372. The Queen's Determination

Whether it is sadness and joy or ice, or ice, this is the state in Elizabeth Tudor's heart at this moment.

With the assistance of the Easterners, the intelligence agency cracked the murder treason case that Western France and other countries manipulated their cousin Mary to make a move, which was a big joy.

But the problem arises at the same time - and then what? Then what to do?

Mary is the former Queen of Scotland and the mother of James, the king of Scotland. James pushed him up, but his blood is thicker than water, which is a fact that he cannot change.

Moreover, he had no heirs without marriage, and counted over and over again. James was the qualified candidate for his successor and ranked first.

At the same time, Mary is also the object of great support and attention of conservative countries such as Spain and France. Last night, the Roman Church gave a note to itself through Spain. If Mary's life is threatened, then war will follow!

A large-scale war of destruction!

Internal and external troubles! Internal and external troubles!

Put down the teacup that was already cooled in his hand, and the bottom of the cup collided gently with the tabletop, making a slight sound, and Elizabeth was lost again.

Isabella looked behind her aunt and was secretly anxious for her. One hundred of hers could feel her aunt's difficulties, but ten thousand could not help her.

Seeing Elizabeth bringing the cup of cold tea again, Isabella said softly: Her Majesty, let's change to some hot ones.

Elizabeth I seemed to be startled and trembled slightly, but then she reacted from her thoughts and answered the question with an irresponsible question: What are she doing these days?

She didn't say who she was referring to, but she knew she was asking her.

Mary...The former queen was imprisoned in the Tower of London, and she was writing letters, constantly writing letters. Isabella thought for a moment before answering slowly.

Elizabeth I was silent for a while and asked again: Who did you write to?

King James Isabella immediately added: I wrote and teared, and I wrote and teared.

Elizabeth I nodded, was silent for a while again, and asked again: What is Raleigh doing recently?

Isabella knew that her aunt still hoped that one of her old lovers would awaken and support her when she needed it most.

However, the facts are always so hurtful. Isabella swallowed her dry throat and said hoarsely: Raleigh... Sir Raleigh has recently discovered some new things, which are shadow puppetry from the East. She is very concerned and spends time in the troupe almost every day.

Elizabeth felt sad for no reason. He once regarded this man as the only person who could marry in the future, but now it seems that he was thinking too much.

After a pause, he asked again: Where is Sun Qilan? What is he doing?

Isabella suddenly felt energetic and raised some tone and replied: The Mexican Marquis has been transforming warships recently!

Elizabeth I turned his head and looked at the niece behind him from the corner of his eyes and asked again: Why is it transformed?

Isabella looked at the crow's feet on the corners of her aunt's eyes and felt quite sad, but she tried her best to cheer up and replied in a firm tone: He is preparing for the battle!

As he said that, he slowly stepped forward, picked up the empty cup at Elizabeth I's hand, handed it to the maid who came up behind him, and changed the cup and filled it with black tea again.

The Mexican Marquis has been contacting the Navy headquarters in the past few days to strengthen the warship. Isabella was a little excited as she said: I heard from the Navy that the Mexican Marquis' team developed a new artillery that can improve the overall performance by 30% based on the strongest artillery existing!

Elizabeth I asked with a cup: What about the cost?

Isabella suppressed her joy and said: The cost will not increase! Aunt! The improvement is all about the process, the cost will not increase!

After saying that, she felt that her condition was not very suitable, so she tried to say in a calm tone: Of course, if you consider that new technology needs to train new technical workers, the labor cost will still increase accordingly. It is expected that it will not exceed...

She thought about the navy's statement that the cost of 5% was increased, and for safe reasons, she continued: It should be increased by about 10%!

Ten percent...Elizabeth I's voice was a little ethereal: Can this ten percent solve the current problem?

Isabella did not answer this question, but said: The Mexican Marquis also said that the new wolf king in the jungle should replace the old wolf king, and both sides must go through a life-and-death battle.

As he said that, he walked to the front of Elizabeth I, looked at his aunt's eyes and continued: Therefore, there must be a battle between England and West! The Marquis said that the crown that had not been baptized by war was unstable.

Elizabeth I looked up at Isabella and asked with a smile: Have you seen him?

Isabella's face turned red for no reason, she cleared her throat and replied: Yes, I met Mary when I went to the Tower of London to visit him.

What do you think? Elizabeth I asked another seemingly irrelevant sentence.

Isabella mustered up the courage and said: Aunt, you should keep him!

In Elizabeth I's slightly puzzled look, Isabella continued to say seriously: I mean to stay, rather than just as now, relying on the identity of an honorary marquis to lie on him.

Seeing that the Queen was silent, Isabella continued: This Eastern captain is pragmatic and brave, with superhuman wisdom and courage. Let him be left, and we will create a better era and let him go...

