    The Glory set off back to Ronglu and the Qing army he led in the afternoon. They were not able to set foot on the Glory because he saw Li Xuanji and Clifford leaving, and there was no target on the ship that could attract Ronglu. Even if  There was really an important person sent by the Taiping Army to pick up Li Xuanji on the ship, and Rong Lu felt that it was not necessary to completely fall out with the British for a useless person.

    But he didn¡¯t know that the person on the boat was Xiao Yungui. If he had known about it, I¡¯m afraid Ronglu would also be stuck in a difficult choice in life.  Should he try to fall out with the British and even trigger a second Opium War in advance and kill his old classmate? Or should he let the tiger go back to the mountains and find other strategies.

    Fortunately, Ronglu didn't know about it, so he didn't hesitate. Soon after seeing Li Xuanji leave, he and several officials from Guangzhou left with their soldiers and horses. His main purpose was Li Xuanji. As long as Li Xuanji was no longer captured.  The Taiping Army took him away, and relying on Li Zhong's relationship as Li Xuanji's brother, he could also enlist Clifford's help.  But Ronglu's plan failed. If Li Xuanji and Xiao Yungui left, Clifford might choose another Eastern agent to cooperate with Ronglu out of revenge.  But now that Li Xuanji has stayed with Clifford, Ronglu has lost his chance. Ronglu had not calculated that Li Xuanji and Xiao Yungui would have that kind of relationship.

    Although Ronglu was very proud and left with his troops, Bao Ling did not embarrass the Guangzhou government too much. The British army, which was only one-seventh of the Qing army, made way for a passage, and the Qing army was able to leave.  Bao Ling also had a guilty conscience. He knew how much the head of the important Taiping figure on the ship was worth. The reward the Qing government offered for this head was an astonishing 800,000 taels of silver and a dukedom.  In the eyes of Baoling and other British people, this head is worth more than one million pounds of goods transactions per month, as well as large-scale commercial investment projects that increase by one million pounds every year, and there is also a Petronas that Britain and France are about to acquire in the Russian Far East.  The victory at the Pavlovsk naval port encouraged the British and French forces who were still besieging the Sevastopol fortress in Crimea.

    Therefore, Bao Ling did not make it difficult for the Qing army.  Afterwards, they just submitted a note of protest to the governor's office of Guangdong and Guangxi as usual, asking the governor's office of Guangdong and Guangxi to apologize for the incident and earnestly implement the treaty between the two parties.  This note also fell into disgrace. The Qing government did not express any official response. They simply replied that they would fulfill the treaty and asked Britain to cut off trade with the Taiping Army. So the two sides started a lawsuit again.

    It is in this noisy, divided and combined atmosphere, good and bad, that Guangzhou continues its commercial duties as a treaty port. However, the two sides continue to quarrel and quarrel, and business is still going on. The Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi  Finally, the face of the Qing Dynasty was maintained.  Taking into account the last piece of wealthy money in the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that Ye Mingchen has done a good job.  The British do not feel aggrieved, they are just accumulating strength and anger. It is foreseeable that once the war with the Russians is over, the British will liquidate all protest notes.

    In order to prevent accidents from happening again.  After discussing with Smith, the Guangzhou manager of Jardine Matheson, Bao Ling decided to let the Glory sail back to Shanghai in the afternoon.  Safely escort the big boss on the ship away safely.  The British could not afford such losses at this time.  So the Glory sailed away from Guangzhou in the afternoon, and Bao Ling specially dispatched two warships from the Hong Kong Squadron to escort it.  China's waters have been very unstable at this time, with pirates and smuggling ships appearing. The British Navy often conducts escort missions. It is not surprising that the Navy escorts Jardine Matheson's ships, but the strange thing is that this time it was only escorting a merchant ship.  Rather than an entire fleet of merchant ships.

    Tang Erniu has been very worried since before Guangzhou. When he went to ask the King of the West if he had left Guangzhou, the King of the West looked livid.  Sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the cabin like a clay sculpture, he did not speak, but nodded slightly.

