Volume 1 The Road to Rise Chapter 043 Conversation in the Palace Garden
Behind closed doors, the three people in the carriage no longer had to maintain false faces in front of them.
Young Sherlock couldn't hold his breath at all: "Don't be complacent, you escaped this time, and you won't be so lucky next time!" ”
Instead of paying attention to him, Nock looked at Alan Cowater.
"I said, Mr. Director, I haven't offended you, have I? You are so cruel to me, our enmity is settled. ”
Alan Cowater snorted disdainfully and replied, "What about the feud, my dignified viscount, do I still need to be afraid of you?" ”
The belittled Nock was not angry, but responded with a smile: "Okay, you are a nobleman, you are amazing." Honorable Viscount, then let's wait and see. The days ahead, longer than the Thames. ”
Alan Corwater smiled contemptuously, not taking Nock's threat to heart at all, and just closed his eyes and ignored Nock.
A mere Nock Lane can't threaten him, let alone the Covote family.
What he Alan is worried about now is why the queen suddenly summoned him, tomorrow is the day the case will be closed, could it be that today's matter is known to Her Majesty?
Seeing that Eren didn't answer, Nock simply closed his eyes and rested.
There was a sudden silence in the carriage.
In the carriage that seemed to be calm, the hearts of the three people were not calm.
It's just that the older two are very good at hiding their emotions, and only the young and vigorous Sherlock Holmes has his emotions on his face.
Sherlock's heart was about to explode at this time!
These two guys are ignoring his existence!
Very good, isn't it just that I was summoned by the queen!
He's got a part too!
When he sees the queen later, he must sue these two people fiercely!
Sherlock Holmes had a good plan, but he didn't know that someone in the palace had started a conversation between the three of them.
In the garden of the palace, there is a moon season in full bloom, each of which is as graceful as a pure white maiden, simple, but white and flawless.
Next to Yueji, there are a few brightly dressed roses scratching their heads, red with pink, proudly looking at the little girls next door.
In the lawn of the garden, there is a small brown round table with a teapot on it and two teacups with handles on either side of the table.
In one of the teacups, an orange-red liquid was steaming hot, and between the two teacups was a plate of delicate biscuits.
Next to the round table, there are two chairs with backrests, one is brown and the other is also brown. (Imitation of "Lu Ti"(#^.^#))
On one of the chairs sat an old woman with a touch of majesty in her countenance, and the other was placed opposite her, but it was empty.
The old woman is dressed in casual casual clothes, at first glance, comfortable and homely, and looks unremarkable, but on closer inspection, both the materials and the craftsmanship are very exquisite, and at first glance it is from the hands of famous artists.
Behind the old woman's right hand stood a maid with a respectful expression and a strict demeanor.
The maid was also an old woman, but she seemed to be a little younger than the graceful old woman.
The graceful old woman said to the old servant behind her a little worriedly: "Yulia, do you say that the little guy will be shocked to see me in a while?" ”
The old servant named "Yulia" hurriedly bowed his head and replied:
"Back to Your Majesty, there may be surprise, but shock should not. According to the analysis of the information reported by Su Lina over the years, the subordinates showed that Young Master Nock was a young man with a city in his heart. ”
"And the pomp and circumstance of the last time you went to see him, even if he couldn't guess your identity and status, he was still inseparable."
It turned out that the graceful old woman in front of her turned out to be the current queen of the Lionheart Kingdom, Elizabeth Tudor!
It was also the old woman who had visited the monastery at night and finally parted with Nock.
Queen Elizabeth reluctantly picked up the teacup in front of her and took a small sip of the black tea inside, the sweet taste bloomed in her mouth, suppressing the bitterness in her heart.
"yes, that kid is smart. Unexpectedly, sixteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the original little little bit has grown up. If you hadn't taken it upon yourself to let Su Lina place him in the monastery, I'm afraid I'd regret dying now. ”
The queen's words made Yulia behind her kneel down in fear. When he opened his mouth, he pleaded guilty: "My subordinates are guilty!" It's a subordinate who has trespassed! The subordinates just want to leave ...... for the royal family."
"Alright, Yuria!" Queen Elizabeth interrupted Yulia, "You've been around me for so many years, and you're still so rigid, I'm not blaming you, it's just small talk, you don't need to be so nervous."
Hurry up and let others see our stern maid kneeling on the ground, and will not it be majestic to sweep the floor. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yulia respectfully thanked her and returned to her original position.
The queen is also accustomed to the character of this old servant, otherwise she would not have been accompanied by her for so many years and become her confidant.
After all, she has no shortage of faithful people, but there are very few who are used smoothly and faithfully.
"You say, will he blame me? I didn't expect that he would experience so many things just because I didn't pay attention to him for a short period of time.
