Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the summer of 1862.

Empress Elizabeth died a year ago on Christmas Day, and Peter III ascended the throne without any suspense. He immediately ordered the cessation of war with the Prussians and signed a contract with Frederick.

However, his actions aroused widespread dissatisfaction in the Imperial Military, but he still did his own thing.

Also, his queen, Caterina, was pregnant with her lover's child, which made Peter III extremely disgusted with her. Although he also had his own lover, as the king of a country, his queen was obviously not pregnant with her, and no one would ignore it.

Catherine obviously realized this.

A conspiracy is being brewed.

In the past year or so, Petronov has become a diligent gardener in Peter's Palace, a gardener who is indifferent to the world. Ah Hai has won the trust of the queen for her agile skills and effective achievements in relieving the symptoms of Ekaterina's gynecological disease.

At this time, there was always a young black servant by Peter III who took him with him when he traveled. The black slave was tall, handsome and strong. Peter III usually asked him to wear the captain's uniform of the Guards to drive a carriage for him.

Although the couple didn't deal with each other much, Caterina was also a strong person, so she asked Ah Hai to accompany her on a trip in the Guards uniform.

One with a black man and the other with a Kalmyk man became a joke in St. Petersburg.

Peter III's black servant was named Nassisos, the most handsome man in Greek mythology. He was the adopted son of Hannibal, the black disciple of Peter the Great. Although Hannibal was a black man, he was awarded the rank of major general in the era of Peter the Great and was deeply trusted in the era of Empress Elizabeth.

Nassisos's name was given to him by Peter III. Seeing this, Ekaterina also gave Ahai a Russian name by Tanya. Ahai was not very beautiful, but she was a Mongolian. For the Russians, although the history of the Mongols ruling them was very humiliating, it still left a powerful mark on them.

Tanya means the female god of war.

When the people from St. Petersburg learned the names of the two, they were even more joked.

In the early morning of June 27, Ah Hai, who was sleeping in the small bed outside the bedroom of the Peter Palace master, was woken up.

Since coming to St. Petersburg, Ah Hai has actually made no other achievements except to gain Catherine's trust. She was still thinking about something before going to bed this day.

"The Khan sent me here, saying that he was acting according to the opportunity. He originally wanted to use Dion to meet Queen Elizabeth and Princess Ekaterina, but he didn't expect that he would meet the Crown Princess in advance by accident. However, the Khan did not explain that he would do whatever he did after seeing the Crown Princess, it was really worrying."

In the past six months, the one who has been sleeping with Ekaterina is her lover Grigori Orlov, a tall, handsome but rude Russian officer. Not long after, the two fell asleep in a carnival that resounded throughout the palace.

The knock on the door was thick and orderly. As soon as Ah Hai heard it, he knew who was coming, so he quickly put on his clothes and got up.

Although Ah Hai lives outside, she is still a distance away from the queen's bedroom. If anyone outside wants to see the queen, he must pass through Ah Hai's level.

She endured her sleepiness and lit a candle, then walked to the door staggeringly.

After opening the door, the cold wind blowing from the Baltic Sea almost extinguished the candle. The pearlescent light swayed, revealing the scar face of Alexey Orlov.

Alexei is Grigori's brother. In recent times, Grigori has accompanied Ekaterina to entertain and sleep, while Alexei is running outside.

It was through these two brothers that Ekaterina controlled everything in St. Petersburg.

The wheels of history are rolling forward with an unstoppable momentum - except for the extra Ah Hai!

The knock on the door just now was what Alexey and Grigori agreed upon, so naturally he told Ah Hai.

Ahai felt disgusted with this scar-faced officer. When he came over, he would touch her. For Katerina, it would be impossible to share her lover's brother with her maid. She also wanted to make it happen, but Ahai refused.

"Queen, in my tribe, if you do something like that without a formal marriage, you will be punished by God"

As Ah Hai explained to Katerina, his face was filled with deep fear.

As a German, Ekaterina obviously didn't know much about the Mongolian tradition. She naturally thought it was a kind of witchcraft, but she didn't want to destroy the relationship between the master and the servant because of this, so she went there.

Ah Hai flashed to the side. If it were normal, Alexei would definitely pounce on him and touch him before he could go to Ekaterina's bedroom. But this time he looked serious and pushed her away and hurriedly ran in.

In the tall and empty palace, Ah Hai fell into deep thought.

"When he knocked on the door just now, although his technique and order were correct, he was obviously very anxious. He was like this again when he saw me. Unless something big happened, he would not do this."

“But what big thing will happen?”

