I can't die

In the capital, when Zai Chun received Li Hongzhang's reply, he felt confident, knowing that the people who went to Dagukou this time were all powerful people with real talents and knowledge, so he was relieved.

So after the morning court, I was in a good mood, and was about to go to the study room to study, but I didn't want to, when I was halfway there, I saw Rongshou wearing a yellow mandarin jacket and braided hair of a Qing Dynasty man, going to the study room Waiting for myself on the only way.

Seeing Zaichun's Luanjia, Rongshou walked forward with a manly salute: "My servant Rongshou kowtows to the emperor."

Zai Chun looked at Rong Shou, who was dressed in men's clothing and looked valiant in front of him, and felt extraordinarily refreshed, and was even more satisfied with his decision, and asked with a smile: "Sister Huang, why are you here waiting for me so early? ?”

Rong Shou got up with a cold expression, then glanced at the people around Zai Chun, and found that they were all familiar faces in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then said: "Back to the emperor, the slave has the order from the Queen Mother to ask the emperor to go to the Chu Palace immediately." Xiu Palace."

Cixi asked herself to go to Chuxiu Palace at this time?

Hearing these words, Zai Chun was taken aback for a moment, this is the time to enter school, if he hurriedly told himself to go there, could something have happened?When Xia Chun took another look at Rongshou, he saw that Rongshou's face remained the same, and he didn't seem to be able to see anything. Knowing that Rongshou was tight-lipped, he was afraid that he would ask a lot of questions, so he had to go to Chuxiu Palace.

Before entering the gate of Chuxiu Palace, Zai Chun heard the silence in Chuxiu Palace from afar, and felt something was wrong.In the past, since Cixi became a widow, she was very afraid of being lonely. What she liked most was the lively and lively scenes. She would often call a group of palace people to accompany her in the palace. Naturally, these palace people were very happy to show their faces in front of the Empress Dowager. This made Chuxiu Palace full of people coming and going every day.What happened today?None of the palace people who came and went.

Zai Chun's Long Nian stopped at the gate of Chuxiu Palace, and then changed to walk. The one who opened the door was An Dehai, but An Dehai's expression was also very embarrassed at this time. Obviously, Cixi might be angry at this time .

"Eunuch An, what's the matter?"

Zai Chun gave An Dehai face, and asked Mr. An kindly.

Although An Dehai knew everything about the matter, he was a slave after all, so he couldn't speak clearly, so he had to whisper to Zai Chun: "Don't ask the emperor, go in quickly. The Queen Mother is getting angry."

Got angry?

In the matter of foreign warships a few days ago, I didn't see such a big battle with Cixi?

Zai Chun thought about the recent events in his mind, and nothing seemed to happen. Why did Cixi get angry?Could it be?

Thinking of this, there is only one thing, I am afraid that Cixi has already found out the secret work in Chuxiu Palace.It's just that when it's pulled out, it's pulled out. The people in Cixi's own palace can take care of it by herself, so why bother asking herself to come here at this time?

Suddenly, a bad idea came to my mind.

At that moment, Zai Chun hurriedly ran towards Li Jingxuan in Chuxiu Palace instead of three steps, and said to the palace people behind him: "No one is allowed to follow!"

The palace servants who were afraid that Zai Chun was about to fall when they ran, heard Zai Chun's words, looked at each other in blank dismay, and froze on the spot for a moment.

Zai Chun ran into Lijingxuan, only to see that there were only three people in Lijingxuan besides himself, Cixi, Cixi's personal maid He Rong, and Zhiqing.

Cixi was sitting high above the main hall at this time, and the anger between her brows could not be concealed. He Rong tapped his shoulders behind Cixi without daring to show any emotion, while Zhiqing was kneeling below, with two sharp objects on her face A streak of blood.

Do you know what this blood mark is?Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that the blood mark was made by Cixi herself in a rage, and a slap mark made with armored hands, which shows how deep Cixi's anger was.

"Emma, ​​what's the matter?"

Zai Chun couldn't help becoming anxious in his words.

When Cixi heard this, she took a slow look at Zai Chun, took off the veil around her neckline, wiped her hands, and threw it on the ground, her aura turned towards her own son for the first time.

"He Rong, tell me."

He Rong watched Cixi's attack on Zai Chun, and felt that he was caught in the world's most honorable mother-child room and was not a human being. Investigating the details of the White Lotus Sect in the Chuxiu Palace. He seduced the eunuchs with false rumors that the Queen Mother planned to go to Prince Gong's mansion today to mourn the little elder brother and secretly observe everyone. The Empress Dowager shot back and caught only Zhiqing absent from work among the palace people, and the Empress Dowager blocked the gate of the palace."