Why did the monastery catch fire? There are also children missing, and he must be sad. I don't know if his illness has been cured, alas, why was I so cruel and sent him away? ”
Listening to the Queen's self-reproach, and as if asking about her own words, Yulia pondered in her heart for a moment, and then spoke:
"Your Majesty, this is also something that cannot be helped. At that time, His Majesty was surrounded by dangers, and those people were eyeing him. You have no choice but to send Master Nock away. ”
Hearing her maid's words to make her happy, the queen shook her head with a smile and said with a wry smile: "Yulia, don't pick up good things. Although my situation was grim at that time, it was not enough to keep a child.
I'm just angry, angry that the guy lied to me! I just didn't want to see that kid. ”
The head maid couldn't answer this.
That, but it's a taboo, the queen herself mentioned that it's okay, she didn't dare to answer.
The queen also reacted that she had brought up her taboo, and instead of blaming Yulia for not responding to her, she changed the subject.
"By the way, what about that one? Ran out again? ”
Yulia understood who the queen meant by "that", and immediately replied, "Father Brad is indeed going out again, because you are going to meet Master Nock, and I think that his stay may cause trouble, so I deliberately released some false news to lure him away." ”
Hearing that the "eyes" placed by the Church of Nature beside her were being lured away, the Queen nodded reassuringly.
"That's fine, lest that guy make some mess again."
"Yulia, you said that the fire in the convent was caused by that Brad guy? After all, he had mentioned before that to deal with the monastery, it was necessary to start with the children. ”
Yulia analyzed it in her heart, and then replied, "It's very likely." Yesterday, Father Bled was indeed out for a few hours, exactly when the convent caught fire. ”
"Why don't your subordinates send someone to follow him?"
"No!" The queen rejected the maid's offer.
"Don't get in his way, there are some things that he has done well for us to do. One thing he really said was not wrong, that group of orphans was indeed a drag on Nock. ”
"It's better for him to solve it for Nock than for me. I don't want Nock to hate me any more. ”
"Of course, if those children have good potential, you can secretly arrange it so that they have a good place to go, and with the love of the monastery, maybe it will be a help from Nok in the future."
Yulia half-bowed and said, "My subordinates understand, I'll arrange it later." ”
In the distance, a young maid appeared at the door of the garden, did not enter, but bowed to the maid from a distance.
The head maid waved her hand to indicate that she had received it, and the young maid turned to leave.
"Your Majesty, they have already arrived outside the palace gate, do you need your subordinates to bring them over?"
"No, I wanted to talk to Nock here, but I lost interest when I remembered that there were two other unconscious people in my group. Let's go to the study and deal with this impatient Alan Corett. ”
So saying, the queen got up and walked out of the garden.
Walking, walking, she seemed to suddenly remember, and asked.
"By the way, what's the name of that little guy who gave Nock a trouble? Which family is he from? If it's not something important, just hang him and find a reason to deal with him later. ”
Yulia behind her replied lightly: "Sherlock Holmes is the captain of the [Dragon Knight] of the Queen's direct secret unit, and the son of Baron Sieg Holmes. ”
"Bright from an early age, with the support of his uncle Ford Holmes, he has always received an aristocratic education. At a young age, he is already a candidate student at Sword and Bridge University, and he can be specially admitted next year. ”
"According to the survey, he has been very interested in Xinxue recently, and he has read a lot of books about Xinxue."
"I have a better relationship with my uncle than I have with my father, Seeger, so the disappearance of Ford Holmes has made him very anxious and has done a lot of violent and inappropriate behavior."
"Baron Holmes, who is training dragoons in the barracks, is not aware of this, he has not been home for two or three weeks."
Yulia suddenly hesitated: "But ......"
The queen stopped in confusion and looked at Yuria, there were not many scenes that could make the able head maid hesitate.
The queen asked, "But what?" ”
Yulia was heartbroken and directly told the news she had received.
According to the report below, these are some rumors that have not been confirmed. Ford Holmes's wife, Anna Holmes, is said to have had an ambiguous relationship with Baron Sieg Holmes.
As a result, the descendants of Sherlock Holmes Manor had secretly suspected that Baron Holmes was cuckolding his brother. But the servant who had spoken of it had been killed, and no one in the manor had dared to speak of it since. ”
"But after Ford Holmes disappeared, it was rumored that Anna Holmes and Baron Holmes teamed up to kill Ford Holmes, who was her husband and brother."
"These rumors, the people below have collected them very easily. But Sherlock Holmes didn't act out of the ordinary as if he had never heard of it. His most abnormal behavior was to go to the trouble of Young Master Nock. ”
Her Majesty took another step and said meaningfully: "There are no secrets on the Thames, and the rumors that can be spread are not necessarily all rumors, and it seems that the affairs of the Sherlock Holmes family are not simple. ”
"For the sake of Baron Holmes's past merits, Sherlock Holmes will not be punished this time. But if you give a small punishment and a big commandment, let him hang him in the audience hall, and let him kneel and wait. I'm not going to meet him, and I'll let him go with him when Alan Cowater leaves. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
