[Pride and Prejudice] Rich Lady

Chapter 100 Formal Proposal

The previous conversation ended with the gentleman restrainedly kissing the young lady on the forehead.

The two of them blushed, almost pretending to be calm, but actually fled the living room in a panic.

Mr. Darcy didn't have time to apologize for saying he was "preparing to get engaged this year" without the lady's consent, but he would soon find out that no apology was a good thing for their relationship.When the young lady shackles herself and is in a dilemma, she just needs someone to make a decision for her, lest she will not be able to get out.This is also thanks to Queen Charlotte, under her persecution, Mr. Darcy hit the right spot.

If the husband didn't care about the lady so much, he would have realized it at the time: According to Elizabeth's temper, if she really didn't want to be engaged to him, she would definitely dare to express it frankly—she would never use a man to treat her despicably. Love pushes people out to protect themselves from disaster.

Mr. Darcy could hardly fall asleep one night. He was excited and sweet for a while, and wanted to get up and go out the window to look at the moon for a while.In the third year since seeing Miss Lizzie for the first time, Mr. Darcy finally embraced his beloved rose in his arms.The gentleman is excitedly planning, after solving the current matter, he must choose a fine day and propose to his beloved lady in a serious manner...

But obviously treating the king was not an easy task.

On March 3, Queen Charlotte obtained the support of her attendants and some nobles, and together with her second son, the Duke of York, requested to hire a new doctor for the king to be responsible for the king's health.George III and Queen Charlotte had 20 children. He was a devoted husband and a loving father. This proposal was approved by almost all the children, including Princess Amelia, the youngest daughter of the king and his wife.But some Whig ministers who knew about the king's condition objected.The king's heir, the Prince of Wales himself is ambiguous. He has no objection to the queen's opinion, but he has said that the king has recovered under the treatment of the current doctor, and he thinks that the imperial doctor can be given a little more time.

On March 3, the royal family and the nobles agreed with the queen's proposal, but they had their own recommendations for the imperial physicians to be hired.Under the queen's rare insistence, in the middle of the night, the candidate recommended by Queen Charlotte was finally approved: Fitzwilliam Darcy, the owner of Havering's private sanatorium for insane patients from the outskirts of London.In this era when madness and divine punishment have not been completely separated, thanks to the unimaginable treatment methods of the doctors in the madhouse, as a gentleman who owns a mad hospital, Mr. Darcy is acquiesced to be able to serve as a mad doctor.Even if the patient is His Majesty the King, it doesn't make people with high positions more cautious.

On March 3, Mr Darcy became George III's new physician.Although Mr. Darcy repeatedly claimed that he was only an introducer and adviser, the royal family and ministers ignored the elderly doctor who followed him.In view of Mr. Darcy's status and wealth, the ministers and internal servants were very polite to him, and the king's internal servant believed that "a decent gentleman is more worthy of trust", which was convinced by many people.

On March 3, King finally ended his poison ivy-tortured regimen, moved away from the straitjacket, and began mild therapy.The doctor asked him to take a walk in the garden at normal times, so that he could get close to those exotic flowers and plants he liked to relax.For this reason, George III and Queen Charlotte moved to Kew Palace next to the Thames in the southern suburbs far away from the city.After the blisters and poison ivy on his body subsided, the king's strong physique returned, and he was full of energy when he walked. two people.

On March 3, after moving to the smallest and furthest palace, His Majesty the King was finally treated by a real doctor.Through dark potions, acupuncture points and application of medicine, massage and other techniques, George III told the queen that he had never felt so relaxed and clear in his mind.

On April 4, two weeks after the king's new doctor took office, people who knew the truth found out that His Majesty the King hadn't had another illness for ten days, and the king himself was known for being strong. Now he and his eldest son Standing in one place, His Majesty the King looked more energetic than his son who liked wine and women.The Prince of Wales has a big belly, a big, red and swollen nose like a clown, he was good-looking, but at some point he was no longer as good as the straight-backed, unattractive His Majesty the King.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was cooperating with the Whig party leaders to try to regent, felt cold, and the Prince of Wales was furious. At this time, he looked more sick than his old father.

