When Mary left England, Jojo came to see her off on behalf of the Bennet family.
"Are you really not going to take your child? I have a way to ensure that he won't be in an accident, on the boat."
"No, he is my disgrace." Mary's voice was firm.
"I thought the matter between you and Sgardall was voluntary." It is a shame to say that the child, waiting for the child to grow up, you, the mother, will be his shame.
"I was tempted." Mary's voice trailed off, but she still blamed others for the fault.
Qiao Qiao was very disappointed. It might be a good thing for such a Mary that the child does not follow her.She doesn't want that child to become a serial killer, sociopath or something because of an unhappy childhood.
"Then I hope that after you arrive in India, you will not be easily seduced. You should understand how much trouble your actions have caused your family."
"At the beginning you..."
"At the beginning, I solved my problems by myself, but we helped you solve them every time. Dad was seriously injured because of you. If something happened to him this time, Mary, do you think you Do you still have a chance to stand here? This is the last time I warn you, if you cause trouble that you can't solve yourself, then there will be no Mary Bennett in the future."
Qiao Qiao warned that she didn't want to wipe the ass of this troublesome sister all the time.She and Mary didn't have any sisterhood, but it was just for the sake of the rest of the Bennet family.
If she really wiped out this insignificant face, then she really won't care about Mary's life or death.
Watching the ship go away, Jojo walked to the carriage with Uncle Gardner and Aunt Gardner on his arms.
The atmosphere on the carriage was a little quiet.
"Lydia, I have already asked someone to make the blueprint of the set of jewelry you sent last time. The finished product is really great, do you want to go and see it?" Gardner Uncle's voice broke the silence in the carriage.
Qiao Qiao also remembered her forest series jewelry design, which was the first time she designed a whole set of jewelry, so she naturally wanted to see how the effect would be.
So the three came to Gardner's house.A lot of precious stones were used in that set of jewelry, and the cost was naturally very high, so Mr. Gardner locked it in his safe.
Qiao Qiao looked at the dazzling gemstone jewelry in the jewelry box. Although there were still some flaws in the cutting, it was impossible. Due to the limitation of craftsmanship, it was amazing to be able to achieve such an effect.
"It's not the first time I've seen it, but every time it makes me feel dizzy." No woman can resist the temptation of gemstones, and Mrs. Gardner is the same, but she also knows that this pair of jewelry means a lot , is not something she can wear.
"Dear Lydia, I plan to put this set of jewelry on display in the store for a period of time, and then sell it by auction." This will not only build up the reputation of his store, but also allow this set of jewelry to be sold at the highest price .
"Then uncle must do a good job of security." Everyone knows the law and order in London. If the money is not exposed, it will not be worth the loss if it causes trouble.
"I have already found security personnel. After this transaction is completed, I want to move again." Mr. Gardner also knows that the neighborhood they live in is not safe.
Jojo supports Mr. Gardner's plan.This uncle should be regarded as a rare smart person. It is no wonder that he can start his family business in London from scratch.
"Have you found the address?"
"Not yet, I have been busy with this set of jewelry during this time."
"Uncle, what do you think of Baker Street?"
"Baker Street?"
"I have a house there. Although the law and order there is not as good as Pall Mall Street, but because Mycroft's brother Sherlock Holmes rents there, McCoff will add some security measures to that street."
"We will consider it." Although Mr. Gardner had never met that Mr. Holmes, he knew something about the Holmes family.This is an ancient family that has always served the royal family.
Qiao Qiao also mentioned that Mr. Gardner's status made it difficult for him to live in a place where high officials and nobles lived.Even if it was Pall Mall Street, she was able to buy the house here because of McCoff's secret manipulation.
British society can be said to reveal class distinctions everywhere.
Jojo rejects Mr. Gardner's idea of trying on the jewelry.If she likes, she can use an atomic printer to print out more perfect jewelry than this.
She has no shortage of fabulous jewellery.
After returning home, Jojo was about to wash and rest when he heard Betty say that McCoff had come.
"Mycroft." Putting on casual home clothes, Jojo came to the living room.
"Lydia," Mycroft stood up, walked to Jojo, took her hand, kissed her, and then pulled her to the sofa without letting go.
"What is this?" Qiao Qiao looked at the document that appeared in front of him.
"This is all my assets over the years. As long as you sign, they will all be in your name."
"Is this the sincerity you said?" Jojo raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know how to quantify my friendship with you. Sweet words may not impress you, and of course these things cannot impress you. But this is a way I can express my friendship."
When it was rare to see McCoff so clumsy, Jojo smiled. She knew what McCoff meant and was willing to accept it.
Many people will say that money is not the criterion for measuring feelings, and Jojo agrees.But the men who propose with all their wealth are at least more sincere than the men who only promise verbally.
Seeing the smile on Jojo's face, Mycroft immediately understood, and took out the engagement ring he had prepared a long time ago.
"Dear Lydia, I love you, marry me."
Qiao Qiao looked at the man kneeling on one knee, smiled and stretched out his hand.
Looking at the ring on his finger: "Now, Mr. Holmes, you can kiss your fiancée lightly."
"My pleasure!"
Originally, according to the engagement agreement, Jojo should take the new fiancé to Longbourne to talk to the Bennetts.However, there was an unexpected situation on the side of Mycroft. The queen's husband, Prince Albert, was sick because of the cold when he went to Cambridge to visit the Prince of Wales.
The Queen and Prince Albert had a very good relationship before, but Prince Albert's serious illness brought the Queen close to collapse.Naturally, Mycroft couldn't leave London at this time.
Qiaoqiao naturally wouldn't make trouble for no reason, so she wrote a letter back.Thinking that Elizabeth and Darcy were also in Longbourne, the matter of Prince Albert's serious illness was implicitly included.
Darcy's niece, the Fitzwilliam family, has always had considerable power in the House of Lords.
Jojo doesn't know the history of Britain, and this should be a parallel time and space.After all, she knew England without Pride and Prejudice, or Sherlock Holmes.
"Lydia, do you have medicine for treating wind-cold patients?" On this day, Jojo and McCoff had dinner together, and he was only free to accompany her during this period of time.Because of Prince Albert's serious illness, it's not very appropriate to go out to see the opera or something.
So the two can only stay at home and date.But they all felt that there was nothing wrong with that.
"You want to save Prince Albert?" Didn't it mean that the British didn't like the German prince.
"With Prince Albert around, the Queen can rule the empire better."
"I thought a constitutional monarchy was a historical necessity."
