Good-looking, not allowed to farm

(One)

As soon as Duke Henry's words came out of his mouth, there was an uproar in the audience.

Many people couldn't help looking at Mrs. Lauris, and some looked at Jamie with glee...

Jamie pursed his lips desperately and widened his eyes, making his face show a look of grief and indignation, as if he was surprised and hurt by this matter.

However, contrary to the expression on his face, he is now in a surprisingly good mood, and the things he was worrying about before were instantly written off, almost relying on his utmost restraint to prevent himself from laughing out loud on the spot.

As for Mrs. Laureys it was another matter.

She is still hesitating whether to really get involved with Duke Henry...

This is actually entirely up to her.

It was because Duke Henry had told her before that if she agreed to form an alliance, instead of marrying an ordinary poor illegitimate son raised by a countryman from the Dressel family, it would be better to marry him, at least it would be regarded as marrying into the royal family; It doesn't matter if he doesn't agree to form an alliance, or if he can't think about the result for the time being, he just needs to pretend to be ignorant later, and he will act like an unrequited love, which will not harm her interests.

Therefore, Mrs. Laureys has no doubts about the theory of robbery.

Even from a certain point of view, she felt a little honored and proud in her heart.

After all, a woman can attract two men to fight for it.

Regardless of the process and the result, this woman is going to steal the show.

In fact it is.

Even if the vast majority of people knew that Duke Henry had shamelessly told a big lie, he used this to escape the charge of treason.

But the interesting reason of 'grabbing a marriage' came out.

Most of the eyes present were focused on this 'beautiful beauty'.Some noble ladies are still jealous and envious; some people find it interesting and amusing; some have a bit of disgust, and they think that she is not a good woman.

But she was not a good woman.

So, whatever other people think!

Just this moment!

She is the focus of everyone's attention and the object of attention, so she is very proud of herself.

So, she immediately put on an innocent and embarrassing look, and said in a dramatic and tender voice: "Oh, Henry, you...how could you? How could you...do this for me..."

Duke Henry looked at her affectionately very cooperatively, and followed suit: "My dear, don't worry about it! This is our man's business, why should you make it difficult?"

"But I didn't deserve you to cause such a big disaster for me!"

Mrs. Laureys spoke with a sob, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

At the same time, with the help of the handkerchief, she moved her eyeballs slightly to the left, quietly looking at King Richard's face, hoping to see if her true lover showed any jealous reaction.

However, what made her secretly hate...

King Richard showed no sign of jealousy.

On the contrary, he watched the two of them with great interest, as if watching a play with relish.

Mrs. Laureys suddenly felt angry.

After all, although Duke Henry was lying, the excuse was 'he only married her because he loved her', which satisfied her vanity very much.

On the contrary, King Richard's look of not even doubting, not believing at all, clearly paid no attention to her, and he didn't think she had the charm to attract men to fight for her.

Mrs. Lauris was full of anger, and at the same time felt that the king was really heartless and ruthless!

From this, I can't help but suspect the other party's purpose of marrying me into the Dressel family: "That old man Dressel attaches great importance to rules, but he wants me to marry into his family. Backing up for me, wouldn't I be subject to that damn old man? Could it be that it was for this purpose that he asked me to marry? Is it to get rid of me completely when he wants to get bored? "

Thinking of this, she immediately made up her mind: "This marriage can't be done."

As for whether to cooperate with Duke Henry, the lady shrewdly did not say anything immediately, and planned to wait until the dust settled. If His Majesty the King did not condemn the Duke in the end, then marrying him would be a good choice.

So Mrs. Laureys just put on a delicate and painful embarrassment, but she didn't say a useful word.

Duke Henry played with her for a long time, seeing that she was pretending to be so serious, but when it was almost her turn to help him intercede with the king, he immediately fell silent, knowing that she wanted to, After waiting for the result to bet, he immediately cursed in his heart: "Ah! This selfish bitch should be hanged and hanged!"

On the surface, he still pretended to be affectionate: "Your Majesty, I did make a big mistake, but I don't regret it! If I just watch the woman I love marry someone else, but I don't do anything, then What's the point of me being alive?"

King Richard held back a smile and made an understanding expression: "It is understandable to say so."

Duke Henry immediately raised his head, intending to argue harder: "Leading people to surround the Dressel Mansion, and even letting people break in, I admit all of these. But you know, it's all for the sake of There has never been any treason in my love, if someone takes the opportunity to slander and frame me, Your Majesty, I will never forgive him."

King Richard made a thoughtful expression.

Then, his gaze gradually shifted from Duke Henry's face to the person next to him.

Among them, Earl Safire, as the informer, should have stood up immediately at this time and testified against Duke Henry.

But the Earl had always been cunning and cunning, and would not make any moves unless necessary. At this time, he still kept silent and pretended not to exist, and waited and watched the development of the situation.

