it hurts...

If it was all a dream, now is the time to wake up.

She floated up and down in the darkness, voices calling her name came from all directions, and then familiar faces appeared, including parents, relatives, classmates and friends.

The surrounding scene becomes an airport.

She pushed the luggage to say goodbye to her parents, and then boarded the flight to London. I don't know how long the flight took, but the sky outside was dark and bright, but she never arrived.

For the first time, I felt that home was so far away.

"Mom... I don't want to study abroad, I want to go home..."

"I'm not okay here..."

"I'm stupid... and cowardly..."

The sky turned pale, and the dawn light shone into the room through the octagonal windows. The candle that had been burning all night on the candlestick danced a few times before quietly extinguishing. It completed its mission at the last moment of its life, and the room gradually brightened.

There was a faint smell of alcohol in the air, as well as a hint of blood.

The face of the unconscious girl on the bed was pale, the black hair scattered on the pillow was messy and tangled, the clear and bright eyes were hidden under the closed eyelids, the weak breathing rose and fell gently with the chest, and the hoarse throat uttered intermittently. The babbling is a strange language...

Of the nonsense she spoke, there was only one word Elizabeth understood, and it was "mother," though in a strange tone.

Reaching out his hand, he brushed away the broken hair on her forehead. His deep gray-blue eyes were filled with worry, and thousands of thoughts were swirling in his heart. His eyes fell on his ring, and he sighed softly.

Here, too, lived her mother.

Last night's accident, she did not expect it, the crossbow|arrow was clearly aimed at her, and being able to pick such a day and time to do it shows that the planner had premeditated, and she was sure that she was unprepared.And the weapon used is a crossbow|bow with long range, high hit rate, and strong lethality, which can be fatal with a single blow.

However, there was no poison on the arrow, and it was only after killing two guards that the third arrow approached her body, and the speed was slowed down by the layers of veils that were torn off, and the lethality was greatly weakened. Otherwise, Jiang Xinyan should be a cold corpse by now...

Since he was planning to assassinate her, how could he make such a stupid mistake?

Raising his eyes, a smear of hostility surfaced in his eyes, faintly glowing like blood, his eyes touched the girl's pale and weak sleeping face, and turned into infinite gentleness, and he held her hand tightly.

The door opened a gap, and then slowly widened, Olo and Jane came in with a tray each, walked lightly, and walked to the bedside.Elizabeth didn't even lift her eyelids, and said calmly, "Put your things down and go out."

Jane glanced at the person on the bed worriedly, put down the tray, and lumbered out, but Olo didn't move.

"Don't you understand?" He frowned unhappily.

The twilight of the morning sun shone on Olo's face, without any fear, he picked up the bowl and sat by the bed: "Your Majesty, this is sugar water. Before she can eat independently, she can only drink this to maintain her body function. .”

As he spoke, he drank a small sip first, expressing that it was safe and non-toxic.

"Who exactly are you?"

"I am the youngest daughter of the Duke of Huttings, Olo. I played with His Majesty when I was a child, don't you remember?" The smile was bright and sweet, and it was hard to doubt her sincerity.

With a sneer, his questioning gaze was as sharp as a sharp edge, "I'm afraid, it's not as simple as what you said."

Last night, all the imperial doctors said that Jiang Xinyan was bound to die. It was the girl who asked to have a try after forcibly going forward to check the injury.

The premise is to ask to clear the venue, including her, the queen, who cannot stay, and provide daggers, spirits, white cloth and other things, and then close the door. After a long period of time, when the door is opened again, the room is full of wine and bloody smell...

She said, it's all right.

Elizabeth didn't know what she had done, but when she saw the girl on the bed sleeping peacefully, her breathing was weak but even, and she seemed to be all right.

"If Your Majesty is referring to my behavior, in fact, I just know some small ways to deal with trauma. Her injury is not serious. If the arrow is poisonous or a little deeper, I can't help it." The girl's gentle eyes Calm and full of sincerity.

The concerns have not been dispelled. Elizabeth knows that now is not the time to worry about this. She has more important things to make up her mind. Since this girl saved Jiang Xinyan's life, it seems that there will be no threat for the time being. There will be plenty of time to investigate.

Then she nodded, acquiescing to her feeding Jiang Xinyan with sugar water.

The sweet, transparent liquid slowly flowed into Jiang Xinyan's mouth. She seemed to instinctively open her mouth and swallow, but her frowning brows tightened even more, and her throat hummed from time to time.

Jane, who had just retreated, came back again. She stood at the door and did not dare to come in. She whispered, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Ashley is looking for you."

He held Jiang Xinyan's hand tightly, glanced at her pale face, remained silent, did not move, just about to say something, Olo said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there will be no problems with me here."

"She woke up and told me."

"Yes."

Reluctantly let go of his hand, got up, and walked out of the room.

Mrs. Ashley was pacing anxiously outside the door. When she saw the Queen coming out with a tired face, she quickly crossed her chest and went up to her: "Your Majesty...something happened..."

"Say."

