Soon, Alice was brought to Egron.
After seeing His Majesty, Alice carefully observed his words and expressions, and then discovered that His Majesty seemed not to be in a good mood.
"Your Majesty, how are you lately?" So, she was not busy talking about her own affairs, but greeted Aiglon in a gentle and concerned tone.
If it were normal, Aigron would not feel anything, but in this recent "worrying" period, the greetings from this "friend" moved Aigron extremely.
"Sigh... it's not very good. It's always annoying. But what can we do? We can only face it."
Aigron shrugged, and then asked the other party with concern, "Madam, how are you doing lately? You said you have something important to report to me, what is it?"
Alice was already prepared for this question, so she blushed slightly, then lowered her head pretending to be shy, and then replied to Aigron in a tone that was mixed with joy and shame.
"Your Majesty, I might... I might be lucky enough to be pregnant again."
"What!?"
Aigron was stunned in surprise.
Ever since they hooked up, was it just that one time that they hit the target? ! He felt almost unbelievable.
For a moment, he subconsciously thought that Alice was using another trick to deceive him.
But he soon thought that Alice didn't dare to deceive on this kind of issue. Since she came to tell him, it was probably true.
So, is this really my child? He immediately thought of another question.
It was impossible to ask Alice face to face, because it would be a huge insult; besides, Alice was not a showy woman, and living with Agnes during this period, she could not have room to have an affair elsewhere.
So, this is probably... really another unexpected result created by myself.
Was it because she was too "brave" that day, or was Alice, who had been separated from her husband for a long time and had been separated for a long time, in a state of easy pregnancy? Or both?
In short, it is meaningless to analyze the reasons. The key now is how to deal with this problem.
Thinking of this, Aigron suddenly felt an even bigger headache.
It might have been fine before, but his wife is currently in a rage because of Maria. If she now knows that her beloved husband is having an affair with someone close to her again and is pregnant, she will What would you think? I'm afraid they will break up immediately; and Agnes will definitely make a fuss if she finds out.
"Your Majesty..." At this moment, Alice asked Aigron softly, "What should I do?"
Aiglon reluctantly retracted his thoughts, and then looked at Alice. At this time, this beautiful young woman was looking at him with pitiful eyes, as if begging him to help her come up with an idea.
Although he knew that this appearance must be a deliberate act, he couldn't help but feel a pity for her at this moment.
Alas, now that things have become like this, what's the point of being angry and anxious? It's better to think of a solution as soon as possible. ….
So, he calmed down and looked at Alice again.
"Don't worry, madam, let's see how to solve this matter together. Before that, I would like to refer to your opinion first, so you might as well answer a few questions for me."
"Okay." Alice replied obediently.
"First of all, do you want to keep this child and let him be born smoothly?" Aigron asked in a gentle tone.
"I want..." Alice immediately nodded heavily, "Your Majesty, I have lost my husband now and also lost most of my relatives. For me, children are almost the last hope in my life, so if I can have more It also means a lot to me to have a child by my side..."
"Okay, then we'll keep him." Aigron also nodded in agreement, "Then, in what capacity do you want this child to face the world? Do you want me to recognize him?"
"No, Your Majesty..." Alice immediately shook her head, "It is true that it is a great honor to have a child whose bloodline you recognize, but as I said before, I don't want to go there as your mistress. To gain attention from the outside world, I hope to serve the empire and the court as a minister beside you and Her Majesty the Queen. If all this is made public, it will inevitably cause me to lose my position in front of Her Majesty the Queen, and I will lose this opportunity forever. This It’s not the result I want to see…”
Then, she changed the topic and sincerely advised Agnes, "Besides, Your Majesty, I also know that this is also a troublesome matter for you. You don't want to have a violent incident with your wife and Agnes because of me. Quarreling, I was the one who took the initiative to seduce you in the first place, and you have absolutely no obligation to bear the trouble caused by this child..."
Alice's reasonable words made Aiglon feel relieved again. Compared with the resentment and quarrels surrounding him now, this kind of common sense seems so precious.
Of course, Aigron also knew that this was not because Alice's temper was really much better than Theresa's. The so-called "reasonableness" was just that their "pursuits" were different; or in other words, they just didn't love her enough.
If she really loved herself as much as Theresa, she would definitely not accept this grievance.
So this is Alice, she always knows what she wants...Aigron thought to himself.
However, now that Alice can make such a statement, it is a lot easier for Aigron.
"Okay, madam, I understand what you mean, and I thank you for being reasonable." Aigron thanked Alice gently, and then he fell into deep thought again.
"But no matter what, this is our child after all, and I can't bear the thought that after he is born, he has to remain anonymous, be fostered into an unknown family, and then suffer like an orphan..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I don't want to see the child suffer this fate, so I want to ask you to have mercy and find a solution for me and the child."
After Alice heard this, she immediately knelt down to Aiglon, and then looked at him pitifully, ready to obey his orders.
And this invisible prayer aroused Aigron's sense of responsibility even more. ….
So after thinking for a moment, he came up with an idea.
"Then we can only go to Edgar and ask him to admit that this is his child, so that the child can have the surname de Treville after he is born, and he will never be insulted."
The solution Aiglon gave was not beyond Alice's expectations. In fact, this was one of the results she was most looking forward to. But on the surface, her child looked in a difficult position.
"Your Majesty, this arrangement is good...but now I have turned against Edgar, and I have brought him to this point. He may not be willing to accept such an arrangement."
"Madam, at this point, he doesn't have much choice." Aigron sighed softly.
Then, he stretched out his hand to help Alice, "Anyway, you should get up first."
