That night, Cixi did not sleep well all night, and had two nightmares, the first was a dream that she had not had time to leave the palace, the city of Beijing was broken by the People's Army, a group of fierce soldiers rushed into the palace, dragged themselves off the throne, and then was changed into criminal clothes, put into a prisoner car, and paraded in the streets of Beijing, along the way by countless onlookers scolded, threw sundries, and was humiliated, and finally dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market to be beheaded.

At the moment when the executioner waved the knife, Cixi woke up from her sleep, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were on vigil were so panicked that they were busy serving one by one, for fear that Cixi would get angry again.

After Cixi settled down, she realized that she had a nightmare, and it was only the third watch, and seeing the eunuchs and palace maids panicking one by one, Cixi's heart couldn't help but feel sad, so much so that she couldn't bear to scold them anymore, just drank a few sips of water, and then fell asleep again.

In a daze, I only heard the door of the dormitory "squeak" open, a gust of cold wind blew in from the door, blowing the curtain open, Cixi was clever, sat up from the bed again, looked left and right, the eunuchs, the palace maids were gone. And just when Cixi woke up, she only heard the sound of footsteps and saw a person coming in from outside the door. Cixi looked at it and saw that this person was wearing a crown to the sky, a rolling dragon robe, and a pearl on his chest, which was the emperor's court dress. I just can't see the face clearly.

Cixi only said that Guangxu was a little calm, and said, "You don't rest in the palace, what are you doing here?"

The man suddenly said, "Lan'er, let's see who I am?"

This voice is somewhat familiar, but it is obviously not Guangxu, and "Lan'er" is Cixi's nickname, and no one has called it for many years...... Your Majesty, is it ...... Is that you?"

The man said, "It's not me, who is it?" Saying that, he took two steps forward, and under the candlelight, this person had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, quite elegant and handsome, and it was Emperor Xianfeng, the husband of Cixi.

Cixi couldn't help but feel heartbroken, hurriedly got up from the bed, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor ...... Emperor...... Where did you come from......

Xianfeng sneered and said: "Lan'er, you have done a good deed, when I return to heaven, I will entrust you with the whole country of the Qing Dynasty, I only hope that you can deny yourself and serve the public, support the new monarch, work hard, and prosper the Qing Dynasty, what have you done in the past 40 years, are you worthy of my entrustment to you!"

Cixi said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty...... The concubine does not dare to forget the emperor's entrustment!"

Xianfeng snorted and said, "You haven't forgotten my entrustment? As soon as I returned to heaven and my bones were not cold, you colluded with the sixth child to launch a coup d'état and kill the auxiliary minister appointed by me, and you did not forget my entrustment?"

Cixi trembled all over her body and said, "Those are the ideas of the sixth child, and the concubines are also forced to do so!"

Xianfeng said sharply: "Shut up, you still dare to deceive me." Su Shun, Mu Yin, and Kuang Yuan have gone to Yin Cao to sue you, and the sixth child has all confessed, do you think I don't know! What's more, you later killed the Empress Dowager Ci'an and forced the sixth child to retire, in the past 40 years, you have been in charge of the power alone, but you are arrogant, bullying the Son of Heaven, and abandoning state affairs. ”

Although Cixi has been in power for more than 40 years, killing and daring, but in front of Xianfeng, but not even dare to be atmospheric, one is that she is just a concubine in front of Xianfeng, all the power base comes from Xianfeng, the ethics of the three outlines and five constants, Cixi still has considerable binding force;

At this time, I heard the sound of footsteps, and more than 10 people came in one after another, all of them were the same color of the emperor's clothes, when Cixi peeked at it, Jingran was Daoguang, Jiaqing, Qianlong, Yongzheng, Kangxi and other kings of the Qing Dynasty, and Xianfeng also knelt on the ground and said: "I don't have a descendant of Yixu, I have seen the ancestors and the ancestors." ”

only listened to one person: "The good Qing Dynasty is bad, is it bad in the hands of this woman!"

Xianfeng said in a trembling voice: "The sons are not filial, and they mistakenly believe in the Yehenala clan, so that the country is different, and the sons and daughters are unforgivable, and they are willing to be punished by the ancestors and the ancestors." ”

Another said, "Okay, we'll kill Yehnara today, and we'll punish you again." ”

As he spoke, they all came up, each raised the stick in his hand, and hit Cixi with a head and face.

Cixi knelt on the ground, not daring to move, she could only shout: "Ancestors spare their lives, ancestors spare their lives." ”

At this moment, I heard another human: "Lafayette, don't be afraid! Lafayette, don't be afraid......"

When Cixi opened her eyes again, she found that she was still lying on the bed, and she was surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, and then she realized that she had another nightmare, but this nightmare touched the fragility of Cixi's heart, and she still believed in the reincarnation of ghosts and gods, so in retrospect, Cixi was really a little afraid.

