The sun never sets rose

Edinburgh, Palace of Holyroodhouse.

"What? Captured by the British army?!"

There was an exclamation in the empty hall, it was a girl's soft and sweet voice, Mary Stuart sat on the throne, her eyebrows were frowned, and she glared at the man sitting under her: "How did you do it! Let people be caught right under their noses!"

This is her secretary, David Riccio.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't expect England to send out troops. At that time, the entire border gate was blocked. We can't rush to fight with the English, so..."

"So the prophet who got it flew away at the door of the house!!" Annoyed and unwilling.

This time she came up with such a way, because the timing was too coincidental, Spain handed her an olive branch, she could no longer worry about Elizabeth's face, and get Jiang Xinyan to her side.

Originally, I didn't have too much hope for this, because the letter would be intercepted nine out of ten. If this method worked, everyone would be happy. If it didn't work, she wouldn't be afraid to annoy Elizabeth.

But it looks a little bit worse...

She was so angry that she couldn't sleep at night.

"Your Majesty..." Lizio said weakly, frowning: "Is that woman really a prophet?"

"Nonsense, she knows the oracle and can see through the future. If she is by my side, are you still worried that we won't overthrow that old man Knox? Hmph, not only Knox, but even England is mine." Mary gave him a blank look. , pouted slightly dissatisfied.

"But... worshiping prophets is idolatry. At present, the Protestantism in the country is huge. According to Earl Murray, we cannot offend Knox for the time being, and he hates Catholic idolatry the most. You..."

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know? It's perfectly fine to be a maid by my side, but it's meaningless to talk about it now, people are flying!"

Riccio silently shut his mouth.

"Your Majesty, the Earl of Murray begs to see you."

"Come in." Mary glanced at the door, then at her secretary, "You go down first."

"Yes."

The young and handsome man walked over slowly, passed by Rizio, ignored him, and bowed to the delicate girl on the throne: "Good day, Your Majesty."

As a half-brother, Earl Murray's appearance is as outstanding as his younger sister, and he is sought after by many wealthy ladies. The two brothers and sisters are quite alike.

But he is much smarter than his sister.

"Is there something wrong, Lord Earl?" Mary was still a little wary of this brother, so she might as well let it go in front of the secretary.

"I have bad news here..."

"Shut up, shut up, I won't listen!" I turned away irritably, and waved at him.

For her, there is no worse news than Jiang Xinyan flying in front of her house. She is almost bored to death, wronged and anxious, and her brother is here to add trouble at this time!

Seeing the queen's childish behavior, Earl Murray couldn't help laughing, a sly flash of slyness flashed in his shrewd eyes, and he said nonchalantly: "The Spanish ambassador just conveyed the news about the marriage to me. What Prince Carlos means is... ...think about it again."

"What?? Consider?"

"Ah."

Meimei raised her eyes slightly, and she was anxious: "What else are you considering? Isn't everything agreed? Does Spain think this marriage is not worthwhile? It's better than marrying a gay princess!"

"As for the rumor that Elizabeth is gay, there is no definite evidence so far, so it's hard to say, Your Majesty, are you sure Robert is reliable?"

"He's Elizabeth's lover!" Marie retorted with her head held high, her voice suddenly becoming sharp and thin, "He was unscathed in such a serious rebellion last time, which shows how much Elizabeth trusts him."

The count spread his hands, helplessly: "But that's what the ambassador said. I don't know what tricks the Spanish father and son are playing."

"It's over, it's over, if King Philip doesn't support us, then how can I deal with Elizabeth? How can I seize her throne? Besides, uh... nothing." Almost slipping the word "trafficking the prophet", Mary quickly changed her words and smiled perfunctorily. There was a look of anxiety in his eyes.

How did things turn out like this?

The prophet was not abducted, the ally's husband was gone, and she just offended her she-wolf cousin.

How would she stand against Knox?How to keep your throne?Protect Scotland?

Mary suddenly found that she was completely out of control of the situation...

