Lady of the Lord From the East - Chapter 173

The second time he drank the medicine, the king’s condition was much better than in the afternoon. When the steward gave him the medicine, although the king was still in a drowsiness, there was some resistance on his face.

Thinking of the sip he tried himself before giving the medicine, the general manager felt a lot of sympathy.

Knowing that he would be awake at night, the steward himself stayed in the bedroom, waiting for the king to wake up.

Wei Wei instructed the maid to pack the luggage, knowing that they might stay in the palace for a while, Meng Na followed the people sent by the manager to bring most of the personal belongings, not only the masters, but also the maids. .

Because they were in a hurry, they didn’t bring much luggage when they came out of Sardinson, so they prepared some daily clothes. Wei Wei wanted to change the dress that smelled of medicine on her body when she saw the luggage. Can take a bath.

It’s a pity that this is the palace, not their home. It’s really inconvenient to take a bath, and the king may wake up at any time. Felix also advised her to be patient and wait until the king wakes up.

But before that, there was a little dispute.

Their room was very close to the king’s bedroom, and the original occupant was a woman – although her personal items were locked, as evidenced by the furnishings and the lingering scent of perfume – the steward sent someone to deliver During dinner, Wei Wei inquired a little and knew that one of the king’s mistresses lived here.

If it was only Wei Wei, she would never live here, and the manager would not have arranged for her to live there, but probably because Felix was there, the manager didn’t care about this and let them in.

But the matter of their stay, obviously other people care.

After dinner, the luggage was packed, and it was already dark outside. Wei Wei and Felix stayed in the room, surrounded by maids, teaching little Anthony to walk.

The little guy who had brought back some meat lost some weight after being exhausted by traveling all the way. Fortunately, he was neither seasick nor carsick. After disembarking, there was no discomfort, and the situation that he was worried about getting sick did not appear. It all depends on the situation. All look good.

Probably because he slept too long on the road, the little guy was still in good spirits at this time, and the adults who had nothing else to do started to teach him to walk.

Of course, the little guy’s bones are still soft, so he can’t walk, he’s staggering when he’s standing, and he can only stand and move twice with the adults holding two hands. He knelt down with his feet and pulled his hands back from his father’s hands. He crawled from his father’s side to his mother’s side in a flash, raised his head and grinned at her, then sat down and reached for a hug.

It’s a pity that the cold mother was not ready to hug him, she took his little hand and pulled the little guy up again, supported her armpit, and started walking her son again.

This time, with the help of his mother, little Anthony was willing to give some face, and “walked in space” with two chubby legs that could not be stretched straight.

The maids couldn’t help looking at them coldly, and laughed one by one, while Karma, who brought the rest of the medicine into the room, didn’t need to keep guarding the fireplace, and watched the little master think of her nearly seven-year-old daughter.

She is no longer a slave, but a serf. Together with her daughter, although she is still not a free citizen, Karma is very satisfied compared to before.

She is now Wei Wei’s personal maid, and her seven-year-old daughter was sent to Miss Caroline to play with her when she was six years old. She is the youngest girl in Sardinson Castle. The maid, the mother and daughter live together at night and see each other often during the day. Seeing her daughter is getting healthier and more active every day, there is always something to talk to her before going to bed. For Karma, there is nothing more heartwarming than this. She is satisfied.

Thinking of her daughter, Kama was a little dazed, but soon, standing closest to the door, she heard a faint noise from outside the door.

She walked over, but didn’t open the door. She stayed close to the door and listened for a while. She frowned and walked in front of Wei Wei: “Ma’am, in the corridor outside, someone seems to be arguing with the guards.”

As soon as she said these words, the originally cheerful atmosphere receded like a tide.

Wei Wei frowned, arguing with the guards? In front of the king’s residence? It seems that the identity of the other party must not be low.

She asked, “Male and female?”

Karma said uncertainly: “It should be a woman’s voice.”

The room was quiet, and Wei Wei could also hear faint movements outside at this time. Sure enough, a female voice seemed to be questioning someone. She couldn’t understand the content, but she could feel the sharpness and dominance in it.

And this female voice sounded a little familiar.

After the nobles and other members of the royal family were kicked out of the palace and the palace was under martial law, she could appear in front of the king’s bedroom at this time and dare to quarrel with the guards. At the same time, she wondered who the woman with a familiar voice would be, except for Mirabelle Queen, he should not think about it.

After knowing who might be coming from outside, Wei Wei wanted to go and see, but the king insisted on secretly summoning her without telling the others. She would not be able to show up at this time, so she shoved her son into her husband’s arms, Wei Wei said. Go to the door, stick to the door, and start eavesdropping.

The maids automatically silenced, and Felix also carried his son to the window so that he would not disturb Wei Wei.

Wei Wei’s ears are good, the surroundings are quiet, and when she concentrates, she can easily hear the sounds outside.

