After seeing off Bianca and his apprentice, Aiglon also ended his meeting and returned to his bedroom.
Said to be his bedroom, it was actually the queen's bedroom in the Palace of Fontainebleau. At Teresa's insistence, the couple continued to live together after moving here, so Aigron regarded her residence as
My own resting place.
When Aigron stepped into the bedroom, Teresa was applying makeup with the help of her maid.
As they entered Fontainebleau, the couple's ostentation became more and more grand - not because they liked to show off, but because of practical political needs. They needed to remind people of the past grandeur of the empire, and they also had to make people
See the majesty of the emperor and queen.
After seeing Aiglon come in, Teresa motioned to the maids to quickly finish their makeup, and then motioned them to leave, leaving the couple alone.
After being carefully dressed up, Teresa's face was radiant. This woman who was less than twenty years old still had her original youthfulness, and she also had a bit more of a young woman's charm due to her childbirth and second pregnancy.
At the peak of her appearance and appearance, her beautiful face was paired with the popular curly double bun, and her fresh lips were shining with the lip gloss she had just applied.
With such a beautiful face, coupled with the royal nobility that has been cultivated slowly since birth, it can be said that she is already breathtakingly beautiful.
"Dear Your Highness, are you satisfied with my appearance today?"
"Satisfied, extremely satisfied." Aigron replied without thinking. "Teresa, you will soon be the most beautiful queen in Europe. They are not even qualified to lift your skirt."
With such a beautiful and elegant wife, even an emperor should be satisfied.
But even if a man is satisfied, he can't help but want to change his taste. Don't those rich men in later generations who marry big stars or directors also often cheat... Aigron excused himself in his heart.
"The queens may not be able to compare with me because they are all older, but are there any princesses from all over the world who can surpass me?" Teresa asked with a smile.
Those few words seemed to contain murderous intent... because Sophie was the princess.
"Well... I'm not a magic mirror. I can't make a conclusion without knowing more about it." Aigron's smile was slightly embarrassed, "But I don't believe that any princess would be better than you and be able to have someone like you.
The queen is the luck of this country! I hope they will not be ignorant of good and evil."
"Okay, I'm just joking. You look nervous." Teresa rolled her eyes at him, then left the dressing table, walked to Agron, and hugged him, "As long as you are satisfied.
alright."
Her eyes were filled with the sweetness of happiness, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with the days since arriving at the Palace of Fontainebleau.
Yes, she has no reason to be dissatisfied. Her husband's career is booming, and she has high hopes. She is personally building a future palace for their couple. Everyone around her is flattering and respectful to her... Any woman in this position
I'm afraid everyone will be satisfied with this position.
Aiglon hugged his wife, kissed her cheek, and then he continued.
"Just now, Ms. Bianca was sent here."
Upon hearing this name, Theresa's originally warm eyes were instantly covered with coldness. "Now she is finally in our hands..."
Teresa hated Bianca even more than Aigron, because Bianca stabbed her beloved husband and was a despicable person who almost ruined her life's happiness. If she had made the decision, she would have given the order directly
Bianca was executed with brutal torture.
This was indeed her plan at first, but Aiglon argued that it would be useful to save Bianca's life, so she had to reluctantly give in and save her life for the time being.
"Yes, she is behind bars now and cannot escape. We can make full use of her." Aiglon nodded.
Logically speaking, he didn't want to tell Theresa about this matter, but now Theresa was responsible for rebuilding the palace and recruiting a large number of people, which meant that there were Teresa's informants everywhere in this new palace.
It was too difficult to hide it from Theresa.
Aiglon even suspected that Bianca already knew about this matter just after she was sent in. She was just pretending not to know and waiting for him to explain it - so he chose to take the initiative to make it clear.
Sure enough, under Aigron's frankness, Theresa did not raise any objections, but quietly asked, "Then how do you plan to use it?"
"I plan to let the news out, saying that I caught an assassin who assassinated me in the past. I will make the matter a bit vague first, and then spread the news to the outside world." Aigron said what he was thinking, "When it actually happens
When I mature, I will publish an open letter, publicly accusing the Duke of Orleans of assassinating an assassination plot against me, and then citing all kinds of evidence to make it difficult for him to step down!"
These were plans that Aigron had mentioned before, and Teresa could guess that he would do this, so she was not confused. She was just hesitant about Bianca's attitude, "Then will Ms. Bianca cooperate?"
"
"Bianca's attitude is still quite stubborn now and she is not very cooperative, but she is in our hands now anyway, and we can change her attitude." Aigron replied, "Besides, it doesn't really matter what she says.
, because the so-called evidence can be manufactured...In the end, as long as I make accusations, it will be enough to make them panic for a while, and the truth is not important."
"That's true. But it would be better and more convincing if we could get her cooperation." After thinking for a while, Teresa agreed with Agron's view, but she also put forward her own opinion,
"Where is she being held now? I want to go there in two days to see who she is..."
Although she gritted her teeth with hatred for Bianca, Teresa was also a little curious in her heart. She didn't know what this vicious woman who stabbed her husband looked like, so she wanted to interrogate her personally.
This seemingly unintentional question suddenly hit Aigron's sore spot.
"Well..." Aigron paused for a moment, then replied with a wry smile, "I asked Miss Agnes to take custody of her."
Teresa's expression suddenly changed from gentle and drizzle to cloudy.
"What is the basis for your decision?"
At this time, she didn't know that Agnes was Bianca's apprentice, otherwise it would have been even harder to accept it.
