    After Xingzhen heard that there were other relationships, she smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to gently touch Ronglu's big hand, and said softly: "Si Xuan, now that we are on the same boat, we should be honest with each other. I  I don¡¯t want you to hide anything from me. I will definitely do what I promised you, but you must also do what you promised me. What I hate most is betrayal, do you know?"

    Rong Lu was slightly startled. He felt the soft fragrance of apricot leaves on his hands, and his heart was slightly flustered. He considered for a long time whether he should tell her about Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

    Xingzhen saw his expression was different and asked with a smile: "You really don't have anything to hide from me, do you?"

    Ronglu gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "No, absolutely not."

    Xingzhen hummed, and then said: "Although we hold some military power at the moment, and Zeng Guofan of the Hunan Army will support us, if something happens, we still need Xianfeng's will to be justified. But I am trapped in the palace now.  I can't be by his side. This is a very dangerous thing. I plan to write a letter to Xianfeng to ask him to agree to accompany me to the north to Chengde. Historically, before Xianfeng's death, he had two imperial medals engraved with the imperial reward and the Tongdaotang.  The seals were given to Ci'an and Cixi respectively, and an edict was issued stating that all edicts issued by the new emperor from now on must be printed with these two imperial seals to be valid. Don't underestimate these two imperial seals.  Even if we have an army, it will take a lot of effort to get them in position, and they will leave a lot of trouble behind."

    Ronglu pondered for a moment and said: "Although you are not in Chengde, Sushun is not in Chengde either. I guess that although Xianfeng is weak, he can still make it back to the capital. You don't have to go to Chengde."

    Xingzhen shook her head and said: "Although Sushun is not in Chengde, Zaiyuan and Duanhua are in Chengde. They are both members of Sushun's party, as well as Jingshou, Mu Yin, Kuang Yuan, Du Han, and Jiao Youying.  Of these eight ministers in history, none of them were in Chengde. I'm worried that Xianfeng will really have something happen in advance. Only Niu Gulu is there in Chengde. But he may not be the opponent of those few people. Right now we  In addition to Prince Gong, the one who needs to be closely tied up with is Cian Niugulu, so that we can fight against Sushun and others."

    Ronglu didn't seem to be good at these military maneuvers. He pondered for a moment and said: "It will be very dangerous for you to arrive in Chengde. Duanhua still holds the post of commander of the infantry in Chengde, and Zaiyuan holds the errand of Luan Yishi. Sushun is in charge.  At the reserve of Shang Yu, Jing Shou and the ministers leading the bodyguard and internal affairs are all troops and horses nearby. Although my new army of Shenji camp is also an entourage, most of them are on the outside. I am afraid that you will arrive at Xingzai.  I can¡¯t protect you inside.¡±

    Xingzhen smiled slightly and said: "Wealth and honor are found in danger. Besides, as long as I arrive in Xingzai, Xianfeng will naturally protect me. There are also Niu Gulu and Concubine Jingtai. I don't believe that Sushun and the others dare to go fishing."  Madam¡¯s business.¡±

    Hearing the words "Xianfeng will naturally protect me", Ronglu felt a trace of jealousy flash across his face, but after a hum, he stopped talking, and Xingzhen didn't pay attention to his expression.  Then he said: "And I think that once I request an order to go north to Chengde, Sushun will definitely follow me to Chengde, and Prince Gong will stay in the capital. This will also facilitate Prince Gong's deployment in the capital, so I must go to Chengde, and the sooner I can  The better.¡±

    Ronglu nodded and said: "Since you have decided, let's do it like this. I will send soldiers and horses in disguise to escort you along the way to Chengde. I also have some people in the imperial guard who can be deployed. We and Sushun will  Let's fight in Chengde." At this point, Ronglu paused and stared at Xingzhen and said word by word: "It just depends on when Xianfeng will return to the west."

    Xingzhen¡¯s expression was calm.  She hummed softly, lowered her head to avoid his gaze, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly asked: "Are you happy about your wedding?"

    Ronglu's face trembled slightly and he whispered: "You know, this marriage is just to tie up the Hunan Army. Zeng Jijing is a good girl, but she is not the person I want."

    Hearing this, Xingzhen forced a smile and said, "You don't have to give Zeng Jijing a good person card in front of me. After all, you are already a couple in name. You have to be nice to her, otherwise Marshal Zeng won't let you go."

    Although it was a joke, it sounded so bitter to Ronglu, and he forced a smile and then became speechless.

    The moonlight shone down, and the cicadas were still chirping. Ronglu stood under a banyan tree, watching Xingzhen's graceful figure disappear into the dark palace corridor, his fists gradually clenched, and he secretly hated it in his heart.  Said: "Xianfeng, Xianfeng, even if you can survive this time, I will not let you live. Xiao Yungui, Hong Yun'er, didn't you send assassins north? I will use your assassins! Hum  ¡­¡±

    Xingzhen walked away quickly, but she never looked back because she didn't dare to face Ronglu's eyes again. When she returned to the small courtyard of Lijingxuan in Chuxiu Palace, she looked up at the bright moon quietly and thought to herself:  : "Song Qingyun, Song Qingyun, it's difficultAre you really in love for a long time?  That man forced himself on you and made you suffer so much humiliation. Why are you so uneasy when you really know that he is going to die?  It's not enough for you to get to the top, it's far from enough. You have to put aside all worldly sentiments.  "

    The two people drifting apart under the moonlight have their own thoughts. People's hearts are so unpredictable. Sometimes you can't even guess what the other person is thinking about even the person next to you, but maybe that's why life is full of uncertainty.  The feeling of certainty, and because of this, life is more worthy of people's pursuit and love after it is full of variables.

