(One)

Whatever Jamie had planned, it wasn't going to be needed for now.

Because the next day, he fell ill.

In fact, the disease was long overdue.

Ever since he was imprisoned, he has not lived a stable life.

Worrying and frightening all day long, not eating well, not sleeping well.

You have to rack your brains and fight wits and courage with all kinds of people non-stop.

Even until the final victory escape, it was a whole night of desperate running.

Although he escaped successfully, he did not get any reasonable rest afterwards, nor did he receive any nutritional supplements...

It is really a miracle that he can survive until now without incident!

However, he can only last so far.

Xu Shi finally arrived at a relatively safe place, and the tension in his heart was slightly loosened, and he fell down.

Fortunately, Mrs. Helena missed him, seeing that he hadn't shown up for a day, she came to pay a special visit, and found out about this situation in time.

It's just that it's no wonder that he was ill for so long without being discovered.

Jamie was very quiet.

He was a little confused because of his illness, his mind was confused, and he couldn't tell whether he was completely safe, so even when he was sick, he was worried and didn't dare to speak out.

Although it was uncomfortable, he restrained himself with extreme restraint and did not make a sound. He just curled up and lay motionless on the bed.

So much so that, apart from that red, hot face and slightly rapid breathing, it is almost impossible to tell that this is a living person.

Lady Helena was taken aback.

She suddenly felt a burst of fear, because she recalled her youngest son who died of illness many years ago...it was so quiet.

Knowing that she was tired, afraid that she would be worried, and afraid of disturbing her rest, the child even coughed as quietly as possible.

So, in the end, she, a stupid mother, didn't even know when that caring child left without a sound?

Thinking of this, Madam Helena's eyes filled with tears.

She seemed to have returned to the almost nightmare past, so she rushed forward desperately and checked anxiously, until she found that the person was alive, and she was relieved.

Then, it is some dedicated care.

Although the lady knew in her heart that the age of the gentleman in front of her was far from the age of her own son.

But maybe it was his self-reported poor life experience without father and mother, or maybe it was his fragile posture in the current illness, which was really like the child back then, which made her mother's love buried deep in her heart for many years, They were all inspired.

Doctors come and go.

Mrs. Helena bought all the medicines with her own money, found a pot in the kitchen, and carefully boiled the antipyretic medicinal soup.

Then, she sat on the edge of the bed, stared at him, and recalled tenderly and sadly: "If... my child grows up, will he be as handsome as you?"

After Jamie's fever gradually subsided and the pain went away again...

Mrs. Helena, who had been watching him get better a little bit, seemed to be redeemed from it.

"At least save one."

She thought so sadly and relievedly.

And during Jamie's illness...

The nobles in the palace did not stop for a moment, and many strange things happened again.

Mrs Laureys at first

Although she was reprimanded by Chancellor Dressel not long ago.

But as the king's most beloved mistress in recent times, she doesn't take her seriously, and she thinks she has enough confidence to ignore it.

So, the weekend party under the title of "appreciating sapphires" was still held as usual.

Moreover, it was held in a grand manner!

Mrs Laureys put on a new dress.

The design of the skirt is very complicated, with layered skirts that almost drag the floor, sleeves that reach to the elbows, a shape that highlights the bust and thin waist, and various gorgeous patterns, lace and sequins inlaid on it, Just a little touch may affect the overall effect of the skirt, so four servants are required to help put it on and take it off.

After finally putting it on with difficulty.

The maker of the skirt, a palace seamstress, came forward, then carefully looked at the front, back, left, and right sides, and then made changes on the spot to make the skirt fit the lady's figure better.

After being so busy until the end, it has been completely perfect...

Only then did the seamstress look at the pleats that seemed to be disordered, but in fact each one was carefully arranged, but they might not last for a long time, and thought, "Well, it should be no problem to keep today all day long." Yes. But tomorrow...hey, it doesn’t matter, just wearing it once is enough, let’s get new ones tomorrow.”

Then, there are all kinds of jewelry.

Naturally, the sapphire bestowed by the king must be solemnly worn on the chest. In addition, there are also pearl bracelets and brooches studded with diamonds.

Because it took so much painstaking effort and energy.

As soon as this lady appeared on the stage, she dominated the show.

In addition, the party scene was also arranged extravagantly.

At a time when many were so poor that they could not even afford a piece of clothing, all the railings of this meeting place were wrapped in red velvet.

Then, countless freshly picked flowers were hurriedly transported, fully filling six carriages.

The servants came forward one after another and carefully moved down the flowers to decorate the party hall, making the whole hall full of orchids like a sea and roses like a tide.