    In the afternoon, after the Glory weighed anchor, Tang Erniu entered the cabin again, only to find that Xi Wang's lunch on the table had not been moved at all, and Xi Wang had not even changed his sitting posture.  Tang Erniu was very worried and tried to persuade him a few words, but he was met with Xi Wang's gloomy and stern gaze, which frightened Tang Erniu so much that he did not dare to say anything. Tang Erniu had never seen such a terrifying look in King Xi's eyes, and it seemed that no matter how much he had  Just say a word and you'll be eaten alive by him.

    It was not until the third day that King Xi fainted in the cabin, and Tang Erniu took the opportunity to drink some broth. Then King Xi began to fall ill, and even in Shanghai, King Xi's illness was not cured.  After the Glory docked at Shanghai Baoshun Pier, Xi Wang was sent directly to the Shanghai Taiping Army General Rescue Hall.

    Only a few senior generals of the Taiping Army in Shanghai knew about the Xiwang's trip this time. Xiao Yungui didn't even tell Hong Yun'er and Zuo Zongtang in Suzhou. Of course, he was going to find Li Xuanji and he couldn't tell Hong Yun'er, and the matter was too big.  It was too risky. If Zuo Zongtang knew about it, he would not agree with King Xi's move, so Xiao Yungui did not notify Suzhou.

    "It's a pity that although King Xi is back now, he is very ill. Tang Erniu's identity is not enough to conceal this matter."Wang Kaiyun did not dare to conceal the matter, and finally reported it to Suzhou.

    When the news reached Suzhou, it was already March, Hong Yun'er was already pregnant, and the baby in her belly would be ready in two months.  In the eleven days before and after Xi Wang left Shanghai, Hong Yun'er began to feel that something was wrong through the secret report from Qian Jiang of the Intelligence Department. Xi Wang seemed to have disappeared in Shanghai. Hong Yun'er then ordered the Intelligence Department to desperately search for Xi Wang's whereabouts.  .

    What happened later was beyond Hong Yun'er's expectation. Bai Zetang refused to exchange information about the whereabouts of King Xi with the Intelligence Department on the orders of King Xi, and several big bosses in Shanghai who knew about it also remained silent.  This made Hong Yun'er very angry. Later, the Intelligence Department finally found out that King Xi might have taken a British merchant ship to go south.

    What are you going south for?  Hong Yun'er has been comforting herself. Maybe he went south to contact the Guangdong Tiandi Society, or maybe he went to check the landing terrain in Xiamen, hoping to land in Xiamen and catch the Qing army by surprise. After all, the Taiping Army still has the ability to do it all at once.  Sending more than 10,000 troops and baggage south.  But would he be willing to take the risk and give up so many things to go south to find Li Xuanji?  Hong Yun'er has been comforting herself in her heart. Don't think about it. He is such a big man and should know the importance.

    Whenever Hong Yun'er felt flustered, she would always caress her bulging belly alone, and say softly to the child in her belly: "Baby, be good, daddy is just going to do big things. He will definitely be there when you are born."  Will be back."

    Whenever she thinks of the child in her belly and Xiao Yungui, Hong Yun'er feels that the suffering she has suffered is nothing.  From the morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy, Hong Yun'er's feet became extremely swollen due to her growing belly, which suppressed the blood vessels in her legs. She could only sleep on her side at night, and she often couldn't sleep well at night.  But she endured it all silently. Without Xiao Yungui around to comfort her, she comforted herself and talked to the child in her belly to distract her mind.

    It¡¯s a pity that when the news from Shanghai was delivered to Hong Yun¡¯er.  The beautiful lies that Hong Yun'er spun by herself were ruthlessly torn apart. King Xi was so ill that he was in a daze. Wang Kaiyun did not dare to hide anything. Together with several generals in Shanghai and Tang Erniu, who had been by King Xi's side, he told the whole story of the matter.  I made it clear to the Suzhou base camp.  Wang Kaiyun and others are really panicking now.  If the King of the West cannot afford to fall ill, what good will he do?  They definitely can't eat and walk around.  The current West Palace simply cannot withstand the blow of losing the King of the West. If that is the case, even if Wang Kaiyun and others act on the orders of the King of the West, they will not be able to escape the crime of not reporting what they knew.

    Hong Yun'er read the official document sent from Shanghai with her whole body trembling. Tears had already fallen silently, and then she tore the official document into pieces while laughing.  Tears fell to the ground along with the fragments of the official document.  She shouldn't have deceived herself. Hong Yun'er's intelligence should have figured out what Xiao Yungui was going south without telling her, but she would rather be like an ostrich.  She buried her head in the ground and ended up hurting herself to the core.

