"But," Guan Zhuofan said slowly, "the Queen Mother is not the Queen Mother after all. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After a pause, "Minister...... There is a saying that if you talk about wisdom, intelligence, thoughtfulness, and decisiveness, the three queen mothers and queen mothers are not as good as the queen mothers. ”

I don't know if this is a praise or a disadvantage? Cixi was silent again.

"As for this rumor," Guan Zhuofan said, "the Queen Mother Mingjian, probably not the Queen Mother has the ability to contricate it. ”

"That'...... What could have been man-made? ”

"The minister's hand," Guan Zhuofan said, "there is no clear evidence, so it is difficult to name names." However, the Queen Mother also knows, secretly, there is more than one person who is waiting for the opportunity to move? Otherwise, how did the previous exposé come about? ”

Unmasking the case? What do you mean......

"And—" Guan Zhuofan continued, "those who say wrong are right and wrong. ”

Cixi was slightly stunned, "You mean...... Old Seven? ”

Guan Zhuofan stopped talking.

"Lao Qi is indeed deaf! I, I can't wait to ......"

At this moment, Cixi really hated Yixun, and she couldn't wait to grab him from Beijing, press him to the ground, and shave his big ears fiercely: You are still my brother-in-law! I've always treated you like a ...... My people!

But—

"But," Cixi said hesitantly, "Lao Qi has always been confused when he does things for people, and he may not be able to have this brain, right?" ”

Guan Zhuofan sneered: "His fifth brother, doing things for others, is even more confused, didn't he also come up with a case of exposing the post?" ”

"This ......"

"It's true that Pu An has always been confused, but as for 'this brain'—"

Guan Zhuofan sneered again, "He didn't, the people under him may not have any!" What he has done, the minister has not had time to return to the Queen Mother to know! ”

Cixi felt a chill in his heart: Yes, after that, there must have been many things that happened, and some of them must have been very serious—he even suspected that Lao Qi had sent someone to assassinate him!

Thinking of this, I let out a soft "um".

"The Queen Mother," Guan Zhuofan said, "The minister doesn't say anything else, only a passage she said - this passage is what the Queen Mother said to Qifujin, the minister took the liberty to return to the Queen Mother for Qifujin, and when Qifujin entered the Hajj, the Queen Mother could ask her for verification." ”

She ...... What was said? ”

"The Queen Mother said," Guan Zhuofan said, "'No matter who the heir emperor is, and no matter what she has done, the Queen Mother is her!'" It's all Yehnara. Xingzhen! ”

Cixi's heart trembled.

"And," Kwan continued, "well, 'I'll have her!'" Don't worry, if she doesn't become the Queen Mother, I won't be the Queen Mother! ’

"East Side" actually said such a thing?

It was so unexpected!

In Cixi's heart, it was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and she couldn't tell what it tasted like?

"The minister wants to persuade the queen mother," Guan Zhuofan said, "This, as the saying goes, 'Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold' - brothers are like this, how can sisters not be like this?" The two queen mothers, who are in the same boat through thick and thin, share honor and disgrace, when and under what circumstances, they can't ...... It's a mess. ”

Cixi was silent for a while, finally nodded, and said, "You're right, maybe it's me...... In the face of great changes, for a while, I thought too much......"

After a pause, "The palace people have a physical examination, after all, they only checked the Changchun Palace and the Taiji Palace, and Emperor Muzong's temperament was free, so he wandered around, perhaps, in any other palace, it was contaminated with unclean things, and it might not be ...... It's also unbearable...... The Forbidden City is so big, and there are so many palace people, it is impossible to find out one by one......"

In any case, it is still a little bit dead: Mu Zong's "bayberry" was contaminated in the palace.

"This can't be seen", it seems to be for Ci'an's cheeks, but this sentence is light and fluttering, and it has no weight at all - if you really want to "watch", there is absolutely no reason to "can't look at it".

Therefore, to put it mildly, it is still a dereliction of duty.

Also, "Perhaps, in some other palace, there are unclean things" - in the Forbidden City, outside the Changchun Palace and the Taiji Palace, Mu Zong's two favorite places to go are the Zhongcui Palace in Ci'an, and the Yonghe Palace of Concubine Ligui.

Guan Zhuofan sighed in his heart.

