Zhongcui Palace is located west of Jingyang Palace and north of Chengqian Palace. Zhongcui and Zhongcui were the same as Zhongcui. In ancient times, it was the meaning of essence. This place was originally the bedroom when Emperor Xianfeng was the prince. Later, Empress Dowager Ci'an entered the palace. Since entering the palace, Ci'an has been living in Zhongcui Palace. ∝.2

Zhongcui Palace is the second courtyard, facing south of the main gate, and is called Zhongcui Gate. The front courtyard is the main hall of Zhongcui Palace. It has 5 rooms wide, with a yellow glazed tiles and hip-mounted mountain top. There are 5 animals in front of it. There are 5 animals placed on the eaves and ridges. Under the eaves are single-sided and five-horned brackets, and painted Su-style paintings. The former magnificent Zhongcui Palace has already been on the third floor of the inner and the third floor of the outer floor of the Qing court.

Xingzhen's imperial carriage entered Zhongcui Palace all the way. Since the martial law in the capital began, Zhongcui Palace was under heavy troops from Yi Mian, who also served as the Minister of Guards. No one could enter and exit Zhongcui Palace without Xingzhen's handwriting.

Entering Zhongcui Palace, the plaque inscribed by Qianlong's imperial plaque "Shushen and Wen" was hung in the Ming Dynasty. Ci'an was lying on the soft couch behind the screen, and no one informed him. Xingzhen took the people behind the screen.

The imperial physician Huang Jingci was taking the pulse of Ci'an. When Ci'an saw Xingzhen enter, his willow eyebrows immediately raised, and his phoenix eyes stared at Xingzhen fiercely. Xingzhen smiled, and did not polite or care. She just asked Huang Jingci, "How is the condition?"

Huang Jingci stood up and bowed and said, "If you go back to the Queen Mother, your condition may be repeated. It is best to rest with peace of mind and not to work hard anymore."

Xingzhen nodded, waved her hand and ordered everyone in the house to go down, then walked forward, looked at Ci'an lying on the soft couch and said with a smile: "Sister, I, the sister, are here to see you."

Ci'an closed her eyes and turned her head to ignore her. Xingzhen did not think it was offensive, and then said, "Sister should rest assured when she is sick. Why are you doing nothing? Prince Hui Mianyu has spent a lot of effort on this matter. It's a pity that although Prince Hui led his troops out of the capital, he was unable to fight back."

Ci'an still said nothing, Xingzhen smiled and continued, "It's good, I don't have to worry about anything. Thanks to your sister, you are provoking behind the scenes, so that I can see who is a loyal minister and who is a treacherous minister, so that my younger sister will not have to worry about tidying up their charges."

At this time, Ci'an could no longer help it, opened his eyes and glared and said, "Yehenara, do you think you and the Japanese can cover the sky with just one hand? One day, God will be retribution!"

Xingzhen shrugged indifferently and said, "What are you talking about sister? I am guarding this ancestor's country for the late emperor. Those who block our plan are obstacles and will move away! God's retribution? It seems that God is standing on my side."

Xingzhen walked two steps and continued: "If our court wants to have some rescue, we have to do Western affairs and change the old methods. Those old and innocent young men who are not as good as ancient will be eliminated sooner or later. We Manchus are always a minority. Who should we rely on in this world if we don't rely on Han people? It's ridiculous that Prince Hui and others always blame us for using Han people too much. Sister, don't you know. This time, it was up to the Han people's soldiers and generals to block the British, French, foreign and Prince Hui and his soldiers."

Ci'an said angrily: "You fox charming boy, you are shameless. Lao Liu and Lao Qi were so confused by your sisters that they didn't know they were full of people!"

Xingzhen smiled slightly and said, "Sister is such a bad thing. My sister married Master Qi. You agreed at that time. As for Master Liu? I won't do that shameless thing."

Ci'an snorted and said, "What are you doing today? Are you just trying to humiliate me?"

Xingzhen shook her head and said, "Where do you have such thoughts? I mainly come to see my sister's condition. My sister still needs to take good care of her. I promised the late emperor that I will never make things difficult for my sister."

Ci'an said coldly: "Put your fake compassion. It's a pity that the late emperor did not leave a will to cure you little bitch, otherwise how could you be so careless?"

Xingzhen laughed and said slowly: "When the late emperor passed away, I trusted me more. Just like my sister trusted me at that time, how could she leave any will?"

Ci'an came from it with tears in his eyes and said, "When the late emperor passed away, I asked you to go in first, and then summoned me. At that time, the late emperor told me that the Yehenara family is pure and talented, but for the sake of relying on it, it seems that both the late emperor and I have misunderstood!"

Xingzhen sighed, took out the embroidered handkerchief to wipe away the tears and said, "Sister, you have to take care of yourself. Actually, looking back, one of the things that my younger sister does is harmful to the Qing Dynasty? Those princes and nobles do nothing on weekdays and cannot share the worries of the country. They will fight you everywhere when they are about to come. The burden given by the late emperor is already terminally ill, and they cannot save them without taking strong medicine."

Ci'an turned his head and ignored her. Xingzhen said, "Okay, let's not talk about these useless things. There is one more thing for me today." As she said that, she took out an edict from her arms and continued: "My sister knows that Prince Hui and Ronglu and other traitors were in trouble. That was a forgery, not the sister's intention, so she wrote an edict here to announce it to the world to face the hearing. Sister, look at it, and then we will jointly issue this edict."

