And what's even more strange is that the niece of the Empress Dowager Renxi, who has always been at odds with the queen because of the competition for favor, Concubine Hui? Lan Xuan also suddenly repented with the queen.

Seeing that the two suddenly regretted their past wrongs, the Empress Dowager Renxi was naturally surprised and delighted, and persuaded them, and from this day on, the two concubines, who were originally in a very stiff relationship, became close friends like sisters, not only did they no longer compete for favor, but also served the Empress Dowager and the emperor together, showing unprecedented filial piety and friendship, which surprised both inside and outside the palace.

Because the queen took the initiative to change her attitude towards her mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Renxi was very relieved and treated her differently than before. After she became pregnant, Renxi was overjoyed and even took her to her side for easy care. Mother-in-law hurts, husband loves, her life should have been happy for a long time, but unfortunately, soon Emperor Tongzhi suddenly collapsed, and her fate changed.

Because she was still pregnant for a short time, she had not yet given birth, and she could not know whether it was a man or a woman, and the throne of the Daqian Empire could not be empty for this child for so long. Soon, Prince Chun's son Chengtian was chosen to succeed the emperor as Emperor Guangxu.

Shortly after the new emperor ascended the throne, she suddenly miscarried.

Legend has it that due to the loss of her husband and children successively, her sanity became a little abnormal, and the people in the palace were a little afraid to approach her, but at this time, the queen that Kirino Chiho saw was just a young, beautiful, kind and kind mother.

"It's ...... Your child? The queen saw the young Lin Boliang beside Chiho Kirino, and a trace of eagerness flashed in her eyes.

"Bo'er, quick. I've seen the queen mother. Chiho Kirino gently squeezed her son's little hand.

Kobayashi Bailiang, who is not yet two years old, still doesn't quite understand his mother's words. He looked up with a little face. Looking at the queen in front of him, somehow, he stretched out his little hand to the queen and made a "hug" action.

Seeing the action of the cute little boy in front of her stretching out her hand, the queen thought of her child, and couldn't bear it anymore, she stepped forward quickly and squatted down. Impulsively hugged Kobayashi Bailiang in his arms, and let his tears flow.

Kobayashi Bailiang seemed to like this aunt, who was older than his mother but was very beautiful and kind, and did not hide and be afraid, but hugged her in turn.

Chiho Kirino was startled at first when she saw the queen's movements, and then she understood.

For the queen's child, there has always been a rumor that the news of the queen's miscarriage was fake, in fact, the queen gave birth to a boy smoothly, but after he was born, he was taken away. Sent to the family of the prince of the near branch to raise.,Since then, he has cut off relations with his mother.。

For such rumors. Chiho Kirino didn't care, but when she saw the queen's performance after seeing her son today, she was almost sure that this rumor should be true.

The same mother, she trusts her instincts in this regard.

"Bai'er, are you tired? Come, aunt carry you away......" The queen obviously loved the child very much, took him in her arms, straightened up, stroked his back, and said softly.

"This ...... Queen Mother, this won't kill him, the courtiers don't dare to ......" Chiho Kirino said hurriedly.

"It's okay." The queen smiled and said, "Mrs. Lin, there are no outsiders in this garden, you must not ......meet me outside," she said, looking at the little boy in her arms, she kissed him lightly on the cheek with love and pity, "Bai'er is good, will you and your mother often come to see your aunt in the future?" ……”

"Okay......" Kobayashi Bailiang looked at the queen's eyes full of anticipation, and actually agreed, and nodded vigorously.

The queen smiled happily, and tears flowed down again.

"Master Queen, it's time to say hello to the Queen Mother." Qian'er, the palace maid beside the queen, reminded her softly.

"Oh, yes, I'm going to say hello to the Queen Mother right now, Mrs. Lin, let's go together?" The queen obviously wanted to hold the child for a while, and said to Chiho Kirino.

"The courtiers obey." Chiho Kirino saluted.

The queen immediately instructed the eunuch to prepare Fengyu, and after Fengyu was ready, she held the child and invited Chiho Kirino to go to Fengyu together, and went straight to Chunfangzhai, the residence of the two queen mothers.

