Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Frederick William III thought that his wife had been alone with Napoleon for too long, which was considered a jealousy, so he opened the door and the scene was very embarrassing.

Although Napoleon coveted the queen's beauty, he would not do such a thing during negotiations. Even if he cheated on Prince Prussia, it would have to depend on the occasion.

The two sides are actually negotiating now, and even Napoleon admires Queen Louise. In this almost desperate situation, the Tsar will give a guarantee to keep Prussia's base in Brandenburg and East Prussia, even after being defeated by the French army a few days ago. Danzig was captured with the intention of establishing a free city.

Now that Queen Louise and Napoleon are talking to each other, they are discussing the delivery of some cities on the east bank of the Elbe River. However, what about the King of Prussia himself?

Anyone who sees it will feel embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, you came in at the wrong time. The queen is very charming and we had a great conversation. I was planning to make greater concessions."

Although the words were taken literally, Napoleon was now less angry and even planned to make some concessions.

However, since the king does not trust both parties in the talks, he has no choice but to forget it and cede less land to Saxony according to the concessions he has made to the queen. The boundaries of the Grand Duchy of Poland are also based on what is discussed now.

Even so, it was still a very harsh peace treaty for Prussia, but it was still better than cutting it into pieces and turning Hohenzollern into a law of equal inheritance.

Queen Louise could only sigh when she saw her husband like this. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, obviously trying to cover up the tears she had shed earlier.

She still used her own methods to get Napoleon to make concessions, but her reputation would definitely be troubled.

You must know that Queen Louise's sister married her second husband as a son-in-law. There are still many people in European royal families who live disorderly lives.

Frederick William III apparently suspected what had happened between his wife and Napoleon, so he treated his wife with a cold shoulder.

It was raining heavily at this time, and Queen Louise's carriage was still open, so she was soaked in the rain. The Russian coat she wore when she went out was also soaked through.

"Your Highness, you still have to pay attention to your health and don't catch a cold."

Solovyov, who was responsible for the escort task, was very good at doing things. He quickly brought an umbrella over to help the queen cover the rain.

"Thank you, Baron. It's a pity that I only have to get this little thing back."

"Things are always unpredictable. You have done a good job. If you follow the way you dealt with the defeated country, I am afraid you will have to pay more thalers in compensation. Even if there is a chance to restore Prussia's territory in the future, it will be heavy for the finances. burden."

"You are a soldier, but you still know how to manage money?"

After hearing what Queen Louise said, Solovyov also smiled.

"Your Highness, you are not in Petersburg, but you don't know that I come from a merchant family. My grandfather still managed the accounts for Prince Menshikov. He was made a baron during the period of Empress Catherine I."

"Ah, there is such a story. No wonder you always make such precise calculations when fighting. Although I don't understand military affairs, this is not a good habit."

"Who said that?"

"Lieutenant Colonel Clausewitz, when he explained the art of war to my son, this is what he said. Sometimes unexpected changes can seriously interfere with the execution of the plan."

"It makes sense, but peace is coming and I won't have to go to the battlefield for a while."

"Then you should get married. I heard that you have a good relationship with Madame Recamier, whom Prince Auguste likes."

This queen is good at everything, but she is too nosy.

Considering that she was born in the Year of the Monkey, it is inevitable that she is not a gossip monkey.

"You even know this."

"If August hadn't kept a mistress at home, this lady might have fallen into his sweet words."

"I'm not very good at this, I'm just good at poetry, and my wife often takes health supplements in Petersburg, which happen to be from my family."

"You should still go into business instead of becoming a general. No matter how you look at it, you still think like a businessman."

"But I'm pretty lucky. My wife's complexion has improved a lot after eating donkey skin glue. I'm also planning to import Chinese ginseng from Kyaktu. If you need it, I can help you get some at a reasonable price, Tongsou. No deception.”

"Look, this is a relapse of the old disease. As expected, he comes from a businessman family, and now you are still selling medicinal materials to me!"

