Chapter 377 Behind the scenes operations(1/3)

"The late king passed away a long time ago and was delayed for so many days. There are many things that need to be dealt with by him."

"This is the first meeting of the pro-government government. Even if you are seriously ill, you will have to crawl here."

"I have been doing random things since I was a child. I thought he would take on this responsibility when he succeeds to the throne."

Outside the political hall of the palace, the ministers all walked out with disappointed faces. Dominic, who had regained consciousness, followed them and kept apologizing to minimize their dissatisfaction.

The ministers managed to calm down a bit, but everyone's face showed worry. With such a monarch, what might happen to the kingdom in the future.

Dominic was seeing off the ministers when he saw a Guards carriage parked at the gate of the palace, and a group of Guardsmen walked into the palace with a forlorn look.

He frowned slightly, turned to look inside the palace, and found blood on the clothes of a Guardsman.

"Has anyone entered the royal capital?" Dominic was secretly shocked, but he heard the carriage next to him make two pounding sounds.

Dominic was startled. He quickly walked to the carriage, hesitated for a moment and then opened the door, only to find that the queen's guard was inside.

"Why are you in the carriage?" Dominic was shocked.

"I was tied up by those people, and they asked me about the integrity of the queen." Alison said with a painful expression, and then raised her elbows, "They also tortured me."

"How could this happen? Is this what His Majesty meant?" Dominic frowned upon hearing this, then took out a bag of money and said:

"If it's His Majesty's order, then he must have a reason. Take the money and go to the church for treatment. Maybe you can be healed. If you don't go to the church, then buy some food."

The pained expression on Alison's face disappeared. She opened her mouth and bit off the handcuff that bound the other hand under Dominic's shocked gaze. Then she picked up the severed hand and said,

"You don't have to worry about me, just worry more about Your Majesty. I just heard from the Guards that they seem to be asking for military advice."

"Military advice?!" Dominic was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes, it is said that I hope His Majesty will sign a decree so that nobles from outside can recruit troops."

As Alison finished speaking, she saw Dominic running towards the palace, shouting as he ran, "Guards, follow me!"

"This is such a dedicated king's hand." Alison shook her head slightly when she saw Dominic's panic, and then walked towards the barber shop in the royal capital.

The medical environment in Flame Flower is similar to that of other feudal systems. Some of the stitches are done in the barber shop. However, compared to other places, the barbers in the royal capital also have high-end goods, such as holy water scooped from the church pool.

.

"The holy water from the Church of Fire is of very good quality. Not only is it warm when used, it prevents wounds from rotting, but it's also not expensive."

The barber waved an earthen clay pot that looked like a pickle in front of Alison, and then took out his professional bloodletting knife.

"Don't worry, I'm a professional. I once shaved off the king's head. I spent seven thousand gold coins to learn the technique at the Imperial Hospital. It doesn't hurt at all."

"Use your best skills and you won't be short of money." Alison said politely.

"no problem."

"Kacha ~ Kacha ~"

Alison watched the barber scrape open the solidified wrist bit by bit, and then compared the severed hand with it. When she subconsciously applied the skin, she thought it was a human being, and then applied the wooden board and holy water.

"This barber used to work in a shoe shop."

Alison frowned and thought, tapping the chair with the fingers of her left hand in boredom.

"Da, da~"

The barber on the side saw that Alison's face didn't change at all, and couldn't help but admire her, "You are not afraid of pain, but it's just my place. If the wound is burned elsewhere, it can't be connected."

"Well, the quality fee is indispensable." Alison nodded slightly when she heard this, thinking that you didn't even connect the blood vessels and tendons, so she tied them up like a curtain. This is because the holy water has good effects, otherwise this hand would be here.

It will all rot at night.

Time passed little by little, and Alison was enjoying treatment. Word spread about what happened in the palace, and soon the streets were talking about it.

"Did you hear that a group of Internal Guards soldiers failed in their remonstrance and were arrested?"

"Military advice?!"

"Yes, it is said that they are helping the nobles to threaten His Majesty to give them more rights."

"Is there such a thing? Nowadays, nobles no longer regard free people as human beings."

"But the security in this royal capital is a bit low."

"that is."

After hearing this, Alison put a clamp on her wrapped hand, paid the money, pushed open the door of the barber shop and walked out, and Boken also happened to follow the code left behind and came here.

"Sir, your hand?" Boken said nervously. Who would have thought that he was just trying to bargain for a price, and when he came out, the people would be gone.

"It's not in the way, it's just for show." Alison shook her head, "If you are injured, you need to bandage it so that you look more like a human being."

After hearing this, Boken no longer cared about this and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what is the situation in the palace?"

