[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

The woman who sat on Octavia's sedan chair was Scylla, a famous courtesan in the city. However, a few years ago, she was just a nobody under the procuress, but after a notorious match with Messalina, she Not only was he funded by Octavia, but he even became famous and became a guest of high society.

"It's a pretty good deal." When Octavia first negotiated with Scylla, she sarcastically said mercilessly: "If you are a man of Kongwu's strength, you should now play the role at the triumphant return celebration banquet." Dionysus."

"Are you laughing at me as Mark Anthony?" Scylla was a little surprised that Octavia didn't have any respect for her great-grandfather, but when she thought about where her most famous pedigree came from, she was a little relieved and said: "Become Marc Anthony is also good, at least he can live a carnival life for 20 years before he dies."

"Could it be that your goal is just 20 years of good life?" Octavia raised her eyebrows, looked Scylla up and down, and shook her head: "That's not a goal worth risking your life for."

Scylla put away his contempt for Octavia, and said seriously: "Then what do you think my goal is?"

"Become the second Ferrana." Octavia affirmed: "A courtesan who has the financial resources to rebuild the city wall, no matter how much her background is reviled, but her achievements have become a golden sign, which can bring her countless times. A chance to be kissed by Juno."

"The Queen of God is the protector of marriage, but she also protects a woman's money, no matter if the woman is a prostitute or not." Octavia clasped her hands together and said calmly, "You've already cuckolded the emperor, sir. You will not waste a golden signboard with an expiration date for temporary benefits. After all, the glory period of the game is not a city wall that stands forever. If you don’t want to squander Anthony’s 20 years of luck in three or four years, you have to think about it. back road."

Scylla put away his smile and contempt, took a deep look at Octavia, and praised: "If Augustus had a son like you, he would happily cut off Tiberius' head."

"But we are not talking about impossible things, let alone men's things." Octavia admired Scylla's wisdom, and felt that she was like a mysterious sphinx, only let ordinary people see her beautiful without showing ambition at unnecessary moments: "So Scylla, tell me what you want."

"Or, to what extent do you want to cooperate with me?"

"Thanks to you, I am now also a rich prostitute." With the help of Octavia, Scylla, who escaped from the former prostitute, annexed her former owner's territory in less than two years and became a A famous person in Fengyue Field.

After being angry, Claudius admired Octavia's support for Scylla, so he instructed the financial officer Pallas to become Scylla's face protector, so that Octavia could get rid of Scylla. There is a steady stream of information from dignitaries and dignitaries.

It is precisely because of this that Scylla's old master did not dare to let the goddess of justice judge the matter between her and Scylla, but less than three months after her business was swallowed up by Scylla, a poisonous mushroom planted It took her life, and at the same time made Scylla completely at ease, willing to follow Octavia wholeheartedly.

"Becoming a bustard is just your first step, and you know this business better than me." Octavia was not interested in wasting too much time in unprofessional fields, so she urged impatiently: "There is something wrong with you." What special matter? You need to come to me in person."

"Will the matter of little Agrippina interest you?" Scylla's understatement caused Octavia's face to change slightly, and then told Tita: "Let the slaves walk Hurry up, I want to be home before dark."

Not daring to delay, Tita whispered a few words into the ear of the slave who was being driven out, and then Octavia and Scylla felt their seats jolted, and soon arrived at Octavia's mansion.

Octavia invited Scylla to the study, and asked two deaf slaves to guard the door to prevent anyone from entering.

"Why did little Agrippina go to your place?" Octavia poured a glass of grape juice for Scylla herself, watching her cross her legs happily and coquettishly, her eyebrows frowned so much that they could kill flies: "Don't tell His Majesty the Emperor is also there."

"It's really Mo Ruo's daughter who knows her father. The matter of your father and his niece is not a secret here, but it has been suppressed by Pallas." Scylla said charmingly: "It is estimated that your father will Consider divorcing your mother and marrying little Agrippina."

"It's impossible." Octavia said calmly: "If father married Agrippina, then according to the rules, Nero would have to be adopted into the Claudius family. In terms of blood, Nero is the The orthodoxy of Augustus, my father will not let Brittanicus, or my son, succeed to the throne."

Even though Octavia is deeply trusted by Claudius, the patriarchal ancient Roman society still prefers father to son.

Octavia is just the anchor of Claudius' luck, not his best choice.

In contrast, when Brittany Kus was just sensible, Claudius hugged him to inspect the army and let him show his face in front of the Senate, which was obvious.

No matter how beautiful and young little Agrippina is, she is still a woman in her early thirties, and with Claudius' age and physical fitness, it is impossible for a woman to become pregnant.

Among other things, apart from Messalina, the legal wife, there are several Roman women who are hidden by the golden house beside Claudius, but under the watchful eyes of the maids who are loyal to Claudius, they Neither conceived a child.

After the incident with little Ukrania, Claudius would never allow any bastard to tarnish his child's status, so those women who had sex with him never let their children recognize their relatives.

Under the premise that she would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go, little Agrippina should be helpless.

What's more, Claudius also needs the support of the Lepidus family and the Valerius family. Compared with the power of the two behemoth families, the blood of Augustus in little Agrippina is really not enough look.

"If you really want to choose a partner for remarriage, isn't her sister Yulia Livia a better choice than little Agrippina?" Octavia analyzed carefully: "Julia Levy Yulia is also a direct descendant of Augustus. She is not married yet, let alone has a son. If her father marries Julia Livia, not only will she not have to worry about someone putting her son under pressure, but Yulia Levi Ya is not yet thirty, and more fit to bear children than little Agrippina."

"How do you know that Yulia Livia doesn't have a son?" Scylla sarcastically said, "Many prostitutes under my command helped those noble ladies hold down their husbands, so that they could have a chance to spend time with their lovers. Chun Xiao. Speaking of which, Yulia Livia's lover is also your acquaintance."

"Who?"

"The Lucius Hiranus who proposed to you." Scylla said with some malice: "While their family treats you warmly, they have found a lucky anchor."

Octavia didn't make a sound, and after pondering for a while, she opened her mouth and said, "It seems that little Agrippina wants to use Julia Livia in exchange for her father's trust."

"Isn't this obvious, Mom?" Scylla showed a disgusted expression: "Could it be that the woman brought her son to the brothel just to let Claudius adopt her adopted son? When the child left, he was covered all over They were all bruised and purple, and I could hear his cries even through thick wooden boards."

Octavia was startled by the huge amount of information and dropped the cup in her hand, she didn't know what to say.