Another person was completely dizzy.

Judian couldn't figure out the situation with a dazed face, and his head was muddled: "Didn't I come to catch the rebels and make a deal with that old man Dressel? What the hell is going on now? Where are the rebels? Gone? And Dressel? Where did the damned old man go?"

As for Louis, aka Jamie...

Maybe it's because the cover-up skills are insufficient, or in other words, the king himself is a master, and his natural eyesight is extraordinary. Although he is pretending to be sad and serious, the smile in his eyes has already revealed his true feelings... Can't help but secretly laugh.

But because Jamie is really good-looking, even if he puts on a show, it will not make people feel disgusted, but rather cute.

Therefore, King Richard thought with rare tolerance: "Well, this little guy who likes to go to the theater is actually quite like me."

In this way, just when no one wanted to be the leader and was only waiting for the king to express his opinion...

A voice suddenly sounded angrily: "Nonsense! How dare you, Duke Henry, tell such a big lie to escape responsibility."

(two)

When no one was willing to say anything, a voice accusing Duke Henry sounded so abruptly...

Everyone immediately cheered up, wondering who this stunned young man was, and followed the voice to look over.

But he saw Master Dressel with a dark face, being supported by Mrs. Dressel, walking over angrily.

He seemed to be afraid that His Majesty would let Duke Henry go easily, and stopped him in a very angry and anxious tone: "Your Majesty, you must not be deceived by this treacherous man! If you are a dignified Duke, if you like a woman, you just need to speak out." But, where is there a need to snatch a marriage? Besides, Mrs. Laureys is not a beauty that can overwhelm the country, but an ordinary woman, how can she have the charm that makes people dizzy? Such absurd nonsense makes me Say, you shouldn't even listen!"

There is nothing wrong with these words.

But he defeated the three of them in one go!

First, it is said that His Majesty the King was deceived;

Then Mrs. Laurels was not attractive;

Finally, he pointed out that Duke Henry was lying.

can only say……

As expected of Mr. Dressel who has made countless enemies in the entire court!

Therefore, he just finished speaking here...

King Richard over there had a slightly sullen face.

And Mrs. Laureys was mad with rage.

Originally, she probably still hesitated a little bit, but now she would rather die than marry into the Dressel family.

Duke Henry is relatively better.

Just because he knew very well in his heart that whether he was guilty or not had nothing to do with anyone else, only with Richard.

King Richard said he was guilty, so he was guilty even if he was not guilty.

King Richard said that he was not guilty, let alone that he had made up an excuse for himself in advance, even if there was no excuse, he could still get away with it.

Therefore, Duke Henry didn't care about Lord Dressel's words at all, and his attitude was very calm.

King Richard never winked at people, and spent most of his life in the court, but still insisted on the old principle of seeking truth from facts, criticizing this and that all day long, as if he was the only one in the world who was right, but never understood anything Master Dressel, who is called political balance, has actually been dissatisfied for a long time.

But because the other party is really loyal, it is necessary to tolerate it.

Therefore, he did not answer directly, but turned to other topics: "My dear sir, I am so glad to see you safe and sound. God knows, when I learned that you were assassinated, I was so frightened that my heart ached. paused."

Lord Dressel didn't notice that the king was changing the subject, and was very moved.

In order to repay the king's love, he was determined to continue to kill Duke Henry, the treasonous conspirator, and immediately replied: "Thanks to your majesty's protection, the old minister was able to escape death by chance. Now, in order to repay your majesty's kindness, to make Your Majesty will not be deceived by villains, I must explain it clearly to Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty has always been magnanimous to others and cared about brotherhood, but a sinister man like Duke Henry..."

"My good lord."

King Richard interrupted him, and said very directly: "I think, I should still have a certain ability to distinguish, and I don't need others to direct me."

Master Dressel couldn't help being taken aback.

However, before he could react, King Richard turned directly to Earl Safire and asked calmly, "Well, what do you say? As the person who testified against Henry at the beginning..."

Earl Safire stepped forward unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my previous recklessness. I came here to report to Your Majesty only because I was really frightened by the Duke's behavior of dispatching troops. But whether the Duke is plotting rebellion or robbing the marriage, I am now... alas, it is difficult to judge for a while! But Your Majesty is wise, and there should be a holy judgment."

The above is all nonsense.

The translation is:

Your Majesty, if you say that he is treasonous, then I will testify that he is treasonous;

Your Majesty, if you say that he is robbing the marriage, then I will be wrong and apologize immediately!

Not to mention how King Richard reacted.

Anyway, Jamie was amazed and admired, and almost wanted to applaud this person.

Master Dressel was extremely angry.

He never played those tricks and tricks, he only said one thing, and immediately reprimanded: "Earl Safire! You told us clearly before that Duke Henry colluded with the rebel army, and wanted to assassinate me and threaten you... Now it's just In the blink of an eye, you actually changed your rhetoric, don't you think everyone else is deaf and foolish?"

