The sun never sets rose

Back at the palace, it was already noon, and Jiang Xinyan was hungry and looking for his wife everywhere, she felt that she couldn't wait until the evening to talk, and she had to say a lot of things immediately, otherwise her heart would always be uneasy.

Of course, Elizabeth's schedule is already full today.

I have been worrying about Little Rose for more than a month, and I have delayed many things, but with Cecil here, everything has not become chaotic.

"Who was the last one to successfully put down an Irish rebellion?"

"Earl of Essex, Your Majesty."

"Let him go again."

"He just came back not long ago." Cecil held the newly written proposal in his hand, and handed it over to show her to take a look, "And the reward you promised to him has not yet been fulfilled."

Elizabeth turned her head and said without raising her head: "What is the award? Money? Land? Beauty?"

"You can consider finding a wife for him."

"Then Lettice, get married before the end of the month at the latest, and then let him go to Ireland immediately, and I will appoint him as the governor."

"Ah... It's true that both of them are of marriageable age." Cecil's expression became subtle, and he said inexplicable words.

Stop what you're doing, raise your eyes, and glance at him: "Are you urging me to get married again?"

"No, Your Majesty, I just sighed casually."

"is it?"

"..."

"Okay, okay, I'll think about it, if you keep nagging, I'll cut your tongue." Elizabeth waved her hand irritably, handed the proposal back to him, and tugged at his curly beard by the way, "No It’s been revised, take it directly to the parliament, you just need to get rid of those guys in the House of Lords.”

Cecil took it and stood still.

"what happened?"

"You...are you really not gay?"

After a short silence, Elizabeth's face darkened, and she raised her arm as if to hit him: "I think you deserve to be beaten..."

"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang asks to see you."

"Let her in."

"Then I will take my leave first, and I hope His Majesty will consider the marriage carefully." Cecil took a step back and bowed in salute, stroking his beard leisurely, and did not forget to bother her before leaving.

Passing by Jiang Xinyan, he smiled politely at her.

When the daughter-in-law came, Elizabeth instantly changed her gentle face. Without saying a word, she hugged Little Rose into her arms and kissed her: "Xinyan, can we talk about it tonight, I'm very busy now, and I will..."

"No, don't say I'm uncomfortable."

"Okay, tell me." She kissed her forehead, eyes doting.

"Let me make a long story short. I don't blame you or me for many things that have happened in the past six months. Since it has passed, treat it as a dream. Let's give each other some time, respect and understand each other. In terms of feelings, we are On equal terms, I will not interfere in your official affairs in the future, and you are not allowed to interfere with my freedom. I promise to be loyal to you and not do anything that harms you and England, and you must also promise to trust me."

Jiang Xinyan spoke very seriously, but Elizabeth didn't seem to understand at all. A trace of confusion floated in her gray-blue eyes, and she repeated: "Freedom, equality?"

"Correct."

"Which aspect specifically?"

"Time, space and making friends." He lowered his eyes and counted with his fingers, fearing that she, an old antique, would not be able to understand, and then explained in detail: "Time freedom means when I want to do what I want to do, I have the final say, space freedom is When and where I stay is up to me, and freedom of making friends means that I have the right to choose who to hang out with, of course, the premise is that it does not conflict with your interests."

"That is to say, I can't control you?"

"almost."

"What about equality?"

"This equality does not mean status, but personality. You can despise me, but you can't insult and slander me. The same is true for you."

Elizabeth frowned, thoughtful, and did not express her opinion for a long time.

"Do you agree or not?"

"Liz...?"

"If you don't agree, send a boat to take me home. I don't want to stay in an invisible cage anymore." She pouted angrily, and unconsciously moved her body, trying to break free from her embrace.

Suddenly, the arms around her waist became tighter, Elizabeth leaned against her face, and sighed: "Don't... say in your heart, I surrender, can't I agree?"

It's impossible to send Little Rose home, and it's impossible in this life, and I don't know how to keep it. After all, I made a mistake first, so I had to show weakness in aggrieved way. She really has no dignity to be tossed about by this little wife.

"Then you let Olo go."

"Is this... related?"

Jiang Xinyan puffed up his cheeks, and said confidently: "She is my friend, the only friend here, and she poses no threat to you and England. She is so weak that you can kill her with a single word. You have no reason to have trouble with her."

