"I won't leave. In such a dangerous time, as your wife, I need to stand with you and face it."
When Emma heard that Zhao Hongyu said that she, Sarah and the widows of the Samuel family were to be sent to the battleship in Marseille Port, she immediately disagreed.
Sarah was also a little reluctant.
In the eyes of two women, one large and one young, Zhao Hongyu is their husband, and they are also his wives.
At such an important juncture, how could they just leave him.
However, no matter how reluctant they were, they could not defeat Zhao Hongyu in the end.
After all the hard talk, Zhao Hongyu finally managed to get the two of them through their ideological work.
Afterwards, Zhao Hongyu left Emma¡¯s side and went to Mary¡¯s side.
When Zhao Hongyu arrived at Mary¡¯s place, little Louis XIII happened to be learning sonnets at his mother¡¯s place.
When he and Mary saw that it was Zhao Hongyu who came to visit late at night, they couldn't help but feel strange and a little happy at the same time.
"His Royal Highness, why do you have time to come to our place tonight?"
Little Louis XIII stood up enthusiastically.
Mary nodded to Zhao Hongyu. She knew that there must be something wrong with Zhao Hongyu coming so late.
¡°Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have come so late.
Although Mary is confident about her appearance, she is not a nymphomaniac who thinks that Zhao Hongyu is interested in her.
"Your Highness the Queen, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I just received some bad news from my subordinates. Several small troops appeared in the north of our manor. They gathered together and were stationed there. I guess these people , most likely they are all from the Duke of Orleans.¡±
The expression on Mary's face changed, but it quickly disappeared.
She couldn¡¯t understand the meaning of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words very clearly.
¡°But little Louis XIII didn¡¯t know this, so he looked very curious.
"What did the Duke of Orleans do with his troops? Could it be that they came for a duel?"
Unlike little Louis XIII, his guard captain d'Artagnan frowned together.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you understand what I mean. I want to know clearly how your preparations are going? Now that the Duke of Orleans is unruly and wants to do some dirty tricks, he has to take action in advance."
Zhao Hongyu was not too verbose, but directly faced Mary and expressed his thoughts.
Hearing this, Mary said to Zhao Hongyu: "My people will go to the territory of the Archduke of Orleans tomorrow and use some excuses to arrest and control his supporters and the nobles."
Zhao Hongyu nodded, all Mary had to do was take action.
So, what he has to do is to trap the Duke of Orleans here, or kill him directly.
At the same time, those who followed his name and came to station three miles away from the manor will be fine after they are all dealt with.
"Queen Mary, how many people do you have here?"
Zhao Hongyu asked after thinking for a while.
Mary turned her eyes to d'Artagnan.
Seeing Mary turn her attention to him, d'Artagnan quickly replied: "A team of thirty-five musketeers."
"From today on, you must protect the Queen and the Crown Prince at all times. We must ensure that you and the Crown Prince cannot be harmed. As for the Duke of Orleans, leave it to me to deal with it."
Zhao Hongyu said to Mary.
"How many people have the Duke of Orleans summoned?" Mary asked with a not-so-good look on her face.
Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "I just sent someone to investigate, but I don't have an accurate number yet. But according to my judgment, there should be no less than a thousand people."
The expressions of Marie and d'Artagnan became even more ugly.
¡°Obviously, the Duke of Orleans had absolutely bad intentions in letting so many people come.
Little Louis XIII now also heard a little bit of a problem.
"Mother, does the Grand Duke of Orleans want to do harm to us?"
Hearing this, Marie raised her hand and put it on little Louis XIII's shoulder, but did not answer the question.
Sometimes, not answering is the best answer.
"I have 800 elite guards here. I can easily deal with the Duke of Orleans's troops. The Queen and Your Highness don't have to worry too much about this. The army of our Song Empire is very strong."
Although Zhao Hongyu has great confidence in the Army of the Song Empire, this does not mean that Mary and XiaoThe same goes for Yi XIII.
After all, in the current European concept, numerical superiority is still the final consideration of victory or defeat.
