In the Yilan Pavilion, the Wanzi Tuanshou Pattern Bubu Brocade Branch Picking Window is delicate and gorgeous, the veil is low, the sunlight is hazy and not very dazzling, but it is enough to illuminate, and there is a small sachet hanging from the brocade ribbon around the waist of Yu Guifei, which is a good smell of medicinal fragrance, "I don't know when this battle will be over." ”

Princess Rongshou and Ziyu sat opposite each other on the couch, staring closely at the chessboard on the top of the small table with their eyes, and said in their mouths: "Haven't you heard of it, Weihaiwei has been lost a few days ago!" ”

I was sitting on the side and asking for a pattern of silk thread with Lilac to embroider the pattern on the top of the purse, and when I heard this, my fingertips trembled involuntarily.

Ziyu saw that Princess Rongshou still had no ideas, so she only gently put down the chess pieces between her fingers, and sighed: "It's been more than half a year, no matter whether you win or lose, there should be a result." ”

I raised my face and asked, "Win or lose?" ”

Ziyu let out a light "um" and said casually: "This war is protracted, the reserve supply is about to be insufficient, and it is meaningless to fight even if it wins in the end, and the Great Qing Dynasty is facing more than one Japan after all." ”

Princess Rongshou raised her eyes and looked at Ziyu and said, "I don't agree," and said, "Since the war has been started for so long, how much manpower and material resources have been spent to fight to win, if our Qing Dynasty wins this battle, the other powers will not dare to act rashly in a short period of time!" ”

Ziyu asked: "Then the eldest princess may want to see how many soldiers' lives will be sacrificed in front of her for the word 'win'?" ”

Princess Rongshou finally fell on the chess board, "I don't know how many soldiers have been sacrificed in front, but I know that if there is a war, there will inevitably be blood and death," frowning slightly, she added, "A word 'win' does not have much meaning in your opinion, but if this word 'win' is placed at the level of the Qing Dynasty, then the meaning is great, a word 'win' can deter other powers, can save the lives of thousands of innocent people, and this word 'win' is also very important to the emperor." ”

I didn't raise my head, and said lightly: "On the tenth day, the ammunition ran out, and Lord Liu Buyun committed suicide." On the 11th, Lord Ding Ruchang committed suicide by refusing to surrender under the coercion of the foreigners and the generals such as Niu Changyu and other generals promoted by the Weihai Camp Office. The foreigners and Niu Changyu and others pushed the town to take Lord Yang Yonglin to preside over the surrender, and Lord Yang Yonglin finally committed suicide to show his heart, "After speaking, I was silent for a while before saying four words again, "The defeat is decided." ”

A moment of silence.

"The emperor must have told you these things."

I smiled lightly, inserted the embroidery needle shallowly into the purse, raised my eyes to look at Princess Rongshou, and nodded, "Hmm." ”

Concubine Yu's eyebrows looked particularly detached under the light and shadow, like a shallow silhouette of a bamboo branch outside the window, "The emperor is really too nonsense," after a pause in his words, he whispered to me, "The harem has never been allowed to interfere in politics, Concubine Zhen should know." ”

Ziyu held the chess pieces in his hand and snorted lightly, "If you want to say that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, hasn't Lafayette been more or less in control of the government and politics for so many years and is unwilling to let go completely!" ”

I quietly raised my eyes when I heard this, and saw that Concubine Yu's nervous gaze had already been cast.

After a while, Princess Rongshou smiled and said: "In the past, this Forbidden City was full of Lafayette's eyeliner, but now the situation is very different, more of the queen's eyeliner," she said, she bluffed forward for a moment, her hands followed loudly, and the corners of her eyes were lightly playful, "Maybe it's in which palace of ours!" ”

Ziyu's eyebrows furrowed, obviously frightened by Princess Rongshou's behavior, and couldn't help but stroke her chest and say, "The soul was almost scared out of you!" ”

I looked at this situation and smiled, "Anyway, after the last time, I'm sure Jingren Palace must not have it!" ”

As soon as Ziyu heard about it, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly said: "That time really scared me to death, I got up in the morning in Yonghe Palace and heard Li Yuan say that Jingren Palace was all taken away for interrogation, and I was about to go to the emperor, and I happened to meet the eldest princess who rushed halfway through." With that, Ziyu gently shook Princess Rongshou's hand and let it go.

