Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 759

Jingfang hurriedly stood up, wiped away her tears and said, "My maidservant came to greet the Queen's sister." She seemed hesitant to speak.

Guan Xuqing sat by the bed and said: "I asked Zaiyi to go to Taihu Lake to lead troops to destroy the bandits, and I won't be able to return in a short time. What kind of secret association is there, it was just a small trouble at the beginning, and then they dared to print leaflets openly , promote Western democratic ideas, and slander the imperial court. I will never tolerate such people, and it happens that Zai Yi has been in charge of the affairs of the Southern Province this year, so I will give him a chance to practice and see if he can uproot this power."

Guan Xuqing said something, and Jingfang agreed cautiously. She has a big belly, and it is already very inconvenient to move.Guan Xuqing wanted to order someone to bring her a stool to sit on, but he swallowed the words after thinking about it.

Jingfen knew everything and didn't say anything, she smiled and said: "Jingfang, it's getting late and the emperor is very tired, so you should get out. Don't listen to those nonsense gossips outside. Don't I know your character yet? With me standing in the way, no one dares to do anything to you! You are a healthy person, take care of yourself. Just as the emperor said, the man is not at home, and you are my natal family, so naturally I will take care of you."

"Yes." Jingfang bestowed blessings on the queen, cast a glance at the emperor with resentment, and followed the maid out.Guan Xuqing watched her leave the door anxiously, then turned to ask the queen: "You seem to be muttering something, you stopped talking when I came, what's the matter?"

Jingfen brought a bowl of ginseng soup to the emperor, and said to the court ladies: "You all get out!" Then she said to the emperor: "Isn't it because of those rumors outside? Yes, I heard that some direct ministers plan to join hands to persuade the emperor. Foreign newspapers are full of rumors about how the Chinese emperor made gossip and wants to follow in the footsteps of Edward VII. There are also some concubines who just get together to play cards when they have nothing to do. Every word you say is sarcasm Jingfang. I have made a decree to tell her to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors, and she is not allowed to leave her palace for three months. I also want to lower their status, but it depends on your decree. " After that, he took a long breath, looked at the emperor with a dull expression, and didn't say any more.

"I know what they said." Guan Xuqing took a sip of the ginseng soup and said, "I'm not going to hide it from you, Jingfang's belly is my flesh and blood. This matter will be passed here and sealed. Those who don't keep their roots The concubines were reduced to concubines, and told them that misfortune comes out of their mouths, so be careful what you say in the future. Since this happened, I will bear it to the end, and Jingfang must not be allowed to carry this crime without knowing why. "

Jingfen sighed, and said: "Can you bear it, can Jingfang?" As she spoke, she rubbed her belt and lowered her head.

Guan Xuqing looked at her under the lamp, and saw that she was charming and angry, and couldn't help stepping forward to hug the queen's waist, and said: "I know it all, I am the emperor of a country, do you have to look at other people's faces when you want a woman?" ?” As he spoke, he was about to knock her down and lie down.

"Mo Xiang!" Jingfen broke free from the emperor lightly, and ordered outside the door, "wait for the emperor to rest first. Light the incense, and I will rest after reciting this scripture!"

Guan Xuqing let go of his hand in a daze, and his tenderness was immediately swept away.

Jiangsu Wuxi.Zaiyi led the [-] garrison soldiers stationed in Taihu Lake, and had already won a decisive victory over the "Blue Alliance".In fact, this campaign was not what the newspapers claimed at all. Tanks, planes, and cannons were dispatched to the local area. It was a large-scale campaign launched by the Imperial High Command. In fact, most of the opponents were unarmed civilians or people from the world. Naturally, some high-level students returned from studying abroad. Because they were dissatisfied with domestic politics, they organized and printed some reactionary speeches, in the name of promoting Western advanced democratic politics. In fact, most people followed without knowing it. It's just a joke, even secretly instigated by Western spy organizations.

Zai Yi had everything ready to clear up the periphery this time, and he was just pretending to be with soldiers, so there would be no danger at all.However, he was very resistant to this action, because he knew that Qiu Jin, one of the leaders in this organization, had a constant and inexplicable relationship with him.

Seeing that the overall situation has been settled, Zaiyi made Lao Gao feel relieved, and then he felt his legs go weak and his head was a little dizzy. After drinking some tea, it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.At this time, the sun was rising, the breeze was blowing, and there was a faint mist in the street.Zaiyi just took a break at the Wuxi Newspaper Office, the contact point of the "Blue Alliance", when he heard a commotion outside the door, occasionally mixed with gunshots, as if his soldiers had fought someone.Zaiyi couldn't help being startled, a soldier rushed in, pulled Zaiyi up and left: "My lord, there are a dozen female thieves here, there are not many of them, they are quite capable, and they fought with our men. Go out, once the patrol battalion in Beicheng comes up, none of them will survive!"

"Why are you panicking!" Zai Yi broke free from his arms, turned around and slapped the other party, "Life and death depend on fate and wealth, I don't believe that Qiu Jin will kill me! Lead the way, go out and have a look."