"Your Majesty is a wise monarch," Mycroft raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, if you want to save someone, I need to see the patient first. My dear, the human body is a very complicated system. You can't cure a cold with wind-cold medicine. Although the medicine I prepared is very effective, But the medicine is also very effective, and if the patient can't bear it, the loss will outweigh the gain. Therefore, we must see the patient first, and then determine the dosage to use."
Just like Mr. Bennett, she carefully prepared the diluted potion after checking his physical condition.Randomly giving medicine to people is not saving people but harming them.
Mycroft understood what Jojo said, and felt it was very reasonable.
Nodding his head, he didn't say any more.
The next day, Jojo received a reply from Elizabeth, saying that she and Darcy would come to London soon.Jane took care of the family.
Darcy's family has their own house in London, and Jojo doesn't need to tidy up anything.Just tell me your address again.
That night, Jojo slept soundly.
"Owner."
"Betty? What's the matter?"
"Mr. Holmes is here."
"It's so late? What's the matter?" Jojo asked without stopping, and with Betty's help, he quickly tidied himself up.
Go downstairs and find Mycroft standing under the stairs.
"Mycroft?"
"Lydia, come into the palace with me." Mycroft's tone was a little displeased, but it wasn't to her, and Jojo didn't ask too much, McCoff would never harm her.
"Is it because of Prince Albert's illness?"
"Yes."
"Then wait a minute, I'll get a medicine box." She couldn't conjure medicine out of thin air at that time.
Jojo brought a small medicine box.
The two walked out of the door, and Qiao Qiao looked at the luxurious carriage at the door, and followed Mycroft up without saying anything.
"I didn't want to involve you in the first place, but I didn't expect something to go wrong with Southgate." Mycroft's tone was cold.
"Dr Oulter Southgate?"
"Yes, in order to gain the queen's trust, I pushed you out after Dr. Watson (this Watson is not that Watson) declared the prince innocent." Unreputable doctor Southgate sentenced to death.
"People will always change." Jojo comforted Mycroft, let alone at the center of political power.There are a few people in ancient and modern China and abroad who are not fascinated by this overwhelming wealth and power.
Pall Mall Street is not far from Buckingham Palace, and the carriage arrived after a short walk.
"Honey, don't be afraid, just follow me." Mycroft reassured.
Qiao Qiao is not afraid, and it is not that she has never seen the world.It's just that I don't know much about the etiquette of meeting the queen here.This is also human nature. According to Jojo's thinking, he has no intention of getting involved with the British royal family at all.A month ago she hadn't decided whether to settle in the UK or the US.
But now, after she goes back, she still needs to find someone to teach her.
But obviously the queen is not in the mood to care about whether Jojo's etiquette is up to standard. She didn't say anything about being too young after seeing Jojo, obviously because she already knew that she was McCaughey's fiancée.
Qiao Qiao was taken to a very luxurious bedroom, and the man lying on the large velvet bed was dying.
Qiao Qiao didn't care about other things and went forward to check the prince's pulse, as if he was exhausted.
"How?" The Queen's eyes were full of anxiety and despair.In fact, deep down in his heart, he already knew that his husband's life was not long.The reason why Qiao Qiao was asked to come was because he couldn't accept the result.
"His Royal Highness's condition is very bad. The previous treatment was not suitable, which made his minor ailment become a serious one. Your Majesty should also know the current situation of the Prince, so I can only be a dead horse as a living doctor." Such a disease In the interstellar era, it is natural that the medicine will cure the disease, or it will not develop into such a situation at all.
But now, Prince Albert couldn't take a drop of medicine at all, because not only would it not save him, but it would also become his death talisman.
"Lydia, do you really have a solution?" Mycroft frowned, he didn't expect Prince Albert to be on the verge of death.
"This method comes from a miracle doctor in the East, Your Majesty. Afterwards, you need to ask some servants to obey my arrangement." Qiao Qiao didn't have time to explain carefully.If you delay any longer, Prince Albert will die.
"Good! Good! Albert, you go and order, and everyone must obey Miss Bennet."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Albert was Prince Albert's attendant, and he naturally did not want the Prince to die.
"Mycroft, go to my house right now. There is a big wooden box under the bed in my room. Take it here, hurry up!"
"Mr. Albert, ask someone to remove all the Prince's clothes, and just cover your body with a breathable fabric made of gauze."
"Come on, boil the hot water. I didn't tell you to stop and you kept boiling the hot water. When I ordered you to bring the water in, there must be hot water coming in."
"I need a clean little room, and a barrel the size of a full grown man, not ten inches or so tall."
Jojo issued a series of orders, and the entire Buckingham Palace moved.
The queen on the side looked at Qiao Qiao's commanding manner, and suddenly felt more confident.She went to arrange the room herself.
Soon everything that Jojo wanted was ready, and Jojo's method of treating Prince Albert was fumigation.
She has spiritual fragrance, so the success rate of this method is very impressive.
Putting Prince Albert in the small room, Jojo opened the box that McCoff brought, and there were bags of traditional Chinese medicine inside.She picked out some mild medicines.These are just a cover for her spiritual fragrance.Ask the servants to pour the herbs into the barrel.Qiao Qiao put a few spirit incenses into the barrel.
Immediately, water vapor and aroma filled the room, and Qiaoqiao directly asked Prince Albert to be placed on top of the wooden barrel with the strongest aroma.
"Keep adding water until the aroma here disappears." Qiao Qiao left the room after giving orders.
"Miss Bennet?" The queen came up to meet her.
"Your Majesty, everything depends on God's arrangement. You can go in and see His Royal Highness in an hour. But don't stay there too long."
The Queen nodded immediately after hearing Jojo's words.
"Are you tired?" Mycroft stepped forward, carefully checked Qiaoqiao's face, and was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong with her.
"The medicinal materials are all ready-made, and I'm not tired." Qiao Qiao smiled.
It's not easy for Mycroft to let Jojo go to rest now. He directly asked the Queen for instructions, and then took Jojo to the next room.
"Lie down here and rest for a while, and I will accompany you."
"it is good."
Although Qiao Qiao felt that there was nothing wrong with her, she would not refuse McCoff's kindness.Leaning on his shoulder, he fell asleep really quickly.
Mycroft, who supported Qiao Qiao to make her lean more comfortably, was very sober. He kept deducing the consequences of the success or failure of this matter and how he should deal with it in his mind.
No matter what, he always wanted to protect Lydia from harm.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Qiao was awakened by a loud voice.
"Mr. Holmes, Miss Bennett, Prince Albert is awake!" Albert's aide excitedly broke into the room where they were, bringing good news.
