(One)

When Jamie left the palace, his mind was calm and he didn't feel angry at all.

Because he has now discovered that these nobles and the men and women of the royal family are all shameless to an almost bottomless level, and their behavior is very selfish, never caring about other people's feelings and emotions.

They almost coldly believe that any person, thing, or thing, including marriage, can be exchanged for benefits.

Therefore, King Richard's behavior this time was not intended to insult people, but to seriously want to find a solution.

When he thought about it: Mrs. Lauris had a good status and status. Although her reputation was a little lacking, she was still a beautiful woman. Moreover, this beautiful woman had relied on his own favor in recent years. At any rate, she was considered a popular character in Wangcheng's social circle. Accumulated a lot of personal connections;

As for Louis, although he currently recognizes Mrs. Dressel as his father, he also occasionally helps to support him.But in terms of identity, he is just an illegitimate child, and he is a newcomer, so his foothold is very unstable.

Therefore, if these two people can be combined, the ideal state should be the best of both worlds.

First, Mrs. Lauris can solve the problem of illegitimate children;

Secondly, Louis can also use his wife's contacts to fully integrate into the upper class.

In addition, the king considers himself not a heartless person.

Afterwards, he will also extend some grace and care to these two people.

In this way, everyone gets their own benefits.

Everyone has something to gain, isn't it a great thing? !

But unfortunately!

He thought very well!

But Jamie really didn't want to have an extra tortoise shell on his back out of thin air.

It's just that if you refuse the king face to face, everyone will lose face, which is obviously not a wise move.

Therefore, he simply agreed on the surface, but he was secretly thinking about how to appear innocent, and at the same time, let the other party, Mrs. Laurie, take the initiative to break the engagement.

He thought about it, and his thoughts were complicated and chaotic for a while.

When I suddenly thought of the early marriage requested by the king, and then I thought that there might be another wedding, and then I thought about the timing problem that I was facing recently...

Jamie suddenly had a little idea, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Well, speaking of it, there is still room for maneuver and utilization of this matter."

So, after thinking about the matter thoroughly, he ran to propose to Mrs. Laureys as the king requested.

Mrs. Laureys was funny.

She clearly knew what was going on, and knew that Jamie's proposal was nothing more than going through a formality, but she still hoped that all men would fall for her, so she deliberately put on a shy look, and bit her tongue again. The lower lip cast a winking look over her, as if she was really in the scene of an admirer coming to propose marriage, expressing very softly and artificially that she is grateful for the love, but this matter is too sudden, and it needs to be carefully considered for a few days.

Jamie was very impatient.

Although he can only be regarded as a newcomer in Wangcheng's social circle, but because Mrs. Lauris has always been a famous figure, even if she is not around, there are many legends about her.

Therefore, even if he didn't know everything about the disgusting temperament and behavior style of the woman in front of him, he still had a rough idea.

Especially like some things that happened recently.

For example, news like, "The king has gradually become indifferent to her", "She was stupid to engage in some kind of toy charity, and almost caused a big mess" can almost be said to be known to everyone, and everyone knows it.

Therefore, seeing her putting on airs like this, I didn't want to cooperate much.

Besides, he didn't want to win the woman's favor at first, so he smiled and pretended to understand: "Madam married me, I think it's really a grievance. But you and I both know that there are some mysteries and reasons behind it." And these mysteries and reasons, I don't need to go into details, I think the rumors that are raging in the outside world have already spread..."

Mrs. Laureys looked at him blankly, as if she could not understand what he was talking about.

But when she heard the rumors, she instinctively pretended to be stupid, and hurriedly explained: "What rumors? There are always villains inside and outside the palace who like to create rumors about me! What are they saying about me? Could it be that I have some kind of birthmark on my inner thigh? Or is it that I had some outrageous... um, something about my stomach? Ah, it’s outrageous, outrageous, there’s nothing like that at all.”

Jamie couldn't help laughing, feeling a little helpless in her heart, knowing that what she said meant that she didn't admit it at all, so she had to speak more clearly, with a hint of sarcasm: "The rumors are true and false, we naturally You don’t need to study and care about it, but I’m really following the king’s advice this time, so, madam, let’s not waste each other’s time, shall we?”

Mrs. Laureys was instantly annoyed at the refusal of others to accompany her in the play of fools and plays.

