(One)

Although the unexpected downfall of Duke Henry was not expected by Jamie, but since Levin has quickly made the choice of 'loyalty to the king'...

He simply followed the trend and took some more. "Since you have decided to be loyal to the king, you might as well do more to find out the situation and grasp the development of the situation. After all, if you are lucky enough to be able to catch up with the rescue once, the credit will be great." It's too big, and any title and official position can be easily obtained." Such words are used to fool.

Levine was not entirely convinced.

But after much deliberation, he couldn't think of any flaws.

Besides, Jamie didn't use this to ask him to do anything embarrassing. The few suggestions he gave didn't seem to be very difficult, and they didn't do any harm to him. No evidence of Judian's previous mistakes, etc. Sounds like a serious thing.

Without knowing that Judian has become suspicious and wary of him...

Levin, who was foolish and thought he was the opponent's confidant and had an in-law relationship, thought that these things were not difficult to do.

So, he agreed without hesitation.

Things are going so smoothly, Jamie's mood is even more cheerful.

At the same time, King Richard had another dispute with Lady Laureys.

Because of the miscarriage of the queen and the revelation of Duke Henry's conspiracy, His Majesty the King could not help but feel gloomy.

In order to relieve his depression, he chose to come to his mistress to relax.

On the other side, Mrs. Lauris was overjoyed to hear that His Majesty was visiting.

She first checked to see if her hair was in order, then looked in the mirror to see if her lipstick was evenly applied, then hurriedly took a bottle of perfume and sprayed it on herself, then took a fan and trotted out the door, But when he reached the stairs, he deliberately slowed down and walked down step by step in a pretentious manner, showing off his beauty very deliberately.

King Richard raised his head when he heard the sound, and laughed when he saw this, and then admired the beauty openly, his scorching eyes slowly moved from her face to her plump breasts, to the slender, and The swaying waist, and the buttocks and legs hidden in the hem of the skirt, which can only be imagined... As he thought about it, a cluster of lust ignited in his eyes involuntarily.

By the time the king regained his composure, the two of them were already lying on the bed again.

Mrs. Lauris turned over, rested her head on his shoulder intimately, and said in a very gentle tone: "Your Majesty, I encountered a ridiculous thing yesterday."

King Richard had just relieved his desire, and his interest in Mrs. Laureys weakened a little, and his attitude was not as enthusiastic as before.

So, after hearing this, he didn't pay attention, and just replied perfunctorily: "Oh, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Lauris said: "The businessman in Vera suddenly asked me for a bill! He told me that last month's candles cost a thousand, and fish, meat, game, etc. cost more than 2000." , and some syrup, chocolate..."

King Richard didn't want to hear it anymore.

He closed his eyes and pretended to be half asleep and sleepy.

But Mrs. Lauris insisted on pushing him, complaining coquettishly: "Don't sleep, I haven't finished yet. That idiot Vera came to charge me for the bill, but obviously His Majesty said it before, I am Don't worry about these anymore. But he actually told me yesterday that His Majesty didn't care about it and asked me to pay the bill myself... How is this possible? How could Your Majesty treat me like this? Someone must have passed the word wrong! You Say, is it funny?"

King Richard closed his eyes, and there seemed to be a slight smile on his lips.

Because of this, Mrs. Lauris couldn't see what he meant at all, so she could only continue to complain tentatively: "These small businessmen have always been the most snobbish, and they all like to flatter the high and trample the low, because His Majesty has been busy with political affairs recently, and the queen..."

She paused and skipped the topic: "So, I'm very busy, so I stopped coming to my place a few times, and they all got bullied one by one. In the past, I never saw them come to ask for the bill, but now ..."

Speaking of this, King Richard really couldn't continue to pretend to be dead.

He sighed, sat up in bed, got out of bed again, and began to dress.

Mrs. Laureys stared blankly at him: "Your Majesty?"

His Majesty the King turned his head helplessly, raised his hand and touched her head: "Listen to me, my dear. Those bills, I really asked them to come and ask you for money..."

"Huh?" Mrs. Laureys opened her mouth in shock.

However, King Richard cried poorly to his mistress without the slightest blush: "My dear, although I am a king, I am not a god who can turn stones into gold! You will spend a month Wan, where can I find money to fill this hole?"

