Yin'er waited and waited in the thatched shed, but Rongqing was nowhere to be seen, and she was anxious when she heard Guangxu's anxious cry in the backyard through the earthen wall, and she knew something was going on.Because she had agreed with the emperor in advance that he would call her by her name whenever there was any situation on his side. Guangxu lay in front of the window and yelled for a while, and said to Li Lianying that Yin'er was still there just now, so he might have gone out to do some business.When he said to do things, he meant things like defecation and urination by court ladies.This place is no different than in a palace, in a deserted village, there is no fixed place for such things, the grove behind the mosque is naturally a convenient place for eunuchs and maids of honor.

Yin'er secretly climbed over the earthen wall and sneaked back to Guangxu's house.As soon as she entered the door, she told the emperor in a low voice that Rong Qing had gone somewhere and she hadn't seen him come back after waiting for a long time.Guangxu was worried that something would happen, because Li Lianying came just now and told her to go to Cixi's residence immediately, saying that Lafayette passed on Yin'er. Don't be afraid, calm down first, and look at the situation over there, Guangxu told her. Yin'er nodded, left the back room, and walked to the front yard.

Cixi was sitting on a dilapidated square stool, which was probably the oldest, worst and most unsightly stool she had encountered in her life. She was lowering her head, counting the prayer beads in her hand.Seeing Yin'er walking in, she asked her where she had been early in the morning, and Yin'er said that she had gone to the woods to run some errands. Lafayette called the servants to come to do something?Yin'er asked cautiously. I'll let you meet someone.Cixi looked at Yin'er mysteriously. who?Yin'er was secretly startled, worried that Rongqing would be caught by them, and their affairs would be exposed?

Naturally know when you see it.Cixi glanced at Li Lianying as she spoke. Li Lianying understood immediately, walked out of the south room, and brought Rong Qing in after a while.Yin'er panicked when she saw Rong Qing, she had already completely forgotten about him impersonating her brother, and quickly said that she didn't know him.Cixi asked her to take a closer look.The vigilant Rong Qing hurriedly knelt down to greet Cixi, and took the opportunity to remind Yin'er. The servant Fugui kowtows to the Lafayette!It turned out that Rong Qing stayed in the thatched shed waiting for Yin'er's signal, looking forward to meeting the emperor, but Li Lianying suddenly found him.Li Lianying didn't find him in the hut where he lived, went into the backyard, saw Rong Qing standing by the thatched shed, thought he was urinating there, and hurriedly dragged him back, saying that Lafayette sent him to meet his sister.Rong Qing thought that if he went to Cixi's place with Li Lianying, the other party doubted it, and Yin'er would give him a code through the wall later, so that Li Lianying would find out, it would be more troublesome, so he had to follow him here honestly.

elder brother!How did you come?Sure enough, when he yelled, Yin'er immediately came back to his senses, showing a very surprised look. He is your brother, why didn't you recognize him just now?Cixi asked. The servant girl panicked for a moment, unable to believe it was true. How many brothers do you have?Cixi asked Yin'er calmly. Just him. That will punish you! When Yin'er heard that Cixi said that she would be punished, she thought that the other party suspected Rong Qing's identity, her legs softened, and she knelt down unconsciously.Unexpectedly, Ci Xi didn't doubt Rong Qing, but complained to Yin'er, saying that Yin'er shouldn't have called his brother useless in front of her.

You always say that your brother is lazy and greedy, which makes your mother angry.I think he is very promising. That's Lafayette praising him.When Yin'er heard that Cixi did not doubt Rong Qing's identity, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Of course Rongqing knew about Fugui's situation, Yin'er was hired as an official in the palace because of his gambling debts, so when Cixi mentioned Fugui's virtues, he hurriedly put on a face of repenting, saying that he was really bad before. Your brother has made meritorious service this time, I want to make him an official and let him go on the road with us.Cixi said to Yin'er.

Lafayette!Yin'er was in a hurry, thinking that this matter would be discovered sooner or later, so she quickly said no, you don't know, he is not suitable for being an official, let him go home and be filial to my mother! Officials are made by humans, they are not born, Li Lianying interjected.In fact, he already had some doubts about the so-called Fugui, but he didn't dare to act rashly because he had done a great job in escorting him.But since yesterday, the more he looked along the way, the more he felt that he had seen him somewhere.With Li Lianying's identity, apart from the imperial court, he was also in the palace. Judging by his martial arts, he was probably a guard in the palace.If he was really Fugui, as a grassroots person, he would never show up in these two places.So I want to keep him. When King Rui comes, this matter will be easy to handle. King Rui is the president of the palace guards, but all the guards in the palace must not be able to hide from his eyes.

