Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Madame Sophie was pampering her little daughter's hair, and Princess Maria, unlike her three strong brothers, was always exceptionally vulnerable.

This also made Mrs. Sophie especially fond of this daughter, after all, according to the rules of the royal family, she could not raise her sons herself.

The little princess is very cute, and she has been pestering her mother to hear the story.

At this moment the Count of Hüssel entered, and the little princess was very close to him, and immediately left Madame Sophie to beg for candy.

"Mr. Earl, are there any sweets?"

"Yes, Your Highness Princess."

Count Hüssel gave Maria a handful of sugar cubes and then commanded.

"Take the princess out to play."

The servants around immediately understood what the Earl meant, he must have something extremely important to discuss with Madame Sophie, after all, this situation is not once or twice, and everyone withdrew very interestingly.

Princess Maria has candy, and naturally she becomes very well-behaved. All that remained were Count Hussel, Lady Sophie, and her two most trusted maids-in-waiting.

"Messed up?"

Although Madame Sophie had heard the news of the unexpected death of Baron Dill and the car accident of Baron, she could see that the expression of Count Hüssel was not so simple.

"Baron Dill has been hiding in the Hofburg Palace and His Royal Highness the Empress has not left an inch, and we have not found a chance at all Baron's coachman and two of his bodyguards were killed in the car accident, but he himself is not dead, but he is in a coma."

Xusel's voice was very small, he was Mrs. Sophie's right-hand man, but he didn't expect to do two things at the same time today.

"You didn't send someone to do Baron Diere's business?"

"No, but he left a letter saying you are the murderer." Count Hüssel whispered.

Mrs. Sophie was going to drink tea, but when she heard this, she threw the teacup directly with her backhand.

"What a useless thing! Where is that letter? Mrs. Sophie asked, a little disappointed, for the man in front of her was her most trusted subordinate.

"In the hands of Queen Anna, she told us." Count Hussel replied with great confidence.

"Okay, now I'm being countered by that slut." Mrs. Sophie laughed angrily and continued.

"isn't dead, where is he now?"

"At the Vienna General House."

"So what are you doing now? Go and give him a blood transfusion, pour sulfuric acid, and in short, don't show your feet again! ”

The Count of Hüssel immediately bowed and withdrew, he thought that it was a good idea to have a blood transfusion, anyway, every year all over Europe died by blood transfusion, if not ten thousand, but eight thousand.

Until 1900, when the famous Austrian physician and physiologist Carl Landsteiner discovered the secret of human blood type, the theory of indecisive blood transfusion was still popular in European countries.

Although it may seem magical, due to the lack of scientific evidence, quacks and witch doctors always like to experiment with the lives of patients. After all, those terminally ill patients have nothing to lose when they die, and if someone miraculously survives, it is enough for them to blow for a lifetime.

Madame Sophie did not want to kill Queen Anna, she felt that it was time for a showdown.

Madame Veret Grandot was Madame Sophie's messenger and entered the Queen's bedchamber.

"Hats off, Your Royal Highness."

"Hello, Lady Granddot." Queen Anna's face was a little pale, but her tone was still gentle.

After a brief greeting, Madame Grandore was a little surprised, because she felt that the queen should be more hysterical at this time, after all, people can become angry when they are terrified.

Empress Anna was still able to converse with her, the messenger of her enemy, with all her disappearances or tragic deaths, and she was impressed by the fact that Madame Grande was determined to get Madame Sophie to get rid of the woman in front of her, or she would be in trouble.

"Your Royal Highness, Grand Princess Sophie would like to invite you to the Royal Gardens of Schönbrunn Palace. The Grand Duke will bring the Grand Duke with her, and you can also go with His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Although it sounded like a Hongmen feast, in fact, with the presence of the emperor and the Grand Duke, no one dared to continue to use means.

"Tell Madame Sophie that Your Majesty and I thank her for her kindness, and that we will be on time for the appointment, and ask her to have the best chef prepare his favorite almond balls for His Majesty." The queen smiled reluctantly.

"Waiting for you." Mrs. Grandore saluted and left.

On the throne, Queen Anna breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know how the shrewd Baron Dill had died, only that the two had been together until then.

If it was really like what the guards said, Diel's belongings exploded, and if that explosion happened a little earlier, I am afraid that he would also be affected.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Deere is not wrong in his analysis, it seems that the person who wants to be unfavorable to himself is really Grand Duke Sophie. What a good man, what a pity. Anna couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought of this, and then she felt guilty when she thought of her cousin, but it was clear that her own life was more important.

At this time, Mrs. Sophie was in Franz's study.

"What happened to Baron Diel, did you instruct Adjani to do it?"

Franz subconsciously looked at Adjani, who covered her face directly, which was obviously a fraud by Madame Sophie.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Mrs. Sophie had already guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.

"Franz, explain it to me!"

"Mother, I just said that Queen Anna can't move, and I didn't say that the people around her can't move either. I've asked Adjani to send someone to investigate, and the person who has been covering up this matter is Baron Diel, and is just a shield that he has pushed to the front of the stage. ”

To be honest, Franz never knew that there was such a conspirator in the palace, so he had to die.

Franz doesn't like the feeling of being knocked on the stick at all, especially at a critical moment, and maybe he can be killed if he doesn't pay attention.

Franz still has a lot of big things to do, and he doesn't want to deal with strong enemies on the one hand, and villains behind him on the other.

In fact, Mrs. Sophie did not mean much reproach, on the contrary, she was very pleased with Franz's approach, because she always felt that Franz's heart was not ruthless enough.

It's just that Mrs. Sophie is very dissatisfied with Adjani's attitude of not reporting to her and hiding the facts, because for Mrs. Sophie, although Adjani was trained by her, she is still an unstable factor around Franz.

"Now that the person who was scheming next to the slut is almost dead, and now that I'm going to reconcile with her, will she forgive me?" Mrs. Sophie was clearly pleased with the result.

She didn't do it, but she was still very proud.

"Mother, you are so sincere, she will definitely understand." Franz said.

"Miss Adjani." Mrs. Sophie deliberately raised her voice.

"At your command, Mrs. Sophie." Adjani looked humble and submissive.

"Mother, Miss Adjani still has a lot of work to do." Franz was a little unbearable to see Adjani's appearance and planned to help her.

However, Madame Sophie did not seem to intend to sell Franz this face, and touched his head lovingly.

"The knife will be dull if it is not sharpened, I will help you, and she will be better used later."
