Jamie didn't receive any harsh treatment, he was just locked in a room, and he was taken care of with food and drink, and no one came to talk to him for the time being.

In his mind, these old aristocrats probably wanted to use him as evidence of the empress dowager's infidelity, or maybe they used it to blackmail the royal family.

But for the former, because of the attitude of the king and the queen mother, Jamie always had doubts about his life experience, and he didn't feel that he could really be used as evidence;

As for the latter, he couldn't help but have some subtle thoughts of impatience and contempt: "Are there still people who naively think that those in the royal family care about blood relationship?"

But in any case, he was unfortunately involved in the game between the old nobles and the royal family, and he couldn't get out for a while.

Fortunately, both parties have their own scruples in their struggle for power and profit. If there is no accident in a short period of time, his life and safety will not be endangered. Therefore, he simply endured his temper, waited and watched, and lived a life of imprisonment with peace of mind.

Later, I don't know how the old nobles operated.

One night, when Jamie fell asleep...

Accompanied by the old nobles, or under surveillance, the Empress Dowager quietly ran to see him once.

He just stood at the door, didn't go in, and didn't startle or wake him up, just watched him from a distance for a while.

Then, she left without a sound.

Although this action did not admit anything from the beginning to the end, for the old nobles, it was already tantamount to acquiescing.They thought they had a plan and winked at each other, very happy.

The Empress Dowager completely ignored them, because she never admitted it, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior, only her mood fluctuated.

In fact, she also knew that she shouldn't have gone this trip, but many things can't be maintained by reason alone.

Besides, she has always acted in her own way, and sometimes acted impulsively, this time she was also impulsive...

It's only after the incident that I can't help feeling annoyed, especially noticing the calculating smiles in the eyes of those old nobles!

"Anyway, I didn't admit anything."

The queen mother comforted herself repeatedly in her heart, and suppressed all those negative emotions before she pretended to be normal and walked back to her bedroom.

But who knows, as soon as she entered the bedroom, she saw her king's son sitting on a chair. After hearing the sound of someone coming in, Fang raised her head and looked at herself quietly, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

The queen mother knew immediately that her whereabouts had been leaked.

For a while, both mother and son were silent, they just looked at each other...

Finally, King Richard spoke hoarsely: "I'm sorry, Queen Mother. I never thought that you have feelings for that child."

When he said this, his tone was calm, but it didn't seem like he was really sorry, and there was not much apology in his words. Instead, there was a little annoyance mixed in, as if he felt that her wayward behavior had caused him trouble.

"Oh, my son, every woman will have some feelings for her children."

The queen mother couldn't help but sighed and said something, but hurriedly added: "But don't worry, in my heart, you are always the most important thing, I will not do anything to hinder you, this time... well, I was reckless."

King Richard became more and more silent.

He frowned and looked at the ground, not saying a word for a long time.

The queen mother mistakenly thought that the son was still complaining about herself, and hurriedly explained: "I hope you believe me, Richard——we have been dependent on each other for so many years, and you know me... We have not met or contacted for so many years , I don’t have much affection for that child, what I have is just the guilt of a mother who never raised her child.”

"So, just this one impulse is enough. I can swear with you, no matter who it is, it is not as important as you in my heart. Don't worry, I will not see him in the future, and I will not pay attention to him, just like Same as before."

"It's just... After this incident is officially over, and in the future, if the child doesn't hinder you, you can take care of it... After all, he is also your younger brother, isn't he?"

Hearing this, the king finally raised his eyelids.

He glanced at the queen mother complicatedly, and suddenly took out the armband engraved with the name of Kingslayer Frederick Beckett from his pocket and handed it over.

The queen mother took the armband subconsciously, and was very surprised: "Why is it in your hand?"

While recalling, King Richard slowly said to himself: "Louis was born beautiful and has a very pleasant personality. Even if it doesn't matter, I really thought about recognizing him as my younger brother...Actually, I didn't want you to be sad about this incident, I wanted to keep it from you, and I didn't want to tell you. You should have some doubts, but you are not very sure..."

The queen mother took a few steps back slightly, her eyes stopped on the arm ring, and suddenly realized something, she was afraid that she would not be able to stand still and supported the table beside her with her hand, showing a look that seemed to be fearful but a little bit With a sad expression on his son's face, he said sadly: "I always wanted to know who killed him... It turned out that it was you. But why are you doing this... Well, I don't blame you, but I agree with you. That kid of his..."