"I will launch an attack on those people tomorrow night, but you'd better not show any signs and don't alert the Duke of Orleans. We have to hold the duel the day after tomorrow as scheduled, and then kill him legally."
Zhao Hongyu told Mary his plan.
The development of things now is no longer under Mary¡¯s control.
At least, Mary has no say in the manor.
Who allowed Zhao Hongyu to have more soldiers?
Therefore, Mary could only follow Zhao Hongyu¡¯s arrangement.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, why do we need to go to so much trouble? In fact, when we take action tomorrow night, we can kill the Grand Duke of Orleans. Then my mother and I can fully testify that the Grand Duke of Orleans died in a duel, right?"
At this time, little Louis XIII made a suggestion.
In the view of little Louis XIII, Zhao Hongyu's insistence on killing the Duke of Orleans in a duel was completely unnecessary.
Since the Grand Duke of Orleans has to die anyway, it would be better to just kill him tomorrow.
And he and his mother Mary can completely come up with a false conclusion.
There are no outsiders here anyway, so it¡¯s not all them who have the final say.
It¡¯s just a pity that little Louis XIII doesn¡¯t understand such troublesome issues.
¡°If it wasn¡¯t for his mother¡¯s need to be considered, why would Zhao Hongyu have to wait until tomorrow? He could have taken action a few days ago.
"Little Louis, you don't understand. The reason why the Crown Prince did this is to keep me out of the matter without being criticized. We have inherited a large favor from him, because I want to seize the property belonging to the Grand Duke of Orleans for the royal family and you." Territory, so the Grand Duke of Orleans must die legally, and other nobles must be present when he dies."
Marie explained to little Louis XIII.
At this point, little Louis XIII understood the problem.
Dare to love, the crown prince from the Americas, I don't know when it has reached an agreement with her mother.
"I estimate that nobles will arrive at the manor during the day tomorrow. These nobles will witness the duel of the Duke of Orleans. Then we can kill him in the duel, so no one can say anything. And if they want to hate , just hate me, if you want revenge you can let them come to America, right?"
Zhao Hongyu turned his head and gestured to Mary.
"His Royal Highness, are you really sure you can deal with the troops summoned by the Duke of Orleans? Although the time is short, he will not summon too many troops until his troops arrive, but I think those stationed three miles away must not It will be less.¡±
D¡¯Artagnan spoke to Zhao Hongyu at this time.
"Besides trusting me, what else can you do?"
Zhao Hongyu asked back.
"D'Artagnan, we must believe in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We are among the Duke of Orleans' current goals."
Mary glanced at d'Artagnan and said.
Yes, Mary has received exact information about the Duke of Orleans¡¯ plans through her own channels.
She knew very well what the Duke of Orleans was planning now.
It is precisely because she knows that she can only trust Zhao Hongyu now.
"From now on, everyone should keep their secrets. Just leave everything else to me. When the duel starts the day after tomorrow, you will all receive good news."
After telling Mary about the current situation, Zhao Hongyu turned around and left.
But he was suddenly stopped by Mary.
"Please wait a moment!"
Zhao Hongyu stopped and turned around to look at Mary.
"What's the matter, Queen?"
Marie walked over calmly, turning her back to little Louis XIII and d'Artagnan and lowering her voice.
"To make sure there won't be any problems, I have a bottle of potion here for you. If you have a chance, you can mix the potion into the Duke of Orleans' food. This will ensure that he will die in the duel."
Mary took out a small bottle containing blue potion from the slit of her vagina, and then stuffed it into Zhao Hongyu's hand.
Well!
What a strong perfume smell.
As soon as the bottle was taken out, a pungent smell of perfume rushed into it.?In Zhao Hongyu¡¯s nostrils.
The French don¡¯t like to take baths, but they like to spray perfume to cover up their body odor.
I wonder if Queen Mary is like this too.
Smelling the perfume, Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but have random thoughts.
But Mary didn¡¯t see what the ¡®young man¡¯ standing in front of her was thinking.
