I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 216 Philip VI’s conspiracy

As the saying goes.

The uphill road is difficult to walk, but if you try hard, you will get there.

It is difficult to sail a boat against the wind, but it will surely reach it if you are determined.

Xu Siling knew very well that the establishment and development of the Executioner family's army could never be achieved in calm conditions.

It is achieved by relying on the courage to move forward the more difficult and dangerous the situation is, relying on the energy to open roads over mountains and build bridges when encountering water, and to overcome difficulties and overcome obstacles.

Xu Siling believed in himself, he just needed some time.

And his executioner soldiers also need some time.

Feier and Xu Siling looked at the bonfire in the darkness.

The blazing flame outlines their bright future.

The power he and Fei'er currently possess is enough to scare the people around them.

The only thing lacking now is sufficient troop strength.

Mayfair has been working hard for this, and she has a lot of followers under her name, all of whom are veterans on the battlefield, not to mention a lot of religious soldiers who believe in her.

As long as Faile is willing, her soldiers are willing to die for her.

This is the most intuitive manifestation of her strength after possessing the status of a saint.

And Xu Siling, needless to say.

But now he and Mayfair also need time.

Time will push everything forward and digest the newly acquired power.

Unfortunately, time is never given to everyone in full, and opportunities and crises will always collide with you around the next corner, catching you off guard.

The servants of the inner fort in Raya Town were anxious to find the tent.

After she saw Mayfair, she quickly handed over a letter.

"Ms. Raya, urgent letter from Avignon in the South!"

Fei'er felt a little strange, took it and opened it.

When she saw the content clearly, she looked stunned.

Southern part of the Kingdom of France.

Avignon.

night.

Pierre Roger, who was drunk, threw away the kindly supporting hands of others, lay alone on the bed, and waved his hand.

"My good servant, call Nellie and tell her that I miss her."

"Yes."

If Xu Siling were here and someone pointed at this drunken old man and said that he was Clement VI, it would be difficult for Xu Siling to believe it.

In fact, Clement VI was a spiritualist who opposed the asceticism of the Franciscans.

He overhauled the papal palace and rewarded learning and art.

As long as there is some good development in academics under the control of the holy religion, as well as in art, he will greatly reward and encourage them.

Indirectly, many academics always stay in discussion rather than practice.

But this also reflects that Clement VI is a scumbag who pursues romance.

Clement VI lived a dissolute and greedy life. After buying Avignon, this land became his.

He can do whatever he wants here.

There were seven publicly recognized illegitimate children by Clement VI alone, and they all held important positions in the Holy Church.

There are even more illegitimate children that are not publicly acknowledged.

Walking on the streets of Avignon, if you bump into someone at random, you don't know whether he is a son of a good family or the illegitimate son of Clement VI.

So as a noble and a saint, Feier didn't care how many lovers Xu Siling had.

For example, Clement VI publicly had more illegitimate children than Xu Siling had lovers, so what can be compared.

Compared with most of the kingdom, Xu Siling is kind and conservative.

When some nobles passed through rural towns, they would walk around among the flowers and plant some if they suited them.

Nothing is more sacred and absurd than a medieval wedding.

The Black Death was epidemic.

From south to north.

The first to be affected was Avignon in southern France.

A quarter of Clement VI's men were killed, and many cardinals and believers in Avignon generally believed that the disaster was caused by the Jews, and strong anti-Semitic sentiments were brewing.

But Clement VI didn't think so and still welcomed Jews to take refuge in Avignon.

Philip VI drove the Jews out of the kingdom, which directly caused the Jews to be unwelcome in northern France.

The Jews in France had no choice but to escape southward, to the central or southern part of the kingdom.

For example, Khamis of Tamburg has a good impression of the Jews. At least the Jews know how to help him squeeze every last dollar out of the people.

Therefore, it is difficult to find Jews in northern France.

In central France, some scattered Jewish communities can be seen living there.

Most of France's Jews are living in southern France.

The Nellie in Clement VI's mouth was also a Jewish woman.

