Chapter 227: Parliamentary Movements

In a secluded villa on the outskirts of London, Councillor White enjoyed his wife's breakfast as usual, and his wife and children sat around him.

"Honey, you've been spending less and less time with me and my children lately." At the dinner table, his wife, Laura, expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Dear Laura, you know that being a member of parliament requires a busy schedule of work at all times. I have to work hard to give you and your children a better place to live. ”

White looked at his beautiful wife and didn't know what to say. He was part of the plan to assassinate the Queen, and has been busy lately because he often has to attend secret meetings and sometimes does not return home for days on end.

But White can't be honest with his wife, right?

You must know that the person Lola respects the most is Elizabeth, and if she knows that she is involved in this kind of plan, the consequences are really unimaginable.

"Maybe you should take a leave of absence to take a good rest, if you continue to work like this, I'm really afraid your body won't be able to stand it." Laura looked at her husband, who had lost a lot of weight recently, and said distressedly: "Honey, I don't ask much for my children, as long as I have a healthy family, as long as I can see you healthy every day, it is enough." ”

White also considered leaving the center of the political whirlpool and becoming a small councillor with little real power, and living happily with his family. However, he also understands a truth: people are born in officialdom involuntarily! Even if he wanted to leave, some people insisted on holding on to him and refused to let go.

He is already part of a certain interest group, and if he leaves this group, death awaits him, and even his family will not survive. This situation is very common in the political arena, and interest groups are absolutely ruthless to those who dare to leave or betray the team in order to ensure that they keep their surnames secret.

Sometimes White felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and he wondered why he had joined the program in the first place. Maybe it's to get more power, maybe it's to make the life of his wife, children, and himself better.

"I'll tell you the truth, my dear. Actually, I also want to stop and rest for a while. However, you should also know that as a member of Parliament, if I encounter a major incident, I may even have my statutory leave cancelled. White shrugged his shoulders at his wife and made a helpless gesture.

Although Laura has never been involved in politics, as the wife of a parliamentarian, she still understands certain things. It is not easy for a politician for a husband to find time to enjoy breakfast with his family from time to time in such a busy work. Some of the parliamentarian wives she knew rarely saw their husbands for a year. Compared to them, he is happy.

White wiped out the last small piece of steak, took a sip of water, and said, "It's rare to have a break today, I'll take you wherever you and the child want to go." ”

It happened to be Sunday, and there was no update on the interest group that assassinated the queen, so he spent the whole day at leisure with his family.

"Jason, my child, where do you want Daddy to accompany you today?" It is said that men who have children will become very family-oriented, and White belongs to this type. For his son, who is only seven years old, he is always a father who tries to meet every small request.

Jason shook his little head and thought for a while, and said in a childish tone: "Hmm~ I want to go to Hyde Park, and my mother said that Her Majesty lives there." ”

Listening to his son's words, the expression on White's face froze. The word 'Queen' sounded so harsh now, and he felt a deep sense of guilt every time he heard it since he joined the program. It's like when a person who has done something bad is baptized by the Lord, he will feel guilty unnaturally.

"Hehe, okay. Then we're going to Westminster City today, and the zoo is the best in London. In order to forget the negative emotions in his heart, White forced a smile.

'Ding Dong~' At this time, the doorbell outside the house rang.

"Who could be here so early?" White couldn't help frowning, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

Laura stood up: "I'll go open the door, you can accompany Jason more." After saying that, without waiting for her husband to respond, she left the restaurant and went outside to open the door.

When the door to the living room opened, a man about White's age was standing outside. It's just that this man is slightly chubby, and he always has a smiling face, and the first feeling is that 'he's not a bad guy'.

"Good morning, ma'am. Excuse me, is Congressman Wright at home? The man asked politely, smiling.

"My husband is at home, who are you?" Lola was sure that she had never seen the man, but the other party used honorifics, and she had come to find her husband, so it was difficult to turn him away.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renaud, and I'm a member of parliament, and I'm a friend of White's work. Renault said humbly, then took out another business card and handed it over.

