"Where...is she?"

Even though she was a little weak, Diana still gritted her teeth when she saw the photo of this bitch. As for decency and elegance, at this moment, she didn't care at all.

Little Stone pointed to the hospital building outside the window and said, "She was arrested last night and had surgery overnight. Her ward is right next to yours."

"Oh... no wonder I heard some noise this morning. It turned out to be her! Hahaha, it turned out to be her!"

"Princess, the doctor who performed the surgery on you should also come back with us. When we return to Wales, he will receive the punishment he deserves."

Little Stone added with a smile.

Although not all the people who participated in hurting her were tied up, Diana was already very satisfied with the act of only punishing the main culprit, which was far beyond her expectations.

"Um...where's Alan?"

"The young master went to London for a meeting. Today is the closing ceremony of the House of Lords. You were still awake before he left, so I didn't come to disturb you."

Xiao Shitou is very good at talking. It was obvious that Alan didn't look at her before leaving, but he said that Alan didn't look at her because he was afraid of disturbing her.

"Thanks a lot……"

“This is what I should do.”

Little Stone complimented again, then put away the photo, sat down, and waved through the car window, indicating that the convoy could set off back to Wales.

…

"Why do you look so haggard? Where have you been these days? I heard that you went to Scotland some time ago?"

The Duke of Angus was happily chatting with the people around him, but when he saw Alan coming, he quickly greeted a few noble lords, came up to Alan and started asking questions.

There is still half an hour before the meeting officially starts at 9 o'clock. The lounge is already full. A quick glance shows that there are about three or four hundred people here today.

The House of Lords, which usually only had a hundred or so members, was surprisingly lively today.

Alan glanced and retracted his gaze, patting the Duke of Angus's slightly fatter belly and said, "I had a small accident last night and didn't get enough rest. I rushed back from outside early in the morning."

"Well... don't learn from me and play around when I was young. Your body won't be able to handle it when you get old."

The Duke of Angus is now in a half-follower, half-elder position in front of Alan. When they chat, the topics are mainly life and gossip. After a word of concern, he will start telling Alan the latest gossip in the House of Lords.

…

"Have you heard? Those bitches in the House of Commons are going to cause trouble for us these days."

"Oh? Civil or martial?"

Allen became alert instantly after hearing that. He thought the Queen was bored and was going to let the two houses fight. Then he, as the handsome man in the House of Lords, must be the vanguard. By then, Master Allen, with a broadsword in hand, would surely be able to fight his way in and out of the House of Commons and let them see the Hill family's inherited swordsmanship.

“No, no, no…” Duke Angus quickly reached out to stop him.

"They are the ones who are causing trouble for us, not fighting. However... I think something is wrong."

Hearing Earl Angus say this, Alan became even more curious.

"Have you read all the news from the past few days? The recent media have all been reprinting news from the Americans, saying that... the queen has angered..."

The Duke of Angus stretched out his stubby index finger, pointed toward the sky, and winked at Alan.

As for gossip...it can only be understood and not said too obviously. They are in the House of Lords now. The Queen might have arrived by now and is probably resting backstage. It would be a bit bad if someone heard it.

"Hmm...and then."

Regarding the various rumors reprinted in the media, Allen only lit a fire at the beginning, but he did not continue to follow up on the situation afterwards. This thing is too dangerous, and the Americans are really powerful...

All kinds of news are reported in a very realistic manner. Just reading the headlines makes one shudder. It seems as if Britain is about to collapse and the Queen is about to abdicate.

…

"Tsk... Then the Queen has not responded to the recent news, as if... she doesn't care. Finally, it was delayed until a few days ago. The Queen said that she would give an annual summary speech at the closing ceremony of the House of Lords, but..."

At this point, the Duke of Angus smiled helplessly and said in a lighter voice, "Hey... you said these people, it's ok if they don't come to the meeting normally, but the Buckingham Palace Secretariat and the Department of Noble Affairs have called the contact persons, and even so... there are still people who can't be found and have clearly stated that they will not come."