I don't know when McCoff prepared the warm water, but after wiping his face, Jojo woke up completely.
She and Mycroft went to the small room, knocked on the door, got permission, and walked in.
It was found that Prince Albert was really awake, and the Queen was with him, holding hands.
"Your Majesty, I need to feel the pulse of His Royal Highness now."
"Okay, okay!" Queen Victoria now trusts Jojo so much, she can do whatever she says.
Jojo felt the pulse of Prince Albert, and finally rescued him from a near-death situation.
"His Royal Highness's condition has improved, but we can't take it lightly. When you wake up, ask the servants below to bring some easily digestible liquid food to His Royal Highness."
"it is good."
"When the smell in this room dissipates, the prince can return to his own bedroom. I will prescribe some medicine for His Highness. As long as you take the medicine on time and take a good rest, you should be fine."
"Thank you very much, Miss Bennet." The queen was sincerely grateful.
"This is what I should do, and it is God's blessing. When I was in the United States, I met a very powerful oriental doctor. I saved him, so he taught me some ways to cure diseases and save people. Even if those medicinal materials are in the East, Only the royal family and nobles can use it." Qiao Qiao was not lying at all, the medicinal materials in her wooden box were all rare.
According to Prince Albert's situation, Qiao Qiao diluted some medicine and left it to Albert's attendant, explaining to him how to take it.When things were over, he returned home with Mycroft.
When they came out of Buckingham Palace, it was already daylight, and the royal carriage was parked on Pall Mall Street, attracting a lot of onlookers.But McCoff didn't care at all, and directly helped Qiao Qiao back to her house.
"I really worked hard on you last night. I'll send you up to rest."
"Mycroft, you don't have to do this. I'm not tired. I'll let Betty cook some food later, and I'll go to rest after eating. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it first."
Jojo knew that with such a big event, McCoff would definitely have a lot of follow-up to deal with.
"Okay, I will leave two people at the door to protect you. If you don't have to go out today, don't go out. Of course, if strangers come to visit, don't let people in."
"I see, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. Let's go."
After seeing off McCoff, who was very mother-in-law today, Jojo asked Betty to cook some vegetable porridge for herself.
After eating, I went upstairs to sleep.
Word quickly spread of what happened at Buckingham Palace last night, and Prince Albert's recovery was not just a matter for the royal family.The royal husband has a pivotal position in the British political arena.
For this news, some are happy and some are unhappy, but whether they are happy or unhappy, they must show a happy attitude.
The happiest one should be Edward, Prince of Wales. He knows his mother's feelings for his father. If his father really fell ill and died because of visiting him, his mother would never forgive him.
And this will be a stain that he can't wash off in his life.
And none of this will happen again, because his father came back to life.
"What's the background of that Miss Bennett? I want to find a chance and I should thank her well." The Prince of Wales asked his entourage, Lord Eli Foster.
Lord Eli Foster, who was well acquainted with the Prince of Wales's philandering troubles, persuaded this time.
"Your Highness, this lady is Holmes' fiancée."
"Holmes, hiss~" The Prince of Wales thought of the gentleman who was deeply trusted by his mother, and the two of them also had some intersections when they were young. Tsk, the past is unbearable, and the Prince of Wales suddenly had no other thoughts.
Qiao Qiao didn't know that there was another shameless prince who wanted to attack her, if she knew, she would definitely give him a big gift.So that he can no longer be romantic.
Because of Prince Albert's recovery, the whole of London became lively. The queen is in a good mood, and the people below can be in a good mood.
The story of Jojo's treatment of Prince Albert has spread throughout London, and many people are very curious about her.But because of McCaw's protection, except for some high-ranking people, most people don't know the specific identity of Qiao Qiao.
All the disturbances were stopped by Mycroft, except for Jojo, accompanied by McCoff these days, he would go to the palace for follow-up consultation with Prince Albert.The rest of the time, he stayed at his own home obediently.
Originally, Jojo thought that she would need to avoid the limelight for a while, but a tabloid in London broke the gossip that the Prince of Wales was fooling around with an actress.It immediately attracted the attention of all the people to the Prince of Wales.
The people of the corrupt country have always been very interested in the gossip about the royal family in their country.
"You did it?" Jojo's tone was determined.
"Sometimes the Prince of Wales is still useful." Mycroft didn't feel that there was anything wrong with doing so.He thought of what he had learned from Lord Eli Foster.Felt an opportunity to teach the Prince of Wales a lesson.
"Let's not talk about this, Elizabeth and Darcy have arrived in London, they will come to visit tomorrow, how about, meet me. Although you have only met not long ago, after all, your identities are different now. "
"Of course, my pleasure."
Instead, Mycroft wanted to find a time to go to Longbourne and ask Mr. Bennet to marry Lydia to him.
"Lydia!"
"Lizzie, slow down, and be careful of the baby in your stomach." Seeing Elizabeth's excited look, Jojo broke into a cold sweat for her.
"Lydia, you have no idea how delighted mother, father and I were when I received your letter, and father said that he was at Longbourn waiting for Mr. Holmes to pass."
Elizabeth took Jojo's hand, obviously wanting to chat with her about some private topics between sisters.
Jojo saw that McCoff had already talked with Darcy, so he followed Elizabeth to the inner room.
"Mr. Holmes has proposed?" Elizabeth saw the ring on Jojo's hand.
"Yes. Originally we planned to go to Longborn, but you know something happened in the palace, and McCoff couldn't go away. So we thought about waiting until we were done with our work for a while."
"Of course it's very important." Elizabeth had been popularized by the Sherlock Holmes family on the way here.Mrs. Darcy has done it for so many years, and she also knows that there are many things that cannot be missed, which are related to the family's honor.
"Has your wedding date been fixed yet?"
"Probably after this year's social season, I'm not in a hurry." Qiao Qiao was indeed not in a hurry. She is only 22 years old now, and she is not considered an old girl in this era.Well, she has indeed been married once.
Elizabeth paused when she heard her sister's words, and then realized that it seemed like this.
Lydia is not an unmarried girl with a reputation beyond the sky.Even if this marriage is repeated, it will not affect her much.In a word, Lydia can afford it too.
"Okay, as long as you know what's in your mind."
"Lizzie, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"what's up?"
"It was a coincidence that I saved His Royal Highness Prince Albert this time. Mycroft said that maybe the Queen will grant me a request. What do you think if I ask Her Majesty to let Jane's son inherit Longbourn?"
"Is this really possible?" Elizabeth asked in surprise.
If you want to say who hates Collins the most among the five sisters, it is definitely Elizabeth.After she and Darcy got married, it was inevitable to visit Rosings Manor.Every time she had to watch that fool Collins court Mrs. de Bourgh.
