The imperial capital had been making trouble for several days. Compared with the news that his nephew died, another news made His Majesty the Emperor furious. His originally pretty good mood was wiped out. This news was - the famous beauty in the imperial capital, His Majesty's sister, Miss Qiao Qiao, disappeared!

After layers of investigation, it was finally discovered that Miss Qiao Qiao took some guards to the family manor outside the city before the night the Prince's Mansion was attacked. As a result, there was no news after leaving the city.

The soldiers guarding the city gate reported that Miss Qiao Qiao's carriage and convoy left the city gate that evening, but never came back. However, the manor of the Qiao Qiao family also said that the lady had never been to the manor!

So, Miss Qiao Qiao and a team of guards disappeared out of thin air! Not even a single hair was left!

The commander of the public security office had just received two orders from His Majesty the Emperor. The first order was to praise himself for his aftermath after the attack on the Prince's Mansion, but then the second order was to order someone to immediately send someone to find Miss Qiao Qiao's whereabouts!

In addition, His Majesty the Emperor also sent thousands of cavalry from the Royal Guards to scatter out of the gate of the imperial capital in all directions. It is said that even several top imperial warlocks and warriors in the palace who specialize in protecting the safety of the royal family were sent out.

Mr. Qiu just said nothing and watched these people busy. He naturally knew in his heart that Qiao Qiao was dead and his body was hidden by Roddy. As for where he was hiding, Roddy didn't say it, and he didn't ask.

After this chaos, His Majesty the Emperor finally temporarily laid the proposal to Miss Nicole in the Tulip Family, but almost turned the entire capital upside down. Of course, this was not for the dead nephew. Bayan's death may be good news for the emperor. Although Prince Balan, who escaped this disaster by chance, did not enter the palace again, and took his people away from the imperial capital that day and went to a private manor in the suburbs.

Those noble ministers who knew that the emperor and the prince had fought secretly, originally some of the people who had secretly turned to Prince Barang, saw that the prince had lost, were trying to find ways to think of His Majesty the Emperor to show his loyalty to protect himself. But Abbas XI did not have any mood to pay attention to them now. Every day, he just waited for the people who went out to find Miss Qiao Qiao to come back.

"The emperor is a fool."

In a room in a corner of the imperial capital, Seit held a silver wine glass and said slowly with a smile: "Although I'm not sure who took the Prince's Mansion, the boy Roddy suddenly disappeared and disappeared. This matter is probably related to him."

Mark leaned lazily on a chair, as if he was not strong enough. He shook his hand and had already lost the bottle of wine, and said lightly: "The emperor is a fool, but what's the use of saying this?"

A strange expression flashed across Seit's handsome face: "If I were the emperor, I would be the best opportunity to uproot the power that threatened me! The prince's mansion was taken away by someone, and the emperor's greatest gain was that Bayan died! You should know that the emperor's biggest weakness now is that he has no heirs, and Bayan is the royal bloodline, and his father is the son of the late emperor. If His Majesty the Emperor still has no son in the future, then the position of the crown prince will most likely fall on Bayan. Even if His Majesty is reluctant, there is no way. Prince Balan dared to win over these nobles in the imperial capital so arrogantly some time ago, so he saw the emperor's weakness!"

Mark said coldly: "I think that Prince Barang has a problem with his brain. Anyway, the position of the crown prince will be his son sooner or later. Isn't it unnecessary to do so many small moves now?"

Sait sighed and shook his head and said, "It's not redundant at all!" A cold smile appeared on his face: "Whenever there is such a battle for imperial power, which will not kill you to the death? His Majesty the Emperor is naturally reluctant to give the throne to others. He naturally hopes that the throne will have his own inheritance. But he has no son now... so he can only suppress the prince and his group. Alas..." He sighed: "Prince Barang is helpless to try his best to expand his strength. The emperor regards their father and son as thorns in his eyes, and of course he knows that even if the emperor was determined to deal with our Tulip family, and before he could react, Prince Barang is much smarter than the emperor! He naturally seized the time to win over his wings to get enough capital to fight against the emperor in the future!"

Old Mark sighed. Although he knew that the bottle in his hand was empty, he still couldn't help but put the bottle mouth to his mouth.

The eyes in Seit's eyes were a little complicated: "It's a pity, but unfortunately I met some idiots... The emperor is a fool, a fool who is stupid. He doesn't need to use the pillar of the empire, but he just wants to dig down this pillar. Now he doesn't need to consolidate his throne, let Prince Barang ignore it, but he focuses on finding Qiao Qiao... and it's Roddy! This idiot, I persuaded him so hard that day, but he couldn't listen. Now the imperial capital is so messed up, and he left himself...ah..."