Most Jews have black hair and slightly higher noses, and the same goes for Nellie.

After she entered the room, she took off all her clothes, posed with her naked body, and walked towards Clement VI on the bed.

Clement VI was drunk and looked at Nellie with squinted eyes. His body couldn't help feeling, but the alcohol made him feel powerless as he got older.

He is getting older and his body functions are getting weaker and weaker. Uncle Chen doesn't even come to say hello in the morning.

After drinking, even if you want to come again, you have to see if you can do it.

"Oh, my beautiful Nellie, come to me."

Nellie twisted her body and gradually moved into the arms of Clement VI.

"Lord Roger, you are finally willing to think of me."

"You have to understand that I have too many things to do. If I have time, I really want to torture you."

"Then" Nellie laughed playfully, "are we now going to finish what we didn't finish last time?"

"Of course, but you have to wait for me to calm down."

Clement VI liked Nellie's tact.

The Jewish family and the executioner family have two characteristics in common.

That is, when everyone has money and a good family background, the children are very educated.

Clement VI's status as pope made it difficult for him to have deep relationships with noble women, so he liked to play with these women who had no status.

Among his many women, only Nellie is Jewish. She speaks tactfully, is highly educated, can talk about many topics, and always thinks of him, winning his heart.

Nellie massaged Clement VI intimately and asked with a smile.

"I heard that you have finally decided to hold another Holy Year's Jubilee?"

"Yes, I have signed and asked people to release the notice. I believe that the entire world will receive this news in a few days."

Neli's eyes lit up: "Does that mean my brothers can also come out of prison?"

"Of course, but it's all temporary. They have to pay some action and money, but it's all for you, my Nellie."

Nellie looked moved, and the massage became more vigorous, causing Clement VI to raise his head and let out a sigh of relief.

Of course Clement VI is not for Nellie, but this does not prevent him from saying these romantic love words.

The Holy Year Indulgence was originally stipulated to be once every hundred years.

But in 1300 Boniface VIII received a papal pardon, which resulted in unexpected money.

Historically, Clement VI held it once in 1350, but it was later shortened to once every 33 years. Sixtus IV changed it to once every 1475 years in 25.

The Holy Year of Buddhism has become a new trick for the Holy See to make money.

Xu Siling would definitely be curious if she knew about this.

Now that 1347 has not ended yet, why did Clement VI start the Holy Year's amnesty in advance and act contrary to common sense?

But Xu Siling didn't know that the reason why the Holy Year's amnesty was brought forward was because of his and Fei'er's appearance.

In the name of the Lord, Mayfair and Xu Siling supported the French royal family in regaining their lost territory, which indirectly caused the Holy See to recognize Mayfair's identity and had to choose to support France in the Anglo-French war.

Because of the Avignon Incident, the Holy See was essentially a puppet of the French royal family.

But France still managed to save some face for the Holy See and did not completely treat the Pope like a dog.

During the Anglo-French war, Philip VI only asked the Holy See to spend money for support, and did not ask the Pope to write a letter to condemn the British. This allowed the Holy See to remain neutral in the Anglo-French war.

But Feier's appearance made the Holy See no longer neutral.

If there is still a war, the most important issue to consider is money.

No one would object to having a lot of money, let alone the spiritualist Clement VI. He was greedy and 'romantic', liked art and academics, liked to spend a lot of money, and liked the luxury goods of Bulingbuling.

The Holy Year amnesty can help him make money in a short period of time, and part of the money he gets can be used to support the French royal family in fighting the war. Why not?
Clement VI had wanted to do this for a long time. Originally, he wanted to wait until 1350 to do it, and change it from once every years to once every years.

But the appearance of Mayfair changed his plan, and he had to hold an amnesty in advance for the Holy Year.

Nellie's eyes were blurry and she said softly: "Sir Roger, I also want a child."

"Oou, please be gentle, Nellie, you have to wait for me to slow down."

"Lord Roger, I have a little gadget here, do you want to try it?"

Clement VI narrowed his eyes: "What's this fun?"