Such a person is the heir of Longborn, and he is insulting papa and the whole family.It was because of him that every time she went to Rosings Manor, she was overwhelmed by that annoying lady.
Jojo saw that Elizabeth's eyes were full of surprises, and he was not at all unhappy.I am satisfied with the behavior of this sister.
"I haven't told McCoff about this idea yet. If you agree, then I will talk to McCoff later."
"I agree, of course I agree. If Jane's child inherits Longbourne, then we can go back whenever we want in the future. Bought a house. But she's spent most of her life there, and Longborn is what she's most used to."
"I think so too. The environment here in London is really not suitable for retirement. I originally thought about buying a manor near Longborn, but you know that suitable manors are very rare."
"Lydia, are you going to buy a manor?" Elizabeth was surprised. The value of a manor cannot be bought for thousands of pounds or tens of thousands of pounds.
"At the beginning, I didn't plan to stay in London for a long time. You know, the air here is too unfriendly. I have been asking lawyers to find me a suitable estate, but I haven't found one I like."
Now is not the era when the aristocracy has completely collapsed, and good manors are basically in the hands of the aristocrats.If you want to find something that fits Jojo's aesthetics, you still need to search slowly.
"Lydia, what have you been doing in the United States these past few years?" Elizabeth originally thought that Jojo only had some property, and they had already spent it on buying a house in London.
"It's nothing special, just invested in the largest power plant in the United States, and dug a gold mine. These two are considered the largest projects, and there are some piecemeal investments. Because the partners are strong, they can also bring me Great income."
Elizabeth: I suddenly found out that my sister is a super rich woman.
"...Ahem, I never knew you had such a big business."
"I didn't tell mother, you know, and if she did, all Longbourn would know at once. I'm afraid I won't even be able to go home."
Elizabeth nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Since you agree with my proposal, then I will do so. You can also talk to Mr. Darcy."
"it is good."
Jojo originally thought that Elizabeth would talk to Mr. Darcy after going back, but she asked in person when she was having lunch with them.
Qiao Qiao was a little confused, what kind of operation was this.
"This is a matter of the Bennet family. As long as Mr. Bennet agrees, I have no objection." Mr. Darcy's tone could not hear any emotion.Jojo felt a little embarrassed. Elizabeth did this, as if they were forcing Mr. Darcy to agree.
"Mycroft, what do you think?" Jojo immediately remedied, look, you are not the only one being asked now.Nor did she consult with Mycroft.
"Of course I listen to you, Lydia." Mycroft didn't force himself at all, and his tone was flattering.This made Mr. Darcy look up at them.
What to watch, it's the first time I've heard it, okay?
"Lydia, Mr. Holmes is so kind to you." Elizabeth said enviously.
Qiao Qiao saw that Darcy's hand holding the fork paused, so she knew that the couple was having a fight.
"My brother-in-law is also very kind to you, Lizzie, and I told Catherine that all the roses in Pemberley Garden are your favorite."
Seeing the smile on Elizabeth's face, Qiao Qiao felt a lot more sincere, and he was also relieved.Hey, she really has a hard time dealing with the affairs between other people's husbands and wives.
Fortunately, Mycroft was reliable. He took over the conversation and chatted with Darcy about the industry in India.
After seeing off the Darcy couple, Jojo asked Betty to bring him a cup of Xiaoshi tea.
"Your second sister is very stubborn."
"Lizzie has always been like this. She is the daughter who is most like her father, but she has not learned how to tolerate her father." Elizabeth's popularity has never been very good.Except for her sister Jane, Charlotte is the only good friend outside.She can always make others speechless when she speaks sometimes.
"Mr. Darcy is a real gentleman."
"He used to be arrogant in Longborn, and meeting Lizzie was a test given to him by God. One thing is one thing, and the things between husband and wife are not so clear in a few words."
"You want Lady Bingley's child to inherit Longbourn?"
"Yes. Jane is the eldest sister, the most suitable. Mycroft, do you think this matter can be successful?"
"It's not a big problem." It was just an order for the queen.The Bennetts also had only a little bit of land.
"That's good, Dad will be very happy to know."
Sure enough, as Prince Albert recovered, Jojo was called into the palace again by the Queen.
When asked about the reward he wanted, Qiao Qiao talked about his family's affairs, and wanted to give the eldest sister's children the inheritance rights of the family.
Naturally, the queen would not refuse such a request. For the queen, this was just a trivial matter.
Qiao Qiao who got the queen's answer was naturally also very satisfied.Jojo didn't say no when the Queen asked her to visit her youngest son, Prince Leopold.
Prince Leopold has hemophilia, an inherited bleeding disorder.This genetic disease is very difficult to cure.Inbreeding in the European royal family made this disease also known as royal disease.
"Your Majesty, this disease is inherited. There is no possibility of cure. Marriage and birth of close relatives is the biggest cause of this disease. This is why most of this disease occurs in the royal family."
Queen Victoria was not stupid, she understood what Jojo meant, and her relatives were indeed spread throughout the European royal families.It's just that the royal marriage is a political need, and even she can't change it.
"Although I can't cure Prince Leopold, I can make some medicinal incense. Keeping him by my side all the time can relieve his symptoms and prolong his life. Your Majesty, that's all I can do .”
"No, you have done enough, I want to thank you, Miss Lydia." Hemophilia spread in the royal families of Europe, and even the best doctors couldn't do anything. It is God's blessing to relieve symptoms and prolong life.
Qiao Qiao also talked about some dietary taboos and things to pay attention to in life.
It was already afternoon when she and Mycroft left Buckingham Palace.
"Honey, my parents heard about our engagement. They will come to London in a few days and want to meet you."
"Oh sure, what day is it? What do I need to prepare? Do your parents like anything? I mean I can prepare it in advance."
"My dear, you don't need to be nervous. It's just a meeting. My father is in London on business, and he wants to meet you by the way. Holmes will not interfere with any of Holmes' decisions."
"Well, I believe so."
"Mom likes to watch Shakespeare, but with my father, I probably don't need our company. I think Betty's craftsmanship will definitely surprise them."
"Oh, then I have to draw up a menu." Qiao Qiao thought that he would eat in a high-end hotel outside, but it doesn't matter at home.She is also confident in Betty's craftsmanship.
"Of course, I'll help."
"Of course you must help. Call Sherlock over then."
"Mom will be very happy."
"You didn't go back last Christmas. Mrs. Holmes must miss you very much."
"Then it's Sherlock's disobedience."