At this time, she suddenly remembered what Richard said just now, "Even if it doesn't matter, I really thought about recognizing him as my younger brother." Why, why did I say "it doesn't matter"?Shouldn't it be the brother of the same mother?

A terrible guess came to mind!

Her lips trembled, and she closed her eyes again. After struggling for a while, she said softly: "Since you killed him, his child... Louis is not my child... my child . . . my child never actually survived, did he?"

After saying this, a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and murmured again: "I have felt it before, but I never want to think about it..."

"Mother..."

King Richard had a dazed smile on his face: "Why do you think that I can tolerate the son of a murderer who killed my father?"

The Empress Dowager stared at him, with an expression of extreme pain and horror unconsciously appearing on her face.

King Richard continued to wear that dreamy smile on his face, and there was a mixture of disgust and sadness in his eyes.

He slowly raised his two hands in front of his eyes, fixed his eyes on the slightly curved knuckles, seemed to be caught in a long memory, and after a while, he put his fingers crossed on his chest, lightly Said softly: "Yes, I strangled him, Queen Mother."

The next day, the queen mother fell ill.

The medical officer couldn't see what the disease was, so he had to tell her to rest.

The queen mother then lay in bed all day long, and no longer dressed, as if she had been so shocked that even the handsome men she used to like were unable to reawaken her former enthusiasm.

At that time, those old aristocrats specially came to ask for an interview, and wanted to discuss the matter of the illegitimate child...

Unexpectedly, the queen mother was indifferent this time, as if she was completely out of it, and Pepsi didn't care about it.

The old aristocrats were puzzled, so they had to send representatives to euphemistically hint to the king that if he didn't give any concessions, he would definitely make these matters worse.

King Richard was determined not to budge.

It's just because the things these old nobles are asking for are really whimsical.

What they were thinking was that they wanted to restore the old lord system. If it was really not allowed, at least they would have to gain some management and military power over the territory!

This kind of unreasonable demand, which is close to the separation of powers, is impossible for the king to allow, and he hates it.

But the old aristocrats always felt that they could still fight. At first, they only hinted at it, but later, they blatantly told King Richard that since the Queen Mother had an affair with the regicide and assassinated the late king, then when the late king died, He didn't seem to have left any will, so his position as king may not be reasonable and legal!

King Richard scoffed at this and ignored them.

The old aristocrats also know that it is impossible to negotiate peacefully. They will implement the original plan, which is what Mr. Dressel wanted to do before his death. He will convene a noble council to publicly judge the empress dowager for fornicating and murdering the king. case.

Prior to this, although the royal family scandal was flying all over the sky.

But after all, it is a rumor, there is no conclusion.

Now, these old nobles are relentlessly clamoring for a public trial, and it seems that they want to confirm this matter!

King Richard was finally enraged.

He sent someone to summon Earl Safir to the palace, conspired with him for a long time, paid a lot of money, and was determined to get rid of these people.

That night, Queen Alisa stood in front of the window, looking out the window in a daze.

The loyal female officer Maggie hurriedly served her a cup of hot tea, and then asked with concern: "Excuse me, Your Highness, you seem a little unhappy?"

Holding the teacup, the queen murmured, "Well, don't worry about me, dear, I just feel a little tired."

She looked out the window at the night that was so dark that she couldn't see anything, and said quietly: "I really can't imagine that so many people have died in the past few years... Please don't laugh at my wild imagination, Maggie. It's just, I always have a very ominous premonition that the god of death has arrived and is strolling leisurely over our country...By the way, is His Majesty still discussing matters with Earl Safir?"

Maggie replied: "Lord Earl Safir has just left, and he should have finished talking. Do you want to see His Majesty?"

"No, His Majesty probably doesn't want to see anyone now." Queen Alyssa shook her head.

Then, she continued to look at the dark night outside the window, and murmured: "The old nobles are greedy, inconsiderate, and persecuted too much. For this reason, Your Majesty has to compromise with the new nobles... But this is not a good thing after all." , It’s just driving away wolves and tigers. I don’t think that Earl Safir is a character who is willing to be subdued. If this continues to be chaotic, I really don’t know what will happen in the future..."