Princess Rongshou smiled, "Fortunately, it is timely, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Concubine Yu's face suddenly became worried, and she asked, "When is it, why didn't the palace hear the wind outside?" ”

I laughed, "It's not a big deal, it's just that three days ago, Lafayette called Bai Ge and asked them to ask about the minion's food, clothing, and daily life. ”

Concubine Yu hurriedly asked, "How is Jingren Palace now?" ”

Before I could speak, Princess Rongshou said: "What's the matter, naturally it's miserable, even Zhen'er has been beaten by the board!" ”

Concubine Yu said "ah", then got up and pulled me up and down her hand, and asked with concern: "Have you taken medicine?" ”

I smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, the minion is just a minor injury." ”

"What a small injury! You ......" I immediately glanced back at Princess Rongshou, and Princess Rongshou immediately changed her words and said: "You are like this, when you return to Jingren Palace that day, your back is not straight and you are slightly injured!" ”

Concubine Yu looked at me with pity and said, "It's really pitiful, no wonder the eldest princess let you, you don't want to stay and play chess today," sighed, Concubine Yu said again: "It's all like this, what are you doing in Chuxiu Palace, it's serious to go back to Jingren Palace to rest quickly!" ”

I was about to answer, Lilac hurriedly walked in from outside, her face was full of anxiety, Concubine Yu glanced at her and asked, "I didn't ask you to come in, when did you become so unruly?" ”

Lilac frowned and said nothing.

Princess Rongshou saw that Lilac was in a hurry, so she hurriedly stayed, "What are you waiting for?" He hurried to Lilac and said, "Say it quickly!" ”

Lilac timidly raised her eyes and cast her eyes on me, and she stopped talking.

I asked, "Is there something wrong with Jingren Palace?" ”

Lilac nodded.

I hurried over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ding Xiang said: "Ying'er came over and spread the word that Li Anda went to Jingren Palace to arrest Dai's father-in-law!" ”

"What?!"

I immediately said goodbye to Concubine Yu, strode out of Chuxiu Palace, and after a while, I came back to Jingren Palace, Ying'er and Que'er were in a hurry in the courtyard of Jingren Palace, and the injuries were not raised, the bed was not lying down, and the medicine was not boiled. After listening to them, it turned out that Cixi asked someone to inquire about the last time I asked Dai Chunrong to go to the photo studio in Zhiqi to get the news, so Cixi arrested Dai Chunrong to Ningshou Palace because the eunuch could not go out of the palace, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

I figured out what happened, and just as I was about to go out to Ningshou Palace to beg for someone, Rong'er sent someone over to say that there was no need to go, and Dai Chunrong had been killed by Cixi on the spot.

Rod!

The punishment is afraid that it will not die, and it will not let go of the cane, and it must be swollen and angry, and Xu Nai will be heavily roded, and he will be bleeding and want to die in pain.

A good person is so cruelly punished alive.

After a while, Zai Yan came.

He must have heard the news, too.

I sat under the pomegranate stump in the courtyard, and the glow was as red as fire, as if I was giving Dai Chunrong a funeral, "The emperor knows?" ”

He sighed and sat down, "I just know." ”

I was very remorseful and helpless for Dai Chunrong's death, and said lightly: "It's all because of the slave, if the slave didn't let him go out of the palace to communicate the news that time, Lafayette wouldn't have arrested him, and he wouldn't have died." ”

Zai Yan grabbed my hand and pulled me into his arms, and whispered on my sideburns, "It's not your fault," and added, "Even if it's not Dai Chunrong, it's Gao Wanzhi, and it's Li Lianying and the queen who are at fault." ”

I slowly leaned up, "Li Lianying?" The Queen? ”

Zai Yan said "um", "If someone hadn't mentioned it in front of Lafayette for so long, how could Lafayette turn over the old accounts?" ”

I nodded gloomily and said, "Yes," I thought about it, and then said, "What if Lafayette wants to go through old accounts?" ”
