The French envoy to Sardinia, Victor, following the order of Jerome Bonaparte, sent a telegram to the Vienna Embassy several hundred kilometers away.
Half an hour later, the embassy in Vienna received the telegram and immediately passed its content to the French Envoy to the Austrian Empire.
The Austrian Ambassador, upon seeing the telegram, showed a grave expression and asked the military attendant beside him, "Quick! Prepare a carriage for me!"
"Yes!" Upon hearing the order, the military attendant quickly took action and soon prepared a carriage for the Austrian Ambassador.
The Austrian Ambassador then left the embassy and set off in the carriage prepared by the military attendant.
"Your Excellency, where are you heading?" The coach driver asked the Austrian Ambassador for his destination.
"Mei Quan Palace!" The Austrian Ambassador responded flatly to the driver.
The driver replied hurriedly, "Alright! Hold on tight!"
