The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 166 The death of the Pope

On August 19, 1503, the sixth day after Pope Alexander VI and his son Caesar Borgia were poisoned, and the day before the onset of the chronic poison "Cantrella", the Archbishop of Rovere planted in Alexander VI. The dark son Paul beside him was poisoned again...

This time, though, instead of the lethal poison, Paul was throwing a laxative. The reason for the laxatives is very particular.

Tomorrow, August 20, is when the "Cantrera" virus will break out. But "Cantrella" is not without an antidote. As long as you find a live mule, slash the belly of the mule, and then get in the whole person and soak in the blood of the mule, you can save your life.

However, Paul gave Alexander VI a laxative one day in advance, which would make the 72-year-old Pope collapse and make his legs and feet weak.

Tomorrow, when the "Cantrella" poison occurs, the very old Pope may not have the strength to climb into the belly of the mule...

So, Archbishop Rovere is really a cunning old driver. He did not directly put other poisons, but directly poisoned Pope Alexander VI. Because that would be too bad.

The Pope is the spiritual leader of most countries in Europe. If he is poisoned, it is easy to suspect that the archbishop of Rovere, the nemesis of Alexander VI. Unless the Archbishop of Rovere is not running for the Pope, like poisoning Alexander VI, otherwise, the Pope must not be poisoned with ordinary poison. To be seen, it absolutely shook the whole of Europe.

However, using the slow poison "Cantrella" unique to the Borgia family would be a brilliant idea. Alexander VI poisoned several cardinals with "Cantrella", which has created a terrifying atmosphere in the city of Rome. If Alexander VI was poisoned by "Cantrera", everyone would probably applaud.

Moreover, Alexander VI was poisoned by his own unique poison, and no one would doubt the Archbishop of Rovere. Because, the "Cantrella" poison of the Borgia family has never been circulated, and it is only in the hands of a small number of core members of the Borgia family. Alexander VI was poisoned to death by "Cantrera", which can be completely publicized afterwards as - Alexander VI "mistaken" his own poison, resulting in his death...

Paul, the day before the poison broke out,

Laxatives for Alexander VI are also very inconspicuous. Because, in summer, food and everyone are prone to spoilage. Isn't it normal to eat a bad stomach? As long as you pull it up a few times, even if you take medicine to cure it, with Alexander VI's 72-year-old body, he will be completely weak within a few days. When the poison broke out the next day, he didn't have the strength to crawl into the mule's stomach.

Originally, Paul wanted to give Caesar Borgia a laxative too. It's a pity that Caesar Borgia ran out on this day. It is said that he went to have sex with his sister Lucrezia Borgia...

In this way, Paul can only give laxatives to Alexander VI alone...

After taking the laxative, Paul knew that he was in danger, and then he took a leave of absence in the name of going out to buy. After going out, he came to a broken house in a remote alley, and changed from the tunnel under the broken house. Dressed up, put on makeup, and ran away...

However, before leaving the Basilica of St. John Lateran, Paul, using his trustworthy role as a steward of Alexander VI, ran to the stables behind the cathedral and arranged for the three mules that were kept in the stables to be sent out. Packed...

Sure enough, after being given laxatives, Pope Alexander VI pulled it several times, and the 72-year-old aging body suddenly became empty.

Then, the quack doctor of the Holy See gave the Pope a piece of crow as an antidiarrheal medicine. Sure enough, at night, the diarrhea stopped (a small amount of a piece of crow was used to treat diarrhea, and in Europe in the Middle Ages, a piece of crow was used as a magic medicine. European doctors at that time treated people, not bloodletting, is to prescribe a crow for the patient).

However, at this time, His Majesty the Pope, who was already weakened by diarrhea, had three kinds of poisons in his body at the same time - the poison of laxatives, the poison of a crow, and the most terrifying Cantrella...

The next day, Alexander VI did not have the strength to get up and could only lie in bed to recuperate. But in the afternoon, His Majesty the Pope suddenly began to have severe abdominal pain, and the pain caused him to roll on the bed.

Then, the Pope's close entourage discovered in horror that Alexander VI slowly had difficulty swallowing, his face turned the color of mulberries, the skin around his body began to fall off, the fat on his stomach turned into water, and his intestines gushed out... …

"Cantrera!" screamed the Borgia family among the Pope's cronies. As members of the Borgia family, they didn't understand that the Pope was caught in the family's legendary poison "Cantrella".

"Quick, bring a mule!"

However, the servants of the Borgia family were horrified to find that not a single mule could be found in the stables behind the Basilica of St. When I asked the reason, it turned out that Paul, the steward trusted by the Pope yesterday, was sent out of the city to pick up the goods...

The people of the Borgia family didn't understand at this time, that Paul was a spy!

However, at this time, it didn't matter whether Paul was a spy or not. The important thing is, hurry up and save the Pope...

So, the men left the Cathedral of St. John in Lateran and went out to find mules...

However, upon inquiring, these people were a little dumbfounded. It turned out that two months ago, a chamber of commerce from France (not the chamber of commerce near the north gate) suddenly came to Rome. This chamber of commerce has a quirk - likes to acquire mules.

Unconsciously, the mules near the Cathedral of St. John Lateran were bought by this foreign chamber of commerce. This made the servants of the Borgia family unable to find a mule for a while.

In the evening, when a servant finally led a mule back to the Cathedral of St. John in Lateran, the hapless Pope Alexander VI had died...

The body had already collapsed, and the "Cantrella" was extremely poisonous. The old and frail Pope Alexander VI, after an afternoon of painful mourning, finally couldn't hold it anymore and died tragically... …

On almost the same afternoon, Caesar Borgia, who was having an affair with his own sister Lucrezia Borgia in a hidden villa in the countryside on the east side of Rome, also began to feel severe abdominal pain, and his face became violent. turn into mulberry...

"Cantrera!" Caesar Borgia and Lucrezia Borgia exclaimed together. As the core members of the Borgia family, they obviously won't admit it wrong. Moreover, Caesar Borgia has seen the reaction of the poisoned person many times.

In this country house belonging to Lucrezia Borgia, there happened to be mules. So Lucrezia hurriedly greeted the guards, brought the mule, and brutally cut open the mule's belly. Then, a group of guards went up and held down the mule, which was screaming and struggling...

And Caesar Borgia's guards hurriedly stuffed Caesar Borgia into the belly of the mule...

Caesar Borgia was only 27 years old, when he was young and strong. In addition, he happened not to be in the Basilica of St. John Lateran yesterday, and he did not give Paul a chance to give him laxatives. Moreover, because it was stuffed into the belly of the mule in time, this little devil actually survived.

It's just that "Cantrella" was extremely poisonous. Although Caesar Borgia survived, his body was seriously injured. All his hair fell out due to the poison, and his originally handsome face was also changed due to the poison. got twisted. It can be said that Caesar Borgia, now looks like a ghost...

Moreover, although he survived by luck, Caesar Borgia was temporarily unable to move. He had to recuperate in the country house for a month before he could move around...
