[Pride and Prejudice] Rich Lady

The turning point of this incident was that Elizabeth remembered the speculation about George III's insanity in later generations. Many people speculated that this remarkable King of Hanover suffered from a rare blood disease: porphyria (Note).

As a legendary generation of kings in British history, George III is also in an era of great change. There are many studies, biographies, and even screen works on later generations.The cause of his illness has been debated since he was still alive. More than 100 years later, the theory of "porphyria" has been recognized by many people.Some scholars in later generations tested the high content of arsenic in George III's surviving hair. Arsenic. Frost is one of the causes of porphyria (Note ②) - the complete madness of the last ten years of the king's life is likely to be arsenic. The frost accumulated too much in his body.

But this has nothing to do with the political struggle in the court, nor is it because someone assassinated the king, but the reason why the extraction technology of the treatment medicine that the king has been taking for a long time is not yet developed.

Porphyria may be hereditary, or it may be acquired.

It was because Elizabeth recalled this incident that the real turning point came.

"This disease occurs intermittently. What the king suffers from is not what people think of as madness, but another disease that caused him to be a little abnormal." Darcy said in court, "I am not a doctor, but more It will not harm the king's body. It's just that like any subject who cares about your majesty's health, he wants our king to be healthier-so I recommend a skilled doctor to take care of the king's body."

In the magistrate's court, judges and lawyers wearing white wigs, silk robes, and black cloaks looked at him in surprise.

The 12 jury members convened by the court were also very surprised.

The audience surrounded by the judges, jury and lawyers in a fan shape was talking a lot. These audiences with seats were different from the civilians standing behind the fence on the second floor. They were either members of parliament with status or Mr. Darcy. family members, or both at the same time.

Among them was Earl Henry, Mr. Darcy's uncle. The Earl obviously knew the inside story. He sat on the seat and looked back calmly at the various gazes cast on him.The little noble who accused Darcy of being guilty was extremely flustered, and the more confident Earl Henry was, the more frightened he was.

Obviously, this matter is not in everyone's knowledge. Even the nobles, there are many people who secretly call the king a "mad king". the king of the world in a cage", this is the tacit fact.It was a curious thing that anyone should now openly say that the king was not insane, but at any rate it aroused instant public interest.The news was published in the newspaper the next day.

At this time, London is still in the social season, and the weather in late spring and early summer is extremely comfortable. It is the busiest time of the year in this city, and new things spread quickly.So the reopening of Mr. Darcy's trial on April 4 has become the most concerned thing recently.

The defendant can prove his innocence, which is the right and responsibility given to the defendant by the law. As a decent gentleman, Mr. Darcy has the support of his uncle in the House of Lords. Mr. West's appeal became a matter of course. (Note ③)

After George III moved back to St. James's Palace from Kew Gardens, the huge impact of the title "King" cannot be ignored. Although George III did not express his trust and assistance to Fitzwilliam Darcy in public, he cared about The attitude of the case certainly says a lot.Compared with the king who has controlled Britain for many years and the Prince of Wales who is only supported by some Whigs, the healthy king quietly withdrew his power, which changed the direction of the wind drastically.

Most of the time in the eyes of the people, the king is a generous and benevolent image, and this time is no exception. George III even allowed the method proposed by Darcy to offend the majesty of the king: exposing the urine of His Majesty Britain to the public.

On April 4, the spacious square of the London court could not even hold that many people, and the guards drove some of them away to maintain order.

Everyone looked at the tray placed on the central platform with burning eyes, and there was some liquid in it.At this time, even the delicate and dignified ladies didn't care to cover their mouths and noses with their handkerchiefs. Under the protection of the servants, they stretched their necks to see what was inside the tray.

The sun is good today, but none of the ladies held up a beautiful umbrella. The square is too crowded, and the only ones who can get close are gentlemen and ladies protected by strong servants. The ladies only care about their gorgeous big hats. And all the effort has been spent.

Half an hour later, under the ghostly eyes of the two officials, the colorless plate of king's urine turned wine red.

At this time, the people in the court were nervously waiting for the prisoner's self-certification.

The officials who rushed in in a panic clearly showed that the evidence provided by the prisoner was actually true.

Wasn't the king really suffering from madness? !

The trial, which lasted only one hour, was put on hold again, with the judge struggling to make a decision and the jury disagreeing.Some think that Darcy is not guilty, on the contrary, he has credit; some think that it is just a symptom of madness that people have not discovered.Of course, most people dare not suspect that His Majesty the King is willing to cheat for a small consultant, and they cannot explain how to make the urine change color after half an hour.