"Help us finish what we didn't finish last time. This thing is very powerful." Nellie said with a smile, "Do you want to try it? I heard you calling me over, so I brought it here specially."

Clement VI became interested, thought about it for a while, nodded, and asked Nellie to take it.

Nellie happily searched for the medicine on her clothes and handed it to Clement VI.

After hesitating for a while, in order to regain his glory tonight, Clement VI swallowed it directly.

He expected to feel the firmness in his lower body, but Clement VI discovered that something was wrong.

His eyes gradually blurred, and he looked at the naked Nellie in front of him, with a strange smile on his face.

"What's wrong with me? Nellie, bring me some water."

"No, Lord Roger, this is normal. Take a deep breath. Come on, let's take a deep breath. We'll be fine soon."

"No no! Bring me some water!"

The old face of Clement VI suddenly became ferocious. He couldn't feel his breath and was gasping for air!
He tried to grab around, trying to get the golden cup on the table.

But Nellie stopped him with one hand and pushed him down on the bed.

"Ugh! You!"

"Sir Roger, as you said, we have to finish what we didn't finish last time."

Clement VI finally saw the smile on Nellie's lips.

She wants to kill herself!
His expression became more ferocious, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth couldn't help but flow.

Nellie slowly lowered her head and placed it next to Clement VI's ear with a playful smile.

"Sir Roger, the supreme king of France, Philip VI, has asked me to say hello to you."

The death of Clement VI and the great release in the Holy Year caught Faile a little unprepared.

Including Xu Siling knew these things and had sensed something fishy.

Of course Clement VI would die, but not so quickly, and the cause of his death in history was the Black Death.

Xu Siling had to admit that during the Black Death period, the Black Death was a perfect excuse for anyone to die.

For example, King Jeanne of France and John's wife Bonnet both died of the Black Death.

Jeanne's death in history is indeed related to the Black Death.

But Bonnet may not.

Xu Siling, who already knew everything, knew that Bonnet's death was at the hands of Philip VI.

The question then arises, does the death of Clement VI have anything to do with Philip VI?

Hard to tell.

Even if Philip VI is waiting for death, he will give his last effort to the royal family. He will not wait.

Even if he sat on the throne and suffered from the cold eyes of his son John, Philip VI would not blame his son.

No one knows their children better than parents.

Philip VI believed in no one, but he believed in John.

Not only because John is his son, but also because John is a good man who believes in chivalry.

As a king and the leader of the royal family, he believed that he had done nothing wrong.

But as a father and a husband, he owed John.

John loved him.

Otherwise, John would completely fall out with Philip VI when he learned of Philip VI's plan to have Bonet die.

In fact, John did fall out with Philip VI, but not completely.

John is a man who loves his family. He naturally loves his father and his mother even more.

His mother, Jeanne, contracted the Black Death and was cured because of Mayfair. John had an innate affection for Mayfair.

Not to mention that he likes Xu Siling. Even when something goes wrong, he always thinks of letting Xu Siling protect Jeanne.

But this still can't stop things from happening.

After Philip VI killed his wife Jeanne, John fell into isolation. After being released by Xu Siling and his wife Jeanne, he came out completely.

John knew very well that his good father would not live long.

Inside the tent of the soldiers' camp in Raya Town.

Fei'er took the letter to Xu Siling, and Xu Siling burned it immediately after reading it.

"The Holy Year's release has nothing to do with me. I have the final say on my territory. But the pope's sudden death is very strange."

Xu Siling quickly got the answer.

He looked at Mayfair seriously and felt that there was not enough time.

Both he and Mayfair lack time, but the problem is that the world will not give them time.

The appearance of Xu Siling and Fei'er promoted everything and accelerated the development of many things. Indirectly, the world would not leave more time for them.

"The Great Release in the Holy Year will not affect us, it will only cause suffering to the people of the kingdom."

In the Middle Ages, this method of remission of temporary punishment gradually evolved into the method of selling indulgences.

But the main service targets are still nobles and wealthy people.

But in the Holy Year, Da Shi faces everyone, including those who are being punished.

