In the eyes of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Concubine Hui's performance at this time is enough to compare with her relationship with Ci'an when Emperor Xianfeng was "hunting in the west"!

Even at such a moment, Concubine Hui's heart is still worried about the queen's safety!

The Empress Dowager Cixi personally helped Concubine Hui up, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an noticed that there was still a slight oozing blood on Concubine Hui's forehead, and immediately called the eunuch to pass the imperial doctor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Good boy, don't cry anymore, E-Niang is in charge of this matter." The Empress Dowager Ci'an saw that Concubine Hui was still crying, so she comforted her.

Hearing that the Empress Dowager Ci'an had already made a decision on this matter, Concubine Hui's heart fell to the ground, and she slowly stopped crying.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was about to discuss with the Empress Dowager Ci'an how to deal with this matter, when Li Lianying walked in quickly and told the two empress dowagers, saying that Cheng'en Gong Chongqi had a "special fold" urgent.

Since Emperor Guangxu ascended the throne, the empress dowager of the two palaces hung the curtain again, because the Forbidden City was too hot and humid this summer, the empress dowager of the two palaces simply reviewed and approved the recital in the Old Summer Palace.

Hearing that it was Empress Arut's father Chongqi's urgent performance, the Empress Dowager Ci'an and the Empress Dowager Cixi, who had just experienced Concubine Hui's "one crying, two troubles, and three hangings", immediately thought that Chongqi's urgent performance should be related to Baoting!

The Empress Dowager Cixi took Chongqi's recital, opened it in front of Concubine Hui and looked at it, she only glanced at it, and her brows immediately tightened.

"As expected, he actually went to the Chengen Mansion to tell the truth again!" Empress Dowager Cixi sneered.

This twist and turn is really Chongqi's impeachment of Baoting!

“…… Bao Ting to the minister's family, first pick the harem discord, saying that Empress Xiao Zheyi and the Queen Mother have never been harmonious, and Empress Xiao Zheyi can know her grace and repent, it is Lin Yizhe who took the opportunity of the audience to perform soul dementorship and witchcraft, and cited the story of Qianlong's 33-year demon case as the basis, extremely provocative, also known as Lin Yizhe with Western tricks and obscene harem, asking the ministers to be impeached, all kinds of crazy words, innumerable. The ministers were so angry that they threatened to say, 'There must be retribution,'......"

After reading Chongqi's excerpt, although the Empress Dowager Cixi's face was very calm, Concubine Hui could still feel the anger in her heart at this time.

The Empress Dowager Cixi handed the excerpt to the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and after the Empress Dowager Ci'an read it, she was furious.

"Baoting is going for Lin Yizhe!" Empress Dowager Ci'an said angrily, "He wanted to make a gimmick terrifying, so he pulled the queen and Concubine Hui in, look at what he said: 'Lin Yizhe used Western tricks to mess with the harem', and insinuated behind his back, that is, it was to be involved in you and my sister!" ”

"I just built a section of the railroad in the garden, and it became a miraculous skill, you must not know that Yodo Garden is so far away from Miyagi, and this railway is kept for the convenience of their courtiers! I didn't expect him to be scolded like this! The Empress Dowager Cixi said angrily, "If you don't punish it severely, I'm afraid that you won't know what to say in the future!" ”

"What my sister said is," the Empress Dowager Ci'an nodded, and she reminded the Empress Dowager Cixi, "I guess that Baoting is just writing an excerpt!" ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi woke up suddenly and stood up, "Can't let him go to this fold!" Gotta get this madman right away! She slapped her palm on top of several cases, "Li Lianying! Please enter the garden quickly! ”

"Huh-"

Not long after, the small train of the Old Summer Palace whistled out of the Old Summer Palace and headed towards the imperial city.

It was almost evening, and Bao Ting was writing hard in the study, when he suddenly saw the housekeeper Zhou Sheng hurriedly coming into the study, with a look of panic on his face.

"Master......" Zhou Sheng was about to report it, but was stopped by Bao Tinglian with his left hand.

At this time, Bao Ting was completely immersed in the splendid article he had written about impeaching Lin Yizhe for defiling the harem with dementorship and demonic magic, and he was afraid that listening to Zhou Sheng's words would interrupt his train of thought.

"Sir!" Zhou Sheng saw that Bao Ting ignored him, and said hurriedly, "There are people from outside, and you want the master to take the order!" ”

"Order?" Bao Ting was stunned for a moment, and then put down the pen.