The soldier was ordered to come, he was stupefied by this slap, what else could he say, seeing the prince's expression, he didn't dare to say anything, he hurriedly protected the prince and went out the gate.

To the southeast outside the newspaper office is an open space of five acres. It was originally a place for small merchants to do business. After the gun battle, people ran away long ago.Twenty or so garrison soldiers and a dozen or so women in men's clothing were engaged in a shootout across the street.

Zaiyi saw Qiu Jin at a glance, holding a gun in both hands, with blood on her face, she seemed to be injured, but she didn't know how the injury was, she was still gritting her teeth, but the army on the other side seemed to see that she was the leader, and the bullets were crazy Beckoning to her surroundings, if this continues, Qiu Jin may die at any time.

When the dozen or so women saw Zaiyi coming out, they all pointed their guns at this side. The guard soldiers were shocked when they saw it, and someone shouted: "Protect the prince!" As he rushed over, the guards around him immediately hugged Zaiyi and squatted on the threshold.

Unexpectedly, Zaiyi broke away from the soldiers and suddenly shouted: "Everyone stop!" "Xuanqing!"

Qiu Jin seemed to be taken aback for a moment. Seeing that the gunshots on the other side were getting quieter, she stopped herself and told the other sisters to stop firing as well.She stared at Zaiyi for a moment, turned her face away, and said nothing.

"Xuanqing, are you here to assassinate me?" Zaiyi's throat was blocked by something, and he became a little hoarse. Seeing a soldier in front of him firmly blocking him, he put on a straight face and whispered, "Get out of the way!" !", he took two steps forward until he was in front of Qiu Jin, and said in a trembling voice: "Please, die in your hands, I admit it!"

People on both sides were stunned and stood there in a daze.At this moment, as long as Qiu Jin raises his hand, Zai Yi, who has no strength to restrain a chicken, will immediately become a ghost under the gun!
But Qiu Jin didn't make a move. She didn't expect Zai Yi to be so bold that she stood in front of her with bare hands, and she was stunned for a while.She glanced at Zaiyi. When she first met her, she stared at her expression, which was gentle, quiet and tender. Her heart was hot, and she hurriedly forced herself to calm down, and said coldly: "You help the court." Massacre us progressive youths, kill so many of our brothers, you are a traitor, why can't I kill you?"

"I'm Manchu." Zaiyi's heart surged with anger, and he took another step forward, saying, "I'm bleeding from Aixinjueluo's blood. Xuanqing, I killed so many people like you, I'm willing to let you you see my blood"

Qiu Jin's face was so pale that there was no blood at all, and she seemed to want to pull the trigger, but after trying several times, she finally lowered her hand again, sighed and said, "This is fate, this is what God has ordered."

"Yes, this is fate." Zaiyi nodded, and after finishing speaking, he turned to the crowd and said, "You are all outside, Xuanqing and I will go in and talk."

Qiu Jin gave a wry smile, and handed the pistol to his personal entourage. Zai Yi led the way, and Qiu Jin followed, and they all entered the gate of the newspaper office.

"What a strange thing!" The battalion commander touched the back of his head, full of doubts, wanted to enter the newspaper office, stepped on the steps, and then retreated.The girls also stood there in a daze, not knowing what happened to their eldest sister.They had no choice but to wait outside the door for the strange young couple inside.

"Xuanqing," Zai Yi and Qiu Jin walked three or four feet away in silence for a long time, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Qiu Jin raised her head and looked, this is a place she was usually very familiar with, but now it has turned into a charred area, a gust of wind blows through, sending a faint fragrance, it is a peach grove planted by her hand, which has withered now.After a long while, she said: "I think, we are defeated, just like this flower, it will bloom when it should bloom, and when it should fail, it will be defeated."

"I don't want to hear you say that."

"I know"

"You know what I want to hear."

"I know."

"Would you like to say?"

"I can not"

Both of them stopped, avoiding each other's eyes. After a long time, Zaiyi asked again: "Remember that night?"

"remember."

"Remember my poem?"

"remember."

"Listen to me, Xuanqing!" Zaiyi turned around and impulsively took a step forward, trying to grab Qiu Jin's shoulder, but the other party's gaze stopped him.He lowered his hand and smiled wryly, "Maybe I shouldn't, but I dream about you almost every night."

With a flush on Qiu Jin's face, she nodded and said, "I'm very happy to hear you say such a thing. Really, I can't be more happy than anything else. I know that I must die, but before I die, I can hear I don't have any regrets about this." She lifted her big bright eyes, and tears rolled in her eyes. "I am a sinful man"

"Don't say that!" Zaiyi's face turned blood red, "I can let you go, I can meet the Holy One and ask him to forgive your sins! I have great power and influence. You are not the first offender. It's not the main culprit, there is always a way!"

Qiu Jin closed her eyes and let two lines of hot tears roll down, "Impossible, I could have easily killed you. In fact, when you fell asleep, I raised the dagger several times but I couldn't kill you."