This situation indirectly affects the reduction of people's safety and quality of life.

"Then Xu, will the Pope's death affect us?"

Xu Siling just shook his head: "It's not clear yet, but it may be affected."

"How will it affect me? Could it be that the newly appointed Pope will target me?" Mayfair showed disbelief, "I can't just assume the identity of a saint and be questioned soon."

Xu Siling was silent: "It depends on whether the death of Clement VI was an accident. If it was an accident, then everything is easy to say."

Fei'er's blue eyes looked up and down at Xu Siling's expression.

"Xu, from the way you look, it seems that you are not inclined to this answer."

"Yes, I think the death of Clement VI was not an accident. Don't read the letter. It says he died of a sudden illness. I got a doctor's certificate, but I don't believe it at all."

"Then if someone else designed him to die, would the designer's target be us?"

Xu Siling looked at the gap in the tent and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It depends on your understanding, Faile. Do you think Philip VI will just wait for death?"

Fei'er was suddenly shocked, and then she looked astonished.

She was not stupid to begin with, and it was immediately clear when Xu Siling made this point.

Will Philip VI, who eliminated all troubles in order to marry Blanche, leave Clement VI behind?

Especially after Mayfair appeared, Philip VI had more reasons to kill Clement VI.

Clement VI has given Faile too much help, even though the two have never met before.

However, they exchanged a lot of private letters, which aggravated their relationship.

The recognition of the Saint Maiden's identity was at least half of Clement VI's credit. Although he had no choice, the fact that he made the decision so easily could be regarded as a boost to Faile.

It was impossible for Mayfair to turn against the Pope who helped her so much.

Philip VI also had to worry about whether Clement VI and Mayfair might secretly have any bad ideas or plans.

Clement VI was personally promoted by Philip VI. Philip VI knew very well what kind of person the pope was and how bad his character was.

Philip VI could not guarantee whether a greedy person would covet others after his death.

The best way to deal with Clement VI is to drag him to hell with him.

In fact, Philip VI did the same thing.

"Fei'er, be prepared. I feel like something is going to happen."

Mayfair pondered: "I'm thinking about what kind of preparations I should make."

"Of course it was Philip VI's preparation for his death."

Feier had no choice but to look at Xu Siling seriously: "Xu, why are you so sure that the king is going to die?"

"You don't know how angry he was with me at the wedding hall in the palace. Coupled with John's hostility towards him and Blanche's rebellion, his heart is already dead."

Xu Siling explained one by one: "There is no greater grief than death. I believe his mind will become dull and insensitive, and he will gradually become indifferent to the things around him."

Mayfair couldn't help but smile: "Your understanding of the king is really deep. If I hadn't known that you had only met him once."

"One meeting is enough, and I don't plan to see him a second time." Xu Siling rubbed his chin, "Since he is so anxious to let Clement VI die, it indirectly means that Philip VI doesn't have a few days to live."

"It's just your guess. I know that the king will not live long. This is our consensus. But, you told me that we have just left Paris for more than a month, and the king will not be able to hold on. He is going to die. It is difficult for me. Accept. Now that the king is really going to die, we are in big trouble."

"No, John will definitely take care of us, but once Philip VI dies, the first issue he has to deal with is to inherit the throne and secure his position. Before he has time to take care of us, the death of Philip VI, It’s enough to give us a headache.”

"That's why I have a hard time accepting your statement that Philip VI is going to die."

Xu Siling smiled: "If you say it's hard to accept, doesn't that mean you've already accepted it?"

Feier sighed helplessly and rolled her eyes: "If you criticize me at this time, if he really dies at this juncture, Xu, you have to understand, how many nobles will we have to accept?"

"Believe me, there will be many nobles who attack us, but not too many." Xu Siling spread his hands, "This is a bit unpleasant to say, Fei'er. Thanks to the failure of the Battle of Crecy, many nobles have become estranged from the royal family. Otherwise, if he dies at this time, we really won’t be able to withstand the attack by the nobles of the entire kingdom. Even if John helps us, it will be difficult to survive. "

This is indeed an unpleasant thing to say.

