Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- When Emma's maid, Papa, invites the Duke of Orleans to a duel, the doctor's appearance interrupts the tense atmosphere.
"How is Gaston doing?"
The Duke of Orleans ignored Papa for the time being and came to the doctor and asked.
Marie was not too concerned about Gaston's injury. Little Louis XIII, who had been paying attention to this, secretly kept it in mind.
It seems that based on mother¡¯s performance, that idiot good-for-nothing Gaston is not her illegitimate son.
Otherwise, how could my mother be so indifferent.
Rumors are just rumors, and they don¡¯t seem to be credible.
Zhao Hongyu, Emma, ??Sara and Wang Shan have no interest in Gaston's life or death.
After all, it is unforgivable that this idiot dared to take action against Emma.
¡°It would be best if he died. If he didn¡¯t die, Zhao Hongyu and the others wouldn¡¯t mind killing this guy again.
Therefore, we can only say that it was good luck for Gaston to die like this, and it would be his sorrow if he did not die.
Because he is so cowardly that he has no idea what kind of people his actions have offended.
Everyone in the room had different reactions, and Wang Shan observed.
He noticed that the corners of little Louis XIII¡¯s mouth curled up, and Wang Shan took note of this.
Wang Shan could tell from the reaction of little Louis XIII that he was very disgusted with Gaston, the crown prince.
You can take advantage of this.
And Wang Shan also saw Mary's reaction.
That kind of indifference and disgust is not pretended.
Although Mary concealed herself well, she was still discovered by Wang Shan.
As Zhao Hongyu¡¯s personal follower and lackey, Wang Shan is now becoming more and more competent.
¡°Besides, he also single-handedly founded the Imperial Intelligence Department, so he needs to have two brushes to do it.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is disgusted with Gaston and the Duke of Orleans. We can take advantage of it. Queen Mary seems to hate the Duke of Orleans too, but she is not that obvious."
Wang Shan lowered his voice and told Zhao Hongyu his observations.
"Hmm. Is that so? If it is really like this, then it will be good for us. At least we can stand our ground and take advantage of this contradiction between them. By then, even if Orleans and Gaston are killed, It won¡¯t cause any trouble, right?¡±
Zhao Hongyu responded in a low voice.
Wang Shan nodded: "Although we are not afraid of France, it is better to avoid trouble if it can be avoided. I know what should be done, and I will find out."
Marie, little Louis XIII and the Grand Duke of Orleans. Of course, he didn't notice the conversation between Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan, and even d'Artagnan didn't pay attention.
Facing the Duke of Orleans' inquiry, the doctor shook his head: "The injury is very serious, but there is no problem in saving his life. But I want to remind you, Duke, that Gaston may lose one of his male functions."
Although what the doctor said was very vague, how could the Duke of Orleans not know what it meant.
When Gaston was carried to this place, he could already see where the wound was.
It¡¯s just that it¡¯s hard for him to accept this reality.
"Damn American bitch! I accept your duel, time, place, and weapons!"
After learning that his son had become an eunuch, the Duke of Orleans also exploded.
He only has one son, not even an illegitimate son.
Now this son has been abolished. Doesn't it mean that he doesn't even have an heir?
When he dies and passes Orl¨¦ans to Gaston, Gaston will not be able to have an heir.
The huge territory will then become someone else¡¯s. This kind of thing was really unacceptable to him.
Think about it, after struggling all your life only to find that you are fighting for others, this is something that no individual can accept.
Therefore, it was expected that the Duke of Orleans would break out.
Queen Mary looked at the Duke of Orleans, her mind spinning rapidly.
The Duke of Orleans¡¯ territory has always been very large and powerful. It was largely due to this reason that I had such an affair with him. If the Duke of Orleans really dies in the duel, it will be of great benefit to him.
Gaston has become a waste of those who once followed the Duke of Orleans. It is impossible to continue to follow Gaston??.
By then, the territory of the Duke of Orleans will be completely under the control of the royal family.
