The scumbags all want to turn back

The officials who participated in the paternity test as witnesses were arranged in the doctor's office, meeting room and lounge on the floor of the operating room. They were witnesses to the assassination and could only leave after being investigated.The people involved in the case should have been taken to the investigation bureau for questioning, but in order to protect the scene of the crime and avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the flow of people, the place where the final record was made was temporarily decided to be in the hospital.

However, this did not affect their work. The whole floor was noisy and chaotic like an opera house after the show. The subordinates of these officials came in and out to bring work to be processed and orders to be issued. The agents of the Central Bureau of Investigation They and the police officers from the Royal Police Agency are taking notes and walking around exchanging opinions. Soldiers with live ammunition are standing in the corridor with their guns in their hands. The hover car patrolling outside the window is circling around the hospital building. The floating screens in the room and corridor were all turned on, and the hosts of various TV stations repeatedly broadcast the news of the emperor's assassination with serious expressions. The fusion of these noisy voices was simply the best portrayal of the current anxious and chaotic situation.

Mu Jingfeng glanced at the news sent to him by his subordinates. All the military bases in the empire have raised their alert level to the highest level, and they have to report the situation every half hour, and the military headquarters will sort it out and send it to him for his signature.

The news of the emperor's assassination had already spread throughout the empire, and the soldiers were a little distracted. What he was most worried about now was whether the nobles of the fiefs would take this opportunity to set off a rebellion and coup d'état.He has not forgotten the rebellion a few years ago. Although the rebel army was finally suppressed, the hidden dangers in it have not been eliminated. This kind of calm is like a piece of wood standing on the tip of a needle, and the forces on all sides are skillfully balanced and eliminated. , which ensures its stability, but as long as there is a speck of dust falling in the wrong place, everything at present will fall apart.

The overly large size of the empire and the years of abuse can only release the accumulated contradictions through a complete outbreak.It's just that Mu Jingfeng didn't expect the outbreak to come back so quickly.The emperor was assassinated, the crown prince was not the emperor's own son, and the biological son was not born in wedlock, the emperor and the empress did not get along... The nobles and garrison generals everywhere were ready to move, and he could already predict the outbreak of the rebellion.

The big question now is who and where the rebellion will start, and what will lead to it.The splitting of the empire has long been a tacit inevitable outcome of the upper echelons of the military government and the royal family. Disasters are inevitable. How to minimize the damage is the most important thing to do now.

He got up and walked out the door. When the people in the aisle saw him approaching, they immediately made way for him and whispered hello: "Marshal." He just nodded and went out into the corridor.

Huge floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the city bathed in afternoon sunlight.Someone was smoking in the corridor while talking on the phone, and several officials stood together and whispered something.Mu Jingfeng came to the window, he doesn't smoke, but at the moment he also wants to do something to ease the restlessness in his heart.

The family room closest to the operating room opened, and Han Xun came out. When he saw Mu Jingfeng, he walked over and handed him a pack of cigarettes. Mu Jingfeng waved his hand, but Han Xun didn't. Persevere, took out one in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter.

"The queen and the prince haven't come to the hospital yet, but the queen still has time to be interviewed." Han Xun raised his chin at the screen floating above their heads. On the screen, Queen Caitlin in serious formal attire was making a statement to appease the crowd , She said that the culprit will definitely be brought to justice, and now, the police have made a preliminary judgment on the identity of the mastermind behind the assassination.

"Everything is under control." In the camera, Queen Caitlin's face was pale and her expression was firm. "Before His Majesty is discharged from the hospital, all state affairs will be decided by the crown prince and me together. Please rest assured."

Han Xun smiled mockingly: "I'm still confused here, and she has a preliminary judgment on that side? She's not planning to take this opportunity..." Han Xun made a beheading gesture and stared at Mu The expression on Jingfeng's face.He didn't have much direct contact with Mu Jingfeng, but he knew that Shen Luojun and Mu Jingfeng had gotten very close recently, and according to the news from the people he arranged around Ning Yuanchen, the relationship between Ning Yuanchen and Mu Jingfeng There has been a slight change in the way of getting along with each other.

However, jealousy is of no help now. From a rational point of view, it is a good thing. The special relationship between these men and Ning Yuanchen, which he still does not know how to produce, just provides them with the opportunity of the alliance at this point of confusion. reason.

Mu Jingfeng thought for a moment: "Do you think these two did it?" His finger vaguely pointed to the screen.

Han Xun nodded: "I'm worried that they will detain him on trumped-up charges in the next step. Before His Majesty wakes up, investigating the assassination incident is the best excuse they can use to eliminate their opponents. And if His Majesty can't wake up, then all It’s what they say.”

Mu Jingfeng squinted his eyes and looked out the window, while the TV host was still reporting something quickly in his ears.The door of the operating room is still closed, and in the preparation room on the side, which is used to disinfect the doctors before entering the operating room, new doctors are constantly arriving. expression.

"Your Majesty's situation is not good." Han Xun sighed.

Mu Jingfeng crossed his arms, and suddenly said: "The prince may not be involved, the person who joined forces with the queen is probably someone else."

"What?" Han Xun froze for a moment.

"The prince has not appeared in front of the camera for an interview so far. He is probably controlled by someone." Mu Jingfeng said quickly, and walked towards Ning Yuanchen's room, followed by Han Xun, whispering : "You mean, the queen is planning to coerce the emperor to command the princes?"

Mu Jingfeng shook his head: "If the prince is also one of their targets, it won't be long before his name will definitely appear on the suspect list of the mastermind behind the scenes. Something dissatisfied."

"If the crown prince is suspected of assassinating His Majesty, then his status will naturally be lost. At that time, the successors behind the crown prince may be in chaos." Han Xun suddenly said, "If this is the queen's envoy, what does she want to do?" ?”

Mu Jingfeng didn't speak, but pushed the door open and entered.Ning Yuanchen who was standing by the window looked back at them: "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid the situation is not good." Mu Jingfeng said softly, "Do you trust me?"
