Chapter 226 Reconciliation

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Madame Sophie was combing her little daughter's hair with a doting look on her face. Princess Maria was different from her three strong brothers. The little princess was always particularly vulnerable.

This also made Madame Sophie particularly dote on this daughter. After all, according to the rules of the royal family, she could not raise her sons personally.

The little princess was chubby and very cute. She kept pestering her mother to listen to stories.

At this time, Count Schüssel came in. The little princess was particularly close to him and immediately left Madame Sophie to ask for candy.

"Mr. Count, do you have candy?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Count Schüssel stuffed a handful of candy into Maria and then ordered.

"Take the princess out to play."

The servants around immediately understood what the Count meant. He must have something extremely important to talk to Madame Sophie about. After all, this situation is not the first or second time, and everyone retreated very tactfully.

Princess Maria naturally became very well-behaved with candy. The only ones left were Count Schüssel, Madame Sophie, and her two most trusted maids.

"Messed up?"

Although Madame Sophie had heard about Baron Dill's accidental death and Baron Slote's car accident early in the morning, she could see from Count Schüssel's expression that things were not that simple.

"Baron Dill has been hiding in the Hofburg Palace and has been close to Her Majesty the Queen. We can't find any chance. Baron Slote's coachman and two guards died in the car accident, but he himself did not die, he was just in a coma."

Schussel's voice was very low. He was Madame Sophie's most capable assistant, but he didn't expect to mess up two things at the same time today.

"Didn't you send someone to do Baron Dill's thing?"

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

Madame Sophie was planning to drink tea, but when she heard this, she threw the teacup over.

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

"It's in the hands of Queen Anna, who told us." Count Schüssel answered without confidence.

"Well, now that bitch has turned the tables on us." Mrs. Sophie laughed and continued.

"Slote is not dead, where is he now?"

"In the Vienna General Hospital."

"Then what are you doing now? Go and give him a sheep's blood transfusion, sulfuric acid, anyway, don't show your hand again!"

Count Schüssel immediately bowed and left. He thought that transfusing sheep's blood was a good idea. After all, there were at least 8,000 people who died from transfusing sheep's blood in Europe every year.

Until 1900, when the famous Austrian physician and physiologist Karl Landsteiner discovered the secret of human blood type, the theory of transfusing sheep's blood in case of uncertainty was still popular in European countries.

Although it looks magical, due to the lack of scientific basis, quacks and witch doctors always like to experiment with patients' lives. After all, those terminally ill patients will not lose anything if they die. If someone miraculously survives, it will be enough for them to brag for a lifetime.

Lady Sophie did not want to kill Queen Anna, she felt that it was time to show her cards.

Lady Willie Grando, as Lady Sophie's messenger, stepped into the Queen's bedroom.

"Greetings to you, your Royal Highness."

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

After a simple greeting, Lady Grando was a little surprised, because she felt that the Queen should be more hysterical at this time, after all, people will become angry when they are extremely frightened.

After the people around her disappeared or died tragically one after another, Queen Anna was still able to talk to her enemy's messenger calmly. This alone made her look at her with new eyes. Lady Grando was determined to let Lady Sophie get rid of this woman in front of her, otherwise it would become a future trouble.

"Your Highness, Archduchess Sophie wants to invite you to visit the Royal Garden of Schönbrunn Palace. The Archduchess will bring the Archduke with her, and you can also go with His Majesty the Emperor."

Although it sounds like a Hongmen Banquet, in fact, with the Emperor and the Archduke present, no one dared to continue using tricks.

"Tell Madam Sophie that His Majesty and I thank her for her kindness. We will be there on time. Please ask her to ask the best chef to prepare his favorite almond balls for His Majesty." The Queen gave a reluctant smile.

"Waiting for your visit." Lady Grando bowed and left.

On the throne, Queen Anna breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know how the shrewd Baron Dill died, but she knew that the two were together before that.

If Dill's personal belongings really exploded as the guards said, and if the explosion happened earlier, I'm afraid she would be affected.

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

"Dill's analysis is correct. It seems that the person who wants to harm me is really Archduchess Sophie. What a good man, what a pity." Anna couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of this. When she thought of her cousin, she felt guilty, but her life was obviously more important.

At this time, Mrs. Sophie was in Franz's study to ask for punishment.

"Did you instruct Ajani to do the Baron Dill thing?"

Franz subconsciously looked at Ajani, who covered her face directly. It was obvious that Mrs. Sophie was cheating.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Mrs. Sophie had guessed most of it.

"Franz, please explain it to me!"

"Mother, I just said that Queen Anna couldn't move, but I didn't say that the people around her couldn't move either. I had asked Adjani to send someone to investigate before. The person who has been covering up this matter is Baron Dill, and Si Root is just a shield for him to push to the front."

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

Franz didn't like the feeling of being beaten at all, especially at critical moments, when he might be killed if he didn't pay attention.

Franz still has a lot of big things to do, and he doesn't want to have to deal with powerful enemies while also dealing with the villain behind him.

In fact, Mrs. Sophie didn't mean to blame him too much. On the contrary, she was very pleased with Franz's behavior because she always felt that Franz was not cruel enough.

However, Mrs. Sophie was very dissatisfied with Adjani's attitude of not reporting to her and concealing the facts, because for Mrs. Sophie, although Adjani was trained by her, she was still by Franz's side. an unstable factor.

"Now the person who gave advice to that bitch is almost dead. Now I plan to make peace with her. Will she forgive me?" Mrs. Sophie is obviously very satisfied with the current result.

Although she didn't do it, she still feels very proud.

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

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

"At your command, Madam Sophie." Adjani looked humble and respectful.

"Mother, Miss Adjani still has a lot of work to do." Franz couldn't bear to see Adjani's appearance and planned to help her out.

However, Mrs. Sophie did not seem to intend to betray Franz, and touched his head lovingly.

"The knife will become dull if it is not sharpened. Let me help you. She will be able to use it better in the future."