She looked at Zhao Hongyu seriously: "I leave everything to you."
Zhao Hongyu put away his random thoughts and became serious and nodded to Mary.
"Again, leave everything to me. There is no problem for me to deal with the Duke of Orleans. What you have to do is to stabilize him and make him think that he has a chance to win while also protecting you and little Louis. As long as nothing happens to you, then nothing will happen to me."
Facing Zhao Hongyu, who asked her extremely seriously, Mary nodded solemnly and agreed.
"After this matter is resolved, as long as your funds are in place, I will immediately organize an army to go to the Spanish border."
As for Mary, the only thing she can repay Zhao Hongyu for now is that Zhao Hongyu hopes to cooperate with her.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu smiled at Mary: "We will discuss this matter after the Duke of Orleans is resolved. I have great confidence in our cooperation."
Afterwards, Zhao Hongyu put the blue potion that Mary gave him into his pocket, then turned and left.
When Zhao Hongyu left, d'Artagnan walked to Mary's side with a serious face and asked respectfully and quietly: "Her Royal Highness, what should we do now? Should we leave here immediately to avoid any unexpected events?"
To be honest, d'Artagnan didn't want Marie and little Louis to stay any longer.
It can be heard from the conversation between her and Zhao Hongyu that the Duke of Orleans summoned a group of people to come to harm the crown prince of America.
At the same time, those who happen to be on hand will also pose a threat to Mary and little Louis.
Therefore, as the captain of the guard, the first thing that d'Artagnan thought of was that he must take Marie and little Louis away from this dangerous place.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what d'Artagnan said, Mary immediately glared at him and shook her head.
"No! We can't leave here. I don't want the world to think I'm weak. And after we leave, the Duke of Orleans will be alert, and things will become more complicated and difficult to control."
"Your Highness, the Duke of Orleans is obviously here for the Americans. It is very unwise for us to get involved. You must know that the Duke of Orleans is very powerful. If he does not do well, we will get into trouble."
D'Artagnan is not quite sure of the key issue here. He is only looking at the whole thing from the perspective of his guard captain.
Therefore, he believed that it was the best choice for Mary and little Louis to leave the manor and stay away from the right and wrong here.
In fact, how did he know that the current situation and opportunity were very rare for Mary. If this opportunity is missed, God knows whether there will be such an opportunity in the future to solve the problem of Duke Orleans.
After all, no one can say anything about killing the Duke of Orleans in a fair duel.
At the same time, the person who did it was an American and had nothing to do with Mary.
Is it possible for her to give up this opportunity and hire assassins and killers after she breaks up with the Duke of Orleans?
¡°Besides, Mary herself doesn¡¯t know what the situation will be like in the future.
Maybe there won¡¯t be such a good opportunity now.
And it¡¯s not necessarily certain that she and little Louis will be killed by the Duke of Orleans.
After all, here in France, the Duke of Orleans is much more powerful than the royal family.
"I have prepared everything. The American is a sharp knife. What is even more rare is that the American crown prince knew that he had made the knife, but he was still willing to help me deal with the Duke of Orleans. I will never find such a sharp knife again. Good opportunity.¡±
Seeing that d'Artagnan was very puzzled, Marie explained to him.
"And the Duke of Orleans is getting more and more ambitious, and I can no longer control him. Rather than letting him become stronger to deal with us, it is better to take this opportunity to deal with him. And the Americans take action, and those nobles who follow the Duke of Orleans You guys, if you think about it, you won¡¯t point the finger at us, right?¡±
"Tomorrow morning the Guards will begin to secretly arrest some die-hard supporters of the Duke of Orleans and imprison them all. Only the day after tomorrowOnce the Duke of Orleans dies, Baron Chenco's army will enter the Duke of Orleans' territory, so I must secure the Duke of Orleans here in the manor so that he cannot detect anything. "
Little Louis XIII on the side was very excited as he listened to what his mother and d'Artagnan said.
¡°Aha, mother is finally going to break up with Orleans!
Very good! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
