Chapter 7 Rasputin, who doesn't like bathing
Walking into the house, the chandeliers on the ceiling illuminated everything. Anna's three sisters stood aside and bowed their heads without saying a word. Five imperial doctors were busy stopping the bleeding for the crown prince, but the effect was obviously not good. Queen Alexandra could only sit by the bed and cry quietly, while Tsar Nichola had a blue face and muttered words, as if praying for God to bless her son.
After getting closer, Anna saw clearly: Alexei kept bleeding from nose, his face was pale, and it seemed that it would not take long.
"Report to Your Majesty!" A guard hurried in and bent down. "We found the ** Division, but he drank a lot of wine and couldn't wake up for a while."
"You! A bunch of waste, won't you feed him sobering medicine?" Nicholas cursed, "If the prince is in an accident, I will settle your head!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, I'll do it now!" The guard saluted tremblingly and trotted out of the room.
Nicholas pulled his wife's hand and comforted him, "Dear, Alexei will be fine, our friend Rasputin will cure him." "Yes, yes!" Alexandra's originally dim eyes suddenly shone brightly, and she said excitedly, "Yes, the ** teacher will definitely cure Alexei, he can do everything!"
Rasputin?!Anna remembered this famous figure - the generation of demon monk Rasputin. With the beautiful life system, Anna knew Rasputin's background very well.
Rasputin was originally named Gregory. When he was young, he was a rogue and was a horse thief. He was called "Rasputin" by his fellow villagers, meaning "debauchery", which means "debauchery", and "god man". Later, in the name of religion, he regarded himself as "elder", "prophet", and "god man". He went in and out of wealthy families, just to cheat money. He had superb hypnosis. His light blue eyes were bright and bright, and when he stared at people, he emitted blue lights. In addition, his delicate tongue, low and bright voice always made people feel scared and drowsy. His hypnosis was particularly effective for women.
He was a priest in his thirties, and he was a master of spreading prophecy and performing miraculous doctors. Because Rasputin predicted the March drought in a certain place in Russia and cured the dog of Nicholas II's uncle Nicholas.
In 1905, Rasputin came to the capital Petersburg by chance. It turned out that in this year, a revolution broke out in Russia and the Tsar was forced to decide to convene the State Duma. When the Russian people's alliance Siber went to Topolsk Province to draw votes, he discovered Rasputin. They believed that the latter was an orator and could speak well for his party, so they brought him to the capital Petersburg. Here, Rasputin used divination and spells he learned from somewhere to easily win over a group of nobles and became popular in the entire upper class. Soon, Rasputin wisely cured the dog of Grand Duke Nicholas, the uncle of Tsar Nicholas II, which made his reputation spread to the palace.
Anna, who has scientific knowledge in the 21st century, has a clear understanding of Rasputin: this demon monk is just a rogue who knows some hypnosis, medical skills and psychology, and a super liar.
Although he hated Rasputin, even Anna, a person with modern ideas, had to admire his luck: in 1907, the prince Alexei fell ill again, and the anxious queen persuaded Nicholas II to try it out and summoned Rarasputin to the palace to see if he could save his beloved son. Surprisingly, even the palace doctors had no choice but to do anything about the severely ill Crown Prince. However, after Rasputin came in, he only drank a small bag of medicine powder for the crown prince, then prayed again, and then sat beside the crown prince and told him some stories. Then, a miracle happened. After a few days of rest, the crown prince actually recovered his health!
Just as Anna was thinking quietly, an unpleasant smell made her vomit. Anna looked up and saw a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and wearing a gray robe shakingly walked in. The two guards following him carefully protected him, fearing that he would fall. Anna had already cursed in her heart: How many days has he not taken a shower?
The visitor walked to the Tsar and bowed, "Your Majesty, I am here."
Anna was sure at this time that the stench was coming from this man, and it was obvious that this person was Rasputin.
Nikola didn't mind the dirty Rasputin, and took his hand forward and begged, "Master*, Alexey is sick again, this time it's very serious. Please take a look."
"Oh? Your Highness the Crown Prince is sick again?" Hearing the Tsar's words, Rasputin seemed to have become much more awake, his eyes became sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to ensure the safety of the Crown Prince!"
Then Rasputin knelt beside the bed, muttering something in his mouth. About half an hour later, he took out a small bottle from his dirty cuffs and personally fed the crown prince a pill.
Rasputin stood up, took out an ugly cross, waved it wildly, and kept muttering unknown spells. Time was slowly passing, but everyone did not dare to slack off at all, staring at the crown prince.
About an hour later, Rasputin stopped dancing.
At this time, an imperial physician walked to the bed carefully, took a closer look, and measured the temperature of the crown prince again. "This?! God! The prince's high fever subsided and the blood stopped. His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Queen, the Prince is saved!" The imperial physician knelt down at the feet of the Tsar excitedly, and was surprised and happy: If the crown prince had an accident, his family would have to be buried with him.
The queen fainted when she heard this, and her anxiety for several hours was released. The poor mother chose to faint. The Tsar's eyes turned red, and he praised Rasputin repeatedly and announced on the spot that he would reward him with 200,000 rubles.
Rasputin stroked his long beard and then gave a grand salute, "Thank you for your gift."
After witnessing Rasputin's magical ability, Anna began to doubt her worldview, otherwise how could she explain all this?
Since the crown prince had fallen asleep, everyone retreated, leaving only a little maid to take care of him. Anna didn't know how she returned to the room, and now her mind was thinking: How to get rid of Rasputin.
Regardless of whether Rasputin is a real saint or not, Anna has made a decision: he must be eliminated as soon as possible. This man has completely controlled the Tsar and Queen. If Anna wants to gain more power, she must try her best to gain the trust of Nicholas, that is, her father, etc., etc. Trust?! Anna flashed with inspiration, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The next day, Anna left the Livagia Palace with some excuses. Fortunately, Nikola's thoughts were all on the crown prince, and he agreed to the request without any thought.
