In the evening, Archbishop Richelieu, under the protection of a team of guards, came to this palace located outside Paris.

As a historical celebrity, Richelieu doesn’t seem to be anything special. According to the perspective of modern people, he is just a very ordinary middle-aged uncle.

But if you relax your guard against him just because it looks ordinary, then you are really in danger.

Since he could leave a name in history, how could Richelieu be an ordinary person?

I said that if he was really that ordinary, he would not have been able to gain his current status and power.

As a cardinal in France, although Richelieu did not receive recognition from the church, he received support from the French royal family, especially from Queen Mary.

Therefore, he was confident in speaking in France and did not have to look at the church's face at all.

Even if your identity is not recognized by the church, it doesn’t matter. As long as the French royal family supports it, isn’t it?

In another time and space, there are some unofficial history that says that Louis XIII was actually Richelieu's son.

Because he had a good relationship with Queen Mary, he was often stayed by Queen Mary and refused to return.

However, this matter is not a big deal in Europe in this era.

You should know that the European ladies of this period, from the queen of the royal family to the baron's wives, would raise a few face-to-faced people outside.

This is a very popular aristocratic circle in Europe a long time ago.

Since everyone does this, why can't Queen Mary?

Of course, some rumors about Richelieu, Queen Mary, and Louis XIII were just rumors, and no one came up with relevant substantive evidence.

Besides, even what has been passed down is unofficial history and cannot be regarded as true at all.

Moreover, the people related to this unofficial history, such as Queen Mary, Richelieu and Louis XIII, were all royal families with very high status.

Who can guarantee that such unofficial history was not deliberately spread by the political enemies of Mary and Richelieu at that time?

You know. There are many dark tricks behind the power ambitions and struggles.

However, Richelieu in this time and space should not have any connection with Queen Mary as rumored in another time and space.

Because Richelieu, who arrived at the palace, did not show his impatient appearance when he wanted to see Mary, the rumored "qingen".

At the same time, Richelieu also received a report from his subordinates about the news that Louis XIII was killed by the assassin.

If it is really as rumored that Louis XIII was the child after he had accomplicated with Queen Mary, then as a father, it would be impossible to be so calm, right?

He walked off the carriage with a stern face, and Richelieu looked around the palace.

This palace of Queen Mary is located in the suburbs of the west side of Paris and is built in a dense forest of pine trees.

In this dense pine forest, you can smell the fragrance of pine trees, instead of the smell of smell in Paris.

On the branches of the pine trees, from time to time, there will be a few cute squirrels with big furry tails. These squirrels will hide in some hidden places and then secretly observe the humans below.

Their cute looks are so funny that it makes people laugh.

"Sir, the Queen has been waiting for you for a long time."

After Richelieu got out of the carriage, he had already been waiting for his business outside to manage things, so he walked over and said in a low voice to Richelieu.

"I've been waiting for a long time. I wonder what's wrong with the queen looking for me in such a hurry?"

Richelieu had actually received news about the assassination of the little Louis XIII, but at this time he still pretended to know nothing.

After all, when he reaches his position, there is nothing to hide.

Even if he knows it, he needs to pretend not to know anything at this time.

Moreover, on the way here, Richelieu had already guessed what Mary was doing to come here.

It's very simple. Little Louis XIII was assassinated. As a mother, Mary must find someone who can trust her and then start preparing for revenge.

As a mother, it is impossible for her own son to be killed without taking revenge.

Besides, Mary is a son, and the death of little Louis XIII will also affect her regent foundation.

Who knows if someone will jump out and challenge her dominance authority.

As a queen, especially a woman whose husband and son have died, and who is also a woman in a regent country, it is impossible for her to be disliked by the people she did during her reign.

Moreover, if she loses power, it is certain that waiting for her will not be a good outcome.

In order to ensure one's status and power, one must avenge his son.

Then, Queen Mary must make a series of arrangements to shock those who are already a little ready to move.

The Grand Duke of Orleans earlier had been taken away by Queen Mary.

However, the Grand Duke of Orleans still left many followers, who have not been completely cleaned up by Queen Mary.

If this problem is not the current one, then solving them is just a matter of time.

But after all, Louis XIII was assassinated, which has led to the fact that the French royal family has no foundation.

Then, in order to protect the interests of most people, the royal family has been inherited.

I think that the Orleans Grand Duke's lineage will probably rekindle again.

This is something Mary definitely doesn't want to see.

Her relationship with the Grand Duke of Orleans is the absolute mortal enemy.

And there is no possibility of reconciliation.

Mary has a deep understanding of this, and she is not stupid.

Maybe, after receiving the news that the little Louis XIII was assassinated, the remnants left by the Grand Duke of Orleans have begun to take action.

If these people are given power, then in addition to the fact that Marie will not end up well, she will even avenge her son.

Think about it, too. After all, will anyone still serve her if she loses power?

People are very realistic.

Now the people around Mary are basically serving Mary, and then they continue to gain power after Louis XIII ascends the throne.

Because of the relationship of serving Mary, after Little Louis XIII ascended the throne, I guess it would not be too bad for the elderly who have always been with them.

But now things have changed.

Little Louis XIII was dead, and the kings who had been in contact with France were gone.

In a few years, Queen Mary will definitely hand over power, after all, there is still some blood in the royal family.

At that time, where should these people go?

I think it’s only possible to change the strategy quickly and find someone to surrender.

Mary thought of this, so she suppressed the grief in her heart, forced herself to cheer up and began to plan.

The first step is to find Richelieu.

Richelieu had already put Mary's idea, basically guessing it.

As a cardinal and a senior executive of the French royal family, Richelieu is not a fool.

Moreover, Richelieu has decided that he should support Mary no matter what, so that she can fall into this storm.

As for what will happen in the future, we can only wait until the crisis has passed. We have considered it.

It is not for Richelieu to make such a decision, because he was too involved with Queen Mary of the Regent.

The reason why he has such status and power today can be said to be the result of Mary's.

If Mary hadn't always supported him, Richelieu wouldn't have been the big man he is today.

And in this process, I can't say that many people dislike him and want to get rid of him.

He has lived to this day and has encountered many assassinations against him.

So, if Mary falls and comes up with someone else, then Richelieu's fate will definitely not be much better.

With such a deep understanding, Richelieu certainly knew what he should do.

The head of the palace led the way, and Richelieu followed him and soon saw the haggard Queen Mary.

"Sir, you are finally here." After seeing Richelieu, Queen Mary stood up and walked over. "Have you heard about it?" Queen Mary signaled Richelieu and asked.

Richelieu certainly knew what Queen Mary was asking, and he nodded.

"I have received the news, so please feel sorry for the queen."

Richele was spared for a while, but he didn't know how to comfort the queen.

Fortunately, Queen Mary is not an ordinary woman, she has the temperament and tenacity that even men do not have.

After receiving Richelieu's answer, Mary led him to the sofa and did it.

"I think many people can't sit still now. Although I haven't received any news yet, I'm sure it won't take long for the remnants left by the Grand Duke of Orleans to start jumping up and down."

When talking about the remnants of the Grand Duke of Orleans, Mary's expression seemed a little cold.

It’s because the time has been too short, so I haven’t completely dealt with these people yet, otherwise I wouldn’t have been worried like this now.

When Mary had dealt with the Grand Duke of Orleans, she originally thought that she would slowly deal with these people for stability.