This is a very generous consumption.

In this day and age, only rich people would buy flowers, because poor people would never consider buying anything that could not be eaten.

However, these expensive flowers have penetrated the hard work of the florists' family.

Its use time is only the time of a party, and when the party is over, it has to be thrown away.

Therefore, compared with this, other delicacies and fine wines can only be regarded as common necessities.

To attend such a party.

The costumes of the guests are naturally not simple, and they are also extremely luxurious.

Because of the conflict with Dressel, the former chancellor of the exchequer.

The vengeful Mrs. Lauris thought in private: "Old man! The more you dislike something, the more I will do something."

Therefore, in addition to engaging in extravagant ostentation.

In order to let the guests have more fun...

The lady is in league with Judian, who has recently been courting her.

Under Judian's instigation, they found a group of low-status girls, and then asked them to find a way to pretend to accidentally let their inner clothes fall off when performing dances.

These low-status girls did not agree at first, and felt ashamed.

But when Judian offered a high price of two or three hundred pounds, the shame was slightly relieved.

So, this party developed to the later...

Very indescribable!

If it's just that, it's nothing.

The world has always been contradictory.

Aristocrats pretend to be on the outside, and often behave extremely conservative;

But in private, when they messed around, they were all slutty.

We all know that.

As long as everything is not on the bright side, nothing will happen.

But there was a group of dudes who also participated in this party.

They have titles on their bodies, and they have money in their families. They don't usually get involved in state affairs, and they only care about having fun and indulging in life every day.

Therefore, although they will look at the king's face and flatter Mrs. Lauris, they will not save her much face, nor will they go out of their way to help her maintain her good reputation.

So, the party ends the next day.

All the details of this party were spread throughout the royal city by them.

The most exasperating thing is that this group of dudes obviously had more fun than anyone else at the party.

But when it came time to spread rumors, he had to pretend to be more serious than anyone else: "Alas! Alas! When I think of those girls naked, my face turns red and my hands feel flustered. I wish I could tear off the sleeves of my clothes and wipe my face. ...No, cover your eyes so that you can no longer see such an out-of-the-ordinary scene."

The upright Lord Dressel couldn't bear it when he heard about this.

He ran to the king and demanded severe punishment for such immoral behavior, and also advocated that Mrs. Lauris should be dispatched directly to other provinces, and she should not stay in the royal city anyway.

King Richard was very upset.

He didn't want to irritate the Minister of Finance, after all, he had to rely a lot on this loyal veteran for some matters in the court.But I don't want to marry my favorite mistress just because of such a little bullshit.

In the end, he had no choice but to avoid the seriousness and make peace with the light: "Well, I don't blame Mrs. Laureys, she can understand nothing as a woman, but she is just fooling around...Okay, let me talk about her later, let She changed it. As for severely punishing immoral behavior... If you want to take care of it, then go do it. Just pay attention to the impact, just like that group of dancing girls who don't know how to love themselves, so they really should be taken care of!"

Dressel had no choice but to resign.

He knew in his heart that with His Majesty's protection, he had no choice but to take that slut Mrs. Laurels for the time being.

But there is another person involved in this party - Judian, who is falling out of favor with the king.

But he didn't want to let it go!

So, this Lord Dressel used the title of "The King's Consent".

In fact, it is the sentence "If you want to take care of it, then go and take care of it."

He found someone to form a new department.

The name of this new department is - Immorality Suppression Committee.

Then, the first ban operation.

He captured a beautiful woman who was selected by Judian with great difficulty.

The charge was performing an immoral performance.

In fact, it should be a few sex dances.

This beauty is what Judian plans to hold up in the near future.

First, let her play the role of Marianne and show her face on the stage, then take her to some receptions, get to know more people, and try to quickly make some famous names in the royal city, and finally, find a suitable time, cleverly Introduced to the king.

But now...

In his despair, he ran to Mrs. Laurels for help.

Of course, he didn't say that the woman was to be introduced to the king.

All that was said was that the woman was going to act in Lord Hudgins' play.

Zhu Dian told the truth as it was, and sighed all the way: "Oh, the performance is coming soon, but the leading actor was arrested. My father is getting old, and he almost died of anxiety..."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lauris pretended to be stupid: "Oh, Mr. Earl Hudgens must take care of himself."

Zhu Dian had no choice but to continue to say: "My father is fine at the moment, only worrying about the performance day and night, so I want to ask my wife for help."

Mrs. Lauris covered her mouth with her fan again, and put on a coquettish look of helplessness: "But... Judian, although I really want to help you... But I don't care about the outside affairs of men. Got it."

Judian was already annoyed at this time.

