Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li's concubine's pregnancy made the word infertility disappear from Xianfeng's forehead, which greatly relieved Xianfeng's pressure of having no children. After hearing the news of Li's concubine's pregnancy, Xianfeng even went to the Ancestral Temple to comfort his ancestors.  Then Li was conferred the title of Concubine Li, and there was a grand celebration in the palace.

    Xianfeng didn¡¯t ask Xingzhen to accompany him for several days. Hearing that he often visited Concubine Li, Xingzhen didn¡¯t care. She spent several days in Chuxiu Palace carefully pondering the strange changes in the Taiping Army.

    Judging from the information she gathered during the period when she accompanied him to review the memorial, the power and fame of the Long-haired Puppet King of the West even surpassed that of Yang Xiuqing, and the Puppet King of the West captured Changsha as early as two years ago, and things have begun to change since then.  history.

    Xingzhen doesn¡¯t think this is the butterfly effect brought about by her or Lu Sixuan, because at that time, the two of them did not have the ability to intervene in the direction of history.  The only reasonable explanation is that this false King of the West or the people around him are time travellers, thus changing the direction of history.  Moreover, after the Taiping Army captured Nanjing, they uncharacteristically did not go north to launch the Northern Expedition, but launched the Eastern Expedition. When the control of Shanghai by the foreign powers and the Qing court was weak, they occupied Shanghai, a prosperous place. Although Lu Sixuan destroyed the Shanghai Swordsman Association,  uprising, but the Taiping Army still relied on strong force to capture Shanghai, and then quickly stabilized the situation in Shanghai without even angering the foreign powers too much.  All of this was the work of this fake King of the West, which made Xingzhen feel that even if this fake King of the West was not a time traveler, the people around him might be.

    Because whether it was the Taiping Rebellion or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, their vision and consciousness could not be so accurate. If they captured Shanghai when Britain and France were about to launch the Crimean War, if they delayed it for a few more years, Britain and France would turn their attention back after defeating Russia.  Far East, by that time the Taiping Army will no longer have a good chance to capture Shanghai.  Moreover, at this time, the relationship between the Manchus and the great powers was not as close as after the signing of the Treaty of Beijing.  The Manchu and Qing dynasties still believed that the failure of the last Opium War was not considered a failure. The Manchu and Qing dynasties were completely afraid of the great powers only after the Second Opium War. Before that, they avoided foreigners.  This fake King of the West must have known something if he could grasp the timing so accurately.

    After the beginning of the spring of the Jiayin year, the Taiping Army launched another round of offensive. Shi Dakai, Wei Changhui, and Luo Goutou sent troops northward to Hubei, Anhui, and Central Jiangsu. The East King Yang Xiuqing sent Yang Fuqing and other generals and the West King's general Chen Yucheng to invade Jiangxi.  Further expand the territory steadily.  And the puppet Western King heard that he had launched a new policy in southern Jiangsu and was solidly consolidating and digesting the territory gained last year, which shows that the Taiping Army's strategy has changed.

    ? Judging from the time it took for the Puppet Western King to change history.  Xingzhen found that it matched the time she had traveled through. She once wondered whether Xiao Yungui or Hong Yun'er had traveled there.  But a problem faced Xingzhen. She was living in the palace, how could she prove the identity of a prince from Changmao?  Send someone to deliver a message?  Xingzhen couldn't even imagine that if the people sent there didn't fail.  But can this messenger see the King of the West?

    Xingzhen was scribbling on the rice paper with a brush, feeling extremely depressed.  Until Kang Qi came and said that the night was already late.  The emperor was not coming, and when he asked the young master to rest, Xingzhen came back to her senses.

    Under Kang Qi¡¯s service, Xingzhen fell asleep and soon fell asleep. Kang Qi saw that she was fast asleep.  Then he turned around and went back to the house.