    Under the excitement, Hong Yun'er was born prematurely. Fortunately, she was accompanied by Hu Jiumei and several female officials, otherwise it would have been very dangerous.

    The midwives and experienced Chinese and foreign doctors in Suzhou were immediately taken to the Xiwang Mansion, and Yao Yuan and Mo Jiaina also arrived.  It was inconvenient for Yao Yuan to enter the delivery room, so Mo Jiana went in, but she was helpless with the obstetrics and gynecology department, so she had to help on the sidelines.  Hong Yun'er's fetal position was not very positive, and she was born prematurely. In addition, she was greatly stimulated, and the birth process was extremely dangerous.  Fortunately, Morgana and several Western doctors had been using sling bottles to replenish her blood and body fluids, otherwise Hong Yun'er would most likely die of premature birth.

    Consciously and unconsciously, Hong Yun'er kept saying that she must save the child, and Mo Jia Na had to try her best to comfort her, but Mo Jia Na received Zuo Zongtang's order to save the child when necessary.

    Zuo Zongtang is already in dire straits at this time. The old man in Shanghai has not recovered from his illness, and the empress in Suzhou has given birth prematurely. Zuo Zongtang has never encountered such a dangerous situation since he joined the West Palace. If the West Palace  Both Wang and Xi Wangniang were dead, and Zuo Zongtang didn't know what kind of chaos the provincial capital of Sufu would become.

    Fortunately, a few hours later, Hong Yun'er gave birth to a son. Both mother and child were safe, but Hong Yun'er was very weak, and the premature baby was not much better.  This was very busy for the pediatricians at the Suzhou Emergency Center. They devoted all their energy to taking care of the second son, the young prince, while Mo Jiaina and others tried their best to help Hong Yun'er recover as soon as possible.

    The next day, Hong Yuner finally woke up after sleeping for twelve hours.  The first thing she said was to ask the child. After learning that the child was okay, she burst into tears.  Morgana admired Queen Xi very much. She didn't cry once when she gave birth yesterday. No matter how much the pain was, she just clutched the sheets tightly, but she didn't expect that she would cry at this time.

    Morgana comforted her with a few words,Yun'er was just scolding herself. She shouldn't be so excited and almost harmed the child.  As for why Queen Xi Wang had a miscarriage, various versions had come out the next day, and it was also speculated that it was related to King Xi. After all, only the word love could hurt a woman like Queen Xi.  .

    Morgana didn't quite understand that since both King Xi and Queen Xi believed in Christianity, King Xi should follow Christian teachings and only marry one wife, and so did Queen Xi. If King Xi went out to find a lover, then King Xi would  The queen herself can also go out to find a lover, this is only fair.  This is the usual romantic style of French women, so Morgana doesn't understand the Xiwang couple.

    When Yao Yuan learned about Mo JiaNa's terrible thoughts, he quickly swore that he would only marry one wife in his life, and promised not to find any lover, which made Mo Jia Na very happy for a while.

    After Hong Yun'er woke up, Zuo Zongtang dragged his exhausted body to the bedside. He only said that he would hand over the government affairs to several ministers in advance, and the military power in Suzhou would be handed over to Chen Yucheng, who had just graduated from the Shanghai Military Academy.  To let Hong Yun'er rest in peace and recuperate, Zuo Zongtang himself must go to Shanghai in person, because the King of the West is the backbone of the West Palace and cannot make any mistakes.

    At first, Hong Yun'er was still talking to Zuo Zongtang, but when she started talking about King Xi, her face turned cold, and finally Zuo Zongtang was talking alone.  After the explanation, Zuo Zongtang let out a long sigh and said with sincerity: "Mother Xi, as the saying goes, only when there is a family, there is a country. When the family is in harmony, everything will prosper, and when the family is in chaos, everything will end. Zuo only hopes that after this incident, you and Xi will be together."  Wang Neng can see more clearly, after all, sometimes understanding is the most important thing between husband and wife." After saying that, Zuo Zongtang left, leaving only Hong Yun'er staring blankly at the beam, murmuring  Talking to himself.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
