"Oskar, my child, how are you feeling?" Empress Victoria looked concerned. As Oscar's mother, she didn't like Oscar at first. Like Wilhelm II, she loves her eldest son Crown Prince Wilhelm even more. However, as Oscar performed better and better and never forgot to give her some gifts from time to time, her impression of Oscar also changed greatly.
"Mother Empress, I feel much better, but the wound still hurts a little, and I don't have any strength." Oscar's face is a little pale, which is the sequelae caused by excessive blood loss. After being shot, he bled profusely.
"Oskar, you are a good man. Scars are medals on a man's body. How can a real man not have a few scars?" Wilhelm II said.
This was already the second day after Oscar woke up, and Wilhelm II and Empress Victoria came to see him. Their identities determine that they cannot stay in the hospital like ordinary parents.
Oscar smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Father Emperor, I hope this scar was left on the battlefield, rather than a despicable assassination like now!"
Oscar was also very angry about being assassinated and almost losing his life. At this point, anyone faced with such a situation would probably be angry!
After waking up, Oscar was also secretly thinking about who sent the killer to assassinate him. After much deliberation, Crown Prince Wilhelm was the most suspected. However, he cannot express his suspicions without evidence. Otherwise, if you doubt Crown Prince, others will gossip about you.
However, what happened this time also reminded Oscar that he must be careful in the future. He is now considered a billionaire and is no longer an ordinary person. More and more people are 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.
"Oskar, have you offended someone? Otherwise, how could they do this to you? If you let me know who did it, I will never let him go!" Empress Victoria looked angry.
Wilhelm II also had a flash of anger in his eyes. Obviously, he already knew what was going on. However, he did not intend to tell Oscar the truth. Although, this may be unfair to Oscar. 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 Wilhelm, Wilhelm II is indeed very disappointed. However, if he really wanted to make up his mind to replace Crown Prince Wilhelm's right to inherit the throne, he still couldn't do it. After all, that was the son he carefully cultivated, hoping that he could inherit the entire empire. If he gave up now, wouldn't it mean that his training methods over the years were wrong? This is somewhat unacceptable to Wilhelm II.
"Oskar, you can rest in peace and recuperate. Let the people below do the work first. Now, you just need to stay in the hospital. When your condition stabilizes, we will take you back to the palace." Wilhelm II said.
"Okay, Father Emperor. However, I think the conditions here are good, so it's better to stay here." Oscar refused.
"Then let's do it!" Wilhelm II didn't insist.
When Wilhelm II and Empress Victoria left the ward, the smile on Oscar's face disappeared immediately. From Wilhelm II's reply just now, he could guess what was going on. Obviously, Wilhelm II already knows who did it, but Wilhelm II seems to want to hide it. This undoubtedly shows that his guess is completely correct. Wilhelm II's choice undoubtedly disappointed Oscar.
"It seems that in this situation, Crown Prince Wilhelm is more important in his mind!" Oscar murmured.
After Wilhelm II returned to the palace, he immediately summoned Essen? Feng? Jonath.
"Essen, is there any definite evidence that Crown Prince instigated all of this?" Wilhelm II asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The killer has confessed. It was Grand Duke Friedrich Franz III of Mecklenburg Schwerin who sent him to assassinate Prince Oskar." Essen von Jonath said.
Wilhelm II's face suddenly became gloomy, as if it could drip water. Although Essen? Feng? Jonath didn't say it clearly. But of course he knew what this meant. Friedrich? Franz III, that is Crown Prince Wilhelm's father-in-law. He will send people to assassinate Oscar, of course because the rise of Oscar has endangered the status of Crown Prince Wilhelm.
Although, Wilhelm II had to admit that he did have the idea of replacing Crown Prince because of Oscar's excellence. However, he had been undecided. He never expected that Crown Prince Wilhelm would attack Oscar because of this, which he couldn't accept.
"They are brothers! How did Prince become like this?" Wilhelm II was a little sad.
"Your Majesty, maybe this is not the instruction of Crown Prince, but the decision of Friedrich? Maybe Lieutenant General Franz III's decision? After all, Prince Oskar's performance is really outstanding. Friedrich? Franz III was afraid that Prince Oskar would replace Crown Prince Wilhelm, so he did such a thing," Essen? Feng? Jonath said.
However, his explanation is so far-fetched. Wilhelm II also knew that Essen? Feng? Jonath was just trying to comfort him. The actual situation is already very obvious.
"Essen, send people to collect evidence of Friedrich Franz III's crimes. This time, I want to replace the Archduke of Mecklenburg Schwerin with someone else." Wilhelm II looked murderous.
As an emperor, his majesty cannot be challenged. If you dare to assassinate his son, you must be prepared for revenge.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Essen? Feng? Jonath nodded.
"As for Crown Prince Wilhelm, ask him to come see me immediately." Wilhelm II said.
"Okay, Your Majesty." Essen? Feng? Jonath knew that Wilhelm II probably still planned to give Crown Prince Wilhelm another chance this time. He couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart. It would be great if Wilhelm II could directly request that Crown Prince Wilhelm's inheritance rights be removed and Oscar be appointed as Crown Prince. But it is a pity that Wilhelm II still cannot make this determination.
