Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty-Eight

When Cixi learned that Yin'er was pregnant, the old empress was very excited.She thought that because the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty were virtuous, Guangxu finally had a son. In other words, she could finally have a grandson.She had just abolished her elder brother not long ago, and this news was undoubtedly exciting for her. In the middle of the day, Longyu led his elder brother to Cixi to file a complaint, saying that Guangxu and Yin'er were flirting with each other. After Cixi drove them away, the old queen deliberately asked Yin'er to stop working on her side and serve Guangxu wholeheartedly. .She knew that Guangxu didn't like Longyu and Concubine Jin in the first place, and he was not in the mood when Concubine Zhen died, so she arranged Yin'er to follow him in the hope that one day, Yin'er could give birth to a child for the emperor. A son would be better.

In this life, she only gave birth to one son, Emperor Tongzhi.Tongzhi didn't have time to leave the dragon species behind, so he left at a young age.She carried Guangxu, who was born to the Xianfeng brothers and her own sister, into the palace since childhood, and let him inherit the throne of Tongzhi.It can be said that, apart from political differences, she has always regarded Guangxu as her own son.Therefore, once Guangxu has a son, it means that Tongzhi has a son, which is of extraordinary significance.As for Duan Wangsheng's elder brother, there is no other way.Now the eldest elder brother and his father, King Duan, are abolished together, and then this good news came, and Cixi's inner joy was sincere.She thinks it's God's will!

In fact, on the way to Xi'an, Yin'er had already started to fall ill, she gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, no one thought about it.In addition, there was no imperial doctor around at that time, and there was no place to look at him when he was sick.When they arrived in Xi'an, after the two palaces Luan drove to the palace, Yin'er felt that she couldn't take it anymore, so the imperial doctor who came from Beijing felt her pulse.This time, the imperial physician found out that she was pregnant, so he dared not neglect, and immediately asked imperial physician Li to diagnose Yin'er again.

You said Yin'er is a happy pulse?After hearing what Li Taiyi said about Yin'er's situation, Cixi suppressed her inner excitement and asked calmly. The minister dare not say death.Doctor Li is the best doctor in the imperial hospital, but because the matter is too big, he left a little alive. I say be the master!Li Lianying knew very well that Cixi attached great importance to this matter, so she reminded Imperial Physician Li that you are the first one in the imperial hospital, if you have no idea, where else can I go to invite an expert? Lafayette forgives the sin.Doctor Li understood the meaning of Li Lianying's words, and said respectfully that the duty of the imperial hospital was to serve the palace.But Miss Yin's disease, no one in the palace has had it for almost forty years.In order to be cautious, it is best to ask a gynecologist to diagnose her pulse, and it will be sure.

This old cunning man talked for a long time, and then went back and forth. It was as if he hadn't said what he said before. Cixi glanced at Li Taiyi, and he understood more than half of it in his heart, so he didn't ask any more questions. In the afternoon, Cixi hurriedly sent someone from Xi'an city to invite A well-known gynecologist came, and the doctor took Yin'er's pulse, and the diagnosis was exactly the same as that of Doctor Li. Yin'er was indeed happy. Yin'er, you've done me a favor!After the doctor left, Cixi excitedly walked back and forth in the room, muttering in a low voice: Why didn't you hear her say this, silly child?

How does she know this?We in the palace have never heard of this since Lafayette became Lord Tongzhi.What Li Lianying said was the truth, and at the same time, she lost no time in praising Cixi. Cixi was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, she repeatedly told him to prepare incense candles for her quickly, and she wanted to burn incense to the Bodhisattva.Li Lianying agreed, and immediately ordered the eunuchs to go to the temporary Buddhist hall of the palace to prepare incense.Cixi asked him to invite Guangxu to kowtow to his ancestors together. Li Lianying helped Cixi to the Buddhist hall, where the eunuch and the host of the Buddhist hall were already waiting there.After a while, Guangxu also came.

As soon as Guangxu entered the door, he saw incense and candles burning brightly in front of the shrine. He didn't know what it meant. Why did Cixi summon him in the Buddhist hall?For so many years, for various things, he did not know how many times he asked the emperor's father, and when he asked, or he put forward a different opinion, the emperor's father acted according to his wishes, even if he listened to him. into his opinion.No, never, at least as far as he could remember, never.Especially since the death of Concubine Zhen, he has made up his mind to say less or not to speak, no matter what, as long as it has something to do with Cixi, he will only listen and never ask.

