Cixi raised her arm, gently expanded her chest, stretched her muscles slightly, and looked at the bell again, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

At this point on weekdays, it's time to pass the meal.

"You go to Nanben Dao and have a look," Cixi said to Yu'er, "if she is not eating, invite her to come over." ”

Of course, this was just a kind word, and even if Mr. Kusumoto was having dinner, as soon as he heard the summons of the Queen Mother, he had to stop immediately and rush over.

After a while, Yu'er came back with Nan Bendao.

"You've been standing here for hours," said Cixi, "and you're tired, so go and take a breath." ”

This was said to Yu'er. The palace maid waited for the master, naturally from beginning to end, she was standing, "standing for a few hours", in fact, ordinary things are nothing, but Yu'er knew that the true meaning of the Queen Mother was that she and Nan Bendao spoke, and even herself, the personal palace maid, couldn't listen, so she hurriedly responded and retreated.

Nan Bendao thanked him and sat down, and Cixi said, "There is a matter that I don't quite understand, and I want to ask you." ”

"The word 'ask for advice', the concubines can't afford it, what instructions does the queen mother have, just give orders."

"I'm straight to the point - what's going on with 'bayberry', are you familiar with it?"

Nan Bendao's heart sank, and he owed slightly, and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, my specialty is gynecology, and I am not very good at infectious diseases, but ...... Have a smattering of. ”

"Okay," Cixi nodded, "It's reasonable, it's clear." ”

After a pause, "What is the situation of the parents' 'bayberry' to their children?" ”

Nan Bendao jumped in his heart, and said cautiously: "Back to the Queen Mother, parents 'pass' to their children, it is 'fetal poison'." ”

After a slight pause, "This is a congenital poison in the twins, and there are endowments and infections, the so-called endowments, from the parents who suffer from syphilis first and then give birth to the fetus; The so-called dyeing is to form a fetus first, and the parents suffer from syphilis later, and the poisonous gas is transmitted in the womb. ”

"Hmmm......"

Cixi pondered for a moment, "If the children are really unlucky...... Poisoned, then, about when...... What about poison hair? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother," Nan Bendao said, "most of the time it's between one and two years old." ”

Cixi's eyes flashed, "Is there an adulthood...... Poisonous? ”

"Back to the Empress Dowager," Nan Bendao bowed his head slightly, "there shouldn't be any—at least, the concubines haven't heard of such cases." ”

In Cixi's eyes, the essence is prosperous.

"However," Kusumoto continued, "there are also people who are poisoned when they are about ten years old, but this kind of situation is not too much. ”

Yes?

The light in Cixi's eyes slowly dissipated.

After a while, Cixi said: "'Yangmei' is extraordinary, except for 'fetal poison' and ...... Uh, **** intersection, is there any other way? ”

Nan Bendao hesitated slightly, and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, there is another situation, there is also the possibility of contaminating the 'bayberry' - **** and the 'bayberry' patient's profane pants are in direct contact. However, the Queen Mother knows that this is only 'possible', not necessarily - even if they do meet each other, they may not necessarily be poisoned. ”

Cixi's eyes lit up slightly: It doesn't necessarily mean that you won't be infected with poison......

"In addition to that, there are ...... Is it? ”

Nan Bendao shook his head, "Back to the Queen Mother, there is no more--the medical books we have say that the 'bayberry' is the disease, but 'the poison of Tianxing', and the 'gasification and contamination', these are all unscientific." ”

"Unscientific" is such a thing, Nan Bendao has said it many times in front of Cixi, and Cixi has no sense of disobedience when she listens to it.

What Cixi wanted most was not obtained from Nanbendao, but it was not for nothing.

After Nanben Rice knelt down, he passed the meal.

After eating, she rinsed her mouth, cleaned her hands, and served tea, Cixi took a sip and said, "Let's go out for a while." ”

Yu'er was overjoyed, hesitated slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Please show the master, what ...... What about Li Lianying? ”

Cixi snorted softly.

Yu'er said with a smile: "The master still blames him? The master is so holy, what is the matter, is not like a mirror in his heart? When he arrived in Beijing, where to live and where to go, was that his own doing? This trip was not done, and according to the small knowledge of the slave and maid, it was really ...... And it's no wonder he's gone. ”

Cixi sipped her tea and did not speak.

