Struggle in Russia - #2319 - Vol 3 Chapter 1367: Not as good as a woman?

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】【】

Nelidova was very dissatisfied with Count Kleinmicher’s nervousness. After spending so many years in the Winter Palace, she had seen through everything.

There is not a single good person in that smoky place. From top to bottom, whether it is the tsar, queen, or ministers, they are not good people.

Especially the Tsar, who is evil from the very core to the very skin!

However, although these guys are bad, they are not omnipotent. Their abilities are actually not as terrifying as imagined. If they can really calculate everything, how can they be messed up.

Just like Alexander II, she could see through this guy’s hypocrisy, but to be honest, after eliminating the interference of power and status, his personal ability was actually a man of sorts. Not much better than ordinary people, and even worse than ordinary people in many aspects.

It is true that you say that he is more suspicious, but it is nonsense to say that he is aware of even the tiniest details and cannot escape his eyes.

“You just think too much. With his ability, he is no match for that old fox. He could even deceive Nicholas I, but he can’t deal with his cubs?”

Count Kleinmicher’s lips twitched when he heard this. In recent days, Neridova has become less and less respectful of the royal family, especially Alexander II.

This is not a good sign. If you tell someone outside, wouldn’t that lead to trouble?

Neridova snorted: “If I can only tell lies when I’m with you, what’s the point… Their family is so disgusting!”

Count Kleinmicher frowned and asked, “Did the Queen Mother make things difficult for you again?”

Neridova snorted: “Isn’t it normal for her to make things difficult for me? I’m used to it, but I can’t stand the hypocritical style of their family… They say they care and love us, but in fact they want to kill us. It’s nothing to torture weak women like us in different ways!”

Count Kleinmicher asked anxiously: “What happened? What did the Queen Mother do to make you so unhappy?”

Neridova sighed and said: “I just can’t stand her. She obviously hates us to death, but she is too stubborn to save face and refuses to kill all the old people like us. She is full of yin and yang and secretly stumbles. I made some sisters angry and cry today… Huh, if His Majesty was still here, do you think she would dare to do this? She keeps pretending to be a good wife and mother, what the hell!”

Count Kleinmicher couldn’t help but feel a little headache after listening to her talking a lot. It’s hard to explain the mess in Nicholas I’s harem. He had so many confidantes, which naturally made his wife sick.

The Empress Dowager had nothing to do with him back then, but now that he is gone, she will naturally vent her anger on those confidantes. The war between women is terrible!

But he couldn’t get involved in this matter. Emotionally speaking, he understood the empress dowager, but Neridova was his woman after all, and he couldn’t turn his elbows out.

After thinking about it, he could only say: “How about this? You go to Sochi for a vacation and recuperate for a while. Out of sight, out of mind. And St. Petersburg is not peaceful recently. It’s better to stay out of the limelight so as not to get involved!”

“Something big is going to happen in St. Petersburg again?!”

But what he didn’t expect was that Neridova’s eyes shone when she heard this. This woman likes to get involved in this kind of thing. Especially after leaving the Winter Palace, she felt more bored than ever before. Now she is eager to find something to do. It was just fun to make pictures. She heard that something was going to happen in St. Petersburg. How could she leave?

I have to say that Count Kleinmicher was a bit of a failure in this regard. He always regarded Neridova as a greenhouse flower that needed careful care, fearing that she would be blown by the wind and wet by the rain, but she was clearly a flower with thorns. The wild roses are not afraid of wind and rain at all, and even wish that the wind and rain would come more violently.

She asked with great interest: “What’s going to happen? Are the reformists going to fight with the conservatives? Is the earl going to take action too?”

Count Kleinmicher looked at Neridova speechlessly. He didn’t understand what he was interested in in this kind of nonsense. If possible, he hoped that the country and the people would remain peaceful and nothing would happen.

Isn’t it good to be safe and sound?

The quarrels were so public and the intrigues were secretly happening now that big news would break out from time to time. Such exciting days were really overwhelming for him!

He didn’t want to care about this nonsense at all, and naturally he didn’t want to mention it, but Neridova persisted in asking to the end. In desperation, he could only tell the whole story.

“Nikolai Alexeevich (Milyutin) and Grand Duke Constantine are having a quarrel? This is the rhythm of internal strife among the reformists!”

Neridova’s face was full of excitement, as if she had discovered something particularly interesting, and she asked repeatedly: “Count Rostovtsev must take action this time, right? He can’t just watch his little brother fight. Don’t you care?”

Without waiting for Count Kleinmicher to explain, she added: “You said that even His Majesty was involved. Is this considered a decisive battle?”

Count Kleinmicher looked at her speechlessly, and after a long time he said: “It’s not a world war. I’ve asked that count, and he won’t take action because it’s just Archduke Constantine. Even with His Majesty’s help, we can’t change the situation!”

Neridova rolled her eyes at him: “If you can’t change the world, why do you want me to hide?”

Count Kleinmicher was speechless again for a while. Was he concerned about whether he was okay? Doesn’t it mean that such a big thing cannot be done if it can’t be shaken up?

There have been many overturns in the officialdom, and many once-prominent bosses have failed miserably. Anyway, he doesn’t think Count Rostovtsev will have the last laugh.

Neridova rolled her eyes at him again: “You, you have never understood this in your whole life. I really don’t know how you can stay in the Winter Palace for so long… In my opinion, that count is not a fool who doesn’t know how high the sky is. Even to His Majesty, he dared to say that he would definitely win, so he must be sure of victory. What’s more, you also said that His Majesty’s trump card is Duke Baryatinsky… Haha, to put it mildly, His Majesty miscalculated his strength. That person… that Duke is quite powerful, but his power is not as great as imagined. His power and status all come from His Majesty’s favor, but now Your Majesty is just like this. That favor brings How big can the bonus be?”

Count Kleinmicher was stunned when asked. He admitted that his political sense and sensitivity were indeed quite average. His ability to stay in the Winter Palace for so many years was entirely due to good luck and his personal friendship with Nicholas I. But could it be that Is he really that bad?

He glanced at Neridova, whose eyes were shining, and thought to himself: Could he be worse than a weak woman watching?