As he said that, he picked up the shirt he had just taken off and shook it, and sighed with mixed feelings: "Look, I've washed and worn this shirt for almost two weeks, but you You have to change into three skirts in three days! That old stubborn Dressel has been yelling at me every day lately that the treasury is empty, alas, I am really a poor king, and I have no money to pay for your expenses."

Mrs. Laureys stared at him in disbelief.

But then, tears welled up from her eyes, and her voice amplified unconsciously: "You are the king! How come you have no money? You just say this because you don't want to bother me anymore..."

King Richard was upset by her crying: "What do you say? I didn't say that, I just asked you to be a little more restrained, and to bear and bear your own expenses..."

"In order to love you, I disregarded my own reputation, disregarded the scolding of others, disregarded the eyes of the world... for your happiness, I gave you everything. Now, you suddenly say that you don't care about me! Ah, you , how could you do this to me?"

Mrs. Lauris burst into tears: "Your Majesty, what is the point of me living like this? If others know that you are tired of me, I am afraid that everyone will laugh at me to death. From then on, I will have no face to live here The world is over!"

An impatient look immediately appeared on King Richard's face.

He really couldn't bear the woman's fuss, and wanted to ask for a peace of mind, so he had to perfunctory again: "Okay, okay, don't cry. I'll talk to the businessman for you later, give me some time." Day, tell him not to chase after you all day for money..."

Mrs. Lauris became even more angry-couldn't those accounts be considered as non-existent if they were not chasing after them?

She buried her head in the blanket, crying loudly.

King Richard was there, neither standing nor walking, with distress and anger intertwined on his face, but there was no pity or distress.

In the end, he was cruel and decided to walk away irresponsibly!

As a result, this relaxation activity ended anticlimactically.

When he returned to the palace, Mrs. Lauris' crying still echoed in his ears, so his mood didn't improve.

And then, even more infuriating...

He asked his left and right attendants again: "How is the queen? Is she feeling better?"

The attendants all shook their heads bitterly.

King Richard had no choice but to be patient, and went to the harem to visit the queen again.

The poor queen can only lie in bed to recuperate.

She hadn't had a good life since marrying the king.

Although many people think that she is asking for trouble.

After all, although Mrs. Lauris is a negative example, if you can live like her, you can enjoy it as much as you want, and spend as much as you want... Plus, you are still a queen, so why worry about life being difficult?

However, the queen was too kind, she couldn't do those things no matter what, and she didn't want to cause a little trouble to others. No matter how uncomfortable it was, she just endured it silently.

So……

Seeing her weak appearance now, King Richard felt a little guilty for a while.

He originally hated this wife with a dull face, a dull personality, and an incomprehensible style. He also thought that she was so dignified and reserved that she didn't even look like a woman at all, and even going to bed with her was like work and no fun.

However, since she got married, she has never made any mistakes, and she has been doing her best to help him take care of the trivial matters around him and care about his body.

Even if he tried to save her face countless times due to various reasons, her attitude was always gentle, she never quarreled or fought openly with him, but shed tears alone...

Moreover, she is so kind by nature, because she knows that her husband is bothered, she never makes things difficult for other women.

For example, when Mrs. Lauris was the most favored, the king would casually say a few words to other maids...

In the next few days, the lady-in-waiting will be caught and embarrassingly ordered by Mrs. Laurels!

But the queen won't do that.

Even though she was jealous in her heart, she never had any thoughts of hurting others. With gentle eyes, she could always see the good of others.

For example, Donna may be innocent, but after all, she had a relationship with the king, but she never listened to the rumors spread by others, and only thought about how Donna used to take care of herself and take care of herself;

Another example is that Mrs. Lauris is very arrogant and domineering, and she is rampant when she is in power, but although she doesn't like this lady, she is also cautious in her words and deeds, and never spreads rumors about the other party. beautiful!

and so……

"If I change another queen, will it still be like this?"

Richard asked himself: "If a woman like Mrs. Laureys is allowed to be the queen, she will be like Alisa. She will not seek power and fame, will not be jealous and harm others, and will not cause trouble for me. She will only serve me and for me wholeheartedly. Is this country?"