On that day, I don’t know how many princes, nobles, and ordinary people secretly took their own urine and dried it in the sun. Even if they were suffocated, they still wanted to see if it changed color—of course, this rare disease did not find them. , everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This also includes His Majesty the King and Dauphin.The king's result was still the same, the colorless urine turned dark red under his nose, and the Prince of Wales escaped.But before His Royal Highness could heave a sigh of relief, his only, legal, and illegitimate daughter, the personal attendant of Britain's second heir came to report in panic, and Princess Charlotte's body was pale red in the sun. (Note ④)

There is no more terrifying news, whether it is for the Prince of Wales, or for the King himself - because Princess Charlotte is not only the Prince's only legitimate daughter, but also the King's only existing non-illegitimate daughter who can pass the "Royal Marriage Act" Grandchildren who have the right to inherit under the Act of Succession to the Throne.It can be said that Princess Charlotte is the heir with the most stable status in the royal family. Even if her father did not live past her grandfather, she can take over the throne directly from her grandfather like George III and continue the Hanoverian dynasty.

This is the hope of the continuation of the dynasty, and now this hope is likely to suffer from a rare disease that can cause madness like his grandfather. West's staff, he demanded the immediate release of Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Fortunately, the king was still sane, and the "Bill of Rights" guaranteed that the king could not terminate the law. Before the court made a judgment, Darcy had to stay at the Tower of London for at least two more days.

On April 4, the judge and jury consistently acquitted Fitzwilliam Darcy and he was released in court.

Mr. Darcy did not have the opportunity to reunite with his family and lovers, and he was surrounded into Windsor Castle.

This time, the courtesy he received was unprecedented, and even the Prince of Wales spoke to him gently.It was rare for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to drink. He was preoccupied and treated Darcy very courteously.

Except for the important ministers trusted by the king, there were no outsiders in the study of Windsor Castle, and the attendants were ordered to stay away from here. This matter may be serious enough to touch the cornerstone of the royal family. Apparently, the disease could be passed on to future generations.Illness could trigger a fit of madness, and it was unacceptable to any member of the royal family that the Hanoverian dynasty might have a string of mad kings.

They looked eagerly at Mr. Darcy.

As usual, Mr. Darcy saluted the king respectfully, and he explained to the king that it was necessary to offend the king, lest after he was imprisoned, the king would still return to the previous method of treatment: "In fact, this The onset of this disease is likely to be caused by fatigue, drinking and mental stimulation, and the previous treatment will lead to the exacerbation of the disease, which means that the possibility of acute attack increases."

The situation he feared was almost predictable. Once he was convicted, the king's condition would be deathly insane.In order to appease the people, the former two doctors who "had cured the king" will also be summoned to serve as court physicians, and they will take care of the king's body for a long time. The imperial doctors will only use more "healing methods" when they are treated with courtesy. Constantly stimulating the king, constantly aggravating the king's condition...

Mr. Darcy took the opportunity to popularize the "humanized euthanasia therapy" for insane patients in Havering Hospital. He said bluntly: "We have absorbed some treatment methods from the Ming Dynasty, which are obviously effective for patients' conditions. It is a long-term process, and it is difficult to cure, but it can make people less sick and stay normal most of the time."

In this spacious and gorgeous study room, no one criticized his treatment methods anymore, and everyone nervously waited for his next words.

"It is precisely after learning the experience of checking past illnesses and prescriptions in other countries, we checked the past records and noticed the abnormalities of His Majesty's previous illnesses: such as abdominal pain, pain in limbs, and insomnia. At the same time, it was also recorded that the voice changed The hoarseness - this is where we suspect the king may have a rare disease, porphyria."

George III took a deep breath. At this time, he loved and valued this young man very much. His rigorous style saved himself, and possibly even the entire royal family.

Kings, queens, princes and ministers waited with bated breath for his next words.

Mr. Darcy is too bad, he paused, and then said: "I am not a doctor, but I just helped to check some records, Your Majesty knows this best. This rare disease is not due to me or the doctor I recommended , it was actually my fiancée, Miss Elizabeth, under the doubts, we gradually discovered the truth, but before I confirmed the illness and reported it to His Majesty the King, I..."

Embarrassment flashed across the face of the Prince of Wales, and then he personally ordered his attendants to invite Miss Elizabeth and the doctor to Windsor Castle.

Confused, Elizabeth won the honor of meeting His Majesty the King. At the same time, she was officially received by Queen Charlotte, Prince of Wales, Duke of York and other big figures.

