"impossible."
When Jamie revealed that Judian colluded with the rebels, Levine said almost firmly: "Lie! Judian can't do such a thing."
"Well, what if he has a reason?" Jamie asked again.
"Ha, reason? Is there any reason for a nobleman to collude with a group of untouchables?" Levin couldn't help but sneered and asked.
"You know what? I didn't believe it either." Jamie sighed.
Facing Levin's sharp and questioning eyes, he reorganized the language: "There may be some mistakes in my statement just now. It is indeed not very correct to say that collusion is true, but it can probably be used instead. In this case, you will Do you understand?"
"What? Are you playing me for a fool again?"
Levin was still not particularly convinced.
But exploitation always sounds more reasonable than collusion.
Therefore, his tone at this time was slightly softened, but it was inevitable that there was some sarcasm: "Then tell me, what can Lord Judian do, you need to use a group of untouchables?"
"It's a big deal."
"Say it, damn it, stop playing tricks in front of me!"
"Please don't get angry. There is a reason for my hesitation."
Jamie explained unhurriedly: "Actually, I'm still a little dubious about this matter, even... until now, my heart is still beating because of this matter, and I can't even breathe well. .”
Levine grew more anxious.
He kept urging: "So, don't talk nonsense, what is the big deal, tell me quickly!"
Jamie looked left and right on purpose, with a sneaky look. After making sure that there was no one around, he quickly walked over and whispered a short sentence in his ear: "Assassinate the king."
a bolt from the blue!
Levin was so startled that he almost jumped up, his face full of disbelief, and he blurted out another sentence: "Impossible..."
But Jamie didn't give him any time to continue thinking, and quickly added a few words in his ear: "Judian promised to fund the rebel army with 50 yuan, but the prerequisite is that the rebel army will help him assassinate His Majesty the King."
Levine was stunned by the news.
He didn't know what to say for a moment, he just kept repeating: "Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible, you are talking nonsense..."
"Calm down, calm down, Levine!"
Jamie patted him on the shoulder vigorously, with a solemn expression, he justified: "Use your brain and think about it, for no reason, why should I talk about such terrible things? Is it good for me?"
"But...but why? There's no reason, no reason at all."
Levin had a shocked and confused expression on his face: "Your Majesty has always treated Judian very well, although recently he has been a bit cold...but there is no reason. Lord Judian has no reason to do this at all. Are you lying again? !damn you……"
"If I say, he has a reason."
"...for what reason?"
Jamie's expression became serious: "Are you sure you want to listen? Maybe you don't want to know the reason."
Levin's mind was completely confused at this time. Hearing this, his eyes could not help but reveal a very dangerous light, and it was difficult to hide the urgent and angry look on his face: "It's this time! You still Do you want to sell it? Tell me quickly if you have any reason!"
Jamie replied immediately: "Your sister Donna."
"My sister Donna?" Levine repeated subconsciously.
Jamie was silent for another moment.
Then, he deliberately looked at Levin with a look of pity: "I'm sorry, Levin. But, I have to tell you one sad thing..."
Levine stared at him motionless.
Jamie said quickly and in a low voice: "Yes, your sister Donna... she didn't fall into the water and die as it was said. Rather... Rather, she was unwilling to be forced and bullied by the king, and she threw herself into the water. "
"Ah!" Levin exclaimed.
Then, he stared at Jamie for a long time, still a little bit in disbelief at first...
But Jamie looked at him with that sympathy all the time.
Then, he vaguely remembered that his elder sister Donna seemed to have had an affair with the king at one time, and he gradually had a little hesitation in his heart.
"what do you mean……"
Levin said with difficulty: "Master Judian actually paid the rebel army to assassinate His Majesty in order to avenge my sister?"
Jamie replied gently: "Maybe you don't believe it, but according to what I can investigate so far, this is indeed the case."
Levine still didn't believe it all: "But...will he do it to this extent? For my sister? Will Judian really do it?"
Jamie said hesitantly: "Actually, I don't think he would do this either, so I suspect..."
"What do you suspect?" Judian hurriedly asked.
"It is suspected that he has colluded with other people."
"Damn it, can you finish your sentence, what the hell does that mean?"
"Well, let me declare in advance that this is just a suspicion..."
"Say it."
"I suspect that Lord Judian has defected to Duke Henry."
