Dangerous City In The Last Days

On the morning of April 8, 1881, Beijing Zhongcui Palace!

The little palace lady Jingyi walked up and down in the yard, and finally gritted her teeth and opened the palace gate to try to rush outside.

Many guards outside the palace gate stopped him, and the eunuch Li Guizheng came up with a food box from a distance. Seeing this situation, he rushed forward and pulled Jingyi, who was caught by the guards, behind him.

"Jingyi! You mean maid, if you don't take good care of the queen mother in the palace, what are you going to do?"

Jingyi glanced at Li Gui awkwardly, and Li Gui hurriedly winked at Jingyi with his back to the guard.

Jingyi knelt down to the ground in desperation and said to Li Guishili:

"Grandpa Li, the queen mother is seriously ill, I want to see the royal doctor!"

"Presumptuous! How can the imperial doctor listen to your humble slave and maid’s call?" After a slight pause, Li Gui said again: "I am serving with the Queen Mother today. The Queen Mother and her elderly have already known about the condition of the Queen Mother, their sisters. It’s deep in love, when the time comes, you will naturally arrange for a suitable imperial doctor to check it out. You will go back soon and take good care of the queen dowager for the miscellaneous family. If there is a mistake, be careful of your life!"

After that, Li Gui quickly stepped forward and directly pulled Jingyi back to Zhongcui Palace, and closed the palace door tightly!

"Sister-in-law, why are you so stupid? The outside are all from the Queen Mother of the West Palace. Now inside the palace wall is Yehenala's world. She has called for a secret call. Anyone in Zhongcui Palace wants Leaving, the guards can all be killed, the crime is stealing!" Li Gui whispered in Jingyi's ear.

Jingyi is only fifteen years old this year, and she is also a clever maid.

She naturally knew the situation of her side, but now the Queen Mother of the East Palace is already dying. If she doesn't find someone for treatment, she might really die!

At this moment, someone outside the palace suddenly shouted:

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Li Gui and Jingyi turned pale, hurriedly opened the palace gate and knelt to greet each other!

In the future, Cixi, today's Empress Dowager West, is 47 years old and she is in prime of life.

She wandered into the courtyard of Zhongcui Palace, followed by two guards with knives and Li Lianying, chief eunuch chief.

Speaking of eunuchs Li Gui and Li Lianying still have some relatives, but Li Gui usually stays with Empress Dowager Ci'an, and Li Lianying is Cixi's personal slave!

The relationship between the two of them is hostile on the surface, but in private they are very harmonious and close!

Life in the court is not easy for the eunuch, if there is no network in secret, it is very difficult to mix.

Masters and sons are enemies, but slaves can become friends. Exchange of information allows each other to claim credit in front of their own masters, which is also a way of survival.

At this moment, Li Gui and Jingyi both knelt on the ground, and Cixi walked directly into the bedroom of Zhong Cui Palace without even looking at them.

Jingyi got nervous after seeing it, and hurriedly got up and followed!

Upon seeing this, Li Lianying hurriedly shouted angrily: "Brave servant, who made you get up!"

At this time, the eunuchs and court ladies all ran into the courtyard to meet with Cixi. They were originally kneeling on the ground, and when they heard Li Lianying's roar, they squatted directly on the ground, and they didn't even dare to get out of the air.

Only the little palace lady Jingyi stood there stubbornly in the face of danger.

The Queen Mother turned around and glanced at Jingyi, and then smiled slightly: "Lianying, my Big sis is recuperating. Your yelling and ranting will disturb her cleansing, won't you shut up?"

Li Lianying heard the master's words and hurriedly fell to her knees, claiming that the slave should die.

Cixi ignored him, and said to Jingyi: "Are you the close-knit handmaid Jingyi beside Big sis? Come in with me. Now Big sis's condition has deteriorated, and there is no one to take care of him. I still don't worry!"

When the words were over, Cixi opened the door and walked in directly, ignoring the people who were kneeling outside.

Jingyi gritted her teeth, and finally followed in the door!

The bedroom was a little dark, and a woman was lying weakly on the big bed, and beside her was a baby who looked just a few days old.

Jingyi entered the room and quickly lit the candlelight, then ran to the bed and stood with her head bowed, without saying a word.

The Queen Mother slowly turned around in the room, and finally sat on the chair, sighed and said:

"If I haven't come for a few days, I feel that the bedroom where Big sis lives seems to be in a lot of disappointment. What a pity!"

"I have given you all the power in the palace, what else do you want?" The woman on the bed coughed weakly, and then said weakly.

"I don't think so, but I just feel it is a pity! Big sis, I seem to be two years older than you, but I have called you the Big sis for so many years! After the Big sis is gone, I may be alone! Big sis has been hiding in this Zhongcui palace for several months and cannot come out to see people. The ministers have already doubted! Hey, after all, you are the Queen Mother of the East Palace. You should be respected in this harem, but unfortunately you are now It's shameful! Big sis, I'm a little scared. I'm afraid that your affairs will leak out and lose the face of the emperor. What do you say?" Empress Dowager Cixi's tone was sad and seemed to be really worried.

