At this time, I saw that the Empress Dowager Xi gathered a few eunuchs and palace maids and arranged for them to do something that was not too anxious, but it was all some fine work; In pairs, they play the role of mutual supervision, and the places they want to go are far away from here, and it takes at least an hour or two to go back and forth.
Looking at the eunuchs who were sent out, Cui Yugui knew in his heart that these were all suspected of being suspicious and obedient spies on weekdays, and the details of the conversation when he was transferred from the mountain and summoned Prince Gong would not be leaked out.
After the people who should be driven out were driven away, the Empress Dowager Xi shouted majestically: "Cui Yugui!" Cui Yugui didn't dare to be careless, and replied loudly: "The slave is here!" ”
Empress Dowager Xi's voice became very gentle again, and said: "There is something I want you to do, you can do it best, if you feel that you can't do it, you can be honest, the mourning family does not blame you." ”
Cui Yugui understood what the Empress Dowager Xi meant, she was already worried about summoning Prince Gong, and Su Shun might try to stop it, so she had the words "It can be done, but it can't be done". But as the chief eunuch, he wanted to make meritorious contributions to himself, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "No matter what the master asks the slave to do, the slave will do his best." ”
"You go and pass the decree: just say that the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces will summon Prince Gong!" The Empress Dowager of the West whispered to him.
So Cui Yugui walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion and trotted straight to the Jingcheng Palace. He thought to himself what he would do if he ran into Su Shun. When he came to the outside of the hall, he saw a eunuch walking out, and stopped him and whispered: "Is the sixth master still inside?" What to do? ”
"Still, the officials are greeting him."
"How about Su Zhongtang and the Sixth Master?"
Seeing that his expression was unnatural, the eunuch was stunned for a moment before replying: "Su Zhongtang is very polite to the sixth master!" Nothing. ”
As soon as he heard this, Cui Yugui put down his thoughts slightly, tidied up his clothes and hats, and strode into the Yubo Jingcheng Palace. I saw that the civil and military officials were standing on duty, and a group of princes and ministers surrounded Prince Gong and came out.
Cui Yugui thought to himself that this was a good opportunity, in front of so many people, no one dared to disobey the order! So he opened his throat and solemnly shouted: "Feng Yizhi...... ”
Facing Prince Gong, he said, "The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces summoned Prince Gong. With this, the hall fell silent,
walked up to him and greeted Prince Gong and said, "Sixth Master, please!" The two queen mothers are waiting. ”
Prince Gong didn't answer, but slowly turned his face, looked at everyone, and then said, "A few of you will go with this king to see you!" Everyone focused on Su Shun's face. But Su Shun didn't hear anything, yes.
According to the system of the Qing Dynasty, under normal circumstances, Prince Gong and the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces had certain difficulties. The princes and nobles of the Qing system met the concubines, and they were not allowed to meet each other. Generally speaking, only on the Empress Dowager or the Emperor's Birthday (birthday), or on New Year's Day, the kings can meet each other when they lead the Fujin into the palace to congratulate.
Cui Yugui's clothes on his back were already soaked with sweat at this time, and he knew that if he couldn't say it, he was going to mess up this errand today. He also knew some things about the Empress Dowager Xi and Prince Gong, and he had an idea and said: "The Empress Dowager summoned the sixth master, just to ask about the situation in Beijing and the palace. ”
He also said: "The Queen Mother is still thinking about her mother's brother, and she also wants to inquire with the six princes, their current situation, are they safe?" ”
"Since the Queen Mother wants to inquire about the private affairs of the family, then of course we have to make it convenient for the courtiers, the sixth master should go, don't let the Queen Mother wait in a hurry." No one thought that this sentence came from the mouth of Su Shun.
Prince Gong arched his hand and said, "Then the king will go first." After speaking, he turned around and followed Cui Yugui away.
Du Han leaned behind Su Shun and whispered: "You shouldn't let King Gong meet the two palaces alone, in fact, it's easy to stop him, just say that the young uncle and sister-in-law have to avoid suspicion." ”
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Zaigaki asked unhappily.
Su Shun was afraid that they would have a dispute, so he said: "He just came, don't be in a hurry, wait and see." A few people left the hall and went directly to the military aircraft.
Cui Yugui has been gone for a long time, but the Empress Dowager Xi seems to be living like a year, fidgeting, afraid that Prince Gong will not be able to come. At this time, the palace maid who was sent to inquire about the news came back and said, "The sixth master is here, and he is heading here." ”
The Empress Dowager Xi, who was full of excitement after a long absence, couldn't help but walk to the window, wanting to lift the white gauze curtains, take a closer look at Prince Gong first, and as soon as her hand was raised, she suddenly became alert, this is not the behavior that a queen mother should have.
But the hand that had been raised wanted to let it go, but it was extremely unwilling, and after a little hesitation, he finally resolutely lifted the corner of the curtain, and happened to see Prince Gong standing at the bottom of the steps.
It was the fourth time she had taken a closer look at the man who was two years older than her. The pretentious and out-of-the-sky posture in which he stood there first made a deep impression on her, because it was a look that no noble minister could have, nor dared to have.
His eyes were huge, full of energy, thirty years old, lined with a straight nose and high cheekbones, not angry but mighty, and there was a kind of intoxicating and admirable bearded eyebrow aura.
Just thinking like this, he heard a voice behind him and hurriedly retracted his hand. When she turned around, the Empress Dowager had almost walked behind her. She suddenly felt a fever on her face, and said calmly: "There are some important things to say when I turn around, please ask my sister to mention it first, and I will continue to say it." ”
Seeing that her face was wrong, the Empress Dowager Dong didn't break it, but just ordered the palace maid beside her: "Open the curtain!" ”
