Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 689
"What's going on...Sorry!"
He suddenly stood up and ran around the table to the old man, while shouting loudly:
"Come on, Her Majesty is poisoned!"
The servants standing outside the door hesitated when they heard the sound, but when they heard the sound of the porcelain plate being broken, they immediately rushed in with the candlestick. They arrived near Queen Isabella at about the same time as Jenkins. Her Majesty was already lying on the table in pain. Jenkins carefully raised her head in the dim light, amidst the old man’s painful grunt, I tried my nose and then I felt the pulse on my neck.
"What are you doing? Don't tell me there is no doctor here!"
He shouted at the servant on the side, so someone immediately ran out to call the doctor. During this period, Jenkins commanded the servant to induce vomiting for Queen Isabella, and at the same time let the people seal up all the food on the scene, and then ordered the chef who was in charge of cooking and the servant who bought the food to take care of tonight.
also ordered Queen Isabella's personal attendants to invite Duke Douglas Gerald to come as soon as possible, and then asked the captain of the royal guards in the courtyard of the mansion to come and block the entire house from anyone without permission.
"Do you want to notify the Carfax Field?"
asked the resolute-looking former army officer, standing straight in front of Jenkins with a serious expression on his face.
"First go to the six dukes who are now in Nolan, and then to the mayor Mr. Sachs Ruto, and ask them to call in the police. Remember, this matter is not allowed to be circulated, at least until your majesty wakes up."
Jenkins ordered.
While Jenkins arranged these things, the doctors who came with the Queen and her group from Berdylan arrived with their own diagnosis and treatment boxes. He first asked people to transfer Her Majesty the Queen to the bedroom, and then made a simple diagnosis, and finally came to the conclusion The same conclusion as Jenkins's naked eye observation:
"It's poisoning."
Dr. Larryld is a middle-aged man in his forties with a square face and a handsome look. He is the kind of person who looks very reliable. Although he has strong professional skills, he is limited by the tools and methods of this era, and he can't immediately diagnose what kind of toxin it is. Therefore, we can only follow the traditional method to continue Jenkins's vomiting just now, and at the same time use bloodletting to try to let the toxins flowing in the blood flow out. Of course, he did not forget to ask the servants to prepare milk. Although Dr. Larryd did not know about heavy metals, he also knew that some poisonings could be used to relieve symptoms with milk.
I don’t know if the amount of toxin is small, or if the vomiting is effective in time. Before the arrival of the dukes, the mayor and the police, Her Majesty successfully awakened once. But her face was still blue, obviously not all right. The awakening this time does not seem to be very long, and the old man is in a bad state.
"It's nine forty-five, and you have been in a coma for 21 minutes."
Seeing her wake up, Jenkins holding his pocket watch said immediately.
"This is your typical symptoms of poisoning, but don't worry, you will be fine."
Dr. Larryd, sweating, then added.
Queen Isabella, who had just awakened, looked around the bed, and then listened to Jenkins’s arrangement just now, with a barely smile on her face:
"Your arrangement is very good."
She whispered, the wrinkles on her face were piled up like hills, and she hardly saw such wrinkles on her face on weekdays.
"Lean all over, everyone lean in."
She suddenly yelled to the house again. At this time, an anxious walking sound came from the door, and when she turned her head, it turned out to be the Duke of Rochester, the youngest surviving Duke in the country at this time.
"Am I the first to arrive?"
He was talking profusely, his entire face flushed, as if he had run in directly.
"Come here, Your Majesty has something to say."
Jenkins greeted.
Including the doctor, the servant, the Duke, Jenkins, and the cat, everyone gathered around the bed. The weak old man lying on the bed said:
"In order to prevent accidents, as witnesses, please listen to me now make a will: I, Isabella Jane Middleton, hereby declare that this matter tonight has nothing to do with Jenkins Williams, he is my invitation The guest of, there is no chance to poison me. If I am unfortunate enough to meet the **** of death because of this despicable behavior, then my throne will be inherited by the descendants of the glorious Middleton family, Jenkins Redamput Williams... ..."
After that, Jenkins didn't listen to the slightly tedious personal property distribution. He felt doubts in his heart while touching the cat on his shoulder.