You have a baby, you know that?Seeing that Guangxu didn't speak, Cixi grinned and told the other party. child?what childGuangxu was taken aback.When Cixi told him with a smile that the woman next to him was pregnant, he realized something was wrong.Where did my child come from?Along the way, including his residence in Xi'an, he has never summoned any concubines, nor touched any women! Don't you know what you are doing?Cixi smiled, thinking that he was still pretending to be serious. In the past two years, my son has never summoned the queen and other concubines, Guangxu said swearingly.

I didn't say that the Queen and the others, Yin'er was pregnant. Yiner!Guangxu was startled, knowing that the situation was serious.The child she was carrying must belong to Rong Qing, and no one else knew about it except him and Yin'er.If he wants to tell the inside story, Yin'er must be finished; if he doesn't say it, and he doesn't say it, and people like Cixi will force this child to fill his vacancy in the future, wouldn't the throne of the Aixinjueluo family be handed over to others? the world? Look at you, a father, still in a daze.Cixi glanced at him.Li Lianying also booed, saying that the servant congratulated the Long Live Lord.Guangxu was stunned for a moment, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to do.

Get down on your knees soon.Cixi pointed to the ancestral tablet and said to Guangxu. There were two futon prayer mats placed on the ground in front of the shrine, and Guangxu knelt on one of them helplessly.Empress Dowager Cixi, supported by Li Lianying, knelt down on another prayer mat and led Guangxu to kowtow to the ancestral tablet, praying in a low voice: Ancestors and ancestors, all of you are holy.Thanks to your blessings, the painstaking efforts of the younger generation are finally not in vain, the emperor finally has a child.I pray to all the ancestors, bless this child to be cast as a male fetus, strong and strong, and bless the Qing Dynasty with a queen!

Guangxu knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his heart was filled with unreasonable mess, he didn't know how to deal with this sudden situation.But one thing he knew very well, he had to pretend to be confused.Keep Yin'er and the child in her belly first, and we have to wait for other matters to be discussed later. Yin'er leaned on the couch, looking at the withered yellow leaves outside the window, thinking of carrying Rongqing's evil seeds in her belly, she felt unspeakable fear and anxiety.A one-night stand turned into such an unmanageable situation. Others thought that she was pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood.Especially Lafayette, who was so happy from ear to ear.Not only did Yin'er live in a house with a single family, and she was paid monthly according to the nobleman's money and food, but he also specially sent a maid and eunuch Xiao Huihui to serve her by her side. It seemed that she was really pregnant with the dragon species of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. This matter can be hidden from others, but not from the emperor.Although she had been waiting by Guangxu's side on the westbound journey, he never thought of this, and she had to admire him for this.Not to mention that he is an emperor, even ordinary people, there are not many men like him. Since Master Zhen left his side, he has never touched any woman. After thinking about it, she felt that the emperor should not be blamed for this, not to mention whether the emperor was willing or not, but then again, if she told the truth, not only would she die, but Rong Qing's children would also die.She was in a dilemma, and it was not good to say, or not to say. In this helplessness, she often had a terrible thought, that is to kill the little life in her stomach.But thinking that this is the sin she and Rong Qing committed, the child is not guilty; and this may be her and Rong Qing's only child, because she really can't think of a chance for them to meet again.Thinking of this, she softened her hands.The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She stroked her gradually swollen belly, and couldn't help but shed helpless tears. To be honest, this incident was too unexpected for her, until Xiaohui came to tell her that day, she still Can't believe this is true. I remember that day after Doctor Li had treated her, Xiaohui ran to her place happily. At this time, the news of her pregnancy was spread all over the palace, but she was kept in the dark. Girl Yin is overjoyed!As soon as Xiao Hui came in, he said excitedly to her, no, no, in a few days, the slave will have to call you nobleman. What are you talking about? You still don't believe it.Do you know what disease you have? What disease?she asked inexplicably. Let me make an analogy with you like this, our Lafayette was not a Lafayette at first, but why did he become a Lafayette later? Because she is the mother of Emperor Tongzhi. What else do you not understand?Xiaohui grinned back.Hearing Xiao Huihui's analogy, Yin'er immediately understood what was going on, but she still couldn't believe that she would be pregnant with Rong Qing's flesh and bones. You