Struggle in Russia

Countess Maria Murapova is a bit hesitant. According to her character, she will never stop fighting with Count Shuvanov, and she will never give up until the other party knows how powerful she is.

But Li Xiao's shrewdness left a deep impression on her. According to someone's advice, she had better not provoke people like Count Shuvanov, otherwise if she falls into his hands in the future, it will be worse at best!

But she really couldn't swallow this breath. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to follow her own temper!

"How dare I ask you, Earl, to make up for your mistakes!" She said in a sinister tone, "Who doesn't know that you are a popular figure in front of His Majesty? It's too late to flatter him!"

This is a bit harsh, because Count Shuvanov is really not a popular person in front of Alexander II. Even if Count Rostovtsev hadn't put in a good word for him, he would have been forgotten in some inconspicuous place by now. There's mold in the corner!

Obviously, Countess Maria Murapova was sarcastic or mocking him. Everyone knew that Countess Maria Murapova was Alexander II's confidante, as long as it wasn't too outrageous. Alexander II generally would not refuse requests.

That is definitely more respectable than Count Shuvanov!

But Countess Maria Murapova just said this, just to remind Count Shuvanov that her relationship with Alexander II is unusual. You'd better be smarter!

Of course Count Shuvanov heard it, and it really made him feel humiliated. I thought that he, one of the big bosses in the third part of the Imperial Earl, was actually being made trouble by a woman who entertained people with sex. Even this was when he was being reasonable. If he were not so reasonable, wouldn't he be eaten alive by this woman?

Count Shuvanov was very angry, but he had to admit that this is the truth. In Russia, we never look at which side the truth is on, but only which side has more power. The side with more power is the truth and the kingly way!

He suppressed his anger and replied: "You are joking, Countess. I am just a pawn serving His Majesty. I am humble and have no sense of existence! I sincerely apologize to you. I hope you will not remember the villain." But please forgive me for this offense!"

It is said that Count Shuvanov's attitude is low enough, Countess Maria Murapova had better stop it, so that the two sides do not really break the relationship. But Count Shuvanov's low profile gave her the wrong impression, making her think that Count Shuvanov was just a softie, and she despised softies the most!

Immediately she added another punch: "Hmph! Since you know that you are in a humble position, you should keep your eyes open. If you offend someone you can't afford to offend, the consequences will be very serious! For the sake of your sense, get out of here. Bar!"

Count Shuvanov was in a state of embarrassment. After all, there were still his subordinates around. Countess Maria Murapova slapped him in front of him, causing him to lose all face. Apart from anything else, how will you face these subordinates after you return, and how will you make them obey orders honestly?

Count Shuvanov looked directly at Countess Maria Murapova. After a while, he swallowed his breath with bitterness, waved his hand and led his men out.

"Duke Vladimir was not found?" Although Alexander II was mentally prepared for this trip to be fruitless, he was still a little unhappy after hearing it. He asked: "Didn't you mean Maria Murat? Is Countess de Beauvoir the most suspect? Why can’t she be found?”

Count Shuvanov really felt that he was not a human being inside and out. He was humiliated by Countess Maria Murapova outside, and was made things difficult for him by Alexander II when he returned to the imperial study. He had made it very clear before that too much time had passed. After a long time, as long as Prince Vladimir is not an idiot, he will definitely run away, and he may be living abroad now!

But Alexander II obviously forgot his reminder and looked unhappy at being deceived. This is so embarrassing!

Of course, Count Shuvanov did not dare to quarrel with Alexander II. He could only explain it again patiently and reminded again: "Your Majesty, I still think Countess Maria Murapova is the most suspicious. , it’s just that it was too late for us to suspect her, leaving her enough time to cover up the crime, but I believe that as long as we keep a close eye on her, sooner or later we will find clues to convict her!”

Alexander II curled his lips, disapproving of this. He didn't want to wait, and he didn't have the patience to wait. He just wanted to kill Duke Vladimir immediately and let out a bad breath, telling the whole world that no one could steal a woman from him!

What's more, this matter itself is not a crime. After all, Countess Maria Murapova is not his wife. If Duke Vladimir committed a crime, wouldn't he, the Tsar, also commit a crime?

You must know that this time, there was a big fanfare to arrest Duke Vladimir. It was only because Pobedonostsev was cuckolded that he had an excuse. Therefore, this matter must be done in a controlled manner and must not be done casually!

"Don't harass Countess Maria Murapova!" Alexander II warned sternly, "If you let me know that someone is monitoring her illegally in the third part, then you are the only one I will ask!"

Count Shuvanov smiled bitterly: "In this case, how can we capture Duke Vladimir? Now our only clue is the countess!"

Alexander II thought for a while and replied: "Then it can't be too explicit! Let's put aside the matter of arresting Duke Vladimir for now. You should also know that some irresponsible foreign newspapers have You are making a big fuss about this matter and slandering the royal family wantonly, you should solve this trouble first!"

Count Shuvanov asked: "Duke Dolgoruky's method is good. This shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Alexander II replied angrily: "I know, but the problem is that some people in the country are also spreading this news, and they are constantly adding fuel and jealousy. It is simply nonsense!"

Only then did Count Shuvanov understand that Alexander II wanted him to shut up the mouths of those who spread this gossip. He thought that this was still not a particularly difficult task, because those who like big mouths generally don’t have the courage to catch a group of them. If people are sent to the prison in the third part and frightened, they will become honest.

"You can't arrest people randomly!" Alexander II immediately objected, "If you arrest people, wouldn't you tell the whole country that these things are true!"

Count Shuvanov really understood this time. Alexander II wanted to save face. He wanted to shut up but didn't want to make headlines. This was a bit difficult!