Earl Safire hadn't had time to explain anything.

Duke Henry suddenly raised his head, and laughed uncontrollably: "What, I colluded with the rebels? The Duke of my majestic royal family, I colluded with the rebels? You actually believe this kind of nonsense?"

Then, he sneered a few more times and said, "It is absolutely impossible for me to collude with the untouchables. I'm afraid some people are calling for a thief! Earl Safir, I think you look like someone who colludes with the rebels!"

Earl Saffir frowned, showing an expression of being wronged, but did not argue with Duke Henry.

He only took a step forward, bowed slightly to King Richard and said, "I will never admit to such an inexplicable charge. Now, Duke Henry should be resentful of me, so I have to be charged with this charge." If your majesty also has doubts, then simply ask someone to conduct a thorough investigation, so as to return my innocence. Anyway, I have always behaved well, so I am not afraid of investigation!"

Regardless of whether King Richard believed it or not, after hearing such words, it was natural for him to comfort his courtiers and pretend to be very trusting.

On the other side, Master Dressel was a little confused by this incident.

His thinking was already rigid, and the mutual accusations between Duke Henry and Earl Saffir made it impossible for him to tell who was right and who was wrong.

But on second thought, both of them were suspected!

He immediately said frankly: "Your Majesty, since the two of them don't know who is colluding with the rebels, just to be on the safe side, it's better to put both of them in prison. It's not too late to talk about other things after the matter is found out!"

King Richard was barely amused by the proposal.

He thought to himself: "Dreisel is indeed loyal, but these past few years have really been a bit old-fashioned. Henry is nothing more than a prisoner now. Safir is an important minister in the court. Without conclusive evidence, how can he be unreasonable?" Duandi was sent to prison?"

Thinking about it this way, I have to stand up and get muddled again.

But who knows, another person appeared at this time: "Wait, isn't it you, Mr. Dressel, who colluded with the rebels?"

As soon as this is said!

There was another commotion all around, and they all looked unbelievable.

After all, the image of Master Dressel as rigid, foolish and loyal is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But everyone followed the reputation, and saw that the person who identified Dressel was not some other messy person, but Judian, the king's former favorite, and hesitated for a while.

Because they don't know whether Judian's identification came from the king's order or purely from his own thoughts...

On the contrary, Judian stood up confidently and told the story of "I monitored the members of the rebel army, but accidentally discovered that this person had a deal with Lord Dressel" from the beginning to the end. The words and words were very sincere, and at the end, he swore Said it was all true.

Dressel-sama was so angry that he was about to refute...

Because he offended too many people!

Mrs. Lauris came up with a sentence that almost confirmed the crime: "What? Lord Dressel, how could you do such a thing of betraying the country and betraying His Majesty!"

Then, Earl Safire also showed a puzzled look, and said an annoying nonsense: "Is this true? Well, I don't want to doubt you, my lord, but if it's true, it's a big mistake. "

Duke Henry was in a bad mood at the moment, and it was the stage of catching and biting.

Seeing this, he immediately responded with an eye for an eye: "In my opinion, just to be on the safe side, it's better to put Mrs. Dressel in prison first, and wait until the matter is clarified before talking about other things!"

Master Dressel immediately pressed his heart and leaned back, looking as if he was about to be stunned.

If Mrs. Dressel hadn't supported her worriedly, she might have collapsed again soon.

Jamie had to come forward and speak now.

After watching the play for a long time, he knew that all the above-mentioned arguments were just nonsense, and what happened in the end would depend on the king, so when he argued, he didn't try very hard, he just pretended to be wronged and pitiful, Seemingly honest, but in fact he said perfunctorily: "I believe that father would not do such a thing, please Your Majesty make the decision for us."

King Richard looked at all the people present, and knew that these people had their own little thoughts, so he was very tired, so a half-smile appeared on his face.

He seemed serious, but there was a sarcasm and teasing light in his eyes, and he said very slowly: "Well, everyone... my dearest ministers, you really opened my eyes today! "

"My best friend, Judian, accused my Chancellor of the Exchequer of collaborating with the rebels; my Chancellor of the Exchequer accused my brother Henry of collaborating with the rebels; and then my brother Henry accused another of my ministers, Safi Lord Earl colluded with the rebels..."

"To be honest, if your accusations are true, so many important court officials are all colluding with the rebels..."

"Then it's ridiculous for me to be a king!"

"The courtiers are all in collusion with the rebels, so who am I to be king for? To the rebels?!"

When it came to the next few words, he spoke a little harshly.

Therefore, everyone dared not speak any more, and all lowered their heads.

In the silence, King Richard calmed down his anger again.

