Prince Kong Dai's hands were very rough. Of course, a warrior's hands would never be delicate and soft. The palms were very hot, and he could almost feel the blood vessels beating. He was still gasping violently, so he couldn't speak for a while. However, Louis still saw suspicion passing through his eyes. This was normal. After all, he had just mocked the Queen Mother Anne and the entire royal family in the Red Children's Fair, which was only a few hundred feet away from here.

"Get up, my cousin," said Louis gently, "I feel so relieved to see you are safe."

Prince Conde hesitated for a moment and stood up. The strange color slowly disappeared from his eyes. It was not that he believed that Louis was not malicious to him, but that he also thought that the king did not have to do anything more. Moreover, with the king's noble status, even if he did not appear here, he must be grateful for the king's kindness. He even had a little bit of gratitude. It was enough to bend his knees to Louis to make him unhappy. If the person who came was the man of Cardinal Mazaran, wouldn't it be even more disgusting?

At this time, the assassins were either killed or caught. Two people who had fought side by side with Prince Conde also came over and saluted the king. A king knew him, Prince Conde, the brother-in-law, Duke Longeville, and he was injured many times, but not very serious. It was not easy for an old man who was nearly sixty years old. However, it can be seen from here how brave he was. He was not a useless person in politics. The Treaty of Westphalia was signed by him not long ago. This treaty ended the long thirty years of war. Although Richelieu, Louis XIII, Mazaran and others also had the efforts of France, but it was nothing to do with him. It was pure nonsense.

But for a young and beautiful and charming young woman, being forced to marry such a gray-haired and wrinkled widower in the year of the flower letter was simply torment. So even Mrs. Longeville's affair even came from Münster (Münster is a city in the northern part of the state of North Rhine-West, Germany, and the signing of the Treaty of Westphalia. At that time, Duke Longeville was appointed as chief envoy by Mazaran) to Paris and Saint-Germain Aunlei. The Duke Longeville forgave her tolerantly and did not be angry at her infidelity.

Here we will mention another person, François de La Rochefoco, who is only thirty-nine years old this year, elegant and gentle, and is a descendant of one of the oldest families in France. His father was highly valued by the Bishop of Richelieu. Therefore, in 1622, the territory of Count La Rochefoco was promoted to the territory of the Duke, and François became the heir of the Duke. Six years later, he came to Paris and became the lover of the Duchess of Chefs, and even participated in anti-Richelieu conspiracy, for which he was once put into prison and exile.

Now he came to Prince Condai's sister Duke Longeville, claiming that he fell in love with this lady. In order to win her heart and to make her happy, he immediately stood on Prince Condai's side and served the prince as a senior official (inherited from his father).

People in the palace generally have two views on him now. One is mostly from women. They think that the Duke is really passionate. But compared to his love, his lovers obviously value power and status more. They do not love him, but just use him. This statement makes the Duke more pitiful and cute; but the other is the view of men (the women's thoughts make them sneer). They think that the Duke La Rochefuko is actually an ambitious villain. He can be said to be a model of using women and priests to climb to a high position. Just look at the Duchess of Shefoss specifically. La Rochefuko was originally a model of using women and priests to climb to a high position.

As the upstart in the palace, Duke Ko did not have much access to the powerful. In contrast, Duchess of Serforth first married Luyna, the chief minister of Louis XIII, and then became the court chief of Anne, Queen Louis XIII. After Luyna died, he married Claude, the powerful Duke of Serforth. It can be said that in those years, this lady was very popular, and she was more than teenage than Duke La Rochefoco. No one would believe that they had any sincere love, but it was this lady who brought Duke La Rochefoco to the eyes of the king and the prince, allowing him to occupy a very good position in the palace.

If it weren't for the conflict between Duchess of Sheffers and Bishop Richelieu, the gentleman would have probably continued to make a fortune. After that, he was imprisoned and exiled, people thought he was finished. Who knew that he had become the lover of Mrs. Longeville and returned to Paris in a noble way.

There is indeed a reason why this Duke can confuse two powerful ladies one after another without being retaliated by a jealous husband or a rival in love. This gentleman is probably the most beautiful man he has ever seen, even no one. He has fluffy golden brown curly hair, separated to both sides, and a delicate tip in the center of his forehead that countless women long for, and his eyes are extremely deep dark blue, like the autumn lake, with thick lips, and a light rose-colored color that makes people want to kiss him when they see it.

Besides his impeccable skin, his calm temperament has become a feature that cannot be ignored. Moreover, as the king just saw, he seized the lives of two assassins in a row and captured one, which was an amazing achievement, so he had nothing to blame for his bravery.

What surprised the king was that the Duke of Larochefoo should be thirty-eight years old, but it seemed that he was younger than Prince Conde. It was not right to say that Prince Conde was treated more severely than him, because he served in the army at the age of sixteen, and Prince Conde became an officer at the age of eighteen.

The Duke of La Rochefoo was one of the people who accompanied Prince Conde during the assassination. He just didn't know whether he and Prince Longeville were summoned together or met occasionally. If it were the former, Louis would really praise Prince Conde for being very proud, but he soon stopped engaging in this, because Madame Longeville was here.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the lady jumped down without any manners, and saluted the king (very perfunctorily), first she hugged her younger brother in tears, and then glanced at Duke Larochefuko with tenderness, before going to check Duke Longeville's injuries - they were temporarily repaired in the tavern next to the antique shop, Duke Longeville was placed on two chairs put together. To relieve the pain, he drank a lot of spirits. The Duchess placed his head on his knees, but her eyes could hardly leave Duke Larochefuko, although her hands were tightly held by her husband.

Louis heard a ridiculous rumor that the eldest son of Duke Longeville and his stepwife may be the Duke of La Rochefoo and this lady... To be honest, he did not believe it. It is not that there has been such a scandal, but generally speaking, the husband will not admit it. The most common child may be a monk or a squire, but under such obvious formulas of Duke Longeville → La Rochefooo and the Duke of La Rochefoo, he was almost convinced.

I heard that the child is five years old.

About a quarter of an hour later, Cardinal Mazaran led the soldiers to welcome the king. At this time, the light had become very dark. The king saw the disapproval expression on the bishop's face, but he pretended not to see it.

A brief look.

As soon as Louis returned to Richelieu's house, he heard that the Duke of Monponcier was locked up. He was not surprised or sympathetic at all. Since the Duke of Monponcier came to Paris, he has been constantly consuming the patience of the Queen Mother. Originally, the Queen Mother did have a pity for her, and perhaps a little family affection. After all, after the Duke of Monponcier was born, she was almost raised by her. At that time, Anne, who was still the queen, did not have Louis and Philip, and she poured almost all her maternal love on the Grand Princess (the title of Duke).