"It's nothing, I'm just helping His Majesty make up his mind." Alison shook her head, "Have you finished contacting me about your store?"

"Contact completed." Boken nodded.

"Very good, with such a profitable business as the store, Majia will not be short of sources of funds." Alison said aloud.

In the afternoon, as the queen's personal maid, Alison returned to the palace with her arms tied. This time she no longer traveled freely as before, even as a personal maid.

"If I can't prove my identity and intentions, can I send a message to the queen?" Alison asked.

"No." The Guards shook his head, "We can't rule out your suspicion."

"I won't go in, I'll just ask you to send a message." Alison said with a frown.

"No one is allowed to enter the palace unless summoned by the king." The guards still shook their heads.

"Okay, if you meet the queen, please tell her that we bought a store in the Red Flame District. If you have anything, you can go find me there." Alison said helplessly.

"We are not messengers." The Guards said coldly, "Get out of here! Otherwise we will arrest you as someone with evil intentions."

"No, I'm injured." Alison waved her hands quickly when she heard this, then turned and walked away from the palace.

"If you can't get in, let's make some perfume." She summoned a carriage and headed to the store she bought.

At night, Marjane, who was disturbed by what happened during the day, did not fall asleep. Alison never came back after going out in the morning, and did not wait for her order, so Queen Marjane was a little uneasy.

She was afraid that her master would lose his patience with strategy and blow up the capital.

Fortunately, Alison is very patient.

When King Andrew went to his lover's place and Maja was sitting in meditation, a figure climbed up from under the bed. It looked at the shocked Maja, and the front of it turned into a video screen.

"Sir?" Looking at the figure who appeared, Majia, who was lying on the bed, quickly stood up and saluted.

"The Guards stopped me today and said they would not let anyone else get close to me." Alison looked at Majia and said, "Tell me what happened today."

"There was a military revolt in the palace today. Andrew was frightened. He accused these secret criminal investigation guards of their loyalty and the uncivilized means of sudden intrusion."

"Dominic's interrogation and what they said also made Andrew very angry. He didn't like the feeling of being restrained."

"Although the unpleasantness happened in the morning, this made Andrew even more eager to reform this ignorant country. Regarding the things that the church had made difficult for him before, he planned to confiscate the church's land."

"That's all for now," Maja replied.

Alison nodded after hearing this. Even if the king did not exist, he would die in a few years. She only accelerated his pace.

"What about you? What are your plans?" Alison asked.

"Because of today's escort, Andrew doesn't intend to step on my favor, so he decided to give me the status of a squad leader in the Guards camp, so that I can fulfill my duties and protect him in my duty."

"For this reason, I will be divided into a small camp, and I plan to plant the loyal apple tree there." Majia said, "As for the blacksmith shop, I plan to put it in when I become the captain of the brigade."

"Okay." Alison said after hearing this, "If you have anything, you can contact me through the lurker."

"I understand, sir." Majia said quickly.

As the call ended, the lurker disappeared under Majia's bed.

Chapter 6.1 Meeting Decree

Early the next morning, Andrew returned to Majia's new house as usual. Under the professional arrangement of the palace etiquette officer, the two of them put on serious palace attire and wore crowns to attend the first meeting.

"Your Majesty, Queen."

Under the salutes of all the ministers, King Andrew ascended his throne, and Maga sat below him. He looked down at the ministers below, and then convened a kingdom meeting.

"I think you all know what happened in the palace yesterday. The local lord was able to contact my secret criminal investigation team of the Guards. This makes me very uneasy."

Andrew said, "So I'm going to lay them off."

The ministers and nobles below were shocked when they heard Andrew's words, and then they were ecstatic and supported him one after another.

"Your Majesty is right. Those guards are too arrogant and domineering, and they dare to break into your palace. If Dominic Advisor hadn't arrived in time with other guards, what would happen would be unimaginable."

"Yes, there are rumors among the people that they are black dogs who specialize in biting people. The existence of these guys is to bring shame to the royal family."

"They misused their authority and countless kingdom laws. On the surface, they were protecting the kingdom, but secretly they ordered them to surrender to their masters."

"Cut it off, cut it off immediately!"

Amidst the support of all the ministers, Dominic, who was standing below, walked up to Andrew with an ugly look on his face, "Your Majesty, the secret criminal investigation department is an important team for the king to monitor whether his ministers have committed corruption and rebellion. It is your right-hand man and will be abolished directly.

Okay?"

"There are justices and privy councilors who supervise things. Don't they exercise this right?" Andrew frowned when he heard this, "My right hand, whose right hand have you seen slap him in the face?"
