I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 202 Death while traveling [The tenth day of the day]

Blanche returns to the palace.

Looking back now, she doesn't know what kind of decision she made before.

It feels silly.

Very stupid.

No matter what she is, she is still a princess of the French royal family. Even if she is not welcomed by members of the royal family, the royal brand will never be erased from her identity.

No matter how much I like Xu Siling, no matter how much I have a crush on him.

She chose to help Fei'er and Xu Siling, and she was already on the road to betraying the royal family.

Blanche didn't know whether she was doing the right thing or not.

But even if I said so.

She is someone who doesn't care about the outcome.

Back at the palace, Blanche would not take the initiative to go to Philip VI to report the situation.

According to past habits, he would come over to communicate with me at night when he was free.

But the sudden appearance of Philip VI yesterday made her a little uncomfortable.

Returning to the courtyard of the residence, the guard looked a little unhappy when he saw her coming back.

"What's wrong."

"His Majesty Princess Blanche is waiting for you inside, but he doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

Expected.

Blanche walked towards the courtyard without any trouble.

Even if she didn't report to Philip VI, Philip VI would definitely have various ways to know what happened at the Vatican banquet.

Mayfair's actions will certainly make Philip VI angry. No king can allow this to happen.

"That's good. We don't have to wait until night. We can find out how the king is doing right now."

Arriving in the courtyard close to her residence, Blanche suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Not a single servant was seen in the courtyard of his residence.

Where have they gone?
After the servants disappeared, they were replaced by various guard soldiers.

An uneasy thought was born in Blanche's heart.

Has His Majesty the King lost his temper? Are you going to bring this small force to capture Xu Siling?

This shouldn't be the case. Besides, even if you want to arrest Xu Siling, why are you gathering troops in your own courtyard?
Arriving at the bedroom, he was about to enter when he was stopped by the guard at the door.

Blanche was in disbelief. This was the first time she had been stopped at her home.

The guard shouted inside.

"Your Majesty the King, Princess Blanche has arrived."

"She's the only one?"

"To the princess alone."

"Let her in."

The guard then put down his blocking hand.

Blanche couldn't hide her uneasiness, but she still went into the bedroom.

When she first entered the bedroom, Blanche was stunned by the condition of the bedroom.

The bedroom was turned upside down, as if it had been ransacked by robbers.

Philip VI looked dignified and solemn, sitting on a chair, with a fire notebook standing next to him, with spices burning in it, and the whole room was filled with the scent of incense.

"Uncle, what happened? Why is my residence like this?"

Philip VI did not answer and asked instead: "Why are you coming back alone?"

Blanche was puzzled: "I went out alone, so naturally I came back alone."

"Oh." Philip VI's expression was very cold, too cold to be true, and he asked softly: "Why did you come back so late?"

"Saint Raya invited me back to Count Bulvar's house for a chat. I was thinking about getting some information, so I agreed."

"Really, then you found out something."

"I didn't find out anything. Not long after returning to Count Bulvar's house, Saint Raya took a rest, and then I didn't stay long before I came back."

An ordinary person would never be able to get used to this kind of questioning.

But she was Blanche, so she had to get used to it if she wasn't used to it.

"Now that Raya has rested, what are you doing at Count Bulvar's house?"

"I did not do anything."

"Let's stay with the Spiritual Knight."

Blanche said nothing, but her expression gave it away.

Philip VI smiled half-heartedly: "My good niece, since when did you learn to lie to your uncle?"

"I lied? What happened to me."

"Spirit Knight is indeed a very good man. What do you think of him?"

Blanche habitually replied: "He is very smart and very powerful."

"War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength." Philip VI's green eyes narrowed slightly, "This sentence is really well said. Did he say it?"

When Blanche saw this, her beautiful face was full of panic: "Uncle, how did you know?"

I saw Philip VI taking out a book from behind his back that Blanche was extremely familiar with. It was her diary.

Blanche was shocked and was about to take it back without saying a word. Unexpectedly, the guards on both sides of the bedroom showed their weapons and forced her to retreat.