"When did he hear what you said?"
"……you're right."

"Are you really not going to take your child? I have a way to ensure that he won't be in an accident, on the boat."
"No, he is my disgrace." Mary's voice was firm.
"I thought the matter between you and Sgardall was voluntary." It is a shame to say that the child, waiting for the child to grow up, you, the mother, will be his shame.
"I was tempted." Mary's voice trailed off, but she still blamed others for the fault.
Qiao Qiao was very disappointed. It might be a good thing for such a Mary that the child does not follow her.She doesn't want that child to become a serial killer, sociopath or something because of an unhappy childhood.
"Then I hope that after you arrive in India, you will not be easily seduced. You should understand how much trouble your actions have caused your family."
"At the beginning you..."
"At the beginning, I solved my problems by myself, but we helped you solve them every time. Dad was seriously injured because of you. If something happened to him this time, Mary, do you think you Do you still have a chance to stand here? This is the last time I warn you, if you cause trouble that you can't solve yourself, then there will be no Mary Bennett in the future."
Qiao Qiao warned that she didn't want to wipe the ass of this troublesome sister all the time.She and Mary didn't have any sisterhood, but it was just for the sake of the rest of the Bennet family.
If she really wiped out this insignificant face, then she really won't care about Mary's life or death.
Watching the ship go away, Jojo walked to the carriage with Uncle Gardner and Aunt Gardner on his arms.
The atmosphere on the carriage was a little quiet.
"Lydia, I have already asked someone to make the blueprint of the set of jewelry you sent last time. The finished product is really great, do you want to go and see it?" Gardner Uncle's voice broke the silence in the carriage.
Qiao Qiao also remembered her forest series jewelry design, which was the first time she designed a whole set of jewelry, so she naturally wanted to see how the effect would be.
So the three came to Gardner's house.A lot of precious stones were used in that set of jewelry, and the cost was naturally very high, so Mr. Gardner locked it in his safe.
Qiao Qiao looked at the dazzling gemstone jewelry in the jewelry box. Although there were still some flaws in the cutting, it was impossible. Due to the limitation of craftsmanship, it was amazing to be able to achieve such an effect.
"It's not the first time I've seen it, but every time it makes me feel dizzy." No woman can resist the temptation of gemstones, and Mrs. Gardner is the same, but she also knows that this pair of jewelry means a lot , is not something she can wear.
"Dear Lydia, I plan to put this set of jewelry on display in the store for a period of time, and then sell it by auction." This will not only build up the reputation of his store, but also allow this set of jewelry to be sold at the highest price .
"Then uncle must do a good job of security." Everyone knows the law and order in London. If the money is not exposed, it will not be worth the loss if it causes trouble.
"I have already found security personnel. After this transaction is completed, I want to move again." Mr. Gardner also knows that the neighborhood they live in is not safe.
Jojo supports Mr. Gardner's plan.This uncle should be regarded as a rare smart person. It is no wonder that he can start his family business in London from scratch.
"Have you found the address?"
"Not yet, I have been busy with this set of jewelry during this time."
"Uncle, what do you think of Baker Street?"
"Baker Street?"
"I have a house there. Although the law and order there is not as good as Pall Mall Street, but because Mycroft's brother Sherlock Holmes rents there, McCoff will add some security measures to that street."
"We will consider it." Although Mr. Gardner had never met that Mr. Holmes, he knew something about the Holmes family.This is an ancient family that has always served the royal family.
Qiao Qiao also mentioned that Mr. Gardner's status made it difficult for him to live in a place where high officials and nobles lived.Even if it was Pall Mall Street, she was able to buy the house here because of McCoff's secret manipulation.
British society can be said to reveal class distinctions everywhere.
Jojo rejects Mr. Gardner's idea of trying on the jewelry.If she likes, she can use an atomic printer to print out more perfect jewelry than this.
She has no shortage of fabulous jewellery.
After returning home, Jojo was about to wash and rest when he heard Betty say that McCoff had come.
"Mycroft." Putting on casual home clothes, Jojo came to the living room.
"Lydia," Mycroft stood up, walked to Jojo, took her hand, kissed her, and then pulled her to the sofa without letting go.
"What is this?" Qiao Qiao looked at the document that appeared in front of him.
"This is all my assets over the years. As long as you sign, they will all be in your name."
"Is this the sincerity you said?" Jojo raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know how to quantify my friendship with you. Sweet words may not impress you, and of course these things cannot impress you. But this is a way I can express my friendship."
When it was rare to see McCoff so clumsy, Jojo smiled. She knew what McCoff meant and was willing to accept it.
Many people will say that money is not the criterion for measuring feelings, and Jojo agrees.But the men who propose with all their wealth are at least more sincere than the men who only promise verbally.
Seeing the smile on Jojo's face, Mycroft immediately understood, and took out the engagement ring he had prepared a long time ago.
"Dear Lydia, I love you, marry me."
Qiao Qiao looked at the man kneeling on one knee, smiled and stretched out his hand.
Looking at the ring on his finger: "Now, Mr. Holmes, you can kiss your fiancée lightly."
"My pleasure!"
Originally, according to the engagement agreement, Jojo should take the new fiancé to Longbourne to talk to the Bennetts.However, there was an unexpected situation on the side of Mycroft. The queen's husband, Prince Albert, was sick because of the cold when he went to Cambridge to visit the Prince of Wales.
The Queen and Prince Albert had a very good relationship before, but Prince Albert's serious illness brought the Queen close to collapse.Naturally, Mycroft couldn't leave London at this time.
Qiaoqiao naturally wouldn't make trouble for no reason, so she wrote a letter back.Thinking that Elizabeth and Darcy were also in Longbourne, the matter of Prince Albert's serious illness was implicitly included.
Darcy's niece, the Fitzwilliam family, has always had considerable power in the House of Lords.
Jojo doesn't know the history of Britain, and this should be a parallel time and space.After all, she knew England without Pride and Prejudice, or Sherlock Holmes.
"Lydia, do you have medicine for treating wind-cold patients?" On this day, Jojo and McCoff had dinner together, and he was only free to accompany her during this period of time.Because of Prince Albert's serious illness, it's not very appropriate to go out to see the opera or something.
So the two can only stay at home and date.But they all felt that there was nothing wrong with that.
"You want to save Prince Albert?" Didn't it mean that the British didn't like the German prince.
"With Prince Albert around, the Queen can rule the empire better."
"I thought a constitutional monarchy was a historical necessity."