    Back in the house, Kang Qi lay on the bed and thought to herself: "The little master finally got the favor, but it happened that Concubine Li was pregnant at this time, and the dog emperor has not been here for several days. I am afraid that I will fall short. No, Li  The concubine's pregnancy is a scourge, and we have to find a way to get rid of it. This needs to be discussed with Eunuch Dong." After thinking about it, Kang Qi got up and carried a lantern and went out from the back door of Chuxiu Palace.

    But she said that shortly after Xingzhen fell asleep, she had a nightmare. She dreamed that the long-haired King Naxi invaded Beijing and came to kill her with a knife. In a daze, she saw that Xingzhen clearly recognized King Naxi as Xiao Yungui, but no matter what she did,  Xiao Yungui said that he was Song Qingyun, but Xiao Yungui ignored him and chopped him off with a knife.

    Xingzhen woke up in a cold sweat and couldn't sleep anymore, so she wanted to get up and talk to Kang Qi.  After putting on clothes and leaving the house, she saw Kang Qi carrying a lantern and going out from the back door of Chuxiu Palace. Xingzhen felt strange in her heart, where would Aunt Kang go so late?  Driven by curiosity, Xingzhen followed them quietly.

    Xingzhen followed Kang Qi¡¯s lantern from a distance, thinking to herself, is Aunt Kang looking for someone to eat?  Whenever the maids in the palace were lonely, they would pair up with the eunuchs in the palace. Although they couldn't do much, they could still comfort each other. Kang Qi had been in the palace for more than ten years, so it was not surprising that they would eat in pairs.  At that moment, Xingzhen was secretly amused and wanted to see what Kang Qi's opponent looked like.

    When they came to the imperial garden, they saw Kang Qi walking into a rockery. Xingzhen followed her on tiptoe and hid behind a big tree. The person she saw meeting Kang Qi was Dong Guiying, the old eunuch of the Jingsi Room.

    Xingzhen was slightly disappointed. She didn¡¯t expect that Aunt Kang would be dealing with such a skinny old eunuch. This Dong??Ying herself wasn't very familiar with her, she had only met her a few times, and she didn't expect to have such a relationship with Aunt Kang.

    Seeing this, Xingzhen wanted to walk away, so as not to see the two of them having an indecent exchange of food, but she didn't expect that when the two of them started talking, the word "little master" came into her ears. Xingzhen was very surprised, could it be  Are you talking about me?  At that moment, Xingzhen stopped and listened attentively.

    "The Dog Emperor has not come to Chuxiu Palace these days, but has gone to Concubine Li. Concubine Li is indeed a threat. We have spent so much effort, and if we fall short, it will not be worth the loss." Dong Guiying said in a deep voice, Xingzhen  Hearing this, he was secretly surprised. Who is this old eunuch? He actually called Xianfeng the Dog Emperor?  Besides, what did we put so much thought into? Who is he with?  Could it be Kang Qi?  What thought was put into it?  Xingzhen's face turned stiff for a moment, and her heart slowly sank.

    "The young master doesn't seem to think that Concubine Li is a threat yet. Hall Master, in fact, as long as we kill the Dog Emperor, it will be considered a great revenge. Why do we have to support the young master to rise to power?" Kang Qi's words made Xingzhen feel like a chest.  After being hit hard with a sledgehammer, it turned out that I was being used and that I was just a tool from beginning to end.

    Standing under the moonlight, it was already the weather in May, but Xingzhen only felt that her hands and feet were cold, her weak body could not help but tremble, and her heart was filled with anger, desolation, and disappointment. It turned out that  Kang Qi has been using herself!  The person he trusts most in this palace has been taking advantage of him!

    Dong Guiying shook his head and said: "Killing the Dog Emperor will mean that the Manchu Qing Dynasty will still establish another master, which will not help. What we want is the Manchu Qing Dynasty to cause chaos. The young master Xingzhen has such ambitions and abilities. If she can come to power, she will bring chaos to the Qing Dynasty."  With the political situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, our Tianli Sect can rise again through her power."

