Maria Pavlovna finally came to her senses and knew that she had oversimplified the problem. What Duke Alexander was worried about was not the revolutionary movement at all, but Austria!

Yes, after Li Xiao's hint, she finally realized what Duke Alexander's purpose was.

Austria was the most severely injured in this revolutionary movement. To put it bluntly, it was almost on the verge of disintegration. If Russia hadn't pulled a hand, they would have finished their calculations at this moment.

Before Maria Pavlovna felt that Nicholas I was a bit uninteresting, and he rushed to send troops to help when something happened in Vienna, but why didn't he see him so caring when William was forced to go into exile when something happened in Berlin first?

Speaking of which, the relationship between William and him is even closer. After all, they are both his second uncle and niece and son-in-law. But he turned his elbow outward, which is really not caring for his own people!

Now that Li Xiao mentioned that Duke Alexander wanted to strengthen the relationship with Prince William, and then deal with a series of troubles and problems brought about by the weakening of Austria's national power, this made Maria Pavlovna a little happy.

Of course, she was more puzzled, because she didn't quite understand why Duke Alexander did this.

Li Xiao is very cautious on this point, because if he talks too much, it is easy to expose his cards. If this aunt and King William I know that Duke Alexander is not against Nesselrode and Schwarzenberg, they hope to use the power of Prussia to delay the battle. Austria's hind legs, maybe this shrewd aunt is about to open her mouth.

So he replied lightly: "Your Excellency always believes that Prussia is more important to our country than Austria... Not only does there not have any conflict of interest between the two countries, but there is also a common enemy. If the relationship between the two countries can be strengthened and a deeper relationship can be developed Friendships are very beneficial in the long run!"

This is a diplomatic cliché, saying it is actually the same as not saying it. At least Maria Pavlovna, a woman who is not particularly focused on politics, can't quite understand it, but no matter how much she continued to question Li Xiao, she didn't say anything more, which made her helpless.

In desperation, she could only give up temporarily, and instead told Li Xiao and Carl Alexander the next day: "Today we set off for Berlin together. I haven't seen Augusta for a long time. I don't know if she is okay. I'm really worried!"

Karl Alexander didn't know why his old mother wanted to go to Berlin all of a sudden, but he knew that Berlin was actually not stable, because his brother-in-law was not very popular in Berlin because of the suppression of the revolutionary movement, and many radical revolutionaries were against him. It is not ruled out that someone wants to assassinate the king.

It was a bit dangerous to go to Berlin at this time.

As a son, he felt that it was enough for him to represent his parents and go to condolences, and there was no need for the old mother to make another trip.

"That can't be done!" Maria Pavlovna refused straight away, and she swore: "I must see Augusta with my own eyes to be relieved!"

Karl Alexander suddenly felt dizzy, and his stubborn old mother really made him unable to do anything, so he could only talk about his old father: "But what about your father after you left? His health has not been very good recently, and he was left alone. It's not good to stay at home..."

Karl Alexander felt that his trick should work, but unexpectedly, Maria Pavlovna said: "Is that so? Then you can only let your father go with us, and there is a good guy on the way." Take care, and he has been very worried about Augusta and William, and wants to visit them, then..."

Now Karl Alexander was at a loss, he could only quickly interrupt: "This is impossible, my father's health is too poor, and he cannot withstand the bumpy journey, so we must not take him with him."

Now he fell into the trap of Maria Pavlovna, the cunning old mother who was originally planning to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and she immediately replied: "Then we can only keep your father, we Go early and return early, that's the decision!"

Carl Alexander was dumbfounded immediately. He really didn't expect such a result, but who made him a strong old mother! He said that he was right, and now she had boarded the carriage, and she didn't give him any chance to persuade him.

The poor child could only look at Li Xiao helplessly, hoping that his cousin would stand up and help, but Li Xiao couldn't help, because he knew too well why this aunt was going to Berlin.

So he could only say to the poor child: "It's useless, even if I go, because my aunt has a reason to go to Berlin, and it's useless to persuade her!"

[The reason why you must go to Berlin? 】

Karl Alexander is confused, what kind of reason is necessary to see his sister Augusta? If I'm really worried, I will write a letter and ask my sister and brother-in-law to come back and live with me for a few days, why bother to go there in person. The snow is torrential and the road is not stable. What should I do if something happens to me?

"Isn't there still you!" Maria Pavlovna said bluntly, "Didn't you always say how powerful you are, you are an excellent soldier, then there should be no problem protecting mother! "

Carl Alexander was so stunned that he couldn't speak, so he could only get out of his old mother's car in disgrace, and went to complain to Li Xiao.

"You are so happy! You are enviable, Karl!"

Faced with Li Xiao's exclamation that Karl Alexander was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, he asked, "Why do you say that?"

Li Xiao shook his head and smiled, "Originally this trip to Berlin to inform Cousin Augusta should only be your job, but because your performance yesterday made my aunt very dissatisfied, she decided to go there in person because you have such a wholehearted heart Aren't you happy to love your mother?"

Carl Alexander became more and more confused. He thought about what happened yesterday, but he didn't think there was any problem with his performance at all. He could only ask helplessly, "Did I perform poorly yesterday? Was it because of my friend's performance?" Have you exposed your identity in front of us, or..."

"No!" Li Xiao said with a smile, "My aunt asked you to receive me yesterday, but she actually wanted you to trick me into finding out the purpose of my trip to Berlin to find His Royal Highness Prince William, but you don't seem to understand at all. Her intentions..."

Carl Alexander's eyes widened immediately, and he stared helplessly at the sincere Li Xiao, all he could think of was: [Did mother really mean that yesterday? Why can't I see it at all? 】