"After the previous imprisonment, Bianca is already too weak and can be said to be on the verge of death - if she is put into any dungeon again, she will probably die soon, which will cause me to suffer huge losses, so I hope
Use better living conditions to keep her alive. But this brings a new problem. If her living conditions are improved, she may escape. So if you think about it carefully, it is very difficult to let Miss Agnes take custody of her.
A reasonable choice. After all, in addition to her extraordinary skills, she is also a woman and will not be as inconvenient as others."
"Your Highness is really thoughtful." Teresa seemed to be praising her, but she could still tell that she was dissatisfied. "But why don't you discuss it with me first? Although I don't have very strong swordsmanship, but if
If you want to take custody of someone, you can still find someone to do it."
Because of the incomplete information, Teresa didn't think that deeply. She was just like before, thinking that Miss Agnes stepped in to grab the credit, and took advantage of the opportunity of "revenge" on Egron.
Create a sense of presence in front of you.
And His Highness made a decision in advance before asking himself, making it clear that he was leaning towards her, and this was her truly angry attitude.
"But I think this is the best way to deal with it, so I didn't ask in advance." Aigron replied decisively, "Teresa, you are the hostess here. If you want to see Bianca, you can do it at any time.
You can go and see her, Miss Agnes won't stop you, and she can't stop you."
Teresa did not continue to pester because she clearly felt that her husband was already very impatient with this topic. If she continued to pester, a quarrel would inevitably break out, and she did not want to quarrel with His Highness - not to mention
Now, with their status, any quarrel may lead to a storm in the palace.
"I will do it when I have time." She responded with this sentence, indicating that she would no longer question it and accepted the arrangement.
But in her heart, she had other ideas.
Although Agron's treatment of Bianca seemed "reasonable" due to his eloquence, anyone with basic judgment could see that he was obviously partial to Agnes, and then found various reasons to do so.
Give rationality to your decisions.
What happened in Switzerland will happen again here... and the results may be even worse.
When she thought of this, Teresa suddenly felt a little anxious.
This sudden news aroused Teresa's sense of crisis, and she once again examined her current situation - even if she was covered with many layers of brocade, she still could not fully control her family and marriage.
She is currently pregnant for the second time. Although there are no obvious physical symptoms yet, it won't be long before her belly will swell day by day, until in the end it will be difficult to even walk - she has become a mother for once.
, so she already has sufficient experience in this process.
Expecting to give birth means that she will not be able to be intimate with her husband for several months. It also means that it is difficult for her to control her family and the people around her. It is also difficult for her to stop what her husband wants to do.
She didn't even have a reasonable and legitimate reason to stop it - after all, in the minds of these French people, it is normal for kings to have romantic affairs. More than one king in history has left romantic deeds in the Palace of Fontainebleau. Even so.
Not to mention the French, the situation in their home country of Austria and Germany as a whole does not seem to be much better. The king, like other princes, will have his own romantic history of pursuing pleasure.
This has been the case for generations, so how could she be allowed to change it just based on her own preferences?
Therefore, if she is unable to control the situation and no one will help her to stop it, who is interested in interfering in what is a matter of course?
They may even think that Queen Teresa is jealous and hinders His Majesty's normal life... No, it is not possible, but it will definitely be the case. Teresa is completely aware of this.
Precisely because she knew all this, Teresa's heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. If it weren't for her deep love for her husband, she could have turned a blind eye and swallowed it like the other queens, but she couldn't do it, at least now.
Can't do it.
As an "outsider", although she is not alone here, she is not much better. She has to rely on herself for everything, otherwise she will be just a puppet with the title of queen.
There is not much time left for her to move freely, and she must make corresponding preparations during this time.
Eggron watched Theresa sinking into deep thought. Although he could not see through her thoughts, he could guess some clues. Theresa seemed to disagree with her decision and was dissatisfied.
However, even after knowing this, he still did not intend to change his thoughts and actions.
This must be the arrogance he has always had.
Now, seeing the prey slowly falling into his palm, he had gained endless spiritual pleasure, so how could he stop? He had to get Agnes.
When he was subordinate, he swallowed his anger and plotted revenge for the time being, but once he gained power, he did whatever he wanted. This was his way of doing things.
Just because both of them had their own thoughts, the couple suddenly fell into silence.
"Your Highness..." After a long time, Teresa spoke again, and she showed a gentle smile again, as if the doubts, resentments and anxiety had never appeared before, "Okay, you are right, since you have
Once the decision has been made, there is no need for us to argue anymore. I believe Ms. Bianca will repent and cooperate with us in the future.
What we should consider most now is how to spread her news, what are you going to do?"
"This is very simple." Aiglon was eager to change the subject, so he immediately answered his wife, "The Count of Monte Cristo will return to Paris soon. I will ask him to meet Talleyrand, and then Talleyrand will
He can be our mouthpiece... He must be very happy to do this, because the more intense the fight between the Duke of Orleans and I, the happier he will be and the more proactive he will be. He may even add fuel to the fire and make our relationship worse.
The conflict has become more public, I have already written the personal letter, Edmund has set off, and it will be delivered to him soon."
"This will also be an opportunity for supporters of the two parties to divide and take sides. Whoever declares opposition to the assassination plot will lean towards us; and vice versa." Teresa understood.
"Yes, that's it!" Aigron nodded heavily. "If Talleyrand wants to set up a provisional government, I will help him, but one day, we will host his funeral, and then his legacy will be wiped out!
"
Seeing Aigron's confident look, Teresa was still fascinated by him even though she was full of worries at the moment, and she was sincerely happy for him.
"Your Highness will definitely make your wishes come true...and so will I."
