The sun never sets rose

Back in the hall, the lively and noisy atmosphere remained undiminished. The band changed tunes again, and there were more and more dancing figures on the dance floor. Everyone who seemed to be dancing with their hearts was actually watching and listening to all directions.

Everything that happened just now was like a dream.

Darkness and light are intertwined in her heart, entangled in a mess of contradictions, she seems to be unable to comfort herself anymore, it has nothing to do with this world, her chaotic brain can't sort out her thoughts, and she doesn't know how to face it, is it embarrassing?Embarrassed?Or angry?

She didn't understand what Elizabeth meant...

Can't help but look sideways, looking at the throne, the two sides are decorated with a one-meter-high candelabra, the Tudor heraldry flag is hung in the middle, and red and white roses are carved on the back of the chair, which is a symbol of identity and blood. Close at hand, in fact, very far away.

And the crown, which represented the supreme power, shone with golden light under the bright candlelight. It was worn on Elizabeth's head, suppressing her thick reddish-brown hair that was like fire, and it was so cold in the eyes.

These are enough to draw an unreachable gap between them, not to mention the time and space that has been confused for more than 400 years.

Bitterness penetrated into my heart, but I could only force myself to smile...

Robert came over to invite the Queen to dance, and the latter readily agreed, put down his wine glass, handed him his hand, and stepped down the high platform leisurely, briefly and quickly glanced at the girl beside him, and suppressed his smile.

"Volt!"

Walking to the center of the dance floor, Elizabeth suddenly shouted a word, and the musicians in the corner immediately understood and changed the song.

The Volte dance originated from Italy and was popular in the Tudor period. It is characterized by the enthusiastic and light movements of the female partner in the dance partner, and the style of the music is bold and full of vitality. Some of the movements are relatively difficult and require a certain tacit understanding between the dance partners. degree to complete.

The music started, and the audience was silent. Everyone stopped talking and whispering, and stared at the pair of "gossip lovers", including Jiang Xinyan.

I couldn't help holding my breath, suddenly, time stood still...

Elizabeth had a smile in her eyes, and she never forgot to make eye contact with Robert. Sometimes their bodies were close together, and sometimes they were far away from each other. They danced gracefully with warm and brisk beats, like two flexible snakes, controlling those tacit understandings with ease. Full marks for the action, until the climax | tide of the whole song appears...

He picked her up, stayed in the air, and rotated gently.

The applause was more enthusiastic than ever. I don't know if it was applause for their perfect cooperation, or it was caused by gossip.

The faces of three women turned green at the same time.

Catherine, Amy, and... Jiang Xinyan.

I remembered the historical records: the queen loved Robert deeply all her life, and even if she couldn't marry him, she gave him unparalleled love. Even at the moment of her death, there was still the last letter written by Robert to her by her bedside. letter.

—Maybe one day, you will find that history has lied to you.

Full of bitterness overflowed his heart, but he was awakened by the words echoing in his ears, eager to vent the violent and surging emotions in his chest, Jiang Xinyan frowned and stood up, leaving the White Hall in a hurry...

Escape the depressive and noisy environment, and calm down your mind.

There is no moonlight tonight, and the whole city of London is immersed in a festive atmosphere. Every family gathers together to celebrate, and even the dull darkness is tinged with some joy.

She thought of the Spring Festival in her motherland. According to the lunar calendar, there are still about one or two months. Since she came to study in the UK, she rarely goes back. In her own words, it is to adapt to the living environment overseas more quickly.

But she misses home very much. On New Year's Eve night, she had a video call with her parents through the jet lag. She had to hold back her tears so hard that she would lie to her parents that everything was fine.

At that time, no matter how far the distance was, it was only a [-]-hour flight. I went to the hope of returning home after graduation, and I could survive no matter how difficult life was.

And here, she has nothing.

"Hey, we meet again."

Someone patted on the shoulder, and familiar and clear Mandarin Chinese came from behind. Jiang Xinyan turned around suddenly, and saw the figure like a fairy tale elf.

"Miss Olo, you really..."

"Yes, otherwise, how could I speak Chinese to you?" The girl smiled sweetly, and took her hand and patted it gently, "The first time I saw you that day, I had an intuition that you might be with me. It's not of this world either, it's just that our situation is a little different."

"I understand, the original owner of your body is not you..."

Olo nodded with a smile, took her arm, and walked side by side: "I have been here for more than two years. At the beginning, I couldn't speak the language and didn't know the history, so I just pretended to be crazy and fooled around. Anyway, I just need to be a duke. My daughter is fine, but you don’t seem to be able to?”

She bowed her head in silence, the darkness covered her face full of thoughts.

"Unfortunately, I don't know how to go back." Sighing, he stopped, and looked up at the night sky covered by clouds, "If you think about it from another angle, let's think of it as living again, anyway... It's already done."

These words seemed to hit Jiang Xinyan's tears, and the emotions that collapsed at that moment were vented with the surging tears. She hugged Olo like a lost child, and cried bitterly: "I also want to live with the situation... But...I know too much...I still..."

She wanted to say that she also fell in love with someone she shouldn't have liked.

Olo didn't know how to comfort her, and said that it was better to know history than to be blind-eyed like this. The past two years have been extremely difficult, but luckily she got used to it and accepted such a fate.

"It seems that the two are very familiar."

