Chapter 19: For Whom the Bell Tolls

Cixi's heart was shocked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Could it be...... Something happened to Fang Jiayuan?!

If the "accident" is really Fang Jiayuan, it won't be Zhaoxiang and Guixiang - Zhaoxiang is just a third-class duke, Guixiang doesn't have any title, and there is only a false title of "Scattered Rank Minister" on his body, Wanzhen is both a sister and a county king Fujin, if it is Zhaoxiang or Guixiang who has passed away, Wanzhen has no reason to mourn for them.

Then, it can only be-

Mother?!

Cixi's maid was very filial, and when she thought that her mother might have died, she couldn't help but turn white!

No, no, although my mother is old and has a good body, I don't want to ...... Scare yourself!

So, apart from her mother, who else will Wanzhen mourn?

Uh, uh......

That's right! There is another possibility, and that is...... Yiyun.

However, Yi Xun is not only in his prime, but also good at working hard, and he has never heard of any serious illness, how can it be? ……

Could it be, or ...... Mother?!

Cixi's heart was beating violently, her hands and feet trembled, her mouth was dry, and even cold sweat came out!

Yu'er also noticed Qifujin's vegetarian body, what the Queen Mother thought of, she naturally thought of it, so her face also changed!

I wanted to comfort and explain the Queen Mother, I opened my mouth, but I couldn't say anything.

Coupled with Prince Xuan's shocking arm, Yu'er's face, when she heard Hu's "great joy", had disappeared without a trace.

Whether it is Cixi or Yu'er, no matter what, I can't imagine that now it is a "national funeral".

"See...... Is Li Lianying gone? ”

Cixi's voice trembled slightly.

"I didn't ...... Yes. ”

Yu'er's voice also trembled.

At this time, I saw Guan Zhuofan turning around in the direction of the main building.

Subconsciously, Cixi took two steps back sharply, avoiding the collision of possible sights.

She stood up and gasped a few times, but she couldn't support it anymore, and sat down on the "chaise longue" next to her.

"Master! ……”

Yu'er shouted softly.

Cixi lowered her head and shook her hand, "You let me take a breath!" He...... It's coming up. ”

Yu'er hesitated and took a step back.

Cixi tried her best to collect her mind, however, this time her self-regulation had little effect, and she still had a rapid heartbeat, panic, and a feeling of being out of breath.

She couldn't help but be depressed, smiled slightly bitterly, and a thought came to her: Forget it, no matter him, he should come, he must come!

But...... No way!

She was ruthless, took the nail of her right hand, put it on the back of her left hand, and pinched it hard, and the severe pain lifted her spirits, and the breath was finally smooth.

However, the heart is still beating, and the heart is still flustered.

Cixi and Yu'er stopped talking, and in the dormitory, it was extremely quiet, both of them could hear each other's breathing, and at the same time, they seemed to be able to hear the sound of their heartbeats - but, I don't know if it's their own or the other's?

Every second is a long time.

Finally, in the corridor outside, there was a faint sound of footsteps, and a little closer discernment could be heard that there were several people in the group, men and women, and that there were spurs and soldiersβ€”and more than one.

Since Guan Zhuofan was in the car, although he was dressed in a military uniform, he did not have spurs on his boots, that is, his guards and other characters also followed, which was unprecedented before!

What does that mean?

Cixi and Yu'er both have a faint feeling of wind and rain.

The Hu family came first, but she was full of spring breeze: "The Queen Mother of Qi, Prince Xuan asks to see!" ”

"Well, tell him in."

Cixi did her best to make her voice sound calm as usual.

Guan Zhuofan came in, knelt down on one knee, raised his right arm, raised his hand to level his chest, and said loudly, "Minister Guan Zhuofan, I respectfully ask the Queen Mother for all blessings!" ”

Although it is "loud", it seems to be a little hoarse.

Guan and Ci were still a few steps away from each other, but in an instant, Cixi felt that the strong, familiar masculine aura had penetrated her skin and invaded her internal organs!

Her body shook slightly, and she could no longer call herself "calm as usual":

"Start...... Come! ”

The voice of the Queen Mother was visibly trembling.