Old Mark suddenly glanced at Set and said coldly: "Don't you think what you said is strange?"

"oh?"

Old Mark said lightly: "I don't care if the emperor is a fool or not. Whether he likes the throne or women, it has nothing to do with me... It's just that boy Roddy... Oh... you tried to persuade him to continue to be this duke that day. Who is it for? Or for yourself? For you to escape the responsibilities that originally belonged to you!"

Seit smiled, his face remained unchanged: "Do you think I'm too selfish?"

"Yes." Old Mark still looked lazy and curled up on the chair, but his eyes seemed sharp: "Who is Roddy? He is just an irrelevant person. You are determined to be the Duke of Tulip, for the Empire, for your family, and for your family to be born and die, and fight to kill... Why? His current ability is to kill Royantar in the northwest, and in Xilin Province, he can use thunder to flatten a group of rebels without leaving any grass! For such a person, do you hope to lock him with a chain and then work for your family for the rest of your life?"

Seit smiled unchanged, and after listening to Old Mark quietly, he slowly said, "Do you think I'm a little too much?"

He suddenly sighed, walked slowly to the window, looked at the starry sky outside, and murmured: "Am I really too selfish?"

He smiled strangely: "But, why is it always the duty of our Tulip family to guard the empire and guard the Light Continent? Why do we tulip people always bear this heavy burden? It is said that the tulip family guards the Light Continent, but who will guard our Tulip family? For hundreds of years, our tulip family is a wall, a castle, and a pillar! But... why? Why does that haunted Thorn Flower Family always want us to protect? Abbas XI was obviously a fool, why did we work hard for him?"

"So you let Roddy go?" Old Mark sneered.

Seit's face was calm: "So what? The tulip flag has been flying for hundreds of years. It's time for it to come to its curtain call. A new flag is flying again. What's wrong with it?"

"Don't you think it's inconsistent?" Old Mark frowned: "You don't want to work for that idiot emperor, so why do you want Roddy to go? As for the new flag... where did the new flag come from? Roddy continues to pretend, or is it a tulip!"

Seit shook his head and whispered: "What you don't understand...You don't understand." He smiled strangely: "Rody is a very suitable person. He is brave, but very soft-hearted. He has a strong personality, but he has many principles. It is very suitable for such a person to be the commander of the empire. The empire still needs tulips now. As long as a few years later, the empire no longer needs tulips, then at that time, the tulips can end safely!"

"How many years? The curtain call?" Mark shook his head: "What are the thoughts in your mind?"

Seit said lightly: "I won't harm Roddy, and I won't want to lock him up. At most... at most I'm just using him temporarily." He sighed: "It's a pity that I'm not a person like him... I said, I can never become a person like my father, I can never become a qualified commander... I am a person hiding in the darkness. Tulip's commander should be an idol standing in the sunshine and being respected by thousands of people. Unfortunately, I'm not that kind of person... Tulip's commander needs courage.

Dare, but unfortunately I am not brave, I don’t even want to see blood. If I were asked to take me to the battlefield... I am afraid of pain. Tulip’s commander must be upright, but unfortunately I like to go to evil ways. For example, if you meet an enemy, if you are someone like my father or someone like Roddy, you will draw your sword, challenge the other party head-on, and defeat the other party with convincing methods - that is the way of a hero! But I am not, I like to use other methods."

He turned around and looked at Old Mark and said lightly: "Some people are born to be heroes, but the way of doing heroes is often very tiring. I like fine wine, women, enjoyment, freedom, and conspiracy - but unfortunately if I want to be a hero that everyone admires, these things must be kept away from and cannot even touch them."

"Nonsense." Old Mark scoffed: "Can heroes not like women? Don't people in the world like the legendary stories between heroes and beauties?"

"That's not Aimei...my dear old Mark." Seit smiled and said, "That is love. The love between heroes and beauty is dazzling and brilliant, but a playboy is different. Heroes should be burly, holding a sword in one hand and holding a beloved woman in the other hand, standing at the highest point, looking down at the ten thousand people below with majestic eyes to cheer and respect. As for me... I don't need a sword, I won't use it even if I give it to me, and women, the more they are better... but it's best to change it faster..."

"Hahaha..." Old Mark laughed: "You are indeed not a hero. You should be..."

