Boss Cha sat carefully in the most standard sitting posture. He sat on the small sofa next to the queen. He seldom sat like this at ordinary times, and only did so in special circumstances.
but……
As soon as Capel left, a voice came to his ears.
"Ahem...what's wrong?"
Hearing the Queen's voice, Boss Cha thought for a moment, adjusted his mood, turned his head and said calmly, "Mom (Note 1)... These are just small things. When the people below have finished, please report to me."
After saying this, Boss Cha didn't even raise his head. But after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear the Queen's reply. Boss Cha could only bite the bullet and continue: "It's... about Diana..."
She described in detail how he handled the problem, how he leaked the information to Karami, and how he induced Karami to let her arrange people to do it, until the end when Capel notified Allen to go see Diana.
"Um……"
The queen took a deep look at Boss Cha. This plan seemed a bit vicious...it was not like Boss Cha's usual style.
As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than his mother. Boss Cha is cowardly and indecisive by nature. Now that he is older, he can be a bit stubborn and self-righteous sometimes, but he lacks ruthlessness.
"Who gave you this idea?"
Boss Cha's face twitched and he stared at the carpet without saying a word. This was his way of protesting. Not speaking meant denial. He wanted to express that no one could give him any advice on this matter!
"snort."
Seeing Boss Cha's reaction, the Queen snorted coldly and said, "That Allen and Diana are relatives. You treat her like this, and Allen has no complaints?"
"Yes... So, he sent people to arrest the doctor last night, and... Karami."
Boss Cha still didn't look up, but this time he responded.
"!"
The queen raised her eyebrows, as if she had discovered a new continent, looked Boss Cha up and down, and a gratified smile appeared on her face again.
"You took advantage of his impulse and deliberately let him go to see Diana again at night, and then gave him a whole night to do it? Are you so sure that he would do it?"
When Boss Cha thought of Alan's hostility towards Karami, he sniffed subconsciously. If that kid missed such an opportunity, he would not be called Alan!
It was said that not long after Allen arrived at the hospital, his men were sent out to arrest people, and they were quite efficient.
"I know him."
"Well... you did a great job this time. You solved two problems for yourself, deepened the conflict between them, and found a reason to punish him."
“…”
Boss Cha lowered his head, his face twitched, and he didn't want to respond.
Since he is getting a divorce, he must be determined to solve all the problems, and after the divorce, he has to get married again.
But if he doesn't solve the trouble with Karami, he won't be able to get past the Queen.
If you can't even solve your own family affairs, how can you talk about higher things?
So...
He was ruthless to the end and solved Karami's troubles at the same time. Alan did not disappoint him and acted cleanly and efficiently.
As for Karami...
She will get the position she wants in the future, and paying a little price for this position is worth it in Boss Cha's opinion!
…
"I won't punish him."
After thinking about it, Boss Cha blurted out another sentence.
The queen was stunned for a moment, then thought that for a person like Alan who was straightforward and had a bad temper, always punishing him might have a counterproductive effect. He was just confined to house arrest for half a year in the first half of the year because of murder. She couldn't punish him all year round. This might have a counterproductive effect. It would be better to give him some rewards.
"Well... it's just like raising a dog. My dogs usually bite people, and I don't care. But when I ask them to bite someone, they have to dare to do it. After they've done that, I will give them some rewards."
"I see!"
Faced with the Queen's on-the-spot experience sharing, Boss Cha was as obedient as a primary school student.
"Now that it's done, take advantage of the royal family's Christmas Eve gathering tomorrow to announce your divorce to the public, and save all the bad things for this year."
The queen sighed, as if she had come to her senses, and suddenly gave another suggestion.
"I……"
This was the moment he had always dreamed of, but when it really happened, Boss Cha hesitated.
The two are still lying in bed, and Diana will definitely not be able to attend the royal Christmas Eve party tomorrow night.
