It rained heavily in the middle of the night, and the brightest lights flickered in the raindrops, and the inky night sky was occasionally swept by blazing thunder, followed by a deafening thunderstorm, as if the gods were showing their power to the insignificant human beings in the mortal world.

Recently, because of the attack on the king, the entire royal city entered a state of martial law, and the garrison issued a curfew, prohibiting all idle people from going out at night.

Even during the day, soldiers patrolled every street, the garrison stopped all non-essential access, and the city was managed in full wartime, which also made the people of the city panic.

But for those who read, this oppressive atmosphere calms the usual hustle and bustle, allowing them to devote a lot of time and energy to books.

The Minister of Law and a scholar of the court university, Yuanwen Doguland, was sitting in his office at the Laurel Academy, correcting the homework handed in by the students.

In the last group class, he gave the students an assignment to analyze whether the legal system under the current policy is unreasonable and how it should be improved.

With assignments like this kind of big proposition, it is easy to identify the quality of students' usual learning.

The best ones can often accurately hit the pain points, and the disadvantages of the needle.

For those students who usually fish, their thinking is only superficial, and the content of their homework is also very superficial.

Yuanwen is a person with a very strict teaching style, and he has high requirements for his students, and many students actually write well, which is enough to be evaluated by other teachers, but in his eyes it is just a general work.

Of course, there are also a few assignments that make Yuan Wen's eyes shine, and he silently memorizes the names of these students in his heart, preparing to focus on training in the future.

When Yuan Wen started to correct Solandelle's homework, his fingers unconsciously brushed the side, and his first reaction was - why is it so thick?

The other students' homework was basically one or two sheets of paper, and the most were only seven or eight, and Solandelle's homework felt dozens of sheets of paper, almost worth a small book.

As soon as Yuan Wen opened the cover of the first page, a line of eye-catching words jumped into his eyes: In order to ensure the eternal existence of the kingdom of Duoguland, and not to make the truth dusty, this article is specially written to clarify the will.

This made Yuanwen's gaze unconsciously solemn, and he turned Solandelle's homework back page by page, carefully reading every word she wrote.

Except for his attentive eyes and page-turning fingers, he was like a statue lying there, and the more he looked back, the more his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief, and at last even with a deep sense of horror.

"Boom-" The moment Yuan Wen finished reading the whole chapter, there was a thunder outside the window, and the bachelor who had always been in the world couldn't help but be frightened and trembled, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in a cold sweat.

Yuan Wen subconsciously put his hand on his heart, trying to calm the violent heart rate, he hurriedly took the homework into his arms, picked up the umbrella and rushed out the door, and disappeared into the rain.

...

In the palace infirmary, the imperial guards are heavily guarding here to protect Pertheus who is recuperating from his injuries in the ward, and in order to prevent the recurrence of a strong enemy that is difficult to deal with, Denisha takes back her sick leave and personally participates in the guard.

Suddenly, the sound of falling rain was mixed with the sound of hurried footsteps, and I saw a figure running towards the main entrance of the hospital from a distance.

After the previous attack of the plague beast, the imperial guards were highly nervous during this time, and directly pulled out the saber on their waists, and shouted: "Stop! ”

However, when they saw the faces of the comers, their tense nerves relaxed again, and an imperial guard stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Lord Yuanwen, is there anything wrong with coming to the medical hall so late?" ”

Because of the hasty running in the rain, the umbrella hardly worked, Yuan Wen was soaked all over his body, and his rain-soaked hair was stained on his face one by one, and he was embarrassed like an old beggar on the street, his expression was a little gloomy for some reason, and he said in a deep voice: "Release, I want to see Pertheus." ”

The imperial guard looked a little embarrassed, and advised softly: "I'm sorry, my lord, Your Majesty has instructed him to recuperate from his injuries in peace these days, and no one will see him." If it's something to do, go to Lord Sting. ”

Yuan Wen asked coldly, "Is Perseus dead?" ”

The imperial guard's face changed: "My lord, what do you mean by this... Your Majesty, of course..."

Yuan Wen: "Call him up if he is not dead!" As long as he's breathing, he's going to have to look at this thing in my hand right away! ”

Yuan Wen said that he rushed in, and the imperial guard stopped him hard, and his face was so anxious that his face was red and white: "My lord, please don't make it difficult for you!" ”

Just when the conflict was a little intensified, Denisha came over and said silently, "Let him in." ”

The imperial guard muttered, "But... Your Majesty has an order..."

Denisha knew that the king had an order, but she also knew that Yuan Wen was a person, this old guy has always been unfazed, when Perseus was just seriously injured by the plague beast, he only briefly inquired about the injury and the loss in the city, and after learning that there was no chaos, he went to read by himself, and his heart was very big.

But now that Yuan Wen has changed his previous appearance, he is extremely impatient, it is obvious that something unexpected has happened, no matter what makes him lose his temper, it is definitely not a wise choice to stop him here.

Denisha wiped the rain from her face and said, "I have any responsibility, let him in." ”

As the chief, Denisha has spoken, and the imperial guards can't say anything more, so they can only let them go.

Yuan Wen didn't even have time to say a word of thanks, so he hurried into the infirmary, and went directly to Pertheus's ward, and walked in without knocking on the door.

Persius woke up from his sleep, looking a little annoyed, but seeing that it was his mentor when he was a child, his tone slowed down: "Mr. Yuanwen, is there anything wrong with coming to me so late?" ”

Yuan Wen stared at Pertheus directly, and spoke unabashedly: "You first withdrew Bolton's military power this year, and then began to deal with a group of powerful ministers who have close relations with Andre. If I'm not mistaken, you're paving the way for Solandale to make a smooth transition to the crown princehood, right? ”

Perhaps it was the acumen of the deep knowledge that Pertheus was not too surprised by his words, but only said in a surging voice: "If you have anything to say, sir, you might as well say it directly." ”

Yuan Wen took out the copy of Solandale's homework in his arms, handed it to Percius, and said in a deep voice: "I can't take care of the crown prince's affairs, and it's not for me to ask. But I saw an article written by Solandale today, and I think it's important for you to take a closer look at it before you decide whether she's the person you want or not. ”

"Boom—" The thunder swept away, illuminating the entire ward in an instant.