His expression was a little stiff, but he still flattered her, saying that His Majesty valued her, and begged her to make a deal with His Majesty, and asked Dressel to let her go first, and let her be arrested after the play.

As a result, he didn't wait for him to finish speaking.

Mrs. Laureys put her head in her hands in affected gestures, and complained of a headache.

A group of attendants rushed over and took care of her in a grand manner, giving her a massage, pouring water for her, yelling to get a doctor quickly, and saying to get some sniffing bottles first...

Judian was left alone and ignored.

In the end, he had to leave in embarrassment.

But as soon as he leaves...

Mrs Laureys's headache went away without medicine.

"Oh, look at me stupid!"

The lady shook her fan and sneered, "You want to send a woman to His Majesty, but you dare to ask me here, bah!"

At the same time, Judian was sitting in the carriage, and was also angrily cursing: "This bitch who killed a thousand knives!"

He gritted his teeth and thought: "I have received so many benefits and gifts from me on weekdays, but I am too busy to reach out. Just wait, sooner or later His Majesty will despise you!"

(two)

However, when everyone is trying their best to win the favor of the king...

The king's legal wife, the woman he should love the most-Queen Alisa is busy with charity.

Since Donna's death, the relationship between the king and queen has miraculously eased.

Before that, the two of them had no connection and were unfamiliar;

But after that, because they grieved and shed tears for the same person, there seemed to be such a subtle connection.

King Richard still doesn't like the queen very much.

Because the other party is not the type he likes, whether it is appearance or behavior.

So, after the Queen's body recovered...

Although he had already fulfilled the request of the courtiers, for the sake of his future heir, he consummated the marriage with her somewhat perfunctorily.

But most of the time, he still prefers to have fun with other women.

As for Queen Alyssa.

She gradually lost her emotional expectations for the king, and turned her attention to other things.

In the beginning, it was just taking care of the chores of the court.

Since she was not valued by the king, it took a lot of effort to deal with these trivial matters.

Later, the king left her to do charity.

Only then did she have something to do seriously.

Therefore, the errand was definitely won.

She spends her days thinking about workhouses, orphanages and so on.

Although the king meant that she was actually just asking her to represent the royal family and pretend to be.

But Alisa was very serious, and planned to go out in person to inspect the specific situation of Wangcheng Workhouse.

But who knows...

This day, she got up early in the morning to eat, and she vomited after taking a bite.

Maggie, the lady-in-waiting, was anxious at first.

When I thought of a possibility, I became excited again.

As a result, the medical officer of the court was hurriedly called in.

A few minutes later, the good news of the queen's pregnancy spread.

Coincidentally, King Richard was with Lady Laureys when he heard the happy news.

Mrs. Lauris was shocked, and blurted out: "How is that possible!"

A look of displeasure flitted across Richard's face.

But he still smiled and asked, "Why, dear, aren't you happy for me?"

Mrs. Laureys turned her head, her eyes filled with tears: "Should I be happy?"

She raised her voice slightly and shouted: "I thought you loved me and didn't love her. But now, you want her to raise your child. What about me? Where did you put me again? "

The smile on King Richard's face disappeared.

Suddenly, he was no longer the gentle lover of the woman in front of him, but turned back to the uncompromising ruthless king: "I thought you knew it. The woman you speak of is my queen."

After speaking, he turned and left without hesitation.

Mrs. Laureys was behind him, weeping and heartbroken, she raised a hand to pick up a vase on the table, and smashed it to the ground!

Meanwhile, Jamie finally recovered.

This illness made him extremely emotionally vulnerable, and he had some doubts about the matter of "relying solely on himself and gaining a foothold in the royal city".

Moreover, he was still thinking in his heart: "I want to live a peaceful life, but if I don't dare to try anything, just because I am afraid of revealing my identity, I just hide and live alone, then I have spent a lot of time before. What were you doing for the rest of the day?"

As for returning to the countryside...

He didn't want to be thrown into prison for any crime.

Moreover, because Mrs. Helena didn't know the inside story, she said a lot of words to persuade him to find his relatives: "It's good to see him for a while, maybe there is some misunderstanding. If no one recognizes you, you can come back, and you don't have to. Loss or something. Anyway, in my opinion, no mother can really have the heart not to want her child..."

Jamie thought about it and decided to investigate.

As for what to do next, it still depends on the situation.

According to the title of 'Mrs. Dressel' written on the letter.

He went out first to inquire about the surname 'Dreisel'.

As a result, unexpectedly, the inquiry process went very smoothly.

It's just because Mr. Dressel is currently the man of the hour in Wangcheng.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who is somewhat staid, has a good heart.