"Why did you steal my things! Give me back my diary!"

"Spirit Knight is very smart. I really didn't expect that his knowledge is so high. He can be so knowledgeable that my good niece is fascinated."

Blanche gritted her teeth: "Give me back my diary!"

"Good niece, tell me. The so-called sincerity is not to express all your thoughts, but to express immediately and express what you think." Philip VI held the diary, flipped through it casually, and asked with a chuckle: "You Tell me, have you ever betrayed the royal family?"

Blanche replied angrily: "I didn't!"

"No? But you cheated on me."

"I'm not lying!"

"Not yet?" Philip VI was furious, "I asked you to go to John's Mansion to be Charlie's teacher. Why are you so willing and why do you come back so happily every day? I said what's going on? It turns out it's because of the Spiritual Knight. There too."

Blanche was ashamed and angry. She was ashamed because her secret feelings were exposed and torn into pieces by Philip VI, but she was angry because her feelings were thrown to the ground and trampled on.

"Have you forgotten what I arranged for you? You kept saying that you would do it, but in fact you didn't do anything, right? You just obeyed your heart, followed your preferences, and contacted the Spirit Knight. Arrange it, put it in the back of your mind, right?”

"Spirit Knight asked you to be yourself, so you really do it?"

"Do you know who you are? You are a princess of the royal family! You are a woman of the royal family! Like? Ha, like is the cheapest thing of the royal family!"

"I didn't expect that you would actually make a lifelong commitment privately."

Blanche raised her eyes when she heard this: "What are you talking about? What kind of private life-long decision?"

Philip VI sneered, then flipped through the diary and read: "I really hope that as Xu said, he will occupy a seat in heaven and wait for me to be with him. By that time, I will definitely ask him personally about everything about him."

"You wrote this sentence. I didn't expect that the relationship between you and the Spiritual Knight has reached the point where we can meet God together in heaven after death."

Blanche gritted her teeth and lowered her head. She didn't know how to explain.

Only she knows that she is only in unrequited love.

She didn't know if Xu Siling liked her or not, and she assumed that Xu Siling wouldn't like her.

Because Xu Siling is a perfect knight. Although he is hypocritical, he is also hypocritical and sincere. He has a wife. It stands to reason that Xu Siling will not betray his wife.

So until now, Blanche thinks that she is only in unrequited love.

The one-sided crying outburst in the living room before, but she knew that Xu Siling's time in Paris was limited, and the life she looked forward to before going to bed every day was about to end. She couldn't accept it, so she finally mustered up the courage to confess everything.

The so-called occupying a seat in heaven is just Xu Siling's joke.

Blanche recorded this sentence just to comply with the joke.

"Now, you still lie to me, saying nothing happened to you? You didn't betray the royal family? You didn't deceive me?"

Blanche raised her head, her brown eyes showing calmness and madness, and she said to Philip VI.

"Yes, that's right, I like Xu, and I also like to be with him. Only when I'm with him do I feel like I am myself. I don't deny that I like him, but I'm not lying to you either. I haven’t betrayed the royal family, at least not yet!”

"That's enough! I've had enough of your lies!"

In the eyes of Philip VI, Blanche had betrayed the royal family, so it was very likely that she would tell Xu Siling everything she knew.

Maybe Raya and Xu Siling both know that he has the intention to assassinate Bonnet. If this information falls into Raya's hands, what impact will it have? Philip VI could not even think about it.

He signaled the guard to leave the bedroom and waited until the guard left.

Philip VI stared at Blanche and asked every word.

"Are you sure that you have not betrayed the royal family and told the Spirit Knight everything you know?"

"No, I didn't. I didn't say anything about the royal family!"

Seeing the guard leaving the bedroom, Blanche couldn't wait to step forward to take back her diary.

Without thinking, Philip VI directly raised the book and threw it at Blanche.

Blanche was so fragile that she was knocked to the ground by Philip VI.

"Why should I trust you? Who do you think you are? You are not even a woman from my Valois family. Why should I trust you? You have to pay for what you have done!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Philip VI threw the diary directly into the brazier of burning spices.

