The sun never sets rose

There is one thing that Jiang Xinyan has always wanted to do because she was inspired by "Arsenic|Frost Whitening". She wanted to know what the sanitary conditions in London were like. According to Mrs. Ashley, the last plague outbreak was two The summer of years ago.

For so long, she wanted to do something for England.

"Miss, do you really not tell His Majesty?"

Bringing a pen and paper, and changing into coarse linen clothes, Jiang Xinyan was about to secretly go to the city for a field trip. She stuck out her tongue at Hannah and spread her hands: "I don't want to be surrounded by seven or eight strong men, ostentatiously pretending to be Ordinary civilians are less conspicuous, safer, and convenient for me to do business."

"But…"

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon, and His Majesty is very busy these days, so he won't come over suddenly, so let's go." He took her arm and stepped out of the room excitedly.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, carriages and horses. Jiang Xinyan held a pen and paper and Hannah shuttled through the crowd, and walked through the lively market. His ears were filled with English with strong accents from all over the world, and some did not understand. Even though she tried her best to lower her head, she still couldn't help receiving curious eyes.

Straw and broken wood were piled up in the corner of the wall, and the flying dust was flying in the barrel of the wine dealer. Two or three customers came with the man's rough voice, and he used the dirty Take the wooden ladle in your hand and reach into the barrel to scoop wine.On the other side, behind the butcher's shop built of thatched sheds and wooden carts, stood a city peasant woman in a sarong. She was big and fat, and when she saw a well-dressed man passing by, she would flirt with her shrill voice a few times, and filmed. Pat|patted plump breasts, and laughed together.

The horses passed by, and their hoofs kicked up the choking dust on the dirt floor. A certain piece of dirt soaked in sewage gave off an unpleasant smell of rot, and it was dirty and disgusting when it stuck to the skirt, and piles of garbage just piled up in the corner. , Let the flies fly around.

Jiang Xinyan covered his nose and frowned, walked over with difficulty and carefully, turned a corner, looked up and saw two bloody human heads hanging on a wooden pillar, and was frightened out of his wits...

They were probably two poor guys who had committed some crime and were executed. Seeing that the people around them were used to it, it seemed that she had made a fuss.

After finally walking out of the market, I came to a crowded residential area.

"Miss, how about...shall we go back?" Hannah let go of her nose and took a few breaths, unable to hide her distaste for this environment.Maybe she was used to staying in the palace.

Jiang Xinyan looked around excitedly, ignored her words, aimed at a street, and pulled her over.

The road surface is very narrow, it is a dirt road with pits and holes, flying ash in sunny days, and muddy in rainy days. The widest place can only accommodate about three adult men walking side by side, barely touching the sheds on the side of the road. As for the narrow road , then one has to turn sideways to pass, even if you are too fat.

The houses with wooden structures look very weak and old, and some of them even look like dilapidated houses, crumbling and ready to collapse at any time.Jiang Xinyan recorded while walking, and occasionally saw a few children squatting in front of the house playing with mud, and eating without washing their hands after playing...

"Hannah, do you think a wooden house or a stone house is better?"

"Stone, make it stronger."

"Then do you think it is better to have a stone road or a dirt road?"

"This..." He frowned in thought, his eyes glanced at his feet, "The stone road is better, it won't stain the skirt."

Jiang Xinyan smiled and gave her a thumbs up: "I am enlightened."

Rarely shy, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss, what are you asking me for?"

"I want His Majesty to draw up a draft plan to pave all the streets in London with stone slabs, tear down the wooden houses and replace them with stone materials, widen the streets, make the distance between houses longer, and standardize the division of the market area. "

Hannah's mouth was open enough to swallow a fig.

"But it will cost a lot of money, right?"

"The government|government pays for it, first set an example in London, and then spread it to the whole country, so..."

