I'm a villain, not a devil

As the Prime Minister, Covance's status needs no introduction.

Being taken away as a refugee who was about to starve to death, and finally becoming the palace minister of the empire, the story of Covance can be told for a long time.

Over the years, His Majesty has almost never been involved in state affairs. Although there are often princes and princesses coming and going in the office, and parliamentarians and speakers come and go, he is still the only one in charge of the office.

As long as Covance wanted to, he could obtain the same rights as the Speaker and even be more respected than the Speaker, but he did not do so.

Ask yourself about your innocence and your loyalty. This is the way Covance behaves.

However, his only concern was his son whom no one knew about.

Concubine Lan opposite was graceful and luxurious. Covance was not too surprised when he heard those words spoken by the other party.

The existence of his son was not deliberately concealed, but he stayed with His Majesty all year round, and few people would think of this direction. Now that he was reminded, it was within his expectation.

only……

Lan Keer silently observed the palace minister. Ever since she entered the palace, Covance had been waiting by His Majesty's side.

In a sense, Palace Prime Minister Covance is the true spokesperson of His Majesty the Emperor.

My father said that this was a solicitation, and the other party must not be made to think there was a potential threat, so it was necessary to hint a word or two.

However, after she told Sean all the news, Sean instead said: "The palace minister must be a smart person, so there is no need to say more. He knows the pros and cons. Talking too much will appear to be too purposeful." , even though this is a very purposeful thing in itself.”

Lan Keer chose to believe Sean and did not continue to speak, but waited for the rest of Covance's thinking.

It was a little quieter, but Covance made a decision quickly.

He bowed slightly and handed back the card that could be exchanged for tens of millions of lire to Lan Ke'er.

"I don't quite understand what you're talking about." Covance's voice was still so quiet.

Lan Ke'er didn't show any disappointment. She took the card back, then smiled and prepared to leave.

However, just when she was about to turn around, Covance's voice rang out: "Your Majesty is still angry with His Highness the Third Prince, so you must not think of interceding for His Highness... However, Black Pigeon Prison's You can take a look at the prison guard’s information to have a better idea.”

After saying that, he bowed and motioned for Lan Ke'er to follow him.

Lan Keer was overjoyed. As expected, it was just as Sean said. Not only could he find the information he wanted, but he could also find information on the prison guard responsible for Baiyou. As long as Covance was willing...

They did not enter through the main entrance of the office. Instead, they went around a small door on the side under the leadership of Covance.

It was almost a library. The thirty-meter-high floor was divided into three floors, and various materials were placed on the shelves on each floor.

The empire's technological development is naturally among the best. However, it is His Majesty's personal request to only use paper for data backup. He believes that there is too much uncertainty in storing data on technological products, so all backups and backups are made on paper. .

After walking in, Covance locked the stairs on the second floor in front of Concubine Lan. He bowed and said, "In an hour, someone will come to clean this place."

After that, he left through the side door, keeping the door ajar as he left.

"I have an hour to find the information I want..." Lan Keer thought silently.

She glanced at the locked second floor. There should be more important information there, but Covance couldn't let her query it. He must have known that the information on the first floor was not top secret.

Without wasting any time, Lan Keer immediately found what she wanted.

The various births and relationships of the prison guards should not be considered important information. However, because of the special nature of Black Pigeon Prison, it is still preserved here.

"The fourth floor from the bottom...should be Prison No. 5..."

Lan Keer quickly found what she wanted. She silently wrote down the names and general relationships of the prison guards in charge of the fourth to last floor. She put down the information.

However, just as she was about to close it, she noticed that next to her was the person in charge's information on the fourth floor from the bottom.

Out of curiosity, Lan Keer opened the thin booklet next to her.

"Code name: Pestilence, served for thirty-two years..." The information in the booklet was surprisingly sparse, only a few lines of text.

And "Wen Shi" should be the code name of the watchers on the penultimate floor, including the penultimate floor and the first floor.

Looking at the updated time on the booklet, Lan Keer remembered that not long ago, it was the day when the Black Pigeon Prison was attacked by the tree people. The target of the tree people is still unclear because the warden returned to the imperial capital to report the situation. So the prison's manpower losses are serious.

Apparently, it was updated when the warden returned to the imperial capital that day.

Lan Keer was a little surprised because the warden was changed every five years, which was a well-known situation.

The Black Pigeon is in a special situation. People who stay there for a long time, whether they are prisoners or prison guards, will develop serious psychological problems. How come we have stayed there for a full thirty-two years? Or is this just a code name, and the people after the code name are constantly changing?

In addition, Lan Keer always felt that this code name was inexplicably familiar, as if she had heard similar content somewhere.

However, when there was no time, Lan Keer could only remember the general content and recall it when she returned.

The first floor is very large, but the information inside is not absolutely confidential, otherwise Covens would not let her check it so readily.

It didn't take long for Lam to find another target.

"Fortunately, the information of the major general was not put on the second floor. This should be the highest level that will be kept on the first floor." Lam muttered in her heart, with some surprise in her eyes.

In fact, it was not Sean who took the initiative to ask her to help find it. The real situation was that the two of them were enjoying themselves in bed, and they inevitably talked about various things that happened in the empire during the warm stage afterwards.

She saw that Sean was distressed, and after repeated questioning, Sean told her about the little troubles he encountered.

Lam found that this was just right?

Anyway, she was about to return to the palace, and she just happened to deal with Covens.

According to her father, looking up the information of the prison guards guarding Bai You was called a bonus, and the focus was still on establishing a good relationship with Covens.

However, Lam found that she was able to help Sean solve a small problem.

The best of both worlds.

After flipping through the books for a while, Lam's eyes fell on the name of Major General Lance.

"The garrison officer of the Raya Volcano... took office more than three years ago."