Blanche was in pain and wanted to help her get up, but she saw that her diary was being burned. She quickly climbed up to save her, but was pushed to the ground again by Philip VI.

In this way, Blanche watched her diary being thrown into the fire pot and burned, full of despair.

The flames danced on the diary, licking every page, gradually turning the words and Blanche's memory into ashes, as if life and emotions were being ruthlessly devoured.

Her body no longer moved on the ground, but her eyes looked at the brazier. From despair at the beginning, she was now confused, as if her lost soul was drifting in the endless darkness.

The eyes are deeply frozen in the sinking of time, making people feel a deep heartbreak and heaviness.

Each line of text turned into a flame, burning the mood, sadness, dreams and memories that Blanche had cherished throughout his life, as well as the words Xu Siling had said to him.

The heat wave hits the face, accompanied by the smoke, like a broken oath and the death of a story, beautiful and cruel.

Blanche's tears fell quietly and turned into silent sadness.

She lost the diary that had accompanied her throughout her life, and also lost a lot. She no longer felt angry, no longer happy, only lonely, lost, and desperate.

There are only two kinds of people in the world, one is Enri and the other is Miss Raya.

The former is memory, the latter is hope.

Blanche never had hope and now has no memories.

So she is nothing.

Philip VI watched Blanche fall to the ground with a lost expression. The exquisite and beautiful makeup she had specially put on today was long gone.

He was in a weird and unpleasant mood, and suddenly a fire surged into his heart. He coughed violently, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

Philip VI looked at the blood in his hands, his expression becoming more cold and angry.

He stood up, pinched Blanche's face, and said coldly.

"Don't think that this is the end of the matter. I will let you become a woman of the Valois family. I want you to understand one thing. It will be a mistake for a member of the royal family to fall in love with someone at will! You have to pay for your Take all the blame!”

Afterwards, Philip VI threw Blanche into the bedroom and walked out.

The diary of the brazier has already been burned, and there is no possibility of saving it.

The voice of Philip VI's order came from outside the bedroom.

"Seal this place! Arrange for someone to live with Blanche, monitor all her actions, and don't allow her to leave the bedroom even half a step! No one is allowed to come near this place without my order!"

"Roger that!"

The next day.

Xu Siling got up early, got dressed, and hurried to John's house.

This was a better time for him and Blanche.

But the strange thing is that Blanche did not show up throughout the morning.

Mrs. Bonnet was not surprised, or in other words, such a situation was normal.

"Princess Blanche doesn't like to go out. She rarely leaves the palace. This period is the most times she has left the palace."

Xu Siling felt vaguely that something was not good, but it was here and there were still things to deal with.

Blanche didn't come to teach Charlie, Xu Siling at least brought John's children together to teach sword skills.

Regarding what happened in the Paris church yesterday, Bonnet had some grudges against Xu Siling, but through John's words, he learned that Philip VI did not care about what happened, and even acquiesced.

This shows that Philip VI is not angry. Since he is not angry, Bonnet can't say anything.

Philip VI would never take the initiative to tell her what he thought.

Maybe Philip VI and Mayfair had some agreement early on?

Now Charlie is Xu Siling's student. This is true. Charlie will be taken away in a few days.

With this level of status alone, Xu Siling's relationship with John and Bonnet cannot be too bad.

Until Xu Siling stayed at John's house for lunch, Blanche had no intention of showing up.

John saw that Xu Siling was bored, so he started to discuss with him.

In order to stay at John's house longer, Xu Siling agreed.

The result is obvious, but Xu Siling's thoughts are not at all.

Until Xu Siling wanted to leave, a woman finally arrived at John's mansion.

The visitor was of high status, but it was not Blanche.

It was Jeanne, mother of John and wife of Philip VI.

Jeanne was over fifty years old, and she was only two months younger than Philip VI. Her mother was the Queen of France, and her sister was also the Queen of France.

It can be said that the family genes are strong, and everyone in the family is made to be queen.

