Struggle in Russia

Count Rostovtsev looked at Li Xiao quietly for a while, and then slowly asked: "Do you really want to use that woman?"

Li Xiao replied frankly: "Yes, she should be more useful, I think it will come in handy sometime in the future!"

Count Rostovtsev hummed, and continued to ask calmly: "What about Grand Duke Constantine and Count Shuvalov?"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "I don't think this is a big problem, right?"

Now Count Rostovtsev also smiled, but even if he smiled, the corners of his mouth were only slightly raised, and it was impossible to tell that it was a smile without looking carefully.

"How did you find out?" Count Rostovtsev rested his hands on the armrest and clasped them, like a teacher who was giving a question to test his students.

Li Xiao smiled and said: "It's not difficult to guess. With your style, you will definitely not make things so obvious. You must not let Grand Duke Constantine or Count Shuvalov see your true inclination..."

After a short pause, Li Xiao looked up at the count and continued: "What's more, my uncle's temper is absolutely unwilling to see a huge scandal involving the royal family or high-ranking nobles at this juncture, so..."

Count Rostovtsev said the next words in his stead: "So those who deal with this matter had better make the big things smaller, and get rid of everything that caused gossip, and let it all go away peacefully." clean!"

Li Xiao also smiled and said: "Yes, this is the best result. However, it would be more ideal to properly teach some people a lesson, teach them a little lesson, and make them act more cautiously!"

Count Rostovtsev smiled again: "Isn't that what I'm doing?"

Li Xiao chuckled and said, "Yes, you have done a very good job. I believe Grand Duke Constantine and Count Shuvalov will learn a lesson. Do you want me to help you arrange a few scapegoats?"

Count Rostovtsev shook his head slightly and said: "There is no need for that, we have already arranged for the dead ghost, those Polish foot wipes are perfect for those roles!"

Li Xiao snorted again, it is indeed a good way to put all the blame on the Polish foot cloth. First of all, this group of people does exist, and secondly, these people have been taken over by Count Rostovtsev, and there are enough heads to explain. Finally, since the failure of the last European revolution, there have been faint signs of trouble in Poland. Nicholas I always wanted to find an excuse to beat them, and now he has an excuse.

All right,

Count Rostovtsev is really impeccable in his work, he arranges everything properly, everyone is clearly arranged, he is like a well-organized director, making all the actors obediently follow his requirements A wonderful drama was put on.

From this point of view, the earl is really powerful, at least Li Xiao doesn't think he has such a level. Compared with the earl, he can only be regarded as tricks and tricks that are at best a bit of a whimsy.

"When will Grand Duke Constantine understand this truth?" Li Xiao asked suddenly.

Count Rostovtsev replied without even raising his eyelids: "Didn't you say that he has a very powerful staff member named Prozolov?"

Li Xiao hummed, he really didn't want to mention this half-brother, that one made him feel awkward, sometimes he wished he didn't know this guy at all.

"It seems that you don't have a good impression of this brother!"

Count Rostovtsev's words startled Li Xiao. After all, he didn't tell anyone about the relationship between Viscount Prozolov and him. Even Alexei's good friends didn't know about their relationship. The real relationship, but this earl just knows, does this have clairvoyance and good ears? How do you know everything?

The corners of Count Rostovtsev's mouth opened a little wider, showing that he was particularly happy about this topic, and he said with a smile: "Don't you think that the affair of Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich was done? Very secretive, right?"

Li Xiao was speechless for a while again, not quite understanding why Count Rostovtsev specifically said this, after all, his cheap old man died long ago, so what else can he say about his romantic debts?

"Not only I know, but His Majesty also knows, even Count Uvarov and other powerful officials know!"

The explanation given by Count Rostovtsev made Li Xiao even more unhappy in an instant. After a long time, it was an open secret, but he was puzzled by one thing. Since so many people knew it, then Constance Does Duke Ding know?

Count Rostovtsev did not answer directly, but asked instead: "What do you think?"

Li Xiao thought a lot for a moment. Considering the black-bellied nature of Nicholas I's family, the little fat man who likes to tell fables probably knew about it, but he deliberately pretended not to know. The little fat man looked more and more black-bellied!

"This is the royal family, isn't it normal?" Count Rostovtsev said easily, "Don't underestimate your opponent, for example, you have been thinking about how to make Grand Duke Constantine realize how to be correct. In fact, you don't need to worry too much about him, with his ability and education, he will soon realize..."

While talking, Sergei knocked on the door and walked in lightly, and respectfully handed a folded note to Count Rostovtsev. The count opened the note and glanced at it, then just waved his hand. After Sergey went out, he handed the note to Li Xiao.

"Let's see!"

The content of the note was very simple, and it only said one thing, that is, Grand Duke Constantine had secretly contacted Count Shuvalov, and the two sides briefly met.

Although the note did not specify why the two met and what they talked about after the meeting, but Li Xiao knew that it didn't matter whether he wrote it or not, because the two people who existed as mortal enemies chose to meet, which meant that they realized that continuing to do so There will be no good results if the confrontation continues. The two are probably conspiring to negotiate and are already considering ending it.

Li Xiao handed the note back to Count Rostovtsev, who quietly set the note on fire, and waited until it was burnt to ashes and crushed the ashes before he raised his head and said, "How is it? Kostya Did it surprise you?"

Li Xiao sighed and said, "It's a little bit, but it's not too surprising. Although he's a little bit smart, but it's undeniable that he's honed in these years, and he still has a sense of politics. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make such a fuss!"