Seit smiled slightly: "It should be a playboy, a conspirator hiding behind the hero... a Dandong-like character."

Old Mark shook his head: "But I was still confused by you. What does this Roddy have to do with it... You just said that if you use Roddy to pretend to be you for a few years, and after a few years, the empire will no longer need him... What does this mean?"

Seit glanced at Old Mark and whispered: "What do you think the Empire needs the most now?"

Old Mark shook his head: "Of course he is a real Tulip Commander, a hero who holds a giant sword in his hand and defends the dignity of the empire so that the strong enemies dare not face it!"

Seit looked at Old Mark with a pity: "Did you come to this conclusion in your head for more than two hundred years? Oh my God... Don't claim to be a disciple of Dandong in the future, he will be so angry that he will survive by you."

Ignoring the old Mark's gaze that was about to kill, Seit said coldly: "What the empire needs is a real emperor, a leader! Not a fool who only makes trouble, a fool who destroys the Great Wall."

Old Mark smiled: "Emperor? Do you want to be an emperor?"

Seit was startled and immediately said, "Of course not! I don't even want to be a duke... let alone an emperor? Do you think that position is easy to sit in?" He smiled slightly, "Have you ever seen a puppet show? It's the kind of person who holds a few threads on his body and is then pulled to dance slowly."

"Of course I've seen it."

Seit smiled slightly: "What an interesting thing would it be if you could stand behind the back and control an emperor."

Old Mark sighed: "Who said you are a person without ambition? The person who says such words is simply a blind man."

Seit shrugged: "I haven't said this myself. I just said I can't be a hero, but I didn't say I can't be a hero."

His face was very strange: "I know, Abbas XI actually couldn't do it two or three years ago. He had never looked for a queen in the past two years. No one outside knew about this kind of thing. If Jojo hadn't told me accidentally..."

"Hmph, do you care about such messy things too?"

Seit shook his head: "Of course I care... For a playboy like me, what else can I care about if I don't care about these messy things? Do you care about the war in the northwest? Do you have a relationship with the holy war in the northern Roland continent?" He sighed: "But I know a little more than others... Our Queen seems to be in bad health recently..."

"Um?"

Seit smiled slightly: "Our dear Queen, it seems that she is happy... but this matter was just kept hidden from the emperor."

Old Mark stared at Sett with his eyes.

Seit said lightly: "So, no matter who it is, don't think about the position of the crown prince. Bayan, don't say that he is dead, even if he comes alive, I have a way to let him die again! Because no matter who wants to compete for the position of the crown prince, it's impossible! Because this position has been booked by the child in the queen's belly!"

At this time, people will ask the same question, so Old Mark is no exception. He exclaimed: "Whose child belongs to?"

Seit smiled calmly: "My."

"You...you are so amazing..." Old Mark was stunned for a long time before slowly saying: "You actually...you..." He suddenly laughed wildly and said: "You actually gave the emperor a cuckold!!!"

Seit smiled strangely: "What a wonderful future... As long as you last a few months, once the emperor dies, my son will become the master of the heart of this continent... Roddy will continue to serve as his Duke of Tulips, and I will become the new generation of Dandong! From then on, we will create a new chapter in the empire... Alas..."

Old Mark smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy... The emperor died in a few months? Although this idiot is annoying, it seems that he is not a short-lived person. Could it be... Do you still want to kill him? Don't forget that he is the emperor and you are nothing now."

Seit said lightly: "You don't understand this. If you want to kill him, I have at least a hundred ways. But... it seems that I don't need to do it anymore." Seit smiled helplessly: "Our emperor has not been alive for a few months... I have seen his urine and feces with my own eyes... Don't forget, you can teach me my medical skills."

"Don't look at me." Seit glanced at Old Mark: "Your gaze really makes me feel awkward. Well, I tell you that it was Barang who wanted to kill the emperor. He naturally hoped that the emperor would die sooner, so that his son would succeed to the throne one day earlier. This kind of poisoning is not too difficult, and it can be done by bribing a few people in the palace. Besides, His Majesty the Emperor is a fool. If it were in the era of Emperor Abbas, such a thing would not be so easy to do... Alas, tens of thousands of royal guards, a group of palace masters in the palace, and Mr. Qiu, the top warrior - so what? Can they still eat for the emperor?"

He sighed: "What a good idea... After two years of medicine, it gradually accumulated toxicity, and then slowly poisoned people to death. The general method was impossible to see..."

Old Mark sighed, "How do you know so much?"
