Chapter 45 Rebellion
The two girls came to Liberi's residence and found that there was no one there. They asked the patrolling guards and servants, but they could not tell where the prince was.
Isabel said, "No way, did he slip away?"
Qiao Susu gently pushed open the door, looked around Liberi's room, and called the servant to ask him when he would clean.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Why don't we go in and wait for him?"
"He hasn't been back for two or three days."
"How do you know?"
"It's so clean here, there's no sign of life."
Isabel disagreed. "You heard it just now. The servants cleaned it this morning. Isn't that normal?"
Qiao Suisui shook her head and picked up the upside-down glass on the table to show her. "Would a servant even wipe fingerprints off the glass?"
Isabel was stunned. She looked at the cup in her hand and then checked the other cups on the tray. She didn't see even a single fingerprint.
"I just asked, and the servant said Ash wasn't here when I came this morning. He just gave it a quick clean, and the bed is still the same as it was yesterday, which means he hasn't been back. If the servants didn't clean these cups, then who did? What happened here that requires a thorough cleanup of every trace?"
Isabel hissed and covered her head. "No, no, I feel like my brain is growing out of it."
Qiao Suisui opened the wardrobe again. Isabel hurriedly followed and looked at it for a long time, imitating her. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What did you find?"
"The last time I saw Ash was the day he and Lan Ze left the Imperial Court. The suit he was wearing is not in the closet now."
"ah!"
Isabel cried out as if she had suddenly gained enlightenment.
She knew this very well. The royal family stipulated that one must not wear the same clothes on any repeated occasion or when meeting someone you met last time. This was considered a great disrespect.
"So he hasn't come back for a long time!"
Qiao Suisui nodded, "It should be the same day I left. Ash never came back."
"Where did he go? Was he secretly punished by my father? But that doesn't make sense. My father has been unconscious the whole time."
Qiao Susu did not respond to Isabel's mumbling analysis. She hurried out, wanting to find someone to find out what had happened during her absence, but she bumped into a hard chest as she just walked out the door.
"elder brother!"
Qiao Susu covered her forehead and saw Isabel behind her flying into the arms of the man in front of her like a little magpie.
It turns out that he is Gorba III's eldest son, Neo Labrie.
He was a large man, even stronger than Luca, with broad shoulders that made Isabel in his arms seem even smaller. His complexion was tanned by years of sunlight, and he wore a formal royal dress that gave him a dignified and aloof look.
The tall and strong man stood at the door. He slowly raised his hand and symbolically touched Isabel's head, but his eyes fixed on Qiao Susu.
"What are you doing here?"
"Ah, Qiao Suisui and I came to look for my cousin. Have you seen him?"
Neo didn't answer, but moved aside to make way for the door, meaning to let Qiao Suisui come out.
"Go back, don't run around."
After saying that, he raised his chin and signaled to a team of guards. Qiao Suisui and Isabel were immediately surrounded by the guards from both sides. The leading male bowed his head and made a "please" gesture.
Qiao Suisui didn't move. Isabel also felt something was wrong and whispered, "Did something happen?"
Neo remained expressionless as he said, "My father is seriously ill, and the Imperial Court needs to be under martial law. You all should stay in your palaces and don't come out casually."
“But I also want to see my father.”
"Bell."
The man simply called Isabel's name, and the girl didn't dare to say anything more. Qiao Suisui only needed a few words to see that the usually arrogant princess relied on and respected this older brother, so she was willing to listen to him.
From the guards' reactions, it can be seen that Neo's authority is very important in the imperial court, but why didn't Gorba III let him inherit it, but instead passed it on to Lan Ze?
She lowered her eyes to hide the thoughts in them, and followed the guards away silently and obediently.
Behind her, Neo looked at her back for a long time without any warmth.
That night, the entire imperial court fell into an unprecedented silence, which made everything that seemed ordinary seem unusual.
Qiao Suisui looked at the three cubs and felt relieved to see they were all well cared for. But Luka, who usually came to see her every day, didn't come tonight. He always made time even when he was busy. Qiao Suisui judged based on the current situation that Luka didn't want to come, but simply couldn't get in.
She always had a gut feeling about what was going to happen.
It was almost time for bed when a furtive figure suddenly slipped through her palace door. Qiao Suisui lay in bed, expressionless, but in reality, she had already taken out the rewarded water dagger from the system's storage space, intending to protect herself if necessary.
Suddenly, she felt a dent in the bed, apparently someone had touched the edge of the bed. She turned around and stabbed the shadow hard, and heard a "swish".
"Don't kill me!"
Isabel shivered under a torn quilt, wrapping herself up like a ghost, revealing only a face with its features squeezed together.
"It's me, it's me!"
"Why are you here?"
"I'm scared. I want to sleep with you. Is that okay?"
Qiao Sui Sui put the dagger back into the storage compartment, patted the seat next to her, and said, "Come up."
The two girls accompanied each other in the dark night, chatted quietly for a while, and gradually fell asleep.
Qiao Suisui didn't sleep well that night, perhaps because she was filled with so many questions that she was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. Isabel was sleeping in a state of disarray, lying sideways. Fortunately, the bed was big enough for Qiao Suisui to stay in.
early morning.
Luka is here.
He first glanced at the snoring cubs, then quickly walked into the inner room, ignoring Isabel beside him, picked up Qiao Susu and walked out.
She was a light sleeper and woke immediately, her voice a little hoarse.
"Luka."
"Did I wake you up?" He kissed her and said softly, "You can still sleep on the way."
"Where are you going?"
While helping her put on her clothes, he found an incubator and put the three little lions in it.
"Leviri is rebelling. This place will soon be unsafe. I'll take you to my home."
The main house refers to the palace of the Scorsese family. The Legault Palace where she lived before was where Luka lived alone, but the main house is where all the members of the Scorsese family are gathered, because lion beastmen themselves like to live in groups.
"Wait." Qiao Suisui grabbed his arm and looked up and asked, "Ash is rebelling? Are you sure?"
Luka nodded seriously, squatted down and said to her, "Last night, he mobilized the Sun's private army to engage in a positional battle with Neo. I saw him commanding from the battleship with my own eyes. He has now won the support of more than half of the major families. I don't know how he did it, but my father said that Liberi also extended an olive branch to him. However, the Scorsese family will never betray the Sun of Oslan. At this time, the Sun is still Gorba III, so we will not stand on Liberi's side."
If you don't vote and she doesn't vote, when will the author be able to come forward? I ask for votes again. I am sorry for causing trouble to everyone. Thank you all.
