Chapter 9: Almost

The people present at that time, led by Li Lianying, immediately knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and shouted: "Congratulations to the Empress Dowager Lafayette on her immortality!" At this moment, it seems that Cixi's immortality has become settled. The golden lotus canopy is for people who don't know, and it can be seen at a glance that it is an extraordinary product.

Cixi was speechless with excitement. In my life, I have everything, and I have enjoyed everything I should enjoy, but only this immortal life was just imagined before, but I never really had the luxury of realizing it, but now. This lotus seed that can live forever after eating it is in your hands, how can you not be excited?

She took the lotus canopy and asked Guo Zhongyong, "Aiqing, can I take lotus seeds?" ”

Guo Zhongyong immediately bowed three times and knocked nine times: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother Lafayette for becoming the first person to live forever!" "The end of the ditch.

Cixi was extremely excited, and was about to take out the lotus seeds and eat one quickly, at this time Li Lianying stood up and said: "Lafayette slow down, these things are indeed extraordinary products at a glance, but growing in such a gloomy place, no one dares to say that this is absolutely foolproof, isn't it?" If there is only one lotus seed, then you can give it a go. But now that there are a lot of lotus seeds, I am willing to share my worries for Lafayette and taste one for you. ”

"This baby, if you want to eat it, just say it, what do you mean by carrying it for the mourning family?" Cixi said with a blank of eyes, but this thing, Li Lianying is not wrong with what she said, the place where it grows is indeed uncomfortable, and the most important thing is that it is such a full lotus canopy. It's not much to give Li Lianying to eat, but after all, she has to ask Guo Zhongyong's opinion about this matter, she looked at Guo Zhongyong, who is this Guo Zhongyong? Naturally, he knew Cixi's opinion with a glance, and saw Guo Zhongyong nodding with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

At this time, the crowd was boiling, and Li Lianying was even more excited to take the lotus pod from Cixi's hand, and after taking it, she almost used the fineness of serving Lafayette to slowly pull out a lotus seed from the golden lotus canopy.

After this lotus seed was pulled out, even Cixi confirmed that this was the elixir of life, why? Because in addition to the magic of the lotus seed itself, there is also a breathtaking fragrance, which makes people feel that the whole body is relaxed and happy after smelling it. Except for the elixir of immortality, who can have such a miracle?

Li Lianying knelt down in front of Cixi and opened her mouth. I was excited to swallow the lotus seed in my hand, who knows, in front of everyone's eyes, the golden lotus seed that almost attracted the attention of countless people, but suddenly disappeared, disappeared out of thin air, and turned into a puff of green smoke!

At this moment, Li Lianying almost collapsed, and he shouted at the air: "Who! Who just stole the lotus seeds of the miscellaneous family?! ”

But he didn't answer him, the situation just now is what everyone saw, this golden lotus definitely really disappeared out of thin air, if it was really stolen, then it is estimated that the thief is either a ghost or a god. Li Lianying's eyes immediately fell on Guo Zhongyong's body, even the Empress Dowager Cixi felt that it was not good, where could this work? asked, "Guo Aiqing, what's going on?!" ”

At this time, Guo Zhongyong's face suddenly changed, looking at the golden lotus, the golden lotus that touched the nerves of countless people, it was lying there quietly, Guo Zhongyong hurriedly ran over, handed the golden lotus to the Empress Dowager Cixi and said: "Please Lafayette take the golden lotus seeds immediately, so as not to cause any changes!" ”

Cixi didn't know what was going on, but the panic at this time was absolute, she quickly pulled out a lotus seed, the same golden lotus seed, Cixi was afraid that it would suddenly disappear like the one in Li Lianying's hand, and immediately threw it into her mouth, but halfway through it, something happened again!

This lotus seed disappeared out of thin air!

Wipe! What is the situation! Cixi's face was ugly all of a sudden, and she opened her mouth when she started the lotus seed, but this time, the lotus seed disappeared without handing it into her mouth, as if there was really a hand invisibly taking away the lotus seed out of thin air.

"Guo Aiqing! Why is that?! Cixi exclaimed angrily.

