Although this request was a bit abrupt, it was not impossible for Agnes. It was just a corpse anyway, so she was not afraid of any trouble.
"I will take you to have a look when you feel better." She agreed immediately.
"Take me now!" Bianca said, struggling to get up from the bed.
Agnes knew very well that her master was very stubborn, so since he was so insistent, she had no choice but to make concessions.
"Don't move yet! Just wait for me!"
She found Chanel again and made her master's request.
Sure enough, Chanel quickly agreed, so after a while, she supported Bianca and left the ward together.
Under the guidance of Chanel, they were taken to a basement by the guards, where Gaudin's body was temporarily stored.
The basement was quite cold, and there was a sink in the middle. Gaudan's body was soaked in the solution. His face was slightly swollen, but his face and outline could still be seen clearly, just like a preserved specimen.
Agnes was afraid that Bianca would misunderstand that Your Majesty was deliberately insulting Gaudan's body, so she defended Agnes first. "Your Majesty did not intentionally torture his body, but temporarily stored his body here because something like this happened."
An unexpected incident occurred, Your Majesty must leave a piece of evidence..."
Of course Bianca can understand what Agnes means.
Gaudan attacked him and made him no longer suitable to attend the hearing. So in order to at least justify everything, he really needed to use Gaudan's body to prove it all.
However, even though he knew this, seeing him treated like this still made people feel inexplicably sad.
The pungent smell of alcohol permeated the basement, but Bianca was completely unaware of it. She stood next to the sink, and then quietly looked at Gaudan lying in it, with mixed feelings in her heart.
For your benefactor, you paid such a high price and now you can't even rest in peace after death. Is it really worth it?
Does it really matter who sits on that throne?
Although Bianca is not too old, she has seen many passers-by in the field of power, and she does not understand the meaning of this.
However, since this was her old friend's last wish, she had no choice but to satisfy it.
"Poor friend, may you rest in peace soon!" Bianca tapped her forehead and chest several times and made the sign of the cross to express her condolences.
Then, she turned to look at Agnes, "Since this is fate, I will not resent anyone. It was not you who killed him, but himself. He chose such a fate and ending for himself.
...I think even he himself would not feel resentful about it. Killing or being killed is the same thing."
"It's great that you think so!" Agnes breathed a sigh of relief.
She was originally afraid that the master would always be resentful of her because she forced Gao Dan to death, but now that the master is so open-minded, she feels relieved.
"Can you take me to see your Majesty?" Bianca asked suddenly.
This request surprised Agnes, because she thought that Bianca would not want to see His Majesty - after all, most of the sins she suffered came from this young man.
"Are you still afraid of what trouble I might bring to him now?" Seeing that she didn't answer, Bianca smiled bitterly.
"I'm actually afraid that you'll offend him again..." Agnes also smiled bitterly, "You're already like this now. If you offend His Majesty again, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry, I have no interest in arguing with anyone now." Bianca interrupted her. "I just have something to say to him."
Seeing what the master said, Agnes hesitated.
"Okay then, I'll apply for it for you."
===========================
Soon, Agnes conveyed the news to Aigron that Bianca had woken up and asked to see him.
Aiglon also became interested in Bianca's request at this time, so he agreed to the request.
Of course, considering Bianca's physical condition at this time, he did not let her visit him specially, but took the initiative to visit her in the ward.
Before that, Aiglon naturally hated Bianca with a itch, but after seeing the other party seriously injured and dying twice, and in such a miserable state, his desire for revenge has been mostly eliminated, so now he can face it with a calm mind.
other side.
"Madam, congratulations on your escape from death."
"Thank you." Bianca replied calmly, "I also congratulate you for eliminating an opponent."
"Actually, I regret the death of Mr. Gaudan. He was a talented man. If he had been captured alive by me, I would not have him sentenced to death, but would have kept him by my side." Aiglon replied. "
But since he committed suicide, there is nothing we can do... If you hate me because of this, then I will not defend myself."
"No, I won't hate you for this. You are playing a game with him. He wants to kill you, so it is not an injustice if he is killed by you." Bianca's voice was very weak, but she still managed to keep up her energy and continued.
He continued, "I think that even if he has a soul after his death, he will not be aggrieved by his death. He is a man who can afford to take things and let them go."
"That's right, you have some courage to discern the truth after all!" Aigron smiled slightly, "To a certain extent, this is also a good thing for you. Mr. Gaudin's death also means that you will not
You no longer have any obligations to anyone - I think you must have no loyalty to the Duke of Orleans? In that case, you have nothing to do with all these things, and I will not pursue you anymore."
"Now that I'm awake, don't you want me to continue to testify?" Bianca asked.
"No, it's not necessary." Aigron replied categorically, "Although you are awake, since you have such a deep friendship with him, you will definitely not be willing to violate his wishes before his death. In this case, I will give it to you.
What's the point of forcing you to go to the hearing? Maybe you will say a lot of things that are not good for me without conscience, which will make me more passive. In this case, I might as well let you recuperate.
Just stay out of it for the sake of your reputation. Anyway, this matter is not something you have to do in the first place."
Agron didn't bother to lie to Bianca, so he simply told everything frankly - he just didn't trust Bianca to stand on his side.
"I didn't expect you knew me quite well." Bianca sneered.
"It's always been easy to guess what you're thinking." Aigron shrugged, "Okay, I've guaranteed that you can stay out of it, so do you have anything else to say?"
Bianca was silent for a moment. It was obvious that she was a little confused at this time and needed to organize her thoughts.
