Chapter 47: The Queen Who Swallowed Herself
When a certain girl came to her senses, the conversation in the Palace of Mystery had already ended.
It lasted about an hour.
The blond boy was "humiliated" in a sarcastic way for an hour.
At first she pretended not to hear and with a good temper she kept giving the other party topics and opportunities to insult her, acting quite nonchalantly.
However, later on, the other party's words became more and more excessive, making people clench their fists, grit their teeth, and grow angry.
Of course she wouldn't tolerate normal swearing.
But the other party just cursed without using a single dirty word, using history to satirize the present, without mentioning her at all! She couldn't help but identify herself with him, and after thinking about it for a while, she inexplicably felt that it made sense...
Even though she was clearly scolded, she felt that she was not scolded. This went on and on, making her feel suffocated and anxious.
It was as if he was facing a sarcastic but loyal minister who kept reminding him, the emperor, what went wrong...
But is this really a reminder?
Although those words made sense, they were too disgusting, just like a few rat droppings mixed in a rare and delicacy in the world.
Eat it, it's hard to swallow.
If she didn't eat it and just left it there, it would be a waste! She reluctantly ate a few bites, and finally felt like vomiting. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she kicked him out of the Palace of Mystery! "When I catch him, I'm going to chop him up and feed him to the dogs!"
When the maid walked into the pavilion, she saw the queen who had turned back into a little girl and said these words with gritted teeth.
"Before that, I will send him to a brothel and shut his mouth. Let's see what he can say!"
"This is not good..."
Upon hearing this, the maid said cautiously: "His appearance..."
"Isn't that better? Business will definitely be booming! Maybe it can even open up a way for me to make money... Damn it!"
"How can there be such disgusting people in the world?!"
After swearing in a way that was very inappropriate for his status, he seemed to have finally vented his anger.
The furious little girl's face gradually returned to normal.
The pavilion fell into silence, with no other sounds except the birdsong.
But not long after, the girl who was sitting at the stone table in a state of deep thought suddenly laughed again.
"Great, I have a new idea."
"What is it?" the maid asked her master.
"Bring him to the palace and castrate him to become a eunuch."
The girl said maliciously, "This man has a very sharp eye and a wealth of knowledge. Nothing can be hidden from him. After I catch him, I will train him for a few years and then promote him to be the chief intelligence officer. It will be the most suitable."
The empire's chief intelligence officers were usually eunuchs.
No one knows when this custom started, but it seems that if you are not a eunuch, you are not qualified to obtain intelligence.
The maid didn't know why.
But looking at the queen in front of her who seemed to be joking, she was extremely surprised.
What is the Chief of Intelligence? Apart from his physical defects, he is a close minister to the emperor!
Acting as the eyes and ears, monitoring the inside and outside, the power he holds is something no one in the world dares to underestimate! It can even be said that he is one of the most important ministers under the emperor!
If word gets out about an open recruitment, extraordinary people from all over the world will probably flock to the event!
Even the arrogant nobles of the empire might be tempted! Although this would make the body incomplete and incomplete, in front of such great power, what does a mere eunuch count for? However, Your Majesty should be joking...
The maid thought again.
After all, he looks similar to the late emperor and they share the same blood. No matter how you look at it, he is not suitable for such an important position as chief intelligence officer.
But she still couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say last time that we would kill him after we found him?"
"I did say that."
The little girl was very thick-skinned. She said nonchalantly, "But now that I think about it, it's a pity to kill such a talent. It's like smashing a treasure into pieces. Only a fool would do that..."
It turns out that your Majesty's collecting addiction has struck again.
The maid understood what she said.
The dragon of the empire covets all kinds of treasures, including talents.
It can even be said that talent is what she desires most.
Because people can bring her more "treasures".
Based on this, Her Majesty the Queen has done some things in the past that seemed unreasonable to other extraordinary nobles.
For example, many "talents" among the secular civilians were promoted.
Also, after he came to power, he pardoned several of his former enemies and included them in the fold of his subjects.
There was even a duchess who had bullied her and oppressed her miserably...
This kind of behavior inevitably brought some trouble.
But looking back now, we can see that the benefits of such a choice far outweigh the disadvantages!
Therefore, if that person can really show "advantages" that are more important than his shortcomings, then it is not unusual for Your Majesty to change his mind and begin to appreciate his talent.
But can we achieve this level just by meeting and talking to each other twice? It is not even a simple matter of cherishing talents.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Your Majesty actually mentioned the position of Chief of Intelligence?
Although mentioning it is one thing, actually appointing it is another.
But at least, in His Majesty's opinion, the other party's own talents are already qualified for the position of Chief Intelligence Officer! The maid was a little confused about this.
In just one hour, what did that person say to Her Majesty to cause her attitude to change so drastically?
"By the way, have you come up with any results on the matter I asked you to investigate?"
The confusion in her heart was interrupted by the Queen's question. The maid hurriedly said, "It has been confirmed that no stolen goods related to the pyramids have flowed into the major black markets in the empire recently, and there is no corresponding news in the official archaeological community."
“It’s fake.”
The girl chuckled when she heard that. "Now it seems that he just wants to draw my attention to America or Africa."
"I guess it's Africa, where he himself, or what he wants me to do, is in that godforsaken place."
"Would you like to see the intelligence?"
The maid suggested, "What's the latest news about these two places?"
"Let's take a look at Africa. I haven't paid attention to that place for a long time." The little girl replied.
Soon, a blue crystal ball appeared in front of her.
Reach out and touch it, and a large number of light spots of the same color burst out of the crystal ball, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into various text titles in the air.
Fix your eyes on one of them, and the title will immediately turn into a visual report composed of a large amount of text, pictures, and even videos.
Sitting in the garden pavilion, she kept flipping through the books and saw some things happening in the Republic of York in North Africa.
"Why are there such stupid subjects in my empire?"
The news about York mainly focused on the infighting within the "royal family", which made the little girl very puzzled.
"Who agreed to let these idiots join the Empire?"
"It's the old emperor." The maid mentioned the empress's former "father-in-law" in a low voice.
"That damn old thing?"
The girl frowned when she heard that. "She didn't do many good things, but she did a lot of bad things. She pops up every now and then to disgust me."
"Look, what the hell is this?"
She cursed again, as if she was very disgusted with this matter, or rather, the "damn old thing" she was talking about.
In this case, news about Andy also did not escape her attention.
The content is concise and clearly states that the boy was suppressed because of his talent, detained by rebels, and was suspected of being prepared to be used for a deal with the York royal family.
However, this matter was regarded as a small piece of information in the internal strife of the York royal family and was insignificant.
After looking at it for a few seconds, the girl shifted her attention away as if she didn't take it seriously.
"I'm just waiting to see what kind of students Leonard will accept when he returns."
She snorted coldly and said, "If he really brings a stupid piglet to the palace, he will have no chance of continuing his job as the crown prince's teacher!"
