When Emma's maid, Papa, sent an invitation to the Duke of Orleans to fight a duel, the presence of the doctor interrupted the tense atmosphere.

"How's Gaston doing?"

The Duke of Orleans ignored Papa for the time being, and came to the doctor and asked.

Marie was less concerned about Gaston's injury, and little Louis XIII, who had been keeping an eye on it, kept it to heart.

It seems that, based on his mother's performance, that idiot waste Gaston should not be his mother's illegitimate child.

Otherwise, how could the mother be so indifferent.

Rumors are rumors, and they don't seem to be believable.

Zhao Hongyu and Emma, as well as Sara and Wang Shan, have no interest in Gaston's life or death.

After all, it is unforgivable that this idiot would dare to make a move on Emma.

If he dies, that's the best, if he doesn't die, Zhao Hongyu and they don't mind killing this guy again.

Therefore, it can only be said that it was luck for Gaston to die like this, and it would be his sorrow if he did not die.

Because he was so cowardly, he didn't know what kind of people he had offended by his actions.

The reactions of the people in the room were different, but Wang Shan observed it.

He noticed that the corners of Louis XIII's mouth were curled, which was written down by Wang Shan.

Wang Shan could see from Louis XIII's reaction that he was very disgusted with Gaston, the crown prince.

This can be taken advantage of.

And Mary's reaction, Wang Shan also saw it.

That kind of indifference and disgust is not pretended.

Although Mary covered it up well, she was still discovered by Wang Shan.

As Zhao Hongyu's personal follower and dogleg, Wang Shan is now becoming more and more competent.

Besides, he also single-handedly created the Imperial Intelligence Department, so he needs to have two brushes to do it.

"Your Highness, the crown prince is disgusted with Gaston and the Duke of Orleans, we can take advantage of it. Queen Mary also seems to hate the Duke of Orleans. But she's not so obvious. ”

Wang Shan lowered his voice and told Zhao Hongyu about his observations.

"Well, is that so? If that's the case, then it's good for us. At least we can take a stand, and then use this contradiction between them, even if we kill Orleans and Gaston, it won't cause any trouble, right? ”

Zhao Hongyu responded in a low voice.

Wang Shan nodded: "Although we are not afraid of France, it is better to avoid trouble or avoid it, I know what to do, I will inquire clearly." ”

Mary and Louis XIII Jr. and the Grand Duke of Orleans, of course, did not notice the conversation between Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan. Even d'Artagnan didn't pay attention.

Faced with the Duke of Orleans's inquiry, the doctor shook his head: "The injury is very serious, but there is no problem with saving his life." But I have one thing to remind you, Duke, that Gaston may lose one of its masculine functions. ”

Although the doctor's words were very vague, how could the Duke of Orleans not know what this meant.

By the time Gaston was carried to this place, he had already seen where the wound was.

It's just that it's hard for him to accept this reality.

"Damn American bitch! I accept your duel, time, place, weapon! ”

After learning that his son had become a eunuch, the Duke of Orleans also broke out.

He is only one son, and he doesn't even have an illegitimate child.

Now this son has been abolished. Doesn't it mean that he doesn't even have an heir?

When he dies and passes Orleans to Gaston, Gaston will not have an heir.

The huge territory will become someone else's when the time comes, and this kind of thing is really unacceptable to him.

Think about it, after struggling all your life, you find yourself fighting for others. This kind of thing is unacceptable to any individual.

Therefore, the Duke of Orleans broke out, which was also expected.

Queen Mary looked at the Duke of Orleans, and her mind was spinning rapidly.

The fiefdom of the Duke of Orleans has always been large. It has a strong potential. The fact that he had such a dewy relationship with him was largely due to this reason, and if the Duke of Orleans really died in a duel, it would be of great benefit to himself.

Gaston has become a waste. Those who had followed the Duke of Orleans could not have continued to follow Gaston.

At that time, the territory of the Duke of Orleans can be completely controlled by the royal family.