Zhou Sheng hurriedly said: "Master, there is a commander of the Shenji Battalion, who led several internal supervisors to pass on the decree. The little ones wanted to take their names back and forth, but they said no, and they brought people in. Please come over quickly. ”

"The commander of the Shenji Battalion and the internal supervisor came to deliver the decree?" Bao Ting was shocked, and when he was hesitating, he saw the family members on the second gate report in again, saying, "The old man has entered the second gate." ”

Bao Ting hurried over. I saw a military attache who I didn't know walking in with a group of soldiers with foreign guns in their hands, and they didn't say anything when they saw Bao Ting, and walked up to the hall. He was followed by five or six inner prisoners, some of whom he recognized and some of whom he didn't, but he always didn't speak.

Baoting was about to come forward to salute, but he saw countless soldiers coming in, guarding each door, and the people in the house were not allowed to walk around.

Bao Ting was furious, he was a clan, and he had always despised these military attachés on weekdays, and when he saw the other party proudly breaking in, he was already dissatisfied, and at this time, when he saw these many soldiers coming in, his anger rose in his heart, and he asked sharply: "Who are you?" Breaking into the clan mansion in broad daylight, is there still a royal law? ”

Hearing Bao Ting's angry shouting, the commander of the Divine Machine Battalion did not answer, but turned his face and said to an inner supervisor: "Please declare your will, and you can do it." ”

As soon as he said this, those soldiers were all dressed and worked hard, waiting for the will.

One of the inner eunuchs at the head stepped forward, looked at Bao Ting, and said slowly: "On the orders of the Empress Dowager, lead the Shenji Battalion to check the disobedience incident in Bao Ting's mansion." ”

Listening to the words of the inner supervisor, Bao Ting thought of the recital that had just been written on the table, and his heart sank suddenly.

"Bao Ting still doesn't kneel down to receive the order?!" Seeing Bao Ting standing there, the Divine Machine Battalion Commander sneered and shouted.

When Bao Ting and the others heard this, they hurriedly fell to the ground. The inner eunuch stood on top and said: "There is a will: Baoting is disobedient, slanders the minister, and disappoints me. Chin this. ”

After the internal supervisor finished announcing the decree, the commander of the Shenji Battalion shouted loudly to take down the treasure court, and the rest were guarded.

"Everything that is written must be collected and not lost!" Xuanzhi's inner supervisor glanced at Bao Ting and said loudly.

Bao Ting completely understood what was going on at this time, his eyes were black, his legs were weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

An internal supervisor and a military manager of the Shenji Battalion came to the book case first, and the inner supervisor saw the manuscript that Bao Ting had just written at first glance, and he glanced at it a few times, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"That's it!" He picked up the manuscript and sent it to the eunuch who announced the decree, and several eunuchs gathered around to take a look, and their faces changed color.

"It's a good article written by Lord Bao, and when the two Lafayettes see each other for a while, they will definitely praise Lord Bao." The eunuch sneered and said, "Take it away!" Galeries Lafayette is waiting! ”

The soldiers stepped forward and shackled Bao Ting, dragging him out.

The people in the study continued to check Bao Ting's manuscript, and did not notice that a little girl, about six or seven years old, was hiding behind the screen, watching all this with frightened eyes.

At this time, the ladies in the Baoting Mansion were holding a family banquet. Bao Ting's wife, Na Mudulu, was over there and asked, "Hasn't the master's excerpt been written yet?" Tell him to come over and eat. ”

"I don't know what he's doing, he's so concerned that he even forgot to eat." The second lady Li pouted and said.

Sanfu Hu smiled and said: "I think it is an important excerpt, and it can be reused by the emperor and the queen mother!" ”

The fourth lady Sheng also smiled: "The master hasn't been on the fold for a long time, I hope this time I can get an official position and go to a good place." ”

A few women were talking about their joy, when they heard the people from the Mudulu clan shouting in all the way and saying, "Madam! Wife! No - no! There are so many strong people in bootlace hats and foreign guns—the robbers are coming! Rummaging through boxes and cages to get something! ”

Namudu Lu and the others listened in a daze. Seeing Yahuan Zhu'er with her hair scattered, she pulled her daughter Qianqiu, crying and saying, "Oh no! I was having dinner with my sister, and I saw Steward Zhou being leashed in and said, 'Girl, hurry up and ask the wives to avoid it, and the outside is about to come in and raid the house!' I was almost scared to death when I heard it! was about to enter the room to get something important, but was pushed out by a group of people. Wear the belt here and pack it up quickly! ”

