William's orders were always implemented quickly. After receiving the order, Buell immediately led the royal guards to blockade the entire Sanssouci Palace. Not only that, even the Potsdam garrison was quickly mobilized after the order was issued.
Although it seems that such a big battle is a bit of a fuss, the residents of Potsdam can still understand it. After all, the impact of the Gnode case on Prussia is too great. At this time, if there are crazy remnants who want to
Sneaking into Potsdam to cause trouble wouldn't bring trouble to everyone, so the residents of Potsdam didn't have any objections to this.
William's eyes were not only on Louise and Ferdinand, but also on Locks. According to the law, unless the two agreed to give up their status as regents, the two regents would be until William came of age.
Has the supreme power of domination.
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother has not eaten for two days. I miss you..."
Buell walked into William's study and whispered, and his words made William stand up suddenly, and then William ran out.
"Mother, I think we need to talk."
William pushed the door and walked into Louise's room. Louise was sitting alone on a chair in the room. When she heard the door knock, Louise's head lifted slightly, but then dropped again.
"Mother, Gernaud is just a distant relative of yours. Do you need to care about him like this?"
Seeing Louise's dejected appearance, William shouted with some distress. It was obvious that William's shout made Louise's body tremble.
"Mother, are you going to abandon your son for a Gnod?"
Seeing that Louise seemed to have a reaction, William quickly asked another question. As soon as he finished speaking, Louise raised her head and looked at William blankly, with tears in her eyes.
"William, my child..."
"Mother, I..."
William suddenly felt a little choked up. Obviously Louise's current appearance made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"When I was young, one sudden afternoon, Gernold walked into the palace of Hesse. My mother took me to meet Gernold because of relatives."
Louise's murmur sounded in William's ears
"Gnold was very sunny at that time. His smile made me feel warm when we first met him in junior high school. Because my mother taught me strictly, the only person I came into contact with in the palace at that time was someone of the same age who was not my immediate family member.
It was Gnod. After that, our relationship progressed very well, and he became a good friend who I talked about everything. But what I didn't expect was that one time Gnod actually came to my father rashly and proposed to marry me.
The idea of becoming a wife, of course, his proposal was rejected by my father, who felt that Gnold was not worthy of me at all.
My mood was very complicated at the time. It was undeniable that I did have a good impression of Gnod. I even thought that if nothing else happened, it might be a good choice for me to become Gnod's bride."
William was stunned by Louise's words. He didn't expect that there were so many inside stories in them.
"After that, your father, the then Crown Prince Wilhelm, proposed to me on behalf of Prussia. My father was very happy because he felt that this might be a key step in strengthening the relationship between Hesse and Prussia. I was very resistant to my father's order.
, I even had a fierce quarrel with my father once, you know I have always been a very obedient child. Haha,,"
As she said that, Louise smiled bitterly, and then she saw William's hesitant expression. Louise continued calmly:
"There is nothing between Gnord and I. Perhaps we want to prevent anything from happening between us. The first thing my father did after confirming my engagement with your father was to drive Gnod out of Hesse.
You don’t know how desperate I was when I cried. Although Gnod and I didn’t fall in love, liking each other is inevitable.”
Louise's explanation made William very relieved. He didn't want anything to happen between his mother and that good-for-nothing Gnod.
"Perhaps your father's philandering was also the result of my indulgence. After marrying into Prussia, I never treated your father with pretense. At that time, I thought that I was just a tool for the marriage between Hesse and Prussia. So at that time, I
I was very unhappy with your father, but what I didn’t expect was that just after your father died, Gernaud actually found Sanssouci Palace. In Sanssouci Palace, Gernaud told me that after he left Hesse, he
He came to Prussia because he hoped to see me again suddenly, and he had never forgotten me in his heart."
As she talked, Louise was already crying, but William was turning blue. This was a real bloody drama, and now it actually appeared in the Prussian royal family. It was really unpredictable!
"Out of guilt for Gnod, or nostalgia for my past, I personally arranged for Gnod to be moved to Brandenburg. Although I know Gnod's abilities are limited, I hope he can be happy.