"Your Majesty is a wise monarch," Mycroft raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, if you want to save someone, I need to see the patient first. My dear, the human body is a very complicated system. You can't cure a cold with wind-cold medicine. Although the medicine I prepared is very effective, But the medicine is also very effective, and if the patient can't bear it, the loss will outweigh the gain. Therefore, we must see the patient first, and then determine the dosage to use."
Just like Mr. Bennett, she carefully prepared the diluted potion after checking his physical condition.Randomly giving medicine to people is not saving people but harming them.
Mycroft understood what Jojo said, and felt it was very reasonable.
Nodding his head, he didn't say any more.
The next day, Jojo received a reply from Elizabeth, saying that she and Darcy would come to London soon.Jane took care of the family.
Darcy's family has their own house in London, and Jojo doesn't need to tidy up anything.Just tell me your address again.
That night, Jojo slept soundly.
"Owner."
"Betty? What's the matter?"
"Mr. Holmes is here."
"It's so late? What's the matter?" Jojo asked without stopping, and with Betty's help, he quickly tidied himself up.
Go downstairs and find Mycroft standing under the stairs.
"Mycroft?"
"Lydia, come into the palace with me." Mycroft's tone was a little displeased, but it wasn't to her, and Jojo didn't ask too much, McCoff would never harm her.
"Is it because of Prince Albert's illness?"
"Yes."
"Then wait a minute, I'll get a medicine box." She couldn't conjure medicine out of thin air at that time.
Jojo brought a small medicine box.
The two walked out of the door, and Qiao Qiao looked at the luxurious carriage at the door, and followed Mycroft up without saying anything.
"I didn't want to involve you in the first place, but I didn't expect something to go wrong with Southgate." Mycroft's tone was cold.
"Dr Oulter Southgate?"
"Yes, in order to gain the queen's trust, I pushed you out after Dr. Watson (this Watson is not that Watson) declared the prince innocent." Unreputable doctor Southgate sentenced to death.
"People will always change." Jojo comforted Mycroft, let alone at the center of political power.There are a few people in ancient and modern China and abroad who are not fascinated by this overwhelming wealth and power.
Pall Mall Street is not far from Buckingham Palace, and the carriage arrived after a short walk.
"Honey, don't be afraid, just follow me." Mycroft reassured.
Qiao Qiao is not afraid, and it is not that she has never seen the world.It's just that I don't know much about the etiquette of meeting the queen here.This is also human nature. According to Jojo's thinking, he has no intention of getting involved with the British royal family at all.A month ago she hadn't decided whether to settle in the UK or the US.
But now, after she goes back, she still needs to find someone to teach her.
But obviously the queen is not in the mood to care about whether Jojo's etiquette is up to standard. She didn't say anything about being too young after seeing Jojo, obviously because she already knew that she was McCaughey's fiancée.
Qiao Qiao was taken to a very luxurious bedroom, and the man lying on the large velvet bed was dying.
Qiao Qiao didn't care about other things and went forward to check the prince's pulse, as if he was exhausted.
"How?" The Queen's eyes were full of anxiety and despair.In fact, deep down in his heart, he already knew that his husband's life was not long.The reason why Qiao Qiao was asked to come was because he couldn't accept the result.
"His Royal Highness's condition is very bad. The previous treatment was not suitable, which made his minor ailment become a serious one. Your Majesty should also know the current situation of the Prince, so I can only be a dead horse as a living doctor." Such a disease In the interstellar era, it is natural that the medicine will cure the disease, or it will not develop into such a situation at all.
But now, Prince Albert couldn't take a drop of medicine at all, because not only would it not save him, but it would also become his death talisman.
"Lydia, do you really have a solution?" Mycroft frowned, he didn't expect Prince Albert to be on the verge of death.
"This method comes from a miracle doctor in the East, Your Majesty. Afterwards, you need to ask some servants to obey my arrangement." Qiao Qiao didn't have time to explain carefully.If you delay any longer, Prince Albert will die.
"Good! Good! Albert, you go and order, and everyone must obey Miss Bennet."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Albert was Prince Albert's attendant, and he naturally did not want the Prince to die.
"Mycroft, go to my house right now. There is a big wooden box under the bed in my room. Take it here, hurry up!"
"Mr. Albert, ask someone to remove all the Prince's clothes, and just cover your body with a breathable fabric made of gauze."
"Come on, boil the hot water. I didn't tell you to stop and you kept boiling the hot water. When I ordered you to bring the water in, there must be hot water coming in."
"I need a clean little room, and a barrel the size of a full grown man, not ten inches or so tall."
Jojo issued a series of orders, and the entire Buckingham Palace moved.
The queen on the side looked at Qiao Qiao's commanding manner, and suddenly felt more confident.She went to arrange the room herself.
Soon everything that Jojo wanted was ready, and Jojo's method of treating Prince Albert was fumigation.
She has spiritual fragrance, so the success rate of this method is very impressive.
Putting Prince Albert in the small room, Jojo opened the box that McCoff brought, and there were bags of traditional Chinese medicine inside.She picked out some mild medicines.These are just a cover for her spiritual fragrance.Ask the servants to pour the herbs into the barrel.Qiao Qiao put a few spirit incenses into the barrel.
Immediately, water vapor and aroma filled the room, and Qiaoqiao directly asked Prince Albert to be placed on top of the wooden barrel with the strongest aroma.
"Keep adding water until the aroma here disappears." Qiao Qiao left the room after giving orders.
"Miss Bennet?" The queen came up to meet her.
"Your Majesty, everything depends on God's arrangement. You can go in and see His Royal Highness in an hour. But don't stay there too long."
The Queen nodded immediately after hearing Jojo's words.
"Are you tired?" Mycroft stepped forward, carefully checked Qiaoqiao's face, and was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong with her.
"The medicinal materials are all ready-made, and I'm not tired." Qiao Qiao smiled.
It's not easy for Mycroft to let Jojo go to rest now. He directly asked the Queen for instructions, and then took Jojo to the next room.
"Lie down here and rest for a while, and I will accompany you."
"it is good."
Although Qiao Qiao felt that there was nothing wrong with her, she would not refuse McCoff's kindness.Leaning on his shoulder, he fell asleep really quickly.
Mycroft, who supported Qiao Qiao to make her lean more comfortably, was very sober. He kept deducing the consequences of the success or failure of this matter and how he should deal with it in his mind.
No matter what, he always wanted to protect Lydia from harm.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Qiao was awakened by a loud voice.
"Mr. Holmes, Miss Bennett, Prince Albert is awake!" Albert's aide excitedly broke into the room where they were, bringing good news.
I don't know when McCoff prepared the warm water, but after wiping his face, Jojo woke up completely.
