Chapter 706 The Queen is critically ill
In Lord Chernobog's Mansion, Purficott now lives a very leisurely life because he no longer has annoying government entanglements.
Although she still retains the right to rule the Northern Territory, under her constant training, the political system of the Northern Territory has become quite complete, and it can operate well even without her intervention.
Even though there will still be some things that she needs to deal with personally, it won't take up too much of her time.
It is enough to spend an hour or two every day reviewing documents, listening to reports from relevant department officials, and giving instructions.
There is a lot of time left for Purficott to do what he wants to do.
Whether soaking himself in the hot spring pool until his skin wrinkles, or setting up a table in the greenhouse garden for afternoon tea, Perfectcott has enough leisure and leisure.
This made her wonder why she didn't quit all her positions earlier so that she could be happy and relax.
Those government affairs that are as troublesome as hanging boots are simply annoying. It is long ago that they should be dumped on others instead of shouldering them alone.
"Hey, the Prime Minister has to do everything in his old age, and as a result, he is exhausted. I can't make this mistake!" Purficott leaned on a huge recliner, so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.
The soft bear skin was spread under her body. It was a huge polar bear skin. The white fur was more than two meters long and could wrap her whole body.
Lying on it and letting the plush feeling wrap around her, it was so comfortable that she didn't even want to open her eyes.
But someone wanted to disturb her at this time. The loyal old housekeeper Foster came to her side and whispered to her: "Miss, there is an urgent call from Beloberg. Her Majesty the Queen is critically ill. I hope you will go to Beloberg immediately." .”
"What? Her Majesty the Queen is critically ill at this time?" Purficott opened his eyes, his eyes full of shock.
Although she knew that Her Majesty the Queen's health had been in poor condition, and she also knew that Her Majesty the Queen's time was running out, she was critically ill at this time...
"I know, prepare the airship immediately!" Purficott didn't think twice and immediately asked the old butler to prepare for the trip.
However, the old housekeeper did not leave. Instead, he hesitated and then said to Purficott: "Miss, there may be something fishy about this matter! Because along with this telegram, there is another news. < br>
Our people in Belloberg reported back that there had been a conspiracy by the Royalists a few days ago, and they seemed to have decided to do something. Then came the news that the Queen was critically ill, and that the troops and knights loyal to the royal family were mobilized.
Now Beloberg has been controlled by the army and knights loyal to the royal family. If anything goes wrong, you will be gone..."
The old housekeeper knew that he shouldn't say this, but Purficott was the only child of the Brandlis family. How could he watch his young lady step into danger?
After hearing the old housekeeper's explanation, Purficott hesitated for a moment. She closed her eyes and fell into thinking.
The old butler's meaning was very clear, that is, the news that the Queen was critically ill was probably a fake news concocted by the royalists in order to lure him to Beloberg and then use the army to deal with him.
Maybe he just wants to put himself under house arrest, or maybe he wants to solve his big trouble once and for all.
After all, Purficott has no heir. Once she dies, the entire Northern Territory will no longer have a legal or nominal leader.
At that time, not even the entire Northern Earldom will be able to exist. The Northern Territory will definitely be taken back by the empire, and the entire Northern Territory force will fall apart.
Purficott does not expect anyone in the north to inherit his mantle and have enough reputation and influence to win over the entire northern camp. After all, she is only eighteen years old, not married, and has no offspring. Once she dies, the northern faction that relied on her own power, prestige, and influence will disappear like a castle on the beach. .
In particular, the Brandless family is no longer different from Jue Hei. Once she dies, the entire family will cease to exist.
As for the side branches of the family? They may be eligible to inherit the title of Baron Brandlis passed down by Purficott's grandfather, but there is no possibility of them getting involved in Purficott's own title of Earl of the North.
And this is also the biggest flaw in the North.
Originally, none of this was a problem. After all, Purficot was only a teenager, and she could still lead her to the north for at least several decades. No one worried about this problem.
However, once someone sets their sights on her and even plans to eliminate her by force, this flaw immediately becomes the most fatal weakness in the North.
It's not like no one has thought of this before, and some people have launched many attacks and assassinations against Purficott. It can even be said that this kind of thing has never stopped.
However, these have all hit a wall in the face of the strong security measures and armed forces of the North. Many of them have been uprooted by the intelligence system and the Assassin Brotherhood of the North, along with the instigators behind them.
So over time, people from Purficott and the Northern Faction gradually paid less attention to this. As long as they paid attention to security work and ensured Purficott's safety, it was enough.
"Have you actually set your sights on me? These guys are really..." Purficott opened his eyes again and shook his head helplessly.

But at the same time, she also admired these people for being able to find the most critical point of breaking the situation.
Indeed, as long as she is solved, the dilemma the royalists are facing now will not be a problem at all.
Thinking of this, Purficott said to the old butler: "Grandpa Afu, go and prepare the airship and my special train."
"Miss, do you still want to go?" Foster tried to persuade her.
But Purficott just waved his hand: "Her Majesty the Queen is very kind to me. No matter whether this news is true or false, I must go to Belloberg. So Grandpa Afu, you don't need to persuade me anymore.
But you don't have to worry. Those people who want to use this trick to plot against me need a little more time. ”
"Miss, since you said so, I beg you to let me go with you. No matter what, I must personally ensure your safety." Purficott has her persistence, and Foster also has his own principles and bottom line.
Faced with the old butler's insistence, Purficott did not refuse. He nodded and said, "In that case, Grandpa Afu, go and prepare your steam armor! It will come in handy for this trip."
"Yes, miss." Foster followed the order and left.
"It seems that the plan I originally didn't want to implement has been forced by you to take this path." Purficott's eyes showed a little sadness.
Although it could be said that all of this was her calculation and planning, she still felt helpless when it came to this point.