are telling the truth?She froze there for a moment. Doctor Li understood Lafayette, so it's still fake. Lafayette also knows?She was dumbfounded. Lafayette seemed to be overjoyed. Only then did Yin'er realize that she had caused a catastrophe.Tongue circled in her mouth a few times, but she didn't say a word, but tears couldn't stop pouring out of her eyes.Xiao Huihui thought she was crying with joy, and said flatteringly: Look at your joy, tears are coming out.You have shown your face as our slave. Xiao Hui felt indescribably excited.He thought to himself, he and Miss Yin are old acquaintances, they have known each other since the first day she entered the palace.Since then, not only has he helped her, he has carried letters for her, and now he is serving her by her side.Once Yin'er gave birth to a son, not only would she ascend to the sky in one step, but he would also follow suit.When the little emperor ascended the throne, she was the empress dowager, and when she sat in this seat, Director Li's seat naturally became his. Sure enough, as Xiao Huihui said, the next day, Director Li came to see Yin'er in person, settled her in the North Courtyard where the nobleman lived, and changed all her clothes into nobleman's clothes.People have reached the sky in one step.But the fire can't be contained in the paper, sooner or later it will be revealed, Lafayette's methods are more ruthless than anyone else, waiting for her future is five horses, and the whole family will be cut! Serve the afternoon tea!Xiao Hui echoed a crisp choke, waking up the preoccupied Yin'er from his contemplation.She raised her eyes and saw two court ladies walking to her with trays in their hands.On the tray were lotus root powder soup, longan and red date soup, ginseng soup, fig juice and other soups. An eunuch stepped forward and asked Yin'er in a low voice what he wanted to drink. Seeing the servant who was the same as her before, suddenly serving her now, and claiming that she is the master over and over again, I can't express what it feels like.She waved her hand, said nothing, and asked them to withdraw.This time the eunuchs and maids were in a hurry, and Xiao Huihui, who was supervising at the side, hurried forward and knelt down.Xiao Hui knelt down, and the others followed suit. Stop making trouble, Xiaohuihui, get up quickly.Yin'er blushed and told them to rest. twitter!Xiao Hui replied solemnly, Master Yin can drink any kind of soup, otherwise the slave will not dare to get up. whatever.Yin'er said helplessly to Xiaohui.Xiao Huihui ordered a bowl of lotus seed soup for her, picked it up from the tray, and handed it to her with both hands. She took the soup and told Xiao Huihui to let the others go out. She wanted to talk to him alone. twitter.Xiao Hui replied, turned around and waved to the others. Little back!As soon as the others left, Yin'er said to him. Minions are here.Xiao Hui replied respectfully. Don't make such a fuss, let's keep talking like we did in the past, okay? That's not acceptable, where are the rules, Master Yin! I'm not the master Yin'er is angry and anxious. Who are you not?Xiao Hui smiled with him. I have something important to discuss with you! What is negotiation?You just make an order and order the servants to do it.Xiaohui said seriously. Where did you learn it from?Yin'er couldn't laugh or cry, feeling helpless in her heart. Back to the master's words, where is there any need to learn?The slave has been in the palace for five or six years, and when he sees the sky, he will be able to do whatever he wants.Xiao Huihui admits death for a reason, most people are not willing to listen to good words.She has become a noble person now, and he is her slave, so she would rather have rules with her and make her feel that you are a bit hypocritical, and you can't be as indifferent as in the past, taking her easy, and it will be too late for her to blame her Seeing that Yin'er didn't speak, Xiaohui knew that she couldn't adapt to the sudden change of identity for a while, so she seriously persuaded her that the master was the same.You have never been a master, haven't you met a master?Didn’t no one ask us to be the ones before?From the point of view of slaves, you want that or something more than those masters Are you done yet?Yin'er interrupted the other party, and an unknown fire welled up in her heart. Slaves be damned!Xiao Hui hurriedly slapped herself across the face, and asked her respectfully, what did the master say just now, did you have something important to tell the slave? The more serious Xiao Huihui was, the more helpless Yin'er became.She originally wanted to talk to him about something private about Rong Qing, but he had not only exchanged letters and words between them, but even bumped into her and Rong Qing together on the way out of the capital.In other words, he was the only person here who could speak on the subject.But he took himself seriously as his master, and this attitude suddenly opened up the distance between them.When he asked her very humbly what she wanted to tell him, she was no longer in the mood to talk to him about such things.She waved her hands and closed her eyes in