"Impossible, Duke Henry..."
"Duke Henry has no ambitions, do you believe that?"
"But they never got along."
"That was before."
"...But he just sent me to monitor Duke Henry and Earl Saffir Sorensen not long ago."
"I do know a little bit about this. Besides Lord Judian, Duke Henry has been courting Earl Safir Sorensen. But so far, the two seem to have not reached an agreement. Lord Judian probably also wants to know about their relationship." progress, let you monitor them."
"But it's still not right... Since it's revenge for my sister, why didn't he tell me?"
"I don't know about that, but maybe, he's worried about you messing things up?"
"I screwed up?"
Levine asked in disbelief, "Am I going to screw things up?"
"Judian seems to think that you are not very good at doing things."
Jamie tried to use a pertinent tone, but reminded embarrassingly: "Well, before... don't forget about the prison. When he was negotiating with the rebels, he seemed to mention it, which probably means' If it wasn't for Levin's incompetence and carelessness, he would never let you get out of prison so easily', he probably misunderstood your ability to handle things because of that incident."
Levin couldn't help showing a look of anger on his face.
But compared to the matter of assassinating the king, he was not in the mood to pursue this matter, so the anger was fleeting, and he was still confused and at a loss.
"You have to make a choice quickly, Levin."
Jamie hypocritically and sincerely suggested: "You have a handle on me, we will definitely be tied to death. Therefore, I must first know where you plan to stand? So that I can unite with you. If you want to stand On the side of Lord Judian, from now on, we and the rebel army will be temporary allies; but if you want to stand on His Majesty's side, we have to find a way now to destroy Lord Judian's next conspiracy..."
However, facing such a difficult decision, Levin's mind was about to explode.
Jamie continued to maintain a sympathetic expression of "You are so pitiful, you are so miserable", waiting for his answer, and from time to time, he silently calculated the things to do in the near future, and decided to go out and ask Helen for a while Mrs. Na had afternoon tea.
After a while, Levin raised his head again.
He struggled and asked a question: "Who do you think... Your Majesty and Duke Henry... will win?"
Jamie couldn't help but startled, apparently not expecting to face this question.
Before that, he imagined Levin's answer, one is to avenge his sister and choose to follow Judian; the other is to choose the king out of loyalty to the king.
As a result, after eliminating all options, this person actually gave the best self-interested response—I want to be on the side of the winner.
If it weren't for the current scene being inappropriate, Jamie almost wanted to applaud him.
But now, he could only continue to answer blankly with a solemn face: "I don't know, Levin, I don't understand these things."
Although he was disappointed to meet Levin, but he thought he didn't understand the normal eyes...
Jamie added a few more words: "But no matter which side we go, I think you have to keep an eye on the development of things... By the way, Levin, do you have any people of your own? I mean, for you The confidants you dispatched? The rebel army trusts me very much now, so you can ignore it for the time being. But with Lord Judian and Duke Henry, you have to rely on yourself.”
Levin couldn't help thinking.
As for Jamie...
After leaving such cheating multiple-choice questions to Levin...
He left temporarily, and went to find Mrs. Helena according to the plan he had thought up before.
It's just that this time, instead of going to a hotel to find someone, I went to a theater.
After the initial completion of the script, Mrs. Helena couldn't wait to take the small theater troupe she belonged to. With the introduction of Earl Hudgins and the help of matchmaking, Mrs. Helena selected a theater and started rehearsals.
When Jamie passed by, Lord Hudgens was indeed watching their rehearsal under the stage.
Moreover, when he stood under the stage and looked up at Mrs. Helena who was playing Marianne on the stage, there was a look of nostalgia on his face, as if he was thinking of someone else through her.
Jamie sauntered over and stood beside him naturally.
Earl Hudgins sensed someone approaching him, and subconsciously glanced over, realizing that it was the adaptor of his own work.
Although everyone had differences in some points of view and failed to reach a consensus, the good-tempered Lord Earl still gave him a polite smile.
"Lady Helena looks quite appropriate, doesn't she?"
Jamie smiled back and scrambled to strike up a conversation.
"Yes, she is very suitable to play Marianne, although she and Marianne look... well, I mean, the Marianne in me, they don't look much alike." Earl Hudgens murmured.
