After Count Persini brought John Brown into the mansion, Jerome Bonaparte also noticed this guy in "exotic clothes" (John Brown was wearing Scottish lace, which is really a bit hot).

"His Royal Highness, this is Mr. John Brown, the housekeeper from Windsor Castle!" After introducing John Brown to Jerome, Persini added, "A month ago, I called on Your Majesty!"

"Yeah! A month ago, Prince Louis was still so healthy! Who knows that he will pass away a month later. It is really unpredictable." John Brown wiped the corner of his eyes without tears, pretending to be distraught said like.

Jerome Bonaparte looked at John Brown carefully. In his expectation, the action of the royal family should not be submitted to the cabinet in advance, and then discussed by the cabinet before making contact.

Why is the speed of the Royal Family of Windsor Castle so fast? unless…

Jerome Bonaparte suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the royal family of the United Kingdom did not directly contact him through the cabinet.

Jerome breathed a sigh of relief while feeling sorry in his heart.

If it is the official intervention of the United Kingdom, it is very likely that it will cause some unnecessary embarrassment to both parties.

Compared with the help of the United Kingdom, Jerome is more afraid of the French government to ban him.

Although the royalists in Paris have thwarted Lamartine's nomination answer that the French royal family cannot participate in the election, it must not be difficult for Lamartine to use his power to target a certain person.

And the private acceptance of the royal family and the royal family will not leave any control!

"Thanks to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert for their concern. The Bonaparte family will definitely keep in mind what the United Kingdom can do to the Bonaparte family..." Jerome said to John Brown with a rigid and formulaic official thank you.

Since my cousin has reached some conditions with them, he will not break his promise.

Sure enough, John Brown immediately asked Jerome, "His Excellency Prince Louis must have said something to you!"

"My cousin told me everything at the last moment of his life!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said.

"Since that's the case, I don't need to say more about the rest! The husband's conditions have not changed. I hope that you, Prince Jerome, will inherit the legacy of Prince Louis and stop the revolution! Only then will the conditions with Her Majesty take effect! I want to That's all I have to say, so disturbing!" John Brown bowed to Jerome Bonaparte, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Jerome Bonaparte stopped John Brown.

"Your Highness, is there anything I can help?" John Brown asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"That's right! I want to borrow Her Majesty's carriage! I don't know, Mr. Brown can fulfill my request!" said Jerome Bonaparte, pointing to the badge that John Brown had hung on his chest.

"This..." John Brown hesitated, to be honest, he didn't have the right to borrow, but Prince Albert specifically instructed him to act cheaply when he was parting, and he could try his best to satisfy his not-too-excessive requirements.

Jerome's borrowing a carriage is obviously a big deal and a small matter.

Seeing John Brown's concerns, Jerome Bonaparte took the lead and said: "We just hope that Mr. John Brown can take me and Mr. Pesini to the Times Building and that's all!"

"So that's what it is!" John Brown immediately told Jerome that he must meet Jerome's conditions.

Jerome once again instructed Tyran that he must guard the mansion, and then got into John Brown's carriage with Pesini.

This time even John Brown was in the driver's seat.

The carriage carrying Jerome and Pesini started slowly.

"Your Highness, what are we doing at The Times?" Pesini asked Jerome in a low voice in the carriage.

"You'll know when you arrive!" Jerome did not answer Pesini's question, but turned his eyes to the scenery outside the window.

The carriage traveled a few blocks through the bustling neighborhoods and then came to the Times building.

"His Royal Highness, we're here!" John Brown in the driver's seat shouted at Jerome in the car.

"Yeah!" Jerome in the carriage responded slowly, but he didn't get off for a long time.

The gentlemen near the Times Building stopped when they saw the carriage symbolizing the British royal family. They were curious about who was sitting in the carriage.

The carriage door slowly opened, and under the eyes of the British gentleman, Jerome and Persini slowly stepped out of the carriage.

"It's him?"

"I remember he was the butler beside Prince Louis?"

"How could they sit in the royal carriage, could it be..."

Louis Napoleon's status in the French social circle was so extraordinary that the British gentlemen knew Pessini who followed Louis Napoleon.

Just as the British gentleman was guessing, Jerome thanked John Brown again, and went straight to the Times Building.

Unaware that John Brown, who was used by Jerome, returned to Windsor Castle.

In the Times Building, Jerome and Pessini met their "old acquaintance" Forbe Eber [Note 1], the English translator of Thiers' "History of Governments and Empires" met Jerome Rom and Persini showed a surprised expression, and then laughed: "Mr. Persini, His Royal Highness, you are here!"

"Mr. Forbes, we need your help!" Jerome informed Forbes Ebel of the death of Louis Napoleon.

Forbe Ebel's expression changed from surprise to astonishment, and with an apology on his face, he said to Jerome, "I'm very sorry. I didn't know the news of your cousin's death!"

"Nothing!" Jerome Bonaparte stepped into the topic, they wanted to publish the news of Louis Napoleon's death in The Times.

"With all due respect, it seems that the news of the deceased has been published rashly..." Ebel had some concerns, and he was not sure whether Louis Napoleon was allowed to publish it.

"Please look at this!"

Having said that, Jerome Napoleon took out a folded manuscript.

Ebel opened the manuscript, and the title of the manuscript was written with a striking title "From Bonaparte to Bonaparte, on the Life of Louis Napoleon".

This kind of powerful title quickly caught Ebel's attention, and Ebel, with years of editing experience, can be sure that if the content is substantial, the article will be a big seller.

PS: 1. Forbe Ebel: the translator of The Times, who once handed over the annotation to Louis Napoleon for translation, and took Louis Napoleon to visit the Thames Building.