pain. Seeing that the stomach is getting bigger day by day, and the imminent disaster is getting closer and closer, after much deliberation, I can only make up my mind to kill this evil seed of the stomach. The doctor said not to eat raw or cold food, but she ate it secretly.She was asked to rest in peace, but she jumped up and down.Locked in the room alone at night, she beat her belly desperately, trying to make the little life unable to stay inside.In short, she tried her best, but the evil species insisted on not coming down. One day, she asked the court lady to find the shuttlecock, and kicked it desperately in the yard by herself. According to Cixi's regulations, not only the imperial physician had to report Yin'er's physical condition to her every day, but Xiao Huihui also had to go to her on time to report Yin'er's daily life.In the afternoon, Xiaohui went back to Lafayette, and Lafayette told him to take good care of Yin'er's body, especially asking her to lie on the bed and rest in peace to ensure that the baby in her stomach would be fine. After Xiao Huihui left Cixi, he hurried back to the North Courtyard. He walked into the gate of the courtyard and saw Yin'er sweating profusely kicking the shuttlecock, while several court ladies were standing aside, happily watching the fun, and jumped up anxiously.He yelled at the court ladies watching the excitement, then ran to Yin'er, and circled around her. master!You stop kicking.I beg you, slave!Seeing Yin'er ignoring him, Xiao Hui hurriedly knelt down in front of her, Lafayette said, let you rest at ease no matter what. Yin'er didn't even look at Xiaohui and continued kicking the shuttlecock.She kicked more and more vigorously, and the shuttlecock kicked higher and higher, as if she could kick the evil seeds out of her stomach by kicking like this desperately.Xiao Huihui didn't have the guts to go forward and snatch her shuttlecock, but she didn't listen to her advice. If the fetal gas was moved according to the doctor's advice, and the dragon species in his stomach couldn't be kept, how could he explain to Lafayette? Master Yin!I beg you, slave!Xiao Huihui begged loudly, crying, Xiao Huihui is the head eunuch here, seeing him like this, the other court ladies rushed over and knelt down along with him and begged Yin'er. Yin'er was born as a court lady, and she couldn't bear to see them kneeling. She just wanted to stop her feet, but her feet slipped, and her body that lost her center of gravity immediately fell to the ground.She struggled to prop up her upper body from the ground, and there was a sharp pain in her abdomen, and she instinctively pressed her stomach tightly with both hands. Master, are you all right?Xiao Huihui was so frightened that his face paled, he hurriedly crawled from the ground to Yin'er's side, and asked in a babbling voice. Yin'er ignored him.After the unbearable pain passed, she let go of her hands pressing on her abdomen, waiting for that moment to come.She thought that the child would turn into a blood clot and flow out of her stomach. After waiting for a long time, nothing happened. She didn't understand, how could it be all right?The imperial physician repeatedly confessed that pregnant women are delicate, if they catch cold, eat inappropriate raw or cold food, do strenuous exercise or accidentally fall, the fetus will not be able to survive.She fell half to death, and the little thing in the womb was fine, she felt incredible. The story of her falling while kicking the shuttlecock spread to Cixi, and a decree made Yin'er no longer free.A large group of maids, imperial physicians and eunuchs took turns guarding her, not allowing her to go out, and could only walk back and forth in the room for a few steps.Yin'er's plan to abort the fetus is no longer possible.She still has the last trick left, which is to not eat or eat as little as possible, and starve to death this little life that shouldn't be born! In the afternoon, after taking a nap, Guangxu went to the upper room to greet Cixi.This is just a routine, there is really nothing to say.The death of Concubine Zhen made him understand a very simple yet profound truth, power is a bitch, language is a slut.Language, while selling one's own body, can embellish that shameful deed with a high-sounding appearance.Power caresses your wound with moving sincerity, and at the same time quietly sprinkles poison in your wine glass. He understood the true meaning of power before it was too late, and he understood the language game before it was too late.This is his weakness, at least he can not participate.He sat there sullenly. After the death of Concubine Zhen, he developed a skill, that is, he never spoke in front of Cixi, at least he didn't take the initiative to speak.He couldn't do it in the past, but when something happened, Cixi would always find a way to coax him or force him to speak with her clever tongue.Especially about court affairs, Cixi made up her mind, but she always let the words come out of his mouth.Now even though the emperor's father talks nonsense, he can still sit there without saying a word. The two sat for a while.What Cixi asked, what Guangxu answered, as