Chapter 321: Trickery

The pregnancy of Concubine Li's Tatara clan made the word infertility disappear in Xianfeng's head, and greatly relieved the pressure of Xianfeng Wuhou, after hearing the news of Concubine Li's pregnancy, Xianfeng even went to Taimiao to comfort those ancestors. Then it was Feng Li Concubine as Concubine Li, and the palace celebrated a lot.

Xianfeng didn't call Xingzhen to accompany her for a few days, I heard that she often went to visit Concubine Li, and Xingzhen didn't care, she was in Chuxiu Palace for a few days and pondered the strange changes of the Taiping Army.

Judging from the information she gained during the period of accompanying the review and review, the prestige and fame of the long-haired puppet king of the West even surpassed that of Yang Xiuqing, and as early as two years ago, the puppet king of the west captured Changsha, and since then it has begun to change history.

Xingzhen didn't think that this was the butterfly effect brought about by her or Lu Sixuan, because at that time, the two of them were not able to intervene in the direction of history. The only plausible explanation is that this pseudo-king of the West or the people around him are time-travelers, thus changing the course of history. And after the Taiping army captured Nanjing, it uncharacteristically did not go north to launch the Northern Expedition, but launched the Eastern Expedition, and occupied the rich land of Shanghai in one fell swoop when the control of the foreign powers and the Qing court was weak. All of this is the handiwork of this pseudo-king of the west, which makes Xingzhen feel that even if this pseudo-king of the west is not a traverser, the person next to him may be.

Because whether it is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, their vision and consciousness cannot be so accurate, when Britain and France are about to launch the Crimean War to capture Shanghai, if it drags on for a few more years, after Britain and France defeat Russia, turn their attention back to the Far East, then the Taiping army will no longer have a chance to capture Shanghai. Moreover, at this time, the relationship between the Manchus and the foreign powers was not as close as after the signing of the Beijing Treaty. The Manchus still considered the defeat of the last Opium War to be considered a failure, and the Manchus were completely afraid of the foreign powers after the Second Opium War, and before that they were hiding from the foreigners. This pseudo-king of the West can grasp the timing so accurately, he must know something.

After the beginning of the spring of the Jiayin year, the Taiping army launched another round of offensives, Shi Dakai, Wei Changhui, and Luo Outline sent troops north to Hubei, Anhui, and Central Jiangsu, and Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, sent Yang Fuqing and other generals and Chen Yucheng, the general of the western king, to attack Jiangxi and further expand the territory steadily. And the puppet king of the West heard that a new deal had been launched in southern Jiangsu, and he had solidly consolidated and digested the territory he had won last year, which showed that the strategy of the Taiping army had changed.

Judging by the time when the puppet king of the West changed history. Xingzhen found that it was very consistent with the time she had traveled, and she was wondering if it would be Xiao Yungui or Hong Yun'er who had crossed over there. But the problem in front of Xingzhen has arisen, she is in the palace, how to confirm the identity of a prince on the side of Changmao? Send someone to deliver a letter? Xingzhen didn't dare to imagine that if the people sent there would not be a failure. But will this messenger be able to see the king of the West?

Xingzhen was scribbling on rice paper with a brush, and her heart was extremely upset. Until Kangqi came to say that it was late at night. The emperor will not come, and when the little lord is asked to rest, Xingzhen came back to her senses.

Under Kangqi's service, Xingzhen fell asleep, and after a while, she fell asleep, and Kangqi saw that she was asleep. before turning around and going back to the house.

Back in the house, Kang Qi lay on the bed and thought to himself: "The little lord finally got the holy favor, but at this time, Concubine Li was pregnant with a child, and the dog emperor has not been here for a few days. I'm afraid it will fall short. No, Concubine Li's fetus is a scourge, and you still have to find a way to get rid of it, and you have to discuss it with Gonggong Dong. After thinking about it, Kang Qi got up and carried the lantern and went out from the back door of Chuxiu Palace.

But said that soon after Xingzhen fell asleep, she had a nightmare, she dreamed that the long-haired Naxi King invaded Beijing, and brought a knife to kill herself, and saw that Xingzhen clearly recognized that Naxi King was Xiao Yungui, but no matter how she said that she was Song Qingyun, Xiao Yungui ignored it and cut it down with a knife.

Xingzhen was awakened and broke out in a cold sweat, so she couldn't sleep anymore, so she wanted to get up and talk to Kang Qi. After putting on her clothes and leaving the house, she saw Kang Qi carrying a lantern out of the back door of Chuxiu Palace, Xingzhen wondered in her heart, where would Aunt Kang go so late? Driven by curiosity, Xingzhen tiptoed to follow.

Xingzhen followed Kang Qi's lantern from a distance, thinking to herself, could it be that Aunt Kang is going to find the right person to eat? But whenever the palace maid is lonely, she will form a pair of food with the palace eunuchs, although she can't do anything, but you can still comfort each other, Kang Qi has been in the palace for more than ten years, and it is not strange to have a pair of food. At the moment, Xingzhen was secretly funny, wanting to see what Kang Qi's opponent looked like.

When I came to the imperial garden, I saw Kang Qi walking into a rockery, Xingzhen tiptoed over, hidden behind a big tree, and saw that it was Dong Guiying, the old eunuch of the Jingshi room, who met Kang Qi.

Xingzhen was slightly disappointed, she didn't expect that Aunt Kang's opponent was such a skinny old eunuch, and Dong Guiying herself was not very familiar with it, but she had only met a few times, and she didn't expect to have such a relationship with Aunt Kang.