And after obtaining the Dukedom of Orleans, the power of his control will increase.

After all, in this era, the royal family's voice is often determined by the amount of land it controls.

In many countries, the aristocracy united and could even overthrow the king's.

In Europe, such strange things are not uncommon.

Therefore, Mary did not stop the furious Duke of Orleans, and even added fuel to the fire.

"I witness this duel in the name of the French royal family, and it will be open and fair!"

Well, as soon as Mary opened her mouth, she decided that the Duke of Orleans could not escape the duel, and either he would survive victoriously, or he would be killed by Papa and die a humiliated death.

But it was clear that Marie had her own agenda, and she didn't want the Duke of Orleans to live.

The duke's domain has a lot of attraction to her, doesn't it.

And recently there have been rumors that Gaston, the idiot and the waste, is the illegitimate son of himself and the duke.

Mary was secretly angry about this, but she didn't explain it.

After all, she still needs the support of the Duke to suppress the opponents and nobles in the country.

At the same time, the source of this rumor, Marie knew that it must be inseparable from the Duke of Orleans.

Gaston, an idiot, is a fool who can only think with his lower body, how can it be her Mary blood, this is simply an insult.

Well, now is a good opportunity to get rid of the Duke of Orleans and the hated Gaston in one fell swoop.

A fair duel, even the supporters of the duke, can't say anything.

Now all Mary has to do is to ensure the 'fairness' of the duel, and how to get the duke to die.

"Use the sword to duel, the location is in the manor, and the time is pushed back a few days!"

The Duke of Orleans was not a fool, and he felt that Papa dared to challenge himself. Then there must be her merits, so he has to find this point.

And his proposal is exactly what Mary wants, and she needs some time.

"I'll notify some nobles to come here to witness the duel and ensure the fairness of the duel, I guess you have no opinion, right?"

The Duke of Orleans thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Hongyu and they don't care.

Even if there is a circle of troops outside, Zhao Hongyu and they will not be afraid.

Not to mention some aristocrats.

Louis XIII Jr. was excited.

In his heart, he hoped that Papa could kill the Duke of Orleans, and as long as the Duke of Orleans died, then Gaston would become a lost dog.

Without his father's protection and becoming a eunuch, it was obvious that Gaston's life would not be easy.

Little Louis XIII understood his mother's intentions a little bit from the moment she spoke.

The Duke's domain. That's more than a third of France's land.

If it can be controlled in the hands of the royal family, then the power of the royal family will be greatly increased.

"I'll also let some nobles watch the duel, I don't think Your Royal Highness the Queen and the Crown Prince will have any opinions."

The Duke of Orleans asked.

He hoped to find some nobles who supported him to cheer him on, and to save what was wrong.

And these nobles will also come with escorts, and when something goes wrong, they will help themselves.

Zhao Hongyu nodded, he didn't care what the Duke of Orleans was going to do, in his eyes, the Duke of Orleans was already a dead man.

"Six days later!"

Zhao Hongyu just said a time.

Yes, the current duel conditions were all proposed by the Duke of Orleans and Mary, and it was Zhao Hongyu's turn to say a duel condition.

Six days. Both the Duke of Orleans and Mary agreed.

Then, Zhao Hongyu left the room with everyone.

"Papa, do you have the confidence to kill that old fellow?"

After leaving Mary, Zhao Hongyu asked Emma's little maid.

After all. She was too young, and her dueling opponent was a male duke.

Although the Duke of Orleans was already fifty years old, he still could not be underestimated.

Hearing this, Papa nodded: "Lord Song Hu has specially trained me for half a year, and I can kill wolves with my bare hands." I once had a record of killing five wolves and three adult males by one man. ”

Papa's answer made Zhao Hongyu settle down, and at the same time, he understood that Papa had three eagle feathers on his head.

Because according to the custom of all Indians. Only warriors who have killed people can wear eagle feathers on their heads, and the more they are, the more respected they are.

