Miss Bach's Crab Canon

What's even more strange is how grass grew in the corners and in the cracks between the bricks... The vegetation that was placed for decoration has also grown a lot... And Gao Yiyu feels that he is very close to them, and he is also very close to animals... It's really weird, what happened... The one who just praised me for being good-looking sounds familiar.

But her thoughts, the chaos of the scene, and everyone's discussion—all were stopped by a knock.

"You are a...excellent...a bard beyond imagination that I have never seen before, forgive my previous offense." The Queen's attitude was completely different from before, "I finally understand, poets, myths , and among religions, those extraordinary stories are not false..."

"Oh...oh?" Wait, are you complimenting me?

"The world of music... I have read similar rumors. It is a book left by my ancestors. I thought it was a fairy tale and a story!"

After all, the queen is a great nobleman, from culture - especially Germany, where music flourishes.

It's the hometown of countless music giants, so the queen seems to understand some of the truth.

The queen spoke again to the noisy crowd: "And how impolite you are! After hearing such a miracle, you are squawking like ducks! Get away! You are lucky, don't expect more luck! Remember Get rid of the critters! Clean up!"

To be honest, Gao Yiyu also wanted to leave, but it's a pity that the queen was so enthusiastic.

But these audiences didn't even give a single applause at the end of the walk...Damn it.

"Bard, no matter why you entered the palace, I will help you, in order to thank you for the miracle I got in my twilight years." The queen said slowly, "I also have a small request, I am interested in staying here and becoming a Our court musicians?"

"No, then it's not a bard...huh?"

Gao Yiyu was about to say something very literary, implying that he wanted to go back to other eras, and by the way try to pry some information about the Amber Palace from the queen—because it seems that she was moved by the performance and became an enthusiastic little...old fan .

But the sound of footsteps interrupted the harmonious moment.

——It was the soldier who had just been chased away by the Queen.

His top hat was even crooked, and the gun in his hand disappeared somewhere: "Queen! Something has happened! Your Majesty the Tsar..."

Is this the timing?Gao Yiyu remained calm, but was startled... But it was indeed this moment that he had agreed with Ms. Kajia.If she hadn't bumped into the queen, she would still be visiting the Winter Palace, and she might have found the entrance to the underground treasure house containing the Amber Palace, and Joannes also sneaked in...

But the timing is wrong, troublesome.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he... was assassinated!

The queen gave him a blank look: "It's here again? Did you die this time?" She was rather ordinary.

"not dead……"

"Ha, again."

Gao Yiyu acted surprised, but in fact there was no disturbance. Anyway, the arrangement was to be assassinated and then survived.

"But he's dying." The soldier was extremely nervous, and unconsciously, the whole Winter Palace fell into a serious atmosphere, "Some assassins threw bombs at His Majesty's carriage, but...but the bombs were broken, not fry!"

"...Then why do you say you are dying?" The queen was a little nervous.

"Because...because His Majesty found out that the bomb was broken, he laughed very happily, and even got out of the car himself to laugh at the assassin, but...but...it snowed last night, so he slipped on the car after getting out...and fell... fell head..."

"Damn it." The beautiful girl who had just performed wonderful impromptu music and was even invited to be a court musician began to scold her.

072 The Harp Hidden in the Chamber of Secrets

No one could calm down - as word spread, a bad mood swept through the Winter Palace.

For people with complex identities in the Russian imperial palace, the safety of the Tsar means a lot.Whenever regimes change—and not peacefully—great upheavals strike nations.Those who take risks will think about seeking benefits from it, while others are worried about their own safety, and most people just hope that stability will come sooner.

But for outsiders, this is really just scolding.

After all...the assassination of the Tsar or something...very embarrassingly related to her...

Gao Yiyu showed a heavy, mourning expression, observing the situation as low-key as possible, but his heart was full of dirty words and he dared not speak.

The assassination had failed, the bomb had failed - it was definitely in line with the arrangements.But even the devil of history probably would not have thought that the Tsar himself fell and kowtowed.Judging from the expressions of the messenger guards, this is by no means a fuss about putting on a dog skin plaster and it's OK, but a real problem.

That would be troublesome.

Every time there was a second of silence in the air, the queen's face became more and more gloomy.

Is her husband about to lose his life...

"Then according to tradition and law, I, the queen of Russia, will temporarily preside over the current difficult period..." But the queen was not so sad, "Be prepared for the worst."

"...Please order."