simple as possible, both of them felt bored, Guangxu was about to get up and leave, Xiaohui suddenly ran in a panic, he reported to Cixi that Yin'er hadn't eaten for another day. Cixi panicked when she heard this, and asked the doctor what he said.Xiao Hui replied that the doctor couldn't do anything about it, saying that it was a bad mouth and it couldn't be cured. So what to do?If adults don't eat it, children can't stand it!Cixi was flustered. Guangxu has always had reservations about imperial physicians.When he heard the imperial physician say that Yin'er had barely eaten for half a month because of her poor mouth, she only drank water and tea, and she was getting thinner day by day, some doubts arose in his heart unexpectedly, and he felt that the imperial physician's diagnosis was nonsense. He never consulted an imperial physician, but he had read many medical books.He knew that a pregnant woman's mouth is usually about three months old, and Yin'er has been pregnant for five months, and she has passed the test of mouthing a long time ago.He was worried that Yin'er was not sick physically, but sick in heart.For the sake of Yin'er and Rongqing's child in her womb, he has always acquiesced to the mistakes made by Cixi and others. A few days ago, he had been thinking about a question, why Yin'er planted the child on his head.Of course the cause was Cixi, but why she acquiesced, he finally figured it out later, in order to keep the adults and children, Yin'er had to use his name.In this case, he also acquiesced, why did she not eat or drink, as if she deliberately didn't want this little life to be born?Apparently she was very contradictory. She wanted to keep the child, but she was also afraid of wronging him. That's why she didn't eat or drink, and wanted to kill the child alive. Guangxu asked Xiao Huihui carefully about Yin'er's condition, and suddenly felt that he should go to see Yin'er.After hesitating for a long time, he finally proposed to Cixi: "Father Emperor, I want a grace." Speak.Cixi glanced at Guangxu, and seemed a little surprised that he took the initiative to speak. Erchen wants to see Yin'er. Yes!Cixi stared at her son for a long time, then suddenly patted her forehead and said, "Look, look, how could I forget you, you are the child Ama!" The emperor's father agrees?Guangxu asked. It's a matter of reason and reason, I don't nod my head.Cixi smiled kindly, like a friendly old lady. With Empress Dowager Cixi's permission, Guangxu was immediately led by Xiaohui, took a soft sedan chair carried by two people, and arrived at the North Courtyard. Before Guangxu could enter, Xiaohui let go of his voice and called out.As soon as the emperor arrived, Yin'er immediately climbed out of bed with the support of the maids, and went to the living room outside to kowtow to Guangxu. Seeing that Yin'er's round face was as thin as a jujube stone, sallow and sallow, Guangxu felt a pity in his heart.He immediately asked the maid to help Yin'er up from the ground, and let her sit down on a mahogany chair opposite him.Xiao Huihui waited for the emperor and Yin'er to take their seats, then waved his sleeves to drive the other court ladies away. are you OK?Before coming, Guangxu had a lot to say, at least to persuade her to eat something, otherwise adults and children would not be able to bear it.I don't know why, but now we are facing each other, and I don't know what to say for a while.After thinking for a long time, I asked the most boring question. How is the servant, and how is the emperor?Yin'er was very surprised by Guangxu's arrival.Right now, perhaps what she wants to see most is Guangxu.Because only he knows the inside story of her pregnancy, and only he can save her.She wanted to ask the emperor to forgive her, not because she deliberately blamed him for this matter, but because Cixi and Li Lianying forcibly blamed the emperor.For the sake of Rong Qing's blood and bones, she dared not and could not tell Lafayette the truth about it.She was full of words, and it was difficult for her to speak to Xiao Huihui's face. Not bad.Guangxu said sullenly. The two talked for a while.They each have a lot to say to each other, but what they say is optional.Yin'er was anxious and wanted to send Xiao Hui away, but couldn't find a reason for a while.Just in time, Xiao Huihui took the tea tray from the palace maid to the emperor from outside the door, she caught sight of the celadon tea cup in the tray, and with an idea, she reached out and grabbed the tea cup with a bowl cover in front of Guangxu and threw it to the ground.Guangxu and Xiao Huihui were stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on. What, can it be used by the emperor!Yin'er lowered her face, pointed at Xiao Hui and asked. This is the best Biluochun, Lafayette specially rewarded you.Xiao Hui blinked his eyes and answered aggrievedly. I didn't say the tea was bad, the cup was wrong.Yin'er pointed to the broken blue-and-white teacup on the ground. She worked beside Lafayette for several years, and the more she worked, the more she went back.The rules in the palace, the emperor specially envoys bright yellow ones, casually, can the emperor entrust