Struggle in Russia

Friedrich I finally realized the seriousness of the problem. He stayed on the spot motionless. After a long time, he asked blankly: "Your Excellency, are you telling the truth?"

Alexei said disdainfully: "You don't have to believe it."

Friedrich I was silenced by the rebuke. He wanted to get angry but didn't dare, but he believed it completely and was a little worried. In short, there are all kinds of tangles.

After a long while, he asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, do you have any evidence?"

Alexei really didn’t want to continue talking nonsense to him, and answered bluntly: “Do you believe Earl Helenson’s testimony? If you don’t believe it, just treat it as if there is no evidence and this matter does not exist!”

Frederick I stopped talking again. He really wanted to disbelieve it, but he really didn't dare to bet. He could only lower his attitude and asked carefully: "Of course I believe it. I always believe that your Excellency, Count, will not ignore your colleagues." His Royal Highness Prince William’s friendship will not deliberately deceive me.”

After a moment's pause, he asked tentatively: "Then what countermeasures do you have against the Austrians' conspiracy?"

Alexey even laughed at this guy. You are so shameless. When I start to remind you, one person on your left doesn't care and the other doesn't care, as if other people's affairs have nothing to do with you.

It's better now. Once you hear that it concerns you, you will completely change your attitude. Those who don't know think this is a matter of our Russia!

You ask me if I have any countermeasures. Do I owe you the countermeasures or something?

It's just that you can't say this. Even if you say it, Frederick I will most likely not dare to fall out, but it will definitely offend him. Considering that he wants to maintain the relationship with Prussia, he still can't make the relationship too rigid.

However, Alexey did not tolerate him, and retorted: "Our response is to inform the relevant people of the relevant situation, such as you and Prince William. We always respect the internal affairs of other countries and do not intend to interfere. I believe that both you and Prince William can handle these issues independently, right?"

Friedrich I's face was a little ugly. He felt that Alexei was playing a trick on him. He came to him with great fanfare, talked about the matter seriously, and finally said that he should solve it by himself. What means?

I have to say that the second-generation ancestor is the second-generation ancestor. An ordinary person would only be grateful to Alexey. After all, it would be a great honor to tell you this information. You must remember his kindness.

But he is different. He naturally feels good about himself, as if Alexei owes him and must help him. To be honest, don't pay attention to this kind of thing at all, but who made Prince William fall in love with such a living treasure as his son-in-law?

"Count, how could you watch this happen? How could you, as governor of Wallachia, watch this happen? Is that how you become a governor?"

Facing Friedrich I angrily questioning Alexey, he cursed in his heart, and then said calmly: "You were the one who watched what happened, no, if it wasn't for your connivance, that Julian Can young lady be so unscrupulous? I think you should examine yourself first!"

Friedrich I obviously disagreed, but he was indeed to blame for Julianne's incident. If he continued to insist, then Alexei would just kick the ball away and ignore it. And he really doesn't know what to do now. He doesn't want to fall into a trap, but he doesn't want Julianne to be hurt. He's just a jerk.

Fortunately, Alexey had enough experience in dealing with bastards and knew how to deal with bastards. He said nothing and quietly waited for Friedrich I to figure it out.

It took a while for this person to make a decision: "Your Excellency, I think this conspiracy should be crushed as soon as possible. They must not be allowed to destroy the good cooperative relations between Prussia and Baden and Baden and Wallachia. Our friendship is great." precious!"

Alexei sneered in his heart again, feeling that Frederick I was not completely hopeless, at least he knew what was important at the last minute.

It's just that this guy's choice is still a bit strange, because he just said that he wanted to ensure cooperation and maintain friendship, but in the blink of an eye he said: "But... But your lord, is there a possibility that Miss Julianne is not an Austrian spy... I'm not denying her espionage. What I mean is...it means that Miss Julianne was exploited by the Austrians because of her inexperience in the world, and acted as an accomplice of the Austrians without knowing it. Do you think this is possible? ?”

Looking at Friedrich I's hopeful look, Alexey knew that this guy definitely hoped that he would say that Julianne was just being used, and then he could naturally get off the road and help Julianne clean up.

But Alexei didn't want to do this. He felt that Julianne was a scourge. If she didn't get rid of her and let her stay with Frederick I, sooner or later that woman would cause trouble.

This time they were lucky enough to find it in time, but what about next time? Alexei didn't want to gamble his luck, so he was ready to refuse without thinking: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, I think..."

But before he could finish speaking, the door to the study room was pushed open. This of course made Alexei furious, because he had repeatedly ordered that no one disturb his communication with Frederick I. Who did this? courage!

But after seeing the appearance of the person clearly, Alexei's anger immediately dissipated, because the person who broke in was none other than Li Xiao.

Alexei and Vishniak were overjoyed immediately, leaving Friedrich I aside and rushing forward to save him:

"My friend, you are finally back! I am so happy to see that you are safe and well!"

It's just that Li Xiao didn't come to greet him. After winking at Alexey and Vishniak, he walked up to Friedrich I and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Crown Prince, why are you here? Outside. The dance will be quite deserted without you!"

Friedrich I naturally knew Li Xiao. Although he was worried now, he had to cheer up and say: "Well... there is nothing I can do. The count has urgent matters to discuss with me..."

Li Xiao asked curiously: "Urgent matters? Please forgive me for being rude. Can I ask what is more important than having fun in time? On this beautiful night, rest and entertainment are the most important. Don’t let the ladies down!”

Frederick I immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Sorry, this matter is indeed very important and must be resolved first..."