"Your Majesty, it's actually very simple to deal with Elizabeth. You just need to find a husband who has the right to inherit the English throne and give birth to a son, and he will be able to own both the British and Soviet crowns at the same time." Earl Murray raised his eyebrows, hiding his smile Calculating, he found that this silly sister was easily guided into established thinking and was easy to control.

"Who?"

"Your cousin, Lord Durnley."

Mary frowned, stared at him suspiciously, and muttered, "Isn't he Elizabeth's courtier? Will the she-wolf agree?"

"Whether she agrees or not, as long as Lord Durnley is willing, we will naturally have a solution, but the premise is that this marriage must bring benefits to the Lord, and each needs to be balanced, isn't it?"

Suddenly, Mary remembered the "true prophecy" that Jiang Xinyan had told her: she would have a son named James, who would peacefully unify Britain and the Soviet Union.

From this point of view, the marriage with Lord Durnley was God's will.

"That's right..." Mary stared at the air and smiled idiotically, her expression suddenly became serious again, and she stared at her brother, "You just said that the Spanish ambassador conveyed to you? I am the queen. This kind of diplomatic matter is not Should you tell me!"

Again.

The count sighed helplessly, and said earnestly: "Mary, you are the queen, but you ask yourself, what have you been doing for so many days? Every day is either a banquet or a dance, dancing until midnight, and..."

"How dare you accuse me? I can do whatever I want, it's not your turn to teach me!"

"..."

London, Hampton Court Palace.

Jiang Xinyan thought that she would be thrown into the Tower of London. After all, she was escorted back by Worthingham like a prisoner. She was not given a carriage, and she was not given enough time to eat and rest. She was very wronged along the way.

I really want to report to someone...

"Miss Jiang, there are many offenses on the road these days, because I want to send you back to His Majesty as soon as possible, so there is no delay." Entering the gate of the palace, Walsinghan untied the iron chain on her hand.

This man is also a shrewd man. I'm afraid she won't succeed in suing?

Jiang Xinyan curled her lips, ignored him, buried her head in rubbing her wrists that were rubbed red by the iron chains, and followed behind in a grievance, walking through the familiar outer garden, her legs became heavier every step she took, she knew who she was going to see , because I know it, so I don't want it.

"Miss Jiang, please."

In front of the study, across the thick and gorgeous door, Jiang Xinyan took a deep breath quietly, feeling unprecedentedly calm, as if she knew that she would come back eventually and give an explanation.

The guard opened the door for her, and she straightened her back and walked in.

The door was gently closed behind her, she stood there, her eyes were slightly squinted by the bright light outside the window, a figure appeared in her hazy vision, she heard hurried footsteps, and the sound of breathing close to her ears, until , into a familiar embrace.

A demonic voice called her name in the dream, trembling cautiously, she was tightly held by a pair of slender arms, and she felt the complex emotions rushing towards her, including surprise, caution and panic.

"Finally it's not a dream anymore, Xinyan..." Suppressed sobbing in a low voice, the tone of the tone is the joy of regaining the lost, the lips pressed against the soft cheek beside the ear, and pressed a kiss lightly.

However, the next second, Jiang Xinyan pushed her away violently.

--Snapped!

After a crisp and loud slap, Elizabeth's face quickly spread numb pain, she tilted her head, froze, looked at her in disbelief, and then received another slap.

"My heart..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Xinyan stared angrily, and roared angrily: "Now I'm standing in front of you, kill or cut whatever you want! Stop pretending to be pitiful to me! I won't do what you do! Hypocritical tyrant !"

The two slaps took all her breastfeeding strength, and the slaps made her hands hurt.

If it weren't for the pitiful look at this woman crying, it would be so simple?Beat her teeth out!

It seems that there is a real fire of samadhi spurting out of the seven orifices...

Elizabeth knew why Little Rose was so angry, she stood there quietly with lowered eyes, neither defending nor refuting, even though her cheeks were already swollen with bright red five finger marks, she was in pain and embarrassed.

