Eagle's Glory

"Yes, all right—" His Majesty the Emperor nodded, "It's good enough to settle accounts with someone."

The hidden meaning of this sentence made Xia Lu lose her mind.

"I had nothing to do with it... You can see I didn't do anything about it." She hastily defended herself.

"Yes, of course, why would Queen Teresa find a ten-year-old child to plot?" Aigron nodded with a smile, and then immediately changed the topic, "But, your aunt, Ms. Agnes, However, he clearly participated in this rebellion, and also inflicted violence on me—Xia Lu, what crime do you think this is?"

Only now did Xia Lu know what happened that night.

Of course she knew what kind of crime this was, but she had been taken care of by Agnes since she was a child, and she had the utmost respect for this beautiful and strong aunt, so how could she be willing to see her executed for treason?

"Your Majesty... Aunt Agnes committed a serious crime, but think about it, she has been with you for so long, don't you still know her temper? She must have been instigated by someone and committed it on the spur of the moment Such a crime... I dare not ask you to forgive her, but I ask you to forgive her a little for the sake of the relationship between you and her..."

"It's up to me whether to forgive her or not, but you'd better take care of yourself now—" His Majesty said coldly, "Xia Lu, your aunt is rebellious, and your mother may be involved—even if She didn't participate in it, at least she acquiesced to her sister's crime afterwards, so where is your position in it? Which side did you support during these two months?"

Does that need to be said?Of course they supported the victor's side!Anyway, whoever wins, the Bonaparte family will continue to be the emperor, and it will not hurt him at all-of course Xia Lu dare not tell the truth to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, don't you believe me?" She smiled reluctantly, then opened her blue eyes wide, and shook her head innocently, trying to act like a spoiled child to His Majesty the Emperor, in order to arouse his love for her before, " Your Majesty, how can you doubt my respect and admiration for you?"

"Really?" His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his hand and gently stroked the top of her head as usual, "I believe you, Xia Lu, you have always been a good boy."

Xia Lu felt relieved immediately.

But before she could act coquettishly again, His Majesty the Emperor changed the subject again, "Then how about I give you a chance to prove your innocence?"

"You...what do you mean?" Xia Lu felt a chill, and she had a premonition of what would happen next.

"You go find a way to find Agnes and have her arrested, so as to prove the innocence of you, your mother, and the Treville family. If you do it, I think you are indeed innocent, how about it? ? Is that reasonable enough?" Eggron asked.

Then, he stared at Xia Lu closely.

Xia Lu knows that this is definitely not a tone of discussion, but an order, an order that cannot be resisted.

And do you have a choice now?no choice.

His Majesty the Emperor regained his health and appeared in front of everyone, so no one in the empire could resist his will.

"Yes, I understand..." She bowed her head and waited for the order.

Although on the surface she obeyed the order, she was very angry in her heart.

Now that His Majesty the Emperor has regained power, he has countless ways to capture Aunt Agnes, why did he choose himself?

Because... he knew that the harm from his closest relatives was the most able to make Aunt Agnes unable to resist.

You bastard, I will definitely not make it easier for you in the future... The young Xia Lu thought angrily while lowering her head and weeping.　　

14. Flowers and full moon

Although her heart was full of pain and resentment, Xia Lu had no choice but to accept His Majesty's order.

From a moral point of view, it is only natural for His Majesty the Emperor to punish Aunt Agnes for her participation in such a terrible treasonous conspiracy. Moreover, His Majesty gave her family a chance to make up for her mistakes and clean herself up, which is truly magnanimous. .

But emotionally speaking, Xia Lu is not at all willing to be the messenger who brings bad news to Aunt Agnes and the tool to make her sad.

But she has no choice.

Now that His Majesty the Emperor has seen the light of day again, he has regained power—Xia Lu doesn't know what is going on with Her Majesty the Empress, but she knows that once Her Majesty the Emperor shows up in front of her cronies and courtiers, and shows that she is still sane Sober, then the vast majority of people in the power center will obey him immediately and unconditionally.

This is the unbreakable prestige he has established in the hearts of his followers after he started his business all the way. Even Her Majesty the Queen can only temporarily borrow it and cannot replace it.

All along, His Majesty the Emperor has been kind and kind to Xia Lu, and many people can see it, so they also respect Xia Lu, no matter how domineering Xia Lu is in the court, no one dares to say anything more.

But when His Majesty showed a slightly angry face, Xia Lu found that she was still so weak, not to mention the ability to resist, she didn't even dare to think of resisting.

This is the reality - I am attached to His Majesty the Emperor and the Bonaparte Dynasty, and the capital I can fly and domineering is nothing more than the joy and anger of His Majesty the Emperor. He can give it, and he can take it back at any time.

