"Huh? Are you serious?" After hearing the news, Linton's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. Although princes falling off horses seemed to have happened a lot in ancient times, you, like Li Shiming's prince, also didn't fall off.
Ma, but the problem is that this is a different world, and the people in this world have very poor physiques.
Not talking about saint-level things, even ordinary soldiers often fall off their horses during training. Linton heard that there were some injuries from falls, but they were basically minor injuries. And what Yalan just said was
His life was in danger. He was a prince, not an ordinary soldier. How could his life be in danger?
"Of course it's true..." Yalan said anxiously, "She was just carried back to the palace for treatment."
"Are you going to take a look now?" Linton asked.
"Father has already gone. We can't help much if we go now. Father asked us to finish the banquet here smoothly first," Princess Yalan said.
Linton turned around and looked, and sure enough, Wigley, who had been there all the time, disappeared at some point. It seemed that he had rushed back to the palace. So something really happened to his uncle?
I don’t know what kind of sin I committed, but my wedding was really full of twists and turns, with frequent accidents. Fortunately, the wedding ceremony is over now. It doesn’t matter even if the banquet is over, but those present
After all, everyone has a high status, and Wigley probably took this into consideration and asked him and Yalan to send all the guests away safely first.
"Well, that's okay. We can just wait a little." Linton said. The people who came this time were of high status, and Linton didn't need to deliberately tell them about the situation. After a while, these people would naturally inquire.
After hearing this news, people with a little bit of emotional intelligence would probably choose to leave in advance.
Linton also took a look and saw that there were a few fewer people at the Church of Light, especially Pope St. Reno who disappeared at some point. If nothing else, St. Reno should have been invited by Emperor Wigley.
At least the prince, after all, the healing magic of the Church of Light is still very strong, and it is much more useful than if they go there. They really can't help much if they go, so Wigley probably let them stay here to see off the guests.
As expected, Linton and the others didn't say anything. After a while, many people had already gotten the news. This was very obvious. After the other party chatted with his servants for a while, they immediately looked at Linton.
He looked in the direction of Princess Yalan, and then looked at the place where Wigley was before. After seeing that the emperor was not there, they understood that it was true.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before many people came to inquire about the situation of the two. After getting confirmation from Princess Yalan, there were usually two reactions. One was to go to the palace now to see the situation, and the other was to go home first and wait for the news. In short, there were two reactions.
After this happened, they could no longer stay and drink.
Yes, this matter is much more serious than imagined. The prince fell from his horse and his life was in danger. If something happened, it would not be a matter of killing the prince, but a major matter that would shake the foundation of the country.
As mentioned before, Emperor Wigley only had two sons in total, the eldest prince Damian and the second prince Hermann. The eldest prince Damian is the prince who was injured when he fell from his horse, and the second prince Hermann was actually killed before.
Deposed.
Do you still remember why the Meloway family came to power? It was to quell the rebellion. The one who rebelled was the Duke of Rennes, and the one who united was the Queen. And the Queen and the Duke of Rennes cuckolded the emperor, so Rennes was killed for the rebellion.
After that, the queen was naturally deposed, and her child, the second prince Herman, was deposed because of doubts about his bloodline. Linton was not very clear about what happened to the second prince after that. This was a royal scandal, and of course the emperor
It was impossible to reveal anything to the outside world. In short, no one mentioned what happened to the second prince since then.
There must be only two results, one was deposed and put under house arrest, and the other was killed. Regardless of whether it was or, in short, the second prince must have lost his right to inherit. Since that incident, there is only one heir left in this country.
That is Prince Damian.
So things are really serious now. The only heir fell off a horse and was seriously injured. What if something happens? If the royal family loses its only heir, the following problems will be troublesome.
If such a thing really happens, there are two options. One is to adopt a male heir from the emperor's brother, and the other is a female heir. And the Holy Empire of Yilan does not have many choices. Yes, the current emperor Wei Ge
Li Ta has no brothers. As mentioned before, the royal family has a dominant genetic disease. Wigley himself almost died of the disease, but it was the special herbs that Linton found that saved him. Although he had several brothers before, but
They all died of illness, and they all died very young, so the only royal family left was the Wigley lineage, and it was almost impossible to adopt them.