When several concubines in Baoting heard this, their souls flew out of the sky for a while, and they all panicked, not knowing what to do. The youngest pregnant concubine, Wang, listened with her eyes wide open, but then fell to the ground as soon as she turned back. When Mudulu didn't finish listening, he was so frightened that he cried and couldn't even speak. For a while, this room was full of people pulling this and that, and it was a big deal. I heard someone shouting again and again: "The ladies and ladies hurry up and avoid it, and the people who raided the house have come in!" ”

The back house of the Bao Ting family was in a mess, and no one noticed that the little girl named Jiuqiu looked at all this with a pale face and extreme horror......

"How? Any news? ”

Seeing Zhang Peilun running out of breath, Li Hongzao couldn't wait to step forward and asked anxiously.

"Zhupo said that he was caught in the garden, and Prince Gong sent the hand of the god machine battalion, saying that it was the order of the Queen Mother." Zhang Peilun wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, gasped and said.

"The will of the Queen Mother? What is the reason for this? Li Hongzao listened to Zhang Peilun's answer, and he was even more burned, "He hasn't said anything in Zhupo for a while, right?" ”

"I heard that it was a vain talk about the harem, which caused the empress dowager of the two palaces to be angry...... Zhang Peilun hesitated for a moment, but still told the news he had heard, "It's just that I haven't seen what Zhupo Folds said, what kind of situation it is." ”

"Talking about the harem?" Hearing Zhang Peilun's answer, Li Hongzao was taken aback, and sighed for a moment, "This ...... Isn't this death? ”

"What Zhupo said, it is still unknown, the students are looking for news in many ways, as soon as there is news, they will immediately inform the teacher, the teacher must not be too worried, hurt the body." Zhang Peilun comforted Li Hongzao.

"If you know what Zhupo has angered the two palaces, I can go to the book to save them." Huang Tifang sighed on the side.

"Wouldn't it be related to that Lin Yizhe again?" Zhang Zhidong, who had not spoken, said suddenly.

"Something to do with Lin Yizhe?" Zhang Peilun was stunned, "What is the reason for Xiaoda?" ”

"Youqiao, you should remember that last time Zhupo was because of the impeachment of Lin Yizhe for marrying ghosts overseas, which angered the two palaces and gave him a fifty-big board." Zhang Zhidong reminded Zhang Peilun, "Zhupo is a humiliation in his life, and he hates Lin Yizhe deeply. ”

"Impeachment of Lin Yizhe? What topics can you do this time? Zhang Peilun thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Those who can use it are nothing more than railways, ships, foreign studies and other topics, these numbers have all been seen in the country is an edict, and they cannot be changed, what good topics can he find in Zhupo?" ”

"This matter is related to the palace, could it be ......" Zhang Zhidong looked at Zhang Peilun, and finally didn't say the following words.

Hearing Zhang Zhidong's half-cut words, Zhang Peilun and Huang Tifang were a little strange, and were about to ask again, just at this time, a maid in Li Hongzao's mansion stepped forward to pour tea for a few of them, Zhang Zhidong's eyes fell on her, turned a few times, and then turned to Zhang Peilun and nodded.

Zhang Peilun immediately understood what Zhang Zhidong meant, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

Zhang Zhidong's meaning refers to the topic of Bao Ting's search, which is likely to be a matter of men and women in the palace!

"No, no, no! Although Lin Yizhe has a lustful reputation outside, but looking at his behavior, he has the style of a gentleman, and Tao Shi also said that Lin Yizhe has the style of an ancient gentleman, although he likes women, he is a young man, and he is not a lewd person, and the maids at home are also treated with courtesy, and they will not stop here! Zhang Peilun shook his head and said.

After listening to Zhang Peilun's analysis, Zhang Zhidong, who had a good impression of Lin Yizhe, also felt a little ridiculous, and the matter involved the palace ban, so it was better not to say more, so he didn't say it anymore.

Just when these Qingliu fellow Daoists of Baoting were worried and at a loss, Baoting had been sent to the Old Summer Palace.

Zhang Zhidong wouldn't have thought that in fact, he had already guessed eight or nine just now, but he couldn't know that the fate of Baoting had no possibility of recovery.