them? Slaves be damned!But we are not prepared here?Xiao Hui hurriedly explained. You don't know how to ask?Quickly go to the imperial dining room to borrow one, and say that the emperor will use it. Xiao Huihui immediately picked up the pieces of the teacup from the ground and hurried away.Only then did Guangxu understand Yin'er's intentions. She wanted to send Xiao Huihui away, and she talked to him. Kneeling down in front of Guangxu, he whispered: Your majesty, you have to save your slaves! Get up, and don't let them see you.Guangxu said nervously, it's not easy for me to come here, so if you have anything to say, just say it. A slave's child cannot be born.I think Yin'er got up from the ground, gritted her teeth and said that she was going to kill the child in her womb, and when the words came to her lips, she was afraid that the sky would be thundered, and she swallowed that word back. I know what you're thinking.Do you want to starve the fetus in your arms to death?Guangxu was startled.Although this was expected, he was still very shocked.It was precisely for this that he came to enlighten her. Since she opened her mouth, he had to persuade her no matter what. The servant girl thought of various ways, but no matter how hard she tried, he insisted on staying inside.I'm so out of ideas, I have to starve him to death You must not think from the short side.If that's the case, can you still live as a mother?He said a word to Yin'er's heart. I also thought about it, the servant girl really has no other choice!She couldn't hold back the tears. No no, you should give birth!Think about it, Rong Qing has been in love with you for many years, so close to each other, it is rare to see him, Chunfeng once had this child, this is a gift from God to you, you must give birth to it!Guangxu thought of himself and Concubine Zhen from Yin'er and Rong Qing, and felt an indescribable pain in his heart.The experience of pity for each other caused him to have infinite sympathy for Yin'er, and it seemed that helping her was equivalent to helping Concubine Zhen.He tried to persuade her, which was why he was here. But Lafayette thought the child was the emperor's Yin'er wiping the tears in his eye sockets. Just bless your mother and child safe. Your Majesty, you are confused, what if it is a kid? That would be great! How about that?Yin'er was not in a hurry when he saw Guangxu, but had a smile on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.If she really gave birth to a son, Lafayette would regard him as the crown prince and take over Guangxu's throne. This would not be the blood and flesh of Ye He's family taking over the name of Aixinjueluo's family. This would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.She wanted to point out this point, but she didn't dare to say it because she was afraid of making a taboo. What's wrong?Guangxu glanced at Yin'er and couldn't help laughing, don't worry, just listen to me.You just eat the food, you just give birth to the children, everything is up to you. Your majesty, servants don't understand Before Guangxu came here, he had been worried about Yin'er and the child in her womb. To be honest, he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.Just now when he went to the room to pay respects to Cixi, he saw that she was not as energetic as before, her words were lost, and she dozed off from time to time.After all, the invasion of Beijing by foreigners hit her too hard, and she became much older all of a sudden.She was already sixty-six years old, and she was only in her early thirties. It seemed that he could survive her no matter what.A while ago, she abolished her elder brother and left Wang Duan alone, and took the initiative to discuss the new policy with him, and even planned to announce the reform in Xi'an in her name before returning to Beijing.In short, judging from all this, she had to admit that her method was not working, so it was more and more likely that he would regain power.Facing this situation, he now tacitly agrees that Yin'er's child is his own. When he comes to power, no matter whether Yin'er is born a boy or a girl, there is an imperial decree for the child to recognize his ancestors and return to his family. Who would dare to say no? I told you, I have my own way, so thank you.Guangxu smiled confidently, and explained his idea of ​​regaining power one day.Yin'er didn't understand politics, and felt that the emperor said it would be fine, so she knelt down and kowtowed to Guangxu again. Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving the life of this servant! No, two.Guangxu corrected the other party. Yin'er glanced gratefully at Guangxu, who happened to be looking down at her too, their eyes met, and they both smiled understandingly. In the afternoon, Rong Qing stood by the screen window in the study, carefully playing with the green jade finger ring that Emperor Guangxu gave him and Yin'er, thinking about Yin'er in his heart.He heard that in a few days, the emperor and empress dowager will return to Beijing, and Yin'er is naturally among them. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw that unforgettable scene. In the darkness, he and Yin'er hugged and rolled around in the thatched shed. He pressed her tightly under him, feeling her obedience in struggle, Rebellion in giving.When he got up from the ground trembling with excitement, he found that Yin'er was crying.She lay on the ground, weeping silently.He put his arms around her and asked her what was going on.She insisted on not speaking, and cried even more fiercely, and the tears could not stop rolling out of her eye sockets.Until now he didn't understand why she was crying.He asked her, but she refused to tell.Because of happiness, or because she gave him all of life?He didn't know, but she cried that night anyway. What are you doing stupid?Little Gege suddenly appeared behind him, reached out and snatched the green jade wrench from his palm. Little princess!He is in a hurry. What baby, is it for me? no.he said sullenly. Who are you going to give it to?she asked jealously. This was rewarded by the emperor. He rewards you, you send me.It's just right! Pay me back!He reached out to grab it.She dodged flexibly, avoided him, and said to him in a mysterious tone: Listen to me, do you want Tmall to be a fugitive at home all day, or do you want to be reinstated? Seeing that Lafayette is going back to Beijing, can she spare me?he asked thoughtfully. Believe it or not, tell me, do you want the official to return to his original post and return to Daqingmen as an errand? Where did such a good thing come from?I do not believe. Come with me and meet a nobleman. who? You don't have to worry about it so much, just make sure you have good fruit to eat. Rong Qing got on the horse and followed Xiao Gege out of the city suspiciously. The two rode on the horse and walked all the way to Fahua Temple.At first, he didn't understand why he wanted to go to Fahua Temple.It was only later that I found out that in order to welcome Lafayette and the Emperor back to Beijing, Xiao Gege's father Rui Wang rushed back to the capital ahead of schedule to make preparations.Because the palace was set on fire by foreigners and razed to the ground, King Rui hurried back to Beijing from Xi'an, so he had to temporarily live in Fahua Temple.Little Gege took him there just to let him meet her father and beg him to exonerate Rong Qing from the crime. When he was approaching Fahua Temple, Rong Qing suddenly remembered that Yuan Shikai lived here.Late that night, he hid Guangxu's secret edict, and came up with Tan Sitong to meet the leader of the new army, but he didn't expect to be betrayed by him.Thinking of this shocking past, he suddenly refused to leave.Little Gege became anxious, saying that if he didn't go to see his father, he would have to be a fugitive for the rest of his life.When Rong Qing asked him to see King Rui, he was even more unwilling. He felt that his case was complicated and King Rui couldn't save him at all. Seeing that he refused to see his father, Little Gege told him the latest situation of the court. It turned out that under the pressure of Western countries, Cixi announced the reform in Xi'an before returning to Beijing.This not only meant that the Qing government recognized the necessity of the reform, but also encouraged the participants of the Reform Movement of 1898 three years ago.At least people like Rong Qing, including some former officials who supported the New Deal, will be treated with some kind of leniency. Rong Qing was not very interested in the Empress Dowager's edict to reform, but he was more concerned about the fate of Emperor Guangxu.Now that the court reformed according to the will of the emperor, and the elder brother was also abolished, why should the empress dowager continue to teach politics.If the empress dowager doesn't need to train the government, the emperor should be in charge of the government. This should be a common sense.For the past two years, the reason why he hid in Tibet and finally sneaked into Beijing was because he hoped that the emperor would come back to power one day.But right now, only King Rui can save him.Thinking of this, he finally bit the bullet and followed Little Gege to see King Rui. State affairs, family affairs, world affairs, nothing is satisfactory.King Rui was alone in the East Wing, flipping through Buddhist scriptures in his hands, but his heart was full of worldly troubles. Lafayette issued an edict in Xi'an, announcing reforms across the country. Although he had heard about it beforehand, after receiving the edict, he was still inexplicably terrified.No matter how many high-sounding words are added in front of the edict, it is actually tantamount to acknowledging that the series of new policies implemented by the emperor two years ago are correct.Duan Wang, who firmly opposed the emperor's reform, was wiped out because of the war with foreigners, and was exiled to Xinjiang. His son also lost his eldest brother's position and was kicked out of the palace by Cixi.Following this path, the emperor will return to power one day sooner or later.When the emperor stepped onto the stage, he was the first one to take the knife. When Lafayette wanted to kill Tan Sitong and the others, he executed it himself, and he will definitely be