Obviously not.

After much deliberation, King Richard couldn't think of a better queen than Alisa.

So, in the next time...

He actually sat beside the queen's bed for a moment, put on an affectionate look, and recruited a bunch of doctors to see the queen.

This attitude surprised everyone inside and outside the court—hasn't Your Majesty always hated the queen the most?

Queen Alisa was also at a loss, but also a little moved.

She thought that the king would ignore her, but she did not expect to receive such care. She couldn't help but think comfortingly in her heart: "Your Majesty treats me with a bit of love as husband and wife after all."

After that, due to Duke Henry's conspiracy, it has not been definitively confirmed.

The king did not announce it to the outside world, let alone inform the queen of the news.

Therefore, the queen did not know that her miscarriage was related to the conspiracy.

She just felt that she was so careless that she couldn't even keep her child. She blamed herself for this, and she couldn't think about it all the time.

Then there was another day.

Lord Dressel came to talk again, asking the king to pay more attention to some orphanages and workhouses in the royal city.

The king was upset by the nagging, and came back to complain.

It was only then that Alisa remembered that this seemed to be... the errand that was dropped due to pregnancy.

Then, she suddenly realized: "Yes, God must be punishing me! He punished me for not doing good deeds wholeheartedly, punishing me for my child, and forgetting the responsibilities I should have taken. So, God punished me, child. there is none left……"

So, rely on the power of faith (superstition)!

The queen regained her spirits and forced herself to get out of bed.

Moreover, it does not wait for the disease to fully recover.

She was once again busy inspecting workhouses and orphanages in Wangcheng, trying to devote all her energy to doing good deeds, so as to relieve the pain in her heart and accumulate merit for the children who passed away.

King Richard was delighted with the queen's improvement, but he didn't care what the reason for her improvement was.

Therefore, seeing that the queen was devoted to doing good deeds, he didn't think it was necessary, but he didn't care much.

(two)

During the period when the queen devoted herself to charity, Duke Henry remained at large.

Judian and Master Dressel dispatched troops one after another to arrest him, but they couldn't find him.

Therefore, some people who knew the inside story of this incident couldn't help but be amazed, thinking that Duke Henry would really hide, and they also speculated where he hid?

Some guessed that he hid with his mistress; some speculated that he hid at the house of his confidants; To punish this younger brother, he secretly hid him in the palace...

However, these guesses were clearly wrong.

Just because Duke Henry is now hiding in a place that no one else can guess anyway.

Just because of this place.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ben has nothing to do with him.

Earl Safire Sorensen stared blankly at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, and did not speak for a long time.

After a long time, he asked politely, "Master Duke, what are you doing here suddenly? The people outside are looking for you like crazy!"

Duke Henry leaned lazily in a chair, his expression quite calm: "Safire, Safire, you are so shrewd... Could it be that you can't even guess why I came here?"

"I really can't guess."

Earl Safire said simply: "Besides, I still remember that we have always had nothing to do with each other."

"But now there is."

Duke Henry said firmly.

Earl Safire asked: "Oh, I don't know what's the relationship?"

Duke Henry immediately said with a playful smile: "There is a relationship between harboring and being harbored! Now that you are harboring me, a criminal, isn't that a relationship?"

Earl Safire's eyes sharpened immediately: "I can also arrest you now and hand it over to the king."

"Okay!" Duke Henry smiled reassuringly: "If you really do that, then I will have to trade your secret for a little forgiveness from Brother Wang."

"My secret? What secret do I have?"

Earl Safire asked back with a calm expression.

Duke Henry watched him with a smile, and he couldn't help showing a bit of admiration. Then, he pretended to sigh, and shook his head, as if he had grasped some big secret.

However, these actions were all in vain.

After realizing that Earl Safir's mind is hard, he is unshakable about it, and he doesn't accept his own set at all...

Duke Henry still gave up and continued to bluff the opponent.

He directly confessed the half-investigated and half-guessed secret: "The rebels in the northern province were originally just a group of lowly peasants. They have never been so powerful in the past. But since this year, they have repeatedly set off The riots were still successful, and they were able to miraculously escape unscathed, and put the government in a mess... Tell me, what's going on here?"

Earl Safir remained expressionless and said nothing.