But he can't blame Cixi, the current Cixi is like a person who has fallen into the water, catching a straw is a straw, as long as she can remove the notoriety of "bayberry" from herself, no matter who she throws at her, she will not hesitate at all.

To blame, he can only blame himself.

He is the real initiator.

Although Guan Zhuofan didn't say anything more, his expression told Cixi that he didn't think much of her explanation.

Cixi secretly lifted her breath.

"You sit ......"

Guan Zhuofan sat down.

"My wrong," Cixi's voice trembled slightly, "no one knows better than you......"

Speaking of this, he bit his lip and stretched out his hand tremblingly towards Guan Zhuofan.

In the situation, Guan Zhuofan, who had just sat down, couldn't help but stand up and hold her outstretched hand.

Cixi's hands were soft and slippery, but they were cold and cold, and they trembled slightly.

Not long after giving birth, compared to before pregnancy, Cixi actually plumped up a whole circle, however, holding her hand, Guan Zhuofan's feeling was just the opposite, the woman in her hand, petite and thin, seemed to let go, she would-

Alas, I can't tell, what will it be?

"Zhuo Fan," Cixi raised her head, her red and swollen eyes glistening with tears, "you...... Be sure to wash it for me! ”

Guan Zhuofan's heart trembled.

He had never seen Cixi like this: on her face after the storm, in addition to mournful pleading, there was also unconcealed fear, confusion and ...... Hope.

Her only hope.

It was this "only hope" that put her in a state of fear and confusion.

It's ironic.

That deep disgust for himself once again came out of Guan Zhuofan's heart.

He took a breath, "Minister...... Do all in one's power. ”

The words "do your best" can't make Cixi really put her mind at ease.

"Zhuo Fan, it's not 'do your best', it's ...... 'certain', 'certain'!"

Guan Zhuofan felt that Cixi's hand was involuntarily exerting strength.

"Otherwise, otherwise," Cixi's words brought out a crying voice, "In my life, there is no way to go from this official port palace...... Get out there! ……”

In my life, there is no way to walk out of this Guangang Palace......

It's-

Isn't that what I, the initiator, set out to do?

It's really ironic!

"Yes," Guan Zhuofan said with great difficulty, "Minister...... Certain. ”

When he said this, his mood was extremely heavy.

He himself did not know: Did I really agree to Cixi? Or is it a new lie to her?

Besides, how can this kind of thing be "washed away"?

The water has been spilled out - still dirty! How can I get it back?

It's no use crying over spilt milk..

"Zhuo Fan," Cixi said tentatively, "I suddenly thought of an idea, you look at ...... Is it feasible? ”

Before, even when the two were at their deepest, Cixi did not use this tone when she spoke to Guan Zhuofan.

"Please admonish the Queen Mother."

"That Lu'er, no matter how you say it, her body is broken, you see, can you ......?"

I knew you were going to beat Lu'er's idea.

The life and death of a little palace maid, in the eyes of Cixi, is naturally like the life and death of ants, but Guan Zhuofan does not want his hands to be stained with the blood of real innocents.

Lu'er is a real innocent, and Cixi, although she is also "innocent", but as Guan Zhuofan argues herself, she is the superior, and in the game of power, no one is really innocent.

"I know what the Queen Mother means," Guan Zhuofan said calmly, "However, there are not a few people who know the results of Lu'er's 'physical examination', in addition to the imperial doctor, there are also people from the Internal Affairs Office - after the affairs of the Internal Affairs Bureau, how can one thing be kept secret?" ”

After a pause, "The most important thing is that Lu'er is innocent, and the Queen Mother also knows it." ”

Cixi was silent.

"Suddenly change the previous discussion, I'm afraid the minister will ...... It will give rise to more, greater suspicions. ”

"That ......"

"This matter can't be hastily done, the Queen Mother is lenient, Rong Chen thinks carefully, and moves after making a decision."

Speaking of this, Guan Zhuofan sighed lightly, as if he had made up his mind: "The life and breath of the ministers are all owned by the Queen Mother, and since you have received the mercy, you will definitely go all out, please ...... Feel relieved. ”

The life and breath of the ministers are all the queen mother's - ouch, this word is so beautiful!

"Good, good," Cixi's eyes glowed warmly, "I'm relieved, I'm relieved!" ”

Alas, I don't know, are you really "at ease"?

Anyway, I'm not very relieved by myself.