It doesn't matter if you are an official or not, as long as Lafayette lets the servant go with you, the servant will be grateful, and besides, I know the area well enough to know the way and handle things like a man.Rong Qing's words blocked Yin'er's mouth.Cixi was very happy when she heard it, and repeatedly praised Rongqing for being a good boy. good!I'm really short of people right now.I will reward you with a sixth-grade future first, and you can follow the guards to escort you all the way! Lafayette, I know my brother, he must smash the pot!Yin'er was angry in her heart, after talking to Cixi, she glared at Rong Qing dissatisfiedly, not knowing what was on his mind, he was anxious to take her away before, why is he determined to stay now?Cixi smiled disapprovingly, and told Yin'er not to worry, saying that when she got to Taiping, she would let her brother go home first to serve her mother.After Cixi finished speaking, she told them to go back and make preparations, saying that they would be on the road soon.

Are you making trouble?If you miss the bottom, we are all over.After leaving Cixi's west room, Yin'er immediately complained to him in a low voice. Isn't it because I haven't seen the emperor yet?It turned out that Rong Qing stayed here deliberately in order to meet Guangxu. With the identity given to him by Cixi, he can find a way to meet Guangxu, which is an excellent opportunity.Rong Qing analyzed that before Prince Rui came here, his identity would not be found out, so there would be no problem with his safety.He must use this time to see the emperor as soon as possible, and then immediately take Yin'er away from the brigade and escape, probably nothing will happen.He said what he thought, although Yin'er was a little worried, but thinking that he was the emperor's imperial bodyguard, not to mention that the emperor wanted to see him very much, so she reluctantly agreed.She thought to herself, this can be regarded as a slave's loyalty to his master.

Before the two of them broke up, they agreed on the secret signal as usual, and asked her to bring a message to the emperor, so that the emperor would be mentally prepared.In order not to make Cixi and Li Lianying suspicious, they decided to wait until the next point, and Yin'er arranged for Rongqing to meet the emperor. From early in the morning to dusk, the convoy finally arrived at the county seat of Changping County. Although this small county town is more than a hundred miles away from the capital, it has never received the favor of the emperor, so the county magistrate learned that the emperor and empress dowager had arrived, and hurriedly vacated the Yamen Mansion as the temporary residence of the emperor and empress dowager. the palace.There are nearly thirty rooms in the front and back yards of the Yamen Mansion, and there are not too many eunuchs accompanying them. In addition to the emperor's master, there are only more than thirty people in total. Compared with the mosque near the Saigon village, the living space is much more spacious.

As soon as they arrived at the place of residence, the first thing Guangxu and Cixi did was to accept local officials to kowtow and kneel down.Taking advantage of this spare time, Yin'er was busy tidying up the bedroom for Cixi and Guangxu. She made the bed with quilts and pillows brought by the government, hung up the mosquito net, wiped the washbasin and footbasin, and then stood by the suitcase. , sorting out a batch of clothes sent by the county government, and picked out the right ones for Cixi.Because of the hot weather, they left in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to bring a change of clothes. Yin'er was busy, Rong Qing walked in quietly and hugged her from behind. Don't make trouble!get out.Yin'er broke free from the other party's arms, and said with a straight face, since you intend to take me away from here, you and I have to be more careful. Me, I miss you so much.Rong Qing murmured. This is Lafayette's bedroom, how can you come in!Yin'er complained. You want to deceive me, this is the emperor's bedroom. The emperor's bedroom can't come either.It's hard to let someone hit you. I am not considered a hero of the Empress Dowager, what are you afraid of? I know this old lady best, and she is more suspicious than anyone else.As soon as she regained her strength, she turned her face and refused to recognize anyone.If you really want to take me out of here, get out of here as soon as possible, the more secure you are, the better. After thinking about it, Rong Qing felt that her words made sense, kissed her on the cheek, turned and walked out.As soon as he walked to the door, Xiao Hui came suddenly.He walked in while calling Sister Yin.It turned out that Director Li was afraid that Yin'er would be too busy to manage the Emperor and Lafayette by himself, so he specially asked Xiaohui to come back here as a helper.When Rong Qing saw Xiao Huihui, he turned his back in fright, not letting him see his face, he didn't expect Xiao Huihui to recognize him as Rong's bodyguard in front of the emperor. Brother Rong!What are you?Xiao Huihui had carried letters and passed messages for them, how could he not recognize Rong Qing.He