The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

San Aero Empire.

While Xia Zuoyi was busy dealing with the large-scale production of new crops such as sweet potatoes and corn in the territory, moderate political changes were taking place in the empire.

It should be said that it was an action to usurp the throne initiated by the third prince Kaxiu.

The third prince Kaxiu managed to escape from the tower of Tumu where he was imprisoned, and assassinated the eldest prince Warner.

However, the final result of this assassination undoubtedly ended in failure.

In the imperial palace.

The old king who has been sick for a long time, the third prince who was arrested, the second prince Ken, Princess Renner and others all gathered in Warner's study where he usually handles government affairs.

Inside the study are knights with spears or swords.

There are also guards and guards outside the study, knights...

The entire palace seemed to be filled with an atmosphere that made people feel oppressed, tense, and even everyone could not help but hold their breath.

——The empire is about to change.

…………

A study room with a more tense atmosphere.

Kaxiu was escorted by a knight and knelt down on the ground, his hands were tied up, his clothes were dirty, and his face was slightly bruised.

He was captured when he was about to escape from the royal city, and was brought back to the royal palace immediately.

Kaxiu's heart was beating anxiously and fearfully... He was afraid of the judgment and fate that followed.

He couldn't help but cast his eyes on the king.

——His father, at this time, was also held down by two knights, one left and one right, and was firmly pressed on the chair, unable to move.

The king struggled and shouted angrily, and ordered the two knights to let him go quickly, otherwise he would order them to be executed with the most severe punishment!

However, the king was old and weak.

Even though he wasn't tied to a chair, he still couldn't break free from the restraint of these two knights.

What's more, the two knights were expressionless and completely disobedient to the king's orders.

The man they obey is Grand Prince Warner.

"Warner, do you want to rebel?!" The king angrily asked the eldest prince.

Warner stood standing in front of the desk at this time, with his back to the king, turned around and said indifferently, "Father, the one who wants to rebel is not me, but Kaxiu."

"This sentence, you should ask him."

The king choked, but then he became even more furious: "Then let these two damned people let go of me!"

"I'm your father! Not your prisoner! Why do people hold me down on this damn chair and can't move?!"

Warner: "Father, do you really think that I don't know that your participation and handwriting are behind this matter?"

"You want me to tear off the last fig leaf?"

The king's face turned red, his expression was filled with anger and mixed with some very complicated emotions, and finally stopped at resentment.

He said: "Warner, I'm not dead yet, I'm still the king of this country..."

"Not any time soon."

"you……!"

The king was so angry that he couldn't speak at this moment, panting heavily, his chest heaving continuously.

Princess Rennar felt a little pitiful seeing her father like this.

She took two steps forward to say something to Warner, but the second prince Ken secretly grabbed her wrist...

Immediately after Rennar turned his head to look over, Ken shook his head slightly at her - don't go, don't say.

Rennar bit her lip, but finally stopped in place.

She decided to keep silent about it.

Because Kaxiu escaped from the Tumu Tower, many of them had the help of the king.

What's more... Kaxiu's plan to assassinate Warner probably had the king's acquiescence...

The king became dissatisfied with Warner's administration.

Rennar couldn't help but think—did his father really want to kill his eldest brother? !

The king barely suppressed his temper, and said to Warner: "If you still want me to pass the throne to you, then ask someone to let me go now!"

"otherwise……"

Warner put one hand on the king's shoulder, his icy blue eyes looked directly at the king's eyes of the same color, and the little bit of emotion revealed in it instantly stopped the king's words.

"Father, you have raised me as the heir to the throne since you were a child. Everyone in the royal family and the people of the empire know about this."

"My succession to the throne is a matter of course."

Warner straightened up slowly, but his hands still pressed on the king's shoulders and did not leave: "Your health is not good, and you have been complaining about illness. If one day your condition becomes serious enough to endanger your life... sudden death is also possible."

"Even if you don't leave any words, I will inherit the throne of this empire in the end."

The royal family will support him, and the people of the empire will even less object.

The king's complexion changed suddenly.

The redness that had flooded my cheeks due to endless anger was fading away bit by bit...

When Warner let go of the hand on his shoulder and turned to leave, the king became silent, not even uttering a word.

Kaxiu couldn't help showing a look of fear and begging for mercy: "Big Brother, Big Brother, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have dreamed of competing with you for the throne, and I shouldn't have planned..."

"Brother, you can lock me up anywhere, I promise I won't escape again, and I won't pose a threat to you..."

Warner: "For the sake of you being my younger brother, I have given you a chance before, Kaxiu."

"but now……"

"If you have been keeping yourself safe and staying in the Tumu Tower, I will let you provide you with a high-quality life for nobles."

"Unfortunately...you didn't."

"You should now pay for what you did."

"Big brother."

Rennar still couldn't help but say: "Kaxiu, Kaxiu is still our younger brother after all..."

