Count Rostovtsev looked at Li Xiao quietly for a while, and then asked slowly: "Do you really want to use that woman?"
Li Xiao replied calmly: "Yes, she should be more useful. I think she can come in handy at some point in the future!"
Count Rostovtsev hummed and continued to ask calmly: "What about Grand Duke Constantine and Count Shuvalov?"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "I don't think this is a big problem, right?"
Count Rostovtsev also smiled at this time, but even if he smiled, the corners of his mouth were just slightly raised, and you couldn't tell it was a smile unless you looked carefully.
"How did you tell?" Count Rostovtsev rested his hands on the armrests and crossed them, like a teacher who was giving a question to test his students.
Li Xiao smiled and said: "This is not difficult to guess. With your style, you will definitely not make things so obvious. You will definitely not let Grand Duke Constantine or Count Shuvalov see your true tendency..."
After a pause, Li Xiao looked up at the earl and continued: "What's more, my uncle's temper is absolutely unwilling to see a huge scandal involving the royal family or high-ranking nobles occur at this juncture, so..."
The next words Count Rostovtsev said on his behalf: "So whoever is dealing with this matter had better make it smaller, better eliminate everything that caused rumors, and better let it all disappear quietly.
clean!"
Li Xiao also smiled and said: "Yes, this is the best result. But it would be more ideal to teach some people a lesson and give them a lesson so that they can be more cautious in doing things!"
Count Rostovtsev smiled again: "Isn't that what I am doing?"
Li Xiao chuckled and said: "Yes, you did a very good job. I believe that Grand Duke Constantine and Count Shuvalov will learn a lesson. Do you need me to help you arrange a few scapegoats?"
Count Rostovtsev shook his head slightly and said: "There's no need for that. The scapegoat has already been arranged. Those Polish foot wipes are perfect for those roles!"
Li Xiao snorted again. It was indeed a good idea to put all the blame on Poland. First of all, these people do exist. Secondly, these people have been taken over by Count Rostovtsev, and there are enough heads to take them.
Go out to explain, and finally there are vague signs of trouble in Poland since the failure of the last European Revolution. Nicholas I has been trying to find an excuse to beat them, and now he has an excuse.
Well, Count Rostovtsev is really impeccable in his work. He arranges every aspect and everyone is clearly arranged. He is like an orderly director, asking all the actors to follow the instructions obediently.
His request created a wonderful drama.
From this aspect, the earl is really powerful, at least Li Xiao doesn't think he is at this level. Compared with the earl, he can only be considered as a trickster, or at most a little whimsical.
"When will Grand Duke Constantine understand this truth?" Li Xiao suddenly asked.
Count Rostovtsev replied without raising his eyelids: "Didn't you say that he has a very powerful adviser named Prozolov beside him?"
Li Xiao hummed, he really didn't want to mention this half-brother, that one made him feel awkward, and sometimes he wished he didn't know this guy at all.
"It seems like you don't have a good impression of this brother!"
Count Rostovtsev's words shocked Li Xiao. After all, he had not told anyone else about Viscount Prozolov's relationship with him. Even Alexei's close friends did not know about their relationship.
It's a real relationship, but this count just knows it. Is this person clairvoyant? How come he knows everything?
Count Rostovtsev grinned a little wider, which showed that he was particularly happy with this topic. He smiled and said: "Don't you think that Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich's romantic affair was so bad?"
Very hidden, right?"
Li Xiao was speechless again. He didn't quite understand why Count Rostovtsev wanted to say this specifically. After all, his cheap guy had died long ago. What else could he say about his romantic debt?
"Not only do I know it, but His Majesty also knows it, and even Count Uvarov and other powerful officials know it!"
The explanation given by Count Rostovtsev made Li Xiao instantly more and more unhappy. It had been an open secret for a long time, but there was one thing he was confused about. Since so many people knew it, what about Constance?
Does Grand Duke Ding know?
Count Rostovtsev did not answer directly, but asked: "What do you think?"
Li Xiao thought a lot for a moment. Considering the shady nature of Nicholas I's family, the fat man who liked to tell fables probably knew about it, but he deliberately pretended not to know. If he thought so, that
The little fat man looks more and more sinister!
"This is the royal family, isn't it normal?" Count Rostovtsev said easily, "Don't underestimate your opponent too much. For example, you have been thinking about how to make Grand Duke Constantine realize how to do it right.
In fact, you don’t need to worry too much about him. With his ability and education, you will realize it soon..."
While he was talking, Sergei knocked on the door and walked in quietly. He respectfully handed a folded note to Count Rostovtsev. The count opened the note and took a look at it, then just put it away.
Waving his hand, he handed the note to Li Xiao after Sergey went out.
"Let's see!"
The content of the note was very simple. It only said one thing, that is, Grand Duke Constantine had secretly contacted Count Shuvalov, and the two sides briefly bumped heads.
Although the note did not state why the two people met and what they talked about after the meeting, Li Xiao knew that it didn't matter whether he wrote or not, because the two people who were mortal enemies chose to meet, which meant that they realized that continuing to do this
Continuing the confrontation will not bring good results. I am afraid that these two people are conspiring to negotiate and are already thinking about ending it.
Li Xiao handed the note back to Count Rostovtsev, who calmly burned the note. After it was burned to ashes and the ashes were crushed, he raised his head and said: "How is it? Kostya
Did it surprise you?"
Li Xiao sighed and said: "A little bit, but it's not too surprising. Although he is a bit ambitious but short-handed, it is undeniable that he has been honed over the years and he still has a good sense of politics. Otherwise, he would not be so capable!"