And Guo Zhongyong, who has always been very indifferent, this time, his face seemed to become unusually solemn and ugly, he took the golden lotus, looked at it carefully, and then sat on the ground, pinching the trick with both hands, as if pinching something, and the more he calculated, the more sweat on his face was dense, and after a while, Guo Zhongyong was sweating profusely, he opened his eyes, and instantly knelt down to Cixi with tears, and said: "Minister Guo Zhongyong miscalculated, delayed Lafayette your business, and deserved death!" ”

At this time, Cixi was really angry, the most painful thing for this person was that there was no hope, you gave me hope, gave me obsession, and when I thought I got everything, you gave me an empty joy!

"Okay, you Guo Zhongyong, you dare to tease the mourning family! Grab me! Chopped! Cixi immediately said angrily, or this companion is like a tiger. After there was a problem here, Cixi was directly angry and wanted to kill, she only focused on the result, and she didn't want to ask why she failed? Is there a chance to say success or something, just cut people!

At this time, the relationship between the great eunuch Li Lianying and Guo Zhongyong came in handy, and he quickly bowed down to Lafayette, and said: "Lafayette, the slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not!" ”

Cixi glanced at him and said, "When is it, you are still grinding, if you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go!" ”

"This Guo Zhongyong has made a mistake, this must be a mistake, but for such a long time, his dedication has been exhausted, and the slave has seen it in his eyes, Lafayette, you also know, he is loyal to you, you naturally also know, at this time, there is a mistake, so that Lafayette is happy, it is definitely damned, but Lafayette, you think about it, this time the plan is immortality, it is the first immortality in addition to the legendary immortals, the emperors of the past dynasties have tried tens of thousands of failures, how can they ask Guo Zhongyong to succeed once? Besides, Jin Lian's weather, everyone sees it, even if there is any deviation this time, there is also a chance to improve, if Guo Zhongyong is killed, then this matter, who can solve problems for Lafayette? The slave thought, no matter what, I have to listen to Guo Zhongyong about why he failed this time and what he should do in the future, isn't it? What do you say, Lafayette?! Li Lianying said.

After Li Lianying said this, she was also sweating profusely, and she was on Cixi's angry head, this may be her first time, if she was someone else, it was definitely not worth taking such a risk, this person was Guo Zhongyong, that was a figure close to God, in addition, although the golden lotus was gone, but the effect, everyone saw it, and it may be almost a little bit successful!

Isn't it easy for a character who is so far away from immortality to promise to renew his roots? If Guo Zhongyong's head is cut off with a click, then if he wants to try the real taste of this woman's bones, it is estimated that he can only live in the next life.

Lafayette hesitated for a moment, but finally waved his hand to let go of Guo Zhongyong and said: "The surname Guo, come, the mourning family wants to hear it, what explanation can you give to the mourning family!" ”

Guo Zhongyong knelt down and said: "Thank you Lafayette for not killing, thank you for Brother Li's life-saving grace, return to Lafayette, what Brother Li said just now is right, at this time it is indeed Zhongyong who is too confident, thinking that it is a foolproof thing, but at this time there is a mistake, it is really a crime that deserves death, but Lafayette, here and now, I am really inconvenient to explain the reason for the failure for you, he will go back to the palace in the future, can you?" ”

Cixi snorted coldly and said, "The mourning family doesn't want to know the reason, what I just want to know is, can you still do this?!" Can this failure be done next time? If not, I'm going to punish your nine clans! ”

"Lafayette rest assured, the minister already knows where the problem is, please forgive the minister at this time It is really inconvenient for the minister to say, and he will explain to Lafayette in the near future." Guo Zhongyong knelt down again.

Cixi glared at him, and was helpless to Guo Zhongyong, just now he really made himself want to kill him in an instant, but after thinking about it, such a big thing, it is too difficult for someone to succeed at one time, not to mention anything else, at least this Guo Zhongyong's golden lotus does make people see real hope. Maybe it's a little close, and if you kill him now, then there's really no hope at all. Guo Zhongyong said that it is inconvenient to say it now, it must be taking into account the many people and miscellaneous eyes, this kid is at least loyal to himself.

That's it, just forgive him for the time being, and then discuss it when you go back to Beijing, Guo Zhongyong, Guo Zhongyong, you almost tossed out my mother's heart disease, you know!
