'The situation of His Majesty the Emperor is very bad. My father has already used the secret passage with the Minister of Internal Affairs to go to the room where His Majesty the Emperor is.'
'Now, what lies before you and me is an extremely difficult test.'
'Excuse me, Your Highness the First Prince, are you interested in the throne of the Silver Empire?'
These words undoubtedly had a huge impact on His Highness the First Prince.
The magician's communication methods did not surprise him.
But his father's situation set off a storm in his heart.
'What's wrong with my father? I must go and see him!'
His first thought was not how to seize power, but his father's safety...
This eldest prince is more affectionate than he imagined.
It's good for a prince to be affectionate. He won't go out of his way to treat those who treat him sincerely.
So Mai Fan took advantage of this and lit a fire nearby.
"Then let's go and take a look. We won't disturb other people. It's just a son's concern for his father."
'Since His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want more people to know...then I will lead the way, just the two of us, let's take a look secretly.'
This decision was a good one. The eldest prince didn't hesitate at all and picked up Mai Fan and walked directly to the side door.
When I left, many people were paying attention to these two focal points in the venue.
It's just that the eldest prince's acting skills are really good.
He put his arm around Mai Fan's shoulders and slapped him loudly: "Let's go, I'll take you to the tavern of the Mercenary Association in Xiashe District for a drink."
"The wine here is not good, and the food here is not good either."
"It's like the dwarf's strong wine, which only tastes good when paired with the meat of the moa."
"Fried and crispy bread crumbs, mixed with strong liquor, is a man's choice."
"Let's go! We won't stop until we get drunk."
This rude behavior and words made everyone in the venue instantly lose interest in these two people.
As the second prince said, these two are just rude barbarians.
It's just that the people on the Second Prince's side are not as easy to deceive as others.
The second prince also had doubts about this and winked at the person behind him.
Not long after, just a few dozen seconds after Mai Fan and the eldest prince left, the heir of the little nobleman followed him.
He didn't dare to walk too fast, and waited for the eldest prince and Mai Fan to go out from the side door for a while before he followed them.
He watched the two figures hug each other, exit the door of the banquet hall, and disappear directly into the night. Then he felt relieved, returned to the ball scene, and reported the situation to the second prince.
When the second prince heard this, he laughed: "Haha, these two lunatics."
"My father will be coming down from above soon. Don't they know how grand this banquet is tonight?"
"Does Wilik's family head really value him?"
"If you take it seriously, why don't you tell him how grand this banquet is?"
"Forget it, they're just two clowns, don't worry about it."
"Please pay more attention to my younger brothers. Father will come out soon and ask them to be more honest."
"yes!"
The second prince didn't care about the venue, so naturally the others didn't care either.
Everyone was waiting quietly for the most important host of this banquet to arrive.
But they didn't know that there were still two people hiding behind the side door they had just explored.
When no one paid attention to this direction, they hid in the darkness and walked directly to a secret door that no one knew about.
Behind the secret door is an upward staircase. Needless to say, the direction leading up to it is His Majesty the Emperor's room.
The person who was following him just now saw only an illusion created by Mai Fan using magic.
It's enough to deceive ordinary people.
But if you want to deceive those secret guards, it is still a bit difficult.
The secret guard guarding outside the gate asked: "Don't you need to worry about them?"
The captain of the secret guard shook his head: "No need."
You can see how skillfully they find the secret door, and it seems that someone has informed them in advance.
As for who told them.
Only His Majesty the Emperor has the authority to deal with this secret door. Since His Majesty the Emperor has given permission, they should not meddle in other matters.
The secret guards at the garden and side entrance just let Mai Fan and his party pass by.
What did Mai Fan do when he led the eldest prince up the stairs?
He stood at the end of the stairs and hesitated in front of the door leading to the room.
"Are we just going to open the door and go in? Do we want to do something first?"
The hand that the eldest prince originally wanted to reach out also retracted.
"That's right, we were indeed reckless."
"It's okay." Mai Fan took out a very ordinary pocket watch from his pocket.
This is actually a directional reporting tool blessed by magic.
It was something he gave to this cheap father after chatting with the head of the family yesterday.
This is also an extra layer of assurance that Mai Fan gives himself.
After all, his safety in this country temporarily requires the contribution of the head of this family.
If he encounters any trouble elsewhere, wouldn't it be most effective to notify his father as soon as possible?
Now I just hope that this pocket watch is carried by the head of this family, so I can bet on how much I value him.
'True to his word: I believe that this pocket watch belongs to my father.'
After Mai Fan added a guarantee to himself, he opened the pocket watch.
The result was very gratifying. After the pocket watch flashed a few times, it made contact with the other party.
"Father, we are standing outside the secret door."
The other side was silent for more than ten seconds...
Squeak, the door was opened a small gap.
Mai Fan took the opportunity to slip in through the gap, and the eldest prince himself went in with him.
Probably he didn't expect that Mai Fan would find this place so quickly. When he and the eldest prince entered, the people in the room didn't show it on their faces, but they were still extremely surprised in their hearts.
At the same time, Mai Fan also discovered it.
Fortunately, he asked his father in advance.
At that time, if he had rashly opened the secret door.
Then the person who greeted him might have been taken away by the secret guard behind the door and a magic repeating crossbow.
The security of this room was tighter than he imagined.
Where he couldn't see, the number of secret guards had reached a level that was quite secretive.
and……
Mai Fan looked at the emperor lying on the bed.
His lifespan should be coming to an end.
His Majesty the Emperor was surrounded by a circle of doctors.
In addition, there are priests who can exorcise evil spirits, and some very small witch doctors.
It seemed that the emperor had tried every possible means that he could think of that might work.
It's just that his body still couldn't hold on any longer, and that's why he suffered such a sudden state.
The emperor, who was lying on the bed, dismissed the doctors surrounding him and turned to look at the two new people who came in.