When they arrived at Chunfangzhai, Chiho Kirino was shocked to find that He Yunqing and the imperial concubine Fu Yin had arrived.

"The queen is here, hehe, ouch, isn't this Bai'er, come and let me hug me." Seeing Kobayashi Bailiang in the queen's arms, the Empress Dowager Renxi smiled and beckoned.

The queen who got off Fengyu reluctantly put Kobayashi Bailiang on the bluestone floor, and Kobayashi Bailiang immediately stumbled towards the Empress Dowager Renxi.

"Granny West'......"

Hearing the little boy's immature cry, Empress Dowager Renxi's eyes were full of love.

For the unique title given to her by the child, she did not blame her at the moment, but enjoyed it very much.

"Ouch! Bo'er has grown up again! Empress Dowager Renxi hugged Xiaolin Bailiang, "Bai'er is so good......"

Seeing that the Queen Mother loved her son so much, Chiho Kirino's heart was also warm.

The Empress and Chiho Kirino stepped forward to greet the Empress Dowager Rentai and the Empress Dowager Renxi, and the Empress Dowager Rentai took their hands and smiled and asked them to sit down beside them.

"Bai'er, do you miss Daddy?" Empress Dowager Renxi asked with a smile.

Hearing Empress Dowager Renxi's question, Kirino Chiho's heart couldn't help but shrink.

"Want to ......" Kobayashi Bailiang raised his head, looked at the Empress Dowager Renxi, blinked his big black eyes, and said softly, "Granny Xi, Daddy...... Why don't you come and see me......"

"Hehe, Bai'er, your father is going to do something big outside, and when he finishes it, he will naturally come to see you? I see? Empress Dowager Renxi smiled and patted Kobayashi Bailiang's little hand.

"Oh......"

"By the way, Bo'er, you know what? Your father is making a big deal in Fuzhou this time. Empress Dowager Renxi said with a smile while teasing Xiao Lin Bailiang.

Hearing this sentence of the Empress Dowager Renxi, Kirino Chiho's heart was shocked, and her eyes involuntarily looked at He Yunqing, but she saw He Yunqing's expression at ease. Her gaze turned to Empress Dowager Renxi again. found that the Empress Dowager Renxi did not have the slightest reproach on her face. Only then did I relax a little.

"Dare to ask the ancestor, what's going on in Fuzhou?" As if knowing Kirino Chiho's worries, the queen asked for her with a smile.

"Lin Hanpeng didn't go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time, Fuzhou is auspicious again, but there are gangsters who run to make trouble at this time, thinking about ruining this ancestor worship ceremony, but Lin Hanpeng is angry. Regardless of his identity, he took matters into his own hands, punched and kicked him, and knocked down several gangsters. Empress Dowager Renxi said lightly, "Rao is good at kung fu, his hands and feet are heavier, and he injured these gangsters, and these gangsters are not strong, and after falling to the ground, they let the Lin family beat them well, and then sent them to the official." As a result, within a few days, all of them lost their lives in prison. ”

"The gangsters deliberately went to the ancestral mausoleum to find trouble. Even if it's an ordinary nature, no matter who it falls on, I'm afraid it's unbearable. Listening to the words of the Empress Dowager Renxi, Fu Yin said with a smile, "This kind of treacherous person should be such an end, Baron Lin is to prevent the ancestors from being humiliated, so he personally took action, Lan'er feels that Baron Lin's filial piety is really valuable." ”

After Fu Yinshi finished speaking, she looked at He Yunqing with a smile, and secretly squeezed her eyes, He Yunqing smiled knowingly and did not speak.

"That's what Lan'er said! I don't think it's a big deal, is it? Empress Dowager Rentai said with a smile.

"Hehe, after all, it's a human life! Besides, my sister is afraid that she doesn't know who killed the Lin clan, right? Empress Dowager Renxi changed her words.

"Oh? Aren't the origins of these people small? Empress Dowager Rentai raised her eyebrows and asked.