Now the outside world doesn't know that Diana is in the hospital. If Diana doesn't show up at that time, according to the Queen's current intention, she will use this gathering to announce the news directly to the public. At that time, even if the media wants to find the person involved to find out the news, they won't be able to find her!
As for whether anyone would really dare to go to Wales to find out the news.
Even if they were given ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare.
However... this approach is obviously taking advantage of someone's misfortune, and Boss Cha is indeed a little hesitant.
"snort……"
The queen glanced at the hesitant Boss Cha again. Compared with what he had said before, this approach was a bit insignificant, but Boss Cha had done such cruel things, and now he hesitated in the face of such a small matter. From this perspective… this is not growing up, but there are still people giving him advice.
"Is it about time? You should go and give your speech."
Looking at the silent Boss Cha, the Queen changed the subject directly.
"Ah? Oh...Okay mom, I'll go over first then."
Boss Cha rubbed his pants, stood up and picked up the speech beside him.
…
According to the procedure, before the meeting begins, the national anthem "God Save the Queen" will be sung first, and then the speech of the Minister of the House of Lords will be heard to summarize.
The Minister of the House of Lords then invites Mr. Cha out, and after Mr. Cha finishes his speech, Mr. Cha invites the Queen out.
The Queen will speak after she comes on stage.
This is the process of the first half of today's closing ceremony.
…
Alan just moved his mouth but made no sound.
Just like the group singing in the past, quietly slacking off.
When Boss Cha comes out, he will lead the applause. That will mean he has completed his mission. All that remains is to listen to the "leader"'s speech.
If he didn't have to, Alan wouldn't want to attend today's closing ceremony.
This time, the Queen did not wear traditional monarchical attire. Instead, she wore ordinary formal attire, just like Mr. Cha who was wearing a suit just now. Both were very formal, but compared with the attire of everyone in the House of Lords, it was somewhat out of place.
…
"Ahem... Thank you all for coming to this meeting today. Thank you to all of you loyal subjects of the kingdom for coming to listen to me. Thank you to everyone who came today."
The first thing the Queen said when she came up was to put a big hat on him.
Those who came are loyal ministers, but what about those who didn’t come?
"In previous years, the closing ceremony should have summarized the past, gains and losses of the year, and then imagined the course of next year, but I don't want to talk about these today."
The queen wore glasses today. Under the light, looking at her eyes through the glasses, her eyes looked cold and ferocious.
"Recently, there have been constant rumors from the outside world, starting with the fire at Windsor Castle and continuing until now, on and off for a month."
"This year was supposed to be the 40th anniversary of my accession to the throne, and it should have been a happy year, a glorious year, but so many things have happened this year, and for me, this is very important."
…
"Why?"
Alan was listening to the Queen's speech, but who knew that she would suddenly start speaking Latin? Alan was extremely disgusted by the Queen's sudden mixing of Latin into English; he didn't understand!
Using his arm to support the old man beside him, Allen asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what did you mean by that word just now? I didn't understand."
"It's Latin, and roughly means bad, bad, or disaster. It's used here to mean that this is a bad year."
The old noble councilor with curly white hair was pulled aside by Allen for questioning. He looked at Allen with disdain and explained to him in a low voice.
In formal occasions, members of the royal family are not allowed to use "vulgar" or "low-end" English words.
Because it's not elegant, so... sometimes when the Queen speaks, it sounds weird, as if she's at a loss for words or her descriptions are weird.
Unless she is very angry and wants to express something, but she can't break the rules, so she can only speak in this way of English mixed with Latin.
The royal family only stipulates that we cannot say some bad English words, but does not stipulate that we cannot say other bad foreign words?
Theoretically, if the Queen is willing to learn, she can even mix Chinese swear words like "Cao Nima" and "Fuck your uncle" into English from time to time, and it will not be considered a violation.
But given the Queen's temper, she probably won't learn Chinese specifically for these things. On the contrary, Boss Cha might learn Chinese for the convenience of speaking.
