In the aviary, the beautiful and noble peacock flies up to the palm tree and looks down on the birds below. The other big birds, such as egrets and pelicans, also wanted to occupy the highest position, but they could not compete with the peacock that could fight the most, and they were so anxious that they croaked. The peacock was dissatisfied with their unself-aware protest and angrily turned on the screen to give them a little blow.

Seeing that he could not shake the peacock's position, the pelican obediently walked to the small pool in the aviary, spread his wings and jumped down, as if forgetting the shame he had just suffered, and took a leisurely bath. And the egret was still not reconciled, and circled around under the tree, trying to find a chance to defeat the peacock.

"Hehe, the competition of these birds is nothing more than this, but by brute force." Robles scoffed.

"Not really, you look at the back and bottom of the palm tree." The general put his arm around her and smiled, looking confident.

When Robles looked closely, he saw that the roots of the palm tree had rotted, and there were countless ants and ladybugs crawling on it, gnawing at the parts that were about to be lost, and only a few sparrows were pecking at the pests.

"How so?" Robles exclaimed.

"You can only see the birds that are most likely to win, but you can't see that the environment is rotting at the roots."

"What do you mean by that?" Robles suddenly nervous.

"Well, it's nothing I just want to remind you, just don't be too greedy, don't think about it." The general explained.

Robles glanced at the general and took a sip of black tea: "Then what you promised me, will you still do it?" ”

The corners of the general's mouth curled: "Of course, I will try my best to make your sister a princess." ”

Gotland was on the verge of vomiting blood as he watched from the sidelines. He clutched his napkin tightly and bit his lip, almost rushing over to beat the general.

In the past few days, Robles has been fooling around with the general, in order to let him talk more about Sally's luxury in front of the prince, and add a bargaining chip for Sally to become the prince's concubine.

Götland, however, was jealous and terrified. He originally wanted to take Dahl's family property with Robles, marry Roberts, and live a happy and safe life, enjoying prosperity and status, and no longer worrying about the future.

Who knows, Robles has become so greedy, maybe she is also too scared, and she actually plans to let her sister marry His Royal Highness the Prince!

This allowed the fear in Gottland's mind to rekindle. Robles kept saying that he wanted to marry him, but he put it off again and again, and at this stage he hooked up with the general, flattering and courteous to the general every day, and treating Gotland as air. Once Robles dumped him, then none of these family assets would have his share, and his life would return to the starting point, no, not even the starting point. The fear in Gottland's heart finally grew day by day, rising to the highest point.

It was a sunny morning, shining with sparkling snow. Finally waiting for the general to be away from Robles, Gotland finally got on top.

I saw that Roberts's complexion was excellent, and his face was filled with a smile that had not appeared for a long time. She put on gold-wire gloves and briefly touched up lipstick on her lips: "Gotland, in two hours, I'm going to leave for Modo City to pick up Sally, you watch it at home, don't let anything happen at this juncture." Especially for me that Rayla. ”

"Okay, I'll watch it for you." Gotland grimaced and sprinkled a packet of ground potato sprouts into the black tea. He thought to himself: Roberts, I'm sorry, I can't let you succeed, you can't succeed in going to Modo City to get Sally, you can't! Because I want to keep my position, and if you succeed in sending Sally to the Prince, you may do something even more excessive to me. I poisoned you this time, but you forced me, don't blame me!

Not only are the ships arriving from Modo City to Gebi Village to be checked for diseases, but also the ships from Gebi Village to Modo City. If a passenger has the potential to be contagious, the passenger is disqualified. It is precisely because of this knowledge that Gotland is proud in his heart: Roberts, you will not be able to go to Modo City now, and Sally will not want to become a princess.

Robles, however, did not notice the abnormality of Gotland's face at all, and drank the black tea with a smile.

She shook the silver teacup and said with satisfaction: "Is this a new black tea, it tastes good, you can buy more." ”

"It's not bought, ma'am, it's made by the winery."

"Oh? The winery actually started making black tea, yes, it was the right choice for me to leave the winery to you. With that, Robles picked up the pouch and stood up.

Gottland walked to the side: "Madame, are you going to take the boat now, I'll go and prepare the carriage." ”

"Yes, by the way, why do you call me Madame?" Robles tilted her little head and looked at him suspiciously.

This action reminded Gottland of the past when this beautiful girl often did such cute movements. It's a pity that the current Robles is no longer the Roberts of the past.

Gottland pretended to be calm and smiled, "If I don't call you Madame, then what else can I call you?" When he said this, his heart seemed to weep blood.

"Well, whatever you want to call it, it doesn't matter now. Tell the coachman to come quickly, and I'll leave now. It only takes 20 minutes to reach the port by horse-drawn carriage, but if you encounter any problems on the way, it will not be good. Roberts was saying understatement.

Gottland's heart tightened, and he felt even more elusive about the now indifferent Robles, as if she was a gust of wind that could not be grasped. Gotland clenched his fists in fear, waiting for Robles to pull his belly.

The light carriage arrived quickly.

