Princess Mathilde learns in the telegram that Cavour wants to visit her, and immediately realizes Cavour's true intentions.

The reason why Cavour visited him as soon as he arrived in Paris was to reconnect with the French Emperor through her.

Since the last time Jérôme Bonaparte annexed Savoy and Nice in a tough manner, Cavour had been like a kite with a broken string, and since then he has lost all advice to Paris.

According to some sources from Sardinia, Cavour has chosen to go into seclusion once and for all.

For this reason, Princess Mathilde was also slightly lost for a while.

After all, Cavour is one of the few foreign friends of Princess Mathilde, and his knowledge and conversation are deeply recognized by Mathilde.

Mathilde thought that there would be no more contact between her and Cavour, but she didn't expect that just after about a year, Cavour would take the initiative to contact her again.

This made Princess Mathilde wonder if the reason behind Cavour's desire to get a chance to meet with the French Emperor through him this time was related to the upcoming French Mediterranean naval exercises.

After much thought, Princess Mathilde decided to go to the Château de Fontainebleau once again and tell Jérôme Bonaparte about Cavour's visit to him.

As soon as he had done so, Princess Mathilde summoned the servants of the inn to him again, and ordered him to prepare for herself a carriage to the Château de Fontainebleau.

After receiving Mathilde's order, the squire had a confused look on his face, he clearly remembered that Princess Mathilde had just returned from the Palace of Fontainebleau, why did she have to go to the Palace of Fontainebleau again.

However, as a servant, he only hesitated for a moment, and immediately followed Princess Mathilde's orders.

Soon, a carriage appeared at the gate of the hotel, and Princess Mathilde, supported by her attendants, entered the carriage.

Due to the snow on the road, the carriage could not move at a normal speed and had to move slowly.

Even so, the speed of the carriage was still much faster than on foot.

After about ten minutes of driving on the snow-covered road, the carriage finally arrived at the gates of the Château de Fontainebleau.

The guards in charge of the Palace of Fontainebleau also had a puzzled look on their faces when they saw the carriage parked at the gate, because they had not received any news of a visitor.

Under the watchful look of the guard, Princess Mathilde disembarked from the carriage.

The guard, who had just met Princess Mathilde, relaxed his guard and looked at Mathilde, who was walking up the steps step by step.

When Mathilde came to the guard, the guard hurriedly saluted Princess Mathilde, and then thoughtfully opened the door to the Palace of Fontainebleau for Mathilde.

Mathilde, who entered the Palace of Fontainebleau, was immediately met by Angelo von Becchu, who hurried to the gates of the Palace of Fontainebleau.

"Hello, Mr. Beychu!" Mathilde greeted the quilt kindly.

Becchu also noticed Mathilde entering the Palace of Fontainebleau, and a look of surprise quickly flashed across his face, and then he regained his composure and greeted Mathilde, "Hello, Your Highness!"

"Where is the Emperor now? I have some urgent matters to discuss with him, can you bring me to him now!" Mathilde did not hesitate in the slightest, and immediately stated her intentions.

"Your Majesty is now working on the documents in the study!" Becchu replied to Princess Mathilde.

Later, under the guidance of Beiqiu, Princess Mathilde entered the study and saw the emperor working on the documents in the study.

At this time, Jérôme Bonaparte was frowning at a document entitled "On the Continuation of the Rapid Growth of the French Economy from 1849 to 1857", signed by the French industrial banker Isaac Perel.

Since the economics covered by the document were so obscure (in the tradition of classical economics) that Jérôme Bonaparte could only truly understand it if he was engrossed

Therefore, the sound of Princess Mathilde entering the room did not make Jérôme Bonaparte look up, and Jérôme Bonaparte only thought that Bechu had re-entered the room.

"Your Majesty, Her Highness Mathilde has arrived!"

It wasn't until the sound of the Bechu reached Jérôme Bonaparte's ears that Jérôme Bonaparte raised his head and looked ahead.

Princess Mathilde was standing motionless opposite Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Okay! I see!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded in response to Becchu.

Becchu left his study and thoughtfully closed the door for Jérôme Bonaparte.

Only Jérôme Bonaparte and Mathilde were left in the room, and Jérôme Bonaparte first put down the papers in his hand and stretched out his hand to invite Princess Mathilde to sit across from him.

