The sun never sets rose

The weather is getting colder and we are blinking into November.

The atmosphere of Christmas is getting stronger. This year, the royal family is going to the Palace of Fontainebleau to spend the New Year. In the past few days, horse-drawn carriages have been coming and going. Dull.

She really lives here like a year...

While silently praying that there will be no coup in England, while expecting King Francois to die quickly.

"Your Majesty the Queen."

The voices of the maids sounded from behind, Jiang Xinyan knew who was coming, but just sat there and didn't want to move, and didn't look back.

The hem of the skirt brushed the carpet, and silent footsteps approached slowly.

"Is it packed? Come with me."

Ignore it, just ignore it.

"Little thing, don't think I have no temper."

"..."

Jiang Xinyan turned around, bowed reluctantly, and saw Mary looking down at her from above, with resentment in her eyes, but it was fleeting.

"I have nothing to bring, let's go now." Spread your hands.

Mary didn't talk nonsense to her, and turned around to leave. She followed behind with her head down, following a group of ladies and maids, until she walked out of the gate of the Louvre and got into the carriage.

Only the two of them sat in the spacious carriage, and even her personal lady was driven to the rear carriage. The king and the Medici dowager were not seen, only the coachman and a few royal guards were supposed to go to Fontainebleau Palace today, The team shouldn't be so shabby.

But Jiang Xinyan didn't ask too much, she really didn't have the heart to say a word to Mary.

When the car was wobbling and moving, Mary glanced at her and said unhurriedly: "They pass first, you can't go with the royal team, so I will accompany you."

"Oh."

It looks like I have to thank her for her condescension?Jiang Xinyan lowered his head and stroked the ring on his hand.

"Who is Liz?"

Dazed, she suddenly raised her head, and Mary was looking at her with a smile, a sly flash of eyes, and she glanced at the ring.Seeing that Jiang Xin didn't answer, she said leisurely, "I guess it's Elizabeth?"

"..."

"I even called her nickname in my dream, she really is a loyal minister." He shook his head lightly, his face full of sighs.

Jiang Xinyan was so nervous that she raised her heart, but she couldn't make any refutation or explanation. The room she lived in was connected to Mary's. She only needed to open two unlocked doors, and she could come to the her bedside.

Yes, she dreamed of Elizabeth almost every night.

"Your Majesty, just say what you want to say..."

Mary leaned against the window, looking at her leisurely, and tapped her hands on her knees: "Do you want to listen to me tell a love story that moves heaven and earth?"

"Um…"

"When I was ten years old, there was a little maid named Irene beside me. She was five years older than me. She liked to play with girls very much. Whenever there were balls or celebrations in the palace, she was very happy, because she could watch She went to many ladies in noble families, and later, she met the youngest daughter of an earl."

"..."

Jiang Xinyan probably knew what she meant.

"Irene began to run out of the palace frequently, or the lady found a reason to enter the palace. At first I thought it was good for them to be purely personal, but thinking about it, it should be impossible. You know, nobles don't play with children from common people. of."

"I asked that lady to enter the palace to be my female officer. Irene has been sticking to her ever since, and the two were inseparable until one night, she and Irene disappeared at the same time. Guess when I found them, they were do what?"

"They kissed each other and touched each other, oh, God, it's a crime..." As she said that, Mary clutched her forehead in embarrassment, with a hint of disdain in her eyes. "Then I reported on them. How do you think they died in the end?"

Jiang Xinyan frowned and pinched her fingers, touching her palms with sweat. She knew without guessing that she must have died a miserable death.

"Irene was nailed to a charcoal fire pillar and roasted alive. As for that lady... tell me, which man is willing to marry a disgusting woman of the same sex? No one wanted her, and she brought shame to the family. Kicked out of the house, entered a brothel, was..."

"Stop it, Your Majesty, this...is not a glorious thing." Pressing his chest, he felt inexplicably sick, especially imagining the scene of being roasted alive.

