"Mr. Ismail, could you please tell me truthfully why you can't wait to meet me!"
Jérôme Bonaparte's too straightforward opening made Ismail unable to resist.
Ismael had deduced many scenarios in his head for the two people to meet, but he never expected that Jerome Bonaparte would open the meeting so bluntly.
If it was a general diplomatic meeting, Jérôme Bonaparte should have had a fair chat with him and then tentatively asked him about his purpose, and then Ismail would have responded to Jérôme in the same tentative way.
· Bonaparte.
If the two parties reach a certain degree of cooperation through mutual testing, or if the two parties find that they cannot continue to cooperate during mutual testing, both parties will stop it in order to affect the friendship between the two parties.
Who would have thought that Jérôme Bonaparte would directly ask Ismail about the purpose of arriving at the Palace of Fontainebleau. This made Ismail not sure whether to express his own purpose in the same concise language.
Rom Bonaparte listens.
Seeing Ismael's hesitant expression, Jérôme Bonaparte immediately decided to continue to put pressure on Ismael. He was physically and mentally exhausted and did not want to chat with a Riddler.
Furthermore, Ismail's value also determined that Jérôme Bonaparte would not use riddles to find out his purpose.
"Mr. Ismail!" Jérôme Bonaparte's expression gradually became serious. He pointed at the door of the study and said coldly to Ismail, "If you arrive at the Palace of Fontainebleau, just
If you want to look at me silently like this, please leave here immediately!
I’ve been tired all day and now I just want to rest early!”
Under Jerome Bonaparte's forceful order to expel the guest, Ismael suddenly panicked. He hurriedly said to Jerome Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for disturbing you when you need rest most."
You! I..."
Before Ismail could finish his apology, Jérôme Bonaparte showed an impatient expression on his face and forcibly interrupted Ismail, saying, "Mr. Ismail, the reason why I am willing to sit here is
Here, I don’t want to hear you say some boring remarks to me, but because you have been waiting for me at the Palace of Fontainebleau all day today!
I sit here out of hospitality!
If you have been unwilling to tell the purpose of your arrival at the Palace of Fontainebleau, then I think there is no need to continue our conversation!"
After saying this, Jerome Bonaparte shouted towards the door of the room again, "Squire!"
After hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's call, the attendant guarding the emperor's gate quickly opened the door to the study and entered, loudly saying, "Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!" Ismail subconsciously stood up and grabbed Jerome Bonaparte's hand, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
The attendant standing at the door of the room saw Ismail moving his hands and thought that Ismail wanted to assassinate him, so he suddenly became nervous.
Jérôme Bonaparte, whose hand was grabbed by Ismail, still maintained a cold attitude and asked Ismail, "Mr. Ismail, what are you doing? Are you here to assassinate me?"
Of?"
After hearing Jerome Bonaparte's question, Ismail was immediately confused. The hand that originally held Jerome Bonaparte quickly let go, and then he shook his head desperately and said, "No! No!
"
At this moment, the attendants who were standing at the door of the room seized the opportunity. They ran up behind Ismail and pushed Ismail down on the table with lightning speed.
"Your Majesty! Please listen to my explanation!"
Ismail, who was being held down, yelled and tried to get up from the desk.
However, Ismail's strength was still no match for the well-trained attendants, and no matter how hard he struggled, the attendants pinned him down on the table.
Jérôme Bonaparte remained silent the whole time, just watching with cold eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the attendant asked Jérôme Bonaparte if he wanted to shoot the "outlaw" who tried to assassinate the emperor on the spot.
Jerome Bonaparte glanced at Ismail, who was pressed unable to move, shook his head and responded, "No need! He is the nephew of Said, the governor of Egypt, and he is also the successor to the governor of Egypt.
Killing him hastily might cause a diplomatic crisis between Egypt and the French Empire!
Let’s throw him out of the Palace of Fontainebleau!”
"Yes! Your Majesty!" the two attendants replied to Jérôme Bonaparte, and then one of them grabbed one of Ismail's arms and forced Ismail to the study.
Ismail, who was pressed down by the two attendants, understood that if he was escorted out in this manner, he would never be able to enter the upper class society of the French Empire again in his life.
Everyone will know that he is a person who was expelled from the Palace of Fontainebleau, and they will subconsciously distance themselves from him.
