"But master, forgive the slave for talking too much," Xiao Zhuzi said, "Is Prince Gong reliable?" The slave was cowardly, afraid that he and Prince Rui were in the same group, so he would fall into the net if he found him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Definitely not," said the Empress Dowager Cixi, "the edict removed Prince Gong from his positions as the head of the parliamentary king, the minister of military aircraft, etc., and he appeared in this place again, it must not be with them, otherwise anyone, even if he holds the military power, will not dare not guard the center at this time, otherwise Prince Rui and Prince Yu will inevitably take advantage of this opportunity to seize power, if today is an edict to Prince Gong to supervise the country, or he simply set himself up as the emperor, I believe that Prince Gong is the ghost, but he was opened, indicating that this time must have nothing to do with him, I have to find someone to rely on now, I know it must be very dangerous, but there is no way, it must be so," the Empress Dowager Cixi instructed, "Be careful when you go, a few anti-thieves have not yet made a move against Prince Gong at this time, but they must have quietly sent someone to monitor them, even if Prince Gong and I are single-minded, there are no soldiers in our hands at this time, and we can't resist those dog thieves, what should I do, think about not startling the snake." ā
It is indeed a very uncomfortable feeling to rely on others, especially when entrusting your net worth and life to a person who does not know your intentions, but now the Queen Mother has no choice, she must find an alliance in order to get out of the current predicament, what if Prince Gong does not dare to face himself? What if Prince Gong is really as Xiao Zhuzi said, not worth believing? It's easy to talk about everything and then move, but it's so hard to do!
"Xiao Xiazi, you go out too!" The Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Master, you can't have no one to serve here. ā
"If they do come to find here, it's useless to leave you alone!" Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, "They don't dare to look for me in a big way now, otherwise how can they say that I am already dead!?" They will definitely stabilize the court and the army, and they will only look for me secretly, I don't have to worry about it for the time being, you go, in case Prince Gong is unreliable, I at least have one hope! ā
The Empress Dowager Cixi calmly walked out of the thatched hut, only to see the woman cleaning the fenced yard, Xiao Xiazi was about to go out, the woman asked with concern, "Big brother, where are you going?" ā
Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "I, a long-term follower, know the coachman in Prince Gong's mansion, he told me just now, saying that Prince Gong is here, aren't I sick?" I don't expect to say that I want a horse, if I can borrow a few taels of silver, let me rent a carriage, and it will be convenient to go to Zhangjiakou. ā
"That's true, but it's a pity that my family is also poor, otherwise it wouldn't hurt to give you some silver," the woman laughed, "Big brother, do you know the road?" If you don't know it, it doesn't hurt if I take you there, I often take wild mushrooms there to sell to the prince's cook, and I am familiar with it. ā
Xiao Xiazi looked at the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Then I will bother the eldest sister, I will be grateful again when I get well in the future." ā
"What is the thanks," said the woman with a hearty smile, "when you are out of the house, it is inevitable that there will be times of embarrassment, so you can help if you can!" She yelled outside, "Dog, dog! ā
"Mother, what are you calling me to do?" A three- or four-year-old boy with a snot nose jumped up and ran in with a black dog, the dog flicked its tail excitedly, and the woman picked up the basket, "You accompany this uncle at home." ā
"What uncle," the Empress Dowager Cixi saw that the woman was so enthusiastic, and her heart was originally depressed, but she couldn't help but be infected, and the corners of her mouth raised, "Just call your uncle, if the eldest sister doesn't dislike it." ā
"Cheng, you talk to your uncle, don't go out to go wild, you know? My mother will come back after going out for a while! The woman rummaged through the basket and muttered, "I don't know how much these mushrooms can be exchanged for......
The Empress Dowager beckoned the dog to step forward, the dog raised his head with his fingers and looked at the Empress Dowager Cixi, the black dog alertly bared his teeth at the Empress Dowager Cixi, and made a sound, the Empress Dowager Cixi saw the dog's hanging snot, wiped the dog with her sleeve, and asked the dog how old she was, what she liked to eat, and the little boy who was called the dog asked and answered honestly, the Empress Dowager Cixi was a little happy, but she didn't feel a little sad, "I like children so much, but Emperor Yingzong died in front of me, and until now, I don't know if I can hold my grandson." ā
"Master." Xiao Zhuzi was also a little moved, but he didn't know how to answer, others thought that the heavenly family was always the richest and most wishful place, but they didn't know that there were ordinary people's life and death, the same helplessness, and the same sense of powerlessness.
"Go quickly," the Empress Dowager Cixi continued to tease the dog, "go to them, make my request, if it can be done, I will appear, if not, then you will not come back." The Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at Xiao Zhuzi with some sadness, "You, hey, you have to take care." ā
Xiao Zhuzi kowtowed, and resolutely turned his head away, the Empress Dowager Cixi continued to tease the dog, but she was thinking about her heart, and suddenly her eyes were red again, the dog sucked her fingers, and looked at the uncle in front of her curiously, "Dog, what is your dog's name?" ā
"It's called Big Black."
The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at the black dog lying at her feet, "Da Hei," the black dog raised her head and wagged her tail at the Empress Dowager Cixi, the Empress Dowager Cixi stretched out her hand, and the black dog spit out its red tongue towards her hand, licking her palm a little itchy, she laughed, "Let's go, let's go and see, what is there to eat at your house, cook!" ā
The woman chattered all the way and talked to Xiao Xiazi, Xiao Xiazi was worried about it, but it was not good to have a seizure, so she could only be reluctant to perfunctory, and walked for more than ten miles, the woman walked like a fly, Xiao Xiazi was a little unable to walk, the woman pulled Xiao Xiazi and walked forward, walked on the official road, and after a while, she arrived at a house, looking at the regulations, it was the house that the prince should have, there were a few tall horses at the gate, and there were a few warriors riding on it, and when she saw the two people who came, she looked at it coldly with disdain, Immediately just looked at the door of the house, ignoring the two people, the woman knew that it was powerful, and she didn't dare to talk and laugh loudly anymore, secretly smacked her tongue, and whispered to Xiao Xiazi, "The people here used to be kind, why are they so fierce now." ā
The two of them walked up to the door of the house, and a gatekeeper stepped forward to ask what he meant, and the woman just wanted to say something, but the doorkeeper raised his head, and seemed to hear a noise in the distance, and hurriedly asked the two people to walk away, "Our prince is back, you stand on the side!" ā
A man with a short beard who was frowning and dressed neatly dressed in a short fight slowly rode from the west, accompanied by a group of people, and the servants in front of the palace bowed their heads and shouted, "The prince has returned to the palace!" ā
Xiao Natsuko and the woman also leaned against the side of the road and lowered their heads, he glanced at the person riding the horse opposite without moving, and was shocked, "Sure enough, someone is watching here!" (To be continued.) )