"What do you mean? Why do you say it's suitable and not like it?" Jamie pretended to ask humbly.
"It's not like their appearance, but their temperament... They are all thoughtful, seemingly gentle, but actually strong." Earl Hudgens whispered.
"You are right, Mrs. Helena is indeed an admirable woman." Jamie echoed.
Then, he chatted unintentionally: "Speaking of which, when I was having dinner with my friend today, he also mentioned to me a very admirable woman, who is his sister...ah, I almost forgot. Said It is also a coincidence that this woman has something to do with you, Lord Earl."
"Oh? Who is it? I know him?"
Earl Hudgins turned his head curiously.
Jamie smiled shyly, and said tactfully, "My friend is Viscount Levin."
Earl Hudgens was startled, and then suddenly realized: "The woman you mentioned who is also worthy of admiration is...Donna?"
"It's Mrs. Donna."
Jamie made a look of admiration: "Forgive me for talking too much, I definitely didn't mean to offend. It's just that Viscount Levin happened to chat with me about their siblings' dependence on each other today, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart."
"Thinking about Mrs. Donna, it's not easy. Her parents died young, and she has to maintain the family business as a woman and raise her younger brother. Life is very difficult. Later, she finally married Lord Judian. The husband and wife are loving and the family is happy. But accidentally slipped and fell into the water..."
"Well, that's what Levine said?"
Earl Hudgens had a strange look on his face: "He misses Donna very much?"
"That's right, Levin has been fine on the surface, but he is actually very sad in his heart. He still can't believe that Mrs. Donna slipped into the water!"
"He...doesn't believe that Donna fell into the water by mistake?"
Earl Hudgins' expression became even weirder.
"That's right, he said that Mrs. Donna didn't know how to swim since she was a child, so she won't go to the lake to play in leisure."
"Well, yes, yes, Donna really can't swim."
Earl Hudgins muttered to himself.
"But what he said doesn't make sense. Sometimes, fate is so difficult to tease! Unexpected disasters and accidental mistakes, who would have thought of that?"
"...Yes, yes."
"That's the truth, but Levin is really at the edge of his head now. I said that the matter is over, and people still have to look forward, but he always felt that Mrs. Donna should not have fallen into the water, and wanted to find out the reason; Fu, there's no reason, he can't accept it, so he has to treat the accident as man-made. He didn't say anything, but I think he still doesn't want to accept the reality..."
"Huh? Is that so?"
Earl Hudgens couldn't help taking out a handkerchief and wiping his forehead, then hesitated for a moment before saying: "Yes, Louis. I have some things to deal with at home. Wait a minute. Mrs. Helena and the others are finished rehearsing. Help me." Tell them, I have to go first..."
"Huh? But they will finish rehearsing soon?"
Jamie pretended to be surprised and said, "Aren't you going to stay? After the rehearsal, everyone should still want to hear your opinion."
Earl Hudgins waved his hand carelessly, and said vaguely, "No, no, there is something urgent at home, something urgent..."
With that said, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Jamie watched his leaving back for a while.
Then, he turned his eyes back to the stage, and smiled and blew a kiss towards Mrs. Helena.
(two)
That evening, Duke Henry received a medical officer.
The medical officer was urgently invited by the servants. He ran out of breath, sweating profusely, and felt uneasy. He mistakenly thought that when he came to the Duke's mansion, he would see a dying Duke.
however……
Duke Henry was eating, with a ruddy complexion and a good appetite, and he didn't see anything unusual at all.
Moreover, when he saw the medical officer, he greeted leisurely: "Good evening, doctor."
"Uh...good evening, my lord, it's great to see you in such good health." The doctor replied sincerely.
But at the next moment, he remembered the purpose of his rushing here again, so he couldn't help but looked around for a while, and asked hesitantly: "Uh... since your health is fine, then, may I ask, the one who needs my attention?" ...Where is the patient who is said to be dying?"
"There are no patients, that's a lie to you."
Duke Henry spoke the truth frankly: "I have something else to look for you."
At this time, the servant who brought the doctor turned around and went out immediately with interest, and closed the door for them by the way.
So, only the Duke and the doctor were left in the house.
The doctor backed away uneasily to the door.
There was a forced smile on his face, and hesitantly asked: "I don't know, I wonder why the Sir is looking for me?"