Before that, the king loved her so much, so everyone wanted to flatter her; there were also some rascals who coveted her beauty, and made some coveted looks from time to time, which made her have a kind of "the man saw me!" Will be heart-beating' illusion.

Now, when she suddenly met Jamie, she bluntly expressed the attitude of "I'm not interested in you" when she came up. Suggestion', and then, obviously implying that he should not take Joe again, and the scene will be over soon...

It's rude and hateful as hell!

So much so that she felt humiliated for no reason, so she became 12 dissatisfied with this future husband.

Because of this dissatisfaction, she simply stopped pretending to be stupid, and directly moved the fan away from her face, revealing a pair of fierce eyes, glaring at Jamie viciously, and scolding through gritted teeth: "You know what's going on? How dare you treat me like this? You dog...you are not afraid of His Majesty..."

"I don't think His Majesty has to take care of the affairs of other people's husbands and wives, does he?"

Jamie deliberately taunted her in a worse tone: "Madam, if you are married, your Majesty will have nothing to do with you. Actually, to be honest, I think he might want to have nothing to do with you now. Say no I must be eager to get rid of you. Otherwise, I would not suggest that I come here and propose to you..."

Mrs. Laureys could not hear such hints of falling out of favor, and immediately blurted out: "That's because I'm pregnant with his child."

As soon as these words came out, she felt a little apprehensive, regretting her slip of the tongue.

It's just because in the upper class, everyone is prudish, some things are obviously done too much in private, but they have to pretend to be innocent and well-behaved on the surface, so that they appear decent.

Like she did just now, it was like flipping the table in public, which made her appear extraordinarily rude and indecent.

However, it took only three seconds for the lady to regret it, and she soon regained her confidence.

Just because she felt that the king was different from other men, he was the most honorable man in the whole country, and since she slept with the king, she was no longer an ordinary woman.

Therefore, Mrs. Lauris immediately straightened her back again, put on a determined look, and flaunted: "Your Majesty is not ignoring me, he is just worried that my child and I will be gossiped about in the future, so he will give me Find a home. Let me tell you, Louis, you'd better show me some respect, there will be more benefits for you in the future..."

Jamie looked at her disapprovingly, sighed, then shook his head.

This kind of demeanor and action made Mrs. Lauris more and more dissatisfied: "You can say what you have to say, but who will show this dead look?"

Jamie sighed because of this: "Madam, although you are beautiful and enchanting, your mind is really simple."

Then, without waiting for Mrs. Laureys to get angry again, he continued calmly: "Have you never thought about it? If you really married me, the nominal father of this child is me, and he himself Now you will lose your status as the king's son, and there will be no possibility of inheriting the throne from now on?"

After hearing these words, Mrs. Laureys opened her mouth wide, with a stunned expression on her face.

Because her vision is actually very small, even if she is pregnant with a child, she only wants to compete for the king's favor, and her only ambition is to become the queen of this country.

What about the heir to the throne?

Not to mention that she is only a mistress at present, but that King Richard is still in the prime of life, and he can be a king for many years at a glance.Naturally, it is impossible to think about such distant things...

Or perhaps had a vague idea.

But in fact, I dare not think deeply.

Now, this matter was suddenly revealed by Jamie.

She couldn't help thinking about it, and of course she put on a face and said: "Ah, what nonsense are you talking about, how could I think about such a thing? I shouldn't be thinking about this as a woman..."

Jamie looked at her with a half-smile on purpose again, but didn't want to continue talking.

Then, he bowed politely to the lady and said: "I'm very sorry, I was a little offended just now. As for the other words... It's just idle and joking, please don't take it to heart .And, if you tell me, I won't admit it."

"As for the proposal, since you said you would consider it for a few days..."

"This is as it should be. Marriage is an important matter, and you should not treat it too casually. You have to think about it. So, please allow me to retire today and come to visit again in a few days."

Mrs. Laureys was dazed by his withdrawal.

Although she is simple-minded, she still knows some routines that people often use. Seeing Jamie talking so much just now, she thought that he would tell his purpose next, for example, to form an alliance with her, and for example, to give some suggestions.

But he never expected that he would turn around and leave after disturbing her so much that she was upset and at a loss?

It seemed that there was no purpose at all, and it was as if he wanted to show her his own insights just because he saw a little clue.

When you want to ask to stay, ask again.

But in the blink of an eye, Jamie ran away as fast as a rabbit.