And Papa has three eagle feathers on her head, which means that she has killed three enemies at a young age.

You must know that in the American continent in the Cold Weapon Age, it is very difficult to kill more than two people.

If there are few people, you can't beat the enemy, and there are more people on both sides, and you don't know when or where the knife will stab you, which is a terrifying thing.

Therefore, Papa's three eagle feathers also show that she is not as simple as it seems.

The long-legged beautiful girl Papa looks like a model, but Zhao Hongyu knows that this girl has become a killing machine under Song Hu's special training.

And killing people, in the Americas in this era, is a very normal thing.

Tribal vendettas, before Zhao Hongyu took control of Manhattan, that was a regular occurrence.

Therefore, Papa, the little girl of Moxican, is not afraid of murder at all.

This is completely different from the modern girls of later generations.

"Don't worry, Papa is very powerful, I have seen her knife skills very good."

Emma assured Zhao Hongyu.

Despite this, Zhao Hongyu still feels that it is not safe.

He didn't want to hurt anyone else, no matter what.

"Wang Shan, think of a way, we can't let the Duke of Orleans hurt Papa, and at the same time, we can't let him live."

Wang Shan nodded and wrote down Zhao Hongyu's instructions.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a sniper gun in his hand, otherwise he would have killed the duke silently in a duel.

And the Mohican warriors who followed Emma praised Papa again and again.

Good Papa, kill the old man who insulted us and cut off his scalp.

Papa, don't let that guy die easily, torture him well, make his death a little more painful.

The girls of Mohican are not weak, let these white-skinned people see how good we are.

As for the duel, the Mohican warriors were not at all worried, as if the Duke of Orleans was already dead.

I have to say that the Mohicans are very optimists.

"You have six days left, and we will send someone to probe the duke's swordsmanship, and then find out his weaknesses. When the time comes, you will be able to kill him easily, and we will have to be cautious about the face of our empire and the dignity of Emma. ”

Zhao Hongyu confessed to Papa.

Of course, Papa understands the seriousness of the matter, so she will not object to Zhao Hongyu's approach.

"Originally, I wanted to duel with that guy, but unfortunately Papa preempted me." Emma pouted on the side.

Zhao Hongyu really couldn't cry or laugh.

"Emma, you are my wife, the queen of the Indians in the area I control. How can you go to a duel with someone, if there is something bad about this, how can I explain it to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”

Emma rolled her eyes: "It's because I'm the queen of the Indians that I'm going to show the momentum of a queen." Everyone needs a great queen, not an ornament. If I let go of even the people who insulted me, everyone would look down on me and you. ”

Emma always has her own reasoning.

In this regard, Zhao Hongyu can't say anything about her.

"Papa, you have to win, I don't want you to get hurt either, do you know the truth?"

Ignoring Zhao Hongyu anymore, Emma looked at her little maid seriously and said to her.

Papa nodded heavily: "My king, don't worry." I'm going to use all my skills to deal with him, and if I hadn't been derelict in my duties, I wouldn't have done anything like this this time. ”

After assuring Emma, Papa thought about the fact that she hadn't been with Emma before, which had caused this to happen, and almost caused that damn Gaston to hurt Emma, which made Papa feel a strong sense of guilt.

Emma raised her hand and patted Papa's shoulder disapplausively: "Don't care about this matter, if you want to talk about it, this matter has nothing to do with you, I don't let you and the other samurai follow me, so I can only blame myself if something happens." ”

Yes, Emma knew very well that she did not let the maids and samurai follow her.

She thinks it's troublesome for a bunch of people to follow her, and she has a feeling that she is not very free.

But after this incident, Emma also began to examine herself for herself.

She feels that her status is different now, and her every move cannot be the same as before.

Now my safety is not only related to my husband, but also to the people of Mohican.

Therefore, Emma knew that she could no longer be willful.

Therefore, in the face of Papa's self-blame, Emma comforted her and said. (To be continued.) )
