As time passed, the Palace of Fontainebleau ushered in another ordinary afternoon in early spring.
The afterglow of dusk fell on the palace and gardens of the Palace of Fontainebleau, making the palace more beautiful than usual.
Bathed in this golden light, Her Majesty Queen Theresa, surrounded by maids, came to the palace where her husband, Emperor Napoleon II, "rested and recuperated".
Since His Majesty the Emperor suffered a sudden stroke on the night of the wedding anniversary celebrations, Empress Teresa had to fulfill her duties as regent and personally take charge of state affairs.
The news that His Majesty the Emperor had suffered a stroke instantly caused a sensation throughout the country, and rumors spread almost immediately. Some claimed that he was assassinated by royalists and was seriously injured; some said that the young and romantic emperor was extravagant, even on his wedding anniversary.
Many beauties were lucky enough to get their "retribution" in bed; some people believe that Her Majesty the Queen colluded with some of her confidants to launch a coup, hoping to allow the Austrians to monopolize the power of the country.
When the whole country was in panic, these ridiculous rumors spread at an extremely fast speed. The supporters of the empire sighed, but the enemies of the empire secretly rejoiced. They naturally believed that this was an attempt to overthrow Bonaparte.
The best chance for the dynasty.
However, they soon became disappointed because Her Majesty Queen Theresa was also the supreme ruler of the empire.
In just one or two months, she used an iron fist to rectify the wavering hearts of the people, severely punished those rebels who dared to endanger the rule of the Bonaparte family, and re-consolidated the rule of the empire.
Of course, the reason why she restored order so smoothly was not because she really had unshakable authority in the minds of the empire's supporters. Most of the ministers and generals who were loyal to His Majesty, when His Majesty the Emperor was unable to govern,
Naturally, I chose to obey the rule of Her Majesty the Queen.
After all, the couple has been sharing weal and woe and starting a business together for many years. Everyone does agree that Her Majesty the Queen has the authority to be second in line. Queen Teresa’s performance over the years has also proved that she does have enough ability and brains to run the wave.
The power system constructed by the Naba family.
In this way, after a short period of turmoil, everything in France seemed to have returned to calm. The Bonaparte family was still on the throne and seemed to be able to continue.
Perhaps without Emperor Napoleon II, the history of France in the 19th century would lack many wonderful chapters, but he is not indispensable to history. No matter how brilliant the achievements of the great conquerors in history, they
The long river of history continues to flow after their deaths, and His Majesty the Emperor is no exception.
But... would this young emperor really withdraw from the stage of history so easily? Is he really willing or helpless to accept the fatal blow from his wife?
In silence, Empress Teresa came to the door of His Majesty the Emperor's bedroom.
Because she had been busy with state affairs recently, she looked exhausted, and even the number of visits to her husband had to be reduced to the limit.
Her Majesty the Queen, who has been with her husband day and night for a long time, still couldn't let go of her thoughts about her husband. She finally found some free time today and came to visit her husband again.
Standing at the door is Amberdine, the daughter of Queen Louisa and Earl Neipeg, and the half-sister of His Majesty the Emperor. Since Aiglon ascended the throne, he fulfilled the agreement with his mother and brought the dead Neipeg to the throne.
The earl's son and daughter were brought to the court.
Due to their special status, they naturally used Queen Theresa as their backer, and eventually followed Her Majesty in launching this coup.
At this time, Amberdine was looking at Her Majesty the Queen nervously, waiting for Queen Teresa's inquiry.
"How is your Majesty doing now?"
"I can only say that I can barely hold on." Amberdine replied cautiously, "But, Your Majesty, think about it, if you keep giving medicine to Your Majesty all the time to prevent him from regaining consciousness, it will be devastating to the body.
It’s too serious. Although His Majesty is in good health, I don’t think this is a long-term solution.”
Teresa remained silent, and she knew that Amberdine's words were right.
After hesitating for a moment, she revealed her plan to the other party. "It will take some time before I can have my hands free. At that time, I can wean off His Majesty's medicine and let him slowly regain his energy. Then I will give him a rest."
Move him to a quiet place to rest."
Amberdine lowered his head slightly and seemed to accept this statement. "I understand, maybe... this is also the best result..."
"Yes, this is the best result." Queen Theresa repeated it as if she was saying it to herself.
Then, she motioned to Amberdine to open the door, and then she and her entourage walked in.
As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a strong smell of medicine coming from the bed. It was obvious that Amberdine had been faithfully fulfilling her orders recently and regularly feeding His Majesty the Emperor medicine so that he could continue to sleep.
Although this was Teresa's order originally, she couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought about it.
She walked to the bed in silence, and then saw her husband lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
Because he has been sleeping for too long without seeing the sun, his skin is much paler than before, and his hair has grown a lot longer, but his beard has been shaved very clean. Under Theresa's gaze, he is peacefully
When you fall asleep, your breathing is very rhythmic, and your chest rises and falls with it.