"Call the ministers in the palace to the parliament hall, and let the guards strictly control the security of the Winter Palace to prevent more assassinations and turmoil."

After all, the guard couldn't convey too much news by himself. After being ordered by the queen to do this matter, he was rushed to do things.But on the contrary, he conveyed news along the way, and summoned many guards and maids with quick legs and serious expressions, ready to carry out the queen's order.

"Use telegrams and phone calls to inform the Moscow side of the news, and at the same time notify the police and army in St. Petersburg, arrest the murderer and prevent greater chaos from happening, and prepare obituaries and news. I will deal with the diplomatic aspect later."

"Okay." An orderly left quickly.

The queen said to the rest of the people: "Mobilize the most elite guards to the Winter Palace, and at the same time notify all those who have the line of succession to come to the Winter Palace immediately to prepare...and do a good job of guarding."

Gao Yiyu was very embarrassed, how could a foreign face stand behind the queen and watch her deal with the czar's affairs...

What's more, she seems to be the murderer—no, no, no, she quickly denied it. In fact, it was only indirectly related. Of course, there is not much malice. That's right.

And what she and Ms. Katya didn't want happened.

The elite guards were summoned to the heart of the country, the Winter Palace. The successors and their people would definitely enter the palace one after another. By then, this place would become a tense fortress. If you want to steal something from it and leave it smoothly, it may become very difficult. difficulty.What should I do, do I want to escape and find another opportunity...

It wasn't until a few more orders were given that the queen figured out the order of priority to deal with Gao Yiyu's affairs from the eyes of the soldiers.

"Bard, the tsar you are looking for, as you can see, your business is on hold."

"My business is of no value, but I regret it, and I hope you overcome your grief, and that His Majesty the Tsar-"

"Are you sad? No, I don't have a good relationship with him. He has a lot of lovers. It's not my turn to be sad. I just sigh. He has to leave before I, who is seriously ill."

"This..." Also, his lover Ms. Katya probably didn't expect this to happen, it might be sad...

"It's a difficult time now, but I will treat you as a distinguished guest and give you a place to settle down."

"I accept, and I promise not to disturb the solemn general election of your country... Oh, I mean succession to the throne."

The queen thought for a while, wondering where to settle the bard.Strictly speaking, she can receive high-standard treatment as a diplomatic VIP, and get a very good guest room, housekeeper, and servants—but the artistic soul of a bard may not accept such vulgarity...

Then, there is only...

The queen asked a bit embarrassed: "There is a child in the palace who is very good at music... In fact, these musical instruments are also hers, so she should be able to chat with you very well. If you don't mind, she will accompany you to spend the time. Are these boring waiting times? Please rest assured that her identity and status are very high, and she is definitely not a humiliation to you and your country."

child?Females are called...princess or something?

This act of finding a partner for himself is another act in Gao Yiyu's view.

Parents bought a lot of musical instruments for the little princess who likes music, but they don't touch them at all-so there is dust, Gao Yiyu just saw dust on the piano.

But now it is not suitable for the little princess to come out to play, and the bard has no place to arrange, so let the bard take care of the children to see if they can arouse some interest in music, or teach a few hands to play the piano... I see, it is still Quite reasonable.

Gao Yiyu thinks this is a good arrangement, the most important thing is that the little princess must be a delicate master, the house she lives in must be unusually warm, and the food she eats is full of snacks!Isn't it beautiful.

"I have no objection to your arrangement."

"Great, I hope you can get along well, and I'll talk to you in person afterwards."

The queen recruited an elderly maid to lead the way, and finally made arrangements for Gao Yiyu, and then she turned to the crowd to arrange matters with lower priorities.

"Go and find out, which doctor is best at dealing with wrestling, kowtow, and then ask the patriarch to get some holy water to go through the motions... and add the importance of anti-slip to the training of servants in the future. Oh... there is one more thing -"

Gao Yiyu, who was about to leave the concert hall with Ioannis behind him, slowed down a little - because, the queen said this at the end -

"Go to the underground treasury, and bring out all the ritual utensils inside...especially those left by Catherine the Great in the Amber Palace"

"Yes."

Gao Yiyu left the concert hall, but Joannis was no longer behind him.

The great musician stayed where he was, meeting the eyes of the troubadour who was slowly advancing, and smiling at each other—it was self-evident.

Then, Yoannis and Gao Yiyu's Miao Miao followed the team to the treasure house and said goodbye to her.