The first thing that does not need to be questioned is that the old man in front of him has no plans to pass the throne to Jenkins in the past or present. Today's poisoning incident is particularly strange, and at the time of making the will, if the Duke of Rochester is not there, then the witness here is not enough, but the Duke of Rochester was the first to arrive.
Although Jenkins didn’t know where the Duke lived, he had only met this young Duke on the dock where he welcomed the delegation from the South, but he came so quickly, there is indeed doubt, but it seems that it makes sense to insist on explaining. .
At this moment, Jenkins listened to some long-winded wills, looked at the dying old man, and thought of the dock assassination not long ago.
Now that I want to come, it is especially suspicious that Queen Isabella insisted on holding a welcome ceremony as originally planned before Miss Windsor spoke to persuade her, and it happened to be the Duke of Rochester who supported him at that time. For the assassination, there is now enough evidence to prove that it has nothing to do with other people present, so think about it carefully. On the dock that day, except for Jenkins, the gunman in the dark, and the kind pigeon in the sky, no one should know that the gunman’s real goal is Jenkins.
After all, the person who was shot was Victorm who was already dead. It was obvious that he was injured by innocent people because of the brief chaos caused by the cat.
"So, Queen Isabella didn't agree with common sense to keep everyone behind, not because she wanted to kill me by this means. She didn't know that the gunner's target was me. And when she didn't know the gunner's real target, Next, her purpose is..."
Judging by the standing position and common sense at the time, once the gunman appears, the real target of the gunman should be the most valuable person on the dock at that time. This is of course Queen Isabella herself. It just so happened that Jenkins was standing next to Her Majesty the Queen that day, and Victor, who was shot, could either be "unfortunately" blocking the gun for Jenkins, or blocking the gun for the Queen.
The shooting was not arranged by Queen Isabella. She subconsciously thought that she was the target, and it was also very possible.
"So...she wants herself to be hit by a bullet?"
Without today's events, Jenkins would not have reached this conclusion. Although the current "poisoning" incident seems reasonable, it is more suspicious than the Queen’s actions when the shooting occurred on the dock.
Although "poison killing" is common in various court novels, in fact, it is not common to use this method to assassinate. Not to mention, the security around Queen Isabella has always been quite good. From the time she took the throne to the present, Jenkins has learned from the memory of the original owner. There has never been a poisoning incident around her.
Now that she came to Nolan, she happened to be poisoned when she actively invited Jenkins to dinner, so there is reason to suspect that this was her own arrangement. The Duke of Rochester, who just happened to arrive, seemed to have learned the news in advance, and came to listen to the "will" as a witness. As for how to prove this...
"Duke, you didn't come here? I think your face is sweaty. Do you need ice water? Be careful not to get heatstroke."
At this time, the old man had finished dictating his will and fell into a coma again. The people in the room were panicking, the doctor checked the situation again, and Jenkins whispered to the young duke next to him.
"Yes, I rushed over when I heard the news, this is..."
The words after are not important anymore, because the first sentence is a lie. Therefore, I have confirmed the Duke’s identity as the “testamentary instrument” in this incident. Although the Duke may have poisoned him, it is obviously not good for him. As far as Jenkins learned from Miss Windsor, this The Duke is loyal to Queen Isabella, unless he loses his heart, otherwise he can only appear in such a coincidence by colluding in advance to know this.
"Therefore, although the first time was not deliberately arranged, but twice in a row, the queen intended to'endanger her life' in front of me. The first time, the Duke of Rochester helped her speak, indicating that the two had arranged the second time. I did that because I had a general plan. The second time started smoothly, but what was it for? I was seriously injured in front of me, and I made a will specially...The will is In order to gain my trust, this is certain, but what is the reason for this..."
PS: Only this chapter commemorates the book reaching eight thousand orders (I jumped to this data this morning, now it is estimated that this chapter is more than seven thousand).
When this book was put on the shelves, the first order was over 1,000, and both orders were over 900. Today is the 672th day after it was put on the shelves. Two years have passed, although it has never made it into the top ten of any list. But finally it has reached eight thousand orders. Close to the end of the book, there is no further possibility. This is probably the highest achievement this book can have. Although it is far less than the big guys who have been on the shelves and subscribed to various lists, but this result is also very content.