Power does not really mean possessing power. Many people are obviously only accessories of power, but they often think that they are irreplaceable, so they are arrogant and domineering. When the people they depend on abandon themselves, they can only become sad victims immediately. And powerless to resist - there have been too many vivid examples in history.

Xia Lu doesn't want to be one of them.

Therefore, if you want to really do whatever you want, you must truly have power, and it is worth paying more for it—Xia Lu secretly swears in her heart.

The ups and downs of the past two months, coupled with the few words that His Majesty the Emperor said lightly but made her unable to resist, further educated this precocious ten-year-old girl.

If you want to have power, you must first let the Treville family stand upright, no matter how much you pay for it.

So, Aunt Agnes... sorry.

Xia Lu took a group of people assigned to her by His Majesty the Emperor, and left the Palace of Fontainebleau in a carriage together, and then came to a manor on the outskirts of Paris.

This manor looks inconspicuous, but the environment is quite quiet, surrounded by small gardens as barriers, it is a bit bleak in this early spring season.

The mighty carriages and a group of cavalry suddenly approached, which naturally disturbed the people in the manor, but they quickly returned to calm.

"Miss Xia Lu, please." The young man sitting next to Xia Lu urged in a low voice.

He is Andre Davout, Duke of Lepanto, His Majesty's Chief of Guards, and one of His Majesty's most trusted confidantes. He is not only responsible for the protection of His Majesty, but also responsible for the communication channels between the palace and the military.

He was imprisoned in the previous coup launched by Queen Teresa and suffered a lot. His Majesty the Emperor restored his personal freedom and immediately released this confidant.

Following His Majesty's order, he came with Miss Xia Lu.

On the surface, Xia Lu is an imperial envoy ordered by the emperor to arrest Agnes, but in fact, André Davout is the actual executor of the arrest. On the one hand, he is responsible for monitoring Xia Lu, on the other hand, he is I'm preparing for the eventuality.

As we all know, Miss Agnes is very skilled, and His Majesty the Emperor issued a death order, and Miss Agnes must be brought back intact and healthy, so André Davout had to avoid any armed conflict.

Therefore, Miss Xia Lu is the insurance, or the hostage, to ensure that Agnes will not resist by force.

André Davout can naturally understand His Majesty's deep meaning, and his friendship over the years has also allowed him to understand Miss Agnes. He believes that under such circumstances, Agnes will never make a move. aggressive.

The only thing he couldn't figure out was why Miss Agnes, who was so beloved by His Majesty, would do such a thing?

Thinking of what happened before, André Davout, who had just recovered his freedom, couldn't restrain his anger.

Rebellious!Shameless betrayal!

He couldn't accept that these two people closest to His Majesty would do such a crazy thing.

He barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and then took Xia Lu out of the carriage.

At this time, the gate of the manor opened, and Xia Lu, André Davout, and the group of guards rushed in together.

There was no exchange of fire, and the manor was so quiet that they even thought Agnes had already fled.

However, when they came to the living room together, they found that their target had not fled, but was sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace.

Maybe it's because she just took a bath, her skin is fairer than usual, she only wears a plain long dress, her wet hair is combed into a ponytail and draped behind her back, her face is crystal clear under the firelight, looking simple And without losing its softness.

"Be quiet, don't disturb the children." Seeing this group of people, she said calmly.

Seeing the long-lost Miss Agnes, André Davout felt mixed feelings.

There is both anger and regret; there is both puzzlement and ridicule.

Don't you understand what happened by now?

"Ms. Agnes, I am here to arrest you by the order of His Majesty, please follow me back to Fontainebleau." He put down his thoughts and said to the other party coldly, "Please follow us immediately, the futile resistance It will only make the consequences more unmanageable."

Agnes didn't answer him, just gave him a contemptuous glance.

André Davout froze.

Then, he sighed, "I have always respected you, and I don't want to see this happen more than anyone else, but since the big mistake has been made, you must bear the corresponding consequences. Please come with me , as long as you are willing to admit your mistakes and plead for mercy, maybe His Majesty will soften your heart and give you a lenient sentence..."

"Shut up," Agnes interrupted impatiently.

Then, her eyes moved to Xia Lu's face, and then immediately softened again.

"Xia Lu, you are becoming more and more like Alice." Then, she expressed emotion.

"Aunt Agnes..." Xia Lu wanted to harden her heart and say what Andre said just now, but she swallowed even more when she said it, and finally she could only cry silently.

"Stop talking, I understand." Agnes gave her a gentle smile, "He sent you here at this time just to let people see this scene. So don't cry, we don't want people to see jokes. "

Xia Lu lowered her head, sobbing softly, she knew that there was no point in saying anything.

She must show a gesture of righteousness and severance in front of others.

