Chapter 69: The Emperor's Wrath (for collection)
"Oscar, my child, how are you feeling?" Queen Victoria looked concerned. As Qin Tian's mother, she didn't like Qin Tian at first. Like William II, she loves her eldest son Crown Prince William more. However, as Qin Tian's performance became more and more outstanding, and he did not forget to give her some gifts from time to time, her impression of Qin Tian also changed greatly.
"Mother, I feel much better, but the wound still hurts, and I have no strength." Qin Tian's face was a little pale, which was the sequelae caused by excessive blood loss. After being shot, he bled a lot.
"Oscar, you are a man, you are good. Scars are medals on a man. How can a real man not have a few scars?" William II said.
It was already the second day after Qin Tian woke up, and William II and Queen Victoria came to see him. Their identities determined that they could not stay in the hospital all the time like the parents of ordinary people.
Qin Tian smiled wryly and shook his head: "Father, I hope that this scar was left on the battlefield, instead of suffering a despicable and shameless assassination like now!"
Qin Tian was also very angry when he was assassinated and almost lost his life. At this point, anyone facing such a situation will probably be angry!
After waking up, Qin Tian was also secretly thinking about who sent the killer to assassinate him. After much deliberation, Crown Prince William was the most suspected. However, in the absence of evidence, he could not express his suspicions. Otherwise, if you doubt the crown prince, you will be gossiped.
However, what happened this time also reminded Qin Tian that he must be cautious in the future. He is now worth hundreds of millions, and he is no longer an ordinary person. More and more people are being offended. I don't know how many people wanted his life. If you don't pay attention, you deserve to be assassinated and lose your life.
"Oscar, did you offend someone? Otherwise, how could they treat you like this? If you let me know who did it, I will never let him go!" Queen Victoria looked angry.
A trace of anger also flashed in William II's eyes. Obviously, he already knew what was going on. However, he did not intend to tell Qin Tian the truth. Although, this may be somewhat unfair to Qin Tian. However, for the stability of the empire and the peace of the royal family, he had to do this. Besides, even though he is the emperor, he is still a person after all. As long as you are human, you will have your own preferences and prejudices.
For Crown Prince William, William II was indeed very disappointed. However, if he really made up his mind to replace Crown Prince William's succession to the throne, he still couldn't do it. After all, that is his carefully cultivated son, and he hopes that he can inherit the entire empire. If he gave up now, wouldn't that mean that his training methods over the years were all wrong? For William II, this was somewhat unacceptable.
"Oscar, you can rest at ease and recuperate. Let the people below do the work. Now, you just need to stay in the hospital obediently. When your condition stabilizes, we will take you back to the palace." William Second said.
"Okay, Father. However, I think the conditions here are good, so it's better to stay here." Qin Tian refused.
"So be it!" William II did not insist.
When William II and Queen Victoria left the ward, the smile on Qin Tian's face disappeared completely. From William II's reply just now, he guessed what was going on. Obviously, William II already knew who did it, but William II seemed to want to hide it. This undoubtedly shows that his guess is completely correct. And William II's choice undoubtedly made Qin Tian very disappointed.
"It seems that in such a situation, Crown Prince William is more important to him!" Qin Tian murmured.
After William II returned to the palace, he immediately summoned Essen von Jonneret.
"Essen, is there any definite evidence that all this was ordered by the Crown Prince?" William II asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The killer has already confessed. He was sent by Grand Duke Friedrich Franz III of Mecklenburg Schwerin to assassinate Prince Oscar." Essen von Jonalet said.
King William II's face suddenly became gloomy, as if dripping water. Although Essen von Jonareit did not say so. But of course he knew what it meant. Friedrich Franz III, that is the father-in-law of Crown Prince William. He would send someone to assassinate Qin Tian, of course because Qin Tian's rise endangered the status of Crown Prince William.
Although, William II had to admit that he did have the idea of replacing the crown prince because of Qin Tian's excellence. However, he has been indecisive. He never expected that Crown Prince William would attack Qin Tianxia because of this, which made him unacceptable.
"They are brothers! How did Prince become what he is now?" William II was a little sad.
"Your Majesty, perhaps this was not the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but maybe it was Lieutenant General Friedrich Franz III's decision? After all, Prince Oscar's performance is really outstanding. Friedrich Franz Lanz III was afraid that Prince Oscar would replace Crown Prince William, so he did such a thing." Essen von Jonareit said.
It's just that his explanation is so far-fetched. William II also knew that Essen von Jonareit was just trying to comfort him. The actual situation is already very obvious.
"Essen, send someone to collect the illegal evidence of Friedrich Franz III. This time, I will replace the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Schwerin with someone else." William II looked murderous.
As an emperor, majesty is absolutely unchallenged. If you dare to assassinate his son, you have to be prepared for revenge.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Essen von Jonalet nodded.
"As for Crown Prince William, let him come to see me immediately." William II said.
"Okay, Your Majesty." Essen von Jonareit knew that William II probably planned to give Crown Prince William another chance this time. He couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart. It would be great if William II could directly ask for the removal of Crown Prince William's right of succession and Qin Tian as Crown Prince. But it is a pity that William II still couldn't make this determination.