This? ?

Zai Chun couldn't believe what An Dehai said?According to An Dehai's words, that is to say, Zhiqing is the secret agent who is placed next to Cixi?

Indeed, Zhiqing was indeed a secret agent, it was just arranged by Zai Chun.

"Emiang, this matter... Zhiqing is actually mine..."

The matter has come to this point, we can't wrong the good people, and we can't care about anything, so Zaichun can only tell the truth, save Zhiqing first and then see.

"Oh, Your Majesty, do you think that you have been in charge of the Six Palaces for so many years as your mother, and you don't know that Zhiqing is yours?"

Unexpectedly, when Cixi heard the words, she smiled coldly, as if she already knew about the relationship between Zhiqing and Zaichun, but she just didn't point it out.At that moment, she clapped her hands and said to He Rong: "He Rong, show our emperor what we found from Zhiqing. It is precisely because of his relationship with the emperor that our mothers almost fell in love." Got it."

After receiving the order, He Rong hurriedly took out a white paper from the side and handed it to Zai Chun.

"This is paper written with alum water. After drying it, there are indeed no words on it, but the servant is an old man in the palace for many years, so he knows these tricks." After speaking, He Rong took a teacup and dipped his hand in water , Sprinkle water droplets on the white paper one by one, and sure enough, a line of words appeared on the white paper:

"The Empress Dowager is leaving the palace today, Prince Gong's Mansion."

Seeing this line of writing, Zai Chun was also taken aback?Obviously, the news on this paper was definitely not leaked to Zai Chun.In the past, when Zhiqing leaked information to Zaichun, she would pass through Li Lianying first, and then Li Lianying would dictate it. She never used letters.

"He Rong made a mistake in saying something. Didn't this Zhiqing get blocked at the gate of Chuxiu Palace? Your Majesty, where do you think this Zhiqing went?"

"Where did you go?"

It is impossible to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, otherwise Zai Chun would not have known about it.

Cixi's thin armor with a trace of blood smacked on the table: "Shoukang Palace."

Shoukang Palace is located on the West Inner Tingwai Road of the Forbidden City in Beijing, on the west side of the Compassionate Palace, and consists of three courtyards.It is 148 meters long from north to south and 57 meters wide from east to west. It is surrounded by red walls and covers an area of ​​about 8436 square meters. It is a place dedicated to the emperor and the old concubines.

After the emperor's death, the general concubines have to transfer from the original palace to "Shoukang Palace", "Ningshou Palace", "Compassion Palace" and other places.

Since Cixi and Ci'an are both empress dowagers, and the emperor is still young and has no concubines for the time being, they are granted permission not to move to the palace, and the old concubines next to them are naturally packed and stuffed.

"Shoukang Palace?"

Zai Chun next to him didn't know, but Zai Chun knew a little bit that at least nine out of ten of the old concubines who lived in the Shoukang Palace were sworn enemies with their mother when their short-lived father was alive.Thinking of this, Zai Chun only felt very confusing, how did this Zhiqing hook up with Shoukang Palace?

"What else can it be? How capable is this lowly servant girl to collude with the White Lotus Sect? I'm afraid there are still people in the palace, emperor, you have to know, even if you become emperor, in this huge Forbidden City, look at our mother and I There are plenty of things that are pleasing to the eye.”

The world depends on the warm and cold, and the human face is rising and falling.

Human feelings are reversed every day, and the flat land suddenly becomes a mountain stream.

Zai Chun never imagined that the mastermind of Chuxiu Palace was actually Zhiqing.But after he calmed down, he found that, as expected, Zhiqing's possibility was the greatest.With Cixi's way of running the Chuxiu Palace for many years, it is extremely unexpected that there are spies around her. Thinking about it, there is only Zhiqing. Cixi is afraid that Zhiqing is Zaichun's person, so even if she knows that Zhiqing will send news to the outside, He didn't have an attack either, but he never expected that the person who stabbed the gun in the back was actually the person Zai Chun thought he was.

Looking at Zhiqing, Zai Chun couldn't help being surprised and sad and asked: "Did I treat you well?"

