After receiving Count Rostovtsev's message, Li Xiao became depressed, not because he owed a favor. It was because Count Rostovtsev's overall plan for him was disrupted. According to his plan, the whole plan would be completely revealed.
The hypocritical mask of Alexander II or the Romanov family was exposed as their true colors as scumbags.
This would deal a major blow to Alexander II, not to mention injuring his muscles and bones, but at least it would give him a black nose and a swollen face. If nothing else, it would at least give him a bad breath.
But the strong entry of Count Rostovtsev directly destroyed his ambitions. Now this matter can only be done according to his request. He must not make any small moves to stimulate Alexander II, and honestly wait for the news to pass before sending Vladimir off.
Duke Mir went abroad to seek refuge.
This was not in line with Li Xiao's expectations at all, but of course it was much better than his original plan in terms of safety, and it was quite friendly to the coward Duke Vladimir.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xiao could only accept this result. After all, this messy matter was not his own business. The parties concerned were Duke Vladimir and Countess Maria Murapova. At most, he could be regarded as a voluntary helper.
.
Perhaps this result was not particularly perfect for Countess Maria Murapova. Li Xiao could see that she actually wanted to get along with Alexander II and let him know that women were not easy to mess with.
But this woman's madness is actually limited, and she may not choose to fight to the death, so she should be able to accept it according to Count Rostovtsev's request.
As for Duke Vladimir, it was a surprise to him to get this result. I believe he was particularly willing to leave prison immediately and change his country to pursue his career.
I just don’t know if this guy has the travel expenses to run away. With his financial situation of not having enough to eat, it is more likely that he will be hungry and cold when he goes abroad, not to live in luxury and debauchery.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao suddenly felt that it was not so difficult to accept the request of Count Rostovtsev.
He said to Victoria: "The matter has basically come to an end. After a while, maybe one month or two months, we can send the Duke away and let him leave Russia temporarily to avoid the limelight. Maybe he can come back in a few years!"
"
Victoria was taken aback. Recently, this incident has made her sleepless and sleepless, fearing that one day she would wake up and hear the news that Duke Vladimir had been shot or died unexpectedly.
Now that Li Xiao told her that everything was over, she suddenly felt that a big stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground. She staggered and started to sway, and Li Xiao quickly supported her and placed her on the sofa.
Li Xiao quickly comforted him: "Are you okay? Although this news is not very good, it is not particularly bad. Going abroad is not that troublesome..."
Victoria sighed and smiled: "You misunderstood. I am very satisfied with the result. Thank you for taking a huge risk to help me... I don't even know how to thank you!"
Li Xiao then realized that the psychological pressure caused by offending the Tsar was unimaginable to ordinary people. God knows how much pressure Victoria has been under these days. Look, she has lost a lot of weight. The babyish look on her face has been reduced a lot.
The fat is completely invisible, which makes her temperament even more unique and beautiful.
"I told you a long time ago that there is no need to say anything like this again. We are friends and there is no need to say any words of thanks." Li Xiao said to her easily: "If you really want to thank me, just come with me."
I can’t find a suitable partner for Alexey’s dance right now.”
Victoria smiled. She knew that it was actually too easy for Li Xiao to find a dance partner. Even if he was not a romantic partner, there were a lot of aristocratic women willing to join him because of his status and financial resources.
If a girl of her status wants to win Li Xiao's attention, she really needs to sacrifice herself. But someone has no intention of doing so and always treats her equally and treats her as a friend rather than a plaything.
To be honest, Victoria didn't even understand how she won this precious friendship. Sometimes she would wonder if Li Xiao coveted her beauty, but this time it was clear that she had become a piece of cake on the chopping board.
As long as Li Xiao is willing, she really can't refuse.
But he still didn't do anything that exceeded the rules. He was still as well-behaved as before. He was really the most gentlemanly person Victoria had ever seen. Sometimes Victoria even hoped that Li Xiao wouldn't be such a gentleman.
questionable.
Victoria's face turned red for a moment, and she felt extremely shy about the thoughts that came to her mind. Her heart was beating so hard that she could only bury her face in her hands. Is this love?
Li Xiao didn't quite understand Victoria's shy reaction. The focus of his attention was on how the incident would end.
Although Count Rostovtsev said that everyone should continue to behave and it would be over when the news passed. But he knew very well that he must not take it lightly when facing Alexander II. The power in the hands of the emperor was too great, which made countless
Bad-hearted bastards all try to curry favor with the emperor to gain glory and wealth.
Even if Alexander II has said that this matter can be abandoned, there will definitely be careerists who are trying to flatter the Czar and be paying attention.
If they catch a flaw, they will pounce on you in groups like jackals, bite you crazily and eat you alive.
So the more careful you are at this time, because the danger always comes when you relax your vigilance.
But compared with this, what troubled Li Xiao more was the issue of favors. According to Count Rostovtsev, he owed favors, and the count especially reminded him to pay attention to paying back the favors.
Based on Li Xiao's understanding of Count Rostovtsev, he was definitely not joking. If he was asked to return the favor, there must be something for him to do.
As for the things related to that count, to be honest, there is no big thing that would scare people to death if you tell them. Moreover, the way he does things is very fucked up. He always plays you like a puppet on strings, and you don't even think about it until the last moment.
knows what he wants to do.
Li Xiao doesn't have any masochistic tendencies, and he really doesn't want to be played like a monkey by Count Rostovtsev. But that person's words were very clear, and there is no possibility of rejection at all. Just tell me that he is just helping the girl a little bit.
You're busy, why did you just let yourself in?
With a sigh, Li Xiao rubbed his temples, forcing himself not to think about this trouble for the time being, and then spread out the letter paper and started writing a letter to David LeBoeuf...