"I want to know, how is the queen's pregnancy going?" Duke Henry asked straight to the point.
"Ah, pretty good."
The doctor's political consciousness is not very high, and he failed to understand the connotation of this problem.
He also thought that the duke was concerned about Mrs. Wang, so he foolishly said as much as possible: "Although the queen's body is a little weak, she has always had some minor problems since she was pregnant. But don't worry, my lord, the queen will take care of herself." There are people like us who are watching from the sidelines all the time, and the gods always protect the royal family. So, so far, the child has been safely in the mother's womb, and there is nothing wrong with it."
"But how can a weak mother raise a strong child?"
Duke Henry smiled coldly, stood up, and walked in front of the doctor, his expression became very serious: "Doctor, are you sure that the child will be born strong?"
What is this problem called?
The fetus is less than eight months old...
Who knows what the future holds?
The doctor was dumbfounded.
He had absolutely no idea how to answer the question.
Say yes, what if the child is not born strong?
If you are not sure, then what did you say just now?What's more, who would dare to easily say that the child conceived by the queen is not good?
The room fell silent.
Then, Duke Henry spoke again and asked another strange question: "Doctor, do you love this country?"
The doctor was even more confused: "Go back to Sir, of course I love this country."
Duke Henry continued to ask sternly: "So, doctor, are you loyal to the royal family?"
The doctor replied without hesitation: "Of course, I have always been loyal to the royal family."
Duke Henry immediately accused: "But now you want to let the royal family have a weak heir, and let this country have a weak monarch in the future!"
The doctor finally realized what was going on.
He stammered nervously: "This... this... this... but this is unknown... Who, who knows if the child will be strong in the future..."
Duke Henry pretended not to hear him.
He said righteously: "Listen to me, doctor. If you love this country and serve our royal family, then you have the responsibility to help me do one thing. A fragile body like the queen cannot breed strong babies." Yes, so..."
"My lord, please spare me!"
The doctor's hands trembled in panic: "I absolutely... must not do anything to murder the queen..."
"How could this be murder!"
Duke Henry said sternly: "I only hope that the country has a healthy monarch and the royal family has a healthy heir. Moreover, I don't need you to do dirty things, as long as you protect the queen in the normal way, and It's not perfunctory."
"I'm wronged, I'm wronged! How dare I deal with the queen..."
"Then why don't you use your special skills?"
"What? Where do I have any special skills!"
The doctor complained unspeakably.
"You have prescribed a patch to several ladies before..."
Duke Henry read out a few names casually: "These ladies all boast that your medicine is very effective."
The doctor froze.
He was like a cat that had been pinched by someone, and his whole body was stiff.
Just because, this moment!
He knew full well that he was caught.
Those handles, past mistakes!
The ladies mentioned by the Duke were indeed treated by him, but it was not as effective as the Duke said...
Quite the contrary!
At that time, he was still young and his medical skills were average. In order to pursue faster results and satisfy his own vanity, he administered several doses of strong medicine. In the end, some patients with strong bodies did recover quickly, but there were also several patients who died. He had a miscarriage due to overdosing.
Fortunately, the family background of these aborted patients is unknown.
He was eventually able to get paid to silence people.
This is an evil thing he did when he was young, and he regretted it very much!
It was also these experiences that made him be more cautious in everything later on, never dared to use drugs indiscriminately, and put safety first...
In this way, he won the appreciation of the king and gradually gained a firm foothold in the palace.
But now, the names of the people the duke read out were exactly the patients who had the accident.
The stain buried deep in my heart has been dug out!
The doctor couldn't help trembling: "My lord, this matter... this matter..."
"Why? Don't you want to? Maybe I should talk about your matter with His Majesty now?"
"Sir..."
"Okay, I didn't ask you to do bad things, I just asked you to help the queen keep the baby in the same way as before! I remember that there is nothing wrong with those prescriptions. Isn't it good for some people to eat them?"
"But, but, the queen is weak..."
Duke Henry couldn't bear the doctor's pitiful expression.
He took out a money bag from a side drawer, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Listen, doctor!"
"Here are eight hundred pounds, and if you agree, you can take them directly now;"
"But if you choose to refuse, then I must tell His Majesty the story about you and those ladies."
"you say……"
"If His Majesty knows about your past, if all the nobles in the royal city know about your past..."