Alice grabbed his hand obediently and stood up from the ground. Her slender and mature body naturally leaned on Aigron's body, like a bird clinging to someone.
This is not entirely a performance. After all, she has already bet her future life on His Majesty and the Bonaparte family.
While holding Alice in his arms, Aiglon was thinking about how to deal with Edgar next.
After all, he didn't want this disgraceful incident to be spread out - if it were spread, the world would probably think that he deliberately framed his servant in order to seize his wife (especially since this servant was Well-known nobles), that would be too ugly.
If he really did this, he probably wouldn't care about the image issue, but he was obviously the passive one in this matter, and he didn't want to bear this kind of notoriety in vain.
========================
With the piercing whistle in the Ile de la Cité prison in the Seine River in Paris, Edgar opened his eyes on the bed in his cell and began his hazy day in prison again.
It had been a while since he came to the Ile de la Cité prison, and he had psychologically accepted his identity as a prisoner.
Because he knew that he was actually unjustly accused, after he was imprisoned, Aigron specifically ordered that the prison authorities were not allowed to mistreat this special prisoner. Therefore, his living conditions are actually pretty good recently, and his mental state is not particularly decadent.
Of course, even so, losing his freedom is still a very torturous and painful punishment for him. He was originally naturally active and indulged in pleasure. Now that he is in jail, he can only wander around in a small space every day, and he does not have the sensual and playful behavior of the past. Entertainment, how could he endure this?
But no matter how unbearable it was, he had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill, so he lay there in a daze every day. Only when he was enjoying the breeze would he walk around in the open space or look at the sky in a daze to pass the time.
If there is no end to such days, then Edgar will definitely go crazy soon, but fortunately, he still has thoughts in his heart. He knows that soon, His Majesty will release him and let him leave the country. Fly far away.
If you endure it a little longer...if you endure it a little longer, you can go out, follow Diana and fly around the world, and no longer have to worry about family affairs... This idea has become the spirit that has sustained him until now. pillar. ….
He ate the soup for breakfast in a daze, and then when it was close to noon, two jailors suddenly came over, opened the door of the cell, and pulled him out.
Isn't it time to let off steam now?
"What's going on?" He suddenly trembled. "Is anyone looking for me?"
The jailer did not answer his question, but silently dragged him to a room.
Edgar discovered that there was only one person in the room.
Because the light was a little dim, Edgar's brain was a little rusty. After being slow for several seconds, he finally recognized the other person.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" he asked in a doubtful tone, "You came to see me?"
No wonder he was so confused, because he couldn't think of any way he could be honored enough to be worthy of being sought out by His Majesty.
"Edgar, you don't seem to be doing well right now." Seeing Edgar's desolate appearance, Aigron also had mixed feelings in his heart. "I'm sorry for causing you so much suffering."
"Your Majesty, why do you need to be sorry? You have done your best to me and our family. I have suffered all this because of myself." Edgar shrugged, then smiled bitterly, "It's not your fault if you feel guilty."
Obviously, even at this time, he still had not completely lost the coolness in his bones.
"I'm glad you think so." Aigron also smiled bitterly, "I'm here now to tell you that the limelight is over now, and you can be released from prison from tomorrow -"
"Great, Your Majesty!" Edgar was overjoyed when he heard the news. After all, His Majesty did not break his promise and let him go. "Thank you for your grace!"
Looking at Edgar with a smile on his face, Aigron suddenly felt a flash of guilt in his heart.
"And after you get out, I have one more thing for you to do."
"Huh? What's the matter? Just give me your orders -" Edgar replied immediately.
"After you go out, I will not deport you and Princess Kadiyang immediately. I hope you will return home first and live with your wife for a period of time, about two weeks to a month." Aigron exited. Order.
"Ah? You want me to go with Alice again? This...isn't this good? Is she willing?" Edgar looked embarrassed upon hearing this.
Because of the previous false accusation, Edgar suffered so much. It is impossible to say that he does not have any resentment towards his wife in his heart; and Alice obviously will not forgive herself for going abroad with her mistress. Since the couple Their relationship has broken down and they hate each other, so what’s the point of “getting along” like this?
Faced with Edgar's confused and shocked eyes, Aigron tried his best to appear calm, "Actually, this is quite important to her, because... she is... now pregnant, in order to prevent the outside world from There is some, some unnecessary doubt about the child's lineage, and she needs your help."
When Aigron said this, Edgar's eyes suddenly widened, and then he looked at Aigron with a ghostly expression, and his mouth opened wide, as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.
This look is indeed a bit funny, but to be honest, who can laugh at this time?
He finally regained his breath, "She's pregnant, and then she wants me to help her cover it up?! Okay, this is great, whose child is it?!"
"It's mine." Aigron looked at the other party calmly.
And these words completely shocked Edgar, as if his strength had been drained, he lay back on the chair.
"This incident is more of an accident than a conspiracy. Nothing happened to us before. You should have noticed this if you have been to the palace. It's just that after this happened last time, Alice fell into a deep depression. In the midst of great guilt and pain, I couldn't bear it, and then I comforted her - in the end we couldn't help ourselves, and this happened. You know, I have always had a good impression of her and admire her very much. , I was deeply moved by her talent and wisdom, so at that time, I couldn't control myself... Edgar, I'm sorry."
This is of course not true, but Eggron doesn't want to completely destroy Alice's image in Edgar's mind.
Moreover, this kind of romantic story is more likely to arouse the other person's sympathy.
"So this is God's retribution for me... I gave her one, and she gave me one!" After a long time, Edgar, who finally regained his breath, let out a lament. "It's too accurate..." 39314644.
