Nicholas I suddenly felt confident. It would be better to persuade people to give up than to raise the threshold to force them to voluntarily give up. As long as he raised the threshold for becoming the governor of Wallachia, for example, he explained a few difficult tasks and frightened Xiao A.
Dreberg, that guy will probably give in!
His mood immediately improved, and the look in Count Rostovtsev's eyes was so gentle, obviously he was extremely satisfied.
This shocked Count Kleinmicher on the other side, because only he knew that everything was under the control of Count Rostovtsev, and Nicholas I was simply like a puppet on a string.
A terrible count was wandering around.
Yesterday, Count Rostovtsev suddenly came to him and told him that he needed a favor. After helping both parties, the two parties were reconciled, and then taught him the above words. At that time, he thought that the count was playing tricks on him.
If Crown Prince Alexander really wanted to give little Adlerberg a push, Nicholas I would not refuse.
But who would have thought that what happened next was all expected by Count Rostovtsev, and everything was developing according to his predictions. Such a person is really terrible!
For a time, he became deeply afraid of Count Rostovtsev. In his eyes, this count was an out-and-out devil. He told himself to hide as far away as possible from this count in the future.
Well, he not only wanted to warn himself, but most importantly, he also wanted to warn Neridova that this woman liked to get involved in court affairs too much, and she might fall into the hands of that count again one day.
"Is Count Rostovtsev really that powerful? Did he really anticipate the reactions of His Majesty and the ministers, and then manipulate them into applause?"
When asking these questions, Neridova's eyes were twinkling with stars. It was obvious that she was more interested in Count Rostovtsev. Of course, this interest was not the kind of interest between men and women, but in career.
that interest
Neridova was not a particularly ambitious woman. She had never thought about the tricks of the mistress to get the upper hand, because she knew Nicholas I too well. This majesty seemed affectionate but was actually a ruthless master. He had more in mind.
He is driven by desire rather than true feelings. Moreover, he clings to face and tries hard to maintain the illusion of being a great monarch.
You can only discuss money and interests with him in business terms, never talk about feelings, otherwise you will not be disappointed but deeply despaired.
And Neridova also knew that the queen was not as ignorant and weak as she seemed. These things were all disguises of the mistress. She relied on these to make Nicholas I feel guilty and make Nicholas I feel that he owed her, thus
Firmly establish your position.
In fact, this woman is far less weak than she appears, and she does not tolerate anyone provoking her status and authority as a queen. Anyone who dares to provoke a mistress will have tragic consequences, and Neridova does not want to be the next one.
In fact, she has been trembling in the court these years? If it were not for the help of Count Kleinmicher and the obsession of Nicholas I? It is very likely that she would have been driven out of favor by the kind and weak queen. Because no one can
Enjoying the favor of Nicholas I for a long time, the queen would never allow anything that would lead to long-lasting love to happen.
In this terrible palace? Neridova is more often helpless. She has to be on guard against all kinds of open and hidden attacks every day. For her, if there is someone like Count Rostovtsev
An unpredictable ally? Life will be much easier.
Count Kleinmicher was startled by the idea of Nelidova. He has an uncontested character. If not for the woman he loves? He is really unwilling to stay in this palace full of conspiracies and calculations.
I don't want to deal with a group of old cunts who are plotting against others all day long.
For Count Kleinmicher, peace and safety are better than anything else. If possible, he really hopes that Neridova will fall out of favor and leave this terrible place, as far away as possible.
Obviously this is unrealistic? Because not only was Nicholas I obsessed with Nelidova as if he had seen a ghost? It was impossible to let Nelidova go. And no mistress in history who lost the emperor's favor could spend the rest of his life safely.
.
Those monster-like nobles inside and outside the palace would swarm Neridova like vultures who found carrion. Especially Neridova’s enemies and rivals would not let her have an easy time. It can be said that
Ever since entering this palace, there has been no peace.
But Count Kleinmicher still has a little extravagant hope. He does not expect Neridova to leave safely, but he hopes that Neridova can blend in safely in the palace. Can she not be the most favored one? But
Nor will they be persecuted for falling out of favor.
According to his idea, they don't take the initiative to cause trouble? Nor do they take the initiative to participate in those fatal things. They just shrink up like a hedgehog to save their lives.
But now Neridova actually has the idea of making friends with Count Rostovtsev? If she has the idea of alliance with this terrible count, isn't she actively inviting trouble?
Count Kleinmicher couldn't accept it? Nor could he understand it? He objected strongly: "Do you know what that count wants to do? Do you know?"
Looking at the furious Count Kleinmicher? Neridova replied very calmly: "You can probably guess that he is behind the scenes and has been manipulating some things secretly. Either he wants to subvert it all or
I want to plan a big change!"
Count Kleinmicher could not understand Neridova's calmness at all, because he felt that both subversion and major changes were very dangerous and tantamount to rebellion. The fate of the last group of Decembrists who tried to rebel was still the same
Aren’t you afraid of living examples?
"Afraid! Why aren't you afraid? I'm scared to death!" Neridova was still so calm. She said coldly: "Don't forget that my best friend is the wife of Duke Volkonsky. They lived in Siberia.
I know exactly what day it is!"
Count Kleinmicher was stunned, grabbed Nelidova's hand, and said anxiously: "Then you still want to get involved?! Are you crazy?"
Neridova looked at Count Kleinmicher calmly and replied calmly: "I'm not crazy! It's this depressing and gloomy palace that wants to drive me crazy! I'm suffering every minute here.
, instead of being slowly driven crazy like this, it’s better to gamble happily. Even if I lose, I will go to Siberia and become a wandering free man. At least I won’t be suffocated there!”
