Chapter 36: Where to Go From Here

Cixi said that she was "tired", which was not an excuse, she was really exhausted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past five hours, Cixi's mood has been in a state of ups and downs, especially the period of crying and crying, whether it is psychologically or physically, it is a serious "overdraft". was already reluctant to support, but at first glance the sunset bathed his body, his mind was in a trance, and his breath suddenly leaked out.

Guan Zhuofan went out.

Not long after, Yu'er came in, and Li Lianying came in together.

Both of them barely managed to keep the smiles on their faces.

Yu'er's appearance is like a seriously frightened little animal, there is unconcealed uncertainty on her face, and her smile seems to be just a "way to get around", as if there is a little bit of trouble, she is about to throw away her smile and run away.

In the past ten months, she has probably known all the great changes that have taken place in Beijing.

The shock it received was not much less than that of Cixi.

Li Lianying is in a different situation: in front of the master, those who are slaves can't have a wooden face; However, now, it is a period of "great changes", and we must no longer pile up flowers on our faces as we did before we went to Beijing, and we must be careful to maintain a "moderate" expression.

Cixi noticed that Yu and Li were both carrying a suitcase in their hands, Yu'er was smaller in her hand and Li Lianying was larger.

Yu'er's other hand also held a protective book.

What is it?

Li Lianying put down the suitcase, knelt down, and kowtowed.

Cixi glanced at him and said lightly, "Well, you're back?" ”

"Yes, minion ......"

Li Lianying lowered her head, seemed to be choked, and didn't say anything, but her body leaned lower.

"These two days in Beijing...... Where have you been? ”

"Back to the master's words," Li Lianying raised her upper body, but still lowered her head, "The slave has been staying in the palace of Prince Xuan of North Street in the inner ......"

After a slight pause, "I haven't gone out for a single step." ”

"Oh......"

I understand.

Then there's nothing to ask you about.

Seeing that Cixi was speechless, Yu'er said cautiously: "Master, these two boxes were handed down by the prince, and he said that the contents were brought from Beijing by him...... Pulse case, excerpt ......"

Oh, it's these......

"The prince said that the documents in the box, one by one, are numbered, and what is contained in this book is the table of contents......"

Cixi smiled slightly bitterly in her heart: so thoughtful.

"Well, let's put it aside."

Yu'er put the two suitcases on one side, and put the book on the dresser.

Then, tentatively, he said, "Master, it's time for dinner......

"Then pass it on."

Cixi's voice was tired, but calm.

Yu'er, who was standing, and Li Lianying, who was kneeling, both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that Cixi would withdraw from dinner directly in the name of "no appetite".

That's ugly.

Prince Xuan is still in the palace.

Yu'er was about to retreat, but Cixi said again: "Get up, let's go and take care of it together." ”

This sentence was said to Li Lianying.

He couldn't help but be stunned.

This is...... There is no point in asking oneself what to say.

At least, not for the time being.

"Yes."

Li Lianying kowtowed again and stood up.

There is another "dining room" in the palace, but Cixi passed on the meal, and most of them were in the bedroom, and today is no exception.

To the surprise of Yu'er and Li Lianying, the amount of food of the Queen Mother did not drop significantly.

Originally, both of them were worried that although the Queen Mother passed the meal as usual, she would stop and move her chopsticks slightly, so she ordered her to be withdrawn.

In fact, Cixi did "have no appetite", but she was physically strong, and the intense consumption of five hours brought obvious hunger, and under the pull of two contradictory feelings, she decided that she still had to "work hard to add food".

Because, she knows, this is just the beginning, just for her to lay out the situation, where to go, is the next thing, she has to wake up the spirit of twelve, to deal with the upcoming challenges.

Therefore, alas, it is impossible not to force yourself and fill your stomach.

Otherwise, there won't be enough spirit to fight this battle!

After dinner, I cleaned my hands, rinsed my mouth, and served tea.

Although there was no third person in the bedroom, Yu'er still lowered her voice slightly, "Master, after the prince changed the medicine at Mr. Nanben's, he came here again......

After a slight pause, he pointed to the side with his hand, "...... I went next door and stayed for a while before I left the palace! ”

Cixi's heart jumped.

Next door is the room of the junior official and the nurse.

My heart was hot, and my nose was slightly sore.

After a moment, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten a very important thing.

The petty official hasn't had a name yet, and the big name or milk name doesn't have it-

I forgot to ask him to name the petty official.

Tomorrow, this matter, no matter what, can no longer be forgotten.

She nodded and said, "He went back to the small station barracks?" ”

"Yes." Yu'er said, "The slave maid told the prince that the prince is injured now, and there are only a few orderlies in the barracks, all of them are clumsy, and they must not take good care of the prince, and today, the prince will stay in the palace for the night......"

