The sun never sets rose

The days of recuperation are quite boring.

On the third day when Elizabeth went to Yorkshire, the palace without the queen became lifeless, with no ministers coming in and out, only the royal guards still patrolling every day, not daring to slack off.

The sky outside the octagonal window was overcast, like a storm that was about to fall. Jiang Xinyan obediently stayed in the room to recuperate from his injuries, with only a limited range of activities. If Olo didn't come to talk to her every day, she really doubted that she would be killed Suffocate.

"Wrong drawing, the aorta is this..."

Two girls of similar age were leaning against the desk, drawing a picture of blood circulation crookedly on the spread white paper. Jiang Xinyan held the pen and hesitated for a long time before finding a certain position on the picture.

In the past two days, she has become more and more familiar with Olo, and learned that his parents in the previous life were doctors. No wonder she always feels that she is very caring and professional. Although her medical knowledge is limited, she is more than enough to deal with minor illnesses and pains. .

She was very grateful to think that her life was saved by Olo.

It was also through the trauma of being shot by an arrow that Jiang Xinyan realized that if he wants to live relatively safely in this era, it is necessary to understand some common sense of medical care.

"Oh, I'm dazzled by so many blood vessels." Putting down the pen, he carefully raised his arms and rubbed his neck, afraid of touching the wound.

Olo reached out to help her rub it together, and rolled his eyes: "This is the foundation, your high school biology teacher left early?"

"..."

There is a book "Human Structure" on the table, which was written by a Belgian doctor named Andre in this era. In the environment where the church regarded dissection of the human body as a crime of evil, he dared to challenge the secular world to break taboos and smuggle autopsies Research, making great contributions to the progress of human medicine, is really remarkable.

Olo also thought that this book was reliable, so he brought it here. After all, it has the basis of human anatomy, which is better than those quack doctors who use animals as subjects for anatomy experiments and then apply them to humans, right?

Jiang Xinyan was startled when she first read this book, and then felt like a treasure. She thought that all doctors in this era only knew bloodletting, vomiting and teppanyaki...

"I'm a liberal arts student. It's fine for you to ask me to recite 5000 years of the world, ocean currents, and trade winds, but this..."

"It's very simple, just draw it a few more times." As a science student, Olo didn't want to hear her complain at all, so he took a new piece of paper, "I'll draw it again for you to see, here, the arteries of the systemic circulation Oxygen-rich blood travels from the left ventricle through the aorta..."

While drawing and explaining, Jiang Xinyan listened very carefully. She didn't have Elizabeth's bright mind, so she had to be diligent and serious, but now she was distracted.

She was thinking about that woman again...

In fact, wanting to study medicine is not all for myself. I remember that the historical materials I have read clearly record that Queen Elizabeth I of England was unfortunately infected with smallpox virus in 1562, and her life was dying. The ministers were in a hurry.

Although the queen later recovered on her own, she was offended a lot, and she felt distressed when she thought about it.

"Olo, do you know... how to cure smallpox?"

"What?"

"smallpox."

The girl pinched her chin and thought for a while, then frowned: "Isn't that an infectious disease? It seems that my dad told me that it was just popular science. He didn't say how to cure it, and this disease has been eradicated in modern times, so I don't know. "

"Then... did uncle say how to prevent it?" With a glimmer of hope in his arms, he looked at her expectantly.

"Get vaccinated."

Saying is the same as not saying.Jiang Xinyan sighed in disappointment, where is she going to research vaccines?Even the technology of vaccinating had to wait until the 18th century to be invented. Should she just watch Elizabeth experience the pain?

"Please, my dad is a neurosurgery surgeon who opened people's heads, and he doesn't know how to treat infectious diseases. Besides, there is no smallpox outbreak now, so what are you worried about?" Olo propped his head on one arm, leaning on the table Looking at her with squinting eyes and amused, she didn't have the appearance of a lady like a duke's daughter.

"Just in case, who knows when the plague will come..."

"Then there is no other way, it's all life." With a long sigh, he lay down on the table and slid his fingertips along the direction of the blood vessels on the drawing, with a helpless look in his eyes.

She doesn't know the history, doesn't know what will happen in the future, and she didn't believe in fate before, but since she came to this world, she has to believe and accept it little by little, whether life or death is fate.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little sad. Jiang Xinyan lowered her head, said nothing, and her thoughts were messed up. If it is fate, she has probably accepted it slowly. At least, in this era, there is something that makes her caring person...

"By the way, my real name is Xiao Yi. In private, you can call me Xiao Xiao." The girl's sweet smile was like an angel.

Dazed, his eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded, "Okay, you can also call me Xinyan."

They looked at each other and smiled, stretched out their hands and clapped lightly.

Sometimes Jiang Xinyan would think that she was both unfortunate and lucky. Fate made her wander in a chaotic time and space, but she met a friend who shared the same illness as her. It was like stopping wandering, so she could feel more at ease.