"These people are the personal soldiers of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, the first-class Kejing Marquis Zuo Jigao, and the other is his master." The Empress Dowager Renxi said, turning to Liu Shengyin, the chief administrator of the inner court, "Liu Shengyin, bring the secret fold on Lin Hanpeng." ”

"Yes!" Liu Shengyin said, waved his hand, and a little eunuch took out a book of folds and presented it to him, and after he took it, he took a few steps forward and presented it to the Empress Dowager Renxi with both hands.

Renxi took the fold and handed it to Rentai, "Sister, please see, the cause and effect of the incident are clearly written on it." ”

Intae took it and looked at it, and when she finished reading it, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

"This matter, if you want to say that it is not Zuo Jigao's mastermind, I really don't believe it!"

"The identities of these people have been ascertained, and they are indeed Zuo Jigao's subordinates, but now that they are gone, it is difficult to say whether they are the instigators of Zuo Jigao." Renxi sighed and said, "But I estimate that ordinary people will never have such courage to dare to go to the ancestral tomb of others to make trouble in public, and this matter is still related to Zuo Jigao." ”

Empress Dowager Renxi said, and turned to Liu Shengyin again, "Liu Shengyin, take the fold on Zuo Jigao." ”

Liu Shengyin took out Zuo Jigao's fold and presented it to Ren Xi, who handed the fold to Ren Tai again.

Rentai opened Zuo Jigao's fold and only glanced at it a few times, then snorted heavily.

"He did it."

"This Zuo Ji Gao since the pacification of the Western Xinjiang, is really more and more domineering, the last time Ge Bi's case, dismissed Yang Changjun as the governor of Zhejiang, but a few days, he insisted on protecting Yang Changjun as the governor of Zhejiang, and he had to follow his wishes! It may be that the court may not have it, but he is dissatisfied, so this time he took advantage of the auspicious Rui in Fuzhou to talk about things! Renxi handed the two folds to Liu Shengyin again, "He has a great merit, but no matter how great the merit is, it can't be like this." ”

"It's time to beat him, otherwise, the ministers will learn the same as him if they have a little work, and the country will not be messed up?" Rentai said calmly.

Hearing the words of the Empress Dowager Rentai, Chiho Kirino was completely relieved, as for how the two empress dowagers were going to beat Zuo Jigao, she didn't care too much.

Her heart seemed to have flown to Lin Yiqing, who was thousands of miles away.

Fuzhou, Harbour Administration.

"Lin, have you seen the news?"

Lin Yiqing was working with Chief Engineer Dash Bo to study the design of the new ironclad ship, but saw the Harbour Chief Ri Yige holding a newspaper in his hand and hurriedly walked in.

"What's the news?" Lin Yiqing noticed that the expression on Ri Yige's face was very solemn, as if he had guessed something, and asked, "Is it related to Russia?" ”

"You're absolutely right." The Japanese Yige handed a copy of the French newspaper to Lin Yiqing, "In disregard of the protests of Britain and France, Russian Minister Butzer announced that the Russian Navy would hold joint exercises with the Japanese Navy in Japanese waters. This is a clear demonstration against the Qianguo. ”

"The reason why this Mr. Bützer dares to treat Qianguo like this. It is precisely because the strength of the Qianguo Navy is not strong enough. Not enough to fight the Russian fleet in the Far East. Dustbo pointed to the drawings on the table. sighed, "If our new ironclad ships can join the Qianguo Navy, everything will be different. ”

On his desk were the drawings of the new ironclad ship (actually an enhanced version of the French "Marceau"-class ironclad that had not yet been born) that Lin Yiqing presented to the imperial court.

"Let me take a look." Riyige came to the table, looked at the line map of the ironclad ship on the blue drawing, and couldn't help but praise loudly, "What an excellent battleship!" ”

"In my opinion, the French Navy should also have such a warship." Dashbo said to Riyige. "I have already made a proposal to the Admiralty to build the same warships in France."