Guan Zhuofan thanked him and stood up.

Cixi's gaze could not get rid of Guan Zhuofan's injured arm, and there was an almost sickly flush on her pale face.

Guan Zhuofan lowered his head slightly, and also glanced at his injured arm.

"Please rest assured," he said calmly, "this injury is not to the bone, it can only be regarded as a flesh injury, and there is nothing serious." ”

"not to the bone", "wounds of flesh and skin"......

How does it sound like ...... Wounded by a sharp object?!

As soon as she thought of this, Cixi's eyes widened.

"Also," said Kwan Zhuofan, "the old lady is very healthy, Pu An...... It's okay too. ”

The breath that Cixi was carrying was leaked at once, and she touched her chest with her hand, and almost said: Thank God!

Yu'er on the side, but involuntarily, blurted out: "Thank God! ”

This can be regarded as a "loss of honor", but the current Cixi can't take care of this.

Who is "Pu An", she was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

It's a strange name.

When mentioning Yiyun in front of Cixi, no matter who he is, he will not call him a cousin.

Among the clansmen, when it comes to Yiyun, they are generally called "Seven Masters", among which those with high status and large generations are also called "Old Seven" at times; When the subordinate mentions Yixun, he is naturally the "King of the Alcohol County", and a few people such as King Gong's status and seniority are higher than Yixun, and sometimes they will call the name of "Yixun", but as a courtier, there is no reason to call another courtier in front of the monarch.

However, there were too many strange things, and this small anomaly was only in Cixi's mind, and it was fleeting, and she did not pay too much attention to it.

What Cixi thought was: This person can literally get into your stomach!

Since the heart is loose, doubts arise:

Wanzhen is a vegetarian, is it ...... Not mourning?

Impossible!

That...... Which one is it for?

A thought popped into my mind: Could it be ...... "east"?

Blood suddenly surged up on his head, and he was inexplicably excited, and he grabbed Cixi at once, and his palms were slightly damp!

This time, it's not a cold sweat!

But she then dismissed the thought: impossible! If so, this kind of thing is unusual, how could Guan Zhuofan hide it from himself?!

Hmm, or......

Was that before he came to Tianjin?

Or is it because of this that he came to Tianjin?

Cixi's heart was pounding again.

However, "Dongbianer" has never had any serious illness, and her body and bones seem to be ...... It's always been good!

This one......

Hmph, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, who knows?

Guan Zhuofan didn't know that Cixi at this time was actually turning such a thought, he said: "Qifujin is tired from the journey and can't enter the Hajj immediately, please let the Queen Mother allow her to take a breath and come back to see the driver." ”

Cixi understands that the so-called "exhaustion of the journey" is just an excuse, the so-called "take a breath", it is this "driving", Guan Zhuofan must come first to "see" it, before it can be the turn of Qifujin, it is impossible for Qifujin to go first, and Guan Zhuofan after him, and it is impossible to enter the Hajj at the same time - that would be embarrassing.

She nodded, "Yes." ”

Guan Zhuofan stopped talking, and looked left and right, as if he was looking for something.

Cixi knew what he was looking for, and whispered, "In ...... Next door. ”

Hongxia had already flown on her face, and her whole body was hot, she settled down and said to Yu'er: "You take the prince there...... Check it out. ”

Yu'er replied loudly: "Yes!" ”

Then, with a smile on his face, he said to Guan Zhuofan: "The slave leads the way, please come with me!" ”

Yu'er and Guan Zhuofan, one after the other, went out.

In the bedroom, Cixi's thoughts fluctuated.

A trace of guilt welled up in my heart: thinking of "the east" and "not secret", I actually ...... Nothing sad?

However, this trace of guilt was soon driven away by a huge, moving prospect:

If it's really "Eastern" -

Then, the "two palaces are hanging the curtain", but only one person is left with the power!

Cixi's mouth was dry again.

This time, it was very different from Fang Cai who thought it was his mother who was "unashamed"!

This time, it's because of the irrepressible excitement!

Will you ...... Thinking too much?

However, since Wanzhen is not mourning for her mother, then, except for "Dongbianer", she has no reason to mourn for the second person!
