Chapter 215 The Queen is Assassinated
Late at night, "Ramo" organized a rebel camp.
Among the many shabby camps, in addition to the conspicuous yurt where the leader "Ramo" lives, there is a tent that is gorgeous and out of place.
Overall, it looks a bit like a yurt, but it is not that big. Compared with other shabby camps, the tarpaulin of this tent is relatively white, and there are no obvious holes on the surface.
The interior looked relatively spacious, although it was only about 10 to 20 square meters. However, there was only a flat chopping board and a round mat, and not even a bed, so the convertible seemed empty.
There was an oil lamp lit on the chopping board, the only light in this empty and dark space.
The eldest prince sat cross-legged quietly on a round mat with his eyes closed. From time to time, he moved his ears slightly, listening to the noise of the rebels outside the tent, the knocking of weapons, the breaking of porcelain bowls, and the "whoosh" sound made by the wind and waves blowing through the tarpaulin.
Suddenly, a pair of petite legs appeared from the dark space behind the eldest prince. The light from the oil lamp was limited, and I could only see the waist of the person, but not the upper body. However, a furry tail was slightly curled up from behind the legs.
As this person appeared, the eldest prince slowly opened his eyes: "You are here, Doudou."
Behind the eldest prince, a pair of sharp pupils gradually emerged, gradually emitting blue and yellow light, but the light was hidden in the darkness and was not very dazzling, only enough to be distinguished.
She didn't intend to play hide-and-seek with the eldest prince, and she went straight in front of him. A pair of snow-white cat ears suddenly caught the eldest prince's eyes. Doudou looked at the eldest prince in surprise and asked slowly, "How could you guess that I would come?"
The eldest prince laughed at himself and said, "Guess? This time it's my bet. I thought that at least half of the 300 cavalrymen would survive and bring news to the imperial city and Awu. I didn't expect that the enemy would kill them all. I underestimated the strength of the "Ramo" organization."
"I don't care about your arrangement. I just want to ask you one thing." Doudou looked at the eldest prince solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Why do you want to fall into the trap?"
"This is my plan. Don't worry, they won't do anything to me." The eldest prince said with a smile.
"Why?" Doudou wanted to continue asking, but the eldest prince put his index finger on his lips, made a hushing gesture, and then waved his hand. Doudou didn't want to care about it at all and insisted on asking, "Tell me, why!"
Doudou's voice was a little loud. He supported the chopping board with both hands and glared at the eldest prince. The eldest prince looked at the emotional Doudou and only sighed and shook his head slowly: "Where are the guards? Speaking of which, it has been a lot quieter outside since you showed up."
After hearing the eldest prince talking about guards, Doudou finally realized that the eldest prince had just made a "hush" gesture, as if to tell Doudou that walls have ears.
Doudou sat back down opposite the eldest prince and said calmly, "They have all been affected by my illusion and have fallen asleep. If you listen carefully, you can even hear their snoring."
Upon hearing this, the eldest prince raised his eyebrows in surprise and continued to ask, "Are there only guards and rebels nearby? What about the others in the camp? You came here to show that you already have intelligence. Have you checked the tent where "Ramo" is?"
Doudou nodded: "I have put everyone in the camp under my illusion, but the leader "Ramo" is not affected. He just looks like he is sleeping normally."
"What about the others? There are four people with extremely strong abilities. They are called the four 'Kings of Heaven.'" The eldest prince confirmed again.
Doudou shook his head. "I don't know. I only know that when I came here, I saw four men in black coming out of Ramo's tent. Then they each rode a fast horse out of the camp."
The eldest prince was slightly startled, but immediately calmed down, stood up, walked slowly to the curtain, and slowly pulled it open.
The enemy camp was already filled with snoring in the dead of night. The previous noise and bustle had long since disappeared. All the tents had extinguished their campfires, and there were no patrolling guards. The only light was on in the most luxurious yurt in the distance, the tent where "Ramo" was.
The eldest prince finally breathed a sigh of relief after closing the curtain, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose: "Is that so..."
"I have cleared your worries now, so you should answer my questions." Doudou still questioned the eldest prince bluntly, "Why did you fall into the trap? You know that Xiaoyi entered the holy land for your father. If you die now, wouldn't it be a waste of Xiaoyi's efforts?"
The eldest prince smiled and walked back to his seat and sat down again: "They will never kill me."
Doudou looked at the eldest prince in confusion. Seeing his confident look, he became even more confused: "These rebels surrounded the imperial city because they were plotting a rebellion. Could it be that you..."
"Politically, they must want to gain the legitimacy of their regime. However, they have no reason at all now. Even if they succeed in seizing power, it is inevitable that someone will want to rebel again. Therefore, they must find a reasonable excuse to seize power, and the simplest one is for the current emperor to abdicate." The eldest prince did not intend to wait for Doudou to finish speaking, but immediately gave his analysis.
"On the battlefield, they are afraid of Zero-One's existence. After all, Zero-One once performed a feat of rebuilding the Imperial City. Although it took more than a month to recover, there is no guarantee that Zero-One will perform another miracle of changing the world. Zero-One may only need a few years to recover, but it will take more than a few years for the rebels to recover and formulate new plans."
The eldest prince did not hide anything and directly told Lingyi's real name. After all, all the soldiers in the camp were still under Doudou's illusion.
"And I think they only have this one chance." The eldest prince turned his head and looked at the flickering flame in the oil lamp, slightly distracted.