"Madame, I'll accompany you to the docks." Gotland pleaded.

"No, you just look at the house. Remember to take a good look at that little girl from Rayla. With that, Robles slipped into it without looking back.

Gottland thought coldly in his heart: "Hmph, you can go by yourself, anyway, you should have diarrhea in a while, you will definitely not be able to get on the ship!" ”

He waited for half an hour, without any news, and after an hour, there was still no sign of the carriage returning, an hour and a half, two hours, two and a half hours...... The carriage is finally back.

Gottland happily ran over and pulled the coachman down.

The coachman was startled by him.

He lifted the curtains, his blue eyes shining with a brilliant but sinister light, full of anticipation: "Roberts! ”

However, there was not a single figure in the carriage.

Gotland panicked, grabbed the coachman and asked, "What about Robles?" Where has Madame gone? ”

The coachman said in a daze, "Of course, Madame has taken a boat and set off for the city of Modo!" ”

Like thunder and lightning flashing overhead, Gotland was shocked that the toxin in Robles's body didn't attack in two hours! She is about to reach the city of Modo, be cured of her food poisoning, and return with Sally......

Robles was now on the steamer, and as soon as she found her room, she felt a tingling in her stomach, followed by nausea and retching. She covered her mouth and went to the bathroom, and after staying in it for a while, she felt dizzy and hot.

Staggered out of the bathroom, but the service staff was already waiting outside.

"I ......" Roberts was about to say something, but was pulled by the flight attendant to the isolation room for isolation and examination.

"You weren't sick before you got on board, why are you vomiting and diarrhea now?" The service staff asked with a frown.

"I don't know, it shouldn't be sick, I'm afraid I'm sick from eating." Robles explained.

"Alas, what a nuisance." The service staff was a little angry, "I can't prove if you have the virus or not, and there are no doctors here." I'm sorry that for the safety of the other passengers, we have to lock you in this room for quarantine. ”

"Wait, sir." "Can you help me ask the people on the ship if there is a doctor who can help me?" ”

"This is fine, you wait a minute." The service personnel left the isolation room. After a while, he came back and said coldly, "There are no doctors on this ship, and there are no people who know how to heal, I'm really sorry, you can stay inside." Every day I leave my meals at the door. ”

With that, the attendant left and locked the door, and no matter how much Robles slapped her, no one paid attention to her.

Suddenly, she had a cramping pain in her stomach, and she opened the bathroom of the isolation room, vomiting and diarrhea in pain. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, she heard a knock on the door, and a plate of pasta was brought in through the window. She walked over weakly and found that the pasta was already cold, and it looked like the other guests had eaten leftovers.

"Hey, is there anyone out there? My stomach is already hurting, can you give something good to digest? Robles patted them as hard as she could, but no one responded.

Although the noodles were already cold and the sauce on them was solidified, Robles still raised his fork to eat for the sake of his rumbling stomach. Unexpectedly, after a bowl of noodles, her stomach is even more unbearable.

The three-day voyage from Gebi Village to Modo City is not bad, the sea breeze is very elegant, and the ship has hired a high-class chef to cook extremely delicious food for the passengers. However, during these three days, Robles was not able to enjoy the scenery and food.

She didn't have the strength or energy to look forward to anything, she just wanted to be able to reach the city of Modo alive and then go to the hospital to see a doctor.

She was in the isolation room, counting the number of times she was given, and finally gave it the eighth time, which was already the third day! One night left, and you'll be there. She lay on the ground and waited for the time to pass by, and she approached Sally little by little.

I don't know how long I fell asleep, the door to the isolation room was opened, and Robles was helped up by the service staff.

"Miss, the destination has been reached, in order to prevent the spread of the disease, you need to wear a mask, and we will personally send it to the hospital in Modo City for examination until you recover." Said the service staff.

"Then what nonsense are you talking about, take me to the doctor......" Roberts's face turned pale, and his voice was even weaker, almost squeezing words out of his throat.

Robles was so weak that she couldn't walk, and even vomited after a few steps, and the service staff had to carry her on a stretcher.

Luckily, there is a hospital near the port.

The doctor gave Robles a thorough examination, and his expression was very easy to note in the notebook.

Several of the ship's attendants eagerly asked, "Doctor, how is Miss Roberts doing?" ”

"She doesn't have any infectious diseases, it's just food poisoning, don't worry."

The ship's attendants breathed a sigh of relief.

"But ......," the doctor continued, "she seemed to have eaten too much poison, and she was not treated in time, and she ate too much food that was not good for her stomach during the poisoning, and she caught a cold, so her stomach and intestines were very damaged." I'm afraid she will have to recuperate for a month before she gets better. ”

The steamship attendant looked apologetically at Roberts, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and asked the doctor, "This young lady has bought a two-way ticket and will return to Gemie Village in a week, can you see her condition?" ”

The doctor shook his head: "She can't get out of bed for a week, and she has to keep getting infusions and injections, if she is allowed to take a boat to blow the sea breeze after recuperation, I am afraid it will kill her."