It must be said that both Jeanne and Philip VI were lucky and long-lived people.

Through Jeanne's face, it can be seen that she is a beautiful woman even though she is young.

John expressed surprise at the appearance of his mother, Jeanne.

"My mother, aren't you taking care of yourself? Why did you run out?"

Jeanne glanced at John: "You don't go back to the palace to live. I can't find anyone to miss you. I call you to come. Maybe you and your father will bump into each other and have a quarrel. I can't stand you like this."

John moved his mouth a few times and was about to talk back, but he thought of something and finally said nothing.

Originally, Jeanne was infected with the Black Death and could not live long in history. In the end, it was the soup recipe sent by Mayfair that saved Jeanne's life.

This is also the place where the love between Mayfair and the royal family was first born.

Mayfair not only saved Philip VI’s wife, but also John’s mother.

Jeanne's illness has improved, but she is old and in poor health. A minor illness can be enough to keep her body depressed for a long time.

It stands to reason that you should take a good rest in the palace at this time. Why did you run out at this time?

Bonnet smiled kindly: "Queen, John has not quarreled with His Majesty the King for a long time. I heard that he went to the palace yesterday, and His Majesty the King did not get angry."

"Who knows what is going on between father and son? They are like enemies." Jeanne looked at Bonnet with a smile on her face. She had always liked Bonnet's temperament and intelligence: "I came today because I was bored. I feel bored after staying in the palace for a long time.”

John patted his chest and said, "Whatever mother wants to do, I will accompany you."

"Why do I need you to accompany me? I'll find Bonnet and you can be your knight."

Bonnet was curious: "Queen, do you need me to accompany you for a walk?"

"Forget it today, let's go to the Montmartre district tomorrow. Let's enjoy the wind and see the scenery there. There are also flowers that John's father likes. Pick some and bring them back to him. He likes me the most. I got him a wreath on his head.”

Bonnet was sincerely happy to see that Jeanne was still so young at heart.

"Okay queen, I will pick you up early in the carriage tomorrow."

Montmartre is a suburb of Paris, but many wealthy nobles and wealthy citizens are willing to build country villas and manors here to enjoy the tranquil and magnificent natural scenery.

Only then did Jeana notice Xu Siling's existence. After learning Xu Siling's identity, she looked grateful.

Although Xu Siling is Fei'er's knight, Xu Siling's body is too special, and seeing him is like seeing half of Fei'er. This is true.

"Mr. Knight, go back and see Saint Raya and tell her that I am very grateful to her. I will also get her a circlet crown tomorrow."

Without waiting for Xu Siling to respond, Jeanne then asked with a smile: "I remember that Saint Laya is still very young. If her head is not big, then her crown should be smaller."

From Jeanna's words, Xu Siling could feel the old man's kindness and kindness, as well as the enthusiasm deep in his heart.

"Miss Raya's head is indeed not big, but even if you make the crown bigger, Queen, Miss Raya can still wear it around her neck."

"Mr. Knight's proposal is very good."

After Jeanne finished speaking, she played with John's children for a while, and then got into the carriage and returned to the palace.

John thought about accompanying Bonnet and his mother Jeanne on a trip tomorrow. Bonnet didn't care that Xu Siling was there and took the initiative to say so.

"Tomorrow is the day when His Majesty the King and Miss Raya will meet. If you don't go to the palace, why are you accompanying us women?"

Early this morning, the king's messenger brought a message to Bulwa's house, asking Mayfair to meet at the palace tomorrow.

John shook his head: "I want to accompany you."

Bonnet rolled her eyes, she still hoped that John would pay more attention to business.

Xu Siling saw that it was almost time and Blanche had not appeared yet. He knew that Blanche had something to do today and would not come out.

He simply replaced Blanche and began to teach Charlie literature and art courses.

He said it was about literature and art, but I still told him stories, and Charlie liked hearing them anyway.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xu Siling left John's mansion and returned to Bulvar's house.

After the dinner, Mayfair has already begun to prepare for notifying Philip VI of the meeting tomorrow.