"Why do you say that?" Although Doudou was still worried after hearing this, she still asked curiously as she looked at the eldest prince's eyes, which gradually changed from confident to cold, and then gradually to disdainful.
The eldest prince looked up at Doudou again and answered thoughtfully, "The Ramo organization has actually taken advantage of the right time, right place, and right people. In terms of timing, my father is dying, and the country is in the hands of an immature prince like me. If I take a wrong step, it can become an excuse and reason for them to revolt."
"In terms of geographical advantages, the Ramo organization has already taken control of all the passes outside the imperial city, so it is easy for them to gather an army of 100,000 and besiege the imperial city."
"As for the harmony of people, the Border God of War Awu also left at this time. Even if he turned back halfway, Awu's troops would be no match for him. Aya is also weak and sickly, and it is difficult for her to take on such a big responsibility. And Zero-One, who was dubbed a 'hero', also entered the Holy Land and will not be able to interfere with the coup for a while."
"And this time, they also received support from the 'God Worship'. The God Worship has actually been eyeing our country and wants to become the largest religion in our country. If it succeeds, the God Worship will be the only religion in history to cover the entire continent. And we have always been guided by Teacher A Yue and have never recognized the God Worship."
"The coup launched by the Ramo organization at this moment will give the God Worshipers a chance to take advantage of the situation and capture Andressa in one fell swoop, creating a historic moment involving the four empires."
The eldest prince analyzed the situation from various angles, and Doudou nodded repeatedly. However, seeing Doudou's dazed look, perhaps he was just agreeing. At least in Doudou's opinion, the eldest prince came prepared and chose to walk into the trap.
"I see." Doudou pretended to be enlightened and said, "What does this have to do with you being captured by the enemy?"
"Short selling." The eldest prince simply explained the two words. "Although 'Ramo' needs me as a bargaining chip, my purpose is not just that. I want 'Ramo' to feel that the royal family members are already under his control, and he can force them to abdicate as long as he finds a suitable opportunity."
"If that's what you mean, then Fia and the Queen and Emperor in the palace aren't..." Doudou reacted immediately after hearing this.
After hearing this, the eldest prince sighed sadly, his eyelids drooping slightly: "Indeed, the only thing I am worried about is Aya and my father and mother. Although I think they will not endanger their lives, there are thousands of ways to make them live a life worse than death. So now, I only hope that Lingyi can arrange everything before entering the holy land, at least to ensure that my family will not suffer physical pain."
"Have you told Xiaoyi about your analysis?" Doudou asked worriedly.
The eldest prince shook his head affirmatively: "Of course not. There are many spies in the palace. How could I possibly explain everything to Lingyi in the palace? Moreover, after Lingyi woke up, he only rested for a few days and immediately entered the Holy Land. How could I have time to reveal it to him? So, I left all the escape routes to Lingyi and asked him to help me keep it safe."
"Then how do you want Xiaoyi to cooperate with you?" Doudou asked the eldest prince again without hesitation.
The eldest prince could only smile bitterly and said, "It's very simple. I simply trust him and believe that he can help me deal with my worries."
……
After a long time, the sky gradually brightened.
In the harem of the imperial palace, a eunuch took small steps and quickly shuttled through the back garden alone. He came to an archway, looked around suspiciously, and then opened the archway skillfully.
crunch--
The door opened, and a man wearing black armor with gold edges walked in. He stared at the eunuch angrily and asked, "Is everything arranged?"
The eunuch put his hands forward and saluted respectfully, saying, "General, everything has been arranged."
The man in black armor with gold edges nodded, then raised his right hand and swung it forward. Then a small group of soldiers trotted into the back garden, all wearing black armor with gold edges. And behind the small group, there was another small group, like a long snake, with soldiers constantly entering the back garden...
At the same time, on the eaves of the palace's high platform, a woman held a longbow in her hand, her pointed ears swaying slightly, her emerald green eyes gazing at the entire palace. She immediately locked onto the eunuch with strange behavior and kept watching his every move...
And in the emperor's bedroom.
The queen sat in front of the dressing table with a sad look on her face, combing her long hair while looking at herself in the bronze mirror. She was wearing a loose white dress, which made her look a little bloated. Her eyes were filled with fatigue, and there were even some slight signs of dark circles. It seemed that she did not sleep well that night.
At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and the shadow on the bed should be a woman.
Then a woman's soft voice came: "My Lady, it's time to eat."
At this moment, the Queen's stomach made a rumbling sound. She was about to agree, but then she remembered Xiao Jiu's visit last night and immediately declined, "I'm not hungry yet, please leave."
I thought the maid outside the door would retreat as usual, but the maid was still standing outside the door: "Your Majesty, there is also the Emperor. Let me help you give him something to eat."
"The emperor is still sleeping, so it's not time for him to eat. Please leave." The queen frowned slightly, and her words sounded a bit more commanding. However, to her surprise, the maid outside the door did not leave. Instead, the door of her bedroom was slowly opened. "How dare you barge in..."
Before she finished her words, there was the sound of porcelain bowls breaking when they fell to the ground. A palace maid in emerald green clothes immediately came to the queen, holding a dagger in her right hand and the queen's collar with her left hand. She sat on the queen and pressed her on the dressing table.
What caught the queen's eyes was a hideous, greedy female face, with the corners of her mouth almost stretched to her ears, grinning evilly at the queen: "Your Majesty, don't refuse my toast. I specially sent the others away to come here to serve you."