What will happen if he is let go? Elizabeth I squinted her eyes and looked at her niece. She has grown up and is no longer the little girl who can only answer yes! Aunt.

If we let him go, we can only be bystanders and witnesses of history. Aunt Isabella replied as if she was talking and singing.

Elizabeth I stared at his niece tightly and said three words after a long time: Call him!

......

I came to Westminster Palace again and met the supreme ruler of England in the side hall. Her mental state was a little excited, but her faint red eyes and her fatigue that could only be covered by the thick foundation told me that she had a bad rest.

You are looking for me, Her Majesty the Queen. I said lightly after saluting.

Elizabeth I pointed to the chair opposite and signaled me to sit down. Of course, I sat opposite her after saluting. Isabella came over and poured tea.

You did a good job in capturing Mary. I think I should reward you! Marquis Elizabeth I said with a smile.

I couldn't help but laugh and shook my head and said: No matter what I do, I have to finish it before I can get the money. How can I take the initiative to receive the reward when I do it halfway? Her Majesty, you are such a good person!

Elizabeth I knew there was something in my words, so she picked up the cup and sucked it, and asked in a low voice: What do you think we need to do next?

I also picked up the cup and smelled it, put it down, and said in an aria: The grass on the Liliyuan, withering and flourishing every year. The wildfire cannot be burned, and the spring breeze will grow again.

Elizabeth I's eyes flashed, and he stared at me for a long time and didn't say anything. But he suddenly asked me: Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?

I asked back without answering: Have you ever thought about the consequences of not doing this?

Elizabeth I frowned and said: Mary is alive, there is no war, I have more chances of breathing and development, right?

I couldn't help but laugh again: Her Majesty Queen, let me tell you a story. Elizabeth I nodded and signaled me to start.

The wolf came to the stream and saw the lamb drinking water there. The wolf wanted to eat the lamb very much, so he deliberately looked for trouble and said: You have dirty the water I drank! What's your concern?

The lamb was startled and said gently: How could I get the water you drink? You stand upstream, the water flows from you to me, not from me to you.

Elizabeth I smiled and said: What a cute little lamb.

Isn't it? I shrugged and continued to preach: The wolf said angrily: Even so, you are always a bad guy! I heard that you were talking bad things about me behind my back last year!

The poor lamb shouted: Ah, dear Mr. Wolf, that would not happen. I was not born last year!

The wolf didn't want to argue anymore, bared his teeth, approached the lamb, and shouted: You little bad guy! The one who said bad things about me was either you or your father, it was the same anyway. As he said that, he rushed towards the lamb.

Speaking of this, my face was filled with a playful smile and I asked softly: Her Majesty, what do you think of this story?

Elizabeth's face was a little gloomy and his voice was slightly hoarse: They are not wolves! I am not fragile and incompetent lambs!

But I said without hesitation: Is it a wolf or a sheep, it depends on strength and action! Not defense!

Elizabeth's face turned pale. I slowed down my voice, but still said with great firmness: If they have one, there will be two, and then there will be three, four, five, and six. Her Majesty, you can hide for Christmas and be wary of Easter. As the saying goes, a wise man will have a misunderstanding. How long can you be wary of?

The queen breathed a long sigh and asked: But if I kill Mary, I will face the next ones from Spain and France!

I asked with a sneer: The Spanish Navy's military expenditure increases by 20% every year. Her Majesty the Queen, please tell me who are they aiming for?

Elizabeth I was speechless. I slowly stood up, opened the window, pointed out the window and said to Elizabeth I: The world is extremely vast, but only the strong can soar, and the weak will never stand!

Since you came to power, you have worked hard to strengthen the navy and constantly plunder and weaken Spain. I think your ultimate goal is not to be as simple as being the richest woman in the world!

My words became more and more sharp. Isabella was already giving me a wink from behind, wanting me to stop. But I was unmoved and stared at Elizabeth I.

I know, I believe, I firmly believe that this powerful woman who is invincible will make the right choice.

Sure enough, Elizabeth I picked up the teacup, took a sip, took another sip, slowly put down the teacup, but still asked in a calm tone: How sure are you?

I answered without hesitation: At least 90%!

Elizabeth I was a little surprised: You are so confident? We are facing the most powerful navy in the world!

I said proudly: The most powerful ones used to be. Now, they must accept the reality of changing dynasties!

The quiet needle in the room was heard, and Elizabeth I was holding the teacup in his right hand. I almost heard the squeaking sound of the skin rubbing against the cup surface, but still didn't say a word and waited silently.

Suddenly, Elizabeth I picked up the teacup, but did not put it to her mouth, but fell heavily again!
