"If you cry now, are you afraid that you won't cry in the future?" The queen mother's voice was very empty, it seemed that there was no emotion, the concubines heard this, their faces became more and more miserable, the queen leaned on Concubine Hui's body, it seemed that she was about to faint again, everyone was full of tears, only Concubine Ying was very calm, not a word, and no tears, the Empress Dowager Cixi frowned, and shouted in a low voice, "Shut up, don't disturb the emperor!" ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an stepped forward to support Cixi, "Sister, isn't the emperor's body already well, why is it not good today?" ”

Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, "Don't talk about this for the time being, you let them all go back, no one can disturb the emperor at this time." ”

The queen straightened up, walked to Cixi's knees, and grabbed Cixi's flag uniform, "Huang Eniang, the sons are really not willing to wait for news in the Chengqian Palace, so let the sons serve the emperor, in the Yangxin Palace, I can be more or less at ease." ”

Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, "Your health has always been bad, in case the emperor's illness is given to you, it will be bad, if you are worried, you will live in this apse, but without my order, you are not allowed to disturb the emperor, understand?" ”

The queen thanked her with tears, and when she stood up, she was dizzy again, and then fell to the ground softly, several concubines hurriedly held on, and the money in the palace was in a mess, and the queen mother sighed slightly, "Call the imperial doctor to show the queen, you go and take care of her," the queen mother said to the harem concubines, everyone hugged the queen and went to the harem, leaving only the harem of Emperor Xianfeng, and now the queen mother's concubines and concubines, Li Guifei is very heartbroken, her eyes are red and swollen like walnuts, "Today coincides with the first day of the lunar month, A few of us went to the Buddhist halls of various palaces to make incense, and asked the gods and Buddhas to bless our emperor. ”

Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "You guys go." Let Wanzhen stay here, and Zaicheng," the Empress Dowager Cixi had a cold and angry look in her eyes, "I'm going to take care of the rebellion in the palace first!" Where are they? ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi slowly walked out of the Palace of Heart Cultivation, walked down the steps of white marble, and walked into the snow and flying flakes step by step. Tang Wufu wanted to pass the sedan chair, the Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, her red gold headdress was full of snowflakes in a moment, she slowly walked out of the heart cultivation gate step by step, slowly walked past the solemn soldiers of the Eight Banners Guard Barracks, and slowly walked under the vermilion palace wall, the vermilion palace wall looked extremely gloomy and bloody at night, like the blood spit out by her own son. The eunuchs and palace maids who served in Shoukang Palace followed behind. Walking silently with his head down, a guard leader walked over quickly and saluted, "Empress Dowager Qiqi, Deling and Wang Qingqi have been detained in the West Third Institute." ”

"Wang Qingqi doesn't care about it for the time being, this matter has nothing to do with him, how to deal with Deling? I remember that he had kung fu in him. The Queen Mother said.

"The anesthetic has been instilled," the guard replied, bowing his head. "With the addition of shackles, it must be worry-free."

"Did this slut resist?"

"Nope."

"Let's go see him." Empress Dowager Cixi said indifferently, "I want to know what the hell is going on." ”

De Ling sat cross-legged on the kang, not worried at all because of the shackles on his limbs, and lit several oil lamps indoors, shining every wrinkle on his face clearly, De Ling was no longer gloomy as before. The whole person relaxed, leisurely, as if remembering a lot of the past, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the door was immediately babbled open. The Queen Mother in a crimson flag dress entered this humble apartment, she saw De Ling, her face showed a look of disgust, the guards and Tang Wufu wanted to withdraw, "You guys accompany me, between me and De Ling, there has never been any news that is unpleasant." If you weren't there, I wouldn't have dared to be alone in this place. ”

"The slave has saluted the Queen Mother," Deling bowed slightly, "It's just that my body is inconvenient and I can't salute." ”

Several guards said yes, standing behind the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother looked at De Ling, her eyes were full of hatred, "Your great gift, I really can't stand it, for your great gift, the emperor has a breath left in the Palace of Nourishing Heart." Say, I'd love to know why. ”

"The emperor is almost over, is the queen mother sad?" Deling didn't answer Cixi's question, and said leisurely, "This is your only son and the only son of the first emperor. ”……

The Empress Dowager Ci'an immediately took the concubines and concubines of the palace to incense the gods and Buddhas, the first place is in the east of the apse of Ningshou Palace, the Fanhua Building and the Buddha Day Building in the Jingfu Gate; The second place is in Cining Palace, there are several Buddhist halls here, the queen mother of the two palaces often comes to bow to the front of the main hall, the one in the east of the left gate of Huiyin; In addition, there are three, mainly Yuhua Pavilion, in the Ninghua Gate, the pavilion is three layers, the upper layer is for the five Buddhas of Huanxi, the lower layer is for the Buddha of the West Heaven, this is still the remains of the former Ming Dynasty, there are brain bone lamps, human bone flutes and other magic instruments, in the Empress Dowager Ci'an, almost the evil demons are outside, usually extinct, but at this time to be cared for by the gods, in order to pray for the emperor to take the medicine early, she willingly kowtowed to the incense, and prayed for a long time.

Concubine Yungui knelt on the ground, not feeling that those Buddha bones were particularly terrifying in the night, and Concubine Ligui also had the courage to lean on Concubine Yungui's side and prayed silently, "The gods and Buddhas of the heavens, please send down mercy, so that the dragon body is healthy, and the disease is far away, the believer is willing to replace it with her body, and she is fearless of any death and illness, and I only wish the Son of Heaven to be healthy." A low voice sounded, Concubine Ligui turned her face and looked at the noble man behind her, who threw herself to the ground and knelt down again and again, "I only wish the Son of Heaven is healthy." Concubine Ligui's heart moved, "This noble person is sincere to the emperor." ”

Several women knelt silently in the Yuhua Pavilion, kneeling for a long time, it seemed that their bodies were already stiff, Yun Guifei felt that Concubine Li's body was trembling, "Queen Mother, let's go back to the palace, it's not a matter here, and I will go to Baohua Hall tomorrow to make incense." ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an nodded, got up and stood up, the nobles hurriedly supported her, a few people rained in the Flower Pavilion, the snow was still flying all over the sky, and a eunuch stumbled over, "Too, the Queen Mother!" ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an's heart tightened, "What's the matter?" Is it the emperor's side? ”

"No, it's not," the eunuch knelt on the ground, "it's not Banzai, it's the queen!" ”

"You have no enmity with me," the Empress Dowager Cixi said, "The emperor and you have no enmity, I have always valued you the most, I handed over the Xuanli Office to you, your identity is like the former Ming Dynasty factory governor, the Empress Dowager Kangci entrusted you to me, I also did it, let you follow me, I really don't know, why do you want to do this, you want to put the emperor to death!"