This is Mayfair's habit. She likes to make some preparations in advance and be prepared to adapt to changes. Xu Siling went out very early today and came back very late. Fei'er thought Xu Siling had gained a lot, but Xu Siling unexpectedly said that Blanche didn't go out.

This made Fei'er startled and suspicious.

Did Blanche lie to them? Not ready to defect?
A temporary change of mind?

Fei'er told Xu Siling her conjecture, but Xu Siling didn't think so.

After what happened yesterday, I heard Blanche’s heartfelt voice.

Xu Siling knew very well that Blanche might not firmly betray the royal family, but she would definitely help her.

Probably something happened and she couldn't go out.

Who would have thought that tomorrow would be the day when Philip VI and Mayfair officially met. Philip VI took it seriously and it was normal to block the news.

However, Xu Siling had eavesdropped on the expression of Philip VI's wife Jeanne and understood that when John went to Philip VI yesterday to inform him about the Vatican banquet, Philip VI did not get angry and did not quarrel with John.

Coupled with the influence of John and Bonnet on him after the Vatican banquet, this also indirectly proves that Xu Siling's guess is correct.

Philip VI did have a physical problem, and he would not do anything to affect the relationship between the royal family and Mayfair.

On the contrary, he will definitely stabilize the relationship between the two parties.

But what the truth is, won’t we know tomorrow?
Philip VI is really concerned about the papal banquet. When they meet tomorrow, he will attack Mayfair in person.

But Xu Siling knew that Philip VI would not do this.

Anyway, he will accompany Fei'er to the palace tomorrow and be prepared for all emergencies.

It is not yet certain whether Blanche is in trouble or not. This will also have to wait until the end of tomorrow's talks, and whether Blanche will show up or not will be the criterion.

After the meeting between Philip VI and Mayfair, he and Mayfair would have no reason to stay in Paris. They should go back after being away from Raya Town for so long.

As for setting off back to Raya Town, what will Chris do?
It's simple.

As long as the meeting between Mayfair and Philip VI goes well tomorrow and Philip VI does not get angry because of what happened at the Vatican banquet, then this will indirectly acquiesce to the power that Xu Siling has.

The power that Xu Siling possesses is not great.

Marquis Boggs will have no worries and will definitely lick him hard.

Before leaving, Mayfair made another suggestion, saying that she and Chris got along well and wanted to take her back to Raya Town for a parade and fun.

Marquis Boggs naturally happily nodded in agreement.

Selling her daughter to Xu Siling as her lover made Chris happy, Xu Siling was happy, and as Chris's father, he was equally happy.

If it were anyone else, a lover would be a lover, but if he wanted to abduct his daughter, this would definitely not work.

But the helpless person is Xu Siling.

Not to mention Xu Siling's identity, just taking into account Mayfair's identity, it was already impossible for Marquis Boggs to refuse.

But if Blanche doesn't show up after tomorrow, Xu Siling won't know how to deal with it.

Could it be that Blanche was too shy to show up after revealing her true feelings?
That shouldn't be the case
Xu Siling slowly fell asleep amid this doubt.

When she woke up, Mayfair was ready to leave for the palace at any time.

Seeing this, Xu Siling quickly dressed up. He had never seen Philip VI either. It was his first time, so he should make some preparations, even though he looked down on Philip VI.

Just when Mayfair and he were about to leave for the palace, John unexpectedly appeared.

After John said hello to Mayfair, his eyes signaled Xu Siling to come aside and talk.

The two communicated in the corner of the Bulvar family courtyard.

"Xu, do me a favor."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't we wait until Miss Raya and I go to the palace?"

"You don't understand, Xu." John was a little anxious, his thick brown hair spread out, matching his dark green eyes: "It happened to be my matter, otherwise I wouldn't bother you. And it was someone else's words, I don’t trust them either.”

Xu Siling did not agree immediately: "Tell me what it is."

"I want to ask you to help me take care of my wife?"

Ok?
Will you take care of my wife?
What kind of drama is this?