While talking, Jiang Xinyan realized that she was a bit long-winded, or impractical. How could she persuade Elizabeth to agree with her idea based on just one idea?Even if the daughter-in-law agrees, the bill will eventually be approved by the parliament, and she has not given a specific plan. The nobles in the House of Lords will definitely not agree.

Suddenly, I was discouraged.

Maybe it's because she is too naive, like a chicken without a head, thinking about it is just thinking about it.

Looking at the crooked letters on the paper, Jiang Xinyan still held a sliver of hope. He waited to go back and talk to her queen before making a decision, so he took Hannah's arm and continued to move forward.

The city of London is not very big. After leaving the block, they walked aimlessly for a while, and the places they went became more and more remote. There were no houses next to each other. It was close to the Thames River, surrounded by a large stretch of wilderness. , The emerald green stretches.

"Miss, I'm going out of town..." Hannah couldn't help reminding her aloud, making her already uneasy heart even more uneasy.

Previously, both the Queen and Mrs. Ashley had given her orders that no matter where Miss Jiang was going, she had to report in advance and follow closely, but this time she helped Jiang Xinyan hide it together, ignoring this order, if she was discovered …

"Ugh…"

Sighing, shaking his head in disappointment, "Okay, let's go back."

There are a lot of ideas, but they are all on paper after all. She has no power and no prestige. It is really not easy to do something, and it really hurts her self-confidence.

Turning around and going back the same way, Hannah breathed a sigh of relief, silently praying in her heart that the Queen would not find out that they were not in the room...

There was a sound of horseshoes from far to near, and several men in black robes rode horses and approached from a distance. Jiang Xinyan glanced at it, thinking that some noble son was passing by, so he didn't care, and walked back sullenly with Hannah on his arm.

Suddenly, the leading man stopped in front of them on his horse and blocked the way, and several other people surrounded them in the middle.

"What are you doing?"

Looking up, surprised at the same time, the heart also raised, and subconsciously tightened Hannah's arm.

They were all wearing masks so they couldn't see their faces clearly.

You won't encounter robbers or robbers...

The horse snorted, but no one answered her, only the man in the lead raised his hand and made a gesture, and those people immediately got off the horse.

"Hey...you guys..."

The back of the neck suddenly went numb, and before the cry could be released from the throat, he lost consciousness, and his body collapsed into their arms.

"Take both?"

"Leave her here, leave her here." Pointing to Hannah.

"why??"

"Let her go back and pass the message."

A letter with a badge pattern was put into Hannah's hands, and she was thrown on the ground like trash.

Behind the mask is a gloomy, ghostly smiling face.

After squatting near Windsor Castle for several days, they finally found this foreign woman who made their master extremely interested.

So he picked up Jiang Xinyan, put him on his horse, and left in the dust...

At sunset, the Scottish envoys were sent away, and Elizabeth took a walk in the garden alone.

In any case, it would be a pity that the marriage failed. The Earl of Murray is now the regent of Scotland, and he nominally submits to his sister Mary, but she is a Catholic queen after all. If power conflicts break out in the future, Mary has no power to rely on. The actual government Still in the hands of Earl Murray.

Her ambition is also yellow, alas...

Sighing, he raised his head, and a familiar figure walked towards him.

With a carefree look, Robert stopped in front of her and saluted with his long legs, with weeds in his mouth: "I'm free, my dear."

"I don't think a well-bred gentleman is like you, my lord, please wear your clothes and take care of your hair." Frowning, his eyes glanced at his exposed collar and messy chicken coop. like hair.

If there is no such good skin to support, I am afraid that even the palace gate will not be able to enter.

Of course, the other party didn't care.

"She's dead, and I've finished my mourning. I'm free, and you're free, and we're all free, Liz..." As she spoke, she reached out to hug her, but she dodged flexibly.

"Liz?" Surprised, dazed.

Unbelievable, he actually saw...disgust on her face.

"Are you happy about your wife's death?" The expression of disgust was undisguised, and gradually evolved into contempt and doubt.