Duke Henry didn't care either.

He continued to ask himself and answered, "Are the rebels really that powerful? I can't see it! Until later, I accidentally discovered... Safire, haha, you really set up a big game." ! Who would have thought? It is not the rebels who are powerful, but you! Those rebels have made great achievements because of the information you gave them!"

"Pure nonsense."

Earl Safire vetoed the accusation.

He asked calmly: "Your Excellency, do you think that you can clear your name of murdering the heir by accusing me of such a ridiculous thing?"

"It's really not that easy, but at least it's a credit, and it should be able to offset some of the guilt."

"Do you think His Majesty will believe it?"

"I'm also his own brother after all. Do you think he believes it? Even if he doesn't believe what I say for a while, will he believe you in the future?"

Duke Henry sneered and said, "Besides, I'll delay the murder of the king's heir for a while, so I might not be able to find a way to evade and solve it. But you secretly colluded with the rebels, and you really thought you were flawless. Will you be able to retreat in the end? By the way, don’t even try to get rid of me, since I dare to come, I will always leave some backup for myself.”

Earl Safir was silent for a while and said, "Okay! Your Excellency the Duke is relying on me."

He said calmly: "Tell me, what is your purpose?"

Duke Henry couldn't help frowning slightly.

Because he noticed that even in this situation, this person still did not plead guilty to colluding with the rebels.

It can be seen from this that this person's character is cautious and shrewd to the extreme, he couldn't help but secretly startled, although he didn't reveal anything on the surface, but deep down he couldn't help being more wary of seeking skin from a tiger, originally he wanted to directly state his purpose, At this time, he hesitated a little.

But in the end, greedy ambition still made him temporarily ignore the reminder in his heart.

While pondering over his words, he observed the expression on Safir's face, and said slowly and sincerely: "I mentioned it to you before, Safir."

"The two of us should have been great friends because we both had ambitions to reform this country."

"So, if we can reach an agreement from now on and join forces, I can assure you that you no longer have to worry about that corrupt old man Dressel becoming your hindrance, and I don't have to worry about Richard's treatment of me again." Afraid, thus restrained, not daring to let go..."

The corner of Earl Safire's lips curled into a very subtle arc.

He asked a question bluntly: "Your Excellency, are you asking me to assist you in your rebellion?"

"Well, what do you think?"

"I think it's a silly joke."

"No, I'm very serious."

"But I can't see what you have done, what power you have in your hands, other than fabricating a ridiculous thing out of thin air and pinning it on me..."

"Don't be so dismissive, Sapphire."

Duke Henry laughed: "Are you so sure that I fabricated it out of thin air without any evidence? Besides, how can you be sure that I don't have any power in my hands? Besides..."

"Safir, do you think you have any choice? Let me tell you this. If we can't talk this time, I may be unlucky, but Richard won't let me die. But if I want to Trying my best to pull you into the water, you will never get any benefits!"

Earl Safire still didn't respond.

The two looked at each other so silently that the air was tense like a stretched rubber band.

In the end, it was Duke Henry who couldn't hold back anymore and spoke first, ending the confrontation.

He persuaded in a good voice: "That's good, you should think about it for a few days..."

Then, he stood up, looked around, and said with a smile: "It's just that, I don't have any place to go for the time being, so I might as well ask you to entertain me for a few more days."

Under Earl Safire's icy gaze...

Duke Henry strolled around as if he was going back to his own home, and ran to find a room to rest on his own.

And after he left, because of such a sudden incident...

Earl Safire couldn't help frowning, and began to rethink his relationship with the rebels.

And what's even more interesting is...

The whereabouts that Duke Henry thought to be hidden were accidentally exposed the moment he arrived at Earl Safir's mansion.

However, the person who found his trace did not report it immediately, but ran over quickly and found Jamie.

Levin, who wanted to get the most credit, was now delusional about going directly to the king through this credit, so as to leave a shrewd and capable impression on the king...

So, he excitedly told Jamie: "I found Duke Henry, and he is with Earl Sapphire."

In fact, Jamie, who doesn't want to get involved in the court struggle, has no fluctuations in his inner world.

After a long time, he replied bluntly: "Oh, then you are really awesome."