After talking for a long time, it turned out that it was to plead for mercy. Even though Elizabeth compromised with Little Rose, the anger in her heart still lingered and lingered for a long time.

How can she let go of a person who almost kidnapped her daughter-in-law?

"Just let her go..."

"Xinyan, it is an irrefutable fact that she helped you escape. I don't have to pursue you, but I can't do it to her." After thinking about it, Elizabeth's attitude became tougher. She also had principles, but she just couldn't let go.

"I said it wasn't her fault! Why are you doing this!"

Jiang Xinyan was so angry that she punched her, but accidentally hit the wound bitten out yesterday. Elizabeth snorted and frowned.

"Liz..." hurriedly leaned over to touch her.

"Don't make trouble, Xinyan, I have pampered you as much as you said, respect each other, shouldn't you respect my position and decision?" He still didn't let go of his hand under the pain, and his tone was a little helpless.

I just know that my daughter-in-law loves her dearly, and bitter tricks can still be used.

The blood on the wound had solidified and scabbed, and it looked ugly. Jiang Xinyan kissed her lightly, her mouth was flattened, and her face was tangled up: "Then... don't lock her up in the Tower of London, change to something cleaner and more comfortable place..."

If someone else dared to order her like this, beat, scolded and threatened her, she would have gone to see God long ago, but Little Rose was different, she just wanted to pamper her, and there was nothing she could do.

"Okay, but you have to tell me what attracts you to Olo."

"..."

Jiang Xinyan rolled his eyes speechlessly, and after talking for a long time, it turns out that his wife still has a deep obsession with this.

"Then I told you, don't think about it."

"it is good."

Then she took a deep breath and said seriously: "Actually...she, like me, comes from the future world more than 400 years later. It's just that she doesn't know much about European history, so she can't predict anything."

"real…?"

"I didn't lie to you, otherwise why would she speak an oriental language? Because we come from the same world, the same country, and received the same education, we have a lot of common languages, just like your like-minded Protestant friends. .”

Elizabeth stared closely at her clear black eyes, as if she wanted to see through the eyes of the night to see through the soul inside, and finally found something - the difference brought about by the time gap between herself and herself.

Why do they love so hard...

Because of time?

She thought that after so long, Little Rose could adapt to the life here and the rules of the game in this world, but she didn't expect that there was a person hiding beside her who could always remind her of "hometown life".

In this way, it is even more impossible to stay.

"Liz?"

Looking at Little Rose's expectant eyes, her heart was struggling violently between softening and hardening. After a long time, she nodded slightly, hiding the trace of cruelty in her eyes, and kissed her face with a smile.

Then, he took a piece of thicker paper on the table: "Robert's verdict, I am planning to sign it, because he is a nobleman after all, he should be sentenced to beheaded according to the original crime, but I added a sentence of using witchcraft to confuse people, you can Let him be burned to death."

"Daughter-in-law is the best~"

After saying that, Elizabeth walked to the desk and sat down, signed her name smoothly and neatly, habitually making a dot of ink, like a small gesture, no one would think it was a means of anti-counterfeiting.

"The execution will be executed in the market square the day after tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to watch it? You can dress up as a commoner and let Walsinghan take you there." He raised his eyes and smiled softly.

Jiang Xinyan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "OK..."

Obviously she realized that she changed history. Robert Dudley, who was supposed to die of illness in 1588, was executed for his crimes in 1561. So, how much history will she change?

Perhaps, she will witness the rise of the "Empire on which the sun never sets" in the future.

Jiang Xinyan was in a good mood and decided to visit Eleanor. She took some gifts from her daughter-in-law's private storeroom and brought them, pretending to represent the queen to condolences to the minister's family.

It is true to say that Walsingham is a model worker. In order to make it easier to work, he specially moved his residence from another county to the outskirts of London. He lives in the palace when he is busy, and can often go home to spend time with his wife when he is not busy.

Only Eleanor and the servants were in the empty mansion.

"how are things?"

After dismissing the maid, Jiang Xinyan led Eleanor for a walk in the small garden, staring at her six-month-old belly. There was a feeling of... taking Elizabeth, who was pregnant with her own child, out for a walk.

Eleanor looked at her amusedly, took her hand and put it on her belly: "You can feel the baby moving, touch it."

