Chapter 494 Tears of Provence

In the queen's bedroom, Emma mixed with other maids, quietly doing the morning cleaning work.

The queen was still sleeping peacefully, with the silk curtain hanging down, and only the outline of a ball of quilt could be seen faintly. Elizabeth had warned her when she came in, saying that the queen was too tired and she was not allowed to be disturbed by anyone.

They all walked on the floor in thick socks without making a sound.

Emma knelt on the floor and wiped it slowly. The heavy curtains were lowered, blocking all the light, and only a weak wall lamp was lit in the whole bedroom.

The dark bedroom looks dull and depressing, like a tomb full of death.

The other maids also smelled the unpleasant smell in the air, and hurriedly withdrew after a perfunctory one by one. Anyway, this kind of cleaning was done every day, and they would steal it if they could.

Emma had been sitting in a corner in the dark, staring at the figure on the bed. The queen seemed to be in a deep sleep, and she didn't turn over at all.

Seeing that all the maids had left, Emma stood up neatly and walked towards the dressing room like a ghost.

After pushing open the movable locker, she walked into the secret room.

"Your Majesty the Queen..." Emma called out in a low voice. In her heart, the old man sleeping in a wheelchair before her was the real queen, while the one sleeping in the silk curtain outside was just a woman corrupted by sin. It's just a shell.

Caroline slowly woke up from the dream, she looked at Emma in front of her, her eyes were always dull...

Emma opened the backpack she carried with her. There was a can of milk, cheese cheese, and small round biscuits in it... She originally wanted to smuggle the old man out of here, but she was discovered by others, so she had to give up halfway.

"This is what you want to eat, I brought you all, and this bottle of pills, take a look, is it what you want?"

In the room hidden behind the laundry room, Emma took a lot of effort to walk in from under the nose of the bodyguard, and stole the bottle of medicine that the old man wanted.

It was a small blue medicine bottle, and the English logo on the outside had been worn so badly that the handwriting could not be seen clearly. Even the area around the bottle cap had become black and murky. Such a bottle looked like it had been picked up from a garbage dump.The old man urged her to look for it. She thought it was some valuable jewelry or relic, but unexpectedly, it was just a medicine bottle.

"Bai...Suqing...thank you, I know, you are the only one who treats me best."

After drinking a can of milk, the old man gradually regained consciousness, and could already vaguely distinguish the outline of Emma.

Emma smiled and scratched her head, "You're mistaken, I'm Emma, ​​not Bai Suqing. Have you forgotten? Yesterday I went out behind your back..."

The old man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out, "Yes, Emma, ​​that's Emma... Good girl, you are a kind girl, can you help me find Bai Suqing, I'm afraid, or else I have Find her."

"Hehe, good! You can eat some biscuits first!"

"Excellent cheese, I haven't eaten it for many years." The old man's mental state has improved a bit. Although his face is a little yellow, his teeth are still good. All the snacks were eaten clean.

"The pills in this medicine bottle are no longer edible, I think you should throw them away!" Emma said worriedly.

"You can't throw it away... This is the last gift my mother gave me..." There was a gentle light in the eyes of the old man, and she fell into a short memory.

"Okay!" Emma nodded knowingly. It seems that she didn't want to take the medicine, but just wanted to keep the medicine bottle.

"Look, I picked a rose today, smell it, does it smell good?"

In this house where the sun cannot be seen, the old man cannot see the colorful world outside. Emma just tried her best to make the old man more happy. She stood up and handed the rose to the old man's hand. The old man took the rose, I put it under my nose, sniffed it lightly, and smiled, "It's very fragrant, just like the one given to me by General Arthur..."

Emma was listening carefully, when a sharp voice came suddenly, Emma picked up the backpack vigilantly, comforted the old man and said: "I will come to see you tomorrow, let's go first."

Pushing open the closet, I heard the Queen shouting, "I can't stand it, it hurts me to death, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, where did you die..."

Emma walked and ran out of the dressing room, quietly stuffed her backpack into a corner, and then hurried to the queen's bedside, turning up the lights.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

At this time, maybe Elizabeth was rushing here from the outside. If Emma ran out, she would definitely be caught. She simply pretended to be cleaning all the time, and then took care of the Queen by the way, so no one would will find out.

The queen rolled on the bed in pain, kicking the quilt to the floor.

"Go, go and call Elizabeth in, hurry up..."