was very surprised in his heart, he didn't know where the bodyguard Rong came from, and also felt that he was too courageous, for such a big thing happened, he had the courage to send it to the tiger's mouth. Seeing that Xiao Hui recognized Rong Qing, Yin'er turned pale with fright and was speechless for a long time.Xiao Hui turned around and closed the door, and said in a low voice: You two are a bit too courageous, aren't you?I said, Brother Rong, it's not your job to stop me.Let me tell you, you are committing the crime of beheading for molesting the court lady! Man, we didn't do anything, please let him out!While talking, Yin'er pulled Rong Qing to kneel down in front of Xiao Huihui. Xiao Hui has grown so big, he has never knelt in front of others, and has never seen anyone kneel down to him.Seeing Yin'er and the third-rank guard Rong Qing of Qianqingmen kneeling in front of him, he panicked for a moment, not knowing what to do. Don't tell me, it's all my fault.Yin'er saw that Xiao Hui didn't speak, so she begged him repeatedly. Blame me.Rong Qing, who was chasing here because of my begging, said sullenly, as long as you let go of Yin'er, I will accept the decapitation. You are still a man!Come on, for the sake of sister Yin'er, I just pretend I didn't see anything!In fact, Xiao Huihui had already thought about it, so he couldn't say anything about it.Because catching traitors requires both hands, Rongqing was arrested, and Yin'er went in with him. He always regarded Yin'er as his sister, so he couldn't just push her into the fire pit. When Yin'er heard Xiaohui replied that he didn't care about this matter, now Gratefully call him a good brother. Hurry up and leave quickly!Xiao Huihui urged Rong Qing, while telling him that Prince Rui came to escort him with the imperial army, and both the prince and his subordinates know you! After Xiao Hui finished speaking, he ran away in a gust of wind.As soon as Xiao Hui left, Rong Qing immediately became nervous, and discussed with Yin'er to leave here at night, and repeatedly told Yin'er that he would come here to pick her up at night.Yin'er nodded in a panic, urging him to leave quickly.Rong Qing reluctantly walked out the door.As soon as he walked to the door, Guangxu suddenly walked in excitedly, and the two bumped into each other. emperor!Rong Qing was stunned, and hurriedly knelt down. Rong Aiqing, get up, get up!Guangxu excitedly pulled Rong Qing up with both hands. Guangxu asked Yin'er to close the door, and talked with Rong Qing about the situation after the breakup.Rong Qing reported to Guangxu one by one that he escaped from the palace in the early morning and went to the countryside of Baoding, how Cha Shuizhang found him, they went to the south together to find Zhang Zhidong, how he went to Shanghai after the incident, and so on.Guangxu listened to him tell these experiences, pondered for a long time, and then took the green jade finger ring from his hand, saying that it was a congratulatory gift from him to him and Yin'er.Rong Qing backed down for a while, but couldn't resist the emperor's kindness, he and Yin'er both knelt down and kowtowed to Guangxu. I am happy for you, forget it, but I have a wish!Guangxu looked at the couple in front of him, and said with great emotion that he couldn't help but think of Concubine Zhenai who stayed in Beijing.However, King Rui has arrived.He knows you.If you escape the first day of junior high school, you can't escape the fifteenth day.You'd better take Yin'er along while it's getting dark now! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness.Yin'er and Rong Qing said at the same time. In order not to make the target too large and arouse suspicion.They discussed for a while and decided to split up.Rong Qing left first, followed by Yin'er. The two met in front of the Earth Temple in the back street of the county government office, and then fled here together.After Rong Qing left, Yin'er stood there and glanced at the emperor. Apart from being grateful, there was also an indescribable sympathy in her heart. As the king of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor could not fulfill his ambition of bringing peace and stability to the country, and even his beloved concubine Zhen could not. Protection, in the end let Cixi be killed, in fact, the inner pain is self-evident. emperor!Has Lord Rui brought any news about Master Zhen?Yin'er was determined to tell Guangxu the truth of what she saw before she left, and deliberately used King Rui's excuse to bring the topic to Master Zhen. correct!Almost forgot to tell you.King Rui brought good news.Guangxu said excitedly. What good news? Master Zhen, she is not dead!Guangxu told Yin'er excitedly: "King Rui brought information, and the foreigners robbed the three main halls, but they didn't enter the harem. Since the foreigners didn't enter the harem, Zhen'er didn't have to die for the country, isn't that the reason?"What a blessing in misfortune! Seeing Guangxu's heart full of joy, Yin'er really wanted to burst into tears.The naive emperor, until now he still believed in Cixi's words, and even thought that Master Zhen, who was pushed down the well long ago and died in Huangquan, was still alive