This touch makes the feeling stronger...

The slight fetal movement could be felt through the fabric in the palm of his hand, and Jiang Xinyan couldn't help imagining that this was her and Elizabeth's child, full of wickedness.

"Be more careful when the month is old. Although I haven't given birth to a child, I used to take care of pregnant women when I was in my hometown. If you don't mind, I will come here often~"

"Okay, I'm hoping someone will accompany me." Eleanor was a little excited, and her smile was obviously a little more lively than Elizabeth's.

"Hey, doesn't Lord Walsingham come back often?"

Eleanor nodded, with a shy face on her face: "Yes, but after all, he is working for His Majesty, and he is very busy every day, so it is impossible for him to be with me all the time."

Thinking of his daughter-in-law saying that Walsingham would take him to watch the fire the day after tomorrow, Jiang Xinyan suddenly felt very guilty. Do you have to trouble others with such trivial matters?

"Your Majesty, this is called squeezing employees."

"what?"

Just as Jiang Xinyan was about to speak, there was the sound of horseshoes at the gate, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw the tall and generous figure of Worthinghan, who got off the horse neatly and walked towards this side.

Tsk, the squeezed employee is back.

"Fran!"

Eleanor yelled happily, and staggered over with her big belly. Jiang Xinyan hurriedly supported her, for fear that she would fall due to excitement.

"Why don't you rest in the room?" There was a trace of tension on his facial paralyzed face, he gently hugged his wife, and kissed her forehead.

"Xinyan came to accompany me, saying that taking more walks is good for the baby."

"Uh, Miss Jiang."

But what's wrong, the queen's little baby came to his house, if he didn't entertain him well, he would file a complaint when he went back, and his salary for half a year would be gone, and he would have to support his wife and children.

As he said that, Jiang Xinyan's eyes became more subtle.

"Hi..." Nodding embarrassingly, scratching my hair, "I'm just bored, that... By the way, I don't need to bother you to watch the day after tomorrow, I just go by myself."

Worthingham put his arms around his wife, with a puzzled look on his face: "Why?"

"You are usually very busy, such a trivial matter..."

Frowning with a paralyzed face, he looked at his wife with a hundred times gentle eyes: "Ella, I have something to say to Miss Jiang, can you go back and rest first?"

"Okay, let Xinyan eat here tonight."

"Ah."

As he spoke, he called a servant and helped Eleanor into the house.

The two walked around the pond without speaking. Finally, when the atmosphere became awkwardly silent, Walsinghan said, "Actually, Miss Jiang doesn't have to be so polite. It's part of my duty to protect you. What's more, I Never disobey His Majesty's orders."

"But……"

"I don't want to see His Majesty sad again, so please, Miss Jiang, always pay attention to protecting yourself and don't be too willful."

"..."

Why does this sound weird?

Jiang Xinyan curled her lips and teased casually: "Listening to Elizabeth like this, you don't like her, do you?"

For a long while, there was no sound, it was so embarrassing...

"This matter didn't bother me because..." After pondering for a while, Walsingham naturally changed the subject, "I hate Robert more than you, and I originally planned to watch his execution."

"Ah?? Did you two have a holiday?"

He hesitated and shook his head.

"..."

Jiang Xinyan felt that this person was acting strange today, but he couldn't tell why.

"I have long known about your relationship with His Majesty."

"??!!!"

"Although I am more inclined to support His Majesty in finding a husband that she can rely on, she will not be happy that way. She is already in jail, and her heart is occupied by too many conflicts of interests and power struggles. She has lost Many things, since she is capable of ruling a country alone, she should pursue her own happiness without affecting the overall situation, and William and I will escort her rule in this life."

His face was still paralyzed, but there was a turbulent wave in his eyes. He was like a brave and heroic warrior, with a passionate heart, but full of sadness.

What is he sad about?

"Your Majesty is protecting you in her way. No matter whether you accept it or not, this way will not change unless... she is no longer the queen." She looked sideways and looked at her calmly, with a serious and serious expression.

These words are full of hints, reminders and warnings.

"No longer a queen..."

Jiang Xinyan repeated it, and his eyes suddenly became hollow.

Then, it is impossible in this life.

What she wants is respect, equality and understanding.