What Elizabeth feared most happened, they offended the future king of Britain.In just a few days, Havering Hospital was raided and inspected several times, and reported for strange reasons. Even the absurd statement of "abuse of insane patients" was written on the magistrate's paperwork.If Havering was abusing the sick, Bethlehem was hell, though it's about the same now.But the sheriff said their treatments weren't working and that treatment that didn't work was abusing the patient.Elizabeth, who was sitting in Havering, almost laughed angrily. She was also vigilantly aware of the traps inside. There were no loopholes in Kew Palace, so she had to dig the foundation of Mr. Darcy—he became the owner of Havering Hospital. The king's doctor, once the hospital is considered useless, Mr. Darcy must be accused of being a liar and get into a lawsuit.

"This is an important official business. Many people have reported this matter. I need to talk to a serious emissary." The sheriff said: "Instead of chatting with a young lady."

Miss was very tough on this matter, she took out Mr. Darcy's "fiancée" and the status of owning half of the Havering property, and arrogantly responded to the magistrate: "The real owner of this property has now become the new royal family's advisor. , Mr. Magistrate doubts the judgment of the king and queen? Mr. Darcy gave me half of the property here as a gift. As the future mistress of the family, I can completely make decisions on the affairs of Havering Hospital, but in view of the security Your lordship doesn't bother to talk to me, so please ask the magistrate to go to Kew Palace to see Mr. Darcy!" Elizabeth's words did not involve the king's illness, and the consultant could be a doctor's consultant or a financial consultant. Mr. Xi has achieved great success in investment in recent years.

The sheriff was politely invited out of the hospital, and the gate of the hospital was closed in front of him. A few minutes later, Havering Hospital posted an announcement: In order to cooperate with the work of the local sheriff, Havering will not be closed for the time being. New patients are admitted and visits are declined.

Kew Palace and Havering Hospital are like iron barrels, without any flaws, but this does not mean that the crisis is far away. In fact, madness will eventually make people completely insane as they grow older, and this is the biggest hidden danger.Once the king fell into permanent madness in the future, and Mr. Darcy could not succeed in curing him again, then this would be an excuse for people to attack him.

Elizabeth and Darcy can only devote all their energy to dealing with the immediate juncture, and have no time to consider the future for the time being.

However, the actions of some people who were dissatisfied with the failure of the king's recovery plan brought a turn for the whole thing.

On April 4, the day of Easter, a little nobleman who seemed to be in a daze questioned Mr. Darcy in public, saying that he had committed the crime of deceiving the king and mutilating the king's body. "His majesty the king has long since recovered, and there is no relapse of old illnesses, but this hateful person took advantage of the fact that the king had a fever caused by the rain last month, tricked the queen into believing that the king was going to have a relapse, and successfully squeezed out the former imperial doctor to take over. He wanted to pass this way To get close to the king and gain His Majesty's trust, there must be a bigger conspiracy purpose!"

'The king is not sick' became Mr. Darcy's incrimination.But this is the same direction that George III himself and Queen Charlotte are working hard. The people behind the scenes who are determined to get rid of the reliable Darcy and take the opportunity to vent their anger have figured this out.

There are only two ways for Fitzwilliam Darcy to escape the crime: one is that the king himself guarantees him and expresses his trust in him, and the other is that he proves that the king is ill.But these two roads seem to be unreasonable.In a politically dangerous situation, when Prime Minister Addington, who succeeded Peter Jr. as Prime Minister, could not tacitly cooperate with the king in exercising power, it was impossible for George III to take the risk of guaranteeing a "doctor consultant", which undoubtedly exposed his lie of concealing his illness.In fact, it was the greatest kindness and generosity for George III to remain silent after Darcy's charges were brought up.The latter, no doubt, has committed suicide, and the charge of "murdering the king" will make him go to the gallows.

On April 4, Derbyshire gentleman Fitzwilliam Darcy was temporarily imprisoned in the White Tower.

As part of the Tower of London, the White Tower not only houses countless royal treasures, but its basement is also stained red by the blood of countless upper-class people. This is the tomb of the losers of royal struggles and court political struggles.Mr. Darcy, as the king's royal medical adviser, was temporarily imprisoned in this splendid and bloody place - he was not qualified to be imprisoned in the underground cell that once lived in the queen, the former queen, the duke and the earl, but set aside a room The small house shut him up for the time being.