Bonnet is a good woman and a beautiful wife, but good brother, even if I were a tauren, I would not bully you.

Xu Siling asked strangely: "What do you mean?"

"Today, my queen mother and wife will meet for a walk in Montmartre. You should know."

"I know, didn't you say you would accompany them?"

"If that's the case, I won't bother you." John looked helpless. "The king insisted on letting me stay in the palace. He said that the meeting between Miss Raya and him would not go well without me. I really can't think of anything. Understand, I haven’t helped with government affairs for so long, how can I help?”

Xu Siling blinked, thinking about something.

"After my wife Bonnet found out about this, she also supported me staying in the palace, saying that don't forget my identity as the crown prince. Today's meeting between the king and Miss Raya is very important, and I should attend. So."

So your father couldn’t persuade you, but your wife did?
Family brother.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be me who just accompanies and takes care of the Queen and Madam when they travel, right?"

John looked embarrassed: "Xu, maybe I'm over-worrying, but I'm a little panicked inside. I'm afraid something will happen to my wife Bonnet."

Xu Siling raised her eyebrows curiously: "How could it be possible? What could happen to Mrs. Bonnet?"

John suppressed his blush and couldn't give any reason: "Xu, please don't worry about whether you agree to it or not. My request is really simple, that is, for today's meeting, please don't go to the palace and take care of it for me. My wife, don’t let anything happen to her, I will be grateful to you afterwards! As for the meeting in the palace, don’t worry, as long as I am here, no one can bully Miss Raya!”

Xu Siling is a person worthy of trust, and so is John.

Although Xu Siling didn't know clearly, anyone could do this kind of thing of protecting Madam Bonnet, not to mention that there were so many knights under John, who couldn't do it?

But he was considering it, at least he didn't refuse.

"I'll discuss it with Miss Raya."

"It's time to discuss it with her. She is your lord. If she doesn't agree, I will beg her!"

Xu Siling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she turned around and went to find Feier.

John didn't go far and waited near the courtyard for Xu Siling to come back.

Xu Siling found Feier who was about to get on the carriage, and after telling John's request, Feier looked strange.

"Why do you have to do this kind of thing? No one can use him as a crown prince?"

"I don't know, but from the look of him, if I don't agree, he won't give up and will even come to beg you."

Mayfair thought for a while: "If it were anyone else, I would think there was something fishy about today's meeting in the palace, and someone wanted to transfer you away from me."

"I think so too."

"But if it was John who did this, and I still think so, it would be wrong. He probably wouldn't do such a thing." Feier looked at Xu Siling, "What do you think?"

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't agree to John's request. Today's meeting in the palace is very important and I have to go with you. But I am very interested in John's request. He is not a boring person and will not do these incredible things at will. Decision, so there must be something we didn’t see.”

"so what."

Xu Siling turned around and called An Li, who was in the distance telling the new knight's retinue what to pay attention to.

"I'm going to help John take care of Bonet. You bring more people, and then let Enri stay by your side."

Enri ran closer: "What are you doing, Xu? I'm teaching those newbies a lesson."

"Anri, later on you can accompany Miss Raya to the palace to attend the meeting. Protect Miss Raya personally and don't leave her too far, okay?"

Enri was surprised: "Aren't you accompanying the meeting? With my status, can I attend the meeting?"

"I asked you if it was okay."

"Of course! That's great!" Enri was very excited.

Xu Siling turned to look at Fei'er again: "I don't have any other opinions. Let's just leave it like this. Anyway, if things don't go well, I'll let An Li take you away. Although I don't think this will happen."

Fei'er nodded: "I think so too."

"Anyway, I will take care of the queen and Bonnet, and they are also in my hands. If something happens to you, I will also have two extremely important hostages."

Feier smiled and said: "Then let's go find the crown prince. I see him looking at you eagerly from a distance."

After the matter was finalized, Xu Siling went to reply to John.

John was extremely moved when he saw this. He understood how important today's palace meeting was to Feier, and she should not let Xu Siling miss it.

But he really had no choice.

