[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Henry VIII was awakened by an old wound in his leg.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that the court doctor was carefully scraping the carrion around the wound, and then sucking out the blood and pus with a special tool, which made Henry VIII feel like vomiting.

"Hmm..." When the cold-looking scalpel cut off a piece of carrion again, Henry VIII straightened his instep in pain, then grabbed the bed sheet around him, wishing he could grab the tassel on the curtain and bite it in his mouth .

"Hurry up for me."

The court doctor trembled from the roar of Henry VIII's throat, and almost stabbed the king's wound with a knife.Fortunately, the assistant on the side even stabilized his trembling hand holding the knife, and then stuffed a bottle of herbal powder into the court doctor's hand.

"Oh! Thank you, sir." The court doctor wiped the sweat from his face, made a paste of herbal powder, and spread it evenly on the linen cloth, carefully bandaging the king's wound.

As a result, this process caused the king to groan after another, and even kicked forward with his injured leg, directly kicking the court doctor to the ground.

"Get out." Henry VIII's anger made the court doctor and his assistants scramble out of the king's bedroom.

Thomas Cromwell, who was waiting outside the door, entered the room and poured the king a glass of strong drink with great winking to ease the pain in his leg.

Henry VIII drank half a glass of spirits from Thomas Cromwell's hand, watched his secretary stuff a pillow under his injured leg, and was very satisfied with Thomas Cromwell's wit: " Thank you, sir. It makes me feel better."

"Your Majesty, do you need Ms. Jane to come and take care of you?" Thomas Cromwell didn't want the king to have troubles, in order to prevent the succession of the young master from causing domestic chaos and foreign enemies invading.

"Okay, I'm not a young man without mental capacity." Henry VIII's satisfaction with Thomas Cromwell immediately disappeared, and he waved his hand with some annoyance: "Ms. Jane is a gentle and submissive woman." Lady, but her shallow knowledge is not enough to assuage my spiritual emptiness."

Speaking of this, Henry VIII missed Catherine of Aragon, lamenting that among the women he met, only Catherine had the virtues of a queen and admirable knowledge, unlike Anne Boleyn or Jane Seymour, Something is always missing: "Let Ms. Zhen go home temporarily! I will take her back to the Whitehall Palace after I have settled everything right now."

"Yes." Thomas Cromwell was about to pass on the king's order when he heard Henry VIII ask the moment he turned around: "How are Fitzroy and Eleanor Brandon? "

The king, who was drunk with strong alcohol, was not as sleepy as Thomas Cromwell thought. Instead, he stared at the strong and calm chief secretary with eagle-like eyes, and his voice was as cold as a Welsh drummer. Xue: "Tell me, what happened to my son and daughter-in-law."

"Your Majesty, the Earl of Gilbert has sent the Countess of Nottingham to London, and the Duke of Suffolk has sent the best doctor to Northern England." When Thomas Cromwell said this, he was very worried about Henry VIII. Angrily, Shihui asked people to drag him out and behead him.

But Thomas Cromwell waited for a long time before he heard Henry VIII's roar.

"Get out."

Thomas Cromwell immediately left the king's room as relieved as the court doctor just now, leaving Henry VIII alone in the room, hissing in pain.

I don't know if it's a heartache or a leg injury.

………… I am the dividing line…………………

There is no doubt that Henry Fitzroy's serious illness is what Henry VIII is most concerned about during this sudden plague.

The king, who was nearly fifty years old, only got two men and two women from two marriages and more than a dozen mistresses, and one of the boys was an illegitimate child who was dying.

So when William Tudor was taken to Whitehall Palace, Henry VIII struggled out of bed and held the Prince of Wales' face to see if he had any discomfort.

"Is he okay?" Henry VIII asked Mrs. Brian, who was in charge of taking care of William Tudor, and the latter said a little uneasy: "Your Highness has not shown signs of illness so far. We will check the temperature of the Prince of Wales every day."

Although Earl Gilbert did not explain the condition of the Earl of Nottingham, everyone knew that the Earl of Nottingham would definitely not be able to survive this summer, otherwise Earl Gilbert would not rush the pregnant Countess of Nottingham to London.

"Even so, you can't relax your attention to him. You must ensure that the Prince of Wales will not come into contact with any sick people." Henry VIII would never allow Henry Fitzroy to have an accident, and William Tudor followed closely Something went wrong.To put it even more cruelly, if he had to lose a son, it would have been better Henry Fitzroy than William Tudor.

"Yes." Mrs. Bryan knew very well that because of Henry Fitzroy, St. James's Palace was full of soldiers, lest something happened to the Prince of Wales, His Majesty the King would string their heads by the moat of the Tower of London.

"Don't receive anyone in the past few months, and don't leave the palace easily." Henry VIII had just warned the Prince of Wales's attendants on the front foot, and then slowed down his tone and asked William Tudor, who was only ten years old: "If you Let someone else answer for any needs, and I will ask Cromwell to guarantee the supplies to St James's Palace."

"Good father, please take care of yourself." William Tudor did not stay in Whitehall Palace for long, and was sent back to St. James' Palace by Mrs. Bryan, where there were fewer guests.

"Go and send some soldiers to guard outside St. James's Palace, and don't let some people who don't have eyes mix in." Henry VIII vowed to protect his only legitimate child, but this did not prevent him from making multiple preparations: "Let the Marquis of Dorset take good care of my daughter-in-law, no matter what happens, make sure she can give birth to my grandson smoothly. In addition, double the number of maids around the queen, and prohibit her from contacting those A half-hearted musician."

"Yes." The moment Thomas Cromwell looked up, he subtly met the Duke of Suffolk's eyes. Both of them decided something tacitly, but they didn't reach an agreement immediately.

"If Her Majesty the Queen gives birth to a son after the death of the Earl of Nottingham, then Henry will not divorce him, but will favor the Boleyn family again." That night, the Duke of Suffolk, who lived in the Whitehall Palace, sent Thomas Cullen Will invited to his room.

Also present were Jane Seymour and her brother Thomas Seymour.It's just that the former has an anxious and pale appearance, while the latter has an ambitious face eager to try.

"And by that time, not only us, but Ms. Jane and Sir Seymour will also have a hard time." The Duke of Suffolk said, casting his eyes on the faces of the Seymour siblings, and pouring a bottle of red potion Gently handing it to Jane Seymour's hand, the latter shrank her right arm in fright and almost touched her brother.

The Duke of Suffolk pretended not to see Jane Seymour's fear, and looked like a ghost in the dim candlelight: "Now you have two choices."

"One, wait for the witch to give birth to a son, and then you and your father and brother will be beheaded in the Tower of London."

"Second, send that witch and her brother to the guillotine. As a reward for your courage, Mr. Cromwell and I will support you as Queen of England." The Duke of Suffolk couldn't understand why Henry VIII would watch The average Jane Seymour, but as a wife, she is indeed a good choice.

Docile, not much trouble.

Neither a three-pointer like Catherine of Aragon, nor an aggressive Anne Boleyn.

"So, Ms. Jane, what is your choice?"

The Duke of Suffolk looked playfully at the hesitant Jane Seymour, and Thomas Seymour, who was eager to make the decision for her.

Finally, before the candles on the table were about to burn out, Jane Seymour reached out in the darkness and took the bottle of potion into her bosom.
