late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 10
May 1861, 9 sunny
After listening to Mei Shuang's words yesterday, I have been feeling uneasy.

In the morning, I went to wait outside Lizheng gate early, for fear of any trouble.

Although the history has been set early, I am still beating drums in my heart. After all, I am not very familiar with this period of history.

Moreover, my life and death seem to have nothing to do with history.

Not long after I waited outside Lizhengmen, the boss came driving a car, and there seemed to be nine shamans in the car.

Those mages were all wearing black clothes and masks. At first glance, they looked like primitive people, similar to the descriptions on TV. Presumably, the screenwriters of those TV dramas also read history books.

"My lord, I have already brought him, and I will leave the rest to my lord."

"Okay, come in with me."

I responded, and led those people into the Li Palace as if nothing had happened, and went straight to Sushun's residence.

"Master Tang has done a good job."

Sushun sat in a high position with a smug look on his face. To be honest, looking at his face, I really wanted to beat him up.

However, I am alone and weak now, so I can only bow my head and stand aside, as if I am looking at a dog.

"My lord, can we start now?"

Sushun waved his hands impatiently, and said, "Go to the emperor's bedroom and do the trick, I don't need it here!"

I know that his original intention was to get rid of me. Since the plan didn't work out, he naturally wouldn't care about this shaman.

"Okay then, come with me."

I took those shamans out of Sushun's residence, and after walking not far, I was stopped by a little maid.

"The queen mother heard that a shaman master came to the palace, and specially asked the adults to take it there."

"Okay, let's go now."

I don't know if there is really Prince Gong among the nine people behind me, but judging from the current situation, it seems that everything is under Lan'er's control.

This woman is really not simple!
I walked through the winding corridors all the way to Lan'er's bedroom. She was sitting on the Arhat bed, looking at us with a smile on her face.

At this moment, the autumn wind outside was just right, and the remnant chrysanthemums in the courtyard were blown down, and a few petals were blown into the room, and landed on Lan Er's hand, and she picked up a petal casually.

"The sky-scenting fragrance penetrates Chang'an, and the whole city wears golden armour. Are you talking about chrysanthemums?"

She was talking casually, and her eyes swept across my face if there was nothing.

"This is Huang Chao's poem, and it also describes chrysanthemums, but this chrysanthemum has a murderous look."

Lan'er chuckled a few times, then looked at the shamans, "Which one of you has the final say, come in with me."

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Tang also came in together." Lan'er added.

I looked at the back of Lan'er entering the back room, and I always felt that she seemed to be different in some way, but I only saw her for a few days, so how could she be different!

I entered the back room with one of the shamans, and as soon as I entered, the maid outside closed the door.

When I raised my eyes, I realized that Lan'er was almost looking at the shaman with a warm gaze, could it be...

Sure enough, the man took off his mask before saluting to Lan'er, "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

Lan'er stepped forward three steps at a time, helped Prince Gong up, looked at him with tears in her eyes, "My lord, you are finally here."