If you really want to find it, you can only look for other branches of the royal family starting from your grandfather's generation. Obviously this is more troublesome. At least no one can tell the bloodline of other branches right away.
"So... we can only choose female heirs?" Linton thought as he looked at Princess Yalan next to him. Yes, if it is a female heir, his wife seems to be a princess. The succession...
At this time, many of the guests present had received the news. Of course, they also knew that it was not the time to continue celebrating. They kept saying hello to Linton and Princess Yalan and then stood up to leave. Linton also heard that
I learned some specific circumstances. Prince Damian fell off his horse in the street in full view of everyone. This guy, who didn’t know he had a brain attack or something, actually rode his horse in the city. As a result, this matter couldn’t be hidden at all, even the Shaman Council
The people sent here have already received the news and have come to ask Linton and others to resign.
Soon, most of the people at the banquet had slowly left. Others, even those who didn't know what was going on, realized that something was wrong. Naturally, they couldn't stay for drinks or anything like that, so they all asked to leave. It took about a while.
Within an hour, the guests had almost left, and Linton and the others had sorted out the situation. According to the procedure, they would have gone back to Linton's house and entered the bridal chamber early, but now that something had happened, it was not the time to go back.
After getting on the carriage, Linton quickly followed Princess Yalan to the palace. At present, everyone still received the news that Prince Damian was injured. What is the specific situation now? Of course, there is no new news. However, there is no news.
The news is already bad news. If the prince is fine, the emperor will naturally announce the matter immediately. If there is no news, it means that either he is not out of danger yet, or he has...
Thinking of this, Linton looked directly at Princess Yalan next to him, thought for a while and said, "Well... Yalan, speaking of us, we are all married. I don't think I have asked you about the specific situation of your family."
"The specific situation of my family? You don't know?" Yalan asked a little strangely. Is there anyone who doesn't know the situation of the royal family?
"What I mean is, your relationship with your family members." Linton said, "Although we are all family members, there are always good relationships and bad relationships, right? For example... how is your relationship with your two sisters?
?”
Just as Linton finished speaking, Princess Yalan suddenly lowered her head and showed a somewhat sad expression.
"What's wrong? Is the relationship bad?" Linton asked.
"So you really still don't know..." Princess Yalan raised her head and forced a smile and said, "I only have one sister now."
"Huh?" Linton was stunned for a moment. A sister? Because Yalan is the third princess of the empire, Linton naturally thought that the other party had two sisters. It seemed that something was going on.
Fortunately, Yalan quickly explained that the sister she was talking about was naturally Princess Fula, the eldest princess of the empire. Linton had met this eldest princess several times. But there was another sister who should have existed.
, the second princess of the empire, is no longer here.
Yes, Princess Jorah, the second princess of the empire, died of illness five years ago at the age of 14. This was the first time Linton heard about it. And according to Yalan, her relationship with the eldest princess Fulla was average, not
It's not a bad thing at all. The main reason is that Princess Fulla got married relatively early, and the two of them didn't meet very often. It was rare that they would only see each other after going home for a few days. But the late Princess Jorah and Ya
Princess Lan is close in age. The two grew up together and have a very good relationship, so it is obvious that Jorah's death has a great impact on Yalan.
Linton now almost understands the situation when he first met Princess Yalan. Why did this imperial princess choose to run away from home to look for medicinal materials when her mother was sick? Because her very important person was because of her.
She died of illness. Seeing such a scene again stimulated her, so she chose such a radical situation.
Similarly, when Emperor Wigley fell ill, Princess Yalan also seemed very rude. The reason should be because her second sister, Princess Jorah, died of illness. She could no longer accept that other people close to her had died of illness, so she
would make such a dangerous move.
Linton's original intention was to ask about the female heir to determine the order of Princess Yalan, but he did not expect to mention Yalan's sadness. This made Linton quite embarrassed, and he just wanted to comfort him.
, and suddenly heard Princess Yalan say: "Today is my wedding day, I wish my second sister was here..."
"Well, this is really okay." Linton's eyes lit up and he said.
"Huh?" Princess Yalan was stunned, "What did you say?"
"I say, it is really feasible to get our second sister's blessing." Linton said.