"impossible."
When Jamie revealed that Judian colluded with the rebels, Levine said almost firmly: "Lie! Judian can't do such a thing."
"Well, what if he has a reason?" Jamie asked again.
"Ha, reason? Is there any reason for a nobleman to collude with a group of untouchables?" Levin couldn't help but sneered and asked.
"You know what? I didn't believe it either." Jamie sighed.
Facing Levin's sharp and questioning eyes, he reorganized the language: "There may be some mistakes in my statement just now. It is indeed not very correct to say that collusion is true, but it can probably be used instead. In this case, you will Do you understand?"
"What? Are you playing me for a fool again?"
Levin was still not particularly convinced.
But exploitation always sounds more reasonable than collusion.
Therefore, his tone at this time was slightly softened, but it was inevitable that there was some sarcasm: "Then tell me, what can Lord Judian do, you need to use a group of untouchables?"
"It's a big deal."
"Say it, damn it, stop playing tricks in front of me!"
"Please don't get angry. There is a reason for my hesitation."
Jamie explained unhurriedly: "Actually, I'm still a little dubious about this matter, even... until now, my heart is still beating because of this matter, and I can't even breathe well. .”
Levine grew more anxious.
He kept urging: "So, don't talk nonsense, what is the big deal, tell me quickly!"
Jamie looked left and right on purpose, with a sneaky look. After making sure that there was no one around, he quickly walked over and whispered a short sentence in his ear: "Assassinate the king."
a bolt from the blue!
Levin was so startled that he almost jumped up, his face full of disbelief, and he blurted out another sentence: "Impossible..."
But Jamie didn't give him any time to continue thinking, and quickly added a few words in his ear: "Judian promised to fund the rebel army with 50 yuan, but the prerequisite is that the rebel army will help him assassinate His Majesty the King."
Levine was stunned by the news.
He didn't know what to say for a moment, he just kept repeating: "Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible, you are talking nonsense..."
"Calm down, calm down, Levine!"
Jamie patted him on the shoulder vigorously, with a solemn expression, he justified: "Use your brain and think about it, for no reason, why should I talk about such terrible things? Is it good for me?"
"But...but why? There's no reason, no reason at all."
Levin had a shocked and confused expression on his face: "Your Majesty has always treated Judian very well, although recently he has been a bit cold...but there is no reason. Lord Judian has no reason to do this at all. Are you lying again? !damn you……"
"If I say, he has a reason."
"...for what reason?"
Jamie's expression became serious: "Are you sure you want to listen? Maybe you don't want to know the reason."
Levin's mind was completely confused at this time. Hearing this, his eyes could not help but reveal a very dangerous light, and it was difficult to hide the urgent and angry look on his face: "It's this time! You still Do you want to sell it? Tell me quickly if you have any reason!"
Jamie replied immediately: "Your sister Donna."
"My sister Donna?" Levine repeated subconsciously.
Jamie was silent for another moment.
Then, he deliberately looked at Levin with a look of pity: "I'm sorry, Levin. But, I have to tell you one sad thing..."
Levine stared at him motionless.
Jamie said quickly and in a low voice: "Yes, your sister Donna... she didn't fall into the water and die as it was said. Rather... Rather, she was unwilling to be forced and bullied by the king, and she threw herself into the water. "
"Ah!" Levin exclaimed.
Then, he stared at Jamie for a long time, still a little bit in disbelief at first...
But Jamie looked at him with that sympathy all the time.
Then, he vaguely remembered that his elder sister Donna seemed to have had an affair with the king at one time, and he gradually had a little hesitation in his heart.
"what do you mean……"
Levin said with difficulty: "Master Judian actually paid the rebel army to assassinate His Majesty in order to avenge my sister?"
Jamie replied gently: "Maybe you don't believe it, but according to what I can investigate so far, this is indeed the case."
Levine still didn't believe it all: "But...will he do it to this extent? For my sister? Will Judian really do it?"
Jamie said hesitantly: "Actually, I don't think he would do this either, so I suspect..."
"What do you suspect?" Judian hurriedly asked.
"It is suspected that he has colluded with other people."
"Damn it, can you finish your sentence, what the hell does that mean?"
"Well, let me declare in advance that this is just a suspicion..."
"Say it."
"I suspect that Lord Judian has defected to Duke Henry."
