After Hannah left, Coventry walked out of the palace with his hands behind his back. At the gate of the palace, he sent away the coachman who had been waiting for a long time, and stood alone in the street in the middle of the night, looking up at the stars in the sky, trying to calm himself.

As the saying goes, tolerance is greatness, and desirelessness is rigidity, but unfortunately politicians are immeasurable and insatiable. Because of this, Coventry has been unable to calm down.

If he wanted to keep his high position, he had to fulfill Henry IV's demands. However, he saw this from Hannah, and it was not as simple as he thought.

He was the one who instigated Henry IV to force Margaret to marry Liu Cheng, and if things went wrong, then what awaited him would be merciless punishment, and even the entire family. Unless His Majesty the King finds out in his conscience, he will spare himself a yard for the sake of hard work. But is it possible? According to the vampire's virtue, even if you don't destroy yourself, thank God, who can you expect his forgiveness.

The more Coventry thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more he was afraid, the more he couldn't think of an effective solution. He regretted that he shouldn't have been bored in the first place, and he had this bad idea. But what's the use of that, if it could be useful, it wouldn't be Henry IV who would be crowning his head now.

He lowered his head and walked down the deserted street with a grim expression, and before he knew it, he had walked to the door of a tavern. Coventry, who doesn't have to drink very much on weekdays, didn't know what he had in mind, so he reached out and pushed the door open.

Walking into the filthy and stinking tavern, he glanced at the various characters in the hall in disgust, and realized that he seemed so out of place in the environment. He suddenly wanted to leave this hellish place, but where else could he go to get drunk after leaving?

In desperation, he endured the strong discomfort, walked to the bar and sat down, and then waved to the bartender, "You! Bring me a bottle of Scotch whisky, I want the best!"

The bartender looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "There is no good wine in the shop, only moonshine, do you want it?"

Coventry held back his anger and warned himself not to get angry with this untouchable, "Yes!"

"Hey, hey~2 pennies!" the bartender held out a dirty palm to him almost as Coventry's voice fell.

"Give!" Coventry grimaced, tossing a coin.

The bartender quickly reached out to catch it, put the coin in his mouth, bit it hard, and then put on a puzzled face and said, "A glass of wine is two pennies, and you give me a shilling, do you want to buy six glasses?"

Ever since he met the bartender, Coventry instinctively disliked this man, and didn't even want to say a word to him, just thinking about sending him away quickly. So he said to him neatly: "You can do it!"

Seeing that he was so generous, the bartender said to him obscenely: "I don't think it's better to have three drinks of bars, and I'll give you two girls to drink the rest of the money!"

After saying this, he didn't wait for Coventry to reply, and turned around and left the bar.

After a few minutes, Coventry did not wait for the bartender to reappear, but saw two scantily clad young women walking towards him with moonshine.

They walked unhurriedly to the bar, and sat down on either side of him. After sitting down, one of them handed him a glass of moonshine, and said in a seductive tone, "My name is Anna, old gentleman, and my friend's name is Linda, and we will surely satisfy you." ”

Coventry took the glass, didn't look at her, and poured a big sip of wine.

Seeing that he didn't want to take care of himself, Anna didn't get angry, but rubbed his arm with her chest, and then persuaded him: "Old man, it's boring to drink alone, why don't I have a drink with you." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Linda, who was sitting on the other side of Coventry, hurriedly echoed: "Yes~ Let's have a drink with the three of us." ”

Coventry pushed them away in disgust, then took out two shillings and threw them on the bar, "Take the money, leave the wine, you guys get out of here!"

The two escort girls, staring at the coins on the bar with bright eyes, said loudly without thinking, "Okay! ”

After the two of them left, Coventry raised his glass and was about to take a sip, when he was suddenly interrupted, "Are you His Excellency the Marquess of Coventry?"

Coventry, without mental preparation, was called by name and title, and hurriedly looked back in the direction of the voice, but did not want to see an oriental face. Then he asked suspiciously, "Are you?"

"Hehe, Your Excellency the Marquis is really a noble man who forgets things, you and I have just met at the ceremony to celebrate the triumph, and you have forgotten me so quickly. ”

Hearing his words, Coventry reacted instantly, and hurriedly apologized to him, "God! It turned out to be Secretary Zhang, and we really have a fate!"

Senator Zhang didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly greeted: "Hehe, Your Excellency the Marquis is right, who would have thought that you and I could still meet in such a place, it's really fate!"

Coventry didn't want to talk nonsense with insignificant people, so he directly asked him the purpose of coming to the tavern, "That's true, I don't know how Secretary Zhang would come to such a place for recreation?"

If Coventry is an old fox, then Senator Zhang is an old loach.

Senator Zhang, who heard the voice, replied in a voiceless manner, "If you have nothing to do, come here for a few drinks, presumably His Excellency the Marquis is the same, right?"

Coventry didn't expect him to be so difficult, so he tried to say a word, and he threw the question back as it was.

"That's right, I'm here to relax, too. ”

Senator Zhang secretly sneered, too lazy to test each other with him, and then said calmly: "Your Excellency Marquis, since you and I met unexpectedly, then there is no need to test each other. It just so happens that I have something to ask you, so you and I should be honest with each other. ”

Coventry nodded, "Okay! ”

"Okay, so I'll get straight to the point. When my family returned to the ship, they shut themselves in their study without taking care of their official business. I wonder what happened when he went out with Her Royal Highness the Princess today?"

Senator Zhang's frankness, Coventry was very satisfied, so he also said truthfully: "I don't know the details of the story, but I am sure that the marriage between Marquis Liu and Her Royal Highness the Princess will not be too far away." ”

Coventry's answer startled Senator Zhang, and he hurriedly asked, "Really, don't make jokes at this time!"

"This kind of thing, how can I joke casually!"

After confirming the answer again, Senator Zhang's dissatisfaction was undoubtedly evident on his face. He thought about it again and again, and suddenly came up with a seemingly absurd suggestion......