Robert panicked and shrugged helplessly: "God testifies, I don't want her to die, but she died so suddenly, her death made me free, Liz, we can make an open engagement, and I will marry you , I will be your husband, King of England."

"The way you look now, it's hard not to make people suspect that her death has nothing to do with you."

"It really has nothing to do with me." He emphasized again, and took a step closer, "Liz, when you told me that Amy was an obstacle between us, as long as I annulled my marriage with her, we could get married, and you Can crown me, can't you?"

Elizabeth took a step back incredulously, turned around, and sneered, "That's right, but she's dead."

"The result is the same, why care about the process?"

"It's not the same, Robbie." She shook her head lightly, a bleak smile appeared on her face, and she turned her eyes to the lawn. "As Cecil told you when you left the palace, my name cannot be associated with you. Because of this scandal, you are notorious and disqualified from being a royal suitor. I will never marry Here you go."

"You... what did you say?"

"But you can continue to work in the palace." Slapped and rubbed three times.

"No, Liz, this..."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty...!"

Kate-Ashley and Hannah, who came trotting in a hurry, interrupted what Robert wanted to say. They stopped abruptly, out of breath, with anxious and flustered expressions, especially Hannah, tears fell down.

"What's wrong?" He frowned, feeling bad.

Ashley glanced at Robert, hesitated to speak.

"You go back, there is no need to talk about this matter." She glanced at him lightly and turned her head.

Holding his breath and not daring to speak out, Robert's face turned green. In desperation, he reluctantly bowed and left angrily.

"Your Majesty, something happened to Miss Jiang..."

"what?"

"Miss Morning said... I wanted to go to the city to inspect residential buildings, so I went with her... But when I walked to the suburban river behind Chelsea Street, I was surrounded by several men in black masks. They knocked us out, It was already afternoon when I woke up, I didn't see Miss Jiang and those people, only this letter..." Hannah cried and knelt down, and took out the letter.

She didn't know how long she had slept, her neck was still hurting, she woke up and found that she was still sleeping on the grass, there was no one around, she could only hear the gurgling sound of the river in the distance, and there was an extra letter in her hand that was printed on the French royal family. Heraldic letter.

Out of fear, she first told Mrs Ashley...

Elizabeth took the letter and opened it with her bare hands. A few lines of French letters with neat handwriting jumped out on the paper. After reading it at a very fast speed, her eyes were fixed on the signature at the signature place——Mary.R.

The cool wind blew the messy reddish-brown hair on her forehead, trying to sneak into her suddenly cracked mask. The broken cracks revealed emotions mixed with anger and hostility. Her calm gray-blue eyes were like A puddle of muddy water has lost its former splendor and brilliance.

The letter said, "Miss Jiang is invited to France as a guest" and will "receive her well". If she, Elizabeth, wants someone, she must "bring an army into Paris", otherwise "it depends on the mood to decide whether to let Miss Jiang go back".

Signed, Mary Stuart.

Such an arrogant tone, provoking her...

"Why did you accompany her out of the palace without authorization!" growled, and cast a sinister glance at the shivering Hannah, his eyes were blood red.

"Miss won't tell you...she...she said she doesn't want to bring guards..."

"When did it happen!" Yang Yang raised the letter in his hand.

Fear and anger reached the extreme, and there was a sudden calm. Her chaotic eyes were vaguely foggy, and soon dimmed again, numb and confused.

Hannah bowed her head and knelt on the ground, she couldn't cry, and said tremblingly, "It's almost noon..."

The last glimmer of hope in my heart was shattered.

In other words, five or six hours have passed since they were attacked. During this period, it was enough for them to leave the port and take a boat to the French port without anyone noticing.

"His Majesty…"

Seeing her pale face for a moment, Ashley was a little worried, "Maybe we can still stop her at the port now, as long as it doesn't leave England's territorial waters."

Elizabeth nodded absently, turned around staggeringly, and was about to speak when suddenly her eyes went dark...
