"Then I have to try other styles occasionally, so as not to be bored by our great Majesty~"
Agnes's active and charming performance surprised Agron, but of course he didn't want to make a scene, so he cooperated and made love with his lover for a while.
After the kiss ended, Agnes had a peach-like face and a more charming look in her eyes. "Your Majesty, I like the manor you gave me very much. If you can come here often, then I will like it even more.
"
"Well, this is okay." Aigron nodded, "It's not far away anyway. I will come over to see you from time to time in the future. I also like that place very much."
"Oh, I get angry when I talk about this..." Agnes's face suddenly changed, looking indignant, "I was ready to go back to rest last night, but Edgar, this bastard, made a scene, and I had to
I stayed in the palace and didn't get a good night's sleep."
"If you are tired now, then I can grant you permission to take leave today. You can go back and rest now, Agnes." Aiglon caressed her face with concern, "Although everyone was busy all night last night,
But on the bright side, at least we didn’t suffer any greater losses. Edgar was arrested, everything is calm again, and you have nothing to worry about. You can go back and rest - "
"What you said is true. My brother-in-law was arrested and my sister is in great pain. Does this mean there is nothing to worry about?" Agnes glanced at Agron, "If this matter is not settled, there is nothing I can do about it.
Have rested. So, Your Majesty, I have something to ask you..."
No wonder this little girl is so proactive all of a sudden. It turns out she really has ulterior motives.
However, Agnes is indeed not a person who can play tricks. Her expression and demeanor have long betrayed that she has something else on her mind. How could Agron, who has already understood the world, not see it? It's just because she is a beloved concubine, so
Aigron is very tolerant.
Seeing that she was eager to try but also a little guilty, Aigron couldn't help laughing.
"Hahahaha...Agnes, you are really bad at asking for things, but that's part of your cuteness. Okay, just say what you want, no need to plead, I'll be happy to give it -
"
Although Agnes felt ashamed of the "pampering" she received, she was inevitably a little complacent, so she also laughed. "Your Majesty, what I want is very simple. Please let me participate."
During the investigation of Edgar... I want to find out whether he is an ungrateful traitor. If he is, then I can't wait to kill him with my own hands! If not, then we should give him a clean slate as soon as possible.
Of course I am not doing it for this guy, but for my sister. As Edgar's wife, how much pressure is she under right now? In any case, I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, and it is best not to cause anything to the outside world.
storm……"
Agnes is not good at lying, this is the most "reasonable" reason she can think of, but logically speaking, there is really not much problem, after all, it makes sense.
Aigron suddenly fell into deep thought.
It's not because he doubts Agnes's motives, but because he feels that this matter involves too much, and the fewer insiders the better, and Agnes naturally stands on the side of his sister. If she is involved, I'm afraid
It will be even more detrimental to Edgar.
Seeing that he was silent, Agnes suddenly became a little anxious, so she continued to try to persuade Agron.
"Your Majesty, haven't I participated in your interrogation of my master before? I helped you somewhat, right? And at least it proved that I am not a person who causes trouble for everyone. Since I already have such qualifications, you
What's the problem if you let me participate again? I promise, I won't let you down..."
As she spoke, she looked at Aigron longingly, and then gently shook his arm.
This is a trick she often uses against her father. In the past, as her father's most true love's little daughter, every time she acted like a baby, her father would give in. But now, this kind of acting like a baby is no longer a family joy between father and daughter, but it brings with it
It's a bit flattering.
But no matter what, as a normal man, Aigron will naturally be moved by it.
"Okay, since you want it so much, then of course I'm happy to give it to you..." So, he reached out his hand and gently stroked Agnes's hair, "But before that, I want to give it to you..."
I’m telling you my thoughts so that you won’t cause any trouble.”
"What do you think?" Agnes asked quickly.