But unfortunately, his thinking was rigid, and he always didn't know where to exert his strength.

Mrs. Laureys made the party a mess and extravagant.

He disapproved from the bottom of his heart, thinking that such behavior was very wrong and should be condemned, but he didn't know how to deal with it so that it would be more beneficial to the people.

In the end, after spending a lot of thought, they came up with an inexplicable ban on immoral behavior.

In terms of ideological realm, I want to clean up the current unhealthy social atmosphere; in terms of behavior, I want to clean up pornography everywhere!

What's even more speechless is that the nobles were only fined if they were caught, and the prostitutes were caught but would be imprisoned.

The former is okay, but it is a loss of money; the latter is very likely to be 'one person is arrested, and the whole family starves'.

After doing this, there were complaints from all over Wangcheng.

No one ever said he was fine.

Everyone made plans for him in private: saying that he is old and frail, and gradually unable to do things in bed, so he has a psychopath and started to envy those capable people, which is why he has caused so many troubles.

After listening to Jamie, he hardly knew what expression to make.

But fortunately, despite such a ridiculous incident, it seriously damaged the old man's reputation.

But if he inquired more carefully, he could learn that he had a very upright reputation before he did the anti-pornography campaign.

It is said that he has persuaded the king many times in the court to focus on political affairs and consider the people.

As for his wife...

Can't hear any news for the time being.

But it's not surprising.

Because it can be seen from Dressel's behavioral style: to be his wife, she must be very disciplined, never show her face casually, and act low-key, so naturally there will be no reputation.

Jamie was a little puzzled: "Look at it this way... It doesn't look like this couple has an illegitimate child?"

I can't figure it out after much deliberation.

He simply tentatively sent a letter.

In the letter, he did not directly explain the matter, but excused that he encountered difficulties before and was lucky to get some kind help from the other party.Now that I am fortunate enough to come to Wangcheng, I want to thank you in person. I wonder if I can give you a chance to meet?

Finally, the signature is Louis Beckett.

In this way, even if you find the wrong person, or there is something hidden in the middle.

He can also take the opportunity to shirk one or two.

After sending the letter...

Jamie thought it might take a few days for an answer.

Unexpectedly, it was only the second day.

The Mrs. Dressel sent someone to contact him and asked him to meet at a hotel.

Jamie was stunned: "Could it be that Louis is really the illegitimate son of the Chancellor's wife?"

However, considering that the meeting place was a restaurant, he should not be silenced so easily, so he decided to go to the appointment on time.

When the appointed time came, as soon as he entered the restaurant, he was ushered into a box upstairs.

Pushing open the door, I saw a lady, frowning, sitting inside in a daze.

It was a very elegant lady.

Judging from her conservative dress and upright sitting posture, it is obvious that she is the type who pays attention to external performance on weekdays.

It can only be said that she deserves to be the wife of Mrs. Dressel who is dedicated to anti-pornography.

Jamie walked in while thinking wildly.

Coincidentally, the lady raised her head when she heard the door opening.

Eye to eye!

Both were a little embarrassed.

After a long time, Mrs. Dressel was the first to speak, and sighed softly: "You have grown so big."

While recalling Louis's expression, Jamie pretended to be embarrassed: "Hi, ma'am. Actually, I don't know if I should come to you..."

Just as he was thinking about his words, he wanted to express his meaning of "not intending to cause trouble for the other party, but just asking for a little help so that he can live a stable life in Wangcheng from now on"...

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, saying that it was to deliver tea.

Jamie stopped talking and went to open the door.

A waiter came in with teapots, tea bowls, and towels.

The two people in the box were silent at the same time, waiting for the waiter to put the things away before continuing to talk.

However, what they didn't notice was that...

Not far outside the box.

Judian is staring here with a pair of thief eyes shining!

In fact, when Mrs. Dressel suddenly drove out in her carriage, the villain followed her.

Because the beauty was captured by Master Dressel before.

He has been keeping a close eye on Dressel's house recently, planning to find out the other party's fault, so that he can use it as an excuse to threaten him.

Who knows, stare here and there!

Instead of finding the man's fault, he found the woman's fault.

Now, looking at a man and a woman in the box, Judian was so excited that she almost wanted to jump up: "Look, look what I caught!"

"Immoral conduct banning meeting? Haha, what a joke! Check your wife first if you have a copy!"

He gloated and thought: "Hey! Maybe those rumors outside are true, this old bastard is probably too soft to put on the bed..."

"So, his wife was so lonely that she couldn't bear it, so she came out to look for the little boy."

"Hahaha, this is wonderful! It's really wonderful!"