"Oh, oh, ok, would you like some water?"

Before Emma got up, Elizabeth had already rushed in, "Why are you still here?"

"Oh, the toilet in the bathroom was clogged just now. I repaired it, and just after I fixed it, I heard the queen shouting..."

"Get out now!"

"Yes!" Emma took a deep breath and walked outside without looking back.

"Your Majesty, I'm here, how are you doing?"

Elisabeth lifted the gauze curtain, and the queen slapped her with a wave of her hand. A crisp slap made Elizabeth's ears ring.

"You idiot, didn't I ask you to change my blood? Why haven't you changed it yet?"

"Your Majesty, I also want to exchange blood for you, but now I can't find a suitable person. There are no death row prisoners in the palace who can exchange blood for you..."

Elizabeth has been busy all day, contacting everywhere to buy blood, but she has never found anyone who has the same blood type as the Queen.

"Look for Caroline, Caroline, all I want is her blood."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work. Dr. Med has already said that she won't live long. If this continues, she will die..."

"Who cares about her, change my blood right away, or you will be the one who dies!" The queen screamed in a trembling voice, driven mad by the pain.

"Okay, okay, I'll go now!"

Elizabeth was also terrified, and she didn't dare to go on any longer. The queen had a bad temper and a cruel heart, and she was in the climax of pain. Maybe an upset really killed her.

After pushing open the movable wardrobe, Elisabeth stepped on something, slipped, and fell into the mud. She just got slapped by the queen, and now she was thrown again by something. , Elisabeth was furious, but she had nowhere to vent her anger. She turned the light in the room to the brightest, only to see that it was a dirty and worn-out medicine bottle that knocked her down just now, and the medicine cap didn’t know where to go. She picked it up and saw that it was empty, and she angrily threw the medicine bottle into the face of the maid behind her.

"How do you clean up, you didn't see such a big piece of garbage, it's really careless, let's see how I clean up you later."

Caroline slowly opened her eyes, and she looked at Eliza with a white smile, which was very creepy.

"What are you laughing at? You don't have the right to laugh at me. You should cry soon. The last drop of blood in your body will be drawn out..."

Elizabeth shouted angrily, and immediately ordered the maid to push Caroline outside. The smile on Caroline's face seemed to be frozen. The place slipped quietly to the ground...

In the south of France, in Provence, Mina stepped out of the taxi. Under the golden sun, a large area of ​​roses bloomed happily. In this intoxicatingly beautiful place, she seemed to have returned to the royal palace of the Netherlands.

After a brief absence, she smiled and continued on her way. In the past few days, she has been tossing and turning, starting from around the Sahara, and has been looking for the trace of Bernard Shaw.

To her disappointment, she couldn't find any trace of it. Bernard Shaw seemed to be really dead. On the territory once controlled by him, there was no familiar face anymore. He seemed to have evaporated from the world. Just like that, all the forces collapsed.

And here, this small town called Nice, was her last hope.

She has lived here for a long time. She dragged her suitcase and walked slowly on the path full of flower fragrance. Here, you can't find any atmosphere related to the city.

Blue sky, white clouds, lavender fields, blooming roses, plainly dressed French peasants, and fresh air, this place is completely like a paradise. She believes that if Bernard Shaw has nowhere to escape one day, he will definitely Will come back here because no one knew he would be here.

At the end of the path, there is a French-style retro villa surrounded by a white-painted fence. You can see that the whole villa is submerged in a sea of ​​red flowers. It is a climbing plant that blooms pink flowers. So far , Mina does not know the name of this flower.

In the empty courtyard, there are a few butterflies resting on the swing, swayed by the wind, time seems to go back to the past. At that time, every time Bernard Shaw came back, he would bring some small gifts, sometimes skirts, sometimes It's a hairpin. When she was an ignorant girl, she really thought he was a good person, so she respected him wholeheartedly. She thought that after losing her brother, she would regain a brother's love... …

Unexpectedly... In the end, he actually treated her like that.

With a slight pain in her heart, she stretched out her hand and pushed towards the circular fence door, and was suddenly stunned, her hands and feet felt cold for an instant.

The locks on the fence were open and hanging casually, which meant that someone was inside.

At this moment, she had the idea of ​​escaping and retreating. She couldn't imagine what methods he would use to deal with her, and the tension and terror in her heart rose spontaneously.