Ci'an didn't look at the edict and knocked it to the ground: "Prince Hui and the others did their business according to the will of our palace. They are here to attack you and the Japanese. You adulterers and tycoons are waiting to die!"

Xingzhen lowered her face and sneered, "Sister, I don't know what to say about you. You have been with the late emperor for so many years, but you are still so scheming. Since my sister has made it clear to me, I have to do it myself." After that, she reached out to take out a treasure bag from Ci'an's arms. Ci'an was shocked and wanted to reach out to grab it, but was easily pushed away by Xingzhen.

Ci'an's long-term illness body was not Xingzhen's opponent at all, and she took the treasure bag away by her. Xingzhen took a few steps back and took out the imperial seal given to Ci'an by Xianfeng. Xingzhen smiled faintly and said, "I didn't need your imperial seal, sister. Now the seal of Tongdaotang and Zaichun's seal in my palace can take effect. However, this edict mainly aims to make Prince Hui and others lose their reputation, so you have to use your imperial seal."

Ci'an struggled to get out of bed, trying hard to grab Xingzhen's feet, and said weakly: "Give it back to me, give it back to me!"

Xingzhen squatted down and said slowly, "Sister, Prince Hui and others have had enough trouble outside. It's time to wake them up. My little sister has always known what you are planning. My little sister has also given her a chance. If my sister could listen to advice and take good care of her illness, and don't care about these things, she wouldn't have caused such trouble."

After saying that, Xingzhen slowly stood up and said, "Sister, the ground is cold, you'd better go back to the couch. This little sister of the imperial seal will naturally return it to you after using it. After all, this is the thought of the last emperor left to her sister, right? Now this imperial seal can only be a thought of the matter, hahaha..." As she laughed, Xingzhen shook Ci'an's hand and walked out slowly.

After a while, several eunuchs and palace maids came in and helped Ci'an to the soft couch. Ci'an's face turned red, she was panting and sweating coldly. Several eunuchs hurriedly asked Huang Jingci to come in.

After Huang Jingci visited, he just gave a few words of advice. Then he ordered someone to find his adopted daughter Cheng Lingxiu to give a few injections for Ci'an. Then Ci'an fell asleep peacefully. After Cheng Lingxiu applied the acupuncture, she silently put away the acupuncture objects and retreated with Huang Jingci.

Huang Jingci looked at the depressed Cheng Lingxiu and asked, "What? Is there anything unhappy?"

Cheng Lingxiu said sadly: "Enjoyed Father, is the Empress Dowager Dong the entourage when Brother Li was killed back then?"

Huang Jingci was slightly stunned, then sighed softly, "I have heard of Li Ding's affairs. Although Empress Dowager Dong is not very informed, she cannot get rid of it. What? After you know about this, don't want to treat her anymore?"

Cheng Lingxiu shook her head slowly and said, "No, I will treat her more carefully. Looking at her now, living is a torture. I will let her live for a long time, a long time..."

After Xingzhen took the imperial seal, she stamped the imperial seal in the imperial edict that day, and then spread the imperial edict to the whole world. In this edict, Xingzhen was written in Ci'an's tone, directly scolding Mian Yu, Ronglu and others for forgers, and called on the rebels to put down their weapons and surrender to the court, only asking the chief criminals and not threatening to follow.

In fact, from the beginning, Mian Yu, Ronglu and others planned to quickly conquer the capital after the foreign coalition. As long as the capital conquers, they would no longer be affected by the title of Dayi. They also knew that sooner or later there would be a day when the capital would be lost. At that time, whoever controls the capital would be able to occupy the title of Dayi. But they did not expect that the British and French coalition would be blocked in Tongzhou. Then the Taiping Army's joining made their dream of quickly attacking the capital shatter, and the situation would become unfavorable to the rebels. After all, Ci'an was still trapped in the capital, and sooner or later the Empress Dowager Ci would definitely use her to make a fuss.

When Xingzhen began to know that someone in the court wanted to deal with her, she began to make arrangements, from Li Ding's death to Fang Ronglu's separation from Jing, from using the Meridian Gate to attacking dissidents in the capital to Fang Mianyu's separation from Jing, Xingzhen was always planning to let all those who opposed her surface, and then she could take it all in one fell swoop. At the same time, she even planned to plot in the Western King. Now that the Taiping Army outside the capital has indeed complicated the situation. Xingzhen still did her own thing step by step, and she was about to start closing the net. First, she wanted to make the rebels lose excuses in the name of Dayi, and then the division and disintegration. What she wanted to deal with Mianyu, Ronglu, and those soldiers who were forced to follow could be let go.

After resolving the threat from the rebels, Xingzhen's next goal was to provoke the war between Britain, France and the Taiping Army, which was what she had planned early in the morning.

After returning to Chuxiu's palace, Xingzhen asked someone to issue the imperial edict, and she felt very relaxed and happy. After taking a nap, she stood up and continued to review the memorial. At this moment, Cheng Lingxiu asked for a meeting.

After seeing him, Cheng Lingxiu said, "Empress Dowager, Bai Zetang of the Taiping Army in the city has a letter delivered."

Xingzhen was slightly slim, and Cheng Lingxiu had always served as the messenger for her contact with the Taiping Army. She also sent this letter to her. Now Xingzhen opened the letter and read it. She saw that it was Xiao Yungui's handwritten letter, with only a few words written: "Find a time, meet and talk in detail!"
