Face Franz. Forced by Joseph's assignment, Count Bauer could only accept the task with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, please give me some time! I will definitely do my best to persuade Her Highness Sophie! "Count Baul respectfully addressed Franz. Joseph replied.

"How long?" Franz. Joseph asked.

After thinking for a moment, Count Bauer raised three fingers and said to Franz. Joseph replied, "Three days!" ”

"Yes!" Franz. Joseph nodded and replied to Count Bauer, "The time to leave for Milan is set in four days!" ”

Count Bauer nodded, and his eyes couldn't help revealing a hint of helplessness. His Majesty Joseph was clearly not prepared to give him extra time.

For now, the Earl of Baul could only silently pray in his heart that His Royal Highness Sophie would be more magnanimous for the sake of the queen being pregnant.

Otherwise, his errand is really not good.

……

After Bach and Bauer left, Franz . . . Joseph also left the study and went to the residence of Empress Elizabeth.

When Franz. When Joseph arrived at the gate of Empress Elisabeth's room, the noblewoman who was in charge of arranging many things for the Empress hurried to Franz. Joseph saluted, "Your Majesty! ”

"Is the queen still in there?" Franz. Joseph asked the noblewoman.

The lady nodded and told Franz. Joseph: Her Majesty the Queen is in the room with the wife of the Ambassador of France.

Franz. Joseph nodded in understanding, and he reached out and pushed the door open.

Queen Yin Lizabeth in the room turned her eyes to the door at the same time after hearing the movement.

Subsequently, Empress Yin Lisabeth and the wife of the French envoy got up at the same time.

Elizabeth Yin came to Franz with small steps. In front of Joseph, he said softly: "Franz, why are you here?" ”

"Come and see you!" Franz. Joseph replied to Empress Elizabeth Yin, then glanced at Elizabeth's stomach and said, "By the way, take a look at our future children!" ”

Subsequently, the wife of the French envoy came to Franz. Joseph took his bid to him.

Franz. Joseph didn't make much of a reservation, just smiled and nodded.

Wait until only Franz is left in the room. Joseph and Queen Elizabeth of the time, Franz. Joseph told Queen Elisabeth, "In four days, we will be on our way to Milan!" ”

A look of excitement flashed in Queen Yin Lizabeth's eyes, and she couldn't believe her ears at this moment.

So, she once again said to Franz. Joseph asked, "Franz, is this true?" ”

"Really!" Franz. Joseph replied to Empress Elizabeth in a firm tone, "Count Bauer has promised me that he will spend three days persuading my mother!"

As one of my mother's most trusted friends, my mother should be willing to listen to his words! ”

"If Count Baul can't persuade his mother, then what are you going to do?" Queen Elizabeth asked Franz again. Joseph said.

"If even Count Bauer can't convince his mother, then the two of us will leave without informing her!" Franz. Joseph replied to Empress Yin Lizabeth, "As long as we leave Schönbrunn Palace, Mother will not be able to stop us!" ”

"But if you do this, your mother will be very angry!" Elizabeth Yin vs. Franz. Joseph said.

"Then there is no way!" Franz. Joseph shrugged his shoulders and replied to Yin Lizabeth, "Whoever made me promise someone will definitely take her out for a walk!" ”

Elizabeth Yin looked moved, and she leaned her head on Franz. Joseph's shoulder.

……

In the next three days, the Count of Baul can be said to have tried his best to persuade the Queen Mother Sophie, and even did not hesitate to move out of the Franco-Austrian friendship to endorse his persuasion.

It's a pity that the Queen Mother Sophie was unmoved.

Just as Count Bauer was about to give up, Sophie said to Count Bauer, "Bauer, tell me honestly! Who sent you, emperor or empress! ”

Count Baul immediately replied, "Your Highness, of course Your Majesty appointed me here!" ”

"Really?" Sophie looked at Franz with a hint of suspicion in her eyes. Joseph.

"Your Highness, it's true!" Count Bauer replied to Sophie in a firm tone.

"That's good! Go and call Your Majesty! I'm going to ask in person! Sophie said to Count Bauer.

The Count of Bauer had no choice but to follow the orders of the Queen Mother Sufi and go to the study to invite Franz. His Majesty Joseph came over.

"How's things going, Count Bauer?" As soon as the Count of Bauer entered the door, he heard Franz. Joseph's inquiry.

Baul took a deep breath and arched to Count Baul, "Your Majesty, Your Highness Sophie, please come over!" ”

"Mother!" Franz. After a moment of silence, Joseph put down the pen in his hand and said to Count Bauer, "All right! ”

Franz. Joseph and Baul arrived at Sophie's room, and the first thing Sophie said was, "Baul, you can leave now!" ”

Count Baul bowed to Sophie again, and then left Sophie's room.