John stepped forward and thanked Feier politely, and then left with Xu Siling.

Back at the door of John's mansion, he patted Xu Siling's shoulder seriously and whispered.

"Xu, please take good care of my wife!"

"Don't worry, as long as I want, no one can put her in crisis."

John grinned: "I know."

Queen Jeanne and Bonnet were already ready, and they were sitting in the carriage chatting happily.

Seeing John coming back, Bonnet urged him to go to the palace quickly and not waste time by staying outside.

They learned that John specially invited Xu Siling to accompany him on the trip.

Both of them looked a little surprised.

Bonnet knew that this meeting was very important. Xu Siling would come to accompany them on their trip. John must have forced her to do so.

When John left home to go to the palace, Xu Siling acted as a groom, setting up a noble carriage and taking two women with important status in the kingdom to the Montmartre district.

On the way, Bonnet felt a little embarrassed and lifted up the silk cloth to talk to Xu Siling.

"Mr. Siling, John has caused trouble for you again. I have already told him that just arrange a few people for this kind of thing. I didn't expect that he would call you."

"It's okay, the crown prince and I are friends, this kind of thing is nothing."

Traveling together were the palace guards, who were ordered to protect Queen Jeanne.

To be honest, Xu Siling didn't know what accident would happen this time.

The group of people leisurely came to the suburbs of Paris - the Montmartre district.

Serenity and stunning wilderness scenery.

The emerald green fields are undulating like a continuous amber wave.

There are also some wealthy citizens and minor nobles who have specially spent money to build mansions here.

The sun shines through thin clouds, and the winding path leads through lush woodland to the distant hills.

The sound of gurgling water and the gentle breeze blowing through the leaves are intertwined.

"Mr. Knight, go deeper, there are flowers that John's father likes."

Xu Siling responded with a smile, the Valois family is so lucky.

A king like Philip VI could find a good wife who only saw him, and so did John.

They are all good people.

Although his Ella is not bad either.

Following Jeanne's guidance, the group came to the flowers deep in the suburbs.

It can be seen that this place has been taken care of very well. There are many flowers in the flowers that Xu Siling has never seen before.

There are a wide variety of flowers inside, some of which are extremely attractive and delicate, while others are subtle and ready to be bloomed.

Some of the flowers in the current season were blooming very delicately. When Xu Siling saw a flower with a blue appearance, he couldn't help but feel that this flower seemed to match Fei'er very well.

The carriage stopped, and the servants began to set up camp and move tables so that Jeanne and Bonnet could rest after their visit.

Xu Siling politely helped Jeanne and Bonnet get out of the carriage.

As John's good friend, it is his duty to take care of his mother and wife.

Queen Jeanne and Bonnet stroll among the flowers on the outskirts.

Jeanne's clothes were quite simple, not that gorgeous.

Bonnet, on the other hand, was neatly and gorgeously dressed, showing off his aristocratic manners, as if he were a delicate flower among the flowers.

They walked in the sea of ​​flowers, filled with fragrance. The intertwined fragrance blew in the wind and gently lingered on Bonnet's long skirt.

Jeanne gracefully bent down to pick up a few slender flower branches and skillfully weaved them into two circles in her hands, showing off her dexterity.

The circle rotated in her hand, dancing gracefully like a dance melody.

Bonnet exclaimed, praising Jeanne's skill.

Their kind laughter echoed among the flowers.

Xu Siling followed Bonnet, and behind Jeanne, there were royal guards following.

Xu Siling looked around. To be honest, he didn't realize there was a crisis.

With his elite level of investigation.

As long as there is an ambush here, he will detect it in advance.

Even if someone looked at him or Bonnet with malicious eyes, he would sense it to some extent.

But there was no one around, let alone an ambush.

What is John worried about?
Bonnet, what could happen in the flowers on the outskirts?

Even if there was a surprise attack from the sky and enemy troops suddenly appeared, there would still be enough time for them to hide back in Paris.

Could it be that wild beasts and poisonous snakes appeared in the mountains and forests?
Xu Siling didn't understand.