"Impossible, Duke Henry..."
"Duke Henry has no ambitions, do you believe that?"
"But they never got along."
"That was before."
"...But he just sent me to monitor Duke Henry and Earl Saffir Sorensen not long ago."
"I do know a little bit about this. Besides Lord Judian, Duke Henry has been courting Earl Safir Sorensen. But so far, the two seem to have not reached an agreement. Lord Judian probably also wants to know about their relationship." progress, let you monitor them."
"But it's still not right... Since it's revenge for my sister, why didn't he tell me?"
"I don't know about that, but maybe, he's worried about you messing things up?"
"I screwed up?"
Levine asked in disbelief, "Am I going to screw things up?"
"Judian seems to think that you are not very good at doing things."
Jamie tried to use a pertinent tone, but reminded embarrassingly: "Well, before... don't forget about the prison. When he was negotiating with the rebels, he seemed to mention it, which probably means' If it wasn't for Levin's incompetence and carelessness, he would never let you get out of prison so easily', he probably misunderstood your ability to handle things because of that incident."
Levin couldn't help showing a look of anger on his face.
But compared to the matter of assassinating the king, he was not in the mood to pursue this matter, so the anger was fleeting, and he was still confused and at a loss.
"You have to make a choice quickly, Levin."
Jamie hypocritically and sincerely suggested: "You have a handle on me, we will definitely be tied to death. Therefore, I must first know where you plan to stand? So that I can unite with you. If you want to stand On the side of Lord Judian, from now on, we and the rebel army will be temporary allies; but if you want to stand on His Majesty's side, we have to find a way now to destroy Lord Judian's next conspiracy..."
However, facing such a difficult decision, Levin's mind was about to explode.
Jamie continued to maintain a sympathetic expression of "You are so pitiful, you are so miserable", waiting for his answer, and from time to time, he silently calculated the things to do in the near future, and decided to go out and ask Helen for a while Mrs. Na had afternoon tea.
After a while, Levin raised his head again.
He struggled and asked a question: "Who do you think... Your Majesty and Duke Henry... will win?"
Jamie couldn't help but startled, apparently not expecting to face this question.
Before that, he imagined Levin's answer, one is to avenge his sister and choose to follow Judian; the other is to choose the king out of loyalty to the king.
As a result, after eliminating all options, this person actually gave the best self-interested response—I want to be on the side of the winner.
If it weren't for the current scene being inappropriate, Jamie almost wanted to applaud him.
But now, he could only continue to answer blankly with a solemn face: "I don't know, Levin, I don't understand these things."
Although he was disappointed to meet Levin, but he thought he didn't understand the normal eyes...
Jamie added a few more words: "But no matter which side we go, I think you have to keep an eye on the development of things... By the way, Levin, do you have any people of your own? I mean, for you The confidants you dispatched? The rebel army trusts me very much now, so you can ignore it for the time being. But with Lord Judian and Duke Henry, you have to rely on yourself.”
Levin couldn't help thinking.
As for Jamie...
After leaving such cheating multiple-choice questions to Levin...
He left temporarily, and went to find Mrs. Helena according to the plan he had thought up before.
It's just that this time, instead of going to a hotel to find someone, I went to a theater.
After the initial completion of the script, Mrs. Helena couldn't wait to take the small theater troupe she belonged to. With the introduction of Earl Hudgins and the help of matchmaking, Mrs. Helena selected a theater and started rehearsals.
When Jamie passed by, Lord Hudgens was indeed watching their rehearsal under the stage.
Moreover, when he stood under the stage and looked up at Mrs. Helena who was playing Marianne on the stage, there was a look of nostalgia on his face, as if he was thinking of someone else through her.
Jamie sauntered over and stood beside him naturally.
Earl Hudgins sensed someone approaching him, and subconsciously glanced over, realizing that it was the adaptor of his own work.
Although everyone had differences in some points of view and failed to reach a consensus, the good-tempered Lord Earl still gave him a polite smile.
"Lady Helena looks quite appropriate, doesn't she?"
Jamie smiled back and scrambled to strike up a conversation.
"Yes, she is very suitable to play Marianne, although she and Marianne look... well, I mean, the Marianne in me, they don't look much alike." Earl Hudgens murmured.