"Bao Ting! You're so daring! ”

After reading Bao Ting's recital, the Empress Dowager Cixi felt that the liver qi in her abdomen was rising, and she was in pain, she looked at Bao Ting angrily, and threw Bao Ting's recital into Li Lianying's arms.

"Sister, take a look, look at what he says about the palace in this fold!"

The Empress Dowager Ci'an took the fold presented by Li Lianying and looked at it, and after only looking at it for a while, her body began to tremble.

"Come on! Give him a slap in the face! ”

Bao Ting was startled and was about to argue, when two eunuchs came over, grabbed his arm, held him down firmly, and knelt on the ground. Another strong eunuch stepped forward and slapped him vigorously.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

There were two crisp sounds, and two loud slaps were thrown on Bao Ting's white and tender face, and five fingerprints immediately appeared.

The two slaps were so hard and heavy that Bao Ting's face immediately became red and swollen.

"It's getting worse and worse! Where can you hit it with your hands? With guys! The Empress Dowager Ci'an was obviously furious, and shouted loudly, "Really fight!" Don't just kill it! ”

Seeing a eunuch come forward with a short bamboo board in his hand, Bao Ting almost fainted - of course he recognized it, this was a torture instrument specially used for slapping his mouth!

The previous eunuch took the bamboo plank, and again and again, the left and right bows were put on Bao Ting's mouth, making a crisp sound.

Because the eunuch used enough strength, crackling mercilessly on Bao Ting's face, accompanied by flying blood spots, emitting a series of crisp sounds like burning firecrackers.

At first, Bao Ting only felt a sharp pain in his mouth, but as the blow of the bamboo board became faster and faster, his mouth gradually became numb, and his head felt dizzy.

Fifty bamboo slaps and mouths, Bao Ting was already covered with blood, almost fainted, seeing that he was about to faint, another little eunuch carried the basin of water and poured it on his head, Bao Ting hit a spirit, and immediately came to his senses.

This lucidity didn't matter, and there was an unbearable pain in his mouth again. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and seven or eight teeth mixed with blood were scattered on the ground.

"These fifty mouths are to give you a long memory, don't let you talk nonsense!" Empress Dowager Cixi glared at Bao Ting angrily and said sharply, "If it weren't for the fact that you are the clan of the Aixin Jueluo family, I would have cut off your head long ago!" ”

"Someone! Burn this fold. The Empress Dowager Ci'an saw that Bao Ting's mouth was already full of blood and she couldn't speak, but she still looked at the manuscript with reluctant eyes, and her anger rose again, and she ordered loudly.

Li Lianying responded, hurriedly took a copper brazier with her own hands, and put Baoting's recital into the brazier and lit it.

Seeing the flames of the brazier, Bao Ting struggled violently, his mouth let out a "hmm" sound, and his eyes widened, almost jumping out of his sockets.

Seeing that his fatal blow to Lin Yizhe was in vain, he was already delirious, and he wanted to scold, but because his tongue had already hit his teeth in the bamboo board blow just now, he couldn't make a sound at all.

Seeing Baoting's appearance, the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Ci'an felt a mouthful of evil in their chests.

"Someone! Send him to the Zongren Mansion for confinement! Summoning the King into the Palace! ”

"Huh!"

Li Lianying arranged for someone to take the treasure court out, and sent someone to summon Prince Shiduo, who served as the commander of the Zongren Mansion, into the palace, after all the arrangements were made, he saw that he was free, and quickly came to his room, took the pen and paper, and hurriedly wrote a short message, and after sealing it, he arranged for someone to send it out of the palace, and handed it over to send it to Fuzhou in the form of a telegram.

Because of Lin Yizhe's relationship, Li Lianying also conformed to the trend of the times and played with the advanced communication tool of the telegraph.

Thinking of what kind of expression her "worshipping brother" Lin Yizhe would have when he received his telegram, Li Lianying couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Of course, Lin Yizhe would not have thought that he had no idea about the terrible crisis he encountered this time, and that he could turn the danger into a disaster so quickly, all thanks to the "tacit cooperation" of these people in the court!

"The second manager, Lord Li said that he is sick, and he can't get up at this time, and he can't come over." The little eunuch sent to Prince Li's mansion reported back.

"This oil-soaked old loquat! I knew he was going to do it! Li Lianying had long expected that Prince Li would be like this, and couldn't help but scold secretly.
