William's orders were always carried out quickly, and Buel immediately led the royal guards to blockade Sanssouci Palace, and not only that, but even the garrison in Potsdam was quickly mobilized after the order was given.
Although it may seem like a bit of a fuss about such a big battle, the residents of Potsdam can understand it, after all, the impact of the Gnod case on Prussia is too great, and if there are frenzied remnants who want to sneak into Potsdam to make trouble, the residents of Potsdam have no objection to this.
William's eyes were not only on Louise and Ferdinand, but also on Locks, who by law would have the supreme power until William came of age, unless they agreed to give up their regents.
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother has not eaten for two days, I miss you ......."
Buel walked into William's study and whispered, and his words made William stand up suddenly, and then William ran out.
"Mother, I think we need to talk" William pushed the door and walked into Louise's room, where Louise sat alone in a chair, and when she heard the door knock, Louise's head lifted slightly, but then fell down again.
"Mother, Gnord is just a distant relative of yours, do you need to care about him like that?"
Seeing Louise so depressed, William shouted in distress, and it was obvious that William's shout made Louise's body tremble.
"Mother, are you going to abandon your son for the sake of a Gnord?"
Seeing that Louise seemed to have a reaction, William hurriedly asked again, and as soon as she finished speaking, Louise's head was raised, and her eyes looked at William blankly, with tears in her eyes.
"William, my child ......."
"Mother.
I ........"
William suddenly felt himself choked up, and it was clear that Louise's current appearance made him a little uncomfortable "When I was a child, one sudden afternoon, Gnord walked into the palace of Hesse, because of relatives.
My mother took me to meet Gnod."
Louise's muttering rang in William's ears "It was sunny at Gnord.
His smile warmed my first day of school, because my mother was very strict, so the only peer I came into contact with in the palace at that time who was not my immediate family member was Gnord.
And then our relationship went very well, and he became a good friend of mine.
But what I didn't expect was that once Gnord would rashly come to my father and propose the idea of marrying me, of course his proposal was rejected by my father, who felt that Gnord was not worthy of me at all.
I had mixed feelings at the time, and it was undeniable that I did have a crush on Gnord, and I even thought it would be if nothing else.
Maybe it's a good choice for me to be the bride of Gnord."
William was stunned by Louise's words, he didn't expect that there would be so many insiders in it "Then your father, Crown Prince Wilhelm, proposed to me on behalf of Prussia, and my father was very pleased, because he felt that this might be a crucial step in strengthening the relationship between Hesse and Prussia, and I resisted my father's order, and I even had a heated argument with my father, knowing that I had always been a very obedient and good child.
Huh," As she spoke, Louise smiled bitterly, and then she saw William's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, and Louise continued calmly: "There's nothing between me and Gnord, maybe to keep something from happening to us.
The first thing my father did after confirming my engagement to your father was to kick Gnord out of Hesse, you don't know how desperate I cried at the beginning, although Gnord and I didn't fall in love, but liking was inevitable."
Louise's explanation made William breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn't want anything to happen between his mother and that Gnord shit.
"Perhaps your father's flowery heart is also the result of my indulgence, after marrying into Prussia.
I never pretended to be your father, and at that time I thought I was nothing more than an instrument of the marriage between Hesse and Prussia.
So I had a very unpleasant relationship with your father at the time, but what I didn't expect was that after your father's death, Gnod actually found Sanssouci Palace.
At Sanssouci Gnod told me that he had come to Prussia after leaving Hesse because he wanted to see me again all of a sudden, and that he had never forgotten me in his heart."
As she spoke, Louise couldn't cry anymore, but William's face was blue, this is a living bloody drama, and now it actually appears in the Prussian royal family, and the world is really unpredictable!
"Out of guilt for Gnord, or nostalgia for his past, I personally arranged for Gnord to be sent to Brandenburg, although I know that Gnord's ability is limited, but I hope he can live happily ever after."