"Then...the people in the House of Commons thought that since we have so many seats for members and these nobles don't want to come, why not remove some seats for members of the House of Lords and cancel the previous automatic election system and change it to an election system."

"???"

After hearing this, Alan already understood what was going on. No wonder everyone was notified one by one about the closing ceremony this year. It turned out that the Queen specifically asked him to give a summary speech.

It's like the leader calling the entire company to a meeting, and all department leaders, team leaders, etc. have to go to the conference room for the meeting.

Then what……

As per the usual nature of the noble gentlemen, some of them did not come or simply could not be contacted.

This is really annoying. The chairman wants to hold a meeting, but most of the company’s leaders don’t come to the meeting room?

In this case, no matter who becomes the chairman, she will be angry...

The current system of the British House of Lords is that all hereditary nobles (please note, not all nobles, those who have received a medal or have been directly commended by the Queen) are called life peers, and their titles cannot be passed on to their descendants. Hereditary nobles... truly live and die with the country, and as long as all the people in the family are still alive, the title can be passed down from generation to generation, as long as... you can afford the inheritance tax.

There are currently about 600 hereditary aristocrats in Britain.

There is no specific number because it is difficult to count...

Once these nobles inherit the title and reach the age of 21, they will automatically become members of the House of Lords, and then they can come to the House of Lords in London to watch the fun.

If a special situation occurs, like Allen, who inherited the title early due to family reasons, he would have to wait until he was 21 years old to automatically obtain the status of a member of the House of Lords.

Anyway, no matter what, every hereditary noble is, in theory, a member of the House of Lords.

but……

Not all nobles are into politics, or come to meetings or anything like that.

There aren't many nobles like Allen who like to join in the fun in the House of Lords...

A large number of nobles stay in their own castles all year round or travel around the world. Ordinary people cannot see them anyway, as everyone lives in a different "dimension".

Such nobles are common in Great Britain. Why would they come to the House of Lords to hold a meeting?

His home is hundreds of miles away from London. He wastes two days coming here. How many meetings does he have to attend in a year? What is he doing here?

Watch the nobles chatting and quarreling with each other?

Why not do something else with this time... It's not like all nobles have no worries about food and clothing. There are also those who come from poor families and they have to work hard to make money, so they don't have time to attend meetings.

Anyway, these people are hard to come by. They don't come once or twice a year anymore, but maybe not even once for several years.

Faced with such a group of tough guys...the Queen is helpless!

According to this line of thinking, many noble lords did not want to attend the meeting and offended the Queen. Then there was news that someone in the House of Commons proposed to cancel a group of noble members of the House of Lords.

Here...

There must be a connection!

Alan snorted when he thought of this. He couldn't comment on this kind of thing. Anyway, if the situation continued like this, the Queen would take action against these people sooner or later.

…

"Hey? What are you thinking about? Tell me...Aren't you in a hurry?"

The Duke of Angus looked at Alan, who fell into deep thought after listening to the gossip, and patted him.

"This kind of thing... we can talk about it when the documents come out. We can choose not to come, but we can't cancel our status as parliamentarians. As far as I know... there are a few old people who don't come normally. When they really come, even the queen will have to greet them with a smile. Why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk about it when the time comes."

Alan didn't want to be the first to take action in such matters. To be honest, canceling the seats of MPs had little to do with him. Anyway, others might not have the status of MPs at that time, but he, Master Allen, could not. If anyone didn't let him come, he would come to the House of Lords with a sword to see who dared to stop him.

Even though these politicians in the House of Commons have the Queen's support, they are still bullies. When faced with those noble lords who keep silent, they may still do something. But when faced with someone like Allen who is famous for being reckless, you can try to do something. After you finish doing it during the day, they will bring their men to their homes at night to duel with you...

…

Ten minutes before the closing ceremony begins, in the royal lounge.

There are a few smaller seats next to the two most conspicuous sofa thrones.

This lounge is reserved for royal family members to take a temporary rest when they attend meetings.