After Baul left, only Franz was left in the room. Joseph and Sophie, and after a while, Sophie asks Franz. Joseph said, "You told him all those things that Bauer said?" ”

"What?" Franz. Joseph pretended to be stupid.

Sophie frowned slightly, she simply spread it out and said, "Just let your wife Yin Lisha accompany you to Milan!" ”

"This is a request for telegram!" Franz. Joseph blinked and replied to Sophie, "The telegram has to ask me to go to Milan with Elisabeth!" ”

"Which telegram!" Sophie asked with a hint of sternness.

"That telegram from three days ago!" Franz. Joseph continued to perfunctory to Sophie.

"Three days ago? That telegram three days ago only asked you to go to Milan, and it didn't say that Yin Lizabeth could also go there! "Sophie to Franz. Joseph responded.

Franz. Joseph's expression was immediately stunned, he did not understand why his mother would know the contents of the telegram.

Now, though, now that Sophie knows everything, Franz. Joseph had nothing to hide, he nodded and responded to Sophie, "Mother, I do hope that Elizabeth Yin can go out for a walk with me!"

She hadn't been out and about in almost a year! ”

"She's pregnant now!" Queen Sufi to Franz. Joseph emphasized, "A pregnant woman should not move around!

There is only one thing she has to do now, and that is to live in Schönbrunn Palace with peace of mind!

You don't need to think about anything else! ”

"Mother, you're going to drive a good living person crazy!" Franz. Joseph retorted to the Queen Mother.

"Crazy? Who didn't come this way? Queen Sophie sneered and said, "I think I didn't give birth to you like this at the beginning!" ”

"Mother, you want to put all the sins you suffered at the beginning on Yin Lizabeth!" Franz. Joseph replied to Queen Sufi in an emotional tone, "You can't do that! ”

The Queen Mother Sophie looked at the son in front of her in shock, she didn't know when her son became less and less under her control, and turned to obey a woman who had only been with him for a few years.

Such a result is an unacceptable result for a woman with a desire to control.

"Franz, I'm your mother!" The Queen Mother Sophie spoke sharply to Franz. Joseph said.

"Mother, I'm 28 years old!" Franz. Joseph also replied-for-tat, "I am now not only your son, but also the Emperor of the Austrian Empire!"

I have the right to decide anything within the Empire! ”

Facing a strong Franz. Joseph, the Queen Mother Sophie had a look of relief on her face, and in her eyes, Franz. It was as if Joseph had grown up overnight.

The once toddler is gone, leaving only a resolute, resolute monarch.

"You've indeed grown up, Franz...... No Your Majesty! "The Queen Mother Sophie to Franz. Joseph said respectfully.

"Mother, I ......" from the moment the Queen Mother Sufi called out "Your Majesty", Franz. Joseph suddenly felt an inexplicable alienation.

"Your Majesty, I'm tired!" Queen Sufi raised her head to stop Franz. Joseph's speech, "Whether Elizabeth Yin will follow you to Milan or not, it is up to you to decide!"

I believe that you, as a monarch, should be able to make good judgments! ”

After speaking, the Queen Mother Sufi said to Franz. Joseph gave the order to evict the guests.

Franz. Joseph had no choice but to leave the room of the Queen Mother Sufi, and then staggered to the room of Elizabeth Yin.

Yin Lizabeth in the room looked at Franz who was in a trance. Joseph, hurriedly hold Franz. Joseph's hand asked, "What's wrong?" Franz? What happened? ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing! "Franz came to his senses. Joseph shook his head and said to Yin Lizabeth, he didn't want Yin Lizabeth to know about it.

Otherwise, Yin Lizabeth will definitely fall into a mood of self-blame.

In order to change the subject, Franz. Joseph spoke again and said to Yin Lizabeth, "That's right! Good news for you! ”

"What's the good news?" Yin Lizabeth instantly got up and said.

"Mother has promised us to go to Milan, which means we can pack our things and leave for Milan tomorrow!" Franz. Joseph replied to Elizabeth Yin.

"Really?" Yin Lizabeth had an unbelievable expression on her face, she really didn't expect Franz. Joseph managed to convince Grand Duchess Sophie, "It's wonderful! I'm going to see Sister Augusta again! ”

】

Franz. Curious, Joseph asked if Empress Augusta was also in Turin.

Elizabeth Yoon told Franz. Joseph, Empress Augusta and not Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte together.

However, she has now set off for Turin.