"Xinyan, if you feel uncomfortable, you can continue to fight, but after the fight, can you listen to my explanation?"

"I don't want to hear it! Let me go or kill me!"

Hot tears rolled down her red and swollen cheeks, and Elizabeth was aroused by these words to panic in the deepest part of her heart, and quickly hugged Little Rose tightly in her arms, not letting go even though she struggled violently.

Then, Jiang Xinyan bit her bare shoulder.

The severe pain made Elizabeth twitch all over. She frowned and gasped lightly. She tried to hold back her silence, which made Jiang Xinyan even more annoyed. She bit down hard, and a bloody smell suddenly seeped into her mouth...

Dazed, she subconsciously let go, and caught a glimpse of two rows of teeth marks deeply embedded in that piece of fair skin, with bright red blood dripping out.

There was a "thud" in my heart, and I was a little panicked, but I saw Elizabeth trembling in pain, fine thin sweat oozing from the forehead, and punched her on the back in desperation, cursing: "Stinky woman! Damn woman! Just forget about it! !"

"I didn't write Mary's letter to you." Panting, as if forgetting the pain, Elizabeth only wanted to explain quickly, and tried her best to control her choked-up crying.

"What did you say?"

"Xinyan, things are a bit complicated... Originally, it was Mary who had been trying to get you to her side, but she promised to maintain a peaceful and friendly relationship with England. She couldn't directly grab you, she could only find a way to let you Take the initiative to go there, remember the letter I wrote to her when she was in France? From then on she knew she could take advantage of this, it was my fault, I..."

"You said you didn't write the letter, what about the evidence?!" Countless possibilities and thoughts vaguely appeared in her heart. Jiang Xinyan's question was not so straightforward, as if she had hit a little bit of luck in her heart.

How much she had wished the letter was a forgery.

However, the letter paper, handwriting, coat of arms, and signature all restore all the traces of this woman. In addition, she has a criminal record, how can she not believe it?

That trace of luck is still there, so he was picked up so easily.

Elizabeth nodded quickly, holding her arms for fear of running away, walked to the desk, and flipped through the documents and drafts that she had signed: "Look, every time I sign, I randomly dot an ink dot, which is double security, only I And Worthingham know, as for the letter paper and handwriting, it is too easy to forge, and the coat of arms, Mary once claimed to be the king of England and used my coat of arms, you know that."

The fingertips that scratched the paper trembled inadvertently, and a drop of salty tears fell heavily on it, blurring transparent spray.

Signatures are really different every time.

His mind was in a mess, Jiang Xinyan was dumbfounded, and raised his head: "Then what's going on in Spain? Your marriage?"

"It's just a cover."

Seeing that Little Rose's heart was shaken, Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief. She held her tighter and tighter in her arms, and slowly told the whole story in a strong nasal voice mixed with extreme panic, her gray-blue eyes kept dripping. Tears, drop by drop, hit her neck.

For a long while, Jiang Xinyan was deep in thought, silent for a long time.

So did she misunderstand her?

So has she always been self righteous?

"Xinyan, I know I was wrong about what happened before. I am sorry for you, but I swear that I will never sacrifice you to protect myself, even if the price I pay is war." Lips stained with tears kissed the fragrant behind the ear Hair, Elizabeth gently closed her eyes, and carefully felt the body that she thought about day and night. There were bursts of severe cramps in her chest, and her face and shoulders repeatedly tormented her fragile nerves at the moment.

Jiang Xinyan felt the heat in his eyes, forced to hold back, and said sullenly: "England or me, which one do you choose?"

This kind of question seemed very vexatious, but she just wanted to ask.

I thought that Elizabeth would hesitate and refuse to answer, but she said almost without thinking: "I am a duty to England, and I am love to you. The two are not contradictory, and there is no comparison."

"..."

She was convinced by this answer.

"Hmph, dead woman, don't think that I'll forgive you just like this!" Jiang Xinyan stared stubbornly, but refused to show weakness. Only by staying strong can he win the right to speak, and only then can he firmly control this tyrant.

