Chapter 317 The Road Home (Fourth update, please subscribe)
The princess is missing!
Although the royal family has not announced it to the outside world, the British media has received some news in the past year and a half. Although the news was not confirmed, it still made the news in some newspapers.
What then?
The royal family has not given a direct answer.
However, Margaret has never appeared in public, so that in the past few days, the whereabouts of Princess Margaret have attracted the attention of the outside world.
Margaret, my poor Margaret!
Only God knows what kind of life King George VI has spent in the past year and a half. From the day he was forced to become the King of England, his attitude towards his two daughters and children , he was completely different. The eldest daughter got the throne, while the younger daughter got his favor. By George VI's side, the younger daughter could get the best love, without worrying about other people's eyes, and without becoming a foil to her elder sister.
However, his little daughter, whom he regarded as a treasure, disappeared.
There was no news from her for a whole year and a half. As her father, George VI, he was desperate and had even given up hope. However, on the advice of the Prime Minister, the news of the princess's disappearance was concealed.
After all, the princess disappeared on the day she was celebrating Victory Day.
After all, there is no evidence that the princess suffered an accident.
So... investigate.
But they have turned London, and even the whole of Britain, upside down. Not even a shadow of the princess was seen.
Just a month ago, the desperate George VI had even decided to accept reality - the reality of Margaret's misfortune.
"My poor child, I just want to know where she is buried!"
Perhaps God heard George VI's prayer - a parcel sent by the Governor of Singapore gave him hope .
“It’s Margaret! Yes, it’s my child!”
The Margaret in the photo is extremely beautiful, just like the angel that George VI dreamed of day and night. , she is always the most beautiful and the best gift God gave him.
“God bless her, she is still alive!”
There is not just one photo, there are dozens of other photos, including when she was studying in North Africa, and when she was working in a hospital in Borneo. Of course, after becoming the First Lady of Borneo, she attended various events. Photos from the event. Looking at his daughter in the photo, George VI simply ignored the fact that his daughter was pregnant and had given birth to a child.
He only cares about one question now - whether Lily Marlene is Margaret.
The answer is yes, after all, as a father, he can tell at a glance that the woman in the photo is his daughter!
“She is our daughter!”
Putting down the photo, George VI said to the queen.
"God bless, she is still alive, but...why did she lose her memory? I must go there, go there to see our daughter..."
At this time, George VI is no longer He is a king, but he is a maniac about doting on girls. In fact, in the past ten years, his little daughter has been growing up in his thousands of favors. His unconditional doting has even made her a little spoiled. Not a little bit, but a fact. In fact, Margaret was spoiled by him.
"Your Majesty, Attlee will definitely not agree, and we need to find someone to verify her identity first."
Compared to George VI who was endlessly doting on his daughter, the Queen She was calm. She not only mentioned that her identity needed to be verified, but also mentioned one of the most critical issues.
"If Lily Marlene is really Margaret, then, Your Majesty, where are her husband and children? She is already married, and she is an Asian! Congress and the church may agree This marriage? ”
Compared to the excitement of the king, the queen seemed very calm. After all, during the war, as a queen, she was once called the "most dangerous woman" in Europe by Hitler. This evaluation is definitely not unfounded.
“We must consider reality, Your Majesty, don’t forget your brother, why did he give up the throne!”
Why did Edward VII give up the throne?
Isn’t it just because I married a divorced woman?
Then he became the Emperor of the British Empire.
Now, what about my daughter’s marriage?
George VI thought for a while and then said.
"No matter what, she is my daughter, my daughter!"
George VI shouted excitedly, and at this time he seemed to have stopped stuttering!
“No one in this world can change this. Mary, she... our beloved little daughter, she may not have a crown, but she should have her own happiness! If she really loves Him! No matter what!”
As a father, George is stubborn, but as a king, he must make corresponding sacrifices. Finally, under the Queen's persuasion, George VI gave up his plan to go to Borneo, and instead sent someone to confirm Lily's identity first.
Just when George VI sent someone to confirm Lily's identity, the London investigation team had also re-investigated the incident based on the description of Sir Johnson, the Governor of Singapore.
Because Lily mentioned to Sir Jason that she woke up in the airport hospital in Tunisia, they investigated based on clues and investigated all the cars that had been to the air force base that night and The soldier finally got a shocking news - there was indeed a girl who looked similar to the princess who took the soldiers' car to the airport. The drunk girl even danced Lindy with the soldiers in the airport bar. Dance, and then said he wanted to see the bombers, and then... "...Then he didn't see her. The air force soldier only vaguely remembered that he had taken the girl on the plane, and after he got off the plane, he was so drunk that he couldn't wake up. He even fell directly from the ladder. When he woke up, the plane had already taken off. "
Compared with the investigators' report, King George VI. There was a happy smile on his face, and there was a photo in his hand - a photo of Margaret dancing the Lindy Hop with the soldiers, which was taken by a soldier.
Apparently, Lily is Margaret, she just lost her memory.
Thinking of this and looking at the investigators in front of him, George VI just felt that these people were pigs! Haven't they investigated the military camp?
In fact... they investigated, it was just a symbolic investigation. After all, from the beginning, everyone thought it was... a kidnapping! Rather than such "active disappearance".
A series of coincidences caused the princess to disappear for nearly a year and a half. This also led to them not being able to find the whereabouts of the princess for the third time in the UK - the princess was not in the UK at all, how could they find it?
“Can people lose their memory?”
asked King George VI.
"Your Majesty, medically speaking, it is indeed possible."
"Is recovery possible?"
"If the princess lives in a place she is familiar with, It is entirely possible to return to normal by being able to contact people she is familiar with.”
……
A C54 transport plane took off from the Delhi airport. The Duchess Mountbatten was sitting on the plane. On the plane were not only the Duchess, but also the lady-in-waiting from the White King Khan Palace who was familiar with the princess, and of course the doctor.
They came here to confirm the identity of the princess. What if it’s really just the similarities in appearance?
"Lily Marlene...she is my wife!"
Facing the visiting Lady Mountbatten, Li Yian said directly.
"Whether she is Margaret or Lily, none of this will change."
"Yes, Your Majesty, there will be no change in this."
Mrs. Mountbatten did not call Li Nian the president, but used his other title - King of Sarawak.
This is also what George VI requested. As a doting lover, he has already made a choice. If his daughter really loves that guy, he will overcome all difficulties to make it happen. On the contrary...
"Duchess, Lily is waiting for you in the living room."
Li Yian stood up and pointed to another room, and then he walked outside to the back garden, holding a cigar. After he lit the cigar, he took a puff and considered the many possibilities in his mind.
In fact, this is a gamble.
The bet is whether George VI's love for his daughter can transcend the obstacles of the world. The bet is... the British people who are in a shortage of materials after the war are yearning for a beautiful love story.
When meeting Lady Mountbatten and his party, Margaret suppressed her true thoughts and looked at them and said.
"We...seem to have met somewhere."
With just one glance, the female officer following the duchess had already determined her identity - she was Margaret.
The Duchess also confirmed her identity in an instant. Sometimes people have an intuition.
“Your Highness the Princess!”
Facing the people who were saluting, Margaret said doubtfully.
"Am I a princess? I don't know, I don't even know what my name is...after falling from the plane."
A story that was made up a long time ago, The story that has been refined many times is once again told from Margaret's mouth without any loopholes. Everything has been her experience since she became a nurse.
"...Then, I married him."
While speaking, Margaret raised the corners of her mouth lightly, and her face was filled with happiness.
"Then do you love him?"
Faced with such a question, Margaret asked.
"What are you talking about, madam."