After all, Mayfair's family elders and fathers had all died in the Battle of Crecy.

But she was totally fine with it.

"If Philip VI doesn't prepare other backup plans to deal with us after his death, then it's okay to say that at most the earldom will be more difficult to manage and will not be welcomed by the nobles. I can accept this. I'm afraid that after Philip VI's death What hidden tricks are they hiding?"

Xu Siling nodded in affirmation: "That's right, Fei'er, the nobles will naturally blame me for the death of Philip VI."

"Wrong, it's our head, not yours alone."

Xu Siling said it didn't matter. Fei'er said earlier that he had to use the words, but Fei'er did it herself. "Okay, okay, on our heads. Mayfair, you also know that these nobles cannot change the world. Most of the nobles are eager to lick John's shoes. Now that the royal family has our help and the support of the Holy See, John The superior power is very strong, and some nobles may cause us some trouble at most, but that’s nothing.”

"Be afraid." Mayfair's eyes narrowed slightly, "The king's hidden tricks after his death. You and I both know that even if the king's heart is dead, he is not a person who just waits for death. He is afraid of Blanche, so he wants to Marry her; fear the pope, so the pope dies; fear us, and we won’t be too happy.”

"Hey, my baby, don't worry so much."

Xu Siling rarely called Fei'er this way, which made Fei'er feel uncomfortable.

"No matter what Philip VI says, he is still a human being. Since he is a human being, everything he does will be within our cognitive scope. Even if it is a troublesome problem, it should be within our scope of handling. Don't be afraid. I am here."

Seeing Xu Siling's confident expression, Fei'er suddenly felt less stressed. She smiled gently and nodded.

"Indeed, with you here, I shouldn't be so anxious."

Feier stood up, came to Xu Siling, kissed him on the cheek, and then prepared to leave.

"By the way, the Thom you introduced is very useful. I have arranged for him to go to Tamubao to handle things, but I will stay with his family in Raya Town to give him peace of mind."

Xu Siling smiled and said, "I understand."

"I have to go back and have a good rest. I'm exhausted today, but I hope your executioner soldiers can surprise me."

After finishing speaking, Mayfair left the tent.

Xu Siling was left alone, and the confident smile on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by helplessness.

He did not care about Philip VI's death.

In other words, Philip VI deserved to die.

Not only did he think so, but so did John.

Now John, Mayfair, and Xu Siling have developed a very close relationship. As long as John comes to power, he and John will help each other and will not worry about France not being able to recover its lost territory and fulfill the dreams of successive French kings.

It was okay for Philip VI to die, but if he chose this time to die, it would be too troublesome for Xu Siren.

Of course he couldn't show pain in front of Fei'er.

He is Mayfair's source of courage and confidence.

If he shows his timidity, why should Fei'er be afraid?
Of course Philip VI deserves to die, but there is a big difference between his death in six months, his death in a year, and his death in two years, and his death now.

Now that Philip VI is dead, the nobles of the entire kingdom will point their fingers at Xu Siling, and blame Mayfair, thinking that it was Xu Siling who forced the king to die.

Even if John wanted to protect Xu Siling, it would be difficult to do so, at least on the surface, he would not be allowed to do so.

If Philip VI had died half a year later, the voices blaming Xu Siling would have been much weaker.

The longer it takes, the better. The longer it goes, the fewer people will blame Xu Siling.

Indirectly, it also reduces the public opinion on Mayfair.

Xu Siling could not believe how the nobles of the earldom would treat Feier and him if Philip VI really died during this period.

There will definitely be a deadlock on tax collection.

To be honest, Xu Siling didn't want to believe that Philip VI would die during this period.

Because Philip VI in history only had a few years to live. Even if he was angry and lost most of his life, he could still live for a long time.

Why die so early?

It's not like this if you are heartbroken.

Xu Siling suddenly had a terrible idea in his mind.

Perhaps Philip VI had no hidden tricks at all.

His death is his biggest move.

Therefore, Clement VI could be forced to die of illness.

