At the moment when Henry II was beheaded from his horse, a flash of his life flashed before his eyes.From being neglected in childhood to being depressed in middle age, the Valois king felt that there seemed to be no smooth day in his life.Even if he is the most powerful figure in France, he can't change people's involuntary in society.

After the King of France was stabbed by a Spanish knight, there were screams and cries for help from the viewing platform.

"Your Majesty...!??"

"Don't block me, you people, hurry up and save His Majesty the King!"

Henry II who fell into the mud only felt that his brain was split into unequal multiple lobes by the sudden dull pain and the noisy attacks from all directions.

He glanced at the viewing platform again before passing out.

Among the women who stood up and exclaimed, Catherine de' Medici, who was sitting upright, looked at him coldly, with a faint smile on her face.

"Let the court doctor come over quickly, then press this guy down and torture him carefully." The Duke of Montmorency, who arrived first, pushed aside the waste surrounding Henry II, so as not to block them from the fresh air, and the way of latecomers.

The Duke of Alva stepped forward to stop the French guards, wanting to arrest the Spanish knight who had just confronted Henry II, and questioned the Duke of Montmorency: "Is it the quality of the French who can't afford to lose? Your Excellency, we all know In the tournament, no matter who you are, you have to accept God's arrangement."

After all, the Duke of Alva glanced at the nobles present, and said loudly: "I implore the Duke of Montmorency not to tarnish the honor of the King of France, let alone let the friendship between the two countries be inexplicably frosted."

"Your Excellency, you are making unreasonable words." The Duke of Montmorency couldn't figure out the unspoken rules of the tournament, so under the aggressiveness of the Duke of Alva, he could only hold back such a sentence with his face flushed.

And when the Duke of Montmorency was about to fight the Duke of Alva, Catherine de' Medici finally came belatedly and said: "Your Excellency, do you think the life of the King of France is not as important as a Spanish knight?"

The Duke of Montmorency never expected that Catherine de' Medici would make an attack at this time, but when he looked at the Duke of Guise with a half-smile in his eyes, he immediately understood that the unknown French queen had already married Guise. The duke reached an alliance, and waited for Henry II to throw his legs into prison in the name of regent.

No, this is by no means the time to contradict Catherine de' Medici.

The Duke of Montmorency, who has been in the political arena for decades, knows very well how powerful the powerful Guise family can be combined with the Queen Mother Regent.

Judging from Henry II's current situation, even if God undoubtedly took away the King of France, he would not be able to perform his duties as king.

It is estimated that after the court doctors tried their best to save Henry II's life, he would have to stay in bed for the rest of his life.

…………… I am the dividing line……………

"Are you sure that Henry was not fatally wounded and will wake up soon?" Catherine de' Medici watched the court doctor treat Henry II's fatal wound with cold eyes.

The act of directly using the knife on the pierced right cheek and thigh scared some young ladies who were made more delicate by the waist, and Catherine de' Medici, who did not blink, said extremely annoyed: " Throw them out."

"These chirping sparrows are pretending in front of the king's hospital bed, are they crying for the king? Shut up."

At this moment, Catherine de Medici finally realized the power that belongs to the queen.

Diane de Poitiers, who was squeezed behind, wanted to see the king's current situation, but was blocked by the Duke of Montmorency.

"Madame, your time has passed, so please leave the Louvre quickly before the queen lays hands on you!" The Duke of Montmorency drove Diane de Poitiers and other women in the house together. After leaving the king's room, he said sincerely to this former ally: "If the queen wants to do something to you, your best choice is to obey, not resist."

Diane de Poitiers looked at the Duke of Montmorency in disbelief, and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, are you going to give up His Majesty the King?"

"It's not that I want to give up His Majesty the King, but His Majesty the King has given up on himself." The Duke of Montmorency looked at Diane de Poitier's unbelievable appearance and knew that this man had been in the court for more than ten years. It is difficult for a woman to accept the fact that she will be oppressed when she is old: "Madam, I am a well-trained soldier, so I know exactly how serious His Majesty's injuries are."

The Duke of Montmorency pulled Diane de Poitiers to a secluded corner, and then told her the real situation of the king: "His Majesty has a non-fatal penetrating wound on his cheek, and his thigh and arm are also falling. The fractures in the rear of the horse are severe, and it is estimated that he will be permanently disabled."

"Yes, even if the court doctor tries his best to pull His Majesty the king out of the arms of death, he will become a living corpse that cannot speak or move." The description of the Duke of Montmorency made Diane de Poitiers trembled all over, and a series of bad ideas emerged in his mind.

"So madam, please hurry up and leave!" The Duke of Montmorency urged: "If you hesitate a little now, you will face a situation that will never be restored."

Diane de Poitiers did not hesitate to leave the Louvre, and the Duke of Montmorency breathed a sigh of relief, praying that the next change of power would not cause chaos.

…………… I am the dividing line……………

When Henry II awoke from excruciating pain, sitting beside Catherine de' Medici praying for him, and a silent Isabelle de Limoy, the suspicious King of France was deeply moved. Feel bad.

Where are Diane de Poitiers and the Duke of Montmorency?

Henry II, who couldn't see his confidant and lover, whimpered for unknown reason on the bed. It's a pity that no matter how hard he tried, he could only move a small part of his body, and even the pain caused the veins on his neck to bulge because of the wound. .

"Why, as soon as you woke up, you wanted to find your old lover, and then find a chance to put me in prison?" Seeing Henry II's crippled appearance, Catherine de' Medici felt a twist in her heart With perverted pleasure, he stretched out his right hand and pressed Henry II's wound through the bandage.

In the terrified eyes of Isabelle de Limoil.

Henry II on the hospital bed was tossed to death by Catherine de' Medici.

When the court doctor came in to change the king's bandages, the king's face was already pale, his lips were chapped and he could not make any sound.