The Darcy family is extremely powerful in Derbyshire. His uncle, Earl Henry, is a member of the House of Lords, and his aunt, the De Bourgh family, is also a prominent family in Kent. His fiancée Elizabeth Bennet was born in a nearby gentleman’s family. Valued by the Ming Dynasty envoy and Lady Anne, the industry under the name of this lady has a close cooperation with the Ming Dynasty businessman Anthony... Earl Hollis and the knight family George in the East Anglia region hold the largest sewing machine factory in Britain The big businessman Jared, some elders of the state church, and six members of the House of Commons all began to participate in this matter.

On April 4, Elizabeth, as the closest "fiancée", was allowed to visit Mr. Darcy, while Earl Henry, MPs and lawyers were refused.Even if they knew that this lady fiancee had a lot of property and was valued by the big shots, most people still subconsciously looked down on women, thinking that such a young lady was insignificant and useless at all.

Elizabeth saw a somewhat laid-back and haggard husband.

Even with Uncle Henry and the lawyer, they believed that the charge was hard to clear, and all they could do was to work hard on sentencing and treatment. The best result would probably be to transfer to a relatively new prison with looser management. Spent two years in prison.Everyone is now working hard to preserve Darcy's property and prevent the court from conducting bankruptcy investigations on him like other criminals.Even without the lawyer and Uncle Henry, Mr. Darcy could have guessed these things. He took all the responsibility and left Elizabeth, who jointly owned Havering Hospital, completely out.

Mr. Darcy has no regrets, he will not take credit, and he will never pretend to be generous against his will and let go of his beloved lady's hand.

The gentleman held Elizabeth's hand, his messy hair had a different kind of decadent beauty, his warm eyes were like a deep pool, and the friendship almost drowned the lady in it: "Maybe two years, maybe three years, dear Miss Elizabeth, at that time Do you still want to marry me?"

"You are a stubborn and long-lasting person. I know your temper, so I beg you frankly," Mr. Darcy said. He did not express any doubt about Lizzie's feelings for the next two or three years, and tried to Comforting the thin sweetheart: "Don't be sad, your existence is enough to dilute all shadows. I miss you every day and make time not enough, give me some books, I think I will spend this time easily-I plan to spend more time Read some poetry so that I can write a beautiful sonnet and send it to you."

The young lady burst into tears, and the original plan was completely forgotten.At this moment, Elizabeth suddenly realizes that the person in front of her is only the person she loves, and has nothing to do with Mrs. Darcy who only exists in her mind.This gentleman is completely her own, the unique partner who has become more and more suitable under the influence of each other.

"I will!" replied the lady.

Mr. Darcy smiled contentedly and warmly.

Immediately, he was defeated by the lady made of water. He frantically wiped her tears and straightened her hair clumsily.

Finally, the gentleman put his forehead against hers, and the gentleman said softly: "Just like we used to write letters, as if I can't be with you for a while, this time I want to be your 'Mr. William'. Will you, Miss Lizzie?"

Elizabeth's nose was so sore that if she hadn't been held in Darcy's big hand, she would have burst into tears holding him.

"Okay, let's go back. The place will be changed after the trial. Before that, don't come here." Mr. Darcy endured his reluctance and began to drive the lady back.The Tower of London was built like a fortification. It was tall, steep and impenetrable to the sun. It was called the "Blood Tower". There were many horror stories. The gentleman was afraid of scaring his beloved, even though he knew that Lizzie was not that timid.

Reluctantly, the young lady was pushed to the door in a foolish way. A small ray of sunlight coming in from the narrow door frame finally woke up the silly girl.

"No, it's not..."

"Why should I leave?" Elizabeth's face was still wet with tears, she turned around: "I'm here to discuss with you, I thought of one thing that can make you not guilty, maybe you don't have to go to jail."

"..." Mr. Darcy half embraced her, stunned.

He didn't have a deep understanding of the fact that he didn't have to go to prison. The gentleman looked around this small and dark cell, but he couldn't believe that he just proposed here!

—and the lady agreed to the proposal.
