Looking at Franz Joseph who was gradually walking towards him in the distance, Jerome Bonaparte suddenly had a plan in mind.
"Augusta, let's go!" Jérôme Bonaparte stopped first and said to Augusta with a straight face, and then turned to Yin Elizabeth behind him and said again, "Yin Elizabeth,
Please stay! I will not stay in the Hofburg!"
In the distance, Franz Joseph, Empress Dowager Sophie, Prince Metternich, and Madame Anastasia who were following them immediately showed their faces after hearing Jerome Bonaparte's words.
A panicked expression.
If Emperor Jerome Bonaparte really leaves the Hofburg Palace, then the Austrian Empire may face a serious diplomatic crisis.
After Augusta and Elizabeth heard Jerome Bonaparte's speech, they also began to enter the state of actors. At this time, she played the role of persuading Jerome Bonaparte not to be impulsive and said to him
: "Jérôme, you'd better wait!
I believe Franz will handle this!"
"Yes! My husband will definitely handle it properly!" Queen Elizabeth Yin also helped.
"How to deal with it? How to deal with it?" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Queen Augusta unreasonably: "Do we have to wait until others say they want to drive us out before we leave?
Since the people at the Hofburg don't want us, why should we stay here?
I don’t like being interrogated like a prisoner!”
At this moment, Franz Joseph and Prince Mette both looked at Grand Duchess Sophie.
"Franz, I didn't!" Grand Duchess Sophie shook her head in response, then turned her gaze to Mrs. Anastasi behind her, and asked expressionlessly, "Did you say those things?"
"Your Highness, I really never said that!" Anastasia said to Grand Duchess Sophie in horror.
Now she regretted why she had to stop Emperor Jerome Bonaparte.
And Prince Metternich, who was standing next to Franz Joseph, had now realized what Jerome Bonaparte’s purpose was!
Alas! The Bonaparte family always does things without caring about the consequences!
Prince Metternich sighed slightly in his heart. At this moment, he was a little envious of Queen Elizabeth.
I really don’t know what kind of charm Queen Yin Lisabai has that makes the two emperors fall in love with her.
(Jerome Bonaparte: I’m not! I didn’t!)
However, since Metternich already knows the cause of the problem, he is also capable of solving it!
"Your Majesty! How about I go over first!" Prince Metternich took the initiative to respond to Franz Joseph, "His Majesty Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte is still angry. It would be better for you and Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother not to do it now.
past!"
"Then leave it to you!" Franz Joseph nodded and handed the question to Prince Metternich.
"I will never betray your trust! Your Majesty!" Prince Metternich curtsied to Franz Joseph, and then walked straight forward to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Your Majesty!" Prince Metternich bowed his knee to Jérôme and Bonaparte.
"Mr. Metternich!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly and said to Prince Metternich, "You are here to drive us away on behalf of Franz Joseph, right?"
"Your Majesty, the Hofburg Palace has never been in the habit of turning away guests!" Prince Metternich responded to Jerome Bonaparte, "Especially for such a distinguished guest as you!"
"Then what happened to blocking me out of the door just now and saying that I am qualified to enter the room!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Prince Metternich.
"Your Majesty, that lady didn't know it was you!" Prince Metternich explained immediately.
"But, she said that she was under the orders of His Highness Sophie!" Jérôme Bonaparte said confusingly.
Today he is going to use Anastasia's blood to destroy the authority of Queen Mother Sophie.
"Your Majesty, I think it was Madame Anastasia who made the decision without permission!" Prince Metternich replied to Jerome Bonaparte.
Since Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte insisted on putting the Empress Dowager's cronies to death, Metternich had no choice but to do so.
In Prince Metternich's view, except for the emperor, who could not be sacrificed in the entire Habsburg Empire, anyone could sacrifice for the benefit of the Austrian Empire, even the Queen Mother Sophie.
Not to mention, he was just a confidant of Queen Mother Sophie.
"Go tell Franz Joseph that I don't want to see that lady again!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Prince Metternich forcefully: "If he is still willing to let me stay in the Hofburg Palace
, then ladies cannot stay in the Hofburg Palace.”
"Your Majesty, I will tell our monarch Franz Joseph!" Prince Metternich responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
Then Prince Metternich came to Franz Joseph, and Franz Joseph asked Prince Metternich: What did Jerome Bonaparte say!