"Also," Yu'er looked at Cixi's face and said, "The master is looking at Lao Li, if Prince Xuan knows...... It doesn't look good, it looks like ...... The master is blaming the prince? The slave maid thinks, uh, at this point, the master is still ......"

Cixi put down the tea bowl and said calmly: "Okay, let him serve him too." ”

Yu'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to inform Li Lianying.

When Li Lianying heard this, there was a light in her eyes, and she looked at no one around, and shook her head at Yu'er.

Yu'er whispered: "Okay, Lao Li, you're welcome, hurry up." ”

Go downstairs and go out.

When she walked through the "Water Law", Cixi stopped and raised her head slightly.

This large fountain pool, spraying snow and splashing jade, is just like usual. It's just that in the afterglow of the sunset, half of the pond is full of sorrow and half of the pond is red, and the thirteen groups of bronze statues in the pool are facing the side of the remnant sun, overflowing with color and streamer; On the other side, hidden in the shadows, at a glance, the whole shape becomes more and more vivid, as if as soon as the viewer turns around, they are about to come to life.

At the same time, between the half-light and half-darkness, there is also an indescribable mystery and weirdness.

Cixi's gaze fell on the pair of boys and girls riding big fish, the fish's mouth was wide open, and the water gushed out of the fish's mouth, and the boys and girls were all smiling.

You're happy!

The sorrow, pain, suspicion, and betrayal of the world...... Never do your business?

Cixi sighed in her heart, and turned her gaze to the young girl who was holding a clay pot obliquely.

The water is gushing out from the mouth of the can, the girl's beautiful eyes are slightly closed, and her face is serene, like a baby in wine, and all things in heaven and earth do not linger.

When she entered the palace, she was about her age, right?

However, after so many years, counting from the moment my father died of illness in office, when has my heart really been at peace?

Cixi's heart sighed long.

Look at the pair of male and female generals in helmets and armor -

The men's driving, the women's swinging, the men's might, and the women's sassiness are all high-spirited, and it seems that they are about to jump out of the pool in the next moment.

Cixi smiled bitterly.

I once had a whim: one day, the man is Guan Zhuofan, and the woman is herself, standing side by side on the chariot and galloping on the field, what kind of happiness is that?

At that time, she didn't think that her idea was so "fantastical" - the last time she returned to Tianjin, she was standing side by side with him on the "chariot"!

How ironic is it in retrospect?

"No," said Cixi, "go and sit in the Crystal Pavilion." ”

The so-called "crystal pavilion" refers to the domed pavilion in the garden, which is supported by six stone pillars and a marble dome with a group of bronze sculptures. The six sides of the pavilion are all covered with glass from head to toe, and in the middle are two glass doors that can be opened and closed. On the glass door, iron branches are twisted into the shape of various vines and flower branches, which are thought to be framed.

The pavilion itself does not have a name, because the whole body is equipped with glass, and the people of the Guangang Palace are used to calling it "Crystal Pavilion".

The last time he returned to Tianjin, Guan Zhuofan once said to Cixi: "The weather is gradually freezing, and it is cold outside." However, even if the moon is harsh in winter and the north wind is howling, the queen mother can also be in this pavilion, hugging the stove to cook tea, enjoying the scenery and leisure, and there is no invasion of wind, frost, rain and snow. ”

Looking back now, this passage is like a lifetime away.

Yu'er and Li Lianying responded, but Cixi did not move immediately, and continued to instruct, "Prepare pen and paper-pencil just fine; Also, bring the book of protection. ”

Yu'er was stunned for a moment, then understood what Cixi meant, and hurriedly responded: "Yes!" ”

When you come to the "Crystal Pavilion", paper, pens, books, and tea are all ready. Because it was autumn, the sun was setting, and the temperature was rapidly dropping, so a small stove was still built in the corner.

In order not to disturb the Empress Dowager's thoughts, Yu'er and Li Lianying both withdrew from the pavilion and waited outside.

Before going out, Cixi said: "Now that the weather is cold, you have been standing outside for a long time, be careful of freezing-you two, go and add a big one." ”

Yu'er and Li Lianying, their hearts were warm, and they said in unison, "Thank you for your compassion!" ”

Cixi spread out the pen and paper, opened the book, and silently looked at the "abridgement" inside.

I want to take a good look at the current situation.

Then, determine the advance and stop.

She took a secret breath: you can't make a wrong step!
