The Dragon Wife and the Manor [System]

Thakild's hands were chained to the wall, his exposed skin oozing a discordant purple, as if he had been drugged for torture.When Sakild ran into Yu Xiasheng, his eyes flashed with astonishment, and his mind seemed to be quite clear.

Thatkild quickly concealed his surprise and said, "What are you doing here?"

"There is an inner ghost in Oss City, isn't it?"

Yu Xiasheng knelt down and said, "I really can't figure out why you are here."

"You're smart." Thatkild smiled wryly, "That's right, that guy Cliff hid the truth from me."

"Cliff betrayed you?"

"No," said Sakild, "he was just being smart and hiding his mistakes."

"The arsenal of the Duke's Mansion was stolen?" All ten of Sakild's cronies died, and Cliff, the only one left, must be in charge of the important weapon warehouse of the Duke's Mansion. In terms of mistakes, Yu Xiasheng can only think of so much up.

Sakild nodded, "Did you meet the pursuers?"

"The arrows from the Duke's Mansion were used." Yu Xiasheng truthfully told Sakild all about the hunt.

Sakild's face darkened, and he looked at Yu Xiasheng with complicated eyes, "Why did you tell me?"

"You want to betray, but I want to know the reason."

Yu Xiasheng said: "There are reasons why those people want to blame you."

"Do you still remember the list of traitors that Rand brought back from the Western Front?" Sakild said, "I had already noticed a large part of them before they were treasonous. After Rand got back the list, the queen executed them." A lot of people, but I didn't expect...the Queen is also one of them."

"what……?!"

Yu Xiasheng subconsciously covered his mouth and looked back nervously.

Nigeya shook his head, confirming that the soldiers outside did not hear the conversation between the two.

"The queen did something intentionally when Icelandi started the war. She wanted war to break out in this country, but I hindered her and let the war end early."

"So the queen wants to weaken your power?"

"Not only the Queen, but also Churchia." Sakild leaned on it, panting, "Is there any water?"

Yu Xiasheng said, "Nigeya, please."

Nigeya glanced at Sakild thoughtfully, turned around and walked out along the corridor.

"The current queen doesn't like to meddle in state affairs. I take over a lot of power. Churchia is not an aristocrat, but she has great ambitions. She has done a lot of things relying on the queen's trust, but the power of regent is in my hands. He can't control the entire empire."

"He's going to get rid of you."

"There is another force besides me," Sakild said.

Rand didn't know that Sakield was being held in the dungeon. I'm afraid that apart from Rand, many of Sakield's political enemies didn't know about it.

In this way, things seem to be becoming clearer.

Sakild's tax adjustment forced the grain production in the Eastern Region to fall into a downturn. The empire's grain trade was monopolized by large chambers of commerce, and the national treasury would be in short supply.The queen will definitely need to rely on Sakild to restore her national strength, and she cannot easily kill Sakild's life.

"What about Portland, why was he involved?" Yu Xiasheng asked.

"Today's parliament is not at the same level. If the prince who is an envoy to the enemy country dies, it is a good excuse for war. If the prince's death is used to blame me, if there is another war in the country, Rand will be sent to the front line. The weakening of power gave Qiu Jiya an opportunity to take advantage of."

Yu Xiasheng shook his head, "But Portland is the queen's grandson..."

"Compared to a grandson, the queen expects the country to be quiet and stable enough. The struggle of the powerful and powerful is enough to make her feel sad. It is more at ease to let Churchia monopolize the power."

Yu Xiasheng sighed, and his eyes fell on Sakild's lap.

His leg has not yet recovered and is still bandaged.Because it hadn't been replaced for a long time, the bandage had loosened, and the hideous scar on the leg began to ooze slightly.

Yu Xiasheng touched his pocket and found that the bandage and medicine that Nigeya used to bandage his wound were still in his pocket, "I'll change the medicine for you later."

Sakild chuckled, "Do you think you have the right to allow soldiers to open this door?"

"No."

Yu Xiasheng turned his head, just in time to see Nigeya who came back with water, knocked out the guarding soldier with his tail, and said with a smile: "But I have brute force."

……

It was already dawn when Yu Xiasheng left the dungeon.

Nigeya beside him yawned big, rubbed his teary eyes, looked at the snowy sky, and whispered to himself: "...winter elves?"

Yu Xiasheng looked at the white sky and said with a smile, "Are you confused?"

"Oh..." Nigeya was too sleepy to move.

Yu Xiasheng asked Nigeya to touch him, and Nigeya borrowed some strength from his body, and he was even more unwilling to leave.

Helpless, Yu Xiasheng had no choice but to carry Nigeya on his back and go back to the room.

After waking up, Neil sat alone on the big bed in panic, looking at the empty room, trembling helplessly.Seeing Yu Xiasheng push open the door, he quickly grabbed the scarf and got up from the bed and crawled towards Yu Xiasheng.

Without paying attention, the small body fell under the bed.

"Chirp." Neil's eyes were dizzy from the pain.

Yu Xiasheng quickly put the sleeping Nigeya back on the bed, picked up the fallen Neil, and gently rubbed his head, "Why didn't you be careful?"

Neil tugged on the scarf tightly, his eyes the size of mung beans were full of tears.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yu Xiasheng asked Neil to lie on top of him, and gently patted the dragon's back.After Neil stopped shaking, he slowly put it on the bed.