Would Philip VI, who was already desperate and had made all plans to eliminate hidden dangers, choose to die of illness?
Conspiracy is always stronger than conspiracy.

Because conspiracy can be predicted and avoided, but conspiracy is different.

Conspiracies can be predicted, but they cannot be avoided.

His own death was the conspiracy of Philip VI.

Five days later.

in the afternoon.

Paris, palace bedroom.

The bedroom is filled with rich aroma and shrouded in golden light, as if falling into a dream.

The bed standing in the center of the room is wrapped in tulle, making it even more noble and elegant.

The purple bed curtain hangs directly after falling to the floor, and the golden edge is as delicate as silk. The gorgeous bed covering does not look ostentatious.

The bed is surrounded by luxurious gold felt, which makes it look noble.

Philip VI was lying on the bed, with a kind face on his face and his dark green eyes looking out the window.

From the window, you can have a panoramic view of the palace.

Philip VI suddenly became obsessed at this time.

I am obsessed with the elegance of this bedroom and the sense of presence I left behind.

There is even a vague feeling of fear in my heart?
"Haven't you lived enough?"

Philip VI said, minding his own business.

There is nothing to fear but death.

No one answered him in the bedroom, but Philip VI was waiting.

It was not until a long time later that while Philip VI kept coughing and waiting, footsteps finally sounded from the bedroom door.

This footsteps were extremely familiar to Philip VI.

The words came out before anyone even entered the bedroom.

"You'd better ask me if you have anything to do with me."

John showed up with an impatient look on his face. He was gorgeously dressed and had recently been busy negotiating with aristocrats in Paris.

In order to ascend to the throne smoothly, he had to get in touch with palace affairs in advance.

During this time, he participated in court meetings, which resulted in him having to see Philip VI every day.

John told his wife that he did not want to see Philip VI twice in one day.

Philip VI was not angry. He lay on the bed with no intention of getting up. He motioned to John to close the door and let him come closer to talk.

He had a kind and kind smile on his face and asked for help.

"I've been busy meeting and chatting with them during these hours, so there won't be any problems."

"none of your business!"

John looked disgusted.

"Why don't you have anything to do with me? They are still my nobles now. Without my permission, do you think they would all take the initiative to kiss your ass that doesn't warm up and listen to your ridiculous knight stories?"

"Hey, why are you calling me here? If you are just preaching, I don't think it is necessary! I don't want to listen to your preaching."

Normally, the father and son of the Valois family would have started to quarrel and throw things.

But Philip VI rarely got angry, and still showed a kind smile, like a kind elder, with a caring tone.

However, when John saw his expression, he seemed even more resistant and angry.

he swore angrily.

"Don't show that expression! Who do you want to show off to? Are you showing off to me?"

John pointed at his face angrily: "Don't pretend to be such a kind father! I have grown up and am not your dog! I don't want to cooperate with your acting!"

"You don't know how to act until your brain is wet, do you?"

"Don't look at me with this expression! You are not a qualified father, nor a qualified king, nor a qualified husband! Don't put on the best face in the world, are you kidding me!"

Philip VI remained unfazed, still wearing the face that made John angry.

He looked at John's anger like a child throwing a tantrum over a missing toy.

"I'm sorry, kid. What do you think I should look like?"

John was speechless. He had never thought about this.

"I don't want to waste words with you, tell me quickly what you asked me to do! I don't want to listen to your preaching."

Philip VI coughed heavily, looked deeply at his impatient son John, and spoke slowly.

"Etienne Aubert."

John frowned: "Who?"

"Etienne, the new Pope."

John was stunned: "Clement VI has just died, and the selection of the pope's name has not yet begun. How did you know it would be him?"

"What is not allowed, child." Philip IV explained, "If I have time, I would like to slowly teach you that those people in the Holy Church are all a group of pigs who never know how to be greedy. We and them We are never alone, the Valois family only wants to take back the territory that belongs to our ancestors. But these pigs who never know greed want to covet the waistband of the whole world.”

John's mind is not that flexible. If Bonnet was there, he could help explain.

