What to do if your crush is the Earl

"Do you think Buck is strange?" Martin asked Xiao Sheng after sending Buck away.

Buck has now become a regular visitor here, and he comes here to drink tea and chat with him from time to time, adding some fun and vitality to the house.

"Which aspect is the sir referring to?"

"Occasionally he forgets the content of his previous conversations, and he gets tired easily. Many times I talk to him, and he falls asleep. And his chat response will be very slow from time to time. When listening to birdsong, someone next to him almost Don't interrupt him."

Martin thought for a while, and added: "—he is easily absorbed in his own thoughts, and becomes very quiet."

"But isn't that the case with old people? Monsieur thinks it's strange for Buck?"

"Well, old people's forgetfulness and lack of energy are long-term and stable, but Buck is different. Occasionally, I think he is active and talkative, and his thinking is very quick. This shows that his forgetfulness and fatigue It's intermittent, or rather, cyclical."

Martin tapped the table lightly with his index finger and said:

"I suspect the nursing home gave them unknown drugs."

Xiao Sheng was a little surprised by this conclusion, but he quickly realized how the other party thought of it: "You mean, that green thing that day?"

"Well," Martin nodded, "we might as well go and have a look."

As soon as they left, Martin and Xiao Sheng came to the clearing again with a few entourages.

After going around and around, I finally found the place before.

The entourage dug up the land again according to Martin's instructions.

The efficiency of the few people working together was very fast, and a large shallow pit soon appeared on the ground, but strangely, there was no shadow of dark green slag leaves.

"Did we remember the wrong place?"

Martin pondered for a while, turned around, and continued to watch them dig down, but the bottom of the pit was already [-] centimeters deep, and there was still no sign of green herbs.

"Damn it."

"Can those things be dealt with?" A middle-aged man in a dark blue robe asked in a chair behind the desk in a room that opened to the inner courtyard and had very poor lighting.

"Yes," the servant in white robes bowed his head, "they have been dug up again according to your order, and they have all been poured into the lake."

"Very good," the man nodded in satisfaction, then frowned and said seriously, "Next time, remember to do it neatly and hide it, so that no one will find out."

"Yes, Mr. Dean." The servant in white nodded, with a trace of shame and fear on his face.

"Go down."

"Okay." The servant bowed and retreated, and slowly closed the door of the room.

--"Wait a moment!"

This shout successfully made the door stop when it closed the last crack, the door was pushed open again, and the servant came in again: "What else does the dean want?"

"What is Cecil doing now?"

The servant reacted and replied: "My lord, Master Cecil has not been here today."

The man frowned: "Did he send you any message?"

The servant replied respectfully, "No, my lord."

"Hmph, this little bastard ran away when he ran out of people. I don't know how many collaborators he has contacted secretly." The dean snorted twice, turned his head and saw the servant still standing there, waving impatiently. He waved his hand: "Forget it, go down. Call Aldrich."

"Okay, my lord." The servant withdrew respectfully.After a while, another man in a black hood came in through the door.

The dean's small eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the person in front of him: "Ode, I need you to find out the origin of the family near the nursing home."

What they are doing, although the personnel are reliable and the work is hidden, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be discordant factors. At this time, it is necessary to prevent problems before they happen.

Aldrich's eyes were covered under the hood, and his voice was a bit hoarse and sullen: "Okay, my lord, Rich will find out for my lord."

The dean thought for a while, feeling a little worried, and reminded: "Don't do anything in private."

"No, my lord." The man's face under the hood seemed to smile, "Rich can guarantee it."

The dean cast a hesitant glance at the man in black in front of him, his eyes seemed not so trusting, but finally he said: "That's good, you can go to work."

"Good day my lord."

Fancheng

Bremen has just finished seeing the Master of the State Teacher.

As the second person in power passed down from generation to generation in the empire, Master Guoshi has the role of guiding the direction of the empire and predicting the fate of the country.

He is old and has gray hair, but he is still full of energy and majesty, and he is still thinking about the empire every day.Breman has always respected his teachings and must follow them.

The conversation between the two happened to involve the matter of the Northland, and for the future plan, the Northland is an indispensable and key link anyway.

Bremen thought of the young man in the Northland again.

After returning to the study, he asked, "How about the Northland?"

"There have been no letters recently, Your Highness. But..."

"But what?"

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, and after evaluating the impact of this matter on His Highness, he continued: "I heard that Lord Antoine fell ill a few days ago."

"How come?" Breman frowned, and clenched his hands involuntarily.