The Queen was leaning to the right with her right arm resting on the armrest of the sofa. Prince Philip on the left was holding a book whose cover he did not even look at. He glanced at the book without much interest, and from time to time he glanced in the direction of the princess on the right, intentionally or unintentionally.

These days…even Prince Philip has been grounded.

Well... to be precise, it's not the kind of house arrest that means you can't leave the house, but all recent business or charity activities have been cancelled. As a result, Prince Philip can only go to Buckingham Palace except for occasional walks in the suburbs... His home, Windsor Castle, was burned down again, so he can't go back even if he wants to...

…

The Queen felt someone's eyes sweeping over her again, and she turned her head suddenly and glared at Prince Philip. Prince Philip was so scared that he quickly shook the book in his hand and pretended to read it very seriously.

The two of them are now... in a cold war period.

The reason for all this...half of it is because of the rumor that has been popular recently, and half of it is because of Prince Philip himself.

As we all know, all members of the royal family often attend various activities. Among them, if calculated by attendance rate, Boss Cha would definitely rank first.

At his peak in a year, he could attend more than 600 events!

What does this mean? On average, he attends two events a day. Taking into account the travel time, Boss Cha basically spends all year round attending events in various places. If holidays are included, the number of events he attends every day may be even higher.

Who is the next person?

It's Prince Philip!

At his peak, he could attend one to two hundred events a year, while the Queen was only ranked third. Although she did not attend as many events as the father and son, the events she attended were the most important, and she only attended high-quality events.

…

Prince Philip himself also likes to attend events.

Generally, he likes to go wherever a brand invites him, or to places like schools or shelters, and enjoys the feeling of being inspected by a leader.

But Prince Philip has a very rare but unacceptable shortcoming, which is his sharp tongue...

His ability to talk nonsense is basically at the highest level that he has learned naturally.

In the past, the media has occasionally exposed such situations, but basically the Queen would suppress it and the news would go away without causing any big waves.

But this time it was a bit unfortunate... Around September, Prince Philip attended an event to comfort a performance troupe.

Those who received condolences at that time were all older dancers and some community volunteers. These people... they performed for free and provided help to ordinary people. It was a serious charity activity.

When Prince Philip was shaking hands with the volunteer, he asked, "Do you find it hard?"

…

This is a very common sentence. No matter where it is, the person being consoled will reply with "It's hard work but worth it", and the leader will smile and say a few words of encouragement, and that's all.

The people in Britain are more straightforward and rigid in temperament. Plus with Prince Philip's status, when he asks if it is hard, the people below will definitely say it is, instead of being so-called humble and saying it is not hard. That kind of thing is not popular here.

but……

After the black volunteer finished talking about her hard work, what she received was not encouragement from Prince Philip, but an extremely vicious remark.

"If it's so hard, why don't you just die?"

"???"

Whether it was the volunteer or the other people around, they were all stunned when they heard Prince Philip's words.

Everyone present was stunned by this sentence.

And then... the volunteer was so angry that he started crying, and the event ended abruptly.

Originally, this incident was just a small accident in Prince Philip's daily sharp tongue. Anyway, someone cleaned it up for him by saying something like the prince was old and had mispronounced the words, and it was let go by fooling around.

But recently because of that rumor, Philip's dark history was somehow dug up again. This incident happened not long ago, and there are many people who have experienced it personally and can testify to it, but it was dug up by the media.

In addition, after hearing about this incident, the people who had been helped by the volunteers were also dissatisfied with this outspoken prince.

This caused the Queen, who was already a little irritable recently, to become even more irritable, and she simply cancelled all of his activities before the end of the year.

…

Capel gently pushed open the door of the lounge, bent over and tiptoed to Boss Cha, and whispered in his ear, "Your Highness... Mr. Allen has finished his work, their people took the princess away, and our people went in to confirm the situation at around seven o'clock."

"Um?"

Boss Cha carefully glanced at the queen next to him, and after a moment of deliberation, he asked, "Well...how is she?"

Capel's lips trembled twice and said, "Same as...the princess."

“Back off!”

Boss Cha took a breath and waved his hand to signal Capel to leave.

"yes."