She and Mycroft went to the small room, knocked on the door, got permission, and walked in.
It was found that Prince Albert was really awake, and the Queen was with him, holding hands.
"Your Majesty, I need to feel the pulse of His Royal Highness now."
"Okay, okay!" Queen Victoria now trusts Jojo so much, she can do whatever she says.
Jojo felt the pulse of Prince Albert, and finally rescued him from a near-death situation.
"His Royal Highness's condition has improved, but we can't take it lightly. When you wake up, ask the servants below to bring some easily digestible liquid food to His Royal Highness."
"it is good."
"When the smell in this room dissipates, the prince can return to his own bedroom. I will prescribe some medicine for His Highness. As long as you take the medicine on time and take a good rest, you should be fine."
"Thank you very much, Miss Bennet." The queen was sincerely grateful.
"This is what I should do, and it is God's blessing. When I was in the United States, I met a very powerful oriental doctor. I saved him, so he taught me some ways to cure diseases and save people. Even if those medicinal materials are in the East, Only the royal family and nobles can use it." Qiao Qiao was not lying at all, the medicinal materials in her wooden box were all rare.
According to Prince Albert's situation, Qiao Qiao diluted some medicine and left it to Albert's attendant, explaining to him how to take it.When things were over, he returned home with Mycroft.
When they came out of Buckingham Palace, it was already daylight, and the royal carriage was parked on Pall Mall Street, attracting a lot of onlookers.But McCoff didn't care at all, and directly helped Qiao Qiao back to her house.
"I really worked hard on you last night. I'll send you up to rest."
"Mycroft, you don't have to do this. I'm not tired. I'll let Betty cook some food later, and I'll go to rest after eating. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it first."
Jojo knew that with such a big event, McCoff would definitely have a lot of follow-up to deal with.
"Okay, I will leave two people at the door to protect you. If you don't have to go out today, don't go out. Of course, if strangers come to visit, don't let people in."
"I see, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. Let's go."
After seeing off McCoff, who was very mother-in-law today, Jojo asked Betty to cook some vegetable porridge for herself.
After eating, I went upstairs to sleep.
Word quickly spread of what happened at Buckingham Palace last night, and Prince Albert's recovery was not just a matter for the royal family.The royal husband has a pivotal position in the British political arena.
For this news, some are happy and some are unhappy, but whether they are happy or unhappy, they must show a happy attitude.
The happiest one should be Edward, Prince of Wales. He knows his mother's feelings for his father. If his father really fell ill and died because of visiting him, his mother would never forgive him.
And this will be a stain that he can't wash off in his life.
And none of this will happen again, because his father came back to life.
"What's the background of that Miss Bennett? I want to find a chance and I should thank her well." The Prince of Wales asked his entourage, Lord Eli Foster.
Lord Eli Foster, who was well acquainted with the Prince of Wales's philandering troubles, persuaded this time.
"Your Highness, this lady is Holmes' fiancée."
"Holmes, hiss~" The Prince of Wales thought of the gentleman who was deeply trusted by his mother, and the two of them also had some intersections when they were young. Tsk, the past is unbearable, and the Prince of Wales suddenly had no other thoughts.
Qiao Qiao didn't know that there was another shameless prince who wanted to attack her, if she knew, she would definitely give him a big gift.So that he can no longer be romantic.
Because of Prince Albert's recovery, the whole of London became lively. The queen is in a good mood, and the people below can be in a good mood.
The story of Jojo's treatment of Prince Albert has spread throughout London, and many people are very curious about her.But because of McCaw's protection, except for some high-ranking people, most people don't know the specific identity of Qiao Qiao.
All the disturbances were stopped by Mycroft, except for Jojo, accompanied by McCoff these days, he would go to the palace for follow-up consultation with Prince Albert.The rest of the time, he stayed at his own home obediently.
Originally, Jojo thought that she would need to avoid the limelight for a while, but a tabloid in London broke the gossip that the Prince of Wales was fooling around with an actress.It immediately attracted the attention of all the people to the Prince of Wales.
The people of the corrupt country have always been very interested in the gossip about the royal family in their country.
"You did it?" Jojo's tone was determined.
"Sometimes the Prince of Wales is still useful." Mycroft didn't feel that there was anything wrong with doing so.He thought of what he had learned from Lord Eli Foster.Felt an opportunity to teach the Prince of Wales a lesson.
"Let's not talk about this, Elizabeth and Darcy have arrived in London, they will come to visit tomorrow, how about, meet me. Although you have only met not long ago, after all, your identities are different now. "
"Of course, my pleasure."
Instead, Mycroft wanted to find a time to go to Longbourne and ask Mr. Bennet to marry Lydia to him.
"Lydia!"
"Lizzie, slow down, and be careful of the baby in your stomach." Seeing Elizabeth's excited look, Jojo broke into a cold sweat for her.
"Lydia, you have no idea how delighted mother, father and I were when I received your letter, and father said that he was at Longbourn waiting for Mr. Holmes to pass."
Elizabeth took Jojo's hand, obviously wanting to chat with her about some private topics between sisters.
Jojo saw that McCoff had already talked with Darcy, so he followed Elizabeth to the inner room.
"Mr. Holmes has proposed?" Elizabeth saw the ring on Jojo's hand.
"Yes. Originally we planned to go to Longborn, but you know something happened in the palace, and McCoff couldn't go away. So we thought about waiting until we were done with our work for a while."
"Of course it's very important." Elizabeth had been popularized by the Sherlock Holmes family on the way here.Mrs. Darcy has done it for so many years, and she also knows that there are many things that cannot be missed, which are related to the family's honor.
"Has your wedding date been fixed yet?"
"Probably after this year's social season, I'm not in a hurry." Qiao Qiao was indeed not in a hurry. She is only 22 years old now, and she is not considered an old girl in this era.Well, she has indeed been married once.
Elizabeth paused when she heard her sister's words, and then realized that it seemed like this.
Lydia is not an unmarried girl with a reputation beyond the sky.Even if this marriage is repeated, it will not affect her much.In a word, Lydia can afford it too.
"Okay, as long as you know what's in your mind."
"Lizzie, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"what's up?"
"It was a coincidence that I saved His Royal Highness Prince Albert this time. Mycroft said that maybe the Queen will grant me a request. What do you think if I ask Her Majesty to let Jane's son inherit Longbourn?"
"Is this really possible?" Elizabeth asked in surprise.
If you want to say who hates Collins the most among the five sisters, it is definitely Elizabeth.After she and Darcy got married, it was inevitable to visit Rosings Manor.Every time she had to watch that fool Collins court Mrs. de Bourgh.