    The next day, Xingzhen invited Yi?  There is no need to stay in the capital.  At that moment, Xingzhen wrote a letter to Xianfeng, while Yi? wrote a greeting note, in which he briefly mentioned Xingzhen's journey north to Chengde.

    Yi? is Prince Gong. In his greeting note, he will also talk about the situation of everyone in the palace. Sometimes he can even write some about his own family affairs to chat with Xianfeng. The greeting note is not as elaborate as the formal memorial.  It is more like another version of a family letter, so it is not too disrespectful to say in Yi?

    Xianfeng received memorial letters from Yi Xing and Xing Zhen one after another at the Chengde Summer Resort. Although he was nostalgic for Xi Shi, the folk widow who sold tofu, he still missed Xing Zhen after not seeing her for a long time.  Xu Jiashi also gave birth to a child, who was still a daughter, and there were no major events in the palace. Xianfeng agreed to Xingzhen's request and ordered her to go north to Chengde to accompany him.

    A few days later, Xingzhen waited for Xianfeng¡¯s order to arrive.  So he packed his bags and was escorted north by the palace guards. Along the way, there were soldiers and horses sent by Ronglu in disguise to escort him. The whole journey was uneventful.

    Soon we arrived at the Chengde Mountain Resort. The Chengde Mountain Resort was built in 1703 and took 89 years to complete during the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.  Together with the Summer Palace, the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou (now the Western Prince's Mansion), and the Liuyuan Garden, it is known as the four most famous gardens in China.

    Chengde Summer Resort is divided into four parts: palaces, lakes, plains and mountains.  The palace area is located on the south bank of the lake and has a flat terrain.  It is the place where the emperor handles government affairs, holds celebrations and lives. It covers a large area and consists of four buildings: the main palace, Songhezhai, Wanhe Songfeng and the East Palace.  The lake area is to the north of the palace area. The lake area, including the island, covers hundreds of acres. There are 8 small islands, which divide the lake into areas of different sizes.  With clear layers, scattered islands and rippling blue waves, it is full of characteristics of the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.  There is a clear spring in the northeast corner, the famous Rehe Spring.  The plain area is at the foot of the mountain to the north of the lake area. The terrain is open and there are Ten Thousand Tree Garden and Shima Dai.  It is a piece of green grass, lush trees, and vast grassland scenery.  The mountain area is in the northwest of the villa, accounting for about four-fifths of the entire park. It has undulating mountains, criss-crossing ravines, and numerous buildings, pavilions, and temples.  The entire villa has water in the southeast and mountains in the northwest. It is a microcosm of China's natural landforms.  The western part of the plain area is green and grassy, ??with a Mongolian grassland scenery; the eastern part has towering ancient trees.  It has a vast forest scene in the Greater Khingan Mountains.  In the foothills to the east and north of the Summer Resort, there are magnificent temples. These are the Eight Outer Temples, and their names are: Puren Temple, Pushan Temple, Pule Temple, Anyuan Temple, Puning Temple, and Xumi Temple.  The Temple of Fusi, the Temple of Putuo Zongcheng, and the Shuxiang Temple.

    Xingzhen had never been to Chengde Summer Resort in her previous life, but now that she was there she could not help but marvel at the royal luxury.  Then she thought that these gardens and villas would belong to her in the future, and she couldn't help but feel proud. Although she came from a wealthy family in her previous life, many things could not be bought with money, but now she is rising to the top. Once she  If you really reach the position of Cixi, won't all the good things in the world belong to you?  Thinking of this, Xingzhen couldn't help but feel hot in her heart. She had surpassed her father and reached a height that was difficult for ordinary people to reach.

    Looking at the lakes and mountains of the summer resort, Xingzhen secretly said to herself: "With one step forward, you can go from being below one person and above ten thousand people to being below the sky and above ten thousand people!"

    After Xingzhen arrived, Xianfeng was taking a nap in Yanbo Zhishuang Hall. When he heard that Concubine Yi had arrived, Xianfeng ordered people to lead Xingzhen to meet her.  Yanbo Zhishuang Hall goes north past the gate hall, and further north there is a seven-coupled hall with two rooms in depth. It is named Yanbo Zhishuang. It is the main hall of the back bedroom of the main palace. It is also the Qing emperor's bedroom in the villa. It is listed as a summer resort in the 36th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign.  The first scene.

    When Xingzhen arrived at Yanbo Zhishuang Hall, she saw Xianfeng and made a big gift. She raised her head and saw Xianfeng's face. She couldn't help being startled. After not seeing her for a short time, Xianfeng's already thin face became even thinner.  , his eyes were sunken and dull, he was leaning lazily on the soft couch, holding a pipe for smoking Fushou ointment in his hand, and he looked like a tuberculosis ghost. No wonder Ronglu looked at Xianfeng's appearance.  Worried that Xianfeng would have his hair cut off at any time.

    Xianfeng put the pipe aside, waved to Xingzhen and said with a smile: "Lan'er, you're here."???  Come over here and let me take a good lookcough cough" Xianfeng coughed violently before he finished speaking. Xingzhen hurriedly stepped forward to help him beat his back and soothe his chest, and Xianfeng finally stopped coughing.  , Xingzhen asked softly: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look.  "

    Xianfeng smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I'll just take a couple more puffs and it'll be fine." After that, he took the Fushou ointment again.

    Xingzhen stared blankly at the haggard man in front of her, wondering what she felt in her heart, the pleasure of revenge?  Sympathetic pity?  Or the pain of cherishing?  Maybe it was a combination of both, but in the end she didn't persuade him at all, she just watched Xianfeng puffing away the smoke, and watched Xianfeng slowly get closer to death while enjoying the comfort.