"Please... please come back with me." She tremblingly said, "Stop making unnecessary resistance. You have offended His Majesty. Although France is big, there is no place for it. Besides, even if you can leave, we... ...what can we do?"

Perhaps some memory was touched by her words, Agnes frowned slightly and complained softly.

"It's these words again... It's because of you that he has nothing to fear!"

Then, she herself felt that she had lost her composure, so she smiled apologetically at Xia Lu, "My good boy, I don't blame you, with your tears, I am already satisfied."

Then, she stood up, and walked towards Xia Lu and his party with empty hands.

André Davout and others looked at her with high vigilance, preventing her from overtaking Xia Lu and then fleeing, but Agnes did not make any drastic moves, just leaned down and kissed her niece on the cheek .

"Help me take care of my sister."

"Aunt...I'm sorry." Xia Lu cried more and more sadly, and she hugged Agnes tightly, "Please plead with Your Majesty, Queen Teresa must have planned and ordered all of this, you are just confused ..."

"No, Xia Lu, I can't do this." Before she finished speaking, Agnes covered her mouth with her hand, "Although our family has been relying on others for many years, we should still have some dignity after all. What's the point of begging for mercy like this even if you survived? If you lose, you lose, it's nothing."

"But..." Xia Lu wanted to say something else.

But Agnes had stopped talking and turned to André Davout.

André Davout wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just waved his hand lightly, and then the two female attendants took the ropes they had prepared earlier and tied her up.

Xia Lu watched Aunt Agnes being captured without a fight, heartbroken but powerless, she could only engrave this scene in the deepest part of her memory, reminding herself how terrible power is and how intoxicating it is.

Soon, a group of people boarded the carriage again in the dark, and then returned the same way, the manor returned to the quietness of the past, and everything was gone.

=================================

It was already late at night, and Aigron returned to the bedroom he had been away for a long time.

Now, he is full of vigor and complacency, and his gestures are filled with the pride of the past.

After controlling Teresa, before he appeared before the crowd, it only took him a few hours to successfully "set things right" in the palace, bringing the center of the country back under his control.

Now, he is the one man who speaks for himself in this country again, and no one dares to disobey him any more.

After he opened the door, the two women sitting silently on the sofa inside immediately caught his eyes.

They didn't get up to greet him, nor did they speak, but just sat in their seats with ashen faces, as if ignoring his existence.

They all have beautiful faces and figures, and they are all at the most blooming age in a woman's life. Therefore, although they are expressionless, they still exude youthful and mature charm at the same time.

It's just that at this moment, their bodies are tightly tied up with ropes, which looks shocking, but this does not detract from their charm, but adds a bit of enchanting beauty to this scene.

Aigron quietly looked at the two women who had a deep bond with him, his eyes wandering, and a raging flame began to slowly ignite.

Then, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I really didn't expect that we would meet again like this. Alas, I really don't understand you. Everyone is having a good life, but why do you have to make such a fuss?"

No one answered him, and the two of them seemed to have given up all hope, and just sat in their places with ashen faces.

Aigron was not angry either, but sat carelessly between them, and then embraced one of them with both hands, leaning against himself.

The two started to struggle at the same time, but failed very quickly, and could only let His Majesty the Emperor be presumptuous.

"She should have killed you long ago." Angry, Agnes said bitterly. "If she had been more ruthless, why would we have come to this point? Ugh! You!"

Before she could finish speaking, Aigron kissed her cheek.

Agnes tried to bite his face in a rage, but he easily dodged it.

"My poor Agnes, you had a lot of opportunities at that time, so why didn't you do it?" Agron asked with a smile. "Besides, I heard you plead for me before I fell into a coma."

Agnes blushed, and shouted back at him.

"I'm dizzy and blind!"

Aegron looked at Teresa again.

"Dear Your Majesty, actually... I don't understand why you did this."

"What you are doing now has given me another reason, Your Majesty." Teresa gave him a cold look, "And there have been hundreds of them before, and I wonder why you can't make trouble. I know I'll do it."

Aigron made fun of it, but of course he was not embarrassed or guilty at this time, so he also leveled the bowl of water and kissed Teresa.

Then, he didn't say much anymore, and stretched out his hands to touch the two of them.

Although they were all struggling violently, because of the binding, they still had to let him do whatever he wanted in the end.

Aigron moved his hands gently but mercilessly, and unknowingly, less and less clothes were covering them.

At the end, he took a deep breath, admiring the spring light on the large expanses of their bodies, and the red marks on them from being strangled by the rope.

While Aigron was acting recklessly, he admired the evil deeds he had done. Rather than saying how much physical pleasure it gave him, it would be better to say that the sense of accomplishment made him ecstatic.

Although Teresa's rebellion brought him tragic devastation, in a sense it also allowed him to take revenge on the two of them.