The young man's peaceful sleeping appearance made Queen Teresa, who had slept with him for countless nights, deeply moved.
There have been so many beautiful and sweet times in their marriage. Even if they have reached this stage, those beautiful memories cannot be erased.
Teresa looked at His Majesty's sleeping face for a while, then looked back at Amberdine and thanked her for taking care of her husband so hard for so many days.
"Amber, you did better. Thank you."
"This is what I should do, he is my brother after all..." Amberdine replied with a wry smile.
Teresa also smiled bitterly, then she reached out her hand and gently touched her husband's pale and smooth face.
"Your Highness, please be patient and patient...we will definitely be very happy when the time comes to live together."
Just when she was about to take back her hand, His Majesty the Emperor, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.
The eyes of the couple met like this.
Looking at her husband's sarcastic and hostile gaze, Teresa suddenly felt as if her blood had frozen. She wanted to withdraw her hand but seemed to have lost the strength.
Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor did not intend to give her any chance to breathe. He pulled Queen Theresa into his arms, and then held her tightly.
Then, he directly rolled out of the bed with Her Majesty Queen Theresa, using the bed to block any swords or bullets that might come at her.
Then, he dragged Theresa to the corner of the room, made sure there was no one around, and used Theresa in his arms as a shield for his body. Then he raised his head again and looked at the room warily.
other people inside.
Queen Teresa did not make any effective resistance. On the one hand, the strength gap between the husband and wife was too great; on the other hand, she seemed to have lost the will to resist after being controlled by her husband. She was controlled by her husband like this.
Like a kite with its string broken, it is at the mercy of the strong winds of fate.
When the falcon was flying, the situation changed dramatically. Only then did the attendants react. They were so frightened that they wanted to come forward and separate the two majesties, but they did not dare to move, for fear that the queen would suffer.
"Guards!" someone screamed.
But they were answered by several gunshots.
Then, the door was opened, and the person who walked in was beyond their expectation. The leader was Wilhelm von Kneiperg, Amberdine's brother. At this time, his clothes were stained with blood, but he was able to come in,
This in itself means that he temporarily controls this room.
Very few in number, but effective enough.
At the most critical time, at the most critical juncture, it only takes a few people to change the direction of history. This was true last time when His Majesty the Emperor was plotted against by Her Majesty the Queen; it is also the same this time with Her Majesty the Queen.
Should we say that it is better to be repaid by God? Or should we say that we are indeed a husband and wife?
At this time, Her Majesty the Queen seemed to have finally woken up from the mental shock. She glared at William, and then looked at Amberdine. "You two, betrayed me!"
She had figured out that her husband must have been awake a long time ago, and then she instigated the rebellion of Amberdine and William. They did not act immediately, but struck another thunderous blow when she visited her husband.
They succeeded.
Amberdine seemed to feel guilty and lowered his head, daring not to look at the Queen again, but William did not seem to feel ashamed. He looked back at Queen Theresa confidently, and then solemnly saluted His Majesty the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, I sincerely congratulate you on quelling the rebellion!"
"Do you think anything good will happen to you?" Queen Theresa scolded him angrily, "Don't forget what you did for me before!"
"I have to introduce you solemnly, he is already the Prince of Naipeg." Aigron looked at his wife with a half-smile, and then whispered. "Because he has served in putting down the rebellion and loyally defended the rule of our dynasty.
.I don’t think he has committed any crime. You are responsible for everything. My dear, stop struggling in vain. He will not listen to you."
Agron's tone was pleasant, but it sounded like a thunderbolt to Teresa. Her mind was a little dizzy, and her vision was blurred and she almost couldn't see her husband clearly. It was just the last bit of pride and self-esteem in her heart that kept her from being with her husband.
Fainted in embarrassment in front of him.
She is a Habsburg princess. No matter what her success or failure is, she should have the courage to face reality.
Besides...she had already been mentally prepared before launching the palace change, so she swallowed her breath, then forcibly gathered her last energy, raised her head and faced her husband.
"Really? Congratulations, Your Highness... you are still the emperor after all." She smiled bitterly, and then complained softly, "You have never hugged me so tightly."
"Really?" Aigron laughed in his wife's ear, with a little complacency and a little depression in his expression. "Maybe that's because I've never been as afraid of losing you as I am today."
"It's already this time, don't humiliate me like this anymore." Teresa shook her head, "You win, I'm a rebel, you can do whatever you want with me, I have nothing to say. I just
Please, for the sake of our ten years of friendship, please don’t humiliate me anymore, I can’t stand this, Your Highness.”
"No, Teresa, you haven't understood the whole situation." Agron shook his head, and then touched his wife's face lovingly, "If I wanted everything to be out of control, I wouldn't have waited until today to attack.
.You do need to accept punishment, but you are still my wife and I don’t want to lose you.”
"I don't need your pity!" Teresa retorted.