Complete life"
After taking the handkerchief handed over by William, Louise wiped the tears from her eyes, and then choked and said
"Actually, I knew it when I first started this business in Gnord. At that time, Gnode came to me for help. He told me that if I didn't help him, he would be forced to death. He wanted me to
I was able to save him, so I felt soft-hearted and helped him say hello to several relevant people."
William was shocked. He did not expect Louise to be involved in the case, and she could be regarded as one of the masterminds.
"But what I didn't expect was that Gnold seemed to be addicted. The promise he made to me turned out to be empty words. By the time I sent someone to investigate again, Gnold had already done many wrong things.
At that time, I hesitated in my heart whether to tell you, but I really couldn’t stand Genod’s pleading, ugh..."
Looking at the crying figure of Louise, William's mood was very complicated. From a national perspective, Louise was undoubtedly very irresponsible. She tolerated Gnold's gang time and time again to betray the interests of the country.
But from a personal point of view, Louise is indeed a sad woman. Although it cannot be ruled out that Gernaud deliberately wanted to be a charlatan, after all, he was the first man to leave traces in Louise's heart, and a person regardless of
Men and women will never forget the first person of the opposite sex they had a crush on in their lives.
Therefore, Louise can be said to be pathetic and deplorable, and she can only blame fate.
Sometimes it is like this. Meeting the wrong person at the right time is a sigh. Meeting the right person at the right time is a lifetime of happiness. Meeting the right person at the wrong time is a heartbreak.
Meeting the wrong person at the right time is a lifetime of absurdity.
"Mother, forget it, don't be sad. It's not worth being sad for people like Gnod. You'd better eat something."
Seeing that Louise was silent, William clapped his hands and shouted to come in. After a while, Buell walked in.
"Go find some food and bring it up, and go get some cider."
Cider is a drink produced in Hesse. Of course, it is also an alcoholic beverage with an alcohol content of 5-6% and a rich taste. As the princess of Hesse, Louise likes this hometown drink very much.
Drink some, that’s why William mentioned it emphatically.
Sure enough, after the food was pushed in, Louise didn't do anything else. She poured a glass of cider and drank it. After drinking a few glasses, Louise's cheeks were stained with some blush.
"William, when you grow up, I think the regent status granted to me by the parliament is no longer necessary. Tomorrow I will talk to Lockes. If he agrees, I will apply to the parliament to revoke the regent.
Position"
Hearing what Louise said, William's heart dropped. To be honest, this regent identity was indeed a big bomb. If it was not good, not only William but even the whole of Prussia would be blown to pieces.
"William, I want to remind you one thing. You must beware of this old fox Rocks. This old fox has known about Gnod for a long time. Although I don't know why, he has never mentioned it. When I called him
One of the people I took care of was a disciple of Rocks. Of course, I only found out about this relationship later, so William, you must be careful."
Louise's words dropped a bombshell in William's heart. Just when William wanted to ask again, Louise was already drowsy. Seeing this, William helped Louise to the bedside, and then
She covered herself with quilt and left.
After walking out of the room, William looked at Buell who was waiting on the side and suddenly said:
"Buel, what do you think of Prime Minister Rocks?"
Buell was shocked, obviously William's question was difficult for him to answer.
"Well, Duke Locks is a diligent man who serves his country..."
William was not satisfied with Buell's answer.
"Buel, I want you to tell the truth!"
William's questioning made Buer grit his teeth. Then he looked around and walked to William's left ear and said softly:
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are either a traitor and a traitor, or you are a traitor and a traitor!"
Hearing Buell's answer, William felt relieved. Obviously, Buell's words were in line with Rocks' performance, which at least showed that Buell was quite pertinent.
This made William, who had become a little sensitive because of the Gnod case, a little relieved. Gnod was involved in so many stories. This was something William did not expect at first. Louise just said that Rocks already knew that Jean
William was very shocked.
Why did Rocks, who already knew about Gnod's secret activities, not reveal anything? Could it be that he wanted to wait until the matter could no longer be concealed before taking action, and then use this to undermine the prestige of Louise and even William?