"Hello, Councillor Reynolds, my husband is inside, you can go straight in and find him." After receiving the business card, Laura invited Renault in.

"Then bother." Renaud nodded slightly, and then went straight into the house to find White.

Closing the door, Laura walked in with her, and when she saw her husband talking quietly to the councillor named Reynolds, she sensed that her husband's vacation might be over again.

But what's the solution? It is said that men put their careers first, and a man who shoulders the whole family can't stay at home with his family all day, right?

Lola gathered up the dishes on the table with a little frustration, and from time to time cast a hopeful glance at her husband, hoping that the Renault councillor would finish the matter quickly, and that her husband would stay with her and the children.

However, her hopes were destined to be dashed, and after White finished talking to Renault, he came over and said, "Sorry, my dear, today's agreement may not be reached. There's still important business to attend to on the council's side, so"

Lola interrupted White: "I understand, if it's really important, then you can go ahead and get busy." My kids and I can go to Hyde Park too, so you don't have to worry about us. ”

White cupped Laura's cheek, kissed her lightly on the lips, and said, "I'm sorry, dear." Next time, next time, I will keep the promise. After saying that, he resolutely took Renault out of the house.

"Hey~" Lola looked at her husband who was leaving, and sighed heavily. I thought I could spend a good time with my husband today, but I didn't expect that such a small request would become a luxury, maybe I really shouldn't have too high expectations.

Little Jason, who was standing on the side, seemed to sense his mother's grief, so he just silently held his mother's hand and never complained from beginning to end

Outside the villa, White sat in Renault's black Audi, and as soon as he fastened his seat belt, he couldn't wait to ask: "Renault, is what you just said true?" Duke Robert, he was caught by the Queen's men? ”

"True, my dear friend. It was Councillor Brand's men who saw with their own eyes, Duke Robert and his son were arrested red-handed at the London airport. At this moment, Renault's face had long since lost his previous smile, and was replaced by a solemn expression.

"So, will there be a problem with our plan?" White couldn't help but worry, after all, Robert was different from himself, he and the interest group led by Brand were completely equal, two groups with common interests and goals, and there was no control or control between the two.

In other words, if Duke Robert is caught, it is entirely possible to confess all the people of the council.

"We're just left to fate." Renault shrugged his shoulders and started the car and walked away.

In the Queen's office, Ye Qi sat across from Elizabeth, and on the desk between the two sat an A4 paper listing the names of a dozen people, including White and Renault.

Elizabeth picked up the paper and carefully reviewed it, frowning deeply, "I should have guessed that it would be that Bland, who wanted me to step down since a few years ago, so that the puppet monarch he controlled could ascend to the throne and achieve that ulterior purpose. ”

"What are Her Majesty's plans now?"

Ye Qi and Su Ziyuan both felt quite a headache about this matter, this Brandt can be regarded as a quite remarkable figure in the parliament, his status is second only to the British prime minister, and the interest group centered on him is one of the three major forces in the parliament.

According to Ye Qi's understanding, the three major forces in the parliament are: the ** faction formed with the prime minister as the center, the faction led by the queen who supports the royal family, and the interest group of Brand.

Of the three forces, the prime minister has always maintained a neutral attitude. Because Brand is prejudiced against the Queen, he has been trying to pull Elizabeth out of power.

"Hmph, since they even did the assassination, then there is no room for negotiation between me and them." Elizabeth's gaze suddenly became profitable, and the momentum of being a queen made her feel a sense of not being angry and arrogant.

Indeed, as she said, after this incident, the two forces have basically torn their faces, and then they will usher in a situation of endless death.

"By the way, why didn't Miss Su come with you?" Elizabeth couldn't help but ask strangely when she saw that Su Ziyuan was not there.

Ye Qi smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Actually, I discussed with Su Ziyuan before I came, and I knew that the queen would definitely make a move on this Brant, so she prepared to go in advance." Your Majesty, please rest assured that no matter what time it is, we at Wanhua Valley will have your solid backing. ”

Ye Qi's words can be regarded as an expression of attitude towards Wanhua Valley.