"It is said that it is due to excessive fatigue, old diseases and new diseases."

What is the old disease? Naturally, it is the previous wound, and the gun is still inside, so it is not right to think about it.Every time the temperature gets lower, it hurts. When Breman was with him, Antoine had been enduring it, but he was not unaware of it.

Feeling guilty and pity again in Breman's heart, he paced back and forth in the room with a anxious look on his face: "Is there any cure?"

"My lord," at this point, Rhodes reminded mediocrely, "The news from the Northern Land and the Imperial Capital is slow, and it will take at least ten days. By the time the news comes back, Lord Antoine will probably be ready."

Only then did Breman's face turn pale.

He didn't know what the worries and anxieties that arose in his heart were.

To him, Antoine is a capable subordinate and a powerful assistant to the North Land. He is smart, capable, good at dancing, and understands people's wishes.

Xiao Sheng and his hidden connection, he believed that Antoine knew something about it, but Antoine did not expose or do other superfluous things. to his joy.

In short, his emotions towards this person are very contradictory.

He was suspicious of him about the matter with Mr. Ethan on the frontier.His Royal Highness has lived in the center of the imperial capital since he was a child, and has experienced countless people and things around him. He has seen all kinds of wolves, tigers, leopards, birds, birds and fish.

There are people who go to the top for profit at all means, some are flattering, some are ungrateful for profit, and some are seeking to please.

He didn't expect that the person he admired was actually this kind of person. He had sent people to investigate the border affairs. Antoine's reputation among the soldiers of the lower ranks was not very good. Serving the master to please Lord Ethan, some people saw Antoine and Ethan getting along very close in the barracks.

Breman couldn't tell how he felt the moment he knew the information.

anger?There seems to be a little heartache.

But he was used to playing tricks since he was a child, and he used to put on airs and play tricks in front of others, and he was able to deceive himself.He didn't look into the reason for the sadness and heartache in his heart.

He reminded himself that there is no wave without wind, and he should be more on guard against this person.No more heart-to-heart conversation.

His Royal Highness is used to pretending, so he pretended that nothing happened on the surface, but in fact, he had already built a [-]-point defense line against this person in his heart and alienated him.Coupled with Rhodes' speculation and suggestions, Bremen made up his mind to keep him in the Northland for observation and use.

In fact, as a superior person, you must be decisive and decisive. Based on the principle of not using someone who is suspicious, and using someone who is not suspicious, you should not use this person again.

But Bremen always had some inexplicable emotions in his heart, entangled him, chased him, and made him unable to completely let go of this person.

So it was simply handed over to Odin, and the wire was released remotely.

Bremen didn't know what the hell he was doing either.

Fortunately, the current Antoine didn't seem to disappoint him.

v City.

On the second day after digging, Martin took Xiao Sheng to visit the nursing home.

"My husband wants to choose a convalescent place for my mother." Xiao Sheng said professionally, wearing the golden silk-colored waiter's uniform that the Earl had seen in a clothing store a few days ago.

He was slender, well-mannered, and wore a pair of elegant monocles. At first glance, he looked like a waiter who could only be trained by a noble family.

The dean greeted him personally, and introduced the situation of the sanatorium to this distinguished and noble man.

"Our sanitarium is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment is quiet. There won't be too many people disturbing us. We use springs from the mountains for cooking. According to the latest research, what does it contain..."

"Minerals." The staff on the side reminded.

"Yes, it contains minerals! It is especially good for the body of the elderly."

Martin nodded all the way, noncommittal.

When I turned to the backyard, there was a group of female workers washing dishes in the backyard.The tub was stained with green sauce.

The dean's face changed suddenly, and he scolded: "Didn't you see an adult coming? What are you still doing there? You guys, quickly remove your things!!"

"Wait a minute," Martin waved his hand and called to stop, and walked slowly towards the female worker, looking at the water in the basin, "what are you washing?"

The dean touched the sweat on his forehead, walked over and explained: "This is a snack we prepare for the elderly, a newly developed vegetable in the Institute of Botany."

"Oh? Vegetables? I'm a little interested. May I have the honor to try it?" Martin raised his brows, the smile on his face was flawless, which made people feel stressed, but he couldn't fault it.

The dean was in a hurry to say something when he suddenly saw a man in a black hood coming from the back door.

It's Aldrich who went out this morning.

Aldrich slowly leaned over, most of his face was still hidden in the hood so that people could not see clearly, he leaned over and said something in the ear of the dean.

The blue-robed dean looked at Martin and the others, the light in his eyes gradually changed, flickering slightly.