After obtaining the Dukedom of Orleans, the rights you can control will be enhanced.
After all, in this era, the royal family¡¯s right to speak is often determined by the amount of land it controls.
In many countries, nobles unite and can even overthrow the king.
In Europe, such weird things happen.
Therefore, Mary did not stop the furious Duke of Orleans, and even added fuel to the fire.
¡°I witness this duel in the name of the French royal family, and it will be open and fair!¡±
Well, as soon as Mary opened her mouth, she decided that the Duke of Orleans could not escape the duel. Either he would survive victoriously, or he would be killed by Papa and die in frustration.
But it was clear that Mary had her own plans, and she didn¡¯t want the Duke of Orleans to survive.
The Duke¡¯s territory has a great attraction for her, doesn¡¯t it?
And there are recent rumors that Gaston, this idiot and useless person, is the illegitimate son of himself and the Duke.
Mary was privately angry about this, but she had no explanation.
After all, she still needs the support of the duke to suppress the opponents and nobles in the country.
At the same time, Mary knew that the source of this rumor must be related to the Duke of Orleans.
How could Gaston, this idiot, useless, cowardly, and only thinking with his lower body, be of her Mary bloodline? This is simply an insult.
Now, now there is a good opportunity to get rid of the Duke of Orleans and the annoying Gaston in one fell swoop.
A fair duel, even the Duke¡¯s supporters can¡¯t say anything.
What Mary has to do now is to ensure the 'fairness' of the duel and how to let the Duke die.
"Use a sword to duel, the location is in the manor, the time is pushed back a few days!"
The Duke of Orleans is not an idiot. He feels that since Papa dares to challenge him, she must have her merits. So he has to find out what this is.
And his proposal played into Mary's hands, and she also needed some time.
"I will notify some nobles to come here to witness the duel to ensure the fairness of the duel. I think everyone has no objections, right?"
The Duke of Orleans thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Zhao Hongyu and the others didn¡¯t care.
Even if a circle of troops surrounded them outside, Zhao Hongyu and the others would not be afraid.
Not to mention some nobles.
Little Louis XIII was very excited.
In his heart, he hopes that Papa can kill the Duke of Orleans. As long as the Duke of Orleans dies, Gaston will become a lost dog.
Without the protection of his father and becoming an eunuch, it is obvious that Gaston's life will not be easy.
His mother¡¯s plan started from the moment she spoke to little Louis XIII. I understand a little bit more.
The duke¡¯s territory occupies more than one-third of the land of France.
If it can be controlled by the royal family, the royal family¡¯s power will be greatly increased by then.
"I will also let some nobles come to watch the duel. I think your Royal Highness the Queen and the Crown Prince will not have any objections."
asked the Duke of Orleans.
He hopes to find some nobles who support him to come here to cheer him up and find out what went wrong.
¡°And these nobles will also come with their guards, so if something goes wrong, they will be there to help you.
Zhao Hongyu nodded. He didn't care what the Duke of Orleans was going to do. In his eyes, the Duke of Orleans was already dead.
"Six days later!"
Zhao Hongyu just said a time.
Yes, the current duel conditions are proposed by the Duke of Orleans and Mary. It is Zhao Hongyu's turn to come up with a duel condition.
Six days. The Duke of Orleans and Marie agreed.
Afterwards, Zhao Hongyu led everyone out of the room.
"Papa. Do you have the confidence to kill that old guy?"
After leaving Mary and the others, Zhao Hongyu asked Emma¡¯s little maid.
After all, she was too young, and her duel opponent was a male duke.
¡°Although the Duke of Orleans is already fifty years old, he still can¡¯t take a sneak peek.
Papa nodded when he heard this: "Master Song Hu has trained me for half a year, I canI kill wolves by hand. My previous record was that I killed five wolves by myself. and three adult males. "
Papa¡¯s answer made Zhao Hongyu calm down, and at the same time he understood why Papa had three eagle feathers on his head.
Because according to the customs of all Indians, only warriors who have killed people can wear eagle feathers. The greater the number of eagle feathers, the more respected they are.
