After returning to France, the two immediately devoted themselves to the next step in dealing with the parliament.

Joseph sent one of his men to rush back to report the news, so when Joseph and Aesop returned to the palace, the insider who was ambushing the parliament had already been waiting in the king's office for a long time.Aesop took the documents organized by the man, listened to his introduction of the situation in the past few days, and asked a few more questions before sending him away.After the man left, Aesop put the stack of documents in his hands neatly, and turned his head to look at Joseph: "After listening for so long, don't you have anything to say?"

Joseph sat at another table not far away, with his legs crossed and a lock of hair curled between his fingers: "There is nothing to say, you have asked all the questions you should ask. Do you think now is a good time to do it? "

"Well..." Aesop thought for a moment in silence, "Now that we have just returned from England, the parliament's vigilance towards you should be at its weakest moment. You heard what the insider said just now, he thinks we have grasped it now Enough real power, I will read the document later to confirm. If you can do it now, I think it is a good idea?"

"Well." Joseph stood up and walked over, "I think so too. I sent someone to call another insider. When he comes over, you can ask the council if it has become wary of me recently. My action plan is Lock it in the second drawer, today you can make sure there is no problem with the transfer of these candidates, and give me an answer tonight. If there is no problem, we will act within two days."

"The big battle is about to start so soon." Aesop looked into Joseph's eyes and murmured these words, "Joseph, for such an important matter, leave all the preliminary preparations to me, is it okay?"

"No problem, I believe you. You don't have to be too psychologically burdened, we have to make sure again tonight, nothing will happen." Joseph patted him on the shoulder, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, "Don't forget, you But the person I choose. Believe in yourself, and you also believe in me."

Aesop nodded.Joseph bent his eyes in satisfaction, took out the drawer key and handed it to him, then turned around and walked towards the door.He didn't take a few steps when he heard Aesop's doubtful voice behind him: "Joseph? Are you going out just after returning to China? What's the matter?"

Joseph's footsteps paused.Immediately he replied: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I suddenly want to see an old friend."

He pushed open the door and disappeared out of Aesop's sight.

The time is already summer.Joseph walked through the lush green garden, and he recalled the time when he first met Aesop.It was still in the warm spring season, and life in the palace seemed monotonous and boring to him at that time. Year after year, state affairs would not change, the scenery he saw would not change, and his appearance would not change.But at that time, he met Aesop.

He originally thought that Aesop was a very simple child, and that they could be a loving but boring ordinary couple; until the second day after the wedding, when the maid swept the dagger out from under the bed, he Only then did I realize that the story between them was far from simple.

If it was someone else, Joseph thought, he wouldn't give that person a chance.He would take a "photo" of that person and clip it into his photo album.Maybe many, many years later, he will open that photo album again, see that photo, and by the way, he will sigh sadly. He once wanted to spend the rest of his life with this person, but what a pity.

However, when facing Aesop, he was not able to fight ruthlessly.He has a natural affection for this young omega who stumbled into his world with a white rose, and he wants to give Aesop a chance.Aesop didn't let him down, he brought Joseph a surprise, and at the same time, made Joseph fall into it completely.

Joseph walked through the path behind the garden. At the end of the path, there was a hut that had been abandoned for a long time.He used to spend several years in that hut, because that's where he studied "Soulology".He unlocked the door with the key and stepped into the room.

The layout of the room was the same as yesterday, except that it was a little dusty due to lack of care, it was no different from the day Joseph left.The small table was filled with a lot of odds and ends, and there was a photo frame in the middle.Joseph walked over and stopped in front of it.

It was a photograph of a young French aristocrat, which seemed to have been taken a long time ago, on yellowed and faded paper.The person in the photo has the same face as Joseph, but his smile is more peaceful and gentle than Joseph's: even in the face of Aesop, Joseph cannot show such a completely pure and flawless smile.Joseph knelt down in front of it, and said softly, "Brother, I'm here to see you."

He received no response.The person in the photo is still smiling, and the image frozen on the photo paper is illusory and unreal.Joseph knew that this was a soul that he could never save. It took him several years to learn the science of souls. However, the opportunity that made him make up his mind to start research could never come back.

Joseph hooked his lips mockingly.He said: "Brother, in my memory you have always been stronger than me, so whenever I face an important decision, I want to ask you.... What do you think, what is it like to love someone?"

Photo didn't respond.

"Is it true that you are willing to do anything for him and pay any price?"

Still no response.The pictures show people with perpetual smiles on their faces.

Joseph paused for a moment.Then he asked again: "If we've done everything we can for each other, now, can I trust him?"

Outside the window, the sky that had been drowsy suddenly brightened.The wind is blowing, and the strong wind blows away the dark clouds and the haze.Joseph looked out the window at the instantly vivid world, with a smile on his lips.He nodded and stood up: "I understand. Then, I hope I can bring him to see you next time."

He walked out of that room.

The sky brightened for a while at noon, and then slowly dimmed again.Aesop had been busy in the office for a day, and all kinds of people and documents bombarded him indiscriminately, making Aesop dizzy, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, for fear that a small one in his hand would Negligence brought Joseph beyond redemption.

The "task" entrusted to him by his adoptive father is no longer important to him at this time.Aesop knew that until the dust of the parliamentary coup was settled, everything was trivial.It doesn't matter if he himself is taken away or even dies, what matters is that Joseph can complete his career safely.

For this, he is willing to give up everything.

Joseph didn't come back until the evening.When he pushed open the door, Aesop raised his head from the pile of documents in front of him, took a look, and then breathed out a sigh of relief: "You are finally back, I am still worried if you are stuck in trouble."

"After meeting the people, I went to the parliament and the army, and checked the situation in advance. I didn't tell you in advance, so I made you worry. I'm sorry." Joseph came over and put his arm around Aesop's waist from behind, "Darling Yes, how's the situation?"

When he spoke, his scorching breath brushed Aesop's ears, causing Aesop's body to tremble involuntarily: "Stop making trouble, sit down and talk if you want to talk. Generally speaking... I don't think there is a big problem with your actions these two days. "

"Okay." Joseph followed suit, let go of Aesop's waist and sat beside him, "You should have read the action plan, and I will take the lead on the day of the action, so we must not make mistakes. Then the next step—the two of us Let’s go over the flow of action together.”