Such a person is the heir of Longborn, and he is insulting papa and the whole family.It was because of him that every time she went to Rosings Manor, she was overwhelmed by that annoying lady.
Jojo saw that Elizabeth's eyes were full of surprises, and he was not at all unhappy.I am satisfied with the behavior of this sister.
"I haven't told McCoff about this idea yet. If you agree, then I will talk to McCoff later."
"I agree, of course I agree. If Jane's child inherits Longbourne, then we can go back whenever we want in the future. Bought a house. But she's spent most of her life there, and Longborn is what she's most used to."
"I think so too. The environment here in London is really not suitable for retirement. I originally thought about buying a manor near Longborn, but you know that suitable manors are very rare."
"Lydia, are you going to buy a manor?" Elizabeth was surprised. The value of a manor cannot be bought for thousands of pounds or tens of thousands of pounds.
"At the beginning, I didn't plan to stay in London for a long time. You know, the air here is too unfriendly. I have been asking lawyers to find me a suitable estate, but I haven't found one I like."
Now is not the era when the aristocracy has completely collapsed, and good manors are basically in the hands of the aristocrats.If you want to find something that fits Jojo's aesthetics, you still need to search slowly.
"Lydia, what have you been doing in the United States these past few years?" Elizabeth originally thought that Jojo only had some property, and they had already spent it on buying a house in London.
"It's nothing special, just invested in the largest power plant in the United States, and dug a gold mine. These two are considered the largest projects, and there are some piecemeal investments. Because the partners are strong, they can also bring me Great income."
Elizabeth: I suddenly found out that my sister is a super rich woman.
"...Ahem, I never knew you had such a big business."
"I didn't tell mother, you know, and if she did, all Longbourn would know at once. I'm afraid I won't even be able to go home."
Elizabeth nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Since you agree with my proposal, then I will do so. You can also talk to Mr. Darcy."
"it is good."
Jojo originally thought that Elizabeth would talk to Mr. Darcy after going back, but she asked in person when she was having lunch with them.
Qiao Qiao was a little confused, what kind of operation was this.
"This is a matter of the Bennet family. As long as Mr. Bennet agrees, I have no objection." Mr. Darcy's tone could not hear any emotion.Jojo felt a little embarrassed. Elizabeth did this, as if they were forcing Mr. Darcy to agree.
"Mycroft, what do you think?" Jojo immediately remedied, look, you are not the only one being asked now.Nor did she consult with Mycroft.
"Of course I listen to you, Lydia." Mycroft didn't force himself at all, and his tone was flattering.This made Mr. Darcy look up at them.
What to watch, it's the first time I've heard it, okay?
"Lydia, Mr. Holmes is so kind to you." Elizabeth said enviously.
Qiao Qiao saw that Darcy's hand holding the fork paused, so she knew that the couple was having a fight.
"My brother-in-law is also very kind to you, Lizzie, and I told Catherine that all the roses in Pemberley Garden are your favorite."
Seeing the smile on Elizabeth's face, Qiao Qiao felt a lot more sincere, and he was also relieved.Hey, she really has a hard time dealing with the affairs between other people's husbands and wives.
Fortunately, Mycroft was reliable. He took over the conversation and chatted with Darcy about the industry in India.
After seeing off the Darcy couple, Jojo asked Betty to bring him a cup of Xiaoshi tea.
"Your second sister is very stubborn."
"Lizzie has always been like this. She is the daughter who is most like her father, but she has not learned how to tolerate her father." Elizabeth's popularity has never been very good.Except for her sister Jane, Charlotte is the only good friend outside.She can always make others speechless when she speaks sometimes.
"Mr. Darcy is a real gentleman."
"He used to be arrogant in Longborn, and meeting Lizzie was a test given to him by God. One thing is one thing, and the things between husband and wife are not so clear in a few words."
"You want Lady Bingley's child to inherit Longbourn?"
"Yes. Jane is the eldest sister, the most suitable. Mycroft, do you think this matter can be successful?"
"It's not a big problem." It was just an order for the queen.The Bennetts also had only a little bit of land.
"That's good, Dad will be very happy to know."
Sure enough, as Prince Albert recovered, Jojo was called into the palace again by the Queen.
When asked about the reward he wanted, Qiao Qiao talked about his family's affairs, and wanted to give the eldest sister's children the inheritance rights of the family.
Naturally, the queen would not refuse such a request. For the queen, this was just a trivial matter.
Qiao Qiao who got the queen's answer was naturally also very satisfied.Jojo didn't say no when the Queen asked her to visit her youngest son, Prince Leopold.
Prince Leopold has hemophilia, an inherited bleeding disorder.This genetic disease is very difficult to cure.Inbreeding in the European royal family made this disease also known as royal disease.
"Your Majesty, this disease is inherited. There is no possibility of cure. Marriage and birth of close relatives is the biggest cause of this disease. This is why most of this disease occurs in the royal family."
Queen Victoria was not stupid, she understood what Jojo meant, and her relatives were indeed spread throughout the European royal families.It's just that the royal marriage is a political need, and even she can't change it.
"Although I can't cure Prince Leopold, I can make some medicinal incense. Keeping him by my side all the time can relieve his symptoms and prolong his life. Your Majesty, that's all I can do .”
"No, you have done enough, I want to thank you, Miss Lydia." Hemophilia spread in the royal families of Europe, and even the best doctors couldn't do anything. It is God's blessing to relieve symptoms and prolong life.
Qiao Qiao also talked about some dietary taboos and things to pay attention to in life.
It was already afternoon when she and Mycroft left Buckingham Palace.
"Honey, my parents heard about our engagement. They will come to London in a few days and want to meet you."
"Oh sure, what day is it? What do I need to prepare? Do your parents like anything? I mean I can prepare it in advance."
"My dear, you don't need to be nervous. It's just a meeting. My father is in London on business, and he wants to meet you by the way. Holmes will not interfere with any of Holmes' decisions."
"Well, I believe so."
"Mom likes to watch Shakespeare, but with my father, I probably don't need our company. I think Betty's craftsmanship will definitely surprise them."
"Oh, then I have to draw up a menu." Qiao Qiao thought that he would eat in a high-end hotel outside, but it doesn't matter at home.She is also confident in Betty's craftsmanship.
"Of course, I'll help."
"Of course you must help. Call Sherlock over then."
"Mom will be very happy."
"You didn't go back last Christmas. Mrs. Holmes must miss you very much."
"Then it's Sherlock's disobedience."
"When did he hear what you said?"
"……you're right."