and waiting for him in the capital.She opened her mouth wide, but she didn't have the courage to say what she wanted to say before.Seeing her standing there looking stupid, Guangxu said it was getting late and urged her to leave quickly. emperor!The servant is gone, as long as the servant has a sigh of relief in this life, he will never forget the great kindness of the emperor and Master Zhen!Yin'er knelt down again, reluctantly kowtowed to Guangxu.Before she finished speaking, her face was already full of tears. In order not to cry out, she clenched her teeth tightly and twitched uncontrollably. Yin'er hurriedly ran to the earth temple in the back street of the county yamen, and before she could stand still, she saw a figure walking towards her in the darkness. She thought it was Rong Qing, but when the man approached, she realized that it was Uncle Rong Qing Master Enhai.It turned out that Enhai, as the leader of the guards, came with King Rui to protect the Empress Dowager. Uncle!What are you doing here?Yin'er asked in surprise. Yin'er, why are you so confused?Enhai complained, you don't even think about it, even if you and Qing'er can run, what should you do next?He has already committed multiple crimes. If King Rui hadn't suppressed Wuchang's telegram for Xiao Gege, and let him pretend to be the emperor, his parents would definitely have their families hacked, and even I would fall into it.If he takes you away, isn't that another crime?At that time, even your family will be involved! Where is he?Yin'er was left speechless by Enhai's words, and asked about Rong Qing's whereabouts. he's gone. gone?Yin'er was dumbfounded. Didn't he say it would be good to wait for her here, and then take her to escape together? Why did he leave her alone and go away.Enhai told Yin'er that Rongqing bumped into King Rui on the street.King Rui immediately ordered him to be arrested, if he hadn't escaped quickly, he would have died long ago.Since he escaped from Wuchang that time, not to mention the trouble of King Rui, Xiao Gege's husband's wedding day, the incident of running away on the spot has become a laughing stock in the court, and King Rui hates him very much. He just left without saying anything?Yin'er was so anxious that she almost cried. He let you go back to work with peace of mind.In fact, he didn't see his nephew Rong Qing at all, but later his subordinates didn't catch up with him and reported the situation to him.The reason why Enhai said this was to make Yin'er die and work well in the palace.He felt that Little Gege had saved Rongqing time and time again, and that the emperor and empress dowager really gave him a marriage. In this situation, only Little Gege could save him, so he decided that the combination of Rong Qing and Xiao Gege was the best choice at the moment. No, no, he must have said something else. Yin'er didn't approve of running away with Rongqing at first, but was persuaded by him, and the emperor also agreed that they should leave here together, so she made up her mind to go with him .But at this moment, he suddenly left her and ran away alone, and she felt how lonely staying here alone. Seeing Yin'er's sad face, Enhai comforted her, asking her not to wait for Rongqing any longer, not to mention delaying her future, or she would lose her head if she made trouble.Yin'er stood there, she didn't listen to a word the other party said, she only thought about Rong Qing in her heart.She had a vague feeling that whenever she and Rong Qing were at critical moments, something would happen to them for some reason, either him or her.Seeing that the two of them are together, there is only a slight difference between them!Open your eyes, why do you always have trouble with me! Why are you back again?Guangxu asked in surprise. he's gone.Yin'er looked helpless. Didn't I agree to wait for you outside? King Rui recognized him and wanted to arrest him.He had no choice but to run away. King Rui naturally knew him.It was King Rui who recommended him to enter the palace. This is life. Do you believe in fate? The servants believe it, but the emperor doesn't? Can't tell.Believe it or not. Your Majesty, it seems that he and I will never die.Yin'er was very depressed when she thought about the experience between her and Rong Qing. Will not.Sooner or later we are going back to Beijing, and then I will help you beg the Empress Dowager to let you leave the palace earlier, so that you can be reunited.While comforting her, Guangxu talked about his dream of Concubine Zhen last night.Concubine Zhen said in her dream that everything was fine for her, and as expected today, she heard that foreigners invaded Beijing, but they did not enter the harem. Concubine Zhen was spared because of this, perhaps it was God's will. Master Zhen entrusted you with a dream?Yin'er was startled. It's time to fight!The dead person is called Tuomeng, Zhen'er is fine, and Guangxu corrects Yin'er. good?Yin'er repeated Guangxu's words in a trance, and the tragic scene of Master Zhen being pushed down the mouth of the well by urging Yugui seemed to appear in front of her eyes.Master Zhen fell into the well, the sound of the emperor, I will serve you again in the next life!This mournful wail