Zhiqing heard Zaichun's words, shook her head, nodded again, and gave Zaichun a rather complicated and sad look: "The emperor arranged for people to take care of the family members outside the palace for Zhiqing, but Yu Zhiqing has a great kindness. It's hard to repay this kindness to Zhiqing. It's just that people's hearts are changeable and the most unpredictable. Zhiqingyuan didn't want to, but she was against Zhilan every day, and there was eventually resentment."

Both Zaichun's confidantes, Li Lianying, Zhilan, Xia Changping, and Zhiqing, are indeed worlds apart in terms of status.Hearing Zhi Qing's words, Zai Chun was both sad and mournful, but it was hard to feel hatred in his heart.He himself didn't know why, but somehow felt a trace of intolerance and sympathy.

"What benefits did they promise you? Is there anything else I can't give you?"

Zhiqing smiled wryly on her flowery face: "Yes, is there anything in this world that the emperor can't give? It's just that slaves can't speak, dare not speak, and are even more ashamed to speak."

Zaichun couldn't speak for three times in a row, and it only felt like a big irony to Zaichun's ears.Even with the combined experience of more than 20 years in his two lifetimes, it was difficult for him to understand what Zhiqing said, so he stopped talking now.

Cixi looked at her son Zai Chun, who looked a little lost, and her anger subsided for a while.Yes, no matter how smart the emperor is, but after all, he is only six years old, how can he fully understand what is human heart?

However, no matter what, Zhiqing couldn't stay.

"He Rong, go and call Xia Changping."

Zai Chun couldn't open his mouth, so Cixi herself, the mother, did it for the emperor.You must catch all the ghosts and monsters in this harem, so that you can sleep peacefully.

"Mother!"

When Zai Chun heard that Cixi was going to call Xia Changping, he called out subconsciously.This man would turn into a bloody man if he entered the sticky pole, let alone a woman?

"Your Majesty! It's a fact that this girl has betrayed her master. Moreover, she has been guilty of colluding with the White Lotus Sect. Rong Shou is still watching outside!"

Ci Xi sternly interrupted Zai Chun's words.

Zai Chun stared wide-eyed, and stayed on the spot in a daze.

After Zhiqing heard the word "Xia Changping", a trace of fear flashed in her eyes and her body trembled slightly, but soon she calmed down again.But Zhiqing turned around slowly, and kowtowed deeply three times to Zai Chun:

"It is a blessing for a servant to be appreciated by the emperor, and it is also the fault of the servant if he fails to repay the emperor's favor. I just hope that the emperor can serve the servant for a while, forgive the family of the servant, and the servant will come to serve the emperor in the next life."

At that moment, Zhiqing moved her mouth, but bit her upper and lower lips fiercely, and a stream of blood flowed out of her mouth, falling to the ground.

Cixi saw that Zhiqing had bitten her teeth and committed suicide by biting the poison sac in her teeth, and she was furious: "He Rong, hurry up and see if this lowly servant girl can be saved. You can't just call her dead like this!"

He Rong immediately got the order, hurried to Zhiqing's side, felt Zhiqing's pulse and breath, then shook his head: "Dead."

When Cixi heard the words, she hated her greatly. She never expected to let her die before finding out who was the real black hand behind this woman.

On the contrary, Zai Chun's field of vision was gradually soaked by this ball of bright red blood, and his mind was only spinning for a while.It took a long time before she got up in a daze, and slowly stepped over Zhiqing's body, and walked out of Lijingxuan, only leaving a sentence without sounding joy or anger: "Good luck and bury it."

At this time, Chuxiu Palace followed Zai Chun's servants, and because of Zai Chun's order, they could only wait for Zai Chun to come out.Li Lianying was waiting anxiously, finally saw Zai Chun coming out of the hall, and rushed to meet him.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter? But something happened?"

Zai Chun didn't seem to hear Li Lianying's words, and walked outside Chuxiu Palace as if he had lost his soul.

Only then did Li Lianying realize that something was wrong, and she was so busy that she shook Zaichun's hand anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't scare this servant, it was fine just now, what's wrong with you?"

After hearing Li Lianying's words, Zai Chun stared blankly at Li Lianying, his eyes were extremely empty: "Zhiqing has gone."

The author has something to say: Someone left a message about Jiao Youying before, saying how he could be a think tank with only one family background.In fact, this is true in history. He participated in the regiment training after being elected, that is, organized local armed forces. Later, he was recommended by Sushun and became a very trusted person in front of Xianfeng.

With Sushun's proud personality, he actually admired Jiao Youying's intelligence and talent, and he drafted many official documents between the eight ministers with confidence.
