Chapter 71 The Desired Situation (Part 2)

The scene that Viscount Prozolov hoped to see finally appeared, and the aristocratic circle in Bucharest finally began to have an undercurrent.

But he was not satisfied, because just this level of turmoil was not enough, the water was not enough to muddle people's minds or turmoil, what he wanted was choppy waves, which had to boil like water in a boiling pot.

A conspirator like him always needs to add fuel to the fire at such a time, but what makes him more depressed is that he finds that the oil in his hand seems to be a bit insufficient.

In other words, it is very troublesome to choose a fueling candidate. According to his original plan, Melikov should be the most suitable candidate, but who made the plan change halfway? This guy fell out with him and Golitsyn. controlled state.

It is impossible to expect this guy to go out and stir up trouble, so Viscount Prozolov has a headache and is entangled. The headache is that there are not enough manpower or cannon fodder, and the tangle is that he does not want to give up this opportunity.

Not wanting to give up the opportunity means that he can only do it himself, but doing it himself does not match the temperament of his mastermind behind the scenes. As a professional schemer he has always insisted on one point - others are chess pieces and he is the chess player.

Once he is officially off the stage as a chess player, there will be too many uncertain factors. The most intuitive one is that in case of a mistake, he will have no room for maneuver.

But if he doesn't take action in the current situation, if he doesn't add fuel to the fire, it's hard to say how the situation will develop. The previous temptation had exposed him to Alexei, and if nothing else happened, the other party would keep a close eye on him and not give him a chance to continue making trouble. It's just that Alexey's method, without his interference, is really possible to stabilize the situation. Wouldn't the previous efforts be in vain?

Viscount Prozolov hates failure more than the unpredictable danger. He has learned from his mother a lesson that is more true than gold, that is, the winner wins everything, and the loser gets nothing. From the moment his mother failed to compete for the throne of the Grand Duchess, this one has been deeply remembered in his heart.

He suddenly asked, "How has Count Vladimir's condition changed?"

"Everything is as usual, I still have a fever, and the situation is still not optimistic..."

Viscount Prozolov tapped the table with his slender index finger, which he did subconsciously whenever he hesitated.

After a long while, he said: "Observe his situation closely, and I will know immediately if there is any change!"

Viscount Prozolov decided to wait patiently. Count Vladimir would be the last straw that broke his camel's back.

As long as the earl really dies, the pressure on Alexei will be unprecedented. At that time, he doesn't believe that the other party can still be so stubborn and not bow his head.

Of course, if the earl's condition improves, he will not sit idly by. At that time, the inside line he arranged will act as a trump card and will directly result in Earl Vladimir. back.

But he won't make this decision until the last moment, because the risk of doing so is still not small. Judging from the current situation, Count Vladimir may not be able to survive, so it's better to wait...

This wait is a week, and the wait is not all good news. As his side failed to further add fuel to the flames, the nobles who were about to move in Bucharest seemed to die down again. What was worse was not this side, but what was even worse was the transmission from the inside line he had placed next to Count Vladimir. The worst news-Count Vladimir's condition has improved greatly!

Scarlet fever is like this. If you can survive it, you'll be fine, but if you can't, you'll die. A scourge like Count Vladimir's life is too hard, and he will slowly heal after the most dangerous period.

But this is not what Viscount Prozolov wanted. He hoped that Count Vladimir would lose his head, only in this way could he fish in troubled waters.

Finally, Viscount Prozolov made up his mind, he could no longer sit idly by: "Give the poison to the insider, let him finish Count Vladimir as soon as possible!"

"What?!"

This order frightened his subordinates, because it was one thing to kill Golitsyn, but another to kill Count Vladimir. After all, that person is the blood of Emperor Nicholas I. If he is poisoned, it will cause an uproar!

The frightened subordinates quickly persuaded: "Isn't this too risky? What's more, once Count Vladimir is poisoned to death, Alexei can't explain it. Isn't this..."

Viscount Prozolov certainly knew the risks involved, and also knew that Alexei would face unimaginable pressure, but he always believed that the risk was worth it. In other words, most of the risks are Alexei's. Even if His Royal Highness fails to keep him in the end, if someone else becomes the Governor of Wallachia, the Grand Duke Constantine, he can still threaten and lure him. The next Governor may not have it. Lexy is so tough.

Anyway, Viscount Prozolov felt that he would not lose money here, so he must do it!

"Do it! Don't babble, I will take all the responsibilities!"

With his order, Count Vladimir's fate was almost fixed. If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon die of poison, and then Viscount Prozolov could go to the Governor's Mansion again to show off his might and persecute him. Alexey gave in.

To be honest, he couldn't wait for this, so he made preparations early, waiting for Alexei to send someone to invite him, and he did wait until this moment, the next morning, The governor's office sent someone to invite him.

【Hahaha! 】

Viscount Prozolov wanted to laugh up to the sky, because he knew that he had won the bet again. He won all of Alexei's chips with a stud, and he could do whatever he wanted next.

This put him in a good mood. When he walked into the Governor's Mansion, his figure was a little fluttering. He walked in like a victor, especially when he saw Li Xiao was also there, he was in a good mood. He was even happier, because he felt that he had already won back the game his mother lost.

He couldn't help but think about what Li Xiao's ending would be. It would definitely be very tragic, because Li Xiao was destined to be responsible for the blame, and Nicholas I would be very happy to let Li Xiao be buried with Count Vladimir.

When he thought that Li Xiao would die under his plan, he felt that the old mother under Jiuquan would be very relieved that she could finally vent her anger!