"Then think about our son? If his mother is a rebellious, how should he deal with it?" Aigron asked.
Then, he couldn't help but grab his wife's waist again, and then forcefully dragged her out of the room in full view of everyone.
As soon as he walked out of the room, the afterglow of the setting sun happened to fall on his face. He narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the day of seeing the sun again.
The air in the Palace of Fontainebleau is still as sweet as ever...
=
It was almost nightfall, but Miss Charlotte de Treville, who lived in the Palace of Fontainebleau, could not find her usual leisure mood.
All chaos starts from that winter night.
Although she has never had the chance to accompany His Majesty the Emperor since he suffered a stroke and fell into coma, her information is no longer as good as before, and no one has ever come to explain to her what happened, but this young girl still
Have enough sense to guess what happened.
His Majesty the Emperor was imprisoned by Her Majesty the Queen. This was a coup. Although Xia Lu couldn't believe why this normally loving couple would reach this point, the fact was the fact.
During this period, the Palace of Fontainebleau was in turmoil, and many old faces that could often be seen disappeared.
The only thing that makes people happy is that Queen Teresa did not make things difficult for Princess Kristel, and because she had the protection of her mother and aunt, she was not implicated in any way.
But what exactly is the end of such a day?
The little girl, who was only ten years old, felt a little more sad than she had ever felt before.
While she was still frowning, an attendant came over and announced to her that His Majesty the Emperor had summoned her.
"Your Majesty the Emperor!?" Xia Lu was shocked.
She wanted to ask, but the attendant didn't give any answer, and just urged her to come quickly.
Xia Lu didn't make any resistance and followed the attendants all the way to the reception room that His Majesty the Emperor used to use.
It was here that she met the young man again after more than two months.
"Your Majesty..." She immediately saluted him. "Are you finally feeling well?"
"Yes, that's good." His Majesty the Emperor nodded, "It's good enough to find someone to settle the score with."
The hidden meaning of this sentence made Xia Lu suddenly go out of her mind.
"I have nothing to do with this... As you can see, I haven't done anything for this." She hurriedly defended herself.
"Yes, of course. How could Queen Teresa find a ten-year-old child to conspire?" Aigron nodded with a smile, and then immediately changed the subject, "But, your sister-in-law, Ms. Agnes,
But he clearly participated in this rebellion and also committed violence against me. What kind of crime do you think this is?"
Only now did Xia Lu know what happened that night.
Of course she knew what the crime was, but she had been cared for by Agnes since she was a child and had the utmost respect for this beautiful and strong aunt. How could she be willing to see her executed for treason?
"Your Majesty... Aunt Agnes committed a serious crime, but think about it, she has been with you for so long, don't you still know her temper? She must have been incited by some people and committed the crime on impulse.
For such a crime... I dare not ask you to forgive her, but I ask you to forgive her a little for the sake of your previous friendship with her..."
"It's my business whether to forgive her or not, and you'd better take care of yourself now." His Majesty the Emperor said coldly, "Xia Lu, your aunt is rebellious, and your mother may be involved even if she is not involved.
, at least acquiesced in my sister’s crime afterwards, so what’s your position in it? Which side did you support in the past two months?”
Needless to say, of course I supported the winner! Anyway, whoever wins, the Bonaparte family will continue to be the emperor, and Xia Lu will not harm herself at all. Of course, Xia Lu would not dare to tell such a truth to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, don't you believe me?" She smiled reluctantly, then opened her blue eyes wide, shook her head innocently, trying to act coquettishly to His Majesty the Emperor, in order to arouse his previous love for her, "
Your Majesty, how can you doubt my respect and admiration for you?"
"Really?" His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his hand and gently stroked the top of her head as usual, "I believe you, Xia Lu, you have always been a good child."
Xia Lu suddenly felt relieved.
But before she could act coquettishly again, His Majesty the Emperor changed the topic again, "How about I give you a chance to prove your innocence?"
"You...what do you mean?" Xia Lu felt a chill, and she had a premonition of what would happen next.
"You go and find a way to find Agnes and have her arrested to prove the innocence of you, your mother, and the Treville family. If you do it, I will consider you to be innocent. How about that?"
?Is that reasonable enough?" Aigron asked.
Then, he looked closely at Xia Lu.
Xia Lu knew that this was definitely not a tone of discussion, but an order that could not be resisted.
And do you have a choice now? No choice.
Now that His Majesty the Emperor has recovered his health and appears in front of everyone, no one in the empire can resist his will.
"Yes, I understand..." She lowered her head and obeyed the order.
Although she obeyed the order on the surface, she was very angry in her heart.
Since His Majesty the Emperor has regained power, he has countless ways to capture Aunt Agnes. Why did he choose himself specifically?
Because...he knew that hurt from close relatives was the most powerful thing that made Aunt Agnes unable to resist.
You bastard, I will never make it easy for you in the future... The young Xia Lu lowered her head and shed tears, thinking angrily to herself.