"After careful analysis and judgment by Teresa, myself, and Andre, Edgar's suspicion of betraying the party is not serious, at least not serious enough to make us feel like we are facing a formidable enemy," Eggron whispered.
made his decision, "Since he is not a big enemy, then General Treville is certainly not a big enemy. On the contrary, I will continue to support him unequivocally and give him the opportunity to make a difference in his new position."
——So, Agnes, no matter how I investigate, as long as no particularly unfavorable evidence is found, I will handle it this way. This incident must be cooled down and cannot be used as an excuse for the outside world to attack me and the Treville family... I understand.
?"
Agron spoke calmly, but Agnes was dumbfounded.
Even if she had no political sense, she could fully understand that His Majesty planned to suppress the storm and continue to support the Marquis of Treville.
Sister, sister, you have tried all your tricks and thought you could kill Treville and his son in one go. You even made plans to die together. Moreover, you have indeed reached the limit of what you can do... However, in just a short time,
Overnight, you suddenly lose everything, and you don’t even have a chance to recover!
She couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart and felt sorry for her sister.
It's not that my sister is not smart enough, or that her methods are not ruthless, it's that she has been a boudoir since she was a child, and after she got married, she lived in a small place such as a house and a palace. Even though she tried her best, she still looked down on the people outside.
Logically speaking, after encountering this matter, His Majesty should have called General Treville back for detailed interrogation with the mentality of "not trusting him", but "power" can ignore "logic".
Although she wanted to help her sister, Agnes knew that she could not save the situation because she had no idea how she could overthrow His Majesty himself and Queen Theresa's opinions. This could not be done by "arguing with reason"
things, because they are "reasons".
She even knew that if she continued to "fight with reason", His Majesty might soon suspect her, and even her last hope would be gone.
Therefore, she can only accept the established fact.
And this means that his sister is in danger. Edgar doesn't care about it for now, but with Marquis Treville's skills and character, after being done like this once, he will definitely try his best to get revenge, and at this time, if he
After finding out that it was his daughter-in-law who secretly stabbed Alice in the back, how could he possibly forgive Alice?
At that time, I'm afraid there will be another fierce fight, and this time my sister will be at an absolute disadvantage, because no matter what, the general is her father-in-law in name only, and he has a natural advantage.
Therefore, all she can do now is to try her best to protect her sister.
Even if her sister's plan has turned into a pile of rubble, she can't just sit back and let her sister fall into a more tragic end.
She doesn't have so much scheming and brains, but she has a passion and the will to never admit defeat. She must protect her sister and prevent her from becoming a victim of fate again.
"What are you thinking about, Agnes?" Seeing Agnes in a daze, Agron couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, Your Majesty!" Agnes suddenly woke up, "I'm just... I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect you to be so tolerant. However, it's okay. After all, no one will be harmed by this.
, the face of the Treville family has also been saved..."
Although she had a happy look on her face, she was already extremely depressed in her heart.
She also had to tell her sister this news. It was conceivable that her sister would be ten times more depressed than she was.
"By the way, did you go see Mrs. Alice last night? How is she now?" Aigron asked.
"She's okay... okay, she just suffered a severe mental shock and is still a little shaken up." Agnes quickly replied, "After all, at this time, suddenly encountering such bad news, no matter how strong a person is, it would be unbearable.
…”
"Yes, I can completely understand Madam's mood." Aigron nodded, "However, since it was she who reported Edgar and she produced the physical evidence, in order to find out the truth as soon as possible, I'm afraid her cooperation is also needed.
Let’s investigate——”
"Investigating her now? That would be too cruel. She has just suffered such a serious blow, how can she withstand severe interrogation?" Agnes became anxious upon hearing this and quickly defended her sister. "Your Majesty,
Still… let’s be a little more lenient with her.”
Although Agnes's words were a bit strong, it was somewhat reasonable.
Agron was right. As Agnes's sister, as his couple's favorite, and as a "victim", he had to give people some dignity.