Mrs. Laureys couldn't help feeling restless again.

Distraughtly she thought: "Damn it! So, is this marriage a good one or not?"

(two)

However, it doesn't matter whether the marriage ends in the end or not!

Jamie made up his mind that he must have a wedding.

Just because the wedding must be held at the Dressel House.

At that time, wouldn't the gathering of guests be a natural place to make trouble?

So, let's not care about whether Mrs. Laureys has any specific thoughts or not.

With such a incident, Jamie has actively responded to the call of His Majesty the King, making it known to everyone that he wants to marry Mrs. Lauris.

After King Richard knew about it, he was really relieved.

He couldn't help thinking happily: "This brother is completely different from that bastard Henry, and he is very caring."

But I have to say...

Lord Dressel's son and Mrs. Laureys, this combination is really unexpected, and even a little bit unbelievable!

So, as soon as the news comes out!

Instantly detonated all the social circles in Wangcheng, and became the hottest topic of the year!

For a while, everyone was discussing this miraculous marriage.

"What did Master Dressel say?"

"I don't know, I just heard that I have passed out three times."

"Oh, my God! Poor Lord Dressel. Speaking of which, the first half of the year is really enough for him. First the illegitimate child fell from the sky, and then the illegitimate child found a whore who was very different from him to be his pawn." Daughter-in-law, to him, it can be said that the family is unlucky! Poor, poor!"

"To be honest, if your tone is not so gloating, I really believe your words."

"Hahaha, there is no way! Who told that old man to set up that damn immoral behavior ban meeting! Before, he even arrested one of my lovers, and I took the initiative to pay the fine, but they wouldn't let him go. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep well for many days, I really wanted to kill that old man!"

"Then I might as well send you another piece of good news for free. I heard that the old man has already planned to disband that club for immoral behavior."

"Congratulations, come to think of it, with such a dissolute daughter-in-law, he doesn't have the face to keep going!"

For a moment, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort and revenge.

But discussing Mr. Dressel is only incidental after all.

Next, everyone will inevitably have to talk about the master of the matter—the soon-to-be-married couple.

"Actually, ignoring Mrs. Lauris's reputation, she is considered the most beautiful woman, and it is not a bad thing to marry her."

"It's not bad to be someone else, but to be honest, think about it, that kid Louis's looks are really rare in a hundred years. In terms of looks alone, let me say that Mrs. Lauris is not as exquisite as him. "

"So, the two beauties get together, isn't it even more pleasing to the eye?"

"It's pleasing to the eye, it's just a waste of resources."

"Well, I don't think so, because, I'm afraid it's not a waste of resources, maybe it's another couple..."

When the speaker said this, he suddenly paused, pretended to be sneaky, deliberately lowered his voice, winked, and said euphemistically, "The other pair of Judian and Where's Mrs. Donna?"

Hearing what he said, the other person was slightly surprised, but showed an excited expression: "You mean that His Majesty treats them..."

The one who made a bold guess before immediately restrained himself, and pretended to be innocent, smiling and spreading his hands: "Hey, I didn't say anything."

At this point, the two people who spoke exchanged a few meaningful smiles with the group of people who were listening.

Until night time...

It can be said that in just one day, rumors like this have spread smoothly throughout the Wangcheng social circle.

Master Dressel fainted again because of this.

Jamie was worried for a while, fearing that the suspended animation plan had not officially started, and the old man had unfortunately been pissed off by himself.

And Mrs. Dressel...

She was unwilling to say a word to Jamie now.

The cheap sister, Susanna, came over quietly and asked, "Do you really want to marry that Mrs. Lauris?"

The plan in Jamie's heart must not be revealed, so he just pretended to be helpless: "The news has been spread, can there still be fakes?"

Susannah couldn't help being very stunned: "But isn't Mrs. Lauris His Majesty's lover? How can she marry you?"

"Because after she marries me, she will naturally not be His Majesty's lover." Jamie didn't bother to explain to her the questions about the exchange of interests between adults, and only answered casually.

Suzanne had a hard time understanding it.

In her naive thoughts, being the king's lover is a very enviable thing, everyone should flatter, everyone should be in awe, from now on, she can do whatever she wants, those rules that her parents once strictly prohibited , all can be ignored.

But now the problem is...

