Your Majesty, what is going on?" In the conference room of the British Embassy in China,
Zhu Erdian asked Isabella with a philosophical look on his face.
Isabella's eyes wandered, while fiddling with her ponytail, she said in an obviously guilty voice: "Your Majesty? What do you mean? I just..."
In fact, her reaction after seeing Zhu Erdian had long been exposed. The characteristic of this guy is that if she knows that unexpected situations may happen and is on guard, then she can still respond well no matter how unexpected the accident is. But
As long as there is a sudden attack when she is not prepared, she will be unable to defend herself and will be thrown into chaos. Like today, Isabella was having fun, and she met Zhu Erdian without any preparation, and she was stunned.
know what to do.
Zhu Erdian was not a fool. When he saw Isabella, she saw herself petrified there as if she had seen a ghost, and of course he realized that the problem was not simple.
Speaking of which, Lin Youde had no intention of deliberately hiding Isabella's origins, but it was indeed beyond his expectation that it was revealed so easily.
"Okay," Lin Youde said to Isabella, "Mr. Zhu Erdian has seen through it, so stop pretending." "Is this okay?" Isabella asked Lin Youde with wide eyes.
Lin Youde shrugged: "Nothing is wrong." Then he turned to Zhu Erdian: "Mr. Zhu Erdian, this matter is a long story, and because of some complicated and unbelievable reasons, I advise you not to go too deep into this matter.
Things are better."
"You" Zhu Erdian frowned, "You actually kidnapped the Queen of England?" "I was not kidnapped." Isabella immediately jumped out to clarify, "Lou, I just..." "Elope?" Zhu Erdian changed.
word.
"No, it's not an elopement. It's just." Isabella thought for a long time before pulling on Lin Youde's sleeve before she could think of the right words. It was as if the little daughter-in-law was asking her husband for help.
Lin Youde cleared his throat in a serious manner and said: "Actually, she was tired of being a queen and wanted to come out to see the real world, so she left the palace with the help of Miss Churchill and others, and then met her by chance.
I avoided luck."
The expression on Zhu Erdian's face vividly showed what he was thinking in his heart at this moment: "Who are you trying to bluff!" Lin Youde curled his lips, decisively stopped talking, and put on a solemn tone to confirm to Zhu Erdian again: "Do you really want to know the truth?
Let me remind you that sometimes the truth is the most destructive, and not knowing it can make you feel more comfortable. So I have to confirm with you again, do you really want to know?"
"Please tell me the truth." Zhu Erdian replied without hesitation.
"Even if this truth will destroy a certain part of your worldview?" Lin Youde asked again.
Zhu Erdian nodded.
So Lin Youde glanced at Isabella.
Isabella was still a little hesitant: "Do you really want to say it? Haven't we already decided to put these things aside for the time being?" "Say, Bella, we need to face the British problem sooner or later, let Zhu Erdian go as soon as possible.
It's not necessarily a bad thing if you know." Isabella nodded slowly, and then began to tell Zhu Erdian everything that happened six months ago.
Zhu Erdian couldn't hide his surprise at all.
Britain is actually controlled by the criminal genius who created the gold heist that shocked both the government and the public?
Was Wensley Churchill actually the accomplice of that genius? The one on the throne is actually an impostor, and the real queen was fed a large amount of drugs and almost became a puppet and plaything controlled by Moriarty?
No matter which one of the above seems to be nonsense on the level of fantasy, but all these fantasy together are very strange and make people feel like "maybe it is true."
Zhu Erdian knows that Chinese people often say that things will turn into reverse when they reach their extremes, and this is probably the case in this matter.
The most important thing is that Zhu Erdian is very sure that the girl in front of him is the Queen of England, even though she is wearing a fashionable dress produced by Lin Ji, even though Lin Youde shows an intimate attitude that goes far beyond the normal interaction between men and women, even though she abandons the prudent British style.
Her hair was changed to a frivolous twin-tail hairstyle, but her elegant and luxurious temperament remained the same. It was the aura accumulated from being in a high position for a long time, and it was not something that could be changed easily.
….
In addition, from a political and diplomatic perspective, there is little point in fabricating such a ridiculous story... The previous clamor of newspaper public opinion could be seen as some kind of feint to attract attention, but this time it really makes no sense. Change it.
Thinking about it from a different perspective, Lin Youde should have made up a more reliable story if he really wanted to impress Zhu Erdian.
The more Zhu Erdian thought about it, the more he felt that the words coming out of the mouth of Isabella in front of him were "true" and credible. So after Isabella said, "That's all I have to say," Zhu Erdian spoke cautiously: "Excuse me.
, What plans does Your Majesty have in the future? Are you going to defeat that Moriarty and regain the throne?"
Isabella asked with a surprised look on her face: "You actually believe it? Believe such a ridiculous story?"
Zhu Erdian wondered what if I don't believe it, but he didn't say anything. He just waited for Isabella - or Lin Youde - to answer his question.
"I originally wanted to defeat the devil immediately and take back the throne." Isabella said and glanced at Lin Youde. This detail could not escape Zhu Erdian's eyes. "But later I found that it was too difficult. Mainly because of Moriarty.
I have created a fake queen, and I have no way to clearly prove my identity. Only a few people in the empire have seen me up close. More importantly, I don’t know who to trust, Moriarty.
The Freemasons hiding in London have deeply penetrated into the upper class society, and every gentleman is likely to betray me."
Zhu Erdian secretly wondered whether this "gentleman who might betray" included himself?
He shook his head slightly to wave away this ominous thought, and briefly summarized Isabella's words: "In other words, you have no plans to return to the throne for the time being?"
Isabella nodded.
"Lin Nathung's nonsense just now is actually right. I have indeed stayed on the throne for too long, so that my vision has become narrow and short-sighted. So I want to see the world from other perspectives and understand more.
Those things that cannot be seen on the throne."
Isabella's words were sincere, and Zhu Erdian believed that these were the true thoughts of the girl in front of him. He couldn't help but think of the girl's expression when he first met Isabella on the street, and how happy she was when she held the candied haws and rattle.
, a smile like that of a pure girl who has never experienced anything in the world.
…maybe that’s not bad either.
Zhu Erdian thought.
But there was one more thing he cared about.
"I understand your thoughts, but Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Lin?"
Isabella did not answer Zhu Erdian's question directly, but just glanced at Lin Youde with a smile. This charming glance made Zhu Erdian realize that Her Majesty the Queen might never return to the throne in London.
〖中〗 Isn’t there an old saying in China: A married daughter throws away water.
After understanding this, Zhu Erdian turned his attention to Lin Youde.
"Lord Lin, do you really intend to sit back and watch Britain be dominated by a criminal genius?"
"I'm not the world's policeman," Lin Youde shrugged. "And with my strength now, it's a bit difficult to take care of Britain's housework."
"But you can support..."
Lin Youde interrupted Zhu Erdian: "Before that Moriarty messes up something, no one will stand up against her, Mr. Zhu Erdian. So even if I plan to do something, I have to wait for the opportunity before the opportunity comes.
We are staying put and recuperating our strength. In addition, I do not intend to let Isabella leave me. She belongs to me now, not to Britain."
Zhu Erdian looked at Lin Youde, who issued a grand declaration of ownership, and then at Isabella, who just complained, "Don't be so straightforward." He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"I understand, then I will pretend to know nothing for the time being, and secretly observe and screen out those gentlemen who are dissatisfied with Moriarty.
"This is the best." Lin Youde reached out to Zhu Erdian as he said, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation, Mr. Ambassador to China." (To be continued.)