Seeing Jeanne and Bonnet enjoying themselves in the flowers without any crisis coming, his thoughts couldn't help but wander.

In terms of time, Mayfair had already met with Philip VI at the palace.

I don’t know how their meeting went.

Nothing should happen, right?
After a long time, the two women finally got tired and returned to the camp to rest.

Jeanne trimmed the two circles, but was not satisfied with it, so she finally cut off most of the flower's roots.

"Queen, how do you put the wreath together like this?"

"It's okay. I'll go closer to the forest and find these unique branches and connect them together. I've done this before. Father John likes it the most. I hope Miss Laya will like it too."

Bonnet smiled and said: "Then let the guards help the queen pick it up."

"This won't work. It lacks care. Besides, the guard wouldn't recognize the branch I want. I have to find it myself."

"Okay then, Bonnet will accompany you."

"Just wait for me here and let the servant make tea. When I come back, I will chat with you and teach you this craft. You can also get a circlet tiara for John. He also liked it when he was a child."

Bonnet was about to stand up, but was stopped by Jeanne's eyes.

She had no choice but: "Okay then, Bonet will be waiting for your return here."

"good."

Queen Jeanna leaned towards the mountain forest, which was not far away, and the royal guards followed behind her unswervingly.

Jeanne wanted to be alone, but knew that this was unrealistic and did not persuade them to leave the guards.

Until Jeanna disappeared into the forest with the guards, Xu Siling couldn't help but become vigilant when she saw Bonnet being left alone.

But he still didn't notice any danger nearby. Could it be poisoning?
After saying that, Xu Siling went to the place where the servants made tea. After checking, he found that there was nothing wrong, which made him scratch his head.

"Mr. Siling, why don't you sit down and rest together? There's no need to hide your identity."

"Mrs. Bonnet need not be so polite."

While the two were chatting casually, there was suddenly a commotion in the forest and birds flying wildly.

This scene made Bonnet stunned and Xu Siling suddenly alert.

"Mr. Siling, what happened?"

"I don't know, but this direction is the direction from which the queen entered the forest."

"Did something happen to the queen?!"

Bonnet stood up from his chair in fright.

Xu Siling quickly comforted her. She promised John that she could not leave Bonnet at will, otherwise what if others succeeded.

But the situation of Queen Jeanne is also very concerning, but she is also followed by royal guards.

Xu Siling's eyes signaled the servant to stay put, and then asked: "Mrs. Bonnet, if you can trust me, how about we go forward and investigate. I promised the Crown Prince that I cannot leave you alone."

Bonnet nodded without hesitation. Her temper did not allow her to sit still.

The two of them approached the forest. As soon as they entered the forest, Xu Siling's nose twitched and she smelled the smell of blood!

Xu Siling frowned, touched the hilt of the sword with her right hand and pulled it out: "Mrs. Bonnet, don't run around around me."

"What's wrong, Mr. Siling!"

Xu Siling didn't say anything. Something terrible came into his mind.

Follow the smell of blood. The further you go, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.

Until they saw the source of the bloody smell, Xu Siling and Bonnet were stunned by the scene they saw.

Unbelievable.

In the mountains and forests, Queen Jeanne looked particularly lonely.

She lay quietly on the ground, lifeless.

The body was chopped down in the dense woods, and the blood dyed the surrounding land red, in stark contrast to the surrounding green.

Her eyes were filled with astonishment.

She was still holding two unfinished circle-painted crowns in her hands. In her tight grasp, the circles quietly split apart and fell around the corpse.

Bonnet stared in panic, covered his mouth as if shouting, but felt as if his throat was blocked.

Damn!

Xu Siling cursed secretly, realizing that there were still problems ahead.

"Mrs. Bonnet, follow me!"

Following the footprints left behind and walking a few steps further, the two of them were once again shocked by the scene in front of them!
The royal guards who followed the queen in front were hanging quietly from the tree.
Feet swaying in the wind.

Looking at the corpse of the royal guard, something suddenly flashed in Xu Siling's mind.

He thought of a terrible possibility