In a few days, with the help of Earl Henry, a limited number of people formed a rigorous rhetoric, which is the reason why Mr. Darcy did not continue. In fact, this gentleman only met his fiancée sweetly. On the one hand, he didn't understand what happened next at all.I don't know that Uncle Henry has made great efforts. The attendants from the Henry family first took the king's urine for verification before they came up with a series of plans.Mr. Darcy only agreed with Elizabeth on hand gestures and several corresponding simple words. He said that just because he saw the hand gestures of his uncle and his fiancée in court.

The doctors of the Darcy family were already ready for an audience, only Miss Elizabeth, who was welcoming the return of the 'fiancé-to-be', felt a little sudden.

Just as Elizabeth believed in Darcy, Mr. Darcy also believed in his beloved lady, and he did not want her to miss this excellent opportunity—Elizabeth’s contribution should not be buried, she just needed such an opportunity, given her name Strong assets and connections are being coveted.

Elizabeth was indeed as the gentleman thought, generous and clear-headed in responding to the king's inquiries.

The young unmarried couple even had the honor of staying overnight at Windsor Castle before returning to Netherfield Manor with a generous reward.

The family was so happy that Mrs. Bennet threatened to hold a grand ball to celebrate them.

During the whole day, Mr. Darcy did not find an opportunity to talk to Mr. Bennet alone in the study, so as to ask his father-in-law's permission.For a while, his eyes were glued to the lady as before, and then he looked at Mr. Bennet again. Obviously, the older gentleman misunderstood, and he vigorously praised Darcy's wisdom:

"The king washed away his reputation of insanity and did not offend His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. There is no better miracle than this!"

Earl Henry had already sent a letter to deliver an errand, and he would visit Netherfield Manor in person in three days. The letter was very affectionate, just like the old acquaintance of the Bennet family for many years.Mr. Darcy's heart was hot, sweet and joyful, but he was also worried that he could not get the consent of the Bennet couple before Uncle Henry arrived-when he saw the letter, he knew that his uncle had misunderstood, and Uncle Henry obviously made Bannet Mr. Te treated him like the father-in-law of his beloved nephew.

"The Lady [Anna Karenina]"

In the beginning, I didn't even think about loving this man in the past, I just wanted to play tricks on him.

later……

Do old men smell good?

Fragrant!

Karenin, the longest routine I have gone through is your love.

Karenin thought that the wife he needed was docile, decent, and moral, and as long as he met these conditions, he could probably be Mrs. Karenin.

But he found that his new wife was warm, self-willed, and bold—even enchanting, seductive, and presumptuous. She was simply the kind of woman that honest officials should never marry, and it was best not to even touch her.

After a long time, she realized that it was the sound of her head smashing the heroine's koi halo...

Touching his forehead, Lin Gantang silently lit a wax for the heroine.

Note: Porphyria: Porphyria is a group of porphyrin metabolic disorders caused by a certain enzyme deficiency or reduced enzyme activity in the hemoglobin production pathway.It can be a congenital disease or it can appear in the day after tomorrow.The main clinical manifestations include photosensitivity, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and digestive system symptoms.The incidence of porphyria is about 1.5/million.

Later, when the researchers analyzed George III's disease, they believed that the patient had an unhealthy condition from the symptoms accompanying the disease, such as tachycardia, severe rash, bloodshot eyes, swollen feet, and red urine. A common porphyria that was not understood until the 20s. (Encyclopedia, George III)

Note ②: In 2003, Professor Martin Warren of the University of Kent in the UK found high levels of arsenic in the hair samples of George III preserved in later generations - □□ is considered to be one of the causes of porphyria.As for the source of arsenic, a drug made of "antimony" was found in George III's medical records.Antimony ore often coexists with arsenic, which is also a nitrogen group element, and the oxide of arsenic is arsenic. Frost, especially in the era of George III when the extraction technology was not yet developed, the content of arsenic in antimony is even more conceivable Know.George III took this drug for a large amount of time in his life. Over time, a large amount of arsenic accumulated in his body, which is tantamount to committing suicide by taking poison. (Encyclopedia, porphyria)

Note ③: The parliament and the court are not separate power entities. The upper house of the parliament, as the highest judicial organ of appeal, is itself a trial level of the judicial system. After the "Appellate Jurisdiction Act" was passed in 1876, the House of Lords created the "Permanent Appellate Judicial Aristocrats" who were not limited by the parliamentary session, which realized the normalization of the judicial work of the House of Lords. As a result, the Appeal Board became the permanent highest judicial body in the UK.The House of Lords had supreme appellate jurisdiction for more than three centuries before the Supreme Court became operational in 2009. - "Revolution and Justice: The Independence of Common Law Courts in England in the Seventeenth Century"

There is no record in history that Princess Charlotte suffers from porphyria, this is made up by fish, fabricated, and imagined! ! !