John alone could not figure out what Philip VI meant by these words.

"What do you want to say, that Etienne, what does it have to do with me."

"He is the new pope, and of course he has something to do with you."

"Huh?" John was still puzzled. It wasn't until he looked at Philip VI's vague smile that he finally understood: "You mean Pope Clement VI, his death was because of you?! "

"Otherwise, my silly boy."

Philip VI liked John's surprise very much. He was different from before. He hated John's surprise. He felt that he was too stupid. People who are too stupid cannot stand on the stage, especially the future king.

But now Philip VI likes his children very much.

When he smiled, he couldn't help but cough heavily.

"how could you do this!"

"Don't forget that the Pope who died at the hands of our King of France was no less than Clement VI."

"I haven't forgotten! But"

"Child, please listen to me carefully. Etienne is an obedient person, but he is also a very ambitious person. My messenger found out that he has always wanted to move the Holy See back to Rome, and even has this plan."

It was difficult for John to understand: "Then you support him to become the new pope!"

"People with ambitions are not scary, because people with ambitions are also very capable, and you can know in advance what they want to do, and you can easily control such people. Even if they want to resist you, they can't do anything. But kid, you You must be wary of those who are extremely capable, but have no ambitions and can’t figure out their ideas.”

John was silent. He felt from Philip VI's mouth who Philip VI wanted to say.

"You mean Xu? And Miss Raya?"

"Yes, it's them!" Philip VI said about Xu Siling and Feier, his eyes widened immediately: "You must not let down your guard against them, they are scary...! If you don't seriously watch out for them, you will have nothing to lose." Be on guard, they will eat you until you have no bones left, and you won’t react until they are sucking your marrow!”

Why are the nobles afraid of Xu Siling and Fei'er?
The reason is that Xu Siling and Fei'er never act according to common sense.

No one knows what they want.

Not for money but fame? And then start the battle of Tamubao?

If you have little ability, this behavior can be ignored.

But if you have extremely strong abilities, you have to underestimate them.

What you can see is never worth fearing.

The things that scare people are always those that you can’t see clearly but can clearly feel the pressure on.

For example, Feier and Xu Siling are like this.

It seems to belong to the royal family, the nobility, and even the Holy See.

But again, they don't belong to either party.

No one knows what they want.

But Philip VI must admit that the current France and the current royal family need Mayfair and Xu Siling to exist.

Only their existence can better promote the development of France.

"No, don't bother me. Xu is not as bad as you think, and Miss Raya will not frame me!"

Philip VI suddenly smiled: "My child, tell me, Xu is so powerful, what is he trying to do? Mayfair is already a saint, what is she trying to do?"

John was suddenly silent, not knowing how to answer.

"It's okay not to know. It's not shameful to not know, because I don't know either. But just because you don't know, that's what deserves your attention and should be vigilant."

"Etienne, you should write more letters to him. He is the person I left for you. You can use him well, but I don't know how long you can control him after I die. If he loses control, there is no need for him to stay. ”

John stared: "You are still fine, but you are not going to die so soon. What do you mean?"

"That's almost it."

Philip VI showed a relieved smile and motioned to John to bring him the water glass on the bedside. He was thirsty.

Although John was not happy, he still picked up the cup and handed it to Philip VI.

He just stood up and wanted to leave the bed, but Philip VI firmly grabbed John's arm and refused to let him leave.

"Sit down and let us, father and son, have a good chat."

"Okay, okay! Don't push me, I'll sit down!"

John always felt that something was wrong with his father, but he couldn't explain it.

When Philip VI saw that John was obedient, he couldn't help but smile. He looked at the glass of water in his hand in silence for a moment, and finally drank it without hesitation.

It wasn't until he finished drinking that he sighed comfortably.

"Kid, I know you hate me, but you should understand me."

"I can't understand it. No matter how troublesome Blanche is, there is always a way to deal with her!"

"Your solution is to give Blanche to Xu?"

"He promised me that he would take good care of Blanche! Not to mention, you can't blame Xu for Blanche's incident! It was you, if not you, who would have harmed her."