A familiar female voice suddenly sounded from behind, Jiang Xinyan was stunned for a moment, and quickly let go of Olo, and when he turned around, he saw a golden crown and Elizabeth's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. For some reason, she felt a little flustered.

"Your Majesty." Olo's sweet smile was like an angel.

He hooked the corners of his mouth, smiled lightly, ignored him, pulled up the girl next to her with her head down, turned and left.

The cold wind blew in, making Jiang Xinyan shiver all over. She couldn't notice her tear-stained face under the cover of the night, but she could feel the hand holding her tighter and tighter.

Elizabeth didn't take her back to Whitehall, but went directly to the room full of presents, stepped into this brightly lit place, and couldn't help replaying what happened just now...

Her first kiss, gone?

Still with a female fairy who is more than 400 years older than her.

"Robert is just my pawn." After a long silence, Elizabeth turned around slowly, her slender knuckles raised her chin, her eyes glanced at her reddish eyes, and she frowned deeply.

His fingertips gently slid across his cheeks, wiping away the wet tears for her.

Jiang Xinyan didn't understand what she meant. Is this explaining?

But...it's not necessary at all.

"He and I met in prison." Sighing softly, with a hint of helplessness between her brows and eyes, she brushed her soft black hair with her fingertips, "He helped me and was kind to me, although his father's conspiracy to usurp the throne is Capital crime, but it has nothing to do with him, besides, for some political reasons, I still need him for the time being."

Hearing the person he likes say that he needs another person, even though Jiang Xinyan is mentally prepared, he has to face the sourness and loss in his heart at this moment...

"But his wife is sitting there, you still..." Halfway through speaking, he stopped dangerously and lowered his eyes in annoyance, as expected, he still cared about this very much.

"There are some things that I can't tell you for now."

"Oh."

The candlelight was dim, reflecting the girl's face a little blurry, and the tightly pressed thin lips reminded her of the kiss just now, it was as pure and sweet as she imagined, it was the taste she liked, exactly.

Suddenly, the gray-blue eyes were coated with a layer of hot luster, and there was a trace of confusion flowing in the pupils. Five fingers inserted into the long black hair and slid down gently...

"Elizabeth."

"Ok?"

"Do you really want to convict that man?" Thinking of the unlucky partner you changed during the dance, you couldn't bear it, and raised your begging eyes cautiously, "It just happened to be him, he didn't do anything wrong, you Don't……"

"Do I look like a tyrant?"

Nodding seriously: "Yeah, very similar."

After a long while, Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, her dangerous tone penetrated into her eardrums, "If this is the case..."

His heart rushed to his throat, frightened.

"Celebration is with me, so I'll let him go." She raised her eyebrows and lowered her voice deliberately.

"..."

The cruise ship celebration is the finale of Christmas Eve.

There are more than a dozen flower boats parked on the Thames River, decorated with fake flowers of various colors, and a light gauze curtain hangs from the ceiling. Each boat is equipped with a boatman and two guards, and the guests in the boat must wear Put on a mask.

Originally, Jiang Xinyan did not participate in this activity, but after listening to the "threat" of a certain tyrant, she had no choice but to be led onto the largest and most gorgeous flower boat under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Lying on the soft pillow embroidered with exquisite patterns, I felt unspeakable anxiety and uneasiness in my heart, my palms were sweating all the time, and I didn't know what I was nervous about.

"Is it cold?"

There was a shadow around her, and when she raised her eyes, Elizabeth lay on her side with her head propped up, her gray-blue eyes hidden behind the mask revealed a gentle smile.

The light of the torches on both sides of the river is reflected on the river, as if it is burning hotly in the deep and dark water, scalding the pervasive smoke and dispelling the cold in the winter night.

Jiang Xinyan shook his head: "It's not cold."

Suddenly, the hand was held, like a ball of flames surrounded the ice, only to hear the breath getting closer and closer to the ear, said faintly: "Hands are so cold, you can't say it's cold."

Her body is cold, what can she do?

The anxiety in her heart was even worse. She didn't answer the words, and let Elizabeth hold her hand tightly. The feeling of ice and fire was just like her emotions at the moment...

"Can you let him go now?" Through the mask, still not daring to look directly into those sharp eyes, asked cautiously.

A trace of displeasure surfaced in her eyes, Elizabeth raised her hand to take off the mask, leaned her body down, and frowned, "Are you so concerned about the life and death of a stranger?"

"Because... he is innocent..."

Behind the mask, those dark as night eyes were full of fear, as if he was facing a devil, his heart was suddenly pulled by something, and the anger between his brows instantly dissipated, turning into a sigh: "I didn't intend to kill."

call……

Heaved a sigh of relief, just about to say thank you, the mask on her face was taken off by Elizabeth, who was caught off guard, revealing a panicked little face.

"You are afraid of me."

"No……"

- Boom!

The guards on the deck suddenly fell straight towards them, and the weight of the arrow's body pressed the veil off one by one, trapping them layer upon layer.

"what!!!"

"Protect Your Majesty! Protect Your Majesty!"

There were screams all around, and the rickety flower boats collided and bumped violently a few times. Jiang Xinyan was so frightened that her face turned pale. Before she could realize what happened, a cold light flashed in front of her, and she subconsciously He rolled over and pinned down the person next to him.

The severe pain from the sharp arrow piercing through the flesh tore the nerves, and instantly numb the brain consciousness. The warm and thick liquid splashed a strong bloody smell, and suddenly lost all strength, and fell heavily on Elizabeth...