And his uncle Said, who is far away in Egypt, would be ecstatic if he knew about it.
In this way, Said abolished Ismail's inheritance rights as the governor of Egypt on the grounds of "causing conflicts between France and Egypt".
Ismail struggled desperately at the thought of being disinherited and shouted at Jérôme Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, please give me a minute!
I am willing to tell you everything!"
"Let go!" Jérôme Bonaparte said calmly to the attendant who detained Ismail.
"But, Your Majesty! This guy..."
The attendant was a little afraid that Ismail would hurt the emperor. After all, Ismail's action just now was very dangerous.
"Let go!" Jérôme Bonaparte repeated again, and then added, "I think Mr. Ismail should understand his situation, he is not an impulsive person!
I was right, Ismail!"
At this time, Ismail had already been completely wiped out by Jerome Bonaparte's manipulations. Now he just wanted to tell Jerome Bonaparte his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, I swear to you in the name of Allah, I have never had the slightest thought of harming you from beginning to end!" Ismail replied to Jerome Bonaparte with a sincere expression.
The two attendants finally obeyed Jérôme Bonaparte's order and released Ismael, but their eyes were still full of vigilance, as if they were looking at a criminal.
Ismael, who had regained his freedom, breathed a long sigh of relief and then continued to ask Jerome Bonaparte to speak alone.
"Get out!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered the two attendants again.
"Your Majesty, your safety!" The attendant was still a little scared.
"I said, get out!" Jerome Bonaparte frowned and said in a serious tone.
The two attendants had no choice but to leave the study and gently closed the door.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting on the chair in the study, smiled again as if he had changed his face in a Sichuan opera. He pointed to the empty seat opposite and said to Ismail, "Mr. Ismail, please sit down!"
Ismail sat opposite Jerome Bonaparte again. This time he did not intend to continue to act as the Riddler, but directly told Jerome Bonaparte that he wanted to go to Algeria.
Served in the French Foreign Legion.
Jerome Bonaparte had a look of surprise on his face. He really couldn't understand that Ismail, a dignified "prince" of Egypt, wanted to serve in the French army.
"Ismael, why do you want to serve in the French Foreign Legion!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Ismael.
Before Ismael could speak, Jérôme Bonaparte preemptively warned, "Don't say anything like admiring the French army. I need to know what you really think!"
Ismail smiled bitterly and told Jerome Bonaparte that the reason why he wanted to serve in the French Foreign Legion was to avoid the persecution of his uncle Said.
"My uncle can no longer tolerate my existence. In order to protect his own rights, he deprived me of all my rights in Egypt and expelled me from Cairo!
Your Majesty, you should understand that an heir without any rights is like a fish on the chopping board and can only be left to his own devices!" Ismail said sincerely to Jerome Bonaparte, "In addition,
My uncle was able to succeed the governor of Egypt because my cousin Abbas was assassinated!"
Having said this, Ismail glanced at Jerome Bonaparte's expression subconsciously, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Ismail knew that the French Empire and the British Kingdom were behind his uncle Said's successful succession as governor of Egypt. He even speculated that there must be shadows from Britain and France behind the assassination.
Now Ismael's sudden assassination was tantamount to revealing to Jerome Bonaparte that he knew part of the inside story of the assassination.
If Jerome Bonaparte was unwilling to help him, then he would consider going to the Ottoman Empire for political asylum.
"Alas! The death of Governor Abbas was just an accident. This is a fact recognized by Britain and France!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Ismail righteously, "Mr. Ismail
, I don’t know why you want to connect the death of Governor Abbas with Governor Said. The two have no relationship at all!
It’s better not to believe such flamboyant things!”
Hearing these words of Jerome Bonaparte, Ismail's heart felt as if it had fallen into an abyss.
"Your Majesty, I understand!" Ismail said bitterly to Jerome Bonaparte.
"But..." Jérôme Bonaparte changed the subject and then said to Ismail, "Since Mr. Ismail graduated from the Strasbourg Staff College, he can be regarded as half a French soldier.
On behalf of the French Army, I welcome Mr. Ismail to join us!"
Ismail's eyes lit up, and he understood that he could obtain asylum in France.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your generosity! If I am lucky enough to become the ruler of Egypt, I will do my best to serve you!" Ismail said excitedly to Jerome Bonaparte.
"I look forward to your becoming the ruler of Egypt!"