Taking this opportunity, I would like to thank everyone who can see here for their support. In the last volume of the book, the author will try his best to make a perfect ending to Jenkins' story.
Chapter 1695 Chapter 1668 The Shadow of Power
Queen Isabella’s bedroom, as the old man fell into a coma again, the atmosphere became more tense.
Jenkins next to the hospital bed didn't care that the servants secretly looked at him because of his "will". He continued to think about the situation in front of him, and quickly guessed the ins and outs of this matter, which is easy to think of.
then looked at the Duke who was taking the servant and handing a towel to wipe his face. The young Duke looked better now. Although he no longer sweats, he still looks panicked:
"Viscount Williams, if your Majesty died like this...In the current environment, this is really bad."
Those who are slightly politically sensitive know how important the Three Kings talks are now. Once the queen dies, the country is bound to be in turmoil because there is no unified leader. Even if Jenkins, who succeeded to the throne, can restore order as soon as possible with the help of others, in the Three Kings talks, it will definitely be because of the lack of overall leadership of the country. Being in a disadvantaged position, Fidiktelli was at a disadvantage in this millennia-old negotiation.
"Yes, your majesty can't just die like this, otherwise it would be too bad."
Jenkins nodded and followed what he said, thinking in his heart, if he didn’t worry about the kingdom’s interests being damaged, and started killing Queen Isabella now, he would not need to bother if he had the “legal” inheritance right. Loris and Miss Windsor are here.
Of course, this is just an idea. Jenkins thinks that although he is not a good person by the standard, he will not be a victim of the old man lying in the bed.
"You must find a way to heal your Majesty, otherwise it will be really unthinkable~"
He exclaimed, this was approved by the Duke of Rochester.
The Duke paced nervously in the room, whispering constantly, once the queen passed away, the next bad things would happen. What he did was not good for the status quo at all. It had no effect other than making the nervous doctor more nervous.
Suddenly, the Duke of Rochester seemed to have thought of something, suddenly turned his head to look at Jenkins, his eyes narrowed.
"is coming."
Jenkins thought, and then saw the Duke walking quickly, whispering beside him:
"Let's say something in a quieter place."
So he confessed that the servant and the doctor had done their best to take care of Queen Isabella, and the two walked into an empty guest room. The Duke of Rochester looked very nervous, and when he closed the door, he took a sharp breath and made up his mind, and then asked:
"Viscount Williams, now in a special situation, I have to ask you a question-are you the so-called gifter?"
"it is as expected."
Jenkins said in his heart, everything is just a trap designed by Queen Isabella to confirm whether Jenkins is a benefactor. It's a pity that they shouldn't lie in front of him, and the Duke of Rochester is a bit too anxious to ask this question. He should ask the doctor if the queen's body is really bad...The Duke probably doesn't want to bear the death of the queen. risk.
Without giving Jenkins a chance to answer, the Duke of Rochester said quickly:
"You are the heir to the royal family, and you should know how nervous the situation is now. Your Majesty must have nothing to do, or even miss tomorrow's second meeting due to poisoning. If you are a benefactor, please help your Majesty, I Knowing that you have a high status in the Church of the Sages, does this mean..."
"I have indeed heard of those extraordinary people from the church."
Jenkins interrupted him loudly, very harshly:
"But I am not."
"You must think of a way. Now that your majesty has determined that you are the heir, what else is necessary to conceal?"
the Duke said anxiously.
"But I really am not."
Jenkins also showed proper anxiety, but his expression remained serious, as if someone else was framing him as a liar.
"Oh, Viscount William, Your Majesty is your relative, and once she is unfortunate..."
"But, I really am not a gifter."
Jenkins emphasized again, seeing that the Duke of Rochester standing in front of him turned red, so he proposed:
"Why don't we go to the church for help? Since you think those gifted with extraordinary power and strange abilities have a way, why don't you send someone to church now? I can go personally."
"No, no way."
The Duke of Rochester shook his head quickly, he knew the "Tower Agreement". But thinking of Jenkins's proposal, it seems that he doesn't know the "Tower Agreement", and the chapters and clauses of this agreement regarding the extraordinary power of the church should be known to the benefactors.
