Chapter 49: Old Things in the Forbidden City (7)

On June 11, 1898, Emperor Guangxu ignored the obstruction of the old school represented by Cixi, and promulgated the edict of "Ming Dingguo Is" and announced the change of the law. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The dismissal of the diehards by Emperor Guangxu aroused the hatred of the diehards against the New Deal and actively planned a counterattack. On September 20, after Yuan Shikai was secretly summoned by Emperor Guangxu again, he became rebellious, and he rushed to the Yamen of Tianjin Governor overnight to report to Rong Lu.

In the early morning of the 21st, Cixi staged a coup d'Γ©tat, and Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned in Yingtai in Zhongnanhai, and the reform lasted only one hundred and three days, known as the "Hundred Days Restoration".

"Xuan Empress Dowager Yizhi, Concubine Zhen repeatedly did not repent, stirred up the emperor's innovation, intended to rebel, and now imposed a stripping staff (take off the clothes and cane), and confined in the North Sanshou Pharmacy. Qin this ......" Concubine Zhen's fingers holding the edict trembled constantly, she raised her head slightly, her black and white eyes were as bright as in the past, and the stars were dotted: "Gonggong Li, the emperor?" ”

Li Lianying kicked her kneeling on the ground in disgust, and her tone was half-true and half-false, which made people extremely uncomfortable to hear: "Yo, it's really a couple, but I won't tell you where the emperor is?" ”

Cixi's meaning is obviously to let her fend for herself, where someone has been treated by a ragged court staff without a doctor, and can still live a dragon and a tiger, and if she doesn't die, she has to go to half her life. All of them will judge the situation and kneel beside them silently, and will not help her at this juncture.

Concubine Zhen's whole body curled up into a small ball, and she was still on the cold ground by the inner supervisor, her pale lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a single syllable. Listening to their hurried footsteps, as if fleeing the plague, she smiled weakly. I'm afraid she's become a street rat that everyone shouts at now!

The hot pain in her back made her whole body become groggy and dazed, and she felt a familiar female voice in her ears, and then, someone carried her to the hard bed, and a musty smell came to her nose.

Longyu helped her change into a new thin quilt, wrung a towel, wiped the fine sweat stains oozing from her forehead, and couldn't help but sigh when she looked at her embarrassed appearance. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do even a third of her.

She thought that she would not embarrass this woman anymore!

Since the emperor is not here, then I will guard it for him......

There was a cold touch on her back, Concubine Zhen's body shook involuntarily, she slowly raised her heavy eyelids, and caught a glimpse of Longyu who was applying medicine, struggling to get up and salute.

"Okay, don't move, it's not good if the wound opens." Longyu pressed her dishonest body and said in a deep voice.

Concubine Zhen understood the concern in her tone, her tense body relaxed, her eyes couldn't help but become moist, she bit her lower lip, and said thoughtfully: "The queen is coming, ...... the queen mother?" ”

The movement in Longyu's hand paused, and there was a moment of distraction, and after a while, he said: "I avoided her eyeliner and only brought a trustworthy girl, don't worry, she doesn't have time to care about these trivial matters now." ”

Concubine Zhen hummed apologetically.

Guangxu picked up the wine cup next to him, raised his head and poured it into his mouth, the spicy feeling choked him several times, leaving behind not the sweet aroma of wine, but a thick bitterness.

He leaned against the doorrail, weak, and the tears in the corners of his eyes slid down his cheeks, red from drunkenness, like beads of broken thread, and from time to time let out a few low laughs, and the listeners were creepy.

"Your Majesty, don't drink anymore." The inner supervisor next to him really couldn't stand his self-destructive image, so he couldn't help but step forward to persuade him.

Emperor Guangxu looked at him with a confused look, giggled a few times, and pulled the corner of his clothes and shouted drunkenly: "Master...... You're Master! ”

"Your Majesty, you are mistaken, the minion is not Lord Weng."

Guangxu's movements froze, and the silly smile on his face condensed: "You are not ...... master?" So what are you doing here? The inner eunuch was pushed back a few steps by him before he stabilized his figure: "Go...... Don't bother me. ”

The inner eunuch shook his head helplessly, got up and stepped aside, it seems that this time it was a big blow to the emperor.

Guangxu re-poured the wine, hoping to use it to numb himself, huh...... It's good to be an alcoholic! You don't have to think of those annoying things, he touched the left atrium, why did he still feel so sad and sad?

Now, he has lost his most beloved Master, his freedom, and likewise his ...... I don't know how she faced that ruthless woman alone......

His emotions seemed to overflow, and he could no longer hide them, and in the silent night, he roared angrily, like a roaring mountain river, echoing for a long time......

When Longyu returned to Zhongcui Palace, she felt that the air pressure was extremely low, and she sneered, her movements were really fast! It seems that there is not a safe place in this palace.

She took off her black cloak and handed it to the palace maid who greeted her, looking at the palace maid's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, she shook her head and made a silent motion.

Cixi's tall figure was straight and straight, and a pair of eagle eyes looked directly at the calm and calm Longyu not far away, and the two were silent, and neither of them spoke. There was an eerie silence in the hall, and the sound of the two of them breathing softly could be heard clearly.

I don't know how long it took, Cixi sneered: "I really didn't expect the queen to be so kind-hearted and go to her enemies overnight?" Looking at Longyu, who bowed her head and was silent, she felt as if she had punched the cotton softly, and she was extremely unhappy. Reaching out to pick up the tea cup on the table, he fell to the ground without feeling distressed: "You evil obstacles, you really don't know how high the sky ...... high."

Longyu smiled, looked like he seriously admitted his mistakes, and said calmly: "Aunt taught me ......"

Cixi looked at her painless appearance, sighed, in the end, she is still a younger brother and child, in ordinary people's homes, they all say that aunts and nieces have the best feelings, but weak family affection is not vulnerable in the face of power, and she is also a little tired, these little things are up to her! I couldn't help but reprimand a few times in a low voice before driving away.

The palace maid helped Longyu to freshen up, and it was a little worthless for her: "Why did Niangniang offend Lafayette for Concubine Zhen, this time she was just grounded, and I don't know what trouble I will cause next time?" ”

Longyu patted her hand, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and said lightly: "You still don't understand this, even if the palace doesn't take care of Concubine Zhen, the Queen Mother may not find us trouble, she has a strong desire to control." Her gaze drifted into the distance, and she paused and said: "The emperor is my husband, and the queen mother treats him like this, no matter what, she has to find something unhappy." ”

"Will the emperor come back?" The palace maid combed her hair for a moment, and asked worriedly.

After a long time, Long Yu opened his red lips slightly, and his voice was illusory: "Yes......"