After a moment, she spoke again, "Since Agnes has told you the previous story, you should already know the whole incident. There is no need for me to say more now. I only have one thing to ask.
You - if you win, how are you going to punish the Duke of Orleans and his family?"
"I didn't come back to settle everything. If I'm too cruel, it will affect my own reputation." Aigron immediately replied, "Although he wants to kill me, there are too many people in the world who want to kill me. I
I won’t particularly hold a grudge against him. If he knows better, he can leave this country with his family and part of his property. I won’t embarrass him - but that’s the limit. As long as I am still alive, he will never think about it again in this life.
Louis XVIII showed mercy to him by touching the soil of his motherland, and everyone can see the consequences. I will not make the same mistake again!"
Aigron's words were so frank, but Bianca felt relieved.
Gaudin has followed the Duke of Orleans for so many years. Before he dies, he will probably miss his old benefactor. Since Aigron does not want to kill everyone, then his soul in heaven will feel a lot better.
"Okay, I will help you." Then she said suddenly.
"What can you help me with?" Aigron was slightly surprised.
"I'll help you let him stop as soon as he sees fit, and while you're still so lenient, end this as soon as possible." Bianca answered him gloomily, "Isn't this the best result he can get now?
"
Aigron was so surprised by Bianca's change of attitude that he instinctively doubted the authenticity of what the other person said, so he did not answer immediately, but looked at the other person suspiciously.
"Don't be so surprised, Your Majesty, I am not crazy, on the contrary, I am very sober now." Bianca smiled bitterly, "You know, the reason why I help the Duke is just because it is Gaudan's entrustment. I respect him
I am not interested at all in whether I can sit on the throne; now that Gaudan will take the initiative to take risks, make such a dangerous move, and even risk his own life, then I think this is enough to show that the Duke has fallen into the trap of you.
Complete disadvantage - in this case, in order to comfort the soul of my old friend in heaven, and to save you from bleeding, it is better to let his family land safely, so as not to become the victims of ambition."
At this point, she sighed softly, "The exile life away from home is certainly painful, but it's better than being in jail or having your head in a different place? I think he can weigh it clearly himself."
Bianca's words dispelled Aigron's doubts, and he could see that the other party was telling the truth.
So, he was quickly overjoyed.
After all, for him, killing is not a hobby but a means. If he can defeat others without fighting, then of course it would be better.
However, he did not lose his basic vigilance, but carefully tested the opponent.
"Then how are you going to help me?"
Bianca obviously had an idea in her mind, so she immediately answered him. "I will not attend the hearing to testify, because that would be tantamount to confirming the Duke's guilt. Then you can't let him go even if you want to."
So easy - but I will privately persuade the Duke to accept your leniency terms and not waste the last chance. Not everyone can be generous enough to save his opponent's wealth and life."
Aigron suddenly felt happy, Bianca was willing to do more than he expected.
However, at this time, he still did not forget to ask, "What if he is unwilling to follow your advice and still persists in his stubbornness?"
"I will let him understand everything - facing a real threat, I believe he will have enough sense to make the best decision for himself and his family." Bianca replied firmly,
"In the final analysis, he is not an indomitable warrior. He abandoned his father and chose to escape more than 30 years ago. How can he be desperate to fight you now? He is not that kind of person... If Gao Dan is still here
If so, it may strengthen his will and make him waver, but since Gao Dan is no longer here, he may not still have the courage to fight to the death..."
Bianca's words were so reasonable that Aigron really believed them.
Although her operating logic is completely different from Aigron's, she has always been an aboveboard person and will not engage in any conspiracy.
After all, even if Bianca's efforts failed, he had nothing to lose.
"Okay, I promise you, as long as you do this, I will never harm him or his family." Aigron looked at the other party solemnly, "Although there are many accounts to be settled between us,
But I can forget about it."
Then, he changed the topic and said, "If you have helped me so much, I will also reward you heavily."
"Reward? Do you think I would care about any reward? I didn't make this choice for you at all. I was just completing my own ideas." Bianca laughed disdainfully, "If you think
If you owe me anything, then be nice to her... Even now, I can't forgive you for what you did. For your own despicable desires, you dragged her into such a quagmire, so noble.
Agnes, because of you, you are doomed to be despised and ridiculed... What a price she paid! Shouldn't you bear the responsibility so that she can at least comfort herself and continue to live?"
Bianca's accusation made Aigron speechless.
He knows better than anyone what he did to get everything he wanted.
But, so what? Everything can be made up for in the end, isn’t it good to be like this now?
"Even if you don't say it, I will be very nice to her." Aigron looked proud, "I will give her whatever I can give her."
"You bastard!" Bianca frowned, perhaps irritated by his confident attitude.
However, she did not lose her temper after all.
Because she knew that as of now, she had no way to interfere with all this - Agnes had already silently accepted everything.
Moreover, even her family members had no objections to this and instead cheered for joy. So what position did she have to interfere?
She could only accept it all reluctantly, and work hard to secure a relatively better future for Agnes. This was all she could do.
The two ended their negotiation, and Agnes, who was waiting outside, immediately returned to the master. "How was your discussion just now?"
"It was smooth, but not pleasant." Bianca gave a simple summary.
Then, she touched her apprentice's cheek lovingly and said, "My child, I hope your compassion and innocence will not bring bad luck to yourself!"
"What did you say?" Agnes was a little confused.
"It's nothing..." Bianca shook her head, "I'm just tired and need to rest. There are still very important things waiting for me to do."
