In the closed conference room, the smell of blood had not yet completely dissipated, and a few drops of blood were still splashed on the table.
The black tea has already gone cold.
Joanna sat in the first seat, but she was shrouded in the twilight.
"I'm no longer young, and I'm not entirely confident in handling government affairs. I originally thought that if the Texas people's votes continued to fail, I would take over my brother's responsibilities. Fortunately, you defeated the March family, and the people now recognize the Leta family's royal status. Now, Noben can naturally succeed to the throne."
"He's a good kid and I'm sure he'll do great."
As she spoke, a look of kindness appeared in her eyes.
Ye Lan seemed to see himself in his youth holding a baby and walking into the gate of the Noben family, which he disliked, and now in his middle age he had to work hard to help the young man sit firmly on the throne.
She lowered her eyes to look at the cup of black tea, shook her head slightly, and said, "You know, Nuo Ben has many noble pawns lying around him. As playmates, they've instilled in him the idea of East-West conflict since he was a child, flattering him to the point of being ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. They even publicly provoked my disciples on the train to Sayre Rose University."
Joanna shuddered when she heard that, and looked at her with wide eyes, "What? There is such a thing?!"
"It's true that you're a good aunt and plan everything for him, but it's easier to avoid an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark. He interacts with so many people every day, can you really prevent him?" Ye Lan asked her in return, and then added: "If I'm not mistaken, the March family should also want to make Noben a puppet king."
Compared to the strong and smart Joanna, the young and impulsive Noben is easier to deceive.
Joanna was greatly shocked by the successive news and was unable to react for a while until Ye Lan gently pushed the cup of black tea into her palm.
"Whether the tea is hot or cold is best decided by yourself."
These words enlightened Joanna. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, showing struggle and surprise, but finally she was relieved.
She gripped the cup tightly and chuckled, "It's definitely better to keep it in your own hands."
Half an hour later, Noben was brought back by the elders. When he arrived at the meeting room, he was still confused and saw his aunt wearing a crown and a cloak with the royal emblem.
"Noben, my good boy." Joanna stood by the window. Upon hearing the voice, she turned back and slowly looked at him. A light seemed to be burning in her light gray eyes. She opened her red lips and said, "I am about to register to become the queen. Will you support me?"
Before the secret conversation in the bedroom, Joanna had already sent Noben away. Regardless of whether the matter was successful in the end, she hoped to retain the last trace of the Leta family's bloodline.
So until this moment, Noben didn't know that he was the chosen heir.
Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "Great! Aunt, I've always thought it was a shame that you were only active in the circle of noble ladies. Your ideals and ambitions should be pursued here. I absolutely support you 100%."
The young man was overjoyed, and the sincere congratulations on his face did not seem fake.
Seeing that he had no ambition at all, Joanna finally curled her lips and laughed out loud.
The sunlight outside the window fell on her sparkling crown, making her look incredibly beautiful.
Sure enough, she still desires power.
Under the unanimous attention of the people of Texas, the official website once again responded to this assassination by launching a live broadcast.
The person appearing in the video is Joanna.
She mourned the death of her brother and the conspiracy of the ministers in alliance with external forces. Finally, she stated that in order to prevent the royal family, which had just stabilized, from affecting people's lives again, she would leave the Noben family, take back the surname of Leta, and succeed as the new king.
Thanks to the good reputation Joanna has built over the past decade and the votes she received from a recent live broadcast, the bill undoubtedly received the support of the people of Texas.
That afternoon, she paraded through the streets, walked along the Wusai River, and was crowned king, accepting the public's attention.
Ye Lan and the elders, who had already retired, stayed in the palace and opened the operating room.
The doctor in white coat was lying on the carefully prepared operating table. He took off his mask, revealing a handsome face.
"The bone structure doesn't match the face, he must have had plastic surgery." The elders made a judgment after taking a look. Metaphysics is a ruler that can see the essence through phenomena, so they will not be easily deceived.
Ye Lan took out a golden needle and inserted it into his head, and began to inject internal energy into it.
Buzz.
Under high-frequency vibration, the golden needle penetrated deeper and deeper into the other person's brain nerves, and finally the man woke up under the strong stimulation.
"Hmm!" As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt his limbs being restrained by belts. Seeing the surgical lights above his head, he immediately understood his current situation. "Let me go. What do you want to do? I am the country's leading genius doctor. If you touch me, the medical community will not let you go."
Even at this time, he was still making threats in an arrogant manner.
Ye Lan, who was standing beside him, tilted his head slightly and looked at him. "You killed the minister, which is a capital crime. Do you think Texas law will let you off?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, then reacted very quickly and sneered, "There is no surveillance here at all. Do you have any evidence that I killed someone?"
The surveillance equipment had been removed as early as when the secret arrangements here began.
However, just as he finished speaking, a video was suddenly projected on the ceiling above his head, showing him stabbing the minister to death with a scalpel.
"This...how is it possible?!" The man was horrified and almost suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.
Ye Lan took out the viewing stone from his bosom and handed it to the Fourth Elder, who was good at using computers. "Make a video and send it to the palace security department. It will be broadcast as evidence later."
"good."
As he saw the stone being handed over, the man's eyes continued to follow it.
"What on earth is that thing? What kind of drug did you give me? Why am I having this hallucination?!" As a firm believer in science, he didn't believe at all that a stone without any life could have a recording function.
This is ridiculous.
"Oh, you're surprised by something new. Our ancestors invented this thing thousands of years ago." Nan Xu folded her hands and sneered, imitating his murderous manner and saying, "Fool, you know nothing about the mysterious power of the East."
"..." The man was choked, but still unconvinced, gritting his teeth and saying, "Even so, you won't get a single word from me."
"That may not be the case. Our clan leader has plenty of ways." Nan Xu shrugged, not worried at all.
After all, Ye Lan is a figure worshipped by even the Xuanzong Punishment Hall. As long as she wants, there is nothing she can't get out of him through interrogation.
As he spoke, Ye Lan had already finished practicing his skills, removed the golden needles, gathered his internal energy, and began to ask questions.
"Where are you from?"
The man glared at me with disdain and sarcastically said, "It seems Celia hasn't taught you a lesson yet. Our information will never be known to outsiders. Even if you take the poison sac from my mouth, my brain is the perfect double insurance. It won't let me tell you, because I'll be killed the moment I think of it."
This is how Xiao Yunting's mother, Celia, died in a villa deep in the mountains, without any warning and unable to be saved.
This is also the reason why Stream of Consciousness commits crimes outside without restraint.
