"I want you to live. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"You still look like such a hypocrisy," Empress Dowager Ci'an was slightly surprised, and then sneered, "Sister, let me tell you one thing, if you can't tolerate one person, don't pretend to give him any authority, or any hope, otherwise when he despairs, what can be given to you is definitely not a simple attack and assassination." ”

"It's not pity you, it's not kindness," Empress Dowager Cixi stood up and looked at Ci'an with disgust, "Death is the easiest thing, especially the concubines in the harem, I want you to live, live in remorse for the rest of your life, live in filial piety to Emperor Yingzong for the rest of your life, live in hopelessness for the rest of your life, I want you to accompany me," the Empress Dowager Cixi lowered her head, looked at the pale face of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and spit out the words viciously, "Didn't you say that I had no hope, and my life's hard work was gone?" It's too cheap for you to die, isn't it too boring for me to be alone? I want you to stay up with me, in this endless years, in this Old Summer Palace, there is no hope, there is no hope to stay up, stay up together, you say that you are the queen mother in your dream, the queen mother who listens to the government, I took you, yes, I took you, but you took my hope, so it was flattened, and then we started again, I want you to look at me, continue to leave those things you don't care about, continue to do what you are willing to do, let you see, what I care about, Without the shackles of blood and family affection, as a woman, as the ruler of this dynasty, what achievements can I make, what goals can I achieve, what can I go, and can I compare with Tang Zong and Song Zu! Empress Dowager Cixi smiled, "How can I be willing to let you die?" And if you die? Who will accompany me to relieve this infinite loneliness? ”

"So you have to live, but you can't leave the Changchun Immortal Pavilion," the Empress Dowager Cixi stood up and turned to go out, "You will always be sick and recuperate, and stay here with peace of mind, tomorrow will be a good day for the emperor to ascend the throne, but you can't see it." ”

"Your close palace people have been killed, and the rest of the people have been dismissed from the palace, and there will be other people to take care of you in the future, you are right, your father and I are still important, and we can't easily denounce you, you can rest assured that you are recuperating." After the Empress Dowager Cixi finished speaking, she walked out of the door without looking back, the Empress Dowager Ci'an just cried in a low voice behind her and did not speak, the Empress Dowager Cixi walked out of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, and the guards stationed here came to kowtow and say goodbye, "Don't let a mosquito fly out of here, do you hear?" ”

"Huh!"

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was silent in the hall for a long time, hehe smiled, she slowly stood up, tied the door bolt, picked up the candlestick in front of the Buddha, the white candle burned with a faint light, she put the candle flame on the silk curtain, the faint flame became larger, the tongue of fire slowly rose, lit the wooden utensils and doors and windows in the hall, she knelt in front of Guanyin, muttered in her mouth, regardless of the surrounding fire and black smoke.

Bodhisattva, if there is an afterlife, I don't want to do this thing that I regret again, okay?

The Empress Dowager Cixi didn't pass the sedan chair, but just took advantage of the moonlight to walk to the Old Summer Palace Palace, and as soon as she sat down, she told Xiao Xiazi, "Call An Dehai over." ”

An Dehai arrived in a moment, there was no injury on his body, but his face was pale, he knelt down and kowtowed, and did not get up, the Queen Mother looked at the moonlight outside the window, "Xiao Anzi, why are you doing this to me?" ”

An Dehai just kowtowed, and knocked his forehead black in a moment, Xiao Xiazi was a little unbearable, and shouted "Queen Mother".

"What do I do to you, I don't bother to say," the Queen Mother was a little disheartened, "I wonder why they broke through the outer defense of the Old Summer Palace so quickly, it turned out that it was you, Gonggong An gave them the waist card." ”

Xiao Xiazi was furious, it turned out to be so, so he snorted coldly, turned his head, and stopped speaking for An Dehai, An Dehai raised his head, his face was pale and desperate, "It's a slave, isn't it, please give the Queen Mother death." ”

"I want to hear an explanation!" The Empress Dowager Cixi slapped the table, "I have nothing to say if someone else betrayed me, why are you like this!" I'm going to hear an explanation, are you worthy of me? Worthy of the sails? ”

An Dehai straightened his spine, "It's the slave who is useless and has failed the Queen Mother's grace." ”

"Why don't you want to tell me the truth," the Empress Dowager Cixi despaired, "am I so unkind?" ”

Xiao Zhuzi came in and gave the Empress Dowager Cixi a fold, and after seeing the contents clearly, the Empress Dowager collapsed on the kang, "I see, I see!" ”

An Dehai kowtowed again, "Please punish me alone!" ”

"Who arranged for your family?" The Empress Dowager Cixi slapped the table, "You say! I want to hear you tell the truth! ”

"It's Father-in-law," An Dehai gritted his teeth and said, "He married me a daughter-in-law, that woman is too similar and too similar, I can't help but become a relative," An Dehai cried silently, "That day I rested in the outer house, and when I returned to the Internal Affairs Office, I found that I had no waist card, and at night I learned that there had been a big change in the garden, presumably she secretly took it and gave it to others." ”

"Who does that woman look like?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked.

An Dehai knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak, Xiao Zhuzi sighed, "Like Sister Fan'er, it's almost identical." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi was slightly stunned, and did not speak for a long time, "Wronged, wronged!" Speaking of which, your waist card is useless, but in the end it is convenient for them, you don't have the intention of harming me, I won't kill you, that lady of yours, probably doesn't know the inside story, just obeys orders, where is she? The Empress Dowager Cixi asked Xiao Zhuzi, "It was in the house, and she didn't escape." ”

"Let her fend for herself, Xiao Anzi, you were not careful and almost killed me, I don't allow you to stay in the palace," the Empress Dowager Cixi put down her fold and slowly walked into the inner hall, "You go to Hepu, wait until you grow the red Nanzhu, and then come back." ”

An Dehai burst into tears, knocked his head three times, and then turned around and wiped his tears and walked out.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was about to lie down and rest for a while, but unexpectedly, things came again, "The Empress Dowager!" The eunuch who was waiting outside ran in, "The Changchun Immortal Pavilion is out of the water!" ”

She slowly walked out of the Old Summer Palace Palace, and looked towards the southwest corner, where the Changchun Immortal Pavilion was slightly red in the air, and there were a few fire snakes flying in the air, and the face of the Empress Dowager Cixi was shining by the firelight, "It's so beautiful, just like when I entered the palace that year, the sky was slightly bright." The Queen Mother muttered.

"Please the Queen Mother's order, do you want to rescue people?"

"She wants to die herself, just let her go, cut off the nearby palace, don't let the fire spread, I don't want to burn the Old Summer Palace again." Empress Dowager Cixi turned around and returned to the dormitory, "This is her own death, not that I want to kill her." ”

"Huh!"

In August, the emperor said "filial piety, compassion, peace, Yuqing and respect for the Empress Tianzuo Shengxian".

On June 17, the 14th year of Tongzhi, the heir emperor Zai Yan wore the dragon robe court dress of the Tongzhi Emperor when he was a child, and with the support of Prince Xuan and the King of Fujun, he slowly walked on the throne of the Zhengda Guangming Palace. Prince Gong read out the Empress Dowager's decree, and Aixin Jueluo Zaiyan officially succeeded him as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, with the year name "Guangxu", and the yuan was changed from this year.

The ministers worshiped the mountain and shouted long live, Zai Xiang sat on the throne ignorantly, and the king of the alcohol county looked at the new emperor with mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say. The Empress Dowager Cixi sat behind the screen, her eyes empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
