C2695 unconscious queen (1/2)
Even the noble Queen of France found it hard to remain calm at this moment. The slogan shouted by the people outside was so terrifying that even the legs under the Queen's skirt began to tremble.
Duke of oculi bridge, Montaubon, was barely able to hold on as she shouted towards the palace attendants outside, ”What happened? Where was the guard officer on duty? ”Let him come see me …”
Prime Minister Ao Liwei's face was already pale white, seeing that there were more and more people gathering in Tuileries' garden, at the moment, it was already close to ten thousand, and the scale was still growing like a snowball.
”My God, we can't let them continue this way. Duke, I suggest that the military dispatch them immediately. The garden must be sealed up right now!”
Representative Thiers was speechless. ”Ao Liwei, what do you mean by that? From the moment the Tuileries' garden was built, the people had never been forbidden from visiting. Are you going to go against the rules set up by Napoleon? ”
The reason why Napoleon expanded his Tuileries' Palace back then instead of choosing to expand his Louvre was to make his empire different from the decayed The French Empire of the past.
He wanted to let the people know that he was different from the previous emperor and that he was a relative of the people!
Therefore, the Tuileries' garden was open to the public on a regular basis. The citizens of Paris could enjoy the beautiful scenery here and take a rest!
This was much stronger than other ancient empires' monarchs. The commoners were able to get close to the emperor, so naturally, the distance between the two sides was shortened.
However, this old rule had become a headache for the Royal Family. This was because for the past few years, the people had often come to the park to demonstrate and clamor for the Emperor to carry out reforms!
As a result, there were always officials in the imperial court who asked the Emperor to change the rules, but Napoleon III, in order to show his respect for his uncle, had always ignored them.
Today, Thiers took out the old rules and started firing at Ao Liwei. ”Ao Liwei, you are the prime minister of the people, do you really need the mouths of the people of Dusai to speak to you now?”
”You actually want the military to intervene. Do you want another bloodshed?” I want to impeach you, you are not fit to be the Empire's Prime Minister! ”
Before Ao Liwei could retort, the conference room's door was pushed open, and the guards who were on duty today ran in anxiously, holding a electric newspaper in their hands.
He said with a face full of panic and sweat, ”Empress …” His Majesty had sent an urgent message from the Mace! We... We really failed! ”
”Walter and the Spicillin's plateau have all lost! Now that the enemy has entered our northeast region, the flames of war have already reached our hometown! ”
”AHH!” The empress cried out miserably and nearly fainted. Thankfully, Montaubon's hands were quick enough to hold her!
”Queen!” Queen... Bring me the smelling salts! ”
Smelling salt was something that only a few people in the 21st century knew about. It was something that had existed since the time of the Ancient Rome, but it was the most popular thing in Victorian Europe.
Smell salts were also known as staghorn wine, a drug made of ammonium carbonate and spices, in delicate crystal bottles.
Once this powder enters the nasal cavity and comes into contact with the nasal mucosa, it will produce ammonia. People who have learned chemistry know that ammonia is very irritating and will wake up immediately after a little smelling salt
In the nineteenth century, smelling salt was the standard standard for European noblewomen, because at that time, it was widely accepted that a lady should be sensitive and timid, fainting whenever she was met with a little fear.
