Madame Du Barry opened her mouth in confusion, but was too speechless to say anything.

Louis XV was also shocked for a while before he came to his senses and murmured to himself:

"Auguste? He spent seven million livres at the auction? Where did he get all that money?!"

After saying that, Louis XV suddenly realized something, and looked down in shock at Lawrence, who was still kneeling on one knee.

In the suite, the press secretary was still talking loudly about the wonderful auction:

"Citizens soon realized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had deliberately bought these collections at high prices in order to donate more funds to the poor, but no one could believe that His Highness the Crown Prince actually spent seven million livres.

After they believed this fact, the entire Paris Comedy Theater was said to be filled with sincere praise from the citizens. They bowed neatly to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, praising him for being a kind and great monarch in the future.

"

Louis XV was startled for a moment, then subconsciously asked with joy:

"You mean Augustus? People bowed to him and said he was going to be a great king?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Absolutely, Your Majesty!" The press secretary opened his briefcase and took out a few copies that had just been printed this morning, and also brought

The newspaper, smelling of ink, reported excitedly:

"In fact, all the newspapers this morning made this the front page news - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spent seven million for the poor people of Paris; I walked around the city this morning, and almost everyone mentioned this news

On the lips, almost everyone's mouth is full of praises for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince; he is kind, enlightened, has a holy heart, and loves the people like a son. I dare say that I will never see so many compliments anywhere else except in the dictionary.

Words."

"Oh my God! Give me the newspaper, I want to see it myself!"

As Louis XV listened to the press secretary's narration, and listened to his beloved grandson being eulogized by the citizens, the old king suddenly felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart, reaching straight to his heavenly cap:

"Auguste, my good grandson, the heir of France, so well done! I dare say I have never received such support in my life, but Auguste, he did it so easily, it's really

A gift from God!”

Louis XV eagerly read the praises of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the newspapers. Whenever he saw a word of praise, the joy in his heart was like adding a handful of firewood and it burned even more vigorously. This was even more intense than before.

He is even more happy to see praise for himself.

After all, for this old king who is about to run out of money and is already in his sixties, what he cares most about is his future heir. He values ​​Crown Prince Louis even more than himself.

Seeing that his grandson had become a saint among the people, Louis XV's excited heart simply had nowhere to rest.

"correct!"

Halfway through reading, Louis XV suddenly remembered something. He quickly threw away the newspaper in his hand, stood up suddenly and rushed to Lawrence who was kneeling on the ground. He helped him up with an apologetic face and said guiltily:

"Lawrence, my dear Lawrence, I want to apologize to you, the most sincere apology! Please accept it, otherwise my conscience will be condemned by God!"

By this time, Louis XV also completely understood.

The main purpose of Lawrence holding this charity auction is not for his own reputation at all, but for the public opinion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In this way, there is no reason to say that this charity auction has exposed the royal family and the government to be incompetent and corrupt. Instead, it has enabled Crown Prince Louis to gain a large wave of public support and support.

Moreover, Louis XV also knew very well that whether it was the auction at the Paris Comedy or the seven million livres, it must have been prepared by Lawrence himself. Crown Prince Louis himself did not have these abilities.

In other words, this Corsican kneeling on the ground is the hero behind all this.

When he thought that he had just treated him coldly, and even thought about depriving him of his position as punishment, Louis XV instantly felt a sense of guilt flowing through the blood vessels of his body, torturing his conscience like a burning phosphorus fire.