After Princess Mathilde was seated, Jérôme Bonaparte asked Princess Mathilde what she meant, "Sister, why are you here again?"

"What? If you don't have anything to do, you won't use the Château de Fontainebleau? Are you tired of my sister?" Princess Mathilde half-jokingly asked Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Of course not!" Jérôme Bonaparte denied it, "You are welcome at either the Château de Fontainebleau or the Tuileries!

However, I guess you didn't just come here to entertain me, right?"

"Of course!"

Princess Mathilde also knew that enough was enough, and she immediately told Jérôme Bonaparte that Cavour wanted to visit her.

Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth when he heard the news of Cavour's arrival in Paris.

Unexpectedly, Cavour was so breathless, and shortly after the announcement of the French Mediterranean military exercises, he rushed from London to Paris in a hurry.

(Jérôme Bonaparte did not know that Cavour's original plan was to go to Paris to discuss the Italian peninsula with him after his visit to London.

It's just that due to the continuous heavy snowfall in London, Cavour's journey to Paris has been delayed again and again.

It was not until the French Foreign Ministry announced the plans for the French Navy's military exercises that Cavour rushed to Paris desperately. ）

"Do you think I should meet with Cavour!" Mathilde then inquired about Jérôme Bonaparte's attitude.

Jérôme Bonaparte thought for a moment, then replied to Mathilde, "Sister, tell Monsieur Cavour directly, and let him go to the Palace of Fontainebleau as soon as he arrives in the town of Fontainebleau!"

I will meet him at the Château de Fontainebleau!"

After hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's reply, Princess Mathilde couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face, and she couldn't help but ask Jérôme Bonaparte, "If you meet him directly, it won't have any impact on the French Empire!"

"No!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head in response to Princess Mathilde, and then said in a mocking tone, "Our Monsieur Cavour is very powerful! By the time he was in London, he probably had already made some agreement with some people in London (Jérôme Bonaparte did not call Prince Albert and Palmerston).

This time they went to France again, just to make sure that France would stop them!"

"Cavour, what does he want to do!" Mathilde couldn't help but ask.

"What else can I do!" Jérôme Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and assumed an indifferent attitude, "It is nothing more than an attempt to unify Italy, the last time they wanted to realize their dream of unification with the help of the power of France, but unfortunately I was thwarted, and thus lost Savoy and Nice.

This time, they are in the kingdom of Britain again, and they want to use them to create unity!"

"Will the Kingdom of Britain use force to help the Kingdom of Sardinia unite Italy?" Princess Mathilde had an incredulous expression on her face, and she had the impression that the Kingdom of Britain did not seem to be a "great philanthropist" who sacrificed himself for others.

"The Kingdom of Britain should not directly use force to help unify the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Gero

M. Bonaparte also did not believe that Cavour could fool the Britons into doing their best with his incorruptible tongue: "They [British] have always liked to put the icing on the cake, and it is impossible to expect them to be able to do so!"

I think that Cavour received at most from the Kingdom of Britain the guarantee that the Kingdom of Sardinia would not be encroached upon by the Austrian Empire.

If Cavour had really received military aid from the Kingdom of Britain, he would not have come to France."

"That...... What are you going to do?" Mathilde asked Jérôme Bonaparte curiously.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Jérôme Bonaparte's mouth, and his tone also became yin and yang, "Since Monsieur Cavour is really confident in his plan to unify Italy, then I want to see where Monsieur Cavour can go!"

"Aren't you afraid that the situation in Italy will get out of control?" Mathilde asked worriedly.

"Out of control?" Jérôme Bonaparte raised his voice and looked mocking, "If the situation is really on the verge of spiraling out of control, I think the Holy Father, who lives in Rome, will surely appeal to France for help!"

Then we can intervene in Italy in the name of the Church!

Rest assured, the situation in Italy cannot be messed up!

Perhaps we will be able to reap some unexpected benefits from Cavour's opportunity to stir up Italy!"

Looking at Jérôme Bonaparte with a look of victory, Mathilde swallowed all her worries.

Now that the Emperor already has an idea, Mathilde says that no amount of more will change the end.

"Okay! I'll tell Cavour on your behalf!" Mathilde replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"That's right!" Jérôme Bonaparte spoke again to Princess Mathilde, "Tell Cavour that he must arrive at the Château de Fontainebleau without alarming the others!"