"Just now a maid was found dead in the atrium. The skirt she was wearing was a gift from the French royal family. The imperial doctor identified the skirt as poisonous."

Chicking lightly, a cold light flashed across the bottom of his eyes, and said quietly: "You can't bear it anymore?"

"The maid was trying to wear your dress secretly, and it turned out... God, if you did, oh... God..." Mrs. Ashley trembled, her voice trembling, and she looked at her in horror.

"Let Walsingham come to see me." He stepped forward and walked to the study.

"Yes…"

The first ray of sunshine breaks through the clouds, and the sky is already bright. The damp and cold deposited by the rainy days seem to be dissipated and evaporated by this warm golden light.

The Thames River was busier than usual, and there was an endless stream of boats coming and going. It seemed that what happened last night was like a pebble sinking to the bottom of the river, submerged in the icy river water, silently.

Like a statue, Elizabeth stood quietly in front of the window, her wide field of vision allowed her to have a panoramic view of everything, but her heart lost her previous composure, and the cruel factor in her blood was burning, she wanted to kill someone.

This time, he was completely irritated.

"So it's just a coincidence?"

There was almost manic emotion suppressed in the steady voice, and no waves could be heard, but the young man standing behind her noticed the hidden meaning.

"Yes, it should have nothing to do with foreign forces."

"Should?" Turning around slowly, looking at the leader of the intelligence agency she trusted and relied heavily on, a violent black storm arose in her eyes: "Worthingham, you know, I hate hearing this word the most."

The man immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his head: "It's the trouble of some restless guys in the country, and the person they want to kill is Robert, not you, but I didn't expect that he is not by your side..."

According to the plan of the celebration, the people on the main ship should be the queen and Robert, but no one expected that she would leave her "lover" aside and bring a foreigner on board.

Obviously, the news of the assassin was not well-informed.

Suddenly recalling September, Cecil said that there was a conspiracy against Robert lurking in the city of London...

"The people I asked you to keep an eye on last time, how are you doing now?"

"No action at the moment." Walsinghan pondered for a moment, suddenly felt something was wrong, raised his head, "Your Majesty, we can..."

There was a strange light in the gray-blue pupils, and he looked at the young and excellent spy with admiration, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Use the assassination as an excuse, arrest those people immediately, the bigger the movement, the better."

Walsingham looked at her with understanding.

When he opened his eyes, he was still in the room at Hampton Court Palace.

A ray of sunlight came in from the window, causing her to frowned and narrowed her eyes. With a slight movement, she felt a sharp pain in her right shoulder, and she couldn't help moaning between her lips and teeth, "Hiss..."

"You finally woke up."

The clear and familiar mother tongue, Jiang Xinyan was stunned, his chaotic brain was muddled, and some messy and broken pictures vaguely passed by, there were boats, fire, airplanes, and parents...

Didn't she go home?Why are you still here?

"Where... my mother...?"

There was a trace of panic on the pale face, and the empty black eyes were out of focus, like a lifeless doll, confused and helpless.Olo stared at her for a long time, then turned away suddenly, his voice trembling: "I'm sorry, you didn't go back, and... you can't go back."

Desperation, red eye sockets, a surge of warmth, slipped quietly along the end of the eyes, it turned out that those pictures were all dreams...

In the dream, she flew for a long time, from day to night, from night to day, until she opened her eyes.All the pictures suddenly became blurred, and in just a few minutes, she was about to forget the dream, but the memory before fainting became clearer and clearer.

last night……

Suddenly, his eyes widened, he struggled to get up, and shouted in horror: "Someone is going to kill her! Someone is going to kill her..."

There was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and the warm wetness spread a scarlet color with the smell of blood. Jiang Xinyan lost all his strength and fell back. Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes again. I don't know if it was because of pain or worry.

"Don't move around, I managed to stop the bleeding for you..." Frowning, he hurriedly held her down, untied the white cloth and carefully inspected the wound, and it was indeed split.

"Where is she? Are you okay...?" Xiji's eyes contained tears.

This "she" is Elizabeth without guessing.

Olo glared angrily while re-bandaging, and said angrily: "With you as a human shield, what can she do? You still think about others at this time, and you are not out of danger yourself! The medical conditions here How about it, you know better than me, those idiot doctors are ashamed to call themselves doctors, tm will pull out your arrows without sanitizing their hands, I am really going to die of anger! Fortunately, you didn’t hurt your vitals, even if you didn’t lose blood So, what if you get infected?"

"..."

After being yelled at for a while, he was silent for a while, and whispered: "Thank you..."

"Let me tell you, are you familiar with that queen? How dare you block arrows from her? I don't know if you're out of your mind." She curled her lips, eyes filled with disdain for Elizabeth. Women are like two different people.

Dazed, he shook his head lightly, "I don't know either..."

The fragments of memory are only the mottled shadows in my mind, and the clear-cut face of that person emerges, every frown and smile are so vivid, it is no longer a boring text, but it is alive in front of my eyes, beside me, within reach...

She knew that she just fell in love with someone.