What do you want to do with him?

"Execution by hanging."

"no, do not want--"

Kaxiu uttered a terrified cry and struggled vigorously, however, he was immediately suppressed by the two knights behind him.

The king couldn't help constricting his pupils.

Rennar exclaimed, covered her mouth with her eyes wide open, and murmured: "No, brother, this is too..."

Even the second prince Ken frowned unobtrusively, but immediately relaxed it. He stood in the farthest corner of the study without saying a word.

At this time, he remained silent.

Warner: "He didn't think I was his big brother when he sent someone to kill me."

"Lennar, if I'm soft-hearted towards him today, there won't be a day in the future when he will covet the throne again..."

"At that time, do you think I can still be lucky to prevent assassination or conspiracy again and again?"

Rennar couldn't help pursing her lips, lowering her eyelashes slightly.

"No, big brother, you believe me, I will never make mistakes again, I promise! Please believe me!" Kaxiu cried bitterly.

Regardless of the suppression of the knights behind him, he threw himself in front of Warner, praying unceasingly.

However, Warner was unmoved.

At this time, he hardened his heart more than anyone else.

Because even Ken couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment when he saw Kaxiu like this, and then he turned his head away and didn't look at him again.

The king wriggled his lips and said, "Warner...he is your younger brother."

"But he also had thoughts that he shouldn't have."

Warner said coldly: "And this idea is all the connivance and pampering of the mother and you at the beginning... It was you who made him think that he could replace me as the next successor of the entire empire."

"Father, do you really think that if Kaxiu becomes king, he will do better than me?"

Warner's words couldn't help but make the king change his face again, and then he was speechless again.

After that, Warner ordered someone to take Kaxiu down.

But the king "had become more ill" and finally recuperated in his room without seeing outsiders.

The news that the third prince Kaxiu sent someone to assassinate the eldest prince in an attempt to seize the throne gradually spread throughout the royal city. Three days later, the third prince Kaxiu was executed by hanging in the royal city.

When this matter spread to the territory of Dexinia, Xia Zuoyi was using chili powder ground from dried chili to make food dipping sauce.

The most suitable food in winter is barbecue and hot pot.

He pushed the small dish containing dried chili powder and some other seasonings in front of His Majesty the Pope, and said with a smile, "Try it again."

There was a rare look of hesitation in Saigalot's golden eyes.

He just tasted a little dried chili that was not ground into powder, and his lips seemed to still have a spicy and numb feeling...

Although the taste of chili is novel, it is really unacceptable.

Afterwards, he was comforted by Xia Zuoyi and drank a lot of water and ate some sugar.

It's been relieved now.

Xia Zuoyi showed an embarrassed expression, and said: "It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have lied to you to taste the chili directly. This time, it tastes very good when dipped in chili with sliced ​​meat or vegetables."

"Would you like to try it again?"

"Is it really good?"

"Well, it's really delicious."

Xia Zuoyi personally picked up a piece of barbecue for the Pope, dipped it in a small dish, and handed it to the Pope.

His original intention was to let His Majesty the Pope take the tongs holding the barbecue, but unexpectedly, the Pope leaned over, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and then opened his mouth to eat the barbecue.

The rich taste bloomed in Saigalot's mouth in an instant.

Especially the most prominent spicy taste.

With the neutralization of food and other seasonings, although the pungent taste is still strong, it will not make people feel particularly uncomfortable and unsatisfactory.

Saigalot's slightly frowned brows gradually relaxed, and he felt that he liked the smell a little bit.

Xia Zuoyi asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"

"Well, it tastes very good." Saigalot asked Xia Zuoyi to taste it too.

He let go of Xia Zuoyi's wrist, sat back down again, and naturally took the tong that was holding the barbecue with one hand...

Immediately afterwards, a slice of roasted meat dipped in seasoning was placed in front of Xia Zuoyi.

Xia Zuoyi scratched her cheek, opened her mouth to eat.

"Delicious." He puffed out one side of his cheek and said.

Life without chili was not perfect before, but now, it is simply happiness!

Xia Zuoyi narrowed her eyes and laughed.

He ate a lot of barbecue and hot pot dishes in a row.

——In the booklet about potato recipes sold in the Thorn Chamber of Commerce, there are some ways to eat hot pot, barbecue, and baked potatoes.

Even the pots and so on are made.

Now, it has spread almost all over the territory.

When Xia Zuoyi was [-]% full, Fernandi walked in with Judit, and then reported to him the recent events about the San Airo Empire.

"...Not long after the third prince Kaxiu was executed, the eldest prince Warner took the throne at the behest of the old king."

"Now, Warner Gales has become the king of the San Aero Empire."

The author has something to say: Xia Xia: Eating barbecue together is kind of intimate.

Pope: Next time you can remove the tongs and roast.

Xia Xia:? ? ?

Good night~