After taking the handkerchief handed by William, Louise wiped the tears from her eyes and said in a choked voice "Actually, when I first did this business with Gnord, I knew that Gnord begged me at that time, and he told me that if I didn't help him, he would be forced to die, and he hoped that I could save him.
William's heart was shocked, he didn't expect Louise to be involved in this case, and she could be regarded as one of the masterminds.
"But what I didn't expect was that Gnord seemed to be addicted, and what he promised me at the beginning had become a completely empty word, and by the time I sent someone to investigate, Gnord had already done a lot of wrong things, and I was hesitant to say it to you at that time, but I really couldn't stand Gnord's pleading, woo woo.........."
Looking at Louise's crying figure, William's mood is very complicated, if Louise is undoubtedly very irresponsible from the national aspect, she tolerates Gnord and his gang betraying the interests of the country again and again.
But from a personal point of view, Louise is indeed a pathetic woman, although it is not excluded that Gnord deliberately wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix, but after all, he is the first man to leave traces in Louise's heart, and a person, whether male or female, is always unforgettable for the first person of the opposite sex who has a good impression of him in his life.
Therefore, Louise can be said to be sad and lamentable, and she can only blame fate.
Sometimes it's like this, meeting the wrong person at the right time is a sigh, and meeting the right person at the right time is a lifetime of happiness.
Meeting the right person at the wrong time is a heartache, and meeting the wrong person at the wrong time is a lifetime of absurdity.
"Mother, forget it, don't be sad, it's not worth being sad for someone like Gnord, you better eat something" Seeing that Louise did not speak, William clapped his hands and shouted to come in, and after a while Bouel walked in "Go find something to eat and bring it up, and go get some cider" Cider is a drink produced in Hesse, and of course it is also a type of alcohol, with an alcohol content of 5-6% and a rich taste.
As the princess of Hesse, Louise likes this hometown drink very much, and she will drink it when she has nothing to do, so William will highlight it.
Sure enough, after the food was pushed in, Louise didn't move, poured a glass of cider and drank it, and after a few drinks, Louise's cheeks were imprinted with some red "William, you have grown up, I don't think there is any need for the regent status granted to me by the council to exist anymore, tomorrow I will talk to Locks, and if he agrees, I will apply to the council to remove the regency from the position" Hearing Louise say this, William's heart fell to the ground, to be honest, this regent identity is indeed a big bomb, a bad one, not only William but even the whole of Prussia will be shattered by its explosion.
"William, I want to remind you of one thing, you must beware of the old fox Locks, this old fox has long known about Gnord, although I don't know why, but he didn't mention this matter, one of the few people I took care of at the beginning was a disciple of Locks, of course, this relationship was only known later, so William, you must be careful" Louise's words dropped a bombshell in William's heart, and just when William wanted to ask again, Louise was already drowsy, seeing this, William helped Louise to the bedside, and then covered her with a quilt and withdrew.
After walking out of the room, William looked at Buel, who was waiting on the side, and suddenly said: "Buel, what do you think of Prime Minister Locks?"

Buel was taken aback, and it was clear that William's question was difficult for him to answer "Well, Duke Locks is a diligent man for his country......"
Bouel's answer did not satisfy William "Bouel, I want you to be honest!"
William's questioning made Bouel grit his teeth, and then he looked around for a moment, then walked to William's left ear and said softly: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, either you are a traitor or you are a traitor!"
Hearing Buel's answer, William's heart was relieved, obviously what Buel said was very consistent with Locks's performance, which at least showed that Buel was still more pertinent.
This made William, who had become a little sensitive because of the Gnord case, a Gnord involved so many stories, which William did not expect at first, and what Louise said just now Locks already knew made William very shocked.
Why didn't Locks, who already knew what Gnord was secretly doing, provoke?
Could it be that he wanted to wait for the time when things could not be covered up before making a move, and then use it to attack the prestige of Louise and even William?
William shuddered at the thought of this.