"You know it's dishonorable." Mary's tone turned cold in an instant, she squinted at her, and glanced at the ring inadvertently. "If your relationship with Elizabeth is well-known throughout the European continent, then she will be able to roll off the throne by herself without any effort from me."

Thinking of those consequences, Jiang Xinyan's face turned pale with horror, her lips trembled slightly, and she almost fell to the ground with the bumps of the carriage. She raised her head and wanted to say something, but felt deeply powerless.

"What does His Majesty want me to do?"

"Betray her."

Jiang Xinyan bit her lower lip, her frowning eyebrows twitched into a ball, and she tried her best not to tremble, but her dignity was nothing compared to Elizabeth's throne.

She shook her head slightly and raised her eyes: "I won't betray her, at worst I die."

"I won't let you die, don't worry."

"I mean, suicide."

The black pupils were covered with a layer of condensed frost. Mary looked at her resolute face in disbelief, and muttered to herself: "One cannot commit suicide... that way one cannot enter heaven, and God will not forgive the soul of a suicide..."

"It doesn't matter."

Modern people commit suicide a lot, people die like lights out, she doesn't believe in that.

Before Mary wanted to say something, the carriage suddenly jolted violently, and there were screams and screams outside, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the carriage shook violently.

"what happened?"

--boom!

The base of the carriage was thrown up and fell down heavily. Before they could react while rubbing their painful heads, the carriage suddenly tilted and rolled towards the roadside slope...

"Hiss..."

The vague consciousness gradually became clear, Jiang Xinyan opened his eyes with difficulty, moved his arms and legs, stared for a few seconds, and found himself lying in the carriage, the square window above his head let in the light from the outside, the carriage was turned over, There was a big opening in the rear.

She propped herself up and sat up, gently turned her neck and ankles, and after confirming that there was no obvious pain, she crawled out along the large opening.Outside was a sloping forest, and the carriage was stuck between two trees. If the gap was a little bigger, it was likely to continue to roll down.

Jiang Xinyan stood beside the carriage in a daze, surprisingly calm. Recalling the screams and strange sounds he heard before the overturned car, he probably encountered an attack, but who was it for?Either sooner or later, when there were only her and Mary, how could they get rid of those guards at once without showing up?

It really is not safe anywhere...

Then she discovered that Mary was gone.

Looking around, the forest is big and deep, covered with dead branches and fallen leaves. Apart from the wrecked carriage, there are only two dying horses lying on the ground. Weak breath, white foam from the mouth.

"anyone there?"

"His Majesty…?"

"Mary?"

In the huge woods, there was only Jiang Xinyan's shouts, but no one responded. She panicked, found a wooden pillar cut off from the carriage, used it as a climbing stick, and climbed up the slope.She shouted while climbing, and suddenly saw a corpse stuck between the roots of a tree, it was a coachman with an arrow stuck in his neck, and she was almost scared to roll back down the slope...

Only people who have been injured by arrows will have lingering fears about this. Jiang Xinyan hurriedly climbed up, complaining about the safety awareness of the French, and thankful that he did not break his arms or legs. As long as he is alive and moving, there are all kinds of possibilities.

"anyone there…?"

Shouting a few words, he suddenly heard a faint groan coming from a certain direction. Jiang Xinyan stopped, held his breath and looked around. Sure enough, he saw a person stuck under a forked tree in the front left, with black long hair falling down. The back of the head was hanging down, and half of the bloody calf was exposed under the messy navy blue skirt.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Mary...

Jiang Xinyan suddenly wanted to laugh, because it was so funny.But she still crawled over with a stick as fast as she could, and stretched out her hand to try to lift him out, but when she touched Mary's body, she was stunned.

What if there is a fracture or something?

If she moved it rashly, it might aggravate the injury, it might cause internal organs to rupture and hemorrhage, or...

