Chapter 49 The study in the study

When Eugen heard this question, he suddenly became nervous. He already felt that this conversation would not be relaxed. Of course, he did not feel relaxed every time he talked to the prince.

No matter where, what dynasty, or any conversation about the emperor, you must be careful. For example, answering the truth at the moment is dangerous to offend the emperor, and answering lies seems too hypocritical.

For this reason, Eugen could only carefully say word by word: "Your Majesty, his physical condition looks a bit bad, and he should take care of his body more carefully."

When the prince saw Eugen's trembling look, he said cheerfully: "There are only you and I don't have outsiders here. Just say whatever you have. Anyway, I think that old man's health is in very poor condition, and I'm afraid he will be able to live in a few years."

The prince's words were really a bit presumptuous, but it was also possible that he had a good relationship with the emperor, so he spoke without restraint. If he could say this, Eugen dared not say this.

In order not to appear to be visible, Eugen lowered his head and said humbly: "All ordinary people will die, and they will also receive eternal life in the arms of the Lord."

The prince didn't seem to have expected Eugen to answer like this, with a look of surprise on his face, but he soon laughed and said, "Hahaha, you, you are such a slippery person. You are a smart person. There are the benefits of being smart, but there are also the benefits of being confused."

As he said that, the prince glanced at Eugen meaningfully, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, go first and enjoy the celebration dinner prepared by the royal family for you."

Eugen bowed and said goodbye, and retreated from the emperor's study.

After walking out of the study and turning two corridors, Eugen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered with lingering fear: "I'm going, it's such an old fox. When we first met, we still looked half-dead and lingered. Today, we were playing tricks with me. This place is really dangerous. I'm afraid that if you say a wrong sentence, there will be very serious consequences."

Eugen cherished his life very much. He didn't want to die like this for some inexplicable reasons. If he wanted to survive in the palace, he had to be very energetic.

Thinking of this, Eugen continued to walk out. Then a thought suddenly jumped out of Eugen's mind: "Since the prince's pathology can be pretended, why can't the emperor's pathology be pretended?"

When Eugen thought of this, he couldn't help but sweat. Sometimes, he really couldn't trust his eyes too much.

In Charles VI's study, the prince sat on a chair behind the desk, with a contemplative expression on his face leaning against the back of the chair.

After thinking for a while, the prince slowly stood up and turned to look at the bookshelf behind him, as if he was looking for the books on the bookshelf.

However, after walking to the bookshelf, the prince reached out and pinched a hawk-head relief for decoration at the edge of the bookshelf, and then turned it gently, and the relief turned.

After a slight click, the entire bookshelf suddenly slashed to the left, and a hole two meters high and half a meter wide behind the bookshelf on the right slowly emerged.

There is actually a secret door in the emperor's study!

The prince quickly walked into the secret door, pressed the mechanism inside, and the bookshelf quickly returned to its original position, looking like it had never moved.

The secret passage is only a few steps long. When you pass through the secret passage, the space suddenly becomes wide. This is a secret room with candles lit around the secret room, and there is plenty of light. The ground is covered with marble floors and white wallpapers are pasted on the walls. There is a table and two chairs in the secret room. There are also paper money and other things on the table, making it look like a study room.

The secret room of the study room hidden in the study room feels very strange no matter how you think about it.

In addition to the secret passage where the prince came in, there was another secret passage in the secret room. After the prince came in, he sat down on a chair beside him, picked up a document that was spread flat on the table and checked it.

This is a state edict that determines the major affairs of the Holy Roman Empire. The signature of the edict shows that the time of the edict was written was 1713, which is nearly twenty years since now.

After a moment, footsteps sounded from another secret passage, and the prince put down the edict and stood up from the chair, posing in a greeting position.

In the entire empire, there was only one person who knew this secret passage and could make the prince stand up to greet him--the emperor of the empire, His Highness Charles VI.

Sure enough, Charles VI quickly walked out of another secret passage, and looked at his agile steps, which was completely different from what he saw in the palace hall before.

"Hello, your respected majesty." The prince bent down and saluted. Charles VI waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, Prince Eugen, you and me don't have to care about these false gifts."

Then Charles VI sat on another chair and said angrily: "No one of those old foxes came, but they sent some ministers who had no say."

While complaining, Charles VI also pointed to another chair and asked the prince to sit down.

The prince sat down on the chair and said in a calm tone: "Didn't the Grand Duke of Lorraine come? You can't say that none of them came."

Charles VI glanced at the prince and said angrily: "That old guy Lorraine, don't think I don't know what he is thinking. Isn't it just to use my precious daughter to control the entire empire? Humph, it's really a whimsical."

As he said that, he turned his attention to the state edict on the table. This was an edict on the heir to the throne. This edict should have the signatures of all the principalities of the Holy Roman Empire. However, now there are only a few signatures on the edict.

As he looked, Charles VI slapped the table and said viciously: "One day, I will let all those old guys sign this edict, and no one can be pulled down for me!"

Seeing Charles VI's expression excited, the prince hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, don't be too anxious. This plan could have been foolproof, but unfortunately some accidents occurred on the way. However, although it was a failure, it was not completely beneficial."

After hearing the prince’s plan, Charles VI couldn’t help but say angrily and amusedly: “I deliberately pretended to be sick for so long, just to make the old people think that my power was weakened and then find their handle. This time, the French army suddenly came, which was an excellent opportunity, but unexpectedly, the plan was disrupted by a young man.”

"Hey, Prince Eugen, aren't you going to examine that little guy? What's the result of the investigation?" Charles VI suddenly changed the subject.