the one to blame for this. Not to mention the family affairs, the eldest son died in Tianjin, and then the palace was set on fire by foreigners.The silly son, his two elder brothers, and several daughters-in-law, including his side Fujin, were all killed in the fire. The original Hemeimei family broke up as soon as they said it. Amma?Little Gege suddenly slipped in from the door like a gust of wind. Where are you going again?King Rui put down the Buddhist scriptures and raised his head happily to ask.These days, what he wants most is to talk to his daughter.Probably because of the unfavorable things outside, subconsciously longing for the family affection at home, came back from the military aircraft office today, and wanted to find Xiao Gege to accompany me, but never thought that the eunuch of the palace said that she had gone out early in the morning. What's the matter?You can't be in the temple all day long!Little Gege pushes King Rui back with one word. If our palace is not burned down, can I live here?King Rui glanced at Little Gege, feeling unspeakably terrified, and we will go home when the new house is built.It's a pity that the whole family can't get together. Do you want to add people to import?Little Gege knew that her father was in a bad mood, so the four elder brothers left immediately, and the third elder brother was an official in Nanjing, so she was the only one left in Beijing.She watched her father suddenly grow many gray hairs on his temples, and wanted to discuss her marriage with Rong Qing with him.King Rui misunderstood, thinking that his daughter was persuading him to continue.When he went to court today, someone advised him to marry another family to fill the house.He smiled and said at the time that he was old, forget it.Unexpectedly, the youngest daughter, who rarely cared about others, would suddenly persuade him, and she couldn't help but feel warm, and told him what happened in the morning. Who told you to marry your concubine?You think about me.Little Gege didn't want to hear what kind of woman his father would marry again, so he blocked his father to death with one sentence. you?Are you planning to start a family?King Rui was a little surprised. Little Gege smiled and said that she already had a family.King Rui asked whose house it was, Xiao Gege smiled and said that the person was outside.She turned around and ran outside the door, wanting Rong Qing who was waiting outside the lobby to come in and intercede with her father.She went out to look and found that Rong Qing had disappeared. There was a cup of tea still steaming on the coffee table. She asked the eunuch where Rong Qing was, and the eunuch said he was gone. Rong Qing stood under a magnolia tree in a daze. It's not that Rong Qing doesn't want to see King Rui, it's that he really has no face to see him.Especially before Wuchang and Xiao Gege got married, they ran away secretly, causing a lot of trouble in the city, and now they come to beg him again, it is really hard to get rid of this embarrassment.He originally wanted to slip away quietly, but thinking of his punishment, after the emperor and empress dowager returned to Beijing, let alone wanting to see Yin'er in the palace, even he couldn't stay in Beijing any longer, so he was unwilling to leave like this. Little Gege ignored what he was thinking, and coaxed and mopped the floor to lead him into King Rui's study. Seeing his daughter leading Rong Qing into the room, King Rui's heart suddenly became angry, and immediately slapped the table and cursed loudly: You, you are a lifeless thing!And face me here?I just wiped out your crimes, and you went to Wuchang to pretend to be the emperor The man ran away, not his impersonation.Little Gege hurriedly defended him. Are you still protecting him?If I hadn't suppressed Zhang Zhidong's telegram, your family would have been copied and executed long ago!King Rui felt indescribably angry when he thought of what happened in Wuchang.Rong Qing pretended to be the emperor, not to mention it, but on the day of the wedding, he ignored the grace of Lafayette to marry him and ran away, which made him lose face in the court.他實在不明白，對這樣一個忘恩負義的東西，女兒竟然將他看成一個寶。 王爺息怒，榮慶該死 shut up!瑞王打斷對方，瞪著兩眼大叫，我再放你一馬。你離小格格遠點，別讓我再瞧見你！否則別怪我不客氣！ 明明是小格格硬把他拖來的，要不他根本不會來，至於小格格這門親事，他從來就不想高攀。榮慶本想解釋，見對方生了這麼大火氣，覺得再解釋也沒意思，雙手抱拳給瑞王行了個禮，轉身就要走，小格格一把拖住他說： dad!我可跟你說清楚，您要是不讓他進門，我也不進這門了。 你想嫁給他，沒門兒！ 誰說沒門兒？老佛爺答應的。小格格不甘示弱。 那是從前。武昌那事兒還沒出呢！ 你不說沒人知道， 反正你嫁誰都行，就他不行。瑞王語氣堅定。 除了他我誰也不嫁。小格格毫不示弱。 你不孝！瑞王氣得渾身哆嗦。 我倒是想孝順您呢，可您一傢伙跑到西安去了，我夠不著。你住在那邊行宮裡，風吹不著雨打不動，可我呢？我們家讓人放火燒了，我上天無路入地無門，要不是榮慶把我藏在家裡，我早就讓洋人殺了！小格格越說越激動，說到傷心處忍不住眼圈紅了。 這些日子你一直在他們家？瑞王一時愣在那兒，心裡有些疑惑。他回北京快半個月了，女兒從沒提起住在榮慶家的事，一直說她躲在鄉下。這會兒怎麼冒出這檔子事，那，那你為什麼不早說，到現在才告訴我？ 我說了你也不信，這會兒，當著榮慶面，你問問他是不是這回事？小格格一邊抹眼淚，一邊誇張地說，我們早就在一塊過日子呢，該有全有了，就剩沒坐花轎了 不不，我們一直分開住。榮慶慌忙解釋。 當著咱爹面，你就別掩著蓋著了。小格格瞪一眼榮慶，你還不快求王爺，替你洗了頭上的罪名！ 榮慶見小格格為了他和父親爭吵，甚至不惜騙瑞王，心裡說不出的感動，同時又有種說不出的無奈，小格格救他，這也不是頭一回了，他受了她的恩德，卻無法報答她。他想過，這世上的事，只要她開口，他都肯替她做，哪怕砍頭。可她要的是他本人，要嫁給他，跟他一塊過日子，偏偏這一條，他無法做到，哪怕嘴上答應了，那也是騙她的，他心裡早就讓吟兒裝得滿滿的，再也裝不進其他女人了。 頭一次，他為了吟兒的相片騙過小格格，在武昌又騙過一次，這會兒不能再騙她了。話又說回來，這會兒要是不騙她，他再也沒機會留在北京城。他從瑞王的憤怒中感到某種不祥的預兆，鬧不好瑞王一翻臉，他一條校狐就此玩完了。想到這兒，為了保住自己一條命，他只得再騙小格格一回。他橫下一條心，咬著牙向瑞王跪下，一邊在心裡說，小格格，這輩子沒法報答你，來世我一定替你當牛作馬。