Seeing this, Xingzhen wanted to walk away, so as not to see the two of them indecently eating things, but she didn't expect the two to talk, and the two words of the little master floated into her ears, Xingzhen was very curious, are you talking about me? At that moment, Xingzhen stopped and listened attentively.

"The Dog Emperor hasn't come to Chuxiu Palace these days, but has gone to Concubine Li, who is indeed a threat. We've put so much thought into it, and if we fall short, it will be more than worth the loss. Dong Guiying said in a deep voice, Xingzhen was secretly shocked when she heard it, who is this old eunuch, who actually called Xianfeng the Dog Emperor? And what did we put a lot of thought into, who was he with? Could it be Kangqi? What went into it? Xingzhen's face became stiff for a moment, and her heart slowly sank.

"The little lord doesn't seem to think that Concubine Li is a threat, hall master, in fact, as long as we kill the dog emperor, we will take revenge, why do we have to support the little lord to ascend to the throne?" Kang Qi's words made Xingzhen feel like she had been slammed in the chest with a sledgehammer, it turned out that she was being used by someone, and she was just a tool from beginning to end.

Standing under the moonlight of Rong Rong, it was already May weather, but Xingzhen only felt that her hands and feet were cold, and her weaker body couldn't help but tremble, and her heart was filled with anger, desolation, and disappointment, it turned out that Kang Qi had been using herself! The person he trusts the most in this deep palace has been taking advantage of himself!

Dong Guiying shook his head and said: "Kill the Dog Emperor, the Manchus will still set up another master, it will not help, what we want is the Manchu chaos." The little lord Xingzhen has such ambition and ability, if she can ascend to the throne and cause chaos in the political situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, our Tianli Sect will be able to use her shili to rise again. ”

Kang Qi sighed lightly and said, "But I think that the intelligence of this little lord is far beyond our imagination, I am afraid that one day she will be on the throne, but we will not be able to control her, and then our Heavenly Doctrine will still be the same and will not be able to flourish again." ”

Dong Guiying sneered with an old face, and said: "No matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman, and she doesn't know our identity, and when she comes to power, we act with her shili, and she can't detect anything, doesn't she trust you the most?" ”

Kang Qi sighed: "Hall Master, I always feel that we are playing with fire, and one day we will set ourselves on fire." ”

Dong Guiying's big fan-like hand waved and said: "Needless to say, we have all come to this point, it is impossible to turn back, we have endured for so long to find such a suitable candidate, we can't give up!" I'll try to find a way to see if I can get rid of her fetus, if Concubine Li gives birth to a baby boy, it will be a big deal. I'll do this thing, you don't have to worry about it, take care of the little master Xingzhen, and when it is done, don't let people suspect her. Also, although An Dehai said that I brought him into the palace, he is not our person, you need to be careful in doing things, this little monkey is very delicate. ”

Kang Qi nodded and said, "The hall master is careful, it is not a simple matter to get Concubine Li to have an abortion, and you have to think about it in the long run." After discussing some details, the two went their separate ways.

Xingzhen hid behind the tree and watched Kang Qi go away, the tears on her face couldn't stop flowing, she slowly squatted down, hugged her knees and silently shed tears. I thought that Kang Qi was a person who could be trusted, but I didn't expect that she and Dong Guiying were actually remnants of the Tianli Sect, and what they were trying to do was to use themselves to do things by their own shili after they came to power, and they were just a tool.

After returning to Chuxiu Palace in despair, Xingzhen returned to the house, lying on the bed, her eyes wide open until she thought of dawn.

After dawn, Xingzhen came to An Dehai alone, and after knowing that An Dehai was not a member of Tianli Sect last night, Xingzhen seemed to feel that she was the only one who could be trusted by her side.

Looking at An Dehai, Xingzhen gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Anzi, how does the master treat you?" ”

An Dehai hurriedly knelt down and said: "The master treats the slave very well, and the slave has to follow the master all his life." ”

Xingzhen nodded, followed by a gloomy face, "I want you to do something." ”

An Dehai hurriedly said: "The master is sent, and the servants are all obedient. ”

Xingzhen gritted her teeth and said, "You send this letter to Concubine Li, remember not to let people find out that it was you who sent the letter." With that, he handed a letter to Andhai.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs had to send silk to the palaces every month, and after Andheide had ordered it, he quietly stuffed the letters into the silk sent to the palace of Concubine Li. A few days later, news came out in the palace that Dong Guiying, the eunuch of the Jingshi room, conspired to poison Concubine Li's fetus and was corrected.

Zuihou Dong Guiying couldn't survive the torture and died in prison, but he didn't say anything about his comrades until he died. Then Xianfeng was furious and ordered someone to kill Dong Guiying's body, and then crush the bones and scatter ashes. And this case has also become an unsolved case, who instigated Dong Guiying's murder of Concubine Li's fetus?

In the days when Dong Guiying was arrested, Kang Qi was distracted all day long, but Xingzhen still laughed as before, and occasionally asked why Kang Qi was unhappy, but Kang Qi was always hesitant. When the news of Dong Guiying's death in prison spread, Kang Qi cried that night. But the little master of Chuxiu Palace said to himself in his room: "I don't want to be anyone's tool, I will not be at anyone's mercy in the future, no one can use me!" followed by two lines of tears: "Agui, where are you?" How can I find you? I'm so scared, I'm calculating others for self-preservation, come and take me away............"