"Your suggestion is very good, and I think the Admiralty will be happy to accept it." Ri Yige nodded, looked at Lin Yiqing, and said as if joking, "However, I think the French government may have to pay a patent fee to Lin." ”

While the three of them were talking, a French employee of Dashbo ran in quickly.

"Sir, little Henry...... Come and have a look! The employee looked at Dashbo. A look of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Henry, what's wrong with him?" Dash Bo was taken aback. Immediately stood up.

When Lin Yiqing heard the employee's words, he was also shocked and stood up.

Henry was the youngest son of Dasbo, and he was born in Fuzhou. Because the shipmaster has a large number of foreign employees, in order to work with peace of mind, many of them have taken their families to Qianguo, and Dashibo is no exception, not only took his wife to Qianguo, but also gave birth to a son in Qianguo, but Dusbo's wife died three years ago because of the water and soil, leaving him a large number of children, and little Henry is the youngest of them.

"Just now he was playing upstairs, and when he was going down the stairs, for some reason, he fell down all of a sudden, and rolled down the stairs......"

"Huh?" Riyige was taken aback and immediately asked, "How is it?" Are you hurt? ”

"No injuries, just ...... He doesn't seem to recognize me......"

Dashbo and Riyige looked at each other strangely, "I'm sorry, Lin, I'm missing, I'll go over and take a look now." Dashbo then turned to Lin Yiqing and said.

"I'll go with you to see it." Lin Yiqing had already guessed what was going on and said to Dashbo.

Several people arrived at the shipmaster's expatriate staff family building, and the doctor had already arrived and was examining the boy.

Lin Yiqing looked carefully at this fair-skinned and handsome tall boy, although he looked like a typical Frenchman, the clothes he was wearing were Qianguo-style.

As a result of his long service in the shipyard, Dasbo and many foreign employees have developed feelings for Qianguo, and have successively joined the nationality of Qianguo, and some have even taken the name of Qianguo. Since little Henry was born in the Qianguo, in order to let him understand both the culture of the Qianguo and France, Dusbo's wife hired him a French teacher and a Chinese teacher, and when she died, she still remembered Henry Jr.'s Qianguo homework.

Dashbo stepped forward and took a closer look at his son, and saw that the child had no wounds on his head and no traces of blood, except for the clothes on his body and some dust sticking to the ground, so he was slightly relieved.

"How? Doctor? Seeing that the doctor had finished the examination, Dashbo hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, there are no injuries." The doctor put away the medical kit, he looked at the child's empty eyes, and said to Dustboy, "Maybe I'm a little frightened, and I'll recover after a while." ”

"That's great, thank you! Doctor. Dustbo said, turning to his son, taking his hand, and pulling him closer, but the boy just stared at his father blankly, and said nothing.

Seeing the look of fear in the child's eyes, Dashbo couldn't help but feel a little weird.

"How are you, my dear child? Did it hurt to fall? Dashbo asked with concern.

The boy just stared at him blankly, his lips moving, but he couldn't speak.

At this time, more people rushed to hear the news and were relieved to see that the child was unharmed. But when everyone found out that the child seemed to be stupid, they all felt a little strange.

The doctor also felt something strange and examined the child's head, but still found no injuries.

"The child is scared out of his soul, and he has to find someone to call his soul, just do it." A soft young female voice said.

Lin Yiqing raised her head in some surprise and saw a young maid dressed as a maid standing in the crowd, staring at the boy with concern.

"What did she say?" Dashbo asked strangely, "The child's soul has disappeared?" ”

"She said a traditional saying of the people of Qianguo, thinking that the soul has temporarily left the body." Lin Yiqing tried his best to use French words to explain to Dashbo what "lost soul" meant, "It is actually a kind of psychological trauma caused by children's accidental shock." Soul calling is a method of healing. ”

As a time-traveler from the next generation, Lin Yiqing knows very well what "soul dropping" and "soul calling" are. The so-called "soul loss" refers to the temporary loss of consciousness of the child after being violently frightened and stimulated, while the "soul call" is to provide psychological comfort to the frightened child through certain rituals and childlike language calling methods.