"Life resume..."

The more Lam looked, the tighter her brows frowned. Major General Lance's life resume was a bit too plain and smooth.

Compared with people she knew well, Lam knew that her sensitivity in politics and military affairs was far from good. She was just using her status to assist. However, after so many years of contact, she was not completely ignorant of this aspect. Some abnormal joints could still be seen.

Major General Lance's resume seemed normal, but the biggest weirdness was that it was too normal.

There were many people who were born in an unknown ruined noble family and then joined the Imperial Army, but few could sit in the position of major general.

It's not that the promotion speed was too fast. Lam knew that there were people who were promoted to major general in less than ten years.

And this Major General Lance, according to records, was promoted to Crimson more than three years ago, and was also transferred to Raya Volcano at that time.

Shenhong's strength is outstanding among the major generals. It is not easy for the other party to have such strength from a small noble family.

However, there is a contradiction here.

Others don't know, but she knows very well that it is almost impossible for Lance to be promoted to major general in just over ten years.

His life resume does not reflect his background at all, and now that he has no military merits, he wants to be promoted quickly without a background? It's just a dream.

Of course, Lance can also be extremely capable. Geniuses who fulfill their talents can always be treated preferentially, just like Sean, who is extremely outstanding at a young age. Lan Keer has never seen a peer who is better than Sean, even other princes can't do it.

But this is even more conflicting. If Lance is really such a genius, would he be sent to Raya Volcano?

It's a bit arrogant to say that it's not important there, but if you really want to say how important it is, you can see from the military strength that the permanent military strength at Raya Volcano is only 20,000.

It's not strange for Shenhong to go there, but it's strange for a young Shenhong with outstanding talents to go there.

In addition, Lam discovered that she had never seen any recommendation letters during Lance's promotion.

Recommendation letters are also a reflection of background. Of course, when you are in the middle and lower levels, even if you have no background, you can rely on your talent to attract appreciation.

If Lance is so outstanding, how come there is no record of a recommendation letter?

Lam immediately realized that Major General Lance's resume had been forged.

She observed the surroundings quietly and was surprised that the backup paper materials in the office had been forged?

Did Covens know about this? Or did Covens acquiesce to this forgery?

However, there are only a few people who can easily view the information. Who is this forged for...Prince? Or His Majesty?

Lam did not show any abnormality. She just flipped through it again and again and wrote down all the content she could remember.

She looked at the time and left in a hurry.

Not long after, the door was pushed open again, and several old men who looked unusually haggard came in with tools and started cleaning.

They were old eunuchs left by the previous emperor, so they were usually sent to work in places where the work was easy but the location was sensitive, such as here.

Several old men were doing the same steps as usual, such as dust removal and insect repellent, but one of them had a turbid eye flickering slightly when he passed by the information of Major General Lance that Lam had just read.

...

A few days later.

The room was filled with a rotten smell, and Lam panted and took off the collar on her neck to make her breathing smoother.

After finally leaving the palace again, she told her father about Covens, pretending to go back to the palace quickly, but actually went to find Sean again.

After not seeing each other for a few days, she found that she missed each other more, so she naturally played more exciting tricks.

Lam, who was completely let go, no longer cared about her identity at all, and she didn't care about shame and humiliation. This kind of almost decadent obsession always allowed her to find that sense of freedom and excitement.

She straightened up slightly, smoothed her hair up, then gave the man an extremely charming look and leaned over to help him clean up.

After she came back from brushing her teeth, she lay on Sean's bed and said lazily: "I don't even want to go back to the palace... When I sleep at night, there is no one around, and it always feels empty."

Sean chuckled, and then patted her peach-like buttocks gently.

Amidst the crisp sound, Lan Keer gritted her teeth and looked at him angrily: "Don't seduce me anymore, or you won't be able to walk when you go back later."

Sean chuckled: "Then next time I will go to your dormitory to find you."

Lan Keer's heart trembled. The inside of the palace was incomparable to the outside. There were many experts gathered there and there were countless various defensive measures. It is almost impossible to sneak in, but if she visits her normally, a young man like Sean cannot stay at her place for too long, otherwise he will be discovered.

However, the faint excitement in her heart made her more and more fascinated, and she simply lay down in Sean's arms: "Then... keep your word, you have to find a way to find me."

"Isn't that simple?"

Seeing Lan Keer's confused look, Xiao En also sighed in his heart.

Lan Fei had been suppressed for many years. Ever since she completely let go that night, she was like a dam that had burst. She dared to say anything and play with anything.

However, Sean loved it.

Raising an obedient little pet, coupled with the other person's identity, always brings a different kind of excitement and a sense of conquest.

After a moment of tenderness, the two talked and got back to business.

Lan Keer handed over all the information she recorded to Sean, but she was still confused.

"Major General Rensi must have a problem, but he can't find the key to the problem." Lan Keer said doubtfully.

Sean nodded: "It's so smooth. Moreover, the person who handled his resume is very capable. I know there are problems in it, but I have investigated every link in the resume and I can't find any clues."

Lan Keer showed a surprised expression: "Was it handled so perfectly?"

Sean narrowed his eyes: "It's indeed perfect, but there are still some imperfections."

"Where?" Lan Ke'er asked curiously.

Sean patted her butt again and said with a smile: "Because of you, they showed their flaws."

"Flaw? Because of me?" Lan Keer was a little confused.

Sean stretched and then got up from the bed: "It's time, you should go back to the palace, and then..."

He whispered a few words, and Lan Keer's face turned slightly red, but she still nodded.

…

On the tall trees outside the villa, several birds stood on the branches. One of them was slightly larger and kept turning its head.

Until the back door of the villa was opened, the bird's head fixed its gaze.

Lan Keer walked out, and beside her was a man who seemed very close to her.