After settling her mind, Cixi said, "What time is it?" ”

A eunuch said: "After returning to Lafayette, it is not yet the fifth watch, but it is almost over, and Lafayette can sleep for a while." ”

Only then did Cixi realize that her clothes were already wet with cold sweat, but she didn't want to sleep anymore, and said, "I can't sleep at this time, so let's get up." ”

The eunuchs and palace maids did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took clean clothes and waited for Cixi to change into, and served Cixi to dress, comb her hair, wash and so on.

After getting up, Cixi found that there were a few broken bottle and cup fragments on the ground, which were probably broken when the eunuchs and palace maids were in a hurry just now, and they didn't have time to clean up. The eunuchs and palace maids were also so frightened that their whole bodies trembled, standing aside at a loss, with a frightened look in their eyes, not knowing whose bad luck had befallen them this time.

Cixi looked at it for a while, sighed, and said, "Let these broken ones be cleaned up." Go and see if the emperor is up!" After saying that, he got up and left the dormitory.

The eunuchs and palace maids were all relieved, and finally escaped, so some people followed Cixi away, and some rushed to the Qianqing Palace to tell Guangxu to get up. Originally, it was not time to get up at this time, but Cixi had already gotten up, and Guangxu naturally couldn't sleep anymore, so he hurriedly freshened up and rushed to Cining Palace to say goodbye to Cixi.

Although the emperor and queen both got up early today, but not too early, so they gossiped in Cining Palace for a while, and it was almost time, the two had breakfast, and the sky was slightly bright.

Although he is ready to run away, there are still some things that should be done, not to mention that the People's Army has not yet attacked, so there is no need to worry. So Cixi and Guangxu summoned all the ministers of military aircraft in the Zhenghe Palace. The four ministers who stayed in Beijing, Zhang Zhidong, Na Tong, Yu Lang, and Xu Shichang were also exempted, and of course the ministers also wished Cixi and Guangxu a smooth trip to the Summer Palace. The atmosphere was very congenial, and it wasn't much different from usual.

After these cutscenes, Cixi and Guangxu got up and left the Zhenghe Palace, and the four ministers Zhang Zhidong, Natong, Yulang, and Xu Shichang sent them out of the noon gate.

At this time, there were dozens of carts parked outside the noon gate, all of which had set up horses, as well as hundreds of honor guards, this time to the Summer Palace, Cixi and Guangxu did not bring many people, one is that there are many people and the line is slow; second, there are too many people to take away, and it will also affect the hearts of the people in Beijing, so this time only 500 honor guards were brought with them, and more than 1,000 guards, after all, in the Summer Palace, there are more than 3,000 guards stationed to protect the safety of Cixi and Guangxu, it is completely enough.

This time he was not in a hurry, so Guangxu's concubines, as well as the eunuchs and palace maids who served him, could be brought, but Guangxu's concubines were not many, and there were only a few people in total, such as Queen Longyu, Concubine Zhen, Concubine Jin, etc., when the Gengzi Kingdom changed, only Queen Longyu and Concubine Jin fled, and the rest of the concubines fell in Beijing, and after returning to Beijing, Guangxu did not accept new concubines, and now there are only Queen Longyu and Concubine Jin in the harem.

At present, Cixi and Guangxu share a carriage, Empress Longyu and Concubine Jin each take a car, Cixi's personal palace maids and eunuchs each take 3 carriages, Guangxu, Empress Longyu, and Concubine Jin's personal personnel each take a carriage, and the other two are for the eunuchs and palace maids who have status and power in the palace, and the rest of the vehicles are loaded with the luggage of Cixi, Guangxu and others. The four ministers, including Yixuan, Zaifeng, Dai Hongci, and Yinchang, all rode horses to escort Cixi and Guangxu's chariots. After everyone boarded the car and sat down, Cixi ordered to set off, and the group of people and carriages set off and left the palace from Zhengyangmen.

The Summer Palace is about 15 kilometers northwest of Beijing, usually Cixi and Guangxu travel, they all take the Yongding Gate in the south to go out of Beijing, and then go around to reach the Summer Palace after going out of the city, about 10 kilometers more road. But now that the People's Army has been stationed at the Sifang Railway Station in the southeast of Beijing, and then travels through the city gate in the south, is it not intended to confront the People's Army?

Therefore, at this time, we can't pay too much attention to it, after getting out of Zhengyang Gate, the convoy of people and horses turned west, and went out of the city along the city wall around the Fucheng Gate in the west. The Fucheng Gate was originally a waterwheel, but this time it actually passed the palace convoy once.

After leaving the Fucheng Gate, the convoy traveled west along the street outside the Fucheng Gate, walked about 5 or 6 kilometers, and arrived at Balizhuang. Although the convoy was only more than 1,500 people, the movement was still very slow, and it was delayed a lot of time by going through the motions in the palace, so when the convoy arrived at Balizhuang, nearly 3 hours had passed, and it was almost 9 o'clock in the morning.

Because Cixi had two nightmares last night, Guangxu also got up half an hour early, and the mother and son didn't sleep well, sitting in the carriage and shaking, both of them were a little drowsy. Therefore, after arriving in Balizhuang, Cixi also decided to play at this time, rest for a while, and take a nap herself, anyway, she had already left Beijing City, and Cixi's mood was also a lot more relaxed.