"What do you mean? Why do you say it's suitable and not like it?" Jamie pretended to ask humbly.
"It's not like their appearance, but their temperament... They are all thoughtful, seemingly gentle, but actually strong." Earl Hudgens whispered.
"You are right, Mrs. Helena is indeed an admirable woman." Jamie echoed.
Then, he chatted unintentionally: "Speaking of which, when I was having dinner with my friend today, he also mentioned to me a very admirable woman, who is his sister...ah, I almost forgot. Said It is also a coincidence that this woman has something to do with you, Lord Earl."
"Oh? Who is it? I know him?"
Earl Hudgins turned his head curiously.
Jamie smiled shyly, and said tactfully, "My friend is Viscount Levin."
Earl Hudgens was startled, and then suddenly realized: "The woman you mentioned who is also worthy of admiration is...Donna?"
"It's Mrs. Donna."
Jamie made a look of admiration: "Forgive me for talking too much, I definitely didn't mean to offend. It's just that Viscount Levin happened to chat with me about their siblings' dependence on each other today, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart."
"Thinking about Mrs. Donna, it's not easy. Her parents died young, and she has to maintain the family business as a woman and raise her younger brother. Life is very difficult. Later, she finally married Lord Judian. The husband and wife are loving and the family is happy. But accidentally slipped and fell into the water..."
"Well, that's what Levine said?"
Earl Hudgens had a strange look on his face: "He misses Donna very much?"
"That's right, Levin has been fine on the surface, but he is actually very sad in his heart. He still can't believe that Mrs. Donna slipped into the water!"
"He...doesn't believe that Donna fell into the water by mistake?"
Earl Hudgins' expression became even weirder.
"That's right, he said that Mrs. Donna didn't know how to swim since she was a child, so she won't go to the lake to play in leisure."
"Well, yes, yes, Donna really can't swim."
Earl Hudgins muttered to himself.
"But what he said doesn't make sense. Sometimes, fate is so difficult to tease! Unexpected disasters and accidental mistakes, who would have thought of that?"
"...Yes, yes."
"That's the truth, but Levin is really at the edge of his head now. I said that the matter is over, and people still have to look forward, but he always felt that Mrs. Donna should not have fallen into the water, and wanted to find out the reason; Fu, there's no reason, he can't accept it, so he has to treat the accident as man-made. He didn't say anything, but I think he still doesn't want to accept the reality..."
"Huh? Is that so?"
Earl Hudgens couldn't help taking out a handkerchief and wiping his forehead, then hesitated for a moment before saying: "Yes, Louis. I have some things to deal with at home. Wait a minute. Mrs. Helena and the others are finished rehearsing. Help me." Tell them, I have to go first..."
"Huh? But they will finish rehearsing soon?"
Jamie pretended to be surprised and said, "Aren't you going to stay? After the rehearsal, everyone should still want to hear your opinion."
Earl Hudgins waved his hand carelessly, and said vaguely, "No, no, there is something urgent at home, something urgent..."
With that said, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Jamie watched his leaving back for a while.
Then, he turned his eyes back to the stage, and smiled and blew a kiss towards Mrs. Helena.
(two)
That evening, Duke Henry received a medical officer.
The medical officer was urgently invited by the servants. He ran out of breath, sweating profusely, and felt uneasy. He mistakenly thought that when he came to the Duke's mansion, he would see a dying Duke.
however……
Duke Henry was eating, with a ruddy complexion and a good appetite, and he didn't see anything unusual at all.
Moreover, when he saw the medical officer, he greeted leisurely: "Good evening, doctor."
"Uh...good evening, my lord, it's great to see you in such good health." The doctor replied sincerely.
But at the next moment, he remembered the purpose of his rushing here again, so he couldn't help but looked around for a while, and asked hesitantly: "Uh... since your health is fine, then, may I ask, the one who needs my attention?" ...Where is the patient who is said to be dying?"
"There are no patients, that's a lie to you."
Duke Henry spoke the truth frankly: "I have something else to look for you."
At this time, the servant who brought the doctor turned around and went out immediately with interest, and closed the door for them by the way.
So, only the Duke and the doctor were left in the house.
The doctor backed away uneasily to the door.
There was a forced smile on his face, and hesitantly asked: "I don't know, I wonder why the Sir is looking for me?"