rushed out from the mouth of the well and pierced deeply into her heart.She felt that she could no longer hide the truth from the emperor, otherwise she would be too sorry for Master Zhen. Yin'er, Zhen'er told me in a dream that she still lives in Beisan School, and she is waiting for me there.Looking forward to my return early, I said, who knows when I will be able to go back?She said that it's coming soon, don't look at memorizing words now, one day she will feel proud.Seeing that Yin'er was staring at him with distracted eyes, Guangxu quickly asked her if she heard him.Yin'er nodded quickly, trying not to let the tears flow out of her eyes. She's lost weight again, but she's in good spirits.Guangxu was indulging in the misty and illusory happiness caused by dreams, like chanting to children, more like whispering to herself: She said that she was used to living in the third house in the north, but it was cloudy and rainy, and the house was soaked in water. up The Beisan Institute has a high terrain, no matter how heavy the rain falls, it will not be flooded!This was obviously because Master Zhen was soaking in the well water, so she entrusted the dream to the emperor. Thinking of this, especially seeing the sincere smile on Guangxu's face, she couldn't bear the sadness in her heart anymore, and burst into tears. how are youWhat are you crying for?Should you be happy for me?Guangxu stood there at a loss, rubbing his hands. emperor!The slave girl, damn Yin'er, knelt down facing Guangxu with a plop, her forehead resting on the ground and refused to get up, her whole body was twitching violently, her tongue was twirling in her mouth, she was speechless for a long time. If you have anything to say, just say it, why are you crying?Guangxu was a little unhappy, and felt that she shouldn't spoil his interest. Poor Master Zhen, she has already ascended to heaven!Yin'er lay on the ground crying uncontrollably. shut up!You, you curse her? !Guangxu angrily drank her off. Damn slaves!You kill the servants.Yin'er's head hit the ground with a dull sound. you? !Guangxu clenched his fists angrily and raised his arms.Just as his unfinished words were stuck in his throat, the high-raised fist drew an arc in the air, and finally stopped suddenly, and the fist slammed hard on his chest, squeezing out a breath from his tight throat. A mournful cry. After Cixi and Guangxu's convoy entered the border of Shanxi, more and more people came to escort them from all walks of life, the team became bigger and bigger, and the road became slower and slower. Ever since Cixi heard from King Rui that the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, there was no news of entering the inner palace. On the one hand, the old empress rejoiced that those priceless national treasures were spared the fate of being looted, and at the same time, she made up a lie for herself that the concubine Zhen died for the country I feel worried, since the foreigner did not enter the palace, the theory that Concubine Zhen threw herself into a well to death is untenable, how will I explain to Guangxu in the future, and how will I explain to other concubines in the palace? At night, the old queen was lying on the bed, thinking about it, but she couldn't get rid of the heartache of Concubine Zhen.In the middle of the night, she had a nightmare. Seeing Concubine Zhen standing in front of her bed covered in water, she screamed in fright. He scolded Concubine Zhen and asked Concubine Zhen to go away.Concubine Zhen ignored her at all, she stood there silently with her wet long hair and half of her gray face showing, her eyes fixed on Cixi. Cixi yelled and woke up from the nightmare.She lay on the side of the bed gasping for breath, looked around in shock, and called Yin'er's name at the same time. I was so tired on the road these days, Yin'er leaned against the wall and fell asleep.She vaguely heard Lafayette calling her, hurriedly agreed, got up from the ground, and walked to Cixi's bedside. Lafayette!The servants are here. Jane!Cixi stared at her old eyes in horror, and stretched out her hand to push Yin'er away. Who did you see?When Yin'er heard that she was called Concubine Zhen, she turned her head in fright and followed her gaze towards the door, but found nothing, no one? Did you chase here?What do you want to do? Yin'er stood there not daring to go forward.She thought to herself, Lafayette must be sleepwalking, just like seeing Aunt Xiuzi while sleepwalking in Chuxiu Palace two years ago, judging from her tone, it must be dreaming of Master Zhen.Yin'er called Cixi softly, saying Lafayette, don't be afraid, I'm Yin'er. Don't don't come here.Cixi stretched out her arms to prevent Yin'er from approaching, and said nicely, I will definitely read the seventy-seven and forty-nine heavenly scriptures for you when I go back, and send you off well.It can't be all my fault, how did I know that the foreign soldiers didn't enter the inner palace! Li Lianying heard movement in Cixi's bedroom, and hurriedly led Xiaohui back.As soon as Li Lianying entered, she ran to the bed and asked what happened repeatedly.Seeing Li Lianying, Cixi seemed to have met a savior, grabbed his hands and pointed at Yin'er, saying