"Your Majesty, His Majesty Jérôme Bonaparte said: If we cannot let Madame Anastasia leave the Hofburg Palace forever, then they will leave the Hofburg Palace!" Prince Metternich told Franz
.Joseph said.
After hearing these words, Anastasia immediately realized that she and her husband would become the most unpopular people in Habsburg.
"Mother!" Franz Joseph turned his attention to the Empress Dowager Sophie, and the meaning was self-evident.
At this time, the Empress Dowager Sophie was forced into a corner by Franz Joseph and Jérôme Bonaparte, and she had to abandon this confidant who had followed her for many years.
Otherwise, Jerome Bonaparte would leave the Hofburg Palace.
"Anastasy, go on your own!" Queen Mother Sophie covered her mouth with a folding fan and faced Mrs. Anastasia with her back.
"Your Highness Sophie, take care of yourself!" A sad smile appeared on Mrs. Anastasia's lips. She once again curtsied to Queen Mother Sophie, and then staggered away.
Looking at Anastasia's leaving figure, Metternich couldn't help but feel a trace of compassion in her heart.
Mrs. Anastasia originally just fulfilled her duties, but she was unlucky because she was the confidant of the Queen Mother Sophie.
While this level of identity brought her convenience, it also brought her danger.
However, this danger did not come from Queen Elizabeth, but from Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte who stood up for Queen Elizabeth.
This time not even the Queen Mother Sophie could save her.
"Metternich, go and tell Jerome that my mother has driven away Mrs. Anastasia! There is no place in the entire Hofburg Palace that he cannot go to!" Franz Joseph told Metternich.
The prince gave an instruction.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Prince Metternich came to Jerome Bonaparte again and told Jerome Bonaparte exactly what Jerome Bonaparte said.
Jerome Bonaparte's face immediately showed a smile, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good!"
Then, he lowered his voice and responded to Prince Metternich, "Mr. Metternich, don't forget your agreement with me!"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will definitely abide by the agreement!" Prince Metternich responded helplessly.
Faced with such an emperor who did not follow the routine, Prince Metternich felt a little tired.
Then, led by Prince Metternemé, Jerome Bonaparte came to Franz Joseph.
"My brother, what I just said was a bit impulsive!" Jerome Bonaparte immediately gave Franz Joseph a hug, "I hope what just happened did not cause you any trouble!"
"How could that be possible?" Franz Joseph also responded with a smile, "Anastasy should have been punished for bumping into you!"
He paused for a moment, then turned to the Empress Dowager Sophie and said, "Really! Mother!"
Queen Mother Sophie could only force a smile and respond: "That's right! This is the punishment Anastasia deserves!"
"By the way!" Jérôme Bonaparte asked pretending to be casual, "I found that Princess Sophie's room is far away from your husband and wife's room. What is going on?"
"Because the Hofburg Palace has a professional nursing team, there is no need to live with Franz Joseph and the others!" Queen Mother Sophie replied to Jerome Bonaparte.
"No! This is not possible!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and responded to Franz Joseph, "I once saw the data from a survey at the French Academy of Sciences!
If a child lacks parents when he is young, the child's character will become particularly extreme!
The company of parents cannot be compensated by any team. My son Friedrich is like this. Even if I am busy, I still have to take time to accompany my children.
And Augusta personally took care of Friedrich’s life!”
"Mother, I think we should listen to Jerome!" Franz Joseph said to the Queen Mother Sophie with a smile.
Separating Sophie and Elizabeth Yin was not what Franz Joseph wanted to see, but Franz Joseph could not disobey his mother's wishes.
Now with Jerome Bonaparte as a foreign aid, Franz Joseph can legitimately "take" his daughter back.
Franz Joseph's impression of Jerome Bonaparte changed from negative to positive!
"You can figure it out yourself!" Empress Dowager Sophie responded calmly.
Although Empress Dowager Sophie was a little unwilling in her heart, she still wanted to give face to Franz Joseph and Jerome Bonaparte.
However, the current Empress Dowager Sophie has no intention of staying here.
"Jérôme, I'm a little sleepy! I'm leaving now. I wish you all a good time!" Queen Mother Sophie said goodbye to Jérôme Bonaparte.
