Chapter 42 The weird informant
Driven by curiosity, Rega slowly supported his body.
Without touching the wound, he slowly moved to the window.
Looking down, it turned out that it was not a cuckoo singing.
But a short swordsman with brown curly hair.
Shiliu put his hands to his mouth to imitate the cuckoo's call, looking at Rhaegar's room window from the garden.
Rega opened the glass window and shouted down: "Hey, why are you shouting so loudly in the middle of the night?"
Seeing Rega's appearance, Shiliu bowed and left the place without saying a word.
"Neuropathy!"
Rhaegar complained and closed the window.
But I was wondering if the nightmare just now was prophetic?
What are you predicting again?
"No, why is Shiliu in the Red Castle?"
Rega suddenly thought of Xi Liu's origin and hurriedly shouted to the door: "Ilic, I have something to ask you."
Crunch——
Eric pushed the door open and said respectfully: "What are your orders?"
Rhaegar revealed that he had just met Shiliu.
Ilic replied: "Hiliu won the duel championship in the tournament. He asked the king to stay in the Red Castle as a dancer, and he also swore to serve you."
"Xiliu swears an oath to me?"
Rhaegar was confused for a moment, not knowing about the tournament.
After Ilic explained again and again, he realized that Xiliu wanted to be his swordsman teacher and stayed for this reason.
Rega was puzzled: "Since he got his wish, why did he bother me in the middle of the night? Could it be that he wants to see me?"
"It's very possible, but it's getting late at night and it doesn't seem safe to see him alone."
Ilic was specially instructed by the king that Rhaegar and Shiliu were not allowed to have alone contact and must be on guard at all times.
Rega thought the same thing.
But the nightmare is lingering in my heart, and I always feel that it is related to Shiliu.
After some hesitation, Rhaegar decided to meet him.
"Sir, take me to the garden and see what he wants to do?"
Ilic rubbed the hilt of his sword and nodded: "Get on my back, prince."
Rhaegar did not refuse and was carried out by Ilic.
No matter how quickly his injury healed, three days was still too short.
I rely on the help of Ilic to ventilate when I go out.
Go down the stairs, avoid the hall where the servants are cleaning up, and walk into the small garden.
Shiliu waited under the weirwood tree.
As soon as the two parties met, Rhaegar couldn't wait to ask: "Xiliu, why are you looking for me late at night?"
Xi Liu smiled brightly: "I'm sorry for bothering you late at night. It was really an accidental act that attracted my attention."
"Tell me, what did you see?"
Rhaegar became more and more certain that Shiliu was related to the nightmare.
Xiliu said: "After the banquet, I was wandering in the garden and happened to see two figures sneaking past."
"Who is it? Can you see the face clearly?"
Rhaegar was confused.
"The one wearing linen clothes and a shabby hat, but with that beautiful face that I will never mistake, is your sister, Princess Rhaenyra."
Xiliu described the image of the two people and mentioned: "The other one has a tall and straight figure, and there is a vague sense of familiarity. If I remember correctly, Prince Damon left the banquet before..."
Speaking of this, Xiliu said no more.
But the meaning has been expressed clearly.
Rhaenyra and Daemon sneak out of the Red Keep.
Rhaegar frowned and looked at Shiliu carefully.
Rhaenyra and Daemon were on good terms, and everyone in the Red Keep knew this.
Rhaenyra had idolized her uncle as a child.
Damon also doted on his niece and would bring her gifts every time he went out, showing great care for her.
It's not a big deal for the two of them to sneak out.
Xi Liu put his hands behind his back and kicked the stones beside his feet, looking like he had something to hide.
Lei Jia secretly thought that it was indeed the case, and said bluntly: "Tell me, is there anything else?"
Shiliu confessed: "I asked Prince Damon's attendant and he booked a suite at the brothel on Silk Street tonight."
Rega was stunned on the spot and stared at Shiliu in confusion.
The second half of his sentence echoed over and over in my mind.
"The brothel, the suite, Daemon and... Rhaenyra?"
The young Rhaegar's brain shut down for a moment, and he guessed a possible violation of ethics.
