Chapter 387: Will You Go to the Guillotine?
France, Paris, Tuileries Palace, King Louis XVI and his family sat in the palace with pale faces, and no one spoke
For the first time in history, Queen Mary did not wear makeup or her fine jewels.
Having already understood something, Louie, who was hanging on to his life with berberine hydrochloride. Joseph even began to tremble slightly, not knowing whether it was because of illness or fear.
The reason why they were so frightened was because the king's family had just experienced a thrilling escape, and they had been captured back to Paris.
Before they fled, they could live in Versailles, but after the exodus, the French people believed that the king had betrayed the country.
The French commoners, known as sans-culottes, began to be hostile to the king's family, no longer regarded them as national symbols, and everything was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to the family.
"Boom!" A low sobbing sounded, and the king looked up to see that it was Queen Mary weeping.
Large tears flowed down her face, and the radiant queen of luxury seemed to disappear overnight, leaving a poor person with a pale face and a whole body revealing helplessness and fear.
"Don't cry, Queen, if the people of France no longer need me as a king, then we will be ordinary people!"
Louis XVI, who had also aged a lot, tried to comfort his queen.
"Nope! I think we probably won't have the chance to be ordinary people, and when Zinedin left, he repeatedly warned me that I must be careful of the people of Paris, and not to continue to live in such luxury, and I think he must have foreseen something, but unfortunately I did not listen to him. ”
Queen Mary cried and shook her head, her eyes were full of despair, she now remembered Ye Kai's warning to her, and remorse wrapped around her like a poisonous snake.
"You are a little too pessimistic, Marie, I believe that the people of France will not do anything to us, I am ....., I am their king!" As he spoke, Louis XVI's own voice lowered.
Boom! Boom! Boom! There was a soft knock at the door, and Queen Mary stood up, covered her red eyes with the scarf on her hat, and walked over and opened the door.
Outside the door stood two servants pushing a food cart, which was filled with queen bread, butter, Jiaying Zhou roast wings, egg tarts, milk and other delicacies.
Behind her, listening to the voice, came to the door of the king's eldest daughter, Mary. Teresa, couldn't help but swallow her saliva, he had been eating oatmeal and hard bread for a week, and he hadn't eaten such a good dish in a long time.
With the delicious food, the king's family temporarily put aside their worries about their fate and swallowed it heavily, and then the strange-looking servant walked gently to Queen Mary.
"Queen, get ready, I'll come here to pick you up in five days!"
Queen Mary, who was eating egg tarts, raised her head in surprise, and the strange servant lifted the hood on her head, revealing the face of an Oriental Seris, who was Ye Kai's principal in Paris, He Xiwen's sister, He Yuer.
At this time, He Yuer looks much more mature and beautiful than four years ago, and she speaks fluent French.
"Sarah, it's really you, it's so nice to see you, I regret not listening to you, Sarah, can you take me out of here? I'm so scared! ”
As soon as she saw that it was He Yu'er, Queen Mary collapsed in an instant, as if a child who had made a mistake saw her mother.
"Alas!" He Yu'er sighed, the series of deaths of this king's family really hurt his head.
Before realizing that the king's family was preparing to flee from Paris, He Yuer persuaded Queen Mary, because Ye Kai had instructed her to persuade Queen Mary not to run directly to Austria, even if she ran to Austria, she should act quickly.
But this family, not only did they not listen to He Yuer's opinion, but they insisted on running directly through France to Austria, and they were as leisurely and unhurried as a spring outing on the way.
They got a few luxurious carriages, with servants and delicacies, and the king even got out of the car halfway to talk to the people, as if he were afraid that others would not know that the king of Paris and his family had fled.
Not surprisingly, they were discovered in the Varenna region of Austria, which was about to enter Austria, and were subsequently captured by emissaries from Paris.
The news spread and the King's departure aroused the anger of everyone, and although the King's family could still live in the Tuileries Palace for the time being, it was estimated that they would soon be thrown into the prison of the Temple Tower.
He Yu'er sighed again, she took the risk to come here today, not just because of Ye Kai's entrustment.
In fact, even if Ye Kai is here, he will not let her take such a risk, after all, now the king's family is more closely watched, and they have already run once, and if they want to run again, the difficulty is not ordinary.
But she still came here, because in the past few years, perhaps because of Ye Kai's relationship, Queen Mary took good care of the children of the Ye family from Nanyang in Paris, and she was also very good to her He Yuer.
For a while, she almost became Queen Mary's best friend, and no matter what angle she looked at, He Yuer didn't want to see Queen Mary come to an end.
And she felt that although Queen Mary was a luxurious comatose queen, she was kind to her and the Ye family's students, and if she was kind, she would repay it, this was He Yuer's simple logic.
What's more, in He Yuer's cognition, Sheji was overturned, the country was ruined, and Mary, as the queen. Antoinette must have been guillotined.
Because for thousands of years, this has been an almost ironclad law in the East, so many people think that at most they will only depose the king's family as commoners, but He Yuer saw their death.
"Remember, five days later, at seven o'clock in the evening, you will put on your simple servant clothes, and bring nothing with you, and you will definitely take you away!"
He Yuer said categorically, Queen Mary nodded with red eyes, and Louis XVI stood up and bent over He Yuer gently, his eyes full of expectation.
。。。。
Leaving the Tuileries Palace, He Yuer quickened her pace, and over the years, more and more Ye children have come to France to study, and now there are almost more than 400 people.
Don't underestimate these more than 400 people, all of them have gone through rigorous primary school to high school studies in Nanyang, Thang Long or Hue, and have undergone rigorous training.
Everyone can ride horses, everyone can use guns, and many people even study in military schools, and once assembled, they are an elite army.
So if there is anyone else who can save the king's family in Paris right now, it is only them, the Serisians.
But He Yu'er must arrange the back road now, because after saving the king's family, they will definitely have to leave this way.
Now France is in a state of extreme fanaticism, and those in the Constituent Assembly are even considering taking over the King's Pharmaceutical Factory.
This was an invasion of the interests of Austria, the German states, and the King of Spain at the same time, and only a madman would choose to offend so many people at once.
Therefore, once the king is to be rescued, it is necessary to be ready to evacuate completely, otherwise the fanatical people of Paris will spill their anger on them.
But all this is not simple, not all of the more than 400 Ye students are in Paris, it is not easy to arrange everything properly!
However, He Yuer must do it, because all these Ye students have always been in charge of He Yuer, so that He Yuer now has the honorific title of He Mother, and it is He Yuer's responsibility to take care of them.
As for the destination of the escape, it has already been chosen, not to return to Britain on the other side of the sea, let alone Austria, but to the Netherlands.
Yes, the Netherlands, the most reliable person in Europe now for the Ye family is neither the Britain where Qiao Si, who is good friends with Ye Kai, nor Napoleon, who is beginning to show his prominence, but the Dutch who once wanted to intercept him when Ye Kai returned to Nanyang.
The world is so wonderful, former enemies have become the closest friends.
Without the support of the Fuxing Company and the huge profits brought by rock sugar and white sugar from Nanyang, the debt mine of the Dutch VOC company would have exploded long ago.
The current Dutch government is still maintained, and the support of the revival company is very important!
So in Europe, whoever wears a pair of pants with them now is reliable, and who is reliable, is the Dutch, who are already at the end of their rope.
Once in Amsterdam, the king's family would go to Brussels to join the Marquis of Provence, who had escaped earlier.
And He Yuer and others are about to return to the South Seas with the fleet of the Dutch East India Company.
