Struggle in Russia

"Peja, what do we do now?"

Already flustered, Neridova's face was gloomy. For the first time, she felt that money was so hot, and for the first time that the Winter Palace was so difficult to deal with. Now she was in a dilemma and didn't know where to go.

Count Kleinmichel is not much better than her. He has long known that old Adlerberg is very difficult to mess with, and he is not at all willing to get involved in this big trouble. But he couldn't tell the truth about the relevant information, because he knew that Count Rostovtsev was even more difficult to mess with.

"Is that earl more difficult than that old fox just now?" Nelidova asked suspiciously.

In her opinion, old Adlerberg was quite terrifying, and a few words made her shudder. But that Count Rostovtsev didn't have much sense of presence, he was neither the minister of court affairs nor the confidant of the crown prince, and usually kept a low profile like an ordinary consultant. Such a person will be more powerful than the old fox?

Count Kleinmichel looked at Nelidova and sighed, and said with emotion: "It's a hundred times more difficult and powerful than that old fox!"

Speaking of this, he seemed to have evoked some horrible memories, and suddenly shivered. Just as he was about to explain something, he heard the maid outside knocking on the door.

"Miss, I have your letter."

Neridova is a little strange, she often receives various letters, most of them are fanatical love letters, from all kinds of sand sculpture nobles who don't know how deep they are, and she usually takes it for fun.

It's just that she had told her personal maid a long time ago that this kind of letter can be left alone, and she will deal with it when she is free and bored, but why did she come here to report today?

[Is this letter important? 】

Thinking of this, Neridova asked, "Who is the letter from?"

The maid replied through the door: "The signature is Count Rostovtsev..."

Before she finished speaking, Nelidova rushed to open the door and almost snatched the letter. The sender was indeed Count Rostovtsev, which made her shiver suddenly.

The earl was mentioned just now, how could it be such a coincidence that the earl wrote to her? No such coincidence?

Count Kleinmichel also stared at the envelope with a gloomy face. Knowing the secrets of the palace, he knew that there had never been any coincidences, at least for that count, there were no coincidences.

"Is this a demonstration?" Nelidova asked angrily.

Count Kleinmichel's face was ugly, and he replied in a deep voice: "No, that count doesn't need a demonstration, it should be a warning!"

Nelidova said angrily: "Warning? Why did he warn me? I was in a hurry. I told old Adlerberg that he was the one who was playing tricks and let them eat dogs!"

Count Kleinmichel persuaded a little irritably: "Let's read what is said in the letter first!"

Neridova tore the envelope in a single stroke, unfolded the letter in two or three strokes, and soon her face became very ugly.

"This is scarier than a demonstration!" Earl Kleinmichel twitched his Adam's apple twice, and murmured with some difficulty.

Yes, the content of the letter is indeed more terrifying than the demonstration. Because Count Rostovtsev wrote in a relaxed tone as soon as he came up:

"Beautiful lady, Count Vladimir Adlerberg should have already paid a visit to you. If I did not miscalculate, he should have asked you to inquire about some news related to me..."

"I know that this will cause you some trouble and worry. As a gentleman, and this matter is caused by me, I feel that it is necessary to resolve your worries..."

"What Count Adlerberg wants to know, you can tell him, including those about your conversation with His Majesty... There is no need to be nervous, and you can easily accept Count Adlerberg's 'kindness'... Your Majesty can ask you Guaranteed, there will be no future troubles...Finally, please give my regards to Earl Kleinmichel, my best regards!"

Both Neridova and Count Kleinmichel looked like they had seen a ghost. In their hearts, Count Rostovtsev was probably no different from a ghost.

This man could predict that old Adlerberg would go to them, and told them that they could sell everything to old Adlerberg without caring. She even knew that Earl Kleinmichel was by her side. This is simply a horror story and nothing to fear, okay?

"Then what does he mean by writing this letter?" Neridova asked suspiciously, "If he doesn't care, why bother?"

Earl Kleinmichel replied dumbfoundedly: "Don't you know? This is not superfluous, this is forcing us to stand in line, okay?"

Nelidova asked suspiciously: "Which team are you standing on?"

Count Kleinmichel sighed. Neridova was really super smart when she was smart, but she was also confused when she was confused. How could she not understand such a simple truth?

"The count is forcing us to choose between him and Count Adlerberg!" Count Kleinmichel explained bitterly: "He really doesn't care whether we inform or not. But if we choose To inform you is to stand on the opposite side of him, choose to be his enemy, and he will not be polite to the enemy!"

Neridova replied nonchalantly: "If you're welcome, you're welcome! What can he do to us?"

Count Kleinmichel wryly smiled and said: "Don't you see how terrifying this count is? Knowing that Count Adlerberg is a member of the crown prince, he still dared to embarrass him. Knowing that you and I Your Majesty still dares to write a letter to warn you. And you know our actions like the back of your hand, aren’t these obvious enough?”

Neridova fell silent. In fact, she was also frightened. It was just a dead duck's mouth just now. She really didn't have the guts to put her right with Count Rostovtsev.

"Then what do we do now?" Nelidova asked with a sad face.

Count Kleinmichel sighed: "What else can I do? See whether you choose to be friends with Count Adlerberg or Count Rostovtsev?"

Nelidova thought for a while, but she really had no idea, and asked again: "What do you think? Which of these two is better?"

Count Klein Michel replied: "If I had to choose, it would be the Count Rostovtsev. To be honest, both of them are dangerous, but Adlerberg's background and danger depend on It's clear, but that earl... I really can't see how dangerous it is!"

Neridova nodded, looked at the check on the table again, her eyes were full of reluctance, she turned her head away after a long time, closed her eyes and said, "Then take the check and return it to Count Adlerberg , tell him that I haven't been able to find any news..."