Although for the Targaryen family, this possibility has long been familiar.
But Damon can’t!
That guy was up to no good.
Ilic spoke at the right time: "Prince, this matter is extremely important. I think it is time to inform His Majesty the King."
This thing is too bad.
As an uncle, Prince Daemon seduces his niece Princess Rhaenyra to stay in a brothel, which is a grave crime of treason.
"Wait, don't alarm my father yet."
Rhaegar objected immediately, not wanting to bring this matter up to his father now.
An angry father can easily cause a scene.
Whether this happened or not, Rhaenyra's reputation would be damaged.
It will inevitably cause a sensation.
With his brain running rapidly, Rega looked at Shiliu and asked, "How long have the two of them been out?"
"About half an hour."
Shiliu thought for a moment and said.
"Are you sure you saw my sister? It doesn't matter if you see wrong with your eyes, but if you say wrong with your mouth, it will kill you!"
Rhaegar still couldn't believe it.
Xi Liu solemnly said: "I swear to the old and new gods that I am absolutely right."
"That's good, don't make this matter public, understand?"
Rhaegar was full of threatening hints.
Shiliu nodded, bowed and left.
His goal has been achieved, and it is useless to stay here any longer.
Rhaegar stared at the weirwood tree in front of him. The strange face on the tree trunk was weeping with blood and tears, which seemed to overlap with the blood in the nightmare.
Shiliu's appearance was too sudden.
But he had no time to think about his purpose.
He had to find Rhaenyra.
"Sir, let's leave immediately to find my sister."
Rhaegar couldn't wait a moment and wanted to find Rhaenyra without anyone noticing.
The Red Keep was not close to Silk Street, and Rhaenyra had just slipped away for half an hour before everything was too late.
Ilic frowned and said, "It's a very important matter. If we just look for it, it's like finding a needle in a haystack."
"It doesn't matter. I heard Rhaenyra say that Daemon has shares in the largest brothel on Silk Street, and he will definitely go there."
Rhaegar said sternly: "Damon is plotting evil against my sister, we must stop him in time."
"Yes, Prince, it seems that we need to solve the problem before things get bigger."
Ilic carried Rhaegar on his back and started to walk out.
After hearing his words, an idea flashed in Rega's mind, and he vaguely realized that something was fishy.
"Wait, Jazz!"
Rhaegar immediately stopped and collected his thoughts.
Shiliu is by no means a trustworthy person.
He suddenly showed up to tell the truth. On the surface he was showing his favor to Rhaegar, but secretly he might have some plans.
Rhaegar felt that he had to think carefully and sort out his confused thoughts.
Daemon's seduction of Rhaenyra didn't seem like a lie.
Daemon has always coveted the throne. If he could capture Rhaenyra's heart, he would become the king's wife.
You can return to the center of power and even sideline Rhaenyra as the heir.
Shiliu's act of informing is tentatively considered as a sign of goodwill to Rhaegar.
Able to gain Rhaegar's trust.
So what role should Rhaegar play in this matter?
Did the mischievous child tell his father, inciting the king's wrath and ordering Daemon's arrest?
Or in the name of her sister's innocence, sneak out of the Red Keep and look for Rhaenyra?
Or even pretending not to know, hiding the matter, and waiting for things to get serious?
"Yes, make the matter bigger! Some people want to make this matter as big as possible."
Rhaegar suddenly realized that he had a sinister intention.
Whether you tell your father or look for it yourself secretly.
As long as someone spreads it, this matter will definitely become a big deal and ruin Rhaenyra's reputation.
If you turn a blind eye, you will be playing into Damon's heart.
At this thought, Lei Jia was enlightened and smelled the atmosphere of conspiracy.
Rhaenyra wanted to search, but not in a big way.
"We have to find a way to divert everyone's attention!"
After reading yesterday’s reader feedback, there was a lot of controversy over Rhaenyra’s relationship with the protagonist.
The author made in-depth reflections and pursued too much details in the play.
As a result, some chapters are too misleading and the wording is not rigorous.
Replace some inappropriate words and sentences.
Similar chapters will never appear in the future.