    Kang Qi sighed softly and said: "But I think this little master's intelligence far exceeds our imagination. I'm worried that one day she will be in power and we won't be able to control her. By then, our Tianli Sect will still be unable to prosper.  "

    Dong Guiying sneered with an old face and said: "No matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman. Besides, she doesn't know our identities. When she comes to power, we use her power to act, and she won't notice anything. She is not the most trustworthy."  Is it yours?"

    Kang Qi sighed: "Master, I always feel that we are playing with fire, and one day we will get burned."

    Dong Guiying waved her big hand like a cattail leaf and said: "No need to say more, we have come to this point, there is no way to look back, we have been holding back for so long to find such a suitable candidate, we can't give up! I will find a solution for Concubine Li.  Let¡¯s see if we can get rid of her fetus. If Concubine Li gives birth to a baby boy, something will happen. I¡¯ll take care of this matter. You don¡¯t have to worry about it. Watch out for Miss Xingzhen. After it¡¯s done, don¡¯t let anyone do it.  The suspicion is on her. Also, although I brought Andhai into the palace, he is not one of ours, so you need to be careful in what you do, this little monkey is very delicate."

    Kang Qi nodded and said: "Master, please be careful. It is not an easy matter to give birth to Concubine Li. You must take a long-term approach." After that, the two of them discussed some details and then separated.

    Xingzhen hid behind the tree and kept watching Kang Qi go away. The tears on her face couldn't stop flowing down. She slowly squatted down, hugged her knees and shed tears silently.  I thought Kang Qi was a trustworthy person, but I didn't expect that she and Dong Guiying were actually remnants of the Tianli Sect. What they planned was to take advantage of her to do things with her own power after she came to power. She was just a tool.

    After returning to Chuxiu Palace in despair, Xingzhen returned to the house and lay on the bed, her eyes wide open as she kept thinking about dawn.

    After dawn, Xingzhen found Andehai alone. After learning that Andehai was not a member of the Tianli Sect last night, Xingzhen seemed to feel that he was the only one she could trust.

    Looking at An Dehai, Xingzhen gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Anzi, how does master treat you?"

    Anderhai hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master treats his slave very well. This slave must follow his master for the rest of his life."

    Xingzhen nodded, then said with a gloomy face: "I want you to do something."

    Andehai said hurriedly: "Master, as long as there is an order, all slaves will obey."

    Xingzhen gritted her teeth and said, "Send this letter to Concubine Li. Remember not to let anyone find out that it is you who sent the letter." After that, she handed the letter to Ande Hai.

    The Ministry of Internal Affairs sends silk and satin to various palaces every month. After receiving the order, Anderhai quietly stuffed the letter into the silk and satin sent to Concubine Li's palace.  A few days later, news came out in the palace that Dong Guiying, the eunuch of the Jingshi room, had conspired to poison Li Fei's fetus.

    In the end, Dong Guiying failed to survive the sentence and died in prison, but he never revealed his accomplices until his death.  Then Xianfeng was so angry that he ordered people to kill Dong Guiying's body, crush the bones and spread the ashes.  And this case has become an unresolved case. Dong Guiying murdered Concubine Li¡¯s fetus.Who instigated it?

    During the days when Dong Guiying was arrested, Kang Qi was absent-minded all day long, but Xingzhen was still as playful as before. Occasionally, when asked why Kang Qi was unhappy, Kang Qi always hesitated.  When the news spread that Dong Guiying died in prison, Kang Qi cried loudly that night.  But the young master of Chuxiu Palace said to himself in his room: "I don't want to be anyone's tool. I will never be at the mercy of anyone in the future. No one can take advantage of me!" Followed by two clear lines.  Tears also rolled down: "Agui, where are you? How can I find you? There are only intrigues and intrigues here. I'm so scared. I plot against others to protect myself. Come and take me away."  " (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