"In the past few days, the queen has secretly met with Nikita Panin, the chief of the Prince's Palace, the commander of the St. Petersburg Guards, the former Tsar's love frazumovsky, and by the way, the Tsar's Secretary of State and Secret Police Chief Volkov!"

"Obviously, these people are not supposed to be summoned by a queen. At this time, the Tsar is at the Palace of Oraninbaum. Shouldn't these people be waiting for his summons at any time?"

"As for the Tsar, he has been training his Holstein guards with the method of King Frederick Prussia these days, and he has not stayed away from St. Petersburg."

Just as I was thinking, I was wearing it outside and coughed.

Even though Ah Hai had been here for more than a year, she was shocked. She picked up the candle and saw that Peternov, who had been working as a gardener in Peter's Palace, appeared in front of her.

Petronov didn't say anything, handed her a small note and left in a hurry.

It is said that Peternov lives on the outermost side of the palace and is not qualified or capable of coming here. How did he come here?

Under the faint light of the candle, a line of words appeared on the small note.

After seeing it, Ah Hai quickly swallowed it.

That was the instruction from Bayar, the new ambassador of Truchen Khanate to Russia!

Just this year, Qitad suddenly asked his Foreign Minister to serve as ambassador in St. Petersburg. This incident once caused an uproar in the country. It is said that Bayar was out of favor because the Khanate now has embassies in Russia, Poland, Persia, Ottomans and Prussia. These ambassadors are all under the jurisdiction of the Foreign Minister.

Let a foreign minister who has been following him since childhood serve as an ambassador. What is this not falling out of favor?

Since Bayar came to St. Petersburg, she has only contacted Ah Hai once, and it was held at Bayar's banquet at Peter III. Usually, she will go wherever Catherine goes, and she can't go out at night. It's harder to contact Bayar than climbing the sky.

This is because, as the queen, Ah Hai is just his personal maid, and she also has her own secretary, purchasing, groom, chef, barber and others, and she doesn't need to come forward at all.

Caterina obviously knows her background. Although she trusts her, she still doesn't give her the opportunity to contact the outside world.

But how did Bayal do it?

A female soldier named Qiqige was also following her, but she was left in Oraninbaum Palace by Peter III. The two had never met since they separated!

Although I have received systematic intelligence training, it seems that it is still far behind senior officials like Bayar and Nolb.

This time, Alexey had been in for a long time. Seeing this, Ahai returned to his room and picked up his makeup box - the only thing he was allowed to carry after getting off the boat.

The makeup box is about one foot long and about half a foot high. It is made of rosewood and is very heavy. After opening it, I saw that the first layer was covered with jewelry, which included both what I brought and what I gave to her by Katerina.

Ah Hai's heartbeat was so hard that he was stunned for a while before calming down when he listened carefully, the bedroom in the distance was still a slight voice.

After gritting her teeth, she pressed the jewelry box for some reason, and saw a small drawer popping out of the base of the jewelry box, and there was a black thing in it!

Ah Hai quickly changed into a guard uniform and put the thing in his shirt pocket.

After finishing all this, she heard the door of the bedroom creaking and opened. She quickly packed up the jewelry box and walked out. She happened to see Katerina coming out with the Orlov brothers.

The queen's face was normal, and the two brothers were very anxious.

After seeing Ah Hai, Katerina said, "You stay here and wait for me to come back"

Ah Hai straightened his back, "Queen, I am your maid, and Tanya again!"

Ah Hai’s military uniform and Tanya’s name reminded Caterina. She hesitated for a while before saying, “Okay, then you can follow me”

The Orlov brothers went out first, and Katerina got on another carriage with the help of Ah Hai.

Ah Hai and the queen naturally sat in the carriage, but this time Ah Hai met someone she had never seen before!

An equally young and handsome guard, but not an officer, but just a sergeant. The man smiled when he saw Ah Hai.

Ah Hai suddenly woke up.

"He is a member of the Izmelovo Guard Cavalry Regiment near the Hermitage. Although he is nominally the commander of the Guards, he actually only commands the subordinates of Razumovsky, who is the Izmelovo Guard Cavalry Regiment!"

The Izmelovo Guards Cavalry Regiment was established by Peter the Great himself. After his death, the members of the cavalry regiment had his badge on their chests!

The carriage also heads towards the Hermitage. If you want to enter the Hermitage, you must first pass the base of the Izmelovo Guards Cavalry Regiment!

Peter's Palace City is about forty miles away from the Winter Palace. The sergeant named Po Jiangjin stood next to the groom, with a short gun and a saber hanging around his waist!

The carriage is pulled by four tall horses and is equipped with shock absorbing springs that are rare in Europe. Although this distance is still a dirt road, it is usually well maintained. At this speed, it can be reached within an hour at most!