who is she? The servant girl is Yin'er.Yin'er said hurriedly. No no, you are not.Cixi stared and shook her head again and again. Lafayette!You can't be wrong, she is Yin'er beside you, Li Lianying knew that Lafayette must be sleepwalking again, as she spoke, she took the cake lamp from Xiao Hui's hand and shone on Yin'er's face. After staring at Yin'er for a long time, Cixi suddenly smiled softly: "It's really Yin'er, I'm dreaming again." Cixi woke up before dawn today.After eating the snacks provided by the palace and drinking good tea, he asked someone to light a bag of cigarettes, and he blew on the long pipe himself.It was the first time she smoked this kind of hookah since she left Beijing.This kind of cigarette bag does not have the long pipe in the palace, so the maid can't hold it in her hand, she has to do it herself to smoke. She was smoking, thinking about the scene of dreaming about Concubine Zhen the night before, she felt a little regretful, it seemed that she shouldn't have handled it like this Concubine Zhen, if you put something in the food and let Concubine Zhen die in the cold palace, no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks.On the contrary, if people knew that Concubine Zhen was thrown into the well by her order, even if others didn't say anything, they would definitely scold her for being too vicious. The more Cixi thought about it, the more she felt that this move was not wise. There was a sound of chaotic footsteps not far away, with a woman's cry among them.As soon as she heard the cries, she knew it must be Queen Longyu.Her niece had rhinitis, and she was buzzing when she cried, and there was a resonance in her nasal cavity.She raised her head, and sure enough, she saw Long Yu leading the elder brother into the room. Royal father!You have to be the master of the child!When Longyu saw Cixi, he cried even more sadly. what happened again? Brother, tell Lafayette what you have seen!Longyu pushed the elder brother to Cixi. Why are you still there?Cixi glanced at this useless elder brother in disgust.Ever since his father, King Duan, advocated using the Boxers to fight against foreigners, which caused the Allied Forces of Eight Nations to invade Beijing, he felt unspeakably angry at King Duan, and his father transferred his anger to his son, so he hated Elder Brother even more and never treated him well. color.The elder brother was terribly afraid of Cixi, and he didn't dare to say anything while standing there. I didn't see anything clearly.The elder brother backed away while talking, trying to slip away. stop.When Cixi yelled, the elder brother was so frightened that he trembled all over and dared not move again. I don't ask what you saw, but what you said to the queen.Cixi told him not to be afraid, and at the same time changed the way of asking. He said he saw that Yin'er and Longyu couldn't hold their breath anymore. Didn't ask you, let him talk.Cixi glared at her inner niece, and Longyu was immediately too frightened to make a sound. In fact, the slave just casually said that the emperor and Miss Yin were crying together.Big Brother said hesitantly. Anything else?Cixi asked. Just cry.The elder brother touched the back of his head, thought for a while and then said, oh.Miss Yin also said that she was sorry for the emperor What did the emperor say? The emperor didn't speak. You listen, you listen!Let alone a fox, and a goblin pops out!Longyu didn't wait for Cixi to ask questions, and couldn't wait to shout. What kind of fox fairy, does it sound like what a queen said?Cixi lowered her face and stared at Longyu. Longyu didn't dare to say any more, but he cursed fiercely in his heart, that Yin'er is a goblin.No, Concubine Zhen is gone, the Emperor would rather be with her all day long than allow her and other concubines to enter his room. And you!Cixi pointed at the elder brother and cursed, "I can't do serious things, but I can listen to the bottom of the wall, spread gossip, and make a fuss about the takeaway, how can it be messy?"The Qing Dynasty is all caused by you! What's bothering me?Big brother muttered unconvinced. Your dad's first one is not a thing!He recruited the Boxers. The eldest elder brother dared to confront her face to face, which made Cixi furious. From this worthless son to his father Duan Wang, the more he scolded, the more angry he became.She cursed, but was still not relieved, and immediately ordered Li Lianying to pass on King Rui's draft decree, that King Duan should be dismissed first. .In order to use the Boxer Regiment, Prince Gong, Li Hongzhang and others had been at odds with Prince Duan for a long time, but he alone pulled a large number of people.So no matter internally or externally, King Duan must leave.In this way, she was still angry, pointing at her elder brother, saying that his elder brother would also be spared.Big Brother didn't expect him to wipe it all over, and immediately opened his mouth and cried. Cixi asked someone to pull the elder brother out.Li Lianying quickly coaxed the elder brother and took him away.At this time, Empress Longyu saw that the momentum was not good, so she turned around and wanted to slip away. Your case is over?Cixi asked Longyu with a