And there are three eagle feathers on Papa's head, which means that she has killed three enemies at a young age.
You know, in the American continent in the Cold War Age, it was very difficult to kill more than two people.
If you have fewer people, you can't defeat the enemy. If both sides have more people and horses, you don't know when or where the knife will stab you. This is a very scary thing.
Therefore, Papa¡¯s three eagle feathers also show that she is not as simple as she seems on the surface.
The long-legged beauty Papa seemed to have great potential as a model, but Zhao Hongyu knew that this girl had become a killing machine under Song Hu's special training.
And killing people is a normal thing in America in this era.
Tribal vendettas were a common occurrence before Zhao Hongyu took control of Manhattan.
Therefore, the little girl from Mohawk, Papa, is not afraid of killing people at all.
This is completely different from the modern girls of later generations.
"Don't worry, Papa is very powerful. I've seen her knife skills are very good."
Emma assured Zhao Hongyu.
Even so, Zhao Hongyu felt that it was still not safe.
No matter what, he doesn¡¯t want his own people to get hurt.
"Wang Shan, think of a way. We can't let the Duke of Orleans hurt Papa, and we can't let him survive at the same time."
Wang Shan nodded and took note of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s instructions.
It¡¯s a pity that I don¡¯t have a sniper gun, otherwise I could have killed the Duke silently in the duel.
And a group of mohawk warriors who followed Emma praised Papa repeatedly.
Good job Papa, kill that old man who insulted us and cut off his scalp.
Papa, don¡¯t let that guy die easily, torture him well and make his death more painful.
The girls in Mohawk are not weak, let these white-skinned people see how powerful we are.
Regarding the duel, the Mohican warriors were not worried at all, as if the Duke of Orleans was already dead.
I have to say that the Mohicans are very optimistic.
"You still have six days. We will send someone to inquire about the Duke's swordsmanship and find out his weaknesses. By then you can easily kill him. This is related to the face of our empire and the dignity of Emma. We It has to be treated with caution.¡±
Zhao Hongyu explained to Papa.
Of course Papa understands the seriousness of the matter, so she will not object to Zhao Hongyu's approach.
¡°Originally, I wanted to duel with that guy, but unfortunately Papa got the better of me.¡± Emma pouted at the side.
Zhao Hongyu really didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Emma, ??you are my wife, the queen of the Indians in the area I control. How can you go to duel with a person? If there is something wrong with this, how will I explain it to my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
Emma rolled her eyes: "It is precisely because I am the queen of the Indians that I have to show off the momentum of a queen. Everyone needs a powerful queen, not a decoration. If I can even let go of people who insult me, However, everyone will look down on me, and they will also look down on you."
Emma always has her own reasons.
In this regard, Zhao Hongyu cannot beat her.
"Papa, we must win. I don't want you to get hurt, you know."
No longer paying attention to Zhao Hongyu, Emma looked at her little maid seriously and said to her.
Papa nodded heavily: "My king, don't worry. I will use all my abilities to deal with him. If I hadn't neglected my duty this time, such a thing would not have happened."
After making a promise to Emma, ??Papa thought about what happened because he did not follow Emma, ??and almost caused that damn Gaston to hurt Emma. This made Papa Pa felt a strong sense of guilt.
Emma raised her hand and patted Papa on the shoulder very disapprovingly: "Don't pay attention to this matter. Speaking of which, this matter has nothing to do with you. I didn't let you and other warriors follow me, so if something happens, it will only I can only blame myself."
Yes, Emma knows very well,??I won't let the maids and warriors follow me.
She found it troublesome to have a bunch of people following her, and she felt that she was not very free.
But after what happened this time, Emma also began to look at herself.
She felt that her status was different now, and her every move could not be the same as before.
¡°Now my safety is not only related to my husband, but also to the Mohicans.
So, Emma knew that she could no longer be willful.
Therefore, facing Papa¡¯s self-blame, Emma comforted her. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
