It was not Lawrence's deliberate manipulation.

Once the citizens have lost all their patience, Lawrence has no confidence in continuing to delay them. Even if he uses the Beggar King and the Gray Rats, it may be difficult to stop tens of thousands of people who have completely lost their patience.

By then, Lawrence would probably have no choice but to reluctantly advise Crown Prince Louis to order the Swiss Guard to launch armed suppression.

The smile on Prince Louis' face froze for a moment, and then immediately turned into a frown, and he murmured to himself:

"What they want is Madame Du Barry, but do I really have the power to hand over Madame Du Barry to the citizens?"

In the original plan of Lawrence and Prince Louis, His Majesty the King should personally abandon Madame Du Barry and personally order this sinful woman to be handed over to the angry citizens, thereby ending this unprecedented riot.

But no one thought that Louis XV would fall into a coma for a while because of the severe blow he received.

Lawrence did not force him. He could see that the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was hesitant was because he was worried about whether Louis XV would be dissatisfied with his decision, so he patiently persuaded:

"You have this power, Your Highness. Madame Du Barry has been stripped of her noble status and her title of countess by the High Court. She is no longer qualified to be His Majesty's mistress. At this moment, she is just a sinner and a hateful fraud.

By."

"I understand, but..." Crown Prince Louis was still hesitating:

"My grandfather, after he regained consciousness, he learned that I..."

Lawrence smoothed back the ends of his hair that were blowing in the cold wind, leaned on the railing of the stand, pointed at the sea of ​​people below, and said in a deep voice:

"I think the biggest dream of His Majesty the King is that you can become a wise king; have you seen all the people here? They are all your future subjects, and they are also deeply poisoned by Madame Du Barry's crimes.

Victim, Your Highness, please listen to the voice of the people, please take the interests of the kingdom as the criterion, and His Majesty the King will understand your choice."

Crown Prince Louis murmured to himself absently: "For the kingdom..."

After a moment, Prince Louis held his forehead and nodded slightly but firmly:

"You're right, Lawrence."

...

As Crown Prince Louis made up his mind to hand over Madame Du Barry to the High Court and deal with it in accordance with the court's judgment, the courtiers in the stands also breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, this farce is finally coming to an end.

Although His Majesty the King's body was still worried about the hearts of the ministers, everyone's footsteps seemed much lighter at this moment, and they began to leave from the top floor stand in twos and threes.

However, Lawrence was in no hurry to leave.

He deliberately walked at the end of the line, and winked at Dean Edmund, gesturing for him to stay with him.

The wind roared and snowflakes began to fall in the sky.

When only Lawrence and Dean Edmund were left in the stands, Dean Edmund slowly patted the snow off his head and asked doubtfully:

"Your Majesty Bonaparte, is there anything else? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has agreed that we will bring Jeanne Béqué back to the Palace of Justice."

Lawrence nodded, lowered his voice and asked directly:

"So, what will the High Court do with her next?"

Upon hearing this question, Dean Edmund frowned, as if he didn't quite understand why Lawrence asked the question knowingly, but he still answered clearly:

"Naturally, she will be dealt with in accordance with the verdict issued by the trial court, and she will be locked up in the prison of the Palace of Justice for life."

Lawrence's expression was solemn as always, and he was not very happy because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed to hand over Madame Du Barry.

He lowered his head in thought, reached out to catch a falling snowflake, watched the snowflake melt into a drop of cold snow water in his palm, and suddenly said:

"It's very reasonable, Your Excellency Dean, but...considering her subsequent behavior of escaping from the trial court, is the sentence of life imprisonment a bit too light?"

Perhaps due to old age and frailty, Dean Edmund did not respond to Lawrence's question for a moment, but frowned and froze in place.

Lawrence paused and continued in a deep voice:

"You should also understand that as long as Madame Du Barry is alive, His Majesty the King will not let go of the investigation of everything that happened today; even if His Majesty does not pursue the investigation, the Richelieu faction will not let Madame Du Barry's final death go.

value, they will definitely make this woman their mouthpiece and use her words to accuse us."

If Madame Du Barry was really only imprisoned in the Palace of Justice, then when the Duke of Richelieu learned the news about Madame Du Barry, Lawrence could almost conclude that the wily Duke would never give up on Du Barry.

Madam's use.

There is a high probability that he will contact Madame Du Barry secretly, and then use Madame Du Barry to make the most serious accusations against Louis XV and Lawrence and others.

Lawrence was very familiar with this method, after all, he himself used the same method to manipulate Jean Du Barry to accuse Madame Du Barry.

And Lawrence will never let the seeds of this hidden danger be planted.

In the stands, Dean Edmund frowned even more tightly and asked carefully in a voice as thin as a mosquito:

"Your Excellency Bonaparte, what do you mean...?"
