Chapter 229: Her Majesty the Depressed Queen
After the incident of the queen's beheading, the security of the entire Buckingham Palace was also raised several levels, and even Wanhua Valley also recruited many disciples outside to act as a security force.
Now every time the queen eats, basically every dish has to be checked by the potters to make sure that there are no poisonous substances before they can be served on the table.
As for the undercover attendant who was in charge of Gu before, he had long since disappeared, and after the butler's verification, the attendant was newly recruited because of a lack of manpower, and he didn't expect that person to be an undercover agent carefully arranged by others.
After this incident, the steward's management of the attendants inside Buckingham Palace also became stricter. Whether it is the background check of new employees or the regulation of existing personnel, it has gone down to every detail, and even introduced a system of mutual monitoring in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Under such strict precautions inside and outside, it can be said that even the world's top killers don't want to get involved. After all, the personnel of Wanhua Valley are not comparable to ordinary guards, they not only have professional security methods, but also everyone has internal energy, and their sensitivity and perception will be higher than that of ordinary guards.
"Mr. Ye, it's really hard for you, you not only saved me and Little Mary, but also guarded twenty-four hours a day, your kindness to our royal family is too great, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you."
Walking on the shores of Lake St. James, Elizabeth held Princess Mary's hand, while Ye Qi escorted her with six disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
In the two days that the queen woke up, even Ye Qi acted as a temporary guard, and it was the kind that did not rest twenty-four hours a day. Fortunately, since the activation of the main class, it will basically not be a big problem if you don't sleep for a few days in a row, at most you just feel a little unaccustomed.
"Your Majesty, Dear Queen, while protecting you, it is also to safeguard the interests of our Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, after all, you are an ally with us." Ye Qi said euphemistically.
Everyone stopped at a rest area by the lake, because these two days are extraordinary times, so the royal gardens are not open to the public, and the lakeside that used to be lively is now not half a tourist at all.
"Mr. Ye, you can also sit, it's hard to come out to relax, and you don't have to be so restrained." Queen Elizabeth sat down at one end of the bench, then pointed to the other end and invited Leafy to sit down with her.
Then the Queen's gaze lingered on the lake for a long time, as if caught in a memory: "I have lived here with my father since I was very young, and I was about the same age as little Mary at that time. Then it was World War II, when my family left Buckingham Palace, and it wasn't until five years later that I returned again, and as heir to the throne of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. ”
Elizabeth looked at Ye Qi with a kind smile and said, "Mr. Ye, is it very strange that you say that my life is very bizarre?" When I fled, I never thought that I would return here, let alone inherit the throne, and my sister and I were just thinking about surviving. As long as I can survive, even if I am an ordinary person, I am willing. ”
Ye Qi knows that Queen Elizabeth is a person with a story, and she has read her biography on the Internet before, so it can be said that her whole body is accompanied by glory and ups and downs. These are not only reflected in political factors, even her marriage to Prince Philip has been bumpy all the way.
However, Ye Qi is only a loyal listener, and does not say anything about the gains and losses of the queen's life.
After Elizabeth finished telling about her tortuous life, she sighed: "Hey~ I nag so much, in fact, I just want you to understand Mr. Ye that I don't take my life and death so seriously." Even if I die, the first heir to the throne will always be the father of little Mary. Even if Brand wants to overthrow our House of Windsor, he must first pass the Constitution. ”
"I can understand Her Majesty's feelings, but you are now the spiritual pillar of the whole of Britain. If you are killed, I think it is not only your loved ones and friends who will suffer, but also those who support you. After a slight pause, Ye Qi continued: "You can't always hope to see the scene of relatives and enemies happy, right?" ”
"Maybe you will be unwilling, but how can you say some things accurately. Are there still fewer kings and leaders of countries who have been assassinated in history? Maybe in the future, I'll be one of them. ”
Ever since Elizabeth woke up, her mind had become a little depressed. Maybe it's because of this great change that her entire outlook on life has also changed dramatically
At this time, Su Ziyuan arrived in a hurry with Feng Xu and Bai Qian, and before her breath was even, she spoke: "Huh~ It turns out that Her Majesty is here to enjoy the scenery, I have been looking for you at Buckingham Palace for a long time and have not found you, and I thought something happened to you." ”
"Miss Su, is something wrong?" Elizabeth instinctively sensed that something big was about to happen.
Su Ziyuan waited for her breath to calm down before she said, "Her Majesty guessed right, there is indeed something big about to happen." Yesterday morning, two of our disciples from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers followed a councillor named White to the West Drayton area, and stumbled upon the fact that it was actually the venue for a secret meeting of the Brand forces. Because there were too many guards there, the two disciples didn't dare to approach, so they didn't hear what they were talking about. But I guess these people are planning their next move, and we have to be prepared for it. ”
Elizabeth got up from the bench, paced back and forth a few steps, and said unhurriedly: "Well, then please ask Miss Su for this matter, I hope that after this matter is over, we can have a better cooperation." ”
"Her Majesty laughed, haven't we been working together all the time?" Su Ziyuan didn't understand the meaning of her words, and her face was full of puzzled expressions.
However, Elizabeth only smiled faintly and did not explain much: "Okay, let's go back first." As for how to deal with the impending crisis, it is better to wait until you go back and think slowly. After saying that, she pulled Mary and left, and the disciples of Wanhua Valley who protected her also hurriedly followed.
"Wait, Ye Qi." Su Ziyuan stopped Ye Qi, who also wanted to leave together, and took his hand and asked, "What's wrong with Her Majesty today?" Why do I feel like she's become indifferent to the whole thing? Elizabeth's reaction made her feel very strange, as if she were facing a monk who had seen through the red dust.
"There's nothing strange about it, it's just that Her Majesty feels it today. After all, she is a spiritual symbol of a country, and she will adjust her mentality. Ye Qi seemed to know very well, and said in a reassuring tone.
"Cut, pretend to be mysterious." For Ye Qi's perfunctory answer, Su Ziyuan felt very dissatisfied. So I couldn't help but use the woman's nickname and glared at him hatefully.
Ye Qi could only laugh at this, and then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since there is nothing to do, then I will continue to protect Her Majesty." ”
"Hey, wait, I have important things to discuss with you." Su Ziyuan pulled him again
