late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 13
May 1861, 9 sunny
I realized that I was a fool in the palace. In front of those old people in the palace, my IQ was less than five years old.

Yesterday, Lan'er looked at me fixedly, she said, "Do you know that Sushun wants to kill you?"

I said 'I know. '

"Then why do you think I let you live in my bedroom? Is it really to be with you, to watch the stars and the moon together?"

"I know you want to save me."

I looked back at her, meeting her gaze for the first time.

These days, I feel that I have had enough. I am trembling every day, and I am still like a grandson who shrinks his head. How aggrieved and aggrieved.

"I want to save you, and the only way to save you now is to have sex with you."

Lan'er straightened up suddenly, and backed away, and when she sat back on the Arhat bed, there was a flattering smile on her face again.

"I don't understand. If you do this, you can be caught by Sushun?!"

I was really confused by Lan'er's logic, or in other words, I am not suitable for these power struggles, and I can't figure out their thoughts.

At the beginning, I could give Lan'er some hints or suggestions based on my understanding of history, but now it seems that the development of things is far more complicated than history.

Even, I want her to protect me now, I feel a little ashamed.

"To catch thieves, to catch dirty, to catch rape and double, Sushun didn't have enough evidence, so he didn't dare to bring this matter up on the table, or even if he had enough evidence, he wouldn't move at this time." Me, he wished that I would lose my mind by playing with things, so that I could take the opportunity to coerce the emperor to make the princes, to be clear, what he was waiting for was an opportunity!"

When I heard Laner say this, I suddenly realized that, in fact, in Sushun's eyes, I was the one who made Laner lose his mind, and he was able to save my life, probably because of this reason.

So Laner saved me once again, I'm a complete idiot in these power struggles of the ruling class.

"Lan'er, thank you." I thanked her from the bottom of my heart.

It was at this moment that I decided to help her and completely change her fate so that she would no longer be the Empress Dowager Cixi who lost her power and humiliated the country.

In other words, I will use my way to establish a new system in China, so that the country that is already in turmoil will rise up resolutely!

For this, I may have to pay an unimaginable price, but I will not hesitate at all!
This morning, there seemed to be two more maids in the Lan'er Palace, no need to ask, it must be another eyeliner sent by Sushun.

He has been so unscrupulous to this point, presumably, he already feels that he has the chance to win.

I wait and see the day he fails.

When it was almost noon, Empress Dowager Ci'an came with Emperor Tongzhi. This was the first time I spoke to Empress Dowager Ci'an.

She is a very gentle woman, she speaks and walks softly, very much like a lady from a noble family in ancient times, or she is a lady from a great family herself.

Unlike Lan'er, a lady of great family, Lan'er is more charming, and in layman's terms, she is more 'sexy'.

However, only I know that she has a kind heart under her 'slutty' appearance, and she wants to protect the people she wants to protect.

"Why is Mr. Tang still here! You don't even look at your identity!"

Empress Dowager Ci'an cast a disdainful glance at me, with anger in the corner of her gentle eyes.

"What does the subject have to do with identity here?"

I don't take it seriously, I know that the Empress Dowager Ci'an is full of hostility towards me, she already thinks I'm Lan'er's man, she thinks we're outrageous and detrimental to the royal family's face.

"Presumptuous! You actually talk to the Ai family like that, you want to rebel!"

What a contrived woman. To be honest, although she is gentle, I don't like her, and even have a little disgust.

"I dare not, and have never thought about it, the Queen Mother calms down."

I stood aside respectfully. At this time, I must not make any unnecessary complications, otherwise, I will really die without a place to bury.

"You are a bad person! You bully my mother!"

Emperor Tongzhi stepped forward and kicked me hard, his six-year-old face was full of anger.

I know that he must have listened to someone's gossip, and this person should be the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

"Why are you here?"

At this time, Lan'er came out from the inner hall, she squatted down, and waved to Emperor Tongzhi.

"Come here quickly, come to Er Niang, Er Niang hasn't seen you for a few days."

"I won't let you hug me, you are a bad woman! I want to live with Queen Mother!"

Emperor Tongzhi's sharp eyes gouged out Lan'er fiercely, then quickly ran to Empress Dowager Ci'an's arms, and buried his small head on Empress Dowager Ci'an's chest.

"Sister, don't think too much, I didn't tell him anything!"

The Empress Dowager Ci'an hurriedly explained, and pulled Emperor Tongzhi out of her arms, "Your Majesty, quickly, apologize to your mother."

"I won't! She's a bad woman, she's with wild men!"

Emperor Tongzhi pointed at Lan'er's nose and cursed.

Having said this, people with long brains should understand it. If this is the case, if they don't listen to adults, how can a child be able to say it.

"Emperor, remember, you must call yourself Zhen!"

Lan'er ignored Emperor Tongzhi's accusation, but corrected him indifferently.

At this moment, I saw heartbreak, helplessness, and the desire to survive in her eyes. She put her own son by Ci'an's side, protected the two of them, and faced Sushun's strong wind and rain alone. , the final result is this.

"Sister, this Master Tang should let him go back, this way to you..."

"Needless to say, I have my own opinion!"

Lan'er interrupted her, her face was very gloomy, as if she would get angry at any moment.

"In that case, I will take the emperor back first."

The Empress Dowager Ci'an didn't continue talking, she turned around and left with interest.

I looked at the back of her leaving, and then saw Lan'er's distraught look, and finally I couldn't hold back and chased after her.

"Empress Ci'an."

I blocked her way and looked down at her.

"It's you?!"

Empress Dowager Ci'an was a little surprised, she definitely didn't expect that I would have the courage to chase her, and even have the courage to stop her.

"It's me. I just want to ask the Queen Mother, under such a turbulent court situation, why can the Queen Mother and the emperor live in a corner and enjoy those peaceful lives."

"It's her who took all the dangers by herself, and protected you under her wings with her not generous shoulders!"

I didn't wait for the Empress Dowager Ci'an to answer, so I said it myself, because I didn't expect her to be grateful to Lan'er.

After hearing my words, the Empress Dowager Ci'an froze for a while, then raised her hand and slapped me in the face.
