"Xiao Wang, call the imperial physician over later." Tongzhi smiled slightly, revealing a hint of determination.

"Zha", after hearing the order, the prince instinctively agreed, but found that the emperor was not uncomfortable. He asked in confusion, "Emperor, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Oh, not."

"No?"

"Well, but it'll be there soon." Tongzhi stood up suddenly, rolled up his sleeves and exposed his white and tender arms, grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it hard on his arm.

In fact, the first place to be smashed is the head, which can easily make people see the wound, but they are afraid of affecting their appearance. They are short, so it would be bad if they are disfigured.

"Ah, Master, you..." Eunuch Wang was stunned by Tongzhi's sudden behavior, and his eyes almost glared out.

"Why are you still stunned? Go and call the imperial physician over." Tongzhi shouted with grinning, with a few tears hanging on the corners of his eyes.

He himself did not expect that the bitter meat scheme is very useful in modern times, otherwise he would not have caused the impact of the porcelain. He just didn't expect that the force had been slightly stronger just now, and there was steaming tea inside, and his arms were burning and painful.

"Zhe." The prince came over the gods, put the whisk in his hand on his other arm, and ran out in panic.

"Eunuch Wang, how about the emperor? I deserve to die and not protect the emperor." Zhu Dezhang saw that it was Eunuch Wang coming out and asked anxiously.

"Doctor Xuan, hurry up." Eunuch Wang ignored Zhu Dezhang and ordered the eunuch under his command.

"Eunuch Wang, is there anything wrong with the emperor?" Zhu Dezhang did not have any temper and continued to ask.

"If the emperor was not injured, why did Doctor Xuan do? If you can't catch the assassin, you will bear the consequences." Eunuch Wang was too lazy to say more, and after explaining the matter, he returned to the bedroom of Tongzhi, the Yangxin Palace.

"What should I do? Chen Guifen, what are you going to do?" Zhu Dezhang was so shocked that he was sweating coldly. He looked at the second-class guard behind him who was kneeling on the ground and bowing his head without saying a word, and whispered.

Chen Guifen was also in self-blame. Under his own guard, the assassin could enter the hall to assassinate the emperor, and even hurt the emperor. He knew how Zhu Dezhang got to power, and he was quite disdainful and said angrily: "What else can I do? I have reported this to the former minister of the imperial court. Now the Nine Gate Admiral has blocked the entire imperial city. Only by catching the assassin can we atone for the merits."

"Who did you see the assassin?" Before Zhu Dezhang could speak, Chen Guifen turned his head and stared at the few little eunuchs who had been following Eunuch Wang.

"The black shadow was so fast that we didn't see clearly."

"Yes, it disappeared without reacting."

·····

Several eunuchs whispered, then shook their heads, saying that they did not see clearly the assassin's appearance.

"Sir, I think my back looks a bit like it..." Chen Guifen actually didn't expect the eunuchs to tell any clues. She was no longer hoping, but suddenly, a little eunuch who was standing at the back was experiencing a bubble.

"What do you think? You said, it's okay." Seeing the little eunuch hesitating and confusing, as if there was something unspeakable, Chen Guifen stood up, walked to the little eunuch, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

“Like…like…like…”

"What do you think you'll tell me quickly?" Zhu Dezhang couldn't help but urge.

Chen Guifen waved his hand and signaled Zhu Dezhang to be calm. His eyes were slightly relaxed. He gently patted the eunuch's shoulder, and his mouth squirmed a few times, but he didn't say anything.

"Like the eunuch Hong Man in Jingshifang, the eunuch." The little eunuch seemed to have to be brave enough and opened his mouth, "Also, there seems to be a lotus embroidered on the assassin's night clothes."

"What? It turned out to be him. No wonder his back looks a bit like it."

"Yes, yes, the direction you just ran away is Jingshan."

"It seems that only Hong Man is in charge of the business, so I can't see it."

······

The eunuch around him was also talking. He said he didn't see clearly a while ago, but he said it was quite well-known at this time, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Jingshan is the place where the palace maids and eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty lived. Except for the eunuchs on duty in the palace, the rest will leave the palace and live in the Jingshan area.

Hong Man was also very famous among the eunuchs in Jingshifang. He was extremely handsome. During the Xianfeng period, he was favored by Cixi and became the guard of Kunning Palace. Later, Emperor Xianfeng found something was wrong, but he didn't know who it was, so he assigned all the guards responsible for protecting Cixi to Jingshifang of the Internal Affairs Office. Hong Man became a eunuch because of this.

Hong Man was not only handsome, but also able to become a first-class guard of the Qing Dynasty, but also relying on his own good skills. After Xianfeng's death, Hong Man was promoted from a lower-class eunuch in Jingshifang to a manager, and was under Li Lianying. He had a similar status to Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Wang.

Zhu Dezhang had also heard of Hong Man, and he was a little hesitant at this time. He didn't want to offend the celebrity around the Empress Dowager, and he was also supported by Li Lianying. He was silent at this time and just pretended that he had heard nothing.

Of course, Chen Guifen also knew the pros and cons. If he arrested someone, he would inevitably offend the empress dowager. However, if he did not arrest him, how to explain to the emperor was his own responsibility.

Moreover, the eunuch said that the night-carrying clothes were embroidered with lotus flowers, which represented the White Lotus Sect and the anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty. It was not surprising that the assassination of the emperor was carried out. Maybe there were still remaining parties in the palace.

After pondering for a while, Chen Guifen took a deep breath, his face became much more solemn, and said to Zhu Dezhang: "Sir Zhu, please protect the emperor here. We are here to go to the northern Jingshan Supervisory Office to investigate."

Zhu Dezhang wanted Chen Guifen to go, and now it was just his wish. He responded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Lord Chen. If such a situation happens again, we will apologize for death."

······

In the Heart-Healing Hall, Tongzhi bandaged the wound under the examination of the imperial physician, laying halfway down on the couch, enjoying the snuff bottle comfortably, as if he was not concerned about anything outside.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Hezi has returned just now and has placed his night clothes in Hongman's room." Eunuch Wang bowed and whispered: "The eunuchs under me have been trained since I was a child, and they have absolutely no strange intentions. Zhu Dezhang and Chen Guifen fully believe in the conversation just now."

"How did both of them do it?" Tongzhi asked with a smile on his face.

"Zhu Dezhang is still outside and seems to dare not go. Chen Guifen has led people to the prison yard." Eunuch Wang told Tongzhi everything that happened outside the door just now.

"Well, then Chen Guifen seems to be trustworthy. After this incident, I will talk to him in person." Tongzhi stood up, and the momentum that dominated the world just now instantly closed. He became like a serious injury and he was just recovering, looking weak.

"Let's go to Chuxiu Palace, I want to meet the emperor's mother." Tongzhi, with the help of Eunuch Liu, walked out of the Palace of Yangxin.

He knew that if he didn't go to Cixi, Chen Guifen would probably be persecuted by Li Lianying and others because of this. He also knew that this was his first head-on collision with Cixi, and failure means that his fate would be the same as Guangxu, and he would be under house arrest or even poison.
