The sun never sets rose

The Tower of London, a famous fortress-style prison, was built in 1078. It used to be the palace where the British kings lived. Mainly used to hold political prisoners.

To be imprisoned here can be said to be a compliment to them.

Passing through the deep and lengthy dark passage, a damp and cold air rushed towards the face, and the turbid air was filled with a thick and disgusting musty smell. The gray and white tall stone wall was dark and dark, only the burning fire on the wall The torches in the house gave off a dim yellow light, like ghosts.

It is rumored that the Tower of London is haunted. The most famous ghost is Queen Anne Boleyn.

The wind blew by, and it seemed that I heard crying.

They were escorted one by one by the guards into the depths of the tower, and Jiang Xinyan had goosebumps all over her body. Compared with fear and physical discomfort, what made her more uncomfortable was the words she heard.

What is "by His Majesty's order"?

Little did she know that Elizabeth hated her so much.

And it all happened so suddenly...

As they were walking, Worthingham, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, turned around, and gestured to the guards behind, and they escorted Jane to another fork in the road.

"Miss...you don't hurt miss...it's none of her business..." The cries were endless, but they were quickly drowned at the end of the dark and deep passage. The little girl already knew what was going on in her heart.

Sooner or later there will be such a day, and now, it has come.

"Where are you taking her?" Jiang Xinyan, forgetting that she was restrained by two guards, was eager to catch up, and her arm was twisted so painfully.

Worthingham did not answer her, but took her back the same way, walked to the stone door that he had just entered, there was a small room on the left, he whispered a few words to the guard guarding the door, and the latter opened the room. Door.

"Miss Jiang, please."

Raising her hand, signaling her to go in, the two guards let go of her arms knowingly, and left with the gate guards.

Looking at him suspiciously, even though he was very scared, he still walked in slowly and bravely. The room was small and well lit, not as dark and oppressive as inside the tower. There was a simple wooden table and two chairs in the room. .

Walsinghan closed the door and walked to the table, pulled out the chair for her, motioned for her to sit down, his serious face softened, "I'm sorry for scaring Miss Jiang just now, please cooperate with me in a simple interrogation investigation, Someone will take you back to the palace after it's over."

A layer of mist appeared in those dark eyes, which soon suppressed again. Jiang Xinyan nodded with red eyes. The tension and fear had made her lose her ability to think, and she realized that she was so afraid of death.

Picking up the pen and paper on the table, he said slowly, "Do all the things found in your room belong to you?"

Anatomy charts, a book on human body structure, and... two weird books, she didn't even know what was written in them.

"The drawings... I drew them... and the book on human anatomy..."

"Where are the other two banned books?" Trying to soften his voice, this is also the queen's instruction, he can't scare the lady.

Jiang Xinyan shook his head blankly, his voice trembling with nervousness: "I don't know...I can only speak my mother tongue and English...The words in that book don't seem to be English words..."

"Then why did you draw those pictures?"

"Because..." Dazed, she suddenly realized, as if she understood why, she remembered what Olo said and Elizabeth's warning.

That woman is a natural actress, she pretended not to pursue it in front of her, and secretly began to brew such a farce. Perhaps, she never believed her, and hated her for a long time. Today, she finally has a perfect Excuses to send her away.

Why bother so much.

It's just that I'm too stupid to fall in love with such a hypocritical and insidious woman...

—Then do you want to be executed?

He closed his eyes in despair, let the heart-piercing tears flow down his cheeks, suffocated his nose and stagnated his breathing, his body trembled violently, tasted a salty taste in his mouth, and finally couldn't help crying bitterly.

Just kill her, just kill her...

Walsinghan was overwhelmed by her sudden emotional breakdown, so he had no choice but to make up the record. No matter what confession Jiang Xinyan said, what he recorded was what the queen instructed him to write.

He didn't know if the girl was a witch, but the one locked up inside had to be.

The things that were found were neatly placed on Elizabeth's desk, a stack of anatomical diagrams she had read, a medical book on human body structure, a piece of paper full of "prophecies", and two books related to Catholicism. Banned book, written in Italian.

The slender knuckles pinched the paper tightly, and rows of crooked letters and vocabulary reflected in her gray-blue pupils. The so-called "prophecy" was just what Jiang Xinyan once said. evaluation of.

The little girl stringed these perfect and gorgeous comments into sentences and articles, as if she had witnessed her ups and downs in her life through the eyes of God.

- In 1587, Elizabeth I executed Mary, Queen of Scots.

——In 1588, Elizabeth I led the English navy to defeat the Spanish "Invincible Fleet" and became the overlord of the sea.

——In 1603, Elizabeth I died at Richmond Palace at the age of 70.

Seeing this, she suddenly smiled.

It turns out that she can live to be 70 years old...

The girl's clear and bright black eyes, warm and innocent smile, and that kind and tolerant heart can't help appearing in my mind.

"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang brought it here."

The guard's announcement interrupted her thoughts, she raised her eyes, and that slender and petite figure came into view.

I haven't seen her for many days, she seems to have lost weight, her small face is pale, her slender body is like a piece of paper, she stands there quietly, as if a gust of wind can blow her away, those pure and dark eyes have lost their former glory, dull and lifeless, Wet tears hung from the corners of his eyes, faintly showing numb despair.