Sure enough, it was Queen Mirabelle. She was arguing to see the king, but the guards refused to let her, and the two sides quarreled.

Said to be noisy, in fact, only the queen was questioning.

Then, not long after, the voice of the general manager also appeared.

I just listened to the general manager who had been ups and downs in the court for many years: “Her Royal Highness, Her Majesty said that he doesn’t want to see anyone now.”

“I’m the queen, why can’t I see my husband?” Mirabelle’s voice was sharp and harsh, obviously very angry: “And you said that Your Majesty can’t see anyone, so why is the light in that bitch’s room on? Yes, did she come back secretly? The king can see her, why can’t he see me?”

The steward subconsciously glanced at the room where Earl Williams was. He knew very well who the **** in Mirabelle’s mouth was. In fact, for the king’s mistress, even if the other party was a duchess (there used to be a real one) , Mirabelle has always called each other this way, she just doesn’t call her face to face in front of the king and her mistresses. She doesn’t want the king to hate her, so she always has to be more restrained in front of him, and those mistresses are not good-natured, she If they dare to scold people like this, they will dare to do it directly.

But the servants in the palace have not listened to the queen so much.

“You misread Your Highness, the lady didn’t come back. She left the palace with the others, have you forgotten?” The manager explained: “As for the room you mentioned, it was only the maid who cleaned it.”

Mirabelle sneered: “Have the maid to clean the unoccupied room at night? Do you think you can deceive me? And I remember that His Majesty’s order was to see no one, if I remember correctly, Your Majesty Isn’t the surrounding area of ​​the bedroom already blocked? Which maid can still come in and out here? Is it His Majesty’s new love again?”

The general manager was at a loss for words and couldn’t answer for a while. There is indeed a ban, so the room here has not been cleaned recently, especially during the two days when the king was in a coma, so before The preparation of the room for Earl Williams was done by himself.

“Why, can’t you speak?” Mirabelle said aggressively: “So you are lying, there is no maid there at all, right, or you will let her come out and let me see?”

When Wei Wei heard this, she wanted her maid to go out and make a fool of herself, but she just thought about it, because her maids were all raw faces, and they weren’t wearing the maid costumes in the palace. .

The steward was impatiently questioned by the queen, but he could only patiently say: “Your Highness, that maid has already packed her things and left. If you want to see her, I can call her.”

“Gone? The candles were still on when I came.”

Hearing this, the manager secretly thought that he was careless. He patronized and wanted to arrange Wei Wei to be treated by His Majesty at the place closest to the king, but he forgot that the queen’s residence was looking over from the other side, so he could just see that room. And because it was night, even if the curtains were not drawn, the candle light could faintly see through, so if you looked from the queen’s side, you might find the light in the room.

Of course, he wouldn’t admit it: “Maybe the maid neglected to forget, and I will punish him.”

Seeing that he was still so stubborn and unwilling to admit it, Mila Belle was so angry that she looked up: “Anyway, I’m going to see Your Majesty now, he hasn’t appeared for a long time, what happened is what you said, who knows you Did this guy who can even tell such lies put His Majesty under house arrest, and then used his name to forge orders?”

This big hat manager can’t bear it. He said coldly and sternly: “Your Highness, please don’t say such irresponsible words. Your Majesty has indeed ordered that no one is allowed to visit the doctor. I just follow his orders.”

Mirabelle was determined to see the king today, no matter what the chief said, she would not leave, and because of her status, neither the chief nor the guards dared to really drive people away, so the two sides did so. Glue up.

Not long afterward, probably after hearing about the farce here, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew also rushed over. Although they were not at odds with the Queen, at this time, because they were worried about their father’s health, they also wanted to see his two men. Instead, the prince sided with Mirabelle and tried to persuade the steward to let them in to meet the king.

But the fact that the king was in a coma was a secret, and the chief did not dare to let them know, so he stubbornly did not agree. Even if Prince Edward pressed him as the crown prince, he did not agree.

Just when the two sides were arguing, and the angry Crown Prince Edward almost couldn’t help but choose to break in directly, the door of the king’s bedroom was opened from the inside.

The servant who had been standing in front of the king’s bed stumbled out and said to everyone who looked over with a look of surprise: “Your Majesty is awake, he let you in.”

Everyone who was making a noise immediately quieted down and looked at the servant who was talking, and then the next moment, the manager was the first to react and ran back to the bedroom excitedly.

The princes glanced at each other, saw a hint of relaxation in each other’s eyes, and followed.

Only Mirabelle was left, showing a hint of surprise at first, then quickly covering it up, and with a worried expression, she entered the bedroom.

No one noticed that the door of the room that Mirabelle used as an excuse at first was quietly opening a gap, revealing a black eye, which made their expressions change clearly.

The author has something to say: Wei Wei: Peeping in the dark.