He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time and said, "Okay, for the sake of God, we will talk about everything later. Let me clean up for a while, I really saw a ghost, slandering each other and colluding with the rebels, Thanks to you guys who can figure it out...Damn it, my head is going to be completely confused by your partnership."

As a result, Duke Henry was temporarily taken down and imprisoned.

As for the others...

Since there is no evidence;

Or some people do have some evidence in their hands, but they feel that it is not enough to kill their enemies. Therefore, it is not worthwhile to show it at this time, and they simply continue to hide it.

In this way, it is obviously not enough to convict each other simply by blaming each other.

After the king took the lead to leave with the people, everyone stared at each other with hatred in their hearts, then put on a nonchalant smile on their faces, said goodbye to each other politely, and dispersed.

Master Dressel was very unwilling.

At the beginning, he had to be told by His Majesty about such an important matter, and he expected to perform well in this treason incident, but he was knocked out, and when he woke up, everything was over, and he didn't get any credit at all. , In the end, Judian gave him a shit bowl, and he was very annoyed.

Wait until the king walks away with people.

Looking at the mess in the house again, he was so angry that he wanted to faint, he just clutched his chest, and went back to his room to rest without saying a word.

On the contrary, Mrs. Dressel was very grateful to Jamie for saving her husband during the assassination, she nodded slightly to him, and her attitude was much more amicable.

Jamie was quite guilty about this, and after only returning a smile, he walked away pretending that there was still something to do.

On the other hand, although Duke Henry was imprisoned, because His Majesty the King did not say that he would be punished.

Moreover, since there is no final verdict on whether he is a 'rebellion' or a 'marriage robbery', there are still some speculators who are willing to send charcoal in the middle of nowhere, and deliberately go to burn his cold stove and do some small errands for him , I hope that after he escapes, he will be able to support him a little bit.

For this reason, Mrs. Lauris quickly received such a summons from Duke Henry, which probably means: If she can help him completely complete the previous lie of "grabbing a marriage" and agree to marry To be his wife, then he made a promise to treat the child in her womb as his own.If it is a boy, it will be established as the heir; if it is a girl, find a good family for her and give her a valuable dowry. When she has a boy again, she can also be established as the heir.

Mrs. Laureys thought for a while, and then compared Louis, that is, Jamie, with Duke Henry.

Leaving aside Dressel's stubborn old man, and only comparing the two, her heart gradually turned towards Duke Henry: "Although His Majesty promised to marry that Louise, he would be made a duke in the future, but that It all depends on whether His Majesty is happy or not. If you don't grant the title, won't you always be the earl? This is not as convenient as Duke Henry, who is already a duke. Besides, as long as the king has no children, Henry is still the second son of the country. What about the heir? In this way, wouldn't the child in my stomach also have hope?"

Because of this aroused ambition...

The lady immediately sent someone to send a message to Duke Henry, and made a shrewd request, saying that he was afraid that he would regret it in the future, and asked him to write a letter of commitment, sign and deposit it to her, so as to be a proof, and then she was willing to go. Help him to intercede with the king.

That afternoon, the letter of commitment was delivered.

So Mrs. Laureys dressed up carefully, put on paint, and curled her hair fluffy, and then she entered the palace charmingly.

Then, she said a lot of excuses for Duke Henry, and pleaded earnestly: "He loves me madly, so he did such a ridiculous thing. Think about it, Your Majesty, he He is your own brother, how could he do something rebellious without conscience? Don't listen to the words made up by other people, disregard brotherhood, and punish him!"

King Richard silently listened to her nonsense, only looked at her sharply, and then said softly: "Madam, you are going to fool me more and more now! Henry loves Never loved you? Only this point, I am afraid that both of us are clear in our hearts. It is rare for you to come here to intercede for him, so tell me, what good has he done for you? "

Although Mrs. Lauris is sometimes too simple-minded, she tends to overestimate her own charm.

But there is one good thing about her, that is, every time something happens to her, she has to go through it in one go, act coquettishly, foolishly, and mess around. What is it, so it is very worry-free.

Now, so does she.

Knowing that the king had seen through, he did not help Duke Henry hide anything, but told everything.

In the end, she pretended to be smart and smugly hinted: "Your Majesty, let him go first! He said he would marry me, and he would make the child in my womb as his heir. But you know, this child is actually yours."

King Richard was left speechless by her stupid words.

Moreover, he vaguely guessed that Duke Henry was probably using this silly woman to show his loyalty to himself and ask for his forgiveness.

Thinking of this, he was really too lazy to argue with Mrs. Lauris, so he just waved his hand to let her back away first.

Mrs. Laureys, thinking she had persuaded the king, went away very well.

In the evening, she heard from an informant in the palace that the king had recruited Louis, the illegitimate son of the Dressel family, into the palace to talk.

She became more and more complacent, thinking that the king must have gone to help her talk about the dissolution of the engagement.