"I want to know, how is the queen's pregnancy going?" Duke Henry asked straight to the point.
"Ah, pretty good."
The doctor's political consciousness is not very high, and he failed to understand the connotation of this problem.
He also thought that the duke was concerned about Mrs. Wang, so he foolishly said as much as possible: "Although the queen's body is a little weak, she has always had some minor problems since she was pregnant. But don't worry, my lord, the queen will take care of herself." There are people like us who are watching from the sidelines all the time, and the gods always protect the royal family. So, so far, the child has been safely in the mother's womb, and there is nothing wrong with it."
"But how can a weak mother raise a strong child?"
Duke Henry smiled coldly, stood up, and walked in front of the doctor, his expression became very serious: "Doctor, are you sure that the child will be born strong?"
What is this problem called?
The fetus is less than eight months old...
Who knows what the future holds?
The doctor was dumbfounded.
He had absolutely no idea how to answer the question.
Say yes, what if the child is not born strong?
If you are not sure, then what did you say just now?What's more, who would dare to easily say that the child conceived by the queen is not good?
The room fell silent.
Then, Duke Henry spoke again and asked another strange question: "Doctor, do you love this country?"
The doctor was even more confused: "Go back to Sir, of course I love this country."
Duke Henry continued to ask sternly: "So, doctor, are you loyal to the royal family?"
The doctor replied without hesitation: "Of course, I have always been loyal to the royal family."
Duke Henry immediately accused: "But now you want to let the royal family have a weak heir, and let this country have a weak monarch in the future!"
The doctor finally realized what was going on.
He stammered nervously: "This... this... this... but this is unknown... Who, who knows if the child will be strong in the future..."
Duke Henry pretended not to hear him.
He said righteously: "Listen to me, doctor. If you love this country and serve our royal family, then you have the responsibility to help me do one thing. A fragile body like the queen cannot breed strong babies." Yes, so..."
"My lord, please spare me!"
The doctor's hands trembled in panic: "I absolutely... must not do anything to murder the queen..."
"How could this be murder!"
Duke Henry said sternly: "I only hope that the country has a healthy monarch and the royal family has a healthy heir. Moreover, I don't need you to do dirty things, as long as you protect the queen in the normal way, and It's not perfunctory."
"I'm wronged, I'm wronged! How dare I deal with the queen..."
"Then why don't you use your special skills?"
"What? Where do I have any special skills!"
The doctor complained unspeakably.
"You have prescribed a patch to several ladies before..."
Duke Henry read out a few names casually: "These ladies all boast that your medicine is very effective."
The doctor froze.
He was like a cat that had been pinched by someone, and his whole body was stiff.
Just because, this moment!
He knew full well that he was caught.
Those handles, past mistakes!
The ladies mentioned by the Duke were indeed treated by him, but it was not as effective as the Duke said...
Quite the contrary!
At that time, he was still young and his medical skills were average. In order to pursue faster results and satisfy his own vanity, he administered several doses of strong medicine. In the end, some patients with strong bodies did recover quickly, but there were also several patients who died. He had a miscarriage due to overdosing.
Fortunately, the family background of these aborted patients is unknown.
He was eventually able to get paid to silence people.
This is an evil thing he did when he was young, and he regretted it very much!
It was also these experiences that made him be more cautious in everything later on, never dared to use drugs indiscriminately, and put safety first...
In this way, he won the appreciation of the king and gradually gained a firm foothold in the palace.
But now, the names of the people the duke read out were exactly the patients who had the accident.
The stain buried deep in my heart has been dug out!
The doctor couldn't help trembling: "My lord, this matter... this matter..."
"Why? Don't you want to? Maybe I should talk about your matter with His Majesty now?"
"Sir..."
"Okay, I didn't ask you to do bad things, I just asked you to help the queen keep the baby in the same way as before! I remember that there is nothing wrong with those prescriptions. Isn't it good for some people to eat them?"
"But, but, the queen is weak..."
Duke Henry couldn't bear the doctor's pitiful expression.
He took out a money bag from a side drawer, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Listen, doctor!"
"Here are eight hundred pounds, and if you agree, you can take them directly now;"
"But if you choose to refuse, then I must tell His Majesty the story about you and those ladies."
"you say……"
"If His Majesty knows about your past, if all the nobles in the royal city know about your past..."