Queen Louise said this and giggled.

It's summer now, and the skirt the queen is wearing is obviously more figure-flattering. Solovyov only thought that the queen's figure was plump before, but he noticed it now.

It's so big and very tall, like a plump grapefruit.

This FW king should cherish such a wife instead of being cold-faced. Where has the previous relationship between husband and wife gone?

You know, Queen Louise risked her reputation to be ruined by talking to Napoleon alone. Although this was also part of the secret room diplomacy, it was a man and a woman alone in a room after all.

The queen is so charming, and Solovyov also said that except for Louis, who fell ill in Egypt and followed his mother Letizia, and the money-grubbing Maria Anna, other members of the Bonaparte family include Counting each one, they are all very lustful.

But Napoleon was not so impatient, and if such a thing really happened, it would make the whole Prussian country even more resentful, and it would be too arrogant.

This kind of thing needs to be done secretly. You must know that although Alexander now suspects a circle of people who are related to Louisa, he has not been found as the perpetrator so far.

Of course, the queen also noticed that Solovyov's gaze had obviously shifted.

"Michael, are you getting married soon?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I am engaged to a girl from the Dolgorukov family. The wedding time is set in autumn. September is more suitable. If it is too late, it will be too cold. That kind of wedding dress will freeze the bride. ”

"Are you talking about my current situation?"

Obviously, the queen's physical condition was not good. At this point in Solovyov's words, she also understood.

"A cold can be very dangerous for you, especially if you get caught in the rain at this time."

"Thank you. As a general attendant, you are still very responsible, even if I am just a guest."

"This is a task assigned by the emperor. Naturally, I will do it with all my heart. I just didn't expect it to rain so hard today."

After returning to the residence, Queen Louise went upstairs to change clothes. She was indeed wet from the rain. Considering what happened today, it was somewhat pitiful and charming.

King Prussia has not come here today. Although he has some ability in managing domestic affairs, he has been so useless recently. Even the last bit of Prussia's dignity needs to be maintained by his wife, because his actions will also affect the reputation of the queen.

It is indeed embarrassing that things have reached this point. But think about the Hohenzollern that ruled Prussia for so many years. If it weren't for Russia, it might have been destroyed long ago. Instead of being able to maintain the territory of the old Prussian kingdom today and paying a lot of compensation, it can be done here. on one's last legs.

Solovyov also needs to change his coat. He usually stays in the official residence where Alexander is staying. The distance between both sides is very close, which makes it easier to call from all sides.

As for Queen Louise, shortly after she went upstairs and changed her clothes, she felt her body trembling, and then she began to have a high fever.

This frightened the maid who had been accompanying her. It would not be good to fall seriously ill like this just after the negotiation.

However, the Prussian imperial doctors often refused their diagnosis and treatment when King Frederick was still there. They lived for more than seventy years even though they were not in good health. This can be a sideways confirmation of the strength of European court physicians.

Napoleon also hated bloodletting and believed his own blood should be shed on the battlefield.

As for the medical accidents caused by bloodletting therapy in the palace, they are also endless, and many people have been killed by the medical treatment.

It gives the impression that studying medicine cannot save Europeans.

Solovyov actually thought so. He finally relaxed now, changed into clean clothes, and was about to lie down on the camp bed to sleep when he saw a maid of the Queen of Prussia holding an umbrella, panicking. Coming from across the street.

Oops, this queen has always suffered from chest tightness and shortness of breath. Could it be that something went wrong at this time?

Alexander did have an imperial doctor, but when he thought about the bloodletting therapy, Alexander himself was afraid that treating Queen Louise would make the situation worse, so he asked the doctor to only diagnose, not bloodletting.

It can be said that this northern Sphinx is very good at focusing on key points.

Then, Solovyov was caught as a young man again. After all, he knew herbal medicine.

Even if there really was a school with four faculties in Scotland, he might be able to work as a teaching assistant at the Herbology School or something like that.