Jiang Xinyan withdrew her hand timidly. She was neither a doctor nor a nurse. She couldn't judge Mary's situation. After hesitating for a long time, she squatted down and lifted her hair, and talked to her: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Can you hear me?"

Mary should have been thrown out of the car during the fall, her forehead was scratched and seeped with fine drops of blood, she half-raised her eyelids, and frowned: "It hurts...help..."

"Where does it hurt?"

"leg……"

Oh my god, maybe her leg is broken...Jiang Xinyan's face was pale, she didn't care about embarrassment, she opened her skirt to check, and saw a long wound crawling on her calf, covered with sand and mud, flesh and blood Blurred, dark red blood dripped out continuously.

"Is there any other pain? I mean the kind of severe pain that can make you faint, such as chest? Arm? Waist?"

"Dizziness…"

"..."

Jiang Xinyan didn't care, he supported her upper body with both hands and lifted out the tree root, put it flat on the ground, pressed her ribs, shoulder blades, elbows and other places respectively, and if she didn't hear her shout, then it was probably all right, and she could only do it make such a judgment.If the bone is broken, the pain of that little flesh wound on the leg is nothing compared to it.

Then she tore off the fabric on her petticoat, which would be relatively clean inside, and wiped away the blood from the wound bit by bit.

Mary lay half dead for a while, the dizziness was not so strong, she sat up with her upper body propped up, and looked around her surroundings.

"We have to get out of here as soon as possible."

"what?"

"This area... is the territory of the Huguenots." Mary panted heavily, the sweat and blood on her forehead were fused together, and some mud was still rubbing against her face. "They came for me. The last attack failed and Prince Condé was arrested. I should have held grudges for a long time."

"..."

Wasn't that because her prophecy offended the Huguenots virtually?Jiang Xinyan mourned silently, and she didn't want to offend any religious forces.

"Help me up." Mary reached out to her and stood up with strength, staggering a little due to the pain in her leg. "This forest is very large. Go east and return to the main road. It's not far from the Palace of Fontainebleau. We have to get out before they find us."

"Here's this for you, it will save you some effort, it's inconvenient if your leg is injured." Jiang Xinyan was afraid that she would not be able to stand still, so she gave her the wooden pillar on one side, and went around to the other side to put her arm on him shoulder.

Mary didn't say anything, and acquiesced to her approach, but she didn't really put all her body weight on her thin body, but this stick was quite easy to use.

"How long will it take?"

"Be there before the sun goes down."

"..."

It was morning when they came out, but they could only reach the main road in the evening. You can imagine how deep the carriage rolled, just because the two of them were in such a place where the birds didn't shit, they had no food and water, and they were carrying Injury, how far can you go?

Jiang Xinyan struggled to help Mary walk in the woods. She found that this woman was not as weak as she imagined. Even though her leg hurt and hurt, she did not slow down. Even because of her tall legs and long strides, she walked still. Faster than Jiang Xinyan.

"Did the Huguenots attack you because they hated your uncle?"

Mary walked forward leaning on the stick without changing her expression, and nodded slightly. Although she was dressed in a mess and her hair was messy at the moment, she still held her head high and kept her elegant and noble demeanor, like a resolute and brave female warrior.

Jiang Xinyan couldn't help thinking that when she went to the guillotine later, she wore a red dress that symbolized sacrifice, firmly and piously defended her beliefs, and martyred as a queen, not as a prisoner.

"They probably want to arrest me in exchange for Prince Condé." After a long silence, Mary suddenly spoke out, her tone neither salty nor weak. "It's just that I didn't expect the carriage to fall too far. They must be looking for it now. If you don't want to be caught, just pray."

"What if... I mean, what if you get caught? Will your life be in danger?"

"I won't. As for you, it's hard to say."

"..."

A string of invisible black threads hung from the forehead, Jiang Xinyan complained silently, she was really possessed by a moldy god...