As soon as Neil touched the bed, he quickly climbed on top of Nigeya and held on to his arm.

Nigeya vaguely heard Neil's cry, turned over, and carefully embraced Neil on his arm.

"Chirp..." Neil rubbed against Nigeya, feeling relieved.

Yu Xiasheng couldn't help showing a reassuring smile when he saw Nigeya comforting the little dragon.The little dragon can think when he is in the dragon egg and can see the world outside.Yu Xiasheng was worried that Neil knew that Nigeya was not his parents, and he would alienate Nigeya. Now it seems that he was too worried.

Yu Xiasheng changed his coat, climbed onto the bed and fell asleep with his arms around Nigeya.

For the next two days, Yu Xiasheng never saw Portland.After inquiring, I found out that Portland was closed by Churchia and could not go out for a period of time.

Yu Xiasheng brought Portland into the palace grandly through the city gate. Everyone in the imperial capital knew that the prince who was rumored to have been killed had returned. Naturally, Qiu Jiya would not kill Portland in the palace.

Thakild was arrested in secret.

Churchia originally wanted to place the charge of assassinating the prince on Sakild, but now it is not going so smoothly.

Two days later, rumors spread that Sakild was absent from Parliament.

Yu Xiasheng was one of the few people who knew the reason for Sakild's absence.Since he went to the dungeon, Churchia has been sending people to monitor his every move.

Yu Xiasheng was not in a hurry, he went in and out of the palace kitchen every day, and got a lot of honey by doing so.Occasionally, Nigeya would leave the room and walk around. If the number of walks increased, Nigeya knew how many people would be watching.

Yu Xiasheng stayed in the courtyard all afternoon, and when the meeting was over, he got up and walked towards the palace.

Soon, Yu Xiasheng was stopped by someone.

"Please come back, Baron." A robust servant stood in front of Yu Xiasheng and said respectfully.

"I just wanted to meet Portland."

"His Royal Highness is still young, and will not participate in political discussions in the council hall." The servant blocked Yu Xiasheng's way relentlessly, Yu Xiasheng had no choice but to turn around and leave pretending to be discouraged.

The servant followed cautiously.

When they arrived at the remote courtyard, Nigeya, who was waiting, saw Yu Xiasheng and hurried up to meet him.

"It's been a long time." Yu Xiasheng pinched Nigeya's face.Nigeya was wearing a hood, and when Yu Xiasheng pinched her like this, she quickly turned her face away, and Yu Xiasheng quickly removed the hood, revealing her black hair and that beautiful face.

Nigeya was upset, and glared at Yu Xiasheng angrily.

Neil poked his head out quietly under the cloak, saw the servant hiding in the dark, and quickly shrank back.

Yu Xiasheng clung to Nigeya, and the two of them got bored for a while, the servant couldn't stand it anymore, and turned his face away.After hearing no sound for a long while, I hurriedly turned my head to look.

Yu Xiasheng and Nigeya in front of him were long gone. The servant hurried forward, and before taking two steps, he was knocked unconscious by a hard object.

"here you go."

Yu Xiasheng dragged the servant to an unoccupied corner, fortunately there was no snow on the ground, and no trace of the dragging could be seen.

After exchanging clothes with the servant, Yu Xiasheng asked Nigeya to use the magic of identifying obstacles on himself, and after handing the servant over to Nigeya, he hurried to the council hall.

At this time, the morning meeting was over, and the ministers dispersed one after another.

Yu Xiasheng groped carefully among the crowd, and finally found Rand with an ugly face.Yu Xiasheng stepped forward and blocked Rand's way.

"Bold!" Seeing the person in front of him dressed as a servant, Rand shouted angrily from his already irritable mood: "Who told you to stand in front of me!"

"Major Rand, it's me."

Yu Xiasheng raised his head and looked at him without fear.

Rand squinted his eyes suspiciously, and it took a while to see Yu Xiasheng's appearance, "Azaros, why is it you?!"

"Come with me if you care about Sakild." Yu Xiasheng turned his head to leave, followed by Rand, and the two left the palace quickly.

Rand asked for a small private room in the tavern, sat down and questioned Yu Xiasheng unceremoniously, "What kind of conspiracy did Sakild make?"

Yu Xiasheng said: "He is still in Oss City, so let me inform you that the queen intends to go to war with the surrounding countries."

Rand is Sakild's political opponent, so naturally he cannot tell the truth about Sakild's situation.

"Of course I know about this kind of thing!" Rand slapped the table hard, almost piercing through the entire table. "She wants me to lead the army."

"Do you want to fight?" Yu Xiasheng probed.

Rand kept silent, and indifferently avoided the subject, "Hmph, that fellow Sakild may not even be able to protect himself in the future."

Yu Xiasheng said unhurriedly: "Would Major Lande be willing to see Qiu Jiya preside over the overall situation?"

Rand looked at Yu Xiasheng with complicated eyes, and seemed to be curious how Yu Xiasheng knew about Qiu Jiya, "Did you really take refuge in Sakild?"

"My purpose is to liberate the prince, Major Rand."

"That pawn." Rand twisted a mocking smile, "What a pathetic child."

Yu Xiasheng's eyes turned cold.