Robert's residence next to Whitehall was the most luxurious in the whole palace except the Queen's bedroom, even surpassing Cecil, the chief minister of state.But he has another residence in the city of London, and he doesn't stay there all the time, depending on the Queen's enthusiasm for him.

During this time he was again neglected.

For the well-arranged Christmas dinner, ball and celebration, he should have played the role of accompanying the queen. For this reason, he did not hesitate to leave his wife alone and flirt with the queen in front of so many nobles and envoys, while at the ball a Qu Fuerte directly made him the most favored man in the court again.

Unexpectedly, the limelight was still robbed by that foreign girl, and the robbing was really timely. Who knew that he would be assassinated. If he was on that ship at that time, wouldn't he have died long ago?

Some people said that the target of the assassination was the queen, and some said it was him, but in any case, the queen's reaction afterwards was enough to prove that she cared about him.

Oh, what joyful news.

Robert leaned on the comfortable reclining chair, sipped tea with a gold cup in his hand, and hummed a little tune with his legs up, looking leisurely like a countryman.

The attendant led a little girl in and closed the door. He put down his wine glass and showed a naughty smile, "Jane, long time no see? Come here."

Then he waved to her.

Jane walked over obediently with her head down, and saluted him, "My lord."

"Tell me, what's the news?"

She shook her hand covering the package, twisted it nervously around the linen material, hesitated for a while, then handed the package over, and whispered: "Miss has drawn a lot of this these days... I can't understand the writing next to it. What is the word..."

He couldn't wait to take it and opened it. It was a human body drawing and a heart structure diagram, with square characters like spell symbols written beside it. Although he didn't understand the words, he could understand the diagram.

In an instant, his face changed greatly...

The picture probably meant to dismember the human body. He immediately thought of the legendary devil who ate human corpses and drank human blood. He was shocked and even surpassed the joy of being caught.

Is that foreign girl really a witch?

"She's been drawing this recently? Has she been in contact with anyone?"

Jane stared at the blueprint in his hand, and was also very scared. She couldn't figure out why Jiang Xinyan had such evil thoughts, so she said truthfully: "It was drawn after His Majesty left the palace. Miss never left the room, only Miss Olo Will come to talk to her, but..."

"what?"

"I don't understand the language they speak, and Ms. Olo can draw this kind of picture..." The tone was a little crying. I don't know if it was because I was afraid of this kind of thing, or because I was forced to betray Jiang Xinyan.

Afterwards, Robert fell into deep thought.

He kept the posture of looking at the picture motionless, but his brows were furrowed more and more tightly.

Suddenly, he smiled, very comfortably.

"My lord..."

"Ok?"

"Miss, she..." paused, her tangled face wrinkled, "Is she really a witch?"

Robert raised his eyebrows and raised the blueprint in his hand, "What do you think? She is not only a witch, she is even more terrifying than a devil. Now you know that what I asked you to do is right?"

"But……"

Thinking of Jiang Xinyan's kindness to her, I couldn't believe it.

Different from the direction of her thinking, Robert focused on the relationship between Jiang Xinyan and Olo, and had to think of the twice-exiled Duke Huttings.

I heard that the duke lived an ordinary life in Calais, married a French woman, and never made any noise. He has lived in seclusion for so many years, and he was called to return to China this time. He could not be more low-key. Jiang Xinyan Flattery, there is no reason.

Puzzled, he temporarily gave up the pursuit.

"Go back first, continue to observe, and tell me immediately if you have any news." He waved his hand and returned the drawings to her, "By the way, these are evidences. Didn't she just say that she drew a lot, you keep two as background, don't Give her a chance to destroy."

Then he got up, took a bag of gold coins and threw it over, "Your reward, I said that as long as you are obedient, the benefits will not be less."

"Yes…"

Jane took the drawing with trembling hands, picked up the purse, raised her eyes and asked cautiously, "My lord, my brother..."

"Don't worry, they're fine." With a soft and evil smile on his handsome face, Robert snorted lightly, picked up his coat and walked away.

These few days the queen is not in the palace, and Leticia has also left. He can't flirt and flatter, and he is full of desire. He should go out and find a woman to vent.

Back in the house, there was a messy and irregular sound of the piano. Zhen tiptoedly took the blueprints in her arms and stuffed them into the bottom of the cloakroom cabinet. Normally, Jiang Xinyan would not come in here, and she would come here for whatever dresses she wanted to wear. Take it, so this place is still safe and hidden.

After hiding the drawings, she breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the sweat on her forehead, calmed down her tense heartbeat, and pretended nothing had happened.

"Jane? Where have you been?"

Jiang Xinyan came out with an old lute in his arms, his face full of excitement, "I want to learn to play this lute, ask Mrs. Ashley if she can find a musician to teach me."

"OK……"

The little girl looked a little unnatural, she nodded hurriedly and went out.

Jiang Xinyan was stunned for more than ten seconds. I don't know if it was an illusion. The way Zhen looked at her just now seemed to be a little...frightened?