John stopped talking and tightened his lips with a painful expression.

Philip VI smiled and said nothing, with a look of regret on his face.

"My child, I regret it all the time. I think of her every night, but if I go back to my previous choice, I will still choose to do it. After she knows it, she will understand me. She will understand me forever."

"Don't say such nonsense, mother is stupid enough to believe it, but I don't believe it!"

Philip VI smiled bitterly: "You should be more like me, not more like her."

"The greatest luck in my life is that I'm not like you!"

Philip VI laughed even louder, but suddenly he coughed violently and even coughed up blood.

John suddenly panicked: "What's wrong with you! Damn it, I'm going to find a doctor!"

He made a move to get up, but Philip VI grabbed John's wrist tightly.

Philip VI was very happy. He would understand until his death how much his children were worried about him. Otherwise, he should have just stood aside if he knew something was wrong with him.

John's concern made Philip VI feel relieved.

"Kid, there's no need to look for it."

"What are you doing!"

"Sit down and obey, I won't live much longer."

"That's not to die now!"

"No, I just have to die now."

John looked horrified: "What are you talking about?"

"I said, I'm going to die today, kid, would you please sit down."

John sat back on the bed as if he had lost his soul.

"Kid, hold my hand."

John reached out with some trembling, and took Philip VI's hand on the quilt.

The two haven't had close contact for a long time.

So many years since Philip VI was king.

never had.

John felt the age and weakness in Philip VI's hands, and looked at the age spots on the back of his hands, feeling in a daze.

His green eyes trembled, and he raised his head to look at Philip VI's still kind and kind smile, with blood hanging from the corners of his mouth.

"Child, don't worry. I know you won't understand now, but tell Bonet about my choice to leave. She is smart and will tell you that the purpose of my doing this is that I must die. reason."

"No, you shouldn't be like this"

"My good boy, don't speak and listen to my last words."

John pursed his lips and lowered his head.

"Now is the best time for you to take this position. Thanks to Raya, the entire nobility, including the Holy See, has been forced to mobilize. Everyone has begun to prepare for the war with England. Everyone is still willing to believe in the royal family. ”

"And I can't die at the beginning of the war. This will have a great impact on morale, so I have to die."

John lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly: "That's not now."

"Because I have to give you time."

"Time?" John was puzzled.

Philip VI smiled and said nothing and did not continue to talk about this topic.

"Son, from the moment I sat in this position, all I could think about was solving all the troubles facing the kingdom."

"There's trouble in the territory, and I want to resolve the war."

"The nobles are in trouble, and I have to deal with them."

"The Pope is in trouble, I want to replace the Pope"

"When Blanche is in trouble, I want to destroy her."

"I regret everything I did. I regret that after becoming the king, I didn't have time to accompany you and your mother."

"But I will still choose to do it."

"Because to this day, I have become a trouble to the kingdom and a trouble to you."

"I had to deal with myself."

John was about to throw away his hands and get up to find the doctor: "No! You can still be saved!"

Philip VI pulled him tightly and motioned for John to sit down.

"My child, after drinking that glass of water, I won't have more than ten minutes left. I feel like my consciousness is blurring. Can you use this time to stay with me more?"

"No, damn! You can't be like this! You can't be so selfish! Why do you do this every time! Why don't you consider my thoughts, why don't you ask me! Why do you make such a decision, you can tell me, you just It’s not trouble! No one wants to deal with you! Oh my God! Why are you so selfish?

John held Philip VI's hand tightly and cried hysterically.

Philip VI still had a kind smile on his face, and he held the child's hand firmly.

"Child, you want to blame me, and even more, you want to hate me."

"But you must always remember that you are the king and the master of France."

"I won't blame you, let alone hate you. You are my good boy."

"You have to remember, John."

"Your mother and I love you very much."

"My child, don't feel any psychological burden because of my death. You should enjoy everything that belongs to you generously. I have never thought about asking you to repay me for all the things I have done to you. I want you to go well, I love you from heaven to hell."