"Huh, Yehnala, do you still have the face of the emperor? I heard that Zeng Jize signed the "Ili Treaty" and "Revised Land Trade Regulations" with Tsarist Russia more than two months ago. According to this In the two treaties, although we were able to recover Ili and no longer cede the Tex River, the area west of the Khorgos River would be occupied by Tsarist Russia; the court had to pay Tsarist Russia fifty thousand taels of silver? You are so weak and worthy of it. The first emperor?" The empress dowager Ci'an's tone was a bit agitated, and she coughed again.

Cixi's gaze was indifferent, and after a long time he whispered:

"I can't do anything. I can't fight and fight. In order to let the war quell, I can only pay compensation! I did this to protect the foundation of Daqing. Big sis, don't take the topic away and tell you one thing. , I have already punished the guards who committed adultery with you. Now in this world, no one knows your scandal except those in the palace! The reason why I came here today is to say goodbye to you. Lianying is my person, he will definitely help you keep this secret forever when he is with me, do you have anything else to say before you make a move?"

Ci'an sat up from the bed tremblingly, and she finally understood. It seems that Cixi has controlled many rights in the past few months, and this time she is here to kill her.

The two palaces of the East and the West have been listening to politics for several years. As the empress of Xianfeng, Ci'an has been suppressing the imperial concubine of Cixi.

Now everything has changed. She made a mistake and was seized by others. In order to preserve her face, she could only give up power.

Without the thought of paying attention to Jiangshan Sheji, Cian looked at the baby sleeping next to him, tears falling in his eyes!

After a long time, Ci'an raised his head to look at Cixi, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Little Sister, can you spare this kid? You can ask Li Lianying to adopt him. He is innocent, and he doesn't know anything! Let him be an ordinary guard in the palace in the future, OK? Or just let him Send it to the people and be an ordinary person?"

Cixi frowned slightly and did not speak.

Ci'an slowly climbed down from the bed, knelt down on the ground and crawled in front of Cixi, kowtow and said:

"Little Sister, you and I have been widows for more than 20 years! I know that you should have some infidelity in the palace these years, but I did not send anyone to investigate you deliberately, so I failed to catch you. handle!

I lost now! I think!

But can you look at Jae Chun's Face and tell me a bit?

I used to treat your child sincerely back then, now can you let my child go? "

Seeing Ci'an who was already crying into tears, Ci Xi frowned tighter, recalling the past.

After entering the palace, he gave the title to Yigui, and the next year he was promoted to Yimen. Four years later, he gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor Aixinjue Luo Zaichun.

After Emperor Xianfeng died, Zaichun succeeded him as Emperor Tongzhi.

As the biological mother of Tongzhi, she became the Queen Mother of Our Lady, and Ci'an became the Queen Mother. The situation of the Queen Mothers of the Eastern and Western Palaces listening to politics was formed, and the battle between the Queen Mothers of the Eastern and Western Palaces began!

Today, Prince Jin’s son, Zai-min, enters the Datong, and own’s biological son, Zai-chun, has passed away for a few years.

At that time, Ci'an really took good care of Zaichun and regarded it as his own.

Speaking of which, Ci'an is considered a qualified queen mother, she is virtuous and virtuous, and has the ability to govern the country!

It's just that she is a person who has a great desire for power. Cixi has to admit that she has been looking forward to the day when she can take over power!

But when this day was really in sight, Cixi was a little lonely.

She doesn't like Ci'an, because she has always been a woman above her power.

She also likes Ci'an a little bit, because since Emperor Xianfeng's death, she and this woman have been with each other for more than two decades!

After thinking for a long time, Cixi finally nodded. She stood up and prepared to leave. When she walked to the door, she stopped and said:

"Big sis, Little Sister retired!

At dusk, I will ask Lin Ying to take the child away and bring you the last meal!

Lin Ying is a minion by my side, too dazzling.

He seems to have some relatives with the minion Li Gui next to you. I heard that Li Gui already has two adopted children. Why not let Li Gui have one more adopted son, called Li Guisan!

Tonight in Zhongcui Palace, the Queen Mother of the East Palace will die violently, and all the eunuchs and maids serving in Zhongcui Palace need to be buried and apologized!

Li Lianying will adopt Li Gui's three adopted sons. After this incident, there will be no deeds and legends of the Queen Mother of the East Palace!

Big sis, do you think this kind of story is good? "

A beam of joy appeared on the face of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and she knelt to the ground behind Cixi, and said in a trembled voice:

"Niu Hulu Ruifen, congratulations to the Queen Mother!"

Finally, a triumphant smile appeared on Cixi's face. She wandered out of the bedroom, and then took Li Lianying out of the Zhongcui Palace.

"From this moment on, no one is allowed to enter, and no one is allowed to come out. Those who violate the order, make a decision!"

This is the last word that Cixi said to the guards when he left Zhongcui Palace!

Starting today, it's all over.

From today, it is also a new beginning!
