Chapter 541 The Queen's Plan
In the end, Purficott and Princess Anne did not reach any consensus, and the two parties even broke up on bad terms.
An eyewitness said that Princess Anne looked very ugly when she left the Northern Lord's Mansion, and she even almost fell down on the steps outside the Lord's Mansion.
Although a royal attendant soon came out to refute the rumor and said that Her Royal Highness the Princess just staggered and did not almost fall, a photo of the Princess who almost fell was published in the newspaper. This matter has reached the forefront.
This is also the second time that the relationship between Purficot and Princess Anne has been so tense. The last time was when Purphycot’s parents had just passed away, and Princess Anne tried to adopt him. Especially, when she was sternly rejected.
"Miss, we have asked the newspaper to publish the photo as you requested, and the response from all walks of life has been strong." Perficott's loyal old housekeeper reported to Perficott.
Although he still wears a simple tuxedo and looks like a serious yet kind old man, Foster is now a legendary knight with the help of the divine potion.
Perfect, who was sitting on the chair, curled up into the huge armchair, with his back to Foster and facing out the window, letting Fu, who was standing behind him, Ste was unable to detect Purficott's emotions at this moment.
He just heard Purficott reply to him with a simple "I know", and there were very obvious traces of suppressing his emotions in his tone.
This made Foster very distressed, so he took the initiative to ask: "If you don't want to, Miss, why don't you tell Her Royal Highness the truth?"
"Tell her the truth? What effect would that have?" Purficott's voice became more self-deprecating, and then melancholy again: "Aunt Anne must learn to understand that if she wants to become a qualified monarch, she must Changes must be made.
Her Majesty the Queen personally begged, even risking her own life. How could I bear to refuse the plea of an old mother? "
That day, the Queen came to Po in person. When Feiket was there, he not only made a deal with her for the divine potion, but more importantly, he reached another deal with Perfectiket.
The specific details cannot be disclosed to the public, and even the transaction itself must remain top secret. Only those involved in the relevant events can know some details.
Only Perfectcott and the Queen can know what happened. Even Perfectcourt’s old housekeeper Foster only knew that the Queen begged her own lady to help Anne. The eldest princess grew up to be a qualified monarch.
During this period, Purficott's sudden expansion of the army and his attitude towards Princess Anne can actually be regarded as the specific execution of this transaction.
At first glance, it seems that this has nothing to do with helping Princess Anne grow into a qualified monarch, but once you think about it, what if the person you trust the most suddenly becomes a powerful minister who betrays you and has been protecting you all this time? Her mother also suddenly died suddenly due to unknown reasons. Princess Anne, who was pushed to the throne, would be forced to become a qualified monarch no matter how unwilling she was.
Although it seemed very outrageous, Purficott also found it unbelievable when she heard that the Queen had made this decision.
The situation has really reached this point. Does the Queen need to risk her own life to force Princess Anne to grow up?
If Purphycott is just a powerful official to force Princess Anne to grow up, this intensity may be enough in peacetime. As long as Purphycott controls the intensity, Princess Anne can be made grown up.
Even if the empire is facing various problems now, it is indeed a critical moment that requires Princess Anne to quickly grow up as the heir to the throne, but in Purficott's view, it is not to the extent that the queen needs to pay the price with her life. .
However, the Queen's words, "I don't have much time left," made Purficott finally give up trying to persuade the Queen and chose to cooperate.
She checked the Queen's body and found that the Queen had indeed run out of fuel. Although everything seemed normal now, that was the result of an entire medical team using various methods to prolong the Queen's life. . Purficott was surprised by this. After all, she was the empress of the most powerful empire in the world. She undoubtedly had the best conditions to continue her life.
Even if there are no alchemy masters of the level of Perfecticot and Sandrillon, those specially raised by the royal family are not vegetarians. Immortality may not be possible, but for There is no problem for the Queen to maintain a healthy body.
So logically speaking, the Queen's body shouldn't look like this.
This made Perfico take out the Philosopher's Stone on the spot to make an elixir for the Queen.
As one of the highest achievements of alchemy, one of the important uses of the Philosopher's Stone is to make elixirs that allow people to achieve immortality.
However, faced with this kind of temptation that any king would flock to, the queen chose to refuse.
“I’m old, little Purficott, I’ve lived long enough! The empire has prospered in my hands and has become the world’s most powerful country, and it’s people like you who can help. I feel very satisfied that the empire has survived this disaster.”
"Perhaps Anne is somewhat unqualified as the heir, but I have no regrets in this life."
"The only person who can't worry is Anne. She is too inexperienced and lacks the necessary skills as a king. The conspiracy and ruthlessness, all these can only be done by you to make up this lesson for her.”
“The current empire needs a qualified leader, and Anne still lacks the strength to bear it. You need to help her fulfill this important responsibility."
"As for me? I have lived long enough and I am tired. I really don't have the energy to continue to support the empire."< br>
"After being in politics for so many years, my reforms have touched the interests of too many people. Someone once poisoned me. Although I survived, the root cause of the disease was also found. I have been hanging on for a long time these years. I’ve already had enough.”
"If Annie can grow up, what's the difference between me living a few days less and living a few more days? It's just that I have worked hard on you and need you to do things you don't want to do..."
"Forgive me Me, little Purficott! Forgive an old man for using you to do these things."
Remembering the Queen's request to him, Purficott sighed helplessly again.
If possible, she really doesn’t want to get involved in this kind of thing, and she doesn’t want the Queen to use this method to help Princess Anne grow up.
But as the Queen said, the empire needs a qualified leader. Princess Anne’s growth is too slow. Both the Queen and Perfect Court have given her too many opportunities, but she The growth is still unsatisfactory.
There is no other way but to take strong medicine now.