The heart was stabbed severely, and blood flowed out.

Frowning, he got up and walked over, hugged her into his arms, took a deep breath, impatiently stroked her thin face with his fingertips, slid into her soft and long hair along the bony outline, the touch was wonderful. It was as smooth as before, but it was the taste she missed the most.

However, the next second, the person in his arms pushed her away.

"Your Majesty is of the noble blood of the royal family, don't be tarnished by me, a witch." She spoke softly, expressionless, and her calm tone was filled with sarcasm and despair.

What a vengeful little girl...

"I said that to Robert." With a helpless smile, looking at the girl's defensive eyes, I felt an unprecedented loss, "I have been letting Walsingham monitor Robert. He told me last month that Robert Helped two commoner boys escape the draft and frequented that family, do you know why?"

He tilted his head and said nothing, wanting to escape, but roots took root under his feet.

Elizabeth took half a step towards her, and took a deep breath again: "Those two boys are Jane's younger brothers. Robert bought her a long time ago, or in other words, controlled her family and asked her to work for him. What I do is to report news about you regularly."

"..."

"Jane has shown Robert the anatomical diagrams you drew. She was also ordered to release the two banned books of heresy that were found in your room. At yesterday's meeting of the Privy Council, Robert united several courtiers, Accuse you of being a witch, and ask me to deal with you immediately."

Shocked, I can't add it...

Jiang Xinyan looked up at her, trying to find a trace of falsehood through those lying eyes, but there was nothing, she only saw the pity and sadness in the gray-blue pupils, which came from this proud queen.

Terrible, she began to waver uncontrollably again.

Do not compromise with tyrants, even if these words are true.

However, the tears that finally dried up flowed out again, and her black eyes that had been repeatedly washed by tears became blurred again. She knew that she believed Elizabeth's words, and believed without hesitation, no matter how swearing and firmly she told herself before, She was a hypocritical and unreliable woman, and she was no match for the pleasure of unraveling all grievances and doubts at this moment.

This cognition made her even more desperate, because she suddenly realized that she might never be able to escape the shadow of Elizabeth, which was planted in her heart and took root...

He put his arms around her waist, rubbed his chin lightly against the tarnished black hair, and closed his eyes: "I won't let his scheme succeed, let alone let you get hurt, but give me some time to deal with it, okay?"

The slightly cool lips brushed against the pinna, wanting to kiss her.

Jiang Xinyan turned her head away and tried to struggle, but the two arms around her waist were so powerful that they seemed to be hidden in the slender skeleton and would burst out at any time, which reminded her of the day when she was put on the horse.

"let me go!"

It's so cute with a hard face.

Being ignored, she was so angry that she shouted: "You tyrant is a liar! Crazy! I won't be fooled by you, you... um..."

The coolness spread on her lips, and the entangled and gradual breath blocked all the words she wanted to say. There was a strong demand that exploded after being suppressed for a long time. The increasingly rapid breathing lingered between the lips and teeth, and only the restless heartbeat echoed in the eardrum...

However, Jiang Xinyan bit it down.

A tooth mark suddenly appeared on her lips, Elizabeth let go of her helplessly, and twisted her ear punitively, "You are so courageous?"

"How? Who told you to let me out, didn't you want to catch me and kill me? Kill, kill, save me from being angry with you!" He raised his head and stared at her fiercely, but his face turned red like a monkey butt.

"Stupid, how could I really let you into the Tower of London?" A doting smile welled up in her eyes, her arms hugged her tightly, and she loved to see this little girl who was too angry to talk back to her.

Just about to lose her temper and scold her, she suddenly remembered something, and said in horror, "Where's Jane? Why didn't you let her out?"

"She will be judged and then executed." She said calmly, her tone indifferent.

She will never push Jiang Xinyan out of this so-called "witch" incident, but she can't let it go completely. She always has to give an explanation to those noisy nobles, and the best way is to find a scapegoat. Now there are ready-made ones. Besides, in her opinion, that maid deserved what she deserved.

"Why? She was also threatened..."

"Anyone who hurts you will die." His eyes were slightly cold, he let go of her arms, turned around and walked back to the desk, with his back to her, as if he didn't want to see some kind of emotion in his eyes.

"Elizabeth..."

Trembling, she called out the name she hadn't called for a long time, and she suddenly knelt down, looking up at the tall and slender figure, "I know what she did was wrong, but I choose to forgive her, she has been taking care of me for the past six months, I've always treated her like a younger sister, everyone makes mistakes, and she really didn't mean to hurt me..."

I finally understood why Jane cried and said to her, "Don't forgive her." This incident was caused by herself from the beginning, and even if it had to be dealt with, it should be shared by the two of them.

"Please...don't let her die..."

The five fingers hanging by her side gradually clenched into fists, and every word accompanied by sobs hit Elizabeth's heart heavily. This girl really... only thinks about others, and doesn't understand her difficulties at all.

"Get up." Turning around, holding back, "I'll just say it once."

"You promised me to let her go..."

The suppressed anger accumulated in his chest, igniting the irritability in his eyes, and his voice dropped to freezing point: "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

"No..." He replied in a low voice, looking at her timidly.

After being silent for a while, looking directly at the embarrassed and wronged face, finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and growled: "Get out."

"..."

"roll!"
