As for what happened in Manhattan, Zhao Hongyu, who is in Marseille, France, has no way of knowing.

Now he is about to deal with the Duke of Orleans.

"Queen Mary, let's talk straight to the point. I suppose you're borrowing my hand to get rid of the Duke of Orleans, right? On this day, Zhao Hongyu found Mary and said something that shocked her. Don't be too busy denying it just yet. Before Mary could deny it, Zhao Hongyu raised his hand to stop her words.

"No matter what you think, I will not spare the Duke of Orleans and his son of waste. After all, I'm here in good faith and want to work with you, so I don't want the Duke of Orleans to ruin our upcoming cooperation. But I thought that since you want him to die, you don't want any accidents. Therefore, I felt it was necessary for us to cooperate and ensure that the Duke of Orleans would not survive this duel. ”

A few days ago, the old lady of Samuel's family, after analyzing Mary's plans with Zhao Hongyu, Zhao Hongyu had the idea of coming to talk to Mary.

After all, neither Mary nor Zhao Hongyu himself wanted any accidents in this duel.

They were all people who wanted the Grand Duke of Orleans to die.

Only when the Grand Duke of Orleans dies can he and she get their own benefits.

Zhao Hongyu wants to vent his anger, who let the waste son of the Grand Duke of Orleans be bold and provoke Emma.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu must teach the Grand Duke of Orleans a lesson.

Mary, on the other hand, was able to clear a major obstacle and seize his territory after the death of the Grand Duke of Orleans.

In short, he and she share the same goals, so they should be able to talk together.

Mary watched Zhao Hongyu talk eloquently, and her mind turned.

Yes, as Zhao Hongyu said, she did want the Grand Duke of Orleans to die.

Because only in this way can she get good and benefit from it.

And the Grand Duke of Orleans now had ambitions that he should not have. It has begun to threaten her rule and interests.

But for some reason, Mary never had the opportunity to make the Archduke of Orleans disappear.

But now it was different, and now there was a very good opportunity in front of her to allow the Grand Duke of Orleans to die in a lawful manner.

And after his death, he himself will not be blamed.

His followers, as well as some of the minor nobles who had defected to the Duke of Orleans, would not be angry with him because of the death of the Duke of Orleans.

At that time, even if they have anger, they can only send it to Zhao Hongyu, the crown prince from the Americas.

Therefore, when Zhao Hongyu finished saying what he wanted to say, he looked at himself with a smile. Mary shrugged her shoulders. showed an expression of 'you are really good', and then said to Zhao Hongyu: "I don't know what you are saying these words on, is it just your guess?" ”

Zhao Hongyu still kept smiling and did not speak.

When Mary saw Zhao Hongyu's appearance, she just continued: "But I have to say that your guess is very accurate, I really want him to die." Now the duke has a mind that he shouldn't have, and his ambition has swelled him. This duel is a good opportunity to solve this trouble, so I want to take advantage of it. ”

After speaking. Mary looked at Zhao Hongyu seriously: "Then I want to know how we should cooperate?" ”

Waiting for this sentence of Mary.

Zhao Hongyu knew that Mary was a smart person.

In this matter, she will not hide anything.

After all, there is no conflict of interest between himself and her. Only the Duke of Orleans was the one who was the most threatening to her.

"I need to know what the Grand Duke of Orleans has planned, I don't think he's stupid, he should have prepared a backup for himself. I'm worried that he's going to do something dirty, so we all have to be on guard. But my identity is destined not to be close to him. Therefore, I want you to come and inquire about it. ”

Zhao Hongyu stated his purpose.

Mary nodded, it wasn't a difficult thing for her to do.

After seeing Mary nodding in agreement, the smile on Zhao Hongyu's face became a little stronger.

"We cooperate. The maximum guarantee is that there will be no accidents. I'm going to kill the Grand Duke of Orleans, and that's not what I'm going to get out of it. But I think that after the death of the Grand Duke of Orleans, the royal family's control in France will be greatly improved, which will be of great benefit to our future military cooperation, right? ”

Zhao Hongyu mentioned the next cooperation matters, which was to unite France against Spain.

The reason why I want to mention it now is also to test Mary's attitude, to see if the cooperation between him and her will not be able to continue because of the matter between the Grand Duke of Orleans and his idiot son.

Fortunately, Mary's answer relieved Zhao Hongyu.

After listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, Mary replied to Zhao Hongyu solemnly: "I can guarantee that after solving the Grand Duke of Orleans, the cooperation we talked about before can continue, after all, this is of great benefit to France, isn't it." And I want to have a private domain that belongs to the royal family, so I think this territory is still very good in Spanish territory. ”

"Not bad, beautiful queen. I think it would be better in Madrid if it was this territory, wouldn't it? ”

Zhao Hongyu said complimentally.

A faint smile bloomed on Mary's face, her smile was a little reserved, not as arrogant as Zhao Hongyu.

"Your Majesty, I need to remind you. Although we are all thinking about the death of the Duke of Orleans now, we must not be wary of him, and he will be ghostly before the duel. For him, I am his enemy, and you are his stumbling block, and while we use this opportunity to get rid of him, I wonder if he will also use this opportunity to get rid of you and me. ”

Just yesterday, Zhao Hongyu received a report from Wang Shan.

Wang Shan kept the genetics to pay attention to the movements of the Archduke of Orleans, and the genetics found out that the Archduke of Orleans had sent his own guards to leave the manor, so Wang Shan intercepted one of the guards.

From the intercepted guard, Wang Shan found a letter.

Since the letter was written in French, Wang Shan could not read it.

Finally, the letter was handed over to Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Hongyu has a language plug-in, so there is no problem at all in understanding French.

The letter, which was recovered from the Duke of Orleans' bodyguard, was written in a simple way.

It is to tell those hardcore supporters of his to come to the manor with the guards, and at the same time let them secretly mobilize soldiers to surround the manor, and wait for his order to deal with Zhao Hongyu and Mary together.

After Mary is solved, her death can be pushed to Zhao Hongyu and them.

Anyway, Zhao Hongyu will be killed by him, and when the time comes, there will be no proof of death, who will say anything.

It was precisely because of seeing this letter that Zhao Hongyu found Mary on this day.

The smile on Mary's face gradually dissipated when she heard this, and she looked at Zhao Hongyu with a slight frown.

"What? Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you have any news? ”

Mary felt that Zhao Hongyu didn't seem to be targeted, he must have known something, otherwise he wouldn't have said these things to himself.

Zhao Hongyu nodded, took out the intercepted letter from his arms, and handed it to Mary.

Mary took the letter, then looked down and read it quickly.

Her face became more and more ugly, and her body gradually trembled.

"This bastard!"

Mary couldn't help but curse out in a daze.

Zhao Hongyu said to Mary with a relaxed face: "Empress, there are still three days left before the duel. I guess the supporters of the Grand Duke are already on their way here. But he also underestimated my elite Praetorian Guard, did he think that by mobilizing more than a thousand musketeers, he would be able to defeat us? ”

Zhao Hongyu showed a very disdainful look.

"As long as you can guarantee that the duel will go smoothly, I will let the Duke of Orleans die in the duel. As for his supporters of the minor nobles, I will also be dealt with in the duel, and even the musketeers can be dealt with by me. ”

Zhao Hongyu looked at Mary deeply and said to her.

"Is that all you want me to do?"

Mary asked with a deep breath.

At this time, she can only cooperate with Zhao Hongyu.

What else could she do?

Obviously, the Grand Duke of Orleans wants to use this opportunity to get rid of himself.

What's more, little Louis XIII is also here.

If she and Louis XIII had died, the Grand Duke of Orleans would have become King of France.

As for that waste Gaston, who cares about him.

What kind of woman do you want after becoming a king, you don't have it, and when the time comes, you just have to work hard and have another one.

This time Gaston's affair gave Mary a chance to get rid of the Duke of Orleans, but why didn't it give the Duke of Orleans a chance.

For her and the Duke of Orleans, fate was very fair.

"I hope you do more than just make the duel happen as promised, I also need the Empress to give me some information, the more information about the Duke of Orleans, the better." , Zhao Hongyu also became serious at this moment. "In the meantime, I hope you are prepared, and it is better to send a trusted man to gather the men loyal to the royal family to prepare now, and wait for the death of the Duke of Orleans and his comrades, and you will take his territory as quickly as possible."

Zhao Hongyu reminded Mary.

Mary nodded in response.

Yes, now that the situation is no longer for her to wait.

Originally, Mary's own plan was to wait until after the duel to prepare for these things.

But now that I look at it, the plan still can't keep up with the rapid changes. (To be continued.) )