"Of course, we have seen her loyalty and diligence all along, and we are deeply grateful for it. Therefore, it is indeed too harsh to directly let her be interrogated like Edgar, so... Agni
Si, I’ll leave it to you, go and ask her everything, and then give us an answer.”
"Okay, Your Majesty! Thank you, thank you so much!" Seeing Aiglon being so kind, Agnes breathed a sigh of relief, and she was full of gratitude to him. "You are really good to me.
…”
"Silly girl, isn't this the way it should be? Who made me like you?" Aigron replied with a smile.
The reason why he was so magnanimous to Agnes was, on the one hand, because he liked this lover, and on the other hand, he did not believe that Agnes would be harmful to him.
In fact, he had vague speculations before, thinking that Alice's behavior was a bit suspicious, but since he had set the tone of "no expansion" and "no investigation", there was no need for him to be too poor on Alice.
Reluctant to chase.
What he needs to do now is to give the outside world a reasonable explanation, and at the same time appease the Marquis of Treville, who will definitely be in chaos, and let him continue to work hard for him - this is the most important thing.
After the most important things are resolved, other less important things can be discussed in the long run or put aside.
"Agnes, after going through so many things, your sister may need to rest for a while, so I gave her a holiday. During this time, she can live with you in the manor to recover. After she recovers,
, then return to your original position." After the explanation, Agron warned Agnes, "As for Edgar... Regardless of whether he is against the party or not, he at least did something against my will.
things, so he is destined to receive some punishment, it’s just a matter of severity..."
"Well, okay!" Agnes nodded in agreement.
Anyway, she only cares about her sister. As for the bad brother-in-law who makes her hate her so much, she wishes he would continue to be in bad luck, so she won't say a word of love.
And at this time, it was time for Agnes to say goodbye.
Although she got the "bad news" for the first time today, at least she gained something. She brought her sister under her protection and did not let her undergo severe cross-examination and investigation. This can be regarded as a great blessing among misfortunes.
.
Right now, she just wants to return to her sister as soon as possible and tell her the progress of the incident.
And just when she was saying goodbye to Aigron, Aigron spoke again.
"Agnes, Mrs. Alice has always been diligent and conscientious in her work, and she is of noble birth. It is difficult to find a lady in the palace who has both advantages at the same time. Teresa and I both trust her and rely on her. This happened.
This kind of incident makes each of us regret it, and I sympathize with her more than anyone else. If she has any troubles, you can tell me, and I will do my best to repay her previous loyalty and kindness.
diligence."
"Well, I understand!" Agnes was a little confused, but she nodded and agreed, then turned and left the study.
Then, Agnes returned to her sister, and then told her sister his Majesty's initial decision.
Sure enough, after hearing this "bad news", Alice's face suddenly lost all color.
All the calculations, all the planning, all the courage finally resulted in such a result, and she immediately felt endless regret and absurdity.
After a moment of confusion, she finally endured the pain and asked her sister again.
"What else does your Majesty say?"
"He said that he sympathizes with your mood, so he can give you a holiday recently and let you go to my house for a vacation and rest together." Agnes replied.
Agnes didn't know the situation, but Alice understood it all at once - wasn't this just being driven away?
No...I can't lose all this, I must come back!
She has lost so many things. Her position in the palace and the power to control everything are the only things left in her life. Even if His Majesty is merciful and does not pursue her crime of "framing her husband", she cannot accept the loss of everything.
, the result of being forced to hide in the manor to "recuperate" would probably be more uncomfortable than death.
"Your Majesty also said that you can tell him if you have any difficulties. Considering your past achievements, he will be happy to help you..." At this time, Agnes continued to talk carelessly. "In short, Your Majesty has already told you
You are so kind, sister, we all have to thank him!"
And Alice quietly understood.
"Your Majesty, you are really merciful -" she sighed bitterly. "Okay, let's go, Agnes, I really need to take a rest, I'm too tired."