"Words...?"

"Or... you can slap me twice, or stab me once more, you can vent it however you want, I promise not to resist." Elizabeth carefully held her chin, and wanted to lean in to kiss her, but unexpectedly, she was slapped Shot back.

"Xinyan..." It seemed that the wronged little woman was acting like a spoiled child.

"If you promise me a few conditions, I will forgive you!"

"Okay, you say."

Jiang Xinyan pursed her mouth, raised her fingers, and counted: "First, execute the perpetrator Robert at the stake! Second, you are not allowed to participate in the French Civil War! Third, release Olo!"

"I can promise you the first two, but Olo, I won't let it go." Frowning, thinking of the traitor's daughter helping Little Rose escape, she became angry.

Even if she can show weakness in front of her lover, Elizabeth still has her principles as a king. What's more, there is a group of pent-up anger in her heart that urgently needs to be burned and vented, coupled with her nervousness towards Little Rose, she can't let that girl go no matter what.

Jiang Xinyan was angry, raised his eyebrows, and shouted: "Why? Olo was also deceived, it's none of her business!"

"I said no and no."

"Elizabeth! Damn woman!" Little Rose burst into fury, pinching her ears for a while in anger. In the end, it wasn't enough. She slapped her head with her fists and screamed at the top of her voice, "If you dare to fight against O What Luo does, I will never forgive you! I have to run away from home! Hate you for the rest of my life!!"

"My heart..."

"Ahhh! Dead woman! I won't listen!"

No matter how patient Elizabeth is, she should be angry after being beaten by her daughter-in-law to speak for others. She grabbed Jiang Xinyan's two insignificant hands, crossed them, her expression gradually became cold, and her tears had dried up. There was a hint of ferocity in the gray eyes: "Do you know that you betrayed me by fleeing to Scotland? Taking a step back, even if it wasn't a betrayal, you two idiots rashly went to the enemy's country without knowing that it was a trap. Go to die, or wait for Mary to use you to blackmail me? Jiang Xinyan, do you really know that you have a lot of weight in my heart?!"

"You are an idiot! The letter is so similar, blame me?!"

"I'm really going to be pissed off by you. How many times have I said that Mary is my political enemy, don't associate with her, don't, don't, don't! You still write to her? Don't you have a little bit of responsibility for this matter? I really regret that I didn't let Walsingham send someone to spy on you! Just to let you be completely free! I didn't expect to create a chance for you, a little idiot!"

Elizabeth was also furious. When she thought that her little Rose would almost enter the wolf's den, she felt so distressed that she wanted to spank herself and beat up this disobedient girl.

"You murdered me..."

I was wronged, but I couldn't scold her, so I had to use my trump card. Jiang Xin flattened her mouth and complained aggrievedly.

It's a pity that the road is one foot high, and the devil is one foot high.

Elizabeth's eyes were slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "My heart... I have been wronged like this, do you still want to fight with me? This time we are even, okay? I really can't lose you anymore..."

As he said that, he turned his face away, covered his face and sobbed, his fragile appearance was even more distressing.

"..."

Jiang Xinyan sighed helplessly.

Why can't she get rid of her soft heart?

Of course, it's only for the daughter-in-law.

"Then...then let's take a step back. You don't have to let Olo out, but you're not allowed to abuse her. Give her a better private room, eat and drink well, and don't hurt her family."

"it is good."

Elizabeth agreed straightforwardly, a trace of treachery flashed in her eyes, coaxing Little Rose was more important than anything else, and as for that traitor, it would not be too late to find a crime and kill him later.

"Don't cry anymore." Jiang Xinyan said, moving faster, hurriedly reached out to wipe his wife's tears, "What does it sound like a queen is crying all day long, really, dead woman, huh."

"Why am I still a 'dead woman'?"

"That's right, what I said, what's the matter!" He stared fiercely and raised his little head.

"Well, I'm a 'dead woman'..."

"Wash up tonight and wait for me on the bed!"

"???"

"Cao | crying for you, hum!"