straight face. The son will not sue.Longyu lowered his head, afraid of being scolded again. Yin'er is a court lady, and your man is the emperor.The emperor favors the court ladies, that's on the spectrum.Cixi refused to let Longyu go, and taught him a lesson based on facts. Erchen was afraid that something would happen to them. Longyu said softly. It's fine if something goes wrong!A son is a prince, and a daughter is Gege.You have to be afraid, something will happen to you!I am waiting to eat Ximian!After Cixi finished speaking, she ignored Longyu again.Longyu couldn't sit still anymore, the more he thought about it, the more shameless he became, and he left while crying. Li Lianying sent Longyu out of the house while comforting her with kind words.After seeing off Longyu and returning to the upper room, seeing that Cixi was still angry, she hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her and said: Lafayette suppresses the fire.The queen's master said that she is your own niece, and she can't stand your angry words. Who said I was angry?Cixi said calmly, I really think so. You said Yin'er?Li Lianying was startled, and once again learned her ability to think suddenly. I think it's quite appropriate, let her take the pit of Concubine Zhen.Cixi nodded.Li Lianying gasped.He probably never dreamed that Cixi's idea had some kind of internal connection with her dream of Concubine Zhen the day before yesterday.Cixi knew that Guangxu looked down on the empress and other concubines except Concubine Zhen, so she had to find another way to have a grandson early.The reason why she thought of Yin'er was because she was the concubine Zhen's maid during her lifetime, and Yin'er taking her place would not only be possible to hold her grandson, but also be a kind of consolation and atonement for Concubine Zhen on Huangquan Road. If he didn't run fast, Rong Qing's life would be over.That night, he was waiting for Yin'er in front of the Earth Temple, planning to take her away with him, but he was discovered by the guards under King Rui.These people rushed forward, shouting to catch the assassin.He retreated while fighting, and fled outside the county seat.The guards pursued him closely, and he finally got rid of the pursuers and fled outside the city, only to realize that he had been wounded by a knife on his leg.He hid in the grove, thinking that this game was over, if Enhai didn't let his men continue to chase, he might not be able to escape the pursuers. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, Rong Qing tore off a strip of cloth from his underwear, bandaged the wound on his leg, and went all the way back to Beijing.He came to the gate of his house in a big way.He knocked on the door and walked in exhaustedly dragging one injured leg, feeling strange in his heart, the door opened but no one was there, suddenly someone flashed out from behind the door, hugged his waist, and yelled: Got it! It's you?Rong Qing instinctively broke free from the opponent's grasp, and found out that it was Xiao Gege. I killed you, I killed you, I ate you. Little Gege jumped into his arms, crying, laughing and screaming, shaking his fists, beating his chest and shoulders desperately. When they rushed to the door, the two old men were both surprised and happy when they saw their son came back. why are you hereRong Qing grabbed Xiao Gege's wrist, feeling indescribably surprised. Little Gege has been waiting for you for several days.Rong's mother told her son about Xiao Gege's situation.She was certain that you would not be able to catch up with Sheng Jia, and said that you would be back in a few days, but she guessed right. What kind of thing is this?Rong Qing felt that it was inappropriate to keep Xiao Gege in his family. If Yin'er's family knew about it, there would definitely be a misunderstanding. Love counts as you like.Anyway, I'm staying here and not leaving!Little Gege pouted and stood there writhing in anger. Prince Rui's mansion was set on fire by foreigners, and her three older brothers, as well as her silly seventh brother, were all burned to ashes, and she was the only one left.Rong's mother pulled her son aside and whispered what happened to Little Gege's family. That, that can't be left in our house.Rong Qing sympathized with Xiao Gege, but he was really afraid that she would pester him to death.When meeting Yin'er this time, about his engagement with Xiao GeGe, she was still dubious and displeased when he broke his mouth. You have no conscience!Little Gege pointed at Rong Qing and shouted, my mother's family is empty, if I don't vote for my husband's family, where do you want me to vote? Ge Ge said that I have paid homage to you, or was it a marriage bestowed by Lafayette?Mother Rong asked her son. You ask him, do you admit it or not?Little Gege stood there with his hands on his hips, puffed up. Mom, there's no way, it's a temporary solution OK!When you cross the river, the bridge will be demolished.I fed my mental arithmetic to the dog!Little Gege was anxious and angry, with an indescribable grievance in his heart.He refused to marry again and again, and ran away from Wuchang without a trace on the day of his wedding, leaving a laughing stock for