It turns out that the king's lover is not a lifelong career, after the expiration, you still have to marry someone!

Think about it this way.

It seems that it has only been prestige for a few years, and it is very meaningless.

Susannah sighed.

Therefore, she didn't bother to continue asking about Mrs. Laureys, so she just walked away lonely.

Unbeknownst to Jamie, he has once again succeeded in getting Cheap Sister to give up an unreliable dream.

He seized the time to send a message to Macomb, asking the other party to urge that Earl Safir again—about the mission.

Let him say this to the Earl: If you can't take action and then complete the previously agreed deal, then the time will be delayed for too long. If it doesn't work, it's better to cancel the deal.

Earl Safire felt the same way.

But the reason why he has not taken any action recently is entirely because there is still a Duke Henry in the mansion.

The duke doesn't regard himself as an outsider very much, he often follows him, and always enters some hidden places of the study and bedroom whenever he wants, regardless of other people's privacy, which makes Earl Safire very angry , I only endured it for the time being because it was not time to turn my face.

Now, the rebels are getting impatient.

Earl Safire also felt that it would be endless if the delay continued.

just!

A wedding is about to take place at Dressel's house.

In this way, that Judian is also going to participate.

That being the case!

Just get everyone together!

Let the rebels kill Dressel first, and then, it is best not to show up, just send someone to give them the money, complete the transaction on the spot, and then notify Judian to silence and seize the money!

After thinking about things this way, it seems that there is no problem at first.

So he immediately sent a message back to Macomb, setting a time for them to do it, and it turned out to be the day when the wedding was held at Dressel's house.

But what Earl Safire didn't expect was...

He just made a plan here.

On the other end, Duke Henry jumped out unwillingly.

The high-minded duke asked Earl Safire to join him in usurping the throne and plotting rebellion.

For this reason, he also plausibly said, filled with righteous indignation: "I am too lazy to continue hiding, and I can't stand this wronged, so I just fight it openly!"

Earl Safir was so angry that he almost wanted to blow his head off.

It's just because he's living a good life, even though he's secretly playing tricks, schemes and even assassinations, he doesn't want to challenge such a big thing as treason at all.

Besides, even if it is really treason, it should be for myself...

And not for such a fool!

But Duke Henry seemed to have made up his mind.

Since then, he has occupied the magpie's nest, openly in front of Earl Safire, and started to contact the old department, summoned his confidantes, and made intensive preparations for the plot to rebel and usurp the throne.

And as it happens...

The time he set was also the day of the wedding at Dressel's house.

"That bad old man Dressel is loyal to Richard, his son is married, and he is married to his mistress, so..."

Duke Henry guessed, "In all likelihood, Richard will be there. At that time, it will be our chance."

Earl Safire thought: "No, that's your chance, not mine."

He didn't want to go all the way to the dark with Duke Henry at all, he said a few words on the surface, but he began to think about how to get out in his heart.

On the other end, Jamie finally proposed again successfully.

By this time, Mrs. Laureys had already known that he had no interest in men and women to her, and the hateful thing was that although he had no interest, he cunningly put on an appearance of willingness to marry early on.

Therefore, if the marriage fails, the responsibility lies entirely on oneself.

At that time, I couldn't help but face King Richard's dissatisfaction and blame.

She was full of depression and dissatisfaction, but had nowhere to say it.

But the arrow was on the string, and he had no choice but to agree to the marriage proposal first.

It's just that I still don't want to be reconciled, and I think about the phrase he said before, 'If you marry, the child will not be eligible to be an heir'.

Therefore, she couldn't help probing: "Last time you told me that if I married you, the child in my womb would not be considered the king's son, but is there any solution?"

Unexpectedly, Jamie's face was pure and innocent: "What? I didn't say that? Ma'am, your memory is not good? So, you remember wrongly?"

Mrs. Laureys fell backward again.

But looking horizontally and vertically, looking left and right, she still couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in this kid's gourd. She only felt anxious like a crab in a steamer, with nowhere to climb, and could only wave wildly in vain. Crab Claws shouted in his heart: "Are you going to marry me? If you are going to marry, why did you say those things to me? But if you don't marry, what's going on with the current situation?"

"I really hate to kill this bastard. Could it be that he deliberately tortured me? If so..."

"Ah! Sooner or later, you will be so angry that I will pick up a sharp knife and cut out your heart to see if it is completely black!!"