Alan understood the meaning of the word and translated it again in his mind. In other words, the Queen just admitted that this year was a bad year. If it was translated more literary, it could also be called a troubled year.
It is quite rare to hear such words coming from the Queen's mouth.
…
"Since the beginning of the year, this year has been extremely unlucky. My child Annie has had problems in her marriage, and in May there were some minor accidents..."
At this point, the Queen suddenly raised her head and saw the little golden-haired boy with a striking appearance in the crowd below. He was sitting very straight, looking at her and listening attentively. The Queen Mother glared at Allen and continued reading the manuscript.
"In August, Andrew's marriage had problems again, and in September, the pound and Philip had problems again."
"In October, I fell ill again... During my recovery, I wanted to renovate the house. In November, Windsor Castle caught fire again..."
Having said this, the queen looked up, took a breath, and glanced at all the nobles and clergy present.
These are her family affairs, problems with her children or husband.
They all seem to be family matters, but each one is enough to have a big impact, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
Even so, she subconsciously ignored many small things that she was embarrassed to mention, such as the conflict between Diana and Boss Cha at the beginning of the year.
If you add these, it really is a fuss from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, with everyone in their family taking turns to perform, and each of them being on the "hot search" and "headline news".
To some extent, their whole family was disgraced in front of the whole world for a whole year, and at the end of the year, even she and Prince Philip could not escape.
As the head of the family, the Queen, Prince Philip made headlines at the end of the year because of his talkativeness, while she herself made headlines at the end of the year because of rumors that the castle was on fire.
With only a week left in 1992, a member of the royal family must come to bring the year to an end.
And this candidate...
"And this month... in the final days of this terrible year, my child... Charles..."
At this point, the Queen turned her head and glanced at Boss Cha who was looking at her with horror, and continued: "I have also approved his divorce request... He will officially divorce Diana after tomorrow."
Boss Cha never expected that he was just soft-hearted for a moment and the Queen pushed him out directly without even giving him time to think!
…
"coax!"
As the queen finished speaking, Boss Cha, who was standing not far from the queen, was stunned, and so were the noble lords present.
Good guy...
Is the royal news so dense recently?
Not even Christmas?
As expected, he is worthy of being the first crown prince of Europe. Well done, Boss Cha!
Even during Christmas, we did not forget to give a big gift to media workers around the world.
This Christmas, because of the news about the boss' divorce, the rumors about the Queen will probably be overshadowed.
…
"Fuck..."
Alan thought to himself that it seemed that the old lady was just announcing the news of Boss Cha's divorce.
But her move far exceeded Allen's expectations.
Rumors can bring her many surprises, but the news of her boss' divorce can cover up everything!
All the "efforts" made by the media these days will be wasted because of this news.
Boss Cha is the real top star of this era, and compared with that rumor, divorce is closer to the lives of ordinary people!
The corresponding influence is also greater!
All day long, all the Queen's children, within a year, were about to get divorced, starting with Princess Anne and ending with Chadwick Boseman...
The entire British royal family spent this year in a whirlwind of activity!
Oh shit……
Alan, who was waiting to see the joke, felt like he had punched cotton. This old lady was so shrewd. She had not responded directly to all the rumors for some time, but now she had responded to all of them with just one piece of news.
This trick of shifting the blame to someone else is really... he even doesn't let his own son go!
Moreover, it is now at the closing ceremony of the House of Lords. So many people have come today, and so many noble lords are present. Even if Boss Cha wants to go back on his word now, he has no chance!
Although theoretically what was said in the House of Lords cannot be disclosed to the public, the matter of investigating the boss is an exception!
Alan, feeling somewhat resentful, turned his head and glanced at Boss Cha, whose expression was extremely unnatural. The unhappiness he had just felt because of the Queen's response suddenly disappeared by more than half.
Let you be indecisive...you are being sold out again, right?
Seeing that Boss Cha was also in trouble, Alan felt much more balanced.
