Zhou Hexuan's visit to Britain did not alarm anyone, including the Chinese minister to Britain. They disembarked quietly, found an inn in London, and went straight to Prince Albert's private house the next morning.

Song Ziwen looked at the heavily guarded palace, and he was inevitably a little apprehensive in his heart, if he was rejected by the British prince, it would be embarrassing.

"Stop!"

When they were still 5 meters away from the gate, the guards suddenly shouted.

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "I am Zhou Hexuan from China, and I want to visit His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have already said it in the telegram." ”

The guards seemed to have received the order a long time ago, and he said to Zhou Hexuan: "Please hand over the weapons on your body, and then provide identification and register." ”

Zhou Hexuan took out his passport and motioned to Sun Yongzhen to hand over the gun and dagger, and Song Ziwen and his entourage did the same, and were soon invited into a living room.

Song Ziwen looked at the room decoration casually, but he was quite surprised. Although Zhou Hexuan had long said that he was going to visit the British prince, it was still unexpected for Song Ziwen to enter the palace so smoothly.

It seems that Zhou Hexuan has a good relationship with the British royal family!

"Charles, very high...... Glad, we meet again! Prince Albert walked over with a smile.

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "Hello, Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is our friend Mr. Song Ziwen. ”

Song Ziwen hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness, it's a great honor to see you. ”

Albert took the initiative to hug Zhou Hexuan, patted each other on the shoulder and said, "Charles, our medicine is very effective, father...... My father complimented me for it. ”

Albert has been ignored by his parents since he was a child, and it is estimated that he has not received a few compliments, so it can be seen that he attaches great importance to the sulfonamide pharmaceutical factory.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the protection of Albert, the prince, Zhou Hexuan's pharmaceutical factory would have been swallowed by British capitalists long ago. Britain at this time was conservative and xenophobic, not to mention the Chinese, even the whites of continental Europe were difficult to mix in London.

Zhou Hexuan continued to talk about the other party's topic and asked, "I heard that His Majesty the King is not in good health, has he been getting better recently?" ”

"Already...... It's time to get out of bed. Albert said.

"Then I wish His Majesty the King a speedy recovery." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Albert said, "Thank you...... Thank you for your blessings. ”

The old king of England did not have a few days to live, and before the outbreak of the world economic crisis, he had already fallen ill once, and he had been lying in bed for half a year. The king's health has been poor in recent years, and he has to lie down for two or three months almost every year, which is the question of how long he can continue.

However, the old king is dispensable, although he has always been loved by the British people, but those who know the inside know understand that when it comes to major events, it is up to King Mary to make the decisions later.

As for Albert's brother Prince Edward, he will ascend the throne as king next year, and then he voluntarily abdicated because of a woman, leaving behind a beautiful talk of "not loving the country and loving the beauty".

For the British royal family, the king and queen have long been anxious, because Prince Edward's hobbies are really difficult to look at. From Frida Ward in the early years, to the Marquise de Furness, and now Mrs. Simpson, the women who have a relationship with Prince Edward are either wives or widows.

In particular, Mrs. Simpson, who caused Edward to give up the throne, had been married twice before, and the second marriage belonged to the junior to the upper throne, and had an affair with Prince Edward without divorce.

How can such a notorious woman be the queen of England?

Edward was faced with only two choices, either to give up the throne or to give up Mrs. Simpson, and he resolutely chose the former.

Prince Albert, who stuttered, became the biggest winner, and inexplicably took over as king.

It didn't take long for Albert to take the initiative to mention his brother's scandal, and this unlucky kid really dared to say it. He said indignantly: "That...... Such an American woman, who never went to college, did not ...... Without upbringing, return to the merchant ...... The merchant worked as a mistress. God, my brother must have been ...... The devil was confused, and actually wanted to marry her...... Be a princess! ”

Song Ziwen was dumbfounded when he heard it, this kind of family scandal was actually taken out to chat, did the British prince's head get into the water?

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Love always makes people blind. ”

Albert sighed, "Father...... My father was already in despair, and he said to me some time ago: 'I'm dead...... After his death, the child (Edward) would destroy himself within a year. ”

Well, Zhou Hexuan can only admire the old king for being like a god, and it took only 11 months for Prince Edward to abdicate from the throne, which can be said to have exceeded the task.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Your Royal Highness, since your brother is not qualified to be the king, then you should prepare early. ”

"I don't want to be a king," Albert became so excited that he couldn't even speak, "it's too troublesome to be a king, I don't want to be a king, how can I be a king?" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled and didn't answer again, he could see that Albert was very entangled.

Presumably, the old king had already mentioned this kind of thing to Albert, and Albert actually wanted to be king in his heart, and he wanted to be recognized by others. But he lacks confidence and is very afraid of trouble, this contradictory thinking makes him in a dilemma, and he can't hold back to find Zhou Hexuan to vent his depression.

With this kind of patience and city, fortunately he was born in the United Kingdom, a constitutional monarchy, and in ancient China, he was mostly a faint monarch, and if he didn't pay attention, he would lose his life.

Song Ziwen didn't dare to speak at all, Nima, why did he talk about the British throne? He really wanted to ask Zhou Hexuan, how good your relationship with the British prince should be, so that he would tell you all this kind of thing!

In fact, it is very understandable that Albert has no person to confide in in London, and he does not dare to chew his tongue when he meets people. It just so happened that Zhou Hexuan was Chinese, and he was 108,000 miles away from Britain, and it didn't matter if he whined in front of Zhou Hexuan.

This caused a beautiful misunderstanding, which made Song Ziwen feel that Zhou Hexuan and the British prince belonged to the kind of best friends and talked about everything. If Albert ascends the throne as king one day, Song Ziwen will definitely make a small report to Lao Jiang, saying that you can find Mingcheng for the affairs of the British side, and he is an old iron with the British king!

After talking about his brother's scandal for a long time, Albert was almost vented, and suddenly the topic changed and began to talk about literature: "Charles, your "Silver ...... The Legend of the Galactic Heroes", written really ...... It's wonderful! Can't you just write faster? Above...... Last month's serialization is broken again! ”

"Haha, that's not going to be fast." Zhou Hexuan was so happy that Churchill even sent a telegram across the ocean last year urging him to change. The future British Prime Minister didn't say anything, so you, the future king, just wait.

Albert was disappointed: "I hate ...... Serialized works. ”

Zhou Hexuan hurriedly assured that he would speed up, and finally got to the point: "Your Royal Highness, I want to visit Mr. Norman, the Governor of the Bank of England, can you help me introduce me?" ”

"That'...... That old fellow is not a good talker," said Albert, "and I can throw a ball for you...... Invite him, but don't dare to guarantee that he will come. ”

Zhou Hexuan said happily: "Then thank you." ”