After a pause, "But, the prince said...... Square peg. ”

Square peg?

Cixi smiled slightly bitterly.

Square peg.

He's not suitable, and I'm not suitable.

I let out a long sigh in my heart.

"The prince said," Yu'er continued, "The master is tired, those pulse cases, excerpts, don't be in a hurry to take a look at it tonight, take care of your spirits, and it's not too late to look at it tomorrow." He said that the morning after tomorrow, at the second quarter of the first month, he would come again to ask for training. ”

"The day after tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Half past nine...... Well, good. ”

After taking a sip of tea and groaning for a while, Cixi said, "I won't go out for a walk today, I'll rest for a while, half an hour...... At the second moment of the first month, you invite Qifujin to come over. ”

"Yes, the slave does."

Originally, there was another thing that should be asked for the guidance of the Queen Mother: now is the "national funeral", should the people here in the palace also change their clothes to "mourn"?

When the meal was passed on, Yu'er and Li Lianying had already quietly discussed it and reached a consensus: What should be prepared, let's prepare quietly below, but if the Queen Mother doesn't mention this matter, the two of us will pretend not to think about it, and don't mention it for the time being.

*

As soon as he saw Cixi's face, Qifujin's eyes turned red.

Saluting, giving seats, and serving tea, when Yu'er and Li Lianying withdrew, Qifujin's tears were already rolling in their eyes.

However, Cixi didn't want to shed any more tearsβ€”the afternoon's tears had already been enough!

There is no reason to comfort this stupid sister in turn - if it weren't for you being too useless and unable to control your husband, that bastard wouldn't have bitten me, and finally broke into a catastrophe!

"Fang Jiajia's side...... Are you all right? ”

This is greeting relatives, but Cixi's tone is cold.

Qifujin hurriedly wiped his eyes, owed a bow, and said, "If you go back to the Queen Mother, it's all right!" Although my mother has some old and cold legs, she can eat and sleep, and her body is hard and tough! ”

After a pause, "Zhaoxiang and Guixiang are still the same, ...... last time"

"Not to mention the two of them."

Cixi interrupted Qifujin's words.

Qifujin was slightly stunned and froze, "Yes." ”

"Guan Zhuofan's injury...... Is it really someone sent by Yiyun to do it? ”

Qifujin was shocked, and his face turned white with a "brush".

She didn't expect that as soon as they met, her sister asked this.

After snorting twice, Qifujin said in a low, barely audible voice: "Back to the Queen Mother...... Yes. ”

"Guan Zhuofan said," Cixi stared at Qifujin, "He doesn't have real evidence in his hands, so how can you conclude that Lao Qi did it?" ”

"Yes...... Yi Xun said it himself. ”

What the?

Cixi was stunned, "He said it himself? Saying it to you personally? ”

"Yes."

Incredible.

"What's going on? How can he be with you...... What about such a thing? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother," Qifujin said, "After Yixuan's accident, it was rumored that the assassin was ...... Yixun's. Once, when I spent all the people who were waiting next to me, I asked him, 'Did you do the assassination of Yixuan?' ’”

After a pause, "He said, 'How did I do it?' What if I didn't? ’”

Cixi's brow furrowed.

"I was shocked and said, 'Did you really do it?' He said, 'Whatever you like, that's it!' ’”

Cixi's brows furrowed even tighter.

"I cried and said, 'What are you doing with your good life?' Aren't you crazy? I'm still in front of the Queen Mother, and I'm trying my best to distinguish it for you, I can't think of ......'"

"You waitβ€”"

Cixi interrupted Qifujin's words.

Coincidentally, at that time, Yi Xun also interrupted his wife's words here.

"Before you asked him, 'Did you do the assassination of Yixuan?'" Cixi said, "did you two quarrel?" Isn't it just a hurryβ€”"

Speaking of this, Cixi stopped and stared at Qifujin tightly.

Although Qifujin is not smart, he also understands what his sister means, and said, "There is no quarrel!" ”

"A few days ago, I don't know what he was tossing around outside, he didn't go home, sometimes, he spent the night at Haidian Villa, that time, it was rare for him to have dinner with me at home - I could see that he was in good spirits." ”

Another meal, "During the meal, I didn't say a word to him, let alone quarrel." ”

It's-

"Go on."

"Didn't I say 'unthinkable'?" Qifujin said, "He said, 'Unexpected? In two days, there will be something you can't think of! So he turned around and went out. ”

Speaking of this, his voice lowered, "It's what happened that night, old Rui and their ......"

Well, here comes the "view of the property".

In this way, Guan Zhuofan's assassination was really done by Yiyun!