……

Without the company of ghosts, Gao Yiyu felt a little lonely, and also had a strange sense of freedom.

Along the way, the palace was full of people running, shouting, with grim expressions, and even crying, but some people showed excitement and joy inadvertently.Of course, most of them are worried. They don't care about the life and death of those in power, they only care about whether their treatment will get worse because of this.

Gossip groups have chatted with news that has trickled in from nowhere.

"It is said that the French were behind the assassination."

"No, no, no, it's the queen... because of hatred for your majesty who had a private meeting with your lover."

"I feel sorry for his lovers, especially Miss Kajia, who was born as a commoner. She was so innocent and helpless conquered by men with money and power, and she simply watched him die..."

"Yeah, she will be the next one to die."

Gao Yiyu pretended not to hear, but maintained his seriousness as a guest, and at the same time prayed that Joannis would go well.Of course, if everything doesn't go well, it's still very easy for Joannis to escape, after all, no one can see her...

On her own side, it looks a bit strange...

Because when I came to a certain corner, the elderly maid stood still in front of a clock, and then started fiddling with those gears, completely ignoring the guests—she was leading the way, why did she stop... …

Can--

When the gears made a crisp snapping sound, a small door suddenly appeared on a certain wall covered by murals.

"The secret room..." Although Gao Yiyu was surprised, he followed him into it.

The maid's smile showed off a little: "Yes, the Chamber of Secrets."

The Russian Winter Palace, a secret room that exists mysteriously... Could it be that there are other murders surrounding the royal family?Oh, it already happened...that's all right.

"Does she, who lives inside, need such protection?" Gao Yiyu couldn't help asking.

"No, it's just that she doesn't sleep well and doesn't like to be noisy." The older maid sighed, "That's why she was specially arranged here. This place was originally the private treasure house of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great. "

So it turns out that the little princess with poor sleep quality seems to be very favored.

The inside of the secret room is quite normal, with the same decoration style. There is a personal maid who is changing shifts at the entrance, flipping through books boredly. She should be responsible for taking care of the princess hidden inside.

The servants talked for a while, they opened the door, stood where they were, and waited for Gao Yiyu to enter: "Please."

It feels like a trap... Gao Yiyu asked nervously: "Wait, is this a conspiracy to lock me in completely?" Is it plotting against my beauty or my musical attainments?

but--

Inside the house, a girl's voice came: "Please don't worry, no one dares to be so malicious to you." This voice gave people a lazy and comfortable feeling, and could even seduce the Sandman.

And—very immature.

In line with Gao Yiyu's previous guess, she is a very noble and favored little princess.

Only then was she relieved, stepped into the door of the secret room, and let them close the door.Just in case, Gao Yiyu tried to summon his own magic power, trying to communicate with these walls and doors... Well, he could communicate.In other words, if really trapped, she can resonate with the walls and make them open on their own.

Magic is so convenient...

She was completely relieved, but before her eyes caught something in the room—

"Your magic is comforting, especially to me."

The little princess's immature voice came to her ears first.

She knows magic!

Following the sound, Gao Yiyu found her.

As young as the voice, a little girl about ten years old was sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling at the visitor.

Her long hair, which has not been cut since she was born, is curled around her body and on the bed like cotton candy.

Her hair was the color of toasted wheat, and it had a wonderfully deep charm.

But the verdant green pupils give people a mature feeling - far from her appearance age.

Her petite body was rolled up in silk and satin, adorned just right with jewels and gold.

"Huh? You have been staring at me, are you admiring my appearance? I recognized this feeling from your eyes." The little princess was very interested, "Then, you also read from my eyes. Does it have the same meaning?"

"...This...isn't it good?" Gao Yiyu found himself slurring his speech.

"You are so beautiful—as beautiful as your magic power, as beautiful as your music." The little princess praised generously.

"Magic power... yes, you know magic power? Oh, it's not surprising..."

Think about it carefully, there are so many mystic believers among the people, such as Mrs. Meck, Ms. Katya, and their wives tea party.It is not surprising, then, that such things are common knowledge at the highest levels of Russia.

But... Gao Yiyu's brain is not that dull.

"You haven't heard my music, have you?"

"Your magical construction notes, I have seen them from a distance. They are colorful and become a piece of nature. Compared with snow and ice fields, they are lush and beautiful. There is no doubt that you also feel my gaze, so you can You came here specifically to see me, and I know that too."