his relatives and friends and almost hurting his father.The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt, and she felt that she was too lowly, so many well-matched and good people looked down on her, but she broke her heart for this heartless man in front of her, but he didn't appreciate it at all.She was crying and wiping her tears. I have grown up so much, and I have never begged anyone with my hands down.Tell me, do you want me to stay? Rong Qing lowered his head, avoiding Little Gege's eyes, biting his gums to keep silent.Little Gege was not only kind to him, but also saved his life. If it wasn't for her, his head would have moved a long time ago.He originally wanted to say to keep her, but when he thought of Yin'er in his heart, he couldn't say the word to keep her. Come on, I'm going!Seeing that the other party was silent, little Gege felt unspeakably sad, and stomped his feet to open the door and leave.After thinking about it, I turned around unwillingly, the foreign soldiers were arresting me, I would die if I went out, please remember! Rong's mother held Xiao Gege and refused to let her go.She glared at her son, feeling that he was fascinated by ghosts.Little Gege is the princess of the Shangfu, so she can't compare to Yin'er in any way.Father Rong Qing stepped forward and said to Little Ge Ge, I am the master, Ge Ge you stay.Little Gege stared at Rong Qing and insisted that he make a statement: What you say doesn't count.Rong Qing thought of the chaos outside, and Xiao GeGe would be in danger if he went out, so he nodded helplessly, saying that you can stay if you want.As soon as he finished speaking, Little Gege broke into laughter immediately, threw himself on Rong Qing and hugged him, yelling incessantly: Brother Qing! After Rong Qing ate a full meal, Little Gege changed the medicine for the wound on his leg, and let him lie down on the small bamboo bed in the study to take a good nap.He was really tired these days, and when he woke up, the sun was already westward.He opened his eyes and was about to get up when he found Little Grid sitting beside him, staring straight at him. You've slept long enough!Little Gege put down the banana fan in his hand and said.When he was sleeping, this little Gege, who was used to being served by others, was fanning him all the time. Rong Qing looked at the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, feeling indescribably grateful.He really didn't understand why Little Gege was so nice to him, so nice that he didn't know what to do, if Yin'er hadn't held his heart, he would definitely have gotten along with her.Now he has Yin'er in his heart, no matter how good he is, there will be no result.He suddenly came up with an idea, simply recognized Xiao Gege as his younger sister, otherwise she would never give up. Ge Ge, I will take a long trip in a few days. Wherever you go, I will follow you, and you still want to get rid of me, there is no way! I'm a fugitive, can't I stay here all the time? Me too, my house was burned by foreigners. I have a daughter-in-law. I don't mind. Ge Ge, you are my benefactor, and I know all your heart for me. I feel sorry for you in many ways, so let me treat you as my own sister. I am wrong.Little Ge refused. you listen to me.You can live here as long as you like, I'll let you do everything, except for that one thing, okay?Rong Qing bit the bullet and said. I don't want anything but that one.Little Grid yelled. Rong Qing smiled helplessly, so he had no choice but to ask them to talk about something else, and she didn't want to hear anything from Xiao Gege.He is a stubborn person, and he didn't expect to meet Xiao Gege who is more stubborn than him.He was silent for a while, talking about Little Gege's father, King Rui, who caught up with the emperor and queen, and led a large team of troops to protect him.Hearing that his father led soldiers to escort him, little Gege was furious, saying that he left her and Brother Silly Seven alone, and ran to Lafayette to try to please Lafayette.母所生的七哥都燒死了,眼面前就剩下她一個人,不覺又流淚了。 Brother Qing!這會兒我可什麼也沒了。抓住你我不能撒了手,你千萬不許扔下我啊!她動情地說。 我沒說扔下你。他憐憫地看她一眼。 要是敢扔了我,我立馬就死在你面前。她邊說邊從懷裡取出一隻小小的白瓷瓶,瓶口密封了一層白蠟,我隨身帶著吶! what is that?他本能地覺得不對頭,慌忙追問。 最毒最毒的鶴頂紅,沾上嘴唇就沒命。她逃出家時特意帶上這瓶毒藥,以防她被洋人抓到,唯有一死了之。 別瞎鬧,給我!他一聽便慌了神。這種毒藥只有皇家才有,專用來賜死臣下的近支王爺的,毒中之極品。他知道她說得出做得出,伸手要搶。 I don't!小格格閃身躲過,將裝有毒藥的小瓶子塞進懷裡,神情肅然地盯著榮慶,什麼時候你甩了我,我就喝下去!你就等著打人命官司吧。 晚上,葉赫將軍特意將兒子叫到自己書房,跟他說起小格格和吟兒的事。 一個馬安兩個腦袋,你到底怎麼打算的?葉赫將軍問榮慶,首先點出這個話題。 當然是等吟兒了。榮慶不思索地說。 那小格格怎麼辦?榮母追問。 是啊,瑞王爺也不好惹呀!榮父沉吟著。 其實小格格對你可真叫死心塌地啊!你不在的時候,她成天眼巴巴盼著你回來,要不是親眼見了,真不敢相信,一個王爺家的格格,怎麼就對你這麼癡情呢,怕是前世的緣份榮母想勸兒子索性跟小格格正式成親,這也是她這些天和丈夫商量的結果。憑著小格格的身分和門第,娶了她,榮慶的前程自然不用說了,更重要的是慶兒只有跟小格格成親,才能通過瑞王赦了他犯下的大罪,要不他這帶著一身罪名洗不掉,遲早要被朝廷抓進大牢的。 凡事兒得講信義。吟兒在先,再說她在宮中苦苦守了好幾年。榮慶顯然聽出母親的意思,但他不願放棄與吟兒結合的機會:媽,咱可不能嫌貧愛富,扔下吟兒不管啊。 誰說我嫌貧愛富了?我是怕你在外面傻等,吟兒那頭再出了什麼毛病,那可就兩耽誤了。榮母嘴上不肯承認嫌貧愛富,可心裡實在鬧不明白兒子究竟怎麼想的。眼前的小格格,要長相有長相,要身分有身分,對他又這麼好,要擱在其他人身上,想攀這高枝還攀不上,偏偏兒子為了個平常人家的姑娘,竟然瞧不上王爺家的格格,你說這叫怎麼回事呢? 慶兒,依我看,你媽說得不錯。聖母皇太后替你們賜了婚,武昌北京都鬧得人人皆知,你要是不肯娶小格格,駁了瑞王爺面子不說,皇太后的面子往哪兒擱? 我跟吟兒也是皇上親口指的婚啊!不信你們瞧,皇上還特意賞了我們一隻扳指。榮慶將手上的綠玉扳指取下來給父母看。 這扳指可是祖母綠寶石,比咱家整座房子還值錢啊!榮母驚歎不已。 榮母仔細端詳著扳指,心想皇上家的寶貝就是跟百姓家的大不一樣。榮父看了沒吭聲,心想皇上皇太后不和,現在是太后當家,就算兩人都賜了婚,那也該聽皇太后的,以太后的話為準。這一家三口子,為了榮慶與小格格以及吟兒之間的事商議了半天,誰也說服不了誰。父母一心想勸兒子與小格格完婚,兒子則一心惦著吟兒。