After he changed his clothes, he followed the doctor.

Of course, Western medicine also checks the pulse, and the level of imperial doctors in this regard cannot be too low, especially since the Queen has very strict requirements for doctors.

But this did not delay the fact that when she was critically ill, the doctor had to bleed her and smear her with an ointment made from insects.

In essence, doctors in this era are just a bunch of young people. Traditional Chinese medicine has abolished martial arts and banned the foundation of surgery and some important disciplines. Western medicine has made scientific progress at the moment, but they have not made progress yet.

If we had waited for science to promote the development of medicine, I am afraid that Queen Louise would be cold by now.

"Doctor, how is the situation?"

"His Majesty the King of Prussia is not here. General, you are also the Emperor's attendant, so I tell you it doesn't matter. This is just a cold shower, and the mood is quite agitated, which is why you are like this."

Solovyov was a little confused after hearing this. I just introduced Chinese medicinal materials. Taking pulse is your own system of Western medicine and has nothing to do with Chinese medicine. How can it be diagnosed as if the old Chinese medicine doctor next door is talking?

"What should we do?"

"I think we still need antipyretic medicine. The emperor wants you to come over. Don't you have some expertise in this area?"

Got it, it seems like I still have to come up with the prescription myself.

"But I'm not a doctor. If necessary, should I also invite a doctor to the next time I communicate with the Emperor of China?"

I don’t know what the current progress is at Tongrentang.

But there is still some basis for Russian traditional medicine.

Solovyov did not come by himself. He was followed by a veteran of the Guards, but the veteran was mumbling.

"I think this queen is quite pitiful. If she has such a high fever, she should use willow bark as medicine."

"What did this veteran say?"

After all, the doctor was a German. He couldn't understand what the veteran said, so he needed Solovyov to translate.

"He said to use willow bark. Although it is a folk remedy in the countryside, it does make sense. But I have some other methods here. I have prepared these herbs for my own use. Doctor, do you think they can be used?"

He always has herbs on hand, and he is indeed afraid of being treated by quacks. The Tsar's imperial doctors in the palace are the ones who caused Peter Dolgorukov's death at the end of last year because of a high fever after returning to St. Petersburg.

The doctor was helpless at the time, and Queen Louise's condition is somewhat similar now.

Soloviev wrote down all the precautions for the herbs to the imperial doctors.

The other party saw this guy and wrote down the precautions for the use of the medicine, and knew that this attendant general who was proficient in herbs was indeed not given for nothing.

"Well, that makes sense, but where can I get these herbs?"

"Doctor, wait a minute. Every time I go to war, I ask my servants to pick some herbs for me. These herbs are common, not so precious. They are in a cowhide briefcase in the bedroom, placed in the most conspicuous place."

At this moment, he had sent the doctor away. If he wanted to know the queen's condition, he obviously still needed to ask.

Things like Yinqiao Powder, to be honest, are imported herbs from Kyakhta. If ginseng is preserved in moss, it can only last for ten days. It is actually difficult to preserve it for a long time. Solovyov has made many herbs into Ryazan folk remedies. Anyway, there are similar plants of the same genus in the local area. As long as they are not too outrageous, it will be fine.

He came to take Queen Louise's pulse, and then through asking, he also knew the general condition.

Since it is the symptom of the initial onset of febrile disease, at least the medication is correct.

Moreover, the queen's chest tightness may be caused by asthma, not heart problems, according to the maid's description, at least not for the time being.

In that case, it should be right to use medicine.

"Your Highness, the doctor has gone to get the herbs. You should bear with the pain for a while. You should feel better after taking the medicine for a few days."

"Yeah"

The queen is a little weak now, and the fever does make her feel uncomfortable.

"But don't let outsiders know about my condition, Michael, especially"

She is so sick, and she is still worried about her useless husband.

But it's also strange. When Solovyov spoke next, he also felt that it was strange to say this.

"Yes, Your Highness, you don't want your husband to know"

The style of the painting changed instantly.
