The Rise of the European Emperor

"Crack-crack-"

"Ah——" With the waving of the barbed cowhide whip, Prince Francois's scream came from the secret room in the dirt mountain.

"Your Highness, write a letter and tell your mother-in-law that you are being beaten. If she refuses to hand over the heads of Margaret and her child, you will be beaten every day until you are killed!" Moore, a prisoner-turned-spy De threatened fiercely in French with an English accent.

"No, you can't do this! I am the future king of France, and if you do this, it is against the rules of the European aristocracy!" Prince Francois said in horror.

"Sorry, Your Highness, we are just a group of pirates who have a grudge against Margaret, not nobles. Therefore, we don't care about the rules!" Molde said with a sinister smile.

Prince Francois has already determined that they were sent by the current King Edward, and wants to justify. However, the only answer to him was a cowhide whip with barbs...

"Ah—" After adding a few more bloodstains on his body, Prince Francois became honest and began to write letters to his mother-in-law, begging her to save him...

Then, the letter was shot into the palace of Paris by bow and arrow...

After seeing the letter, Queen Anne asked with a livid face:

"Have you found out who sent the letter? Also, have you found the whereabouts of Prince Francois?"

Pete, the leader of the city guards, knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said:

"Sorry, queen, we are short of manpower..."

What he said is also true. At this critical juncture, the Paris garrison with only 4,000 real defenders can only give priority to ensuring the safety of the royal palace and the key areas of Paris, and is really unable to conduct large-scale searches. As for the search in the city by some soldiers of the City Guards, to the spies of the Beihai Kingdom, it was child's play. They all have legal status and have lived in Paris for many years. How do you know who's guilty without a catch?

"Oh, it's just that the child Francois suffered..." Queen Anne had no one in her hands, so she could only give up. However, in order to make the prospective son-in-law feel better, she pooled up a thousand gold coins and sent them to a designated location outside the city for Marin's spies to take them away. By doing this, I hope that those people will look at the face of money and act lightly...

As for the other protagonist of the incident, Margaret of the Tudor family, after the attack that night, she had already hid in the palace and lived with the palace guards.

For a while, Marin almost wanted the fat brother to poison the woman to death. However, the fat brother is the top chef, and he is only responsible for the meals of the king's family. As for the woman, she usually eats with the officers who guard the palace. Their meals are cooked by ordinary low-level royal chefs. The fat brother just wanted to do it, but he didn't have a chance. Moreover, Marin also counted on the two of them to help find out the news in the palace, but in the end they didn't let them do it.

...

As for the Beihai country, after more than ten days of training, more than a dozen teenagers have mastered vasectomy proficiently. After all, ligation is just a small operation and it is not difficult to learn. The difficulty is to be gentle with your hands and feet, and it is best not to break the vas deferens.

After more than ten days of practice, more than a dozen orphans and teenagers have learned to skillfully perform ligation and suture wounds. And the young Gucci, who was listed separately by Marin, also learned how to disguise the stitched wound after ligation as a whiplash wound with Liu Taiyi...

Then, the other dozen teenagers were all shipped to Grenada Island. There, Marin will build a sterilization center for them. All black slaves transported from Africa have to undergo a sterilization operation at the sterilization center and then rest for a week. Then, it will be sent to the specific farm.

As for the young Gucci, he was secretly sent to the small manor outside Paris by Kohler's spies. Most of the people in that manor are spies from the Beihai Chamber of Commerce...

...

At this time, Louis XII in Italy also received a letter from Queen Anne. Knowing that his son-in-law and heir-to-be had been kidnapped and asked to exchange the heads of Marguerite's mother and child, Louis XII's first reaction was "Edward did it."

At this time, Louis XII was leading an army to Naples. At this time, the large army, including the supply troops, had left the territory of the Papal State and entered the territory of the Kingdom of Naples. As for the vanguard of the 10,000 cavalry, it had already arrived outside the city of Naples and destroyed the wharf of the port of Naples.

Louis XII obviously refused to hand over Tudor Margaret and her son. After all, that is an important pawn for his future intervention in England. As for Prince Francois, Louis XII did not like it much. Because, until now, Louis XII was still dreaming of "having a son", and did not regard Prince Francois as the heir to the Kingdom of France.

Of course, as the king of France, Louis XII could not just give up the offshoot princes. Therefore, he signed the order - not to exchange the lives of Margaret's mother and child! But at the same time, it was proposed to exchange 50,000 gold coins for Prince Francois...

This order was then carried back to Paris by carrier pigeons. Then, Queen Anne wrote the reply in a letter and sent it to the designated place outside the city as a reply...

...

At this time, our young Gucci is performing a ligation operation on Prince François. After receiving the reply, Hansel wrote back to Queen Anne directly according to the script, saying that - 50,000 is too little, 100,000 is needed...

In fact, this guy is simply delaying time. After all, even if the ligation operation is completed, it will take 7 days to recover. After 7 days, it's not very obvious...

During the operation, Gucci asked someone to cover Prince François' mouth and nose with a towel with ether. After covering for a while, Prince Francois passed out. Before he fell into a coma, Prince Francois was terrified—he thought the other party was going to smother him to death...

After a successful ligation, Gooch disguised the stitched wound to look like a whipped wound. Afterwards, Gu Qi took out the Mongolian sweat medicine prepared by Imperial Physician Liu, and ordered Hansel to give it to Prince Francois with spirits every day. In this way, Prince Francois, who is drunk and drowsy every day, will not feel that his balls have been tampered with...

A few days later, Gucci removed the stitches from the comatose Prince François and left. However, shortly after leaving the secret stronghold, poor Gucci was killed by the killer sent by Kohler...

...

And our Prince Francois, at this time, was already covered in bruises, with hundreds of wounds all over his body. The pain of the wound made him unaware that his balls had been tampered with. As for the scar on the testicle, he thought it was a whip that was accidentally drawn on it...

And these days, Queen Anne finally reached an agreement with Hansel and his party-they are willing to redeem Prince Francois with 80,000 gold coins.

As for the extra 30,000 gold coins, they were actually issued by the Earl of Angoulême, a branch of the Valois dynasty where Prince François is located. Princess Louise of Savoy, the mother of Prince Francois, only had such a son, and her husband had passed away long ago, so she was naturally willing to spend all she had to redeem her son. And other members of Angoulême's team, such as Prince Francois's uncle John, also fully supported the sister-in-law to redeem the eldest nephew. Because he understands that if his eldest nephew becomes the king of France, the Angoulême branch will rise in the future. If it was an ordinary earl family, he might wish for his nephew to die so that he could inherit the title. But if the nephew has a chance to be king, that's another matter.

Therefore, the Earl of Angoulême collected 30,000 gold coins, plus 50,000 gold coins allocated by the royal family, and sent them to the Seine River outside Paris...

In the middle of the night, Hansel sent someone to take all the gold coins away by speedboat. The French army did not dare to chase, because they were afraid of angering the kidnappers and causing Prince Francois to be in danger.

The next day, Prince Francois, who was covered in bruises, was sent to a small town outside Paris. Afterwards, he was taken into the Royal Palace of Paris...

It's just that the French didn't know that the future French king who brought him back had already been ligated. The French royal family is doomed to become extinct this time...