I have considered many situations, but I didn't expect the queen to be involved in the danger personally, so that Jenkins couldn't show his feet. At the beginning of the plan, they regarded "Jenkins Williams" as an extremely kind and kind person based on the investigation. Otherwise, it is impossible to boldly declare Jenkins as the heir without his own protection. Jenkins started to kill everyone here, he was directly the king in legal theory.
Now Jenkins does not have any bad thoughts, but he still refuses to help his relatives, even without any intention. This is something that neither of the two who arranged the plan had expected.
"But, now if..."
"But I really am not an extraordinary person."
Jenkins once again emphasized that his acting skills are more exquisite than the Duke of Rochester, and the surprise, anger and helplessness on his face are just right.
"Since you refuse to bow to the church, you will always have some gifts under your Duke?"
Jenkins said again, not giving the Duke a chance to "seeking help" from him again:
"Although I am not a gifter of the church, I have heard some things from the local Bishop Parrod. A nobleman like you should have a gifter by his side? Why don't you find them to help your Majesty heal?"
"No, no, there is no such terrible person by my side."
The Duke of Rochester's face is even more ugly, although his face was red just now. Seeing that Jenkins was not letting go, he started pacing in a small area with his hands behind his back, and his leather shoes stepped on the floor in an annoying rhythm:
"Viscount William, I know that your majesty is passing now, it is also beneficial to you, but you have to take care of the overall situation. Now that the Three Kings are in talks, we can't live without..."
"Oh, Duke, this is an insult to me, what do you mean!"
Jenkins said loudly, he believed that the voice outside could be heard:
"If you are ten years younger, I will launch a glorious duel to you!"
It was probably the fate of someone who had heard of Jenkins duel, the Duke of Rochester trembled and immediately explained:
"No, sorry, I probably fainted just now because of anxiety, and I didn't mean to offend you. But now your Majesty is still in a coma, we always have to come up with a solution, although other doctors will be here soon, But I don’t think they can heal your Majesty immediately, or at least allow your Majesty to go to the meeting tomorrow morning."
"Yes, the situation is very bad now, but please don't think of me as that kind of very gloomy person. I will not have any bad thoughts because of the will just now. I can guarantee that, but I am really Not a gifter."
The two talked in the room on the topic of "Whether Jenkins is a gift". Time passed. Jenkins predicted that when the other dukes and Mr. Mayor were about to arrive, the door was knocked and the doctor took him. Here comes the good news:
"The servants caught the poisoned bad guy and found the antidote to the toxin! This is really lucky!"
The Duke of Rochester heard the news, and instead of looking at Jenkins's face, he strode out of the room to visit Queen Isabella, as if the conversation had never happened. Jenkins followed behind him, trying hard not to laugh:
"This is too bad. I thought it would take me at least tomorrow morning to ‘find’ the antidote. Since I’m willing to poison myself, why not hold on for longer?"
Actually, the antidote must be taken out now, because too many people can't let too many people know about tonight's "farce". After the antidote was confirmed to be true and the white-haired old man on the bed was allowed to take it, the dukes who had been hired by Jenkins' servants also arrived one after another.
Because they didn't want to leak the matter out, they didn't know what happened before they came here. After entering the bedroom, I heard what happened from the queen who had awakened again, and then all broke out in a cold sweat for tonight's thrills.
Of course, none of the young people present at the scene just took over the title. Everyone can see the strangeness of this matter. After all, there are too many flaws. But the dukes are also very sure that the confusing truth and bizarre events tonight must be related to the throne.
Some of them had seen the last throne change when they were young, but no one had participated in it personally, but they also knew that once such things were easily participated in, it was likely that they and their families would suffer disaster. Therefore, even if they understand that something is wrong, no one can easily express their thoughts.
Just standing aside and watching Jenkins Williams talking with Queen Isabella sitting on the side of the bed, the silent dukes wondered in their hearts, who did the hands tonight, and the one who benefited in the end, Who is in this room?
The woman married to Middleton and the descendants of Middleton, holding hands with concern at this moment, the eager family atmosphere is completely different from what just happened in this room. Those who saw this scene felt a little chilly. What these two most important members of the royal family showed at this moment was the most terrifying scene in the vortex of politics and power.
Everyone is suspicious, but none of the participants seem to want to go into it. From the perspective of the person standing by, this matter can never be guessed.
