Chapter 60: Thinking About Each Other (Part 1)

Grand Duke Constantine didn't like Viscount Prozolov's best strategy very much. The reason was very simple, because the Viscount suggested that he lower his profile and build a good relationship with Alexei and Li Xiao, and reach a cooperation in a peaceful way.

This is totally unacceptable to Grand Duke Constantine. It doesn’t matter if he is only asked to put down his attitude and have a good relationship with Alexei. Anyway, it’s not like he hasn’t played this kind of trick of courteous corporals before, so it doesn’t matter if he re-fries. .

Moreover, with Alexei's identity and status, it was worth him to make a living, but with the addition of Li Xiao, the situation was completely different.

Grand Duke Constantine didn't like Li Xiao very much, or hated Li Xiao very much. The last confrontation between the two sides in St. Petersburg made him lose face. He still remembers this account!

What's more, Nicholas I hated someone so much that he publicly stated on many occasions within the family that he would kill Li Xiao, a **** bastard. Now Viscount Prozolov suggested that he put down his hatred, put down his family's hostility and shake hands with someone, how could this be acceptable!

Grand Duke Constantine definitely couldn't accept it, so he rejected this best policy without hesitation, and instead adopted the current strategy. To be honest, Viscount Prozolov is very sorry.

Because in his opinion, the best way out for Grand Duke Constantine is actually to cooperate with Alexei and Li Xiao. After all, the other party has already opened up the situation in Wallachia, and they have done a very good job. If the cooperation can be reached in a win-win manner, it is really not difficult for Grand Duke Constantine to do something in Moldavia.

It's a pity that Grand Duke Constantine refused, so Viscount Prozolov could only coerce and coerce if he wanted to get the resources from Wallachia or Alexei. For him, although this method can achieve his goal, it is by no means perfect, and it even feels like killing a chicken to get an egg.

Viscount Prozolov thinks that Alexei is very important. Not only is he the son of Earl Speranski, he is naturally welcomed by the reformers, but he is also a great official of the empire. After a few more years, he will be the imperial minister.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an imperial minister as an ally?

But Grand Duke Constantine just couldn't figure it out, so he let the talent of Alexei go in vain. It wasn't even Alexei alone. Viscount Prozolov carefully studied Alexei's family history in Wallachia, found clues from clues, and found that behind Alexei there was another The powerful group headed by the Gorchakov family and the Duke of Ordorf.

Needless to say, the strength of this group. If Grand Duke Constantine could obtain the friendship of these two groups, the situation would be completely different.

It's a pity that Grand Duke Constantine couldn't listen at all,

Viscount Prozolov could only sigh with regret. But he is not particularly depressed, because as a counselor, he has long known that not all suggestions will be accepted, such as Grand Duke Constantine has already been calculated.

【I can only persuade His Highness in the future and work hard to repair the relationship with Earl Speranski. 】

Viscount Prozolov still wanted to pull Alexei into the chariot of Grand Duke Constantine, and was already planning how to repair the relationship after the event was completed, but he had no idea that this day might never come.

A few days later, Viscount Prozolov suddenly received the news—Count Vladimir was ill, very ill, kind of unconscious!

This news made him overjoyed, because he knew that more than half of the matter had been successful, and it was his turn to play next.

"Go and remind Golitsyn or Melikov and let them pay attention to Count Vladimir's illness. Make sure they notice that this illness is not easy! Let them be villains!"

In fact, Viscount Prozolov did not need to remind Melikov to realize that Count Vladimir's illness was not simple. A senior nobleman with a healthy living environment and a good living environment would not be so prone to scarlet fever.

In this era, scarlet fever is very common, but this infectious disease is generally more prevalent among the poor. In the words of that era, the living environment of the poor is too bad, and they are attacked by the disease in the filth.

The noble nobles generally believed that they had no relationship with this low-level disease, especially the nobles with a very noble blood like Count Vladimir were considered completely impossible to suffer from this disease.

"There must be something wrong here! Your Excellency the Earl just agreed to cooperate with His Highness the Grand Duke and suddenly fell ill. Someone must be playing tricks!"

Golitsyn was very angry and mad. He had just reported the good news to Grand Duke Konstantin. When he turned his head, Count Vladimir fell unconscious. It seemed that the posture was ominous. In case Count Vladimir gets pissed off, wouldn't it be a waste of his work!

Golitsyn was still counting on Count Vladimir to get to the top, but the peak was blown up at the foot of the mountain. Do you think he can enjoy it?

Arkady was not as crazy as Golitsyn, not because he thought that Count Vladimir's illness was fine, in fact, he also had doubts, after all, Count Vladimir stayed at home these days. Don't take a step, it doesn't make sense to suddenly contract scarlet fever.

But right now, Count Vladimir is already falling ill. At this time, investigating the cause of the disease is far less important than treating the disease and saving lives.

"I have already reported to the Governor's Mansion. The Governor has sent the best doctor. As for the cause of the disease, I have no idea yet..."

Golitsyn sneered at this, and he snorted coldly: "What's the use of reporting to the governor? I'm afraid your governor is wishing that His Excellency the Earl died, how could he try his best to send a good doctor? It's hard to say whether it has anything to do with the Governor's Mansion! If you want me to say, it's safer to change a batch of doctors!"

Arkady frowned. In fact, he was also worried about this, but he felt that unless Alexei was kicked in the head by a donkey, he would openly instigate the doctor to make a name for himself, because these are well documented, and he also If you watch it yourself, there shouldn't be a big problem.

As for whether the Governor's Mansion had anything to do with the illness, he didn't dare to say for sure, but he didn't dare to be careless without solid evidence. After all, he was not Golitsyn, and he didn't have the ancestral title of Marquis to help him prevent disasters.

As for whether to change a batch of doctors, Arkady was a little undecided. It would be safer to switch to a batch of more reliable doctors, but the problem was that he didn't have the resources in this regard, not to mention that if the replacement was inappropriate, it would eventually aggravate the situation. Count Vladimir's illness even led to his death. Who is responsible for this?
