C1785 Manchus Weeping (1/2)
The storage palace was the luckiest place for Ci Xi. Here, he gave birth to Zai Chun, and gave birth to his only son.
This place had always been Ci Xi's favorite place, and also the place where he thought his luck was the most prosperous. She had once invited a hidden master over to take a look at feng shui, and this storage palace was his, Ci Xi's, land.
Unfortunately, even if it was a land calculated by a master, it wouldn't be able to suppress the anger in her heart. Even if a seedling was born in storage palace, the precious porcelain that was raised here was smashed to pieces. Four noble eighth brothers were strangled alive, and four young eunuchs and palace maids were beaten to a bloody pulp.
Although Li Lianying was the empress dowager's trusted aide, she was far inferior to An Dehai in Ci Xi's eyes. If An Dehai dared to go up and persuade him in such a furious situation, he, Li Lianying, would not dare.
All the old people in the palace knew clearly that An Dehai was not a eunuch from the start. He was the empress dowager's male pet, while he, Li Lianying, was an eunuch who had entered the palace while he admitted that he was inferior to An Dehai in terms of the empress dowager's influence.
Unfortunately, An Dehai still died at Xiao Letian's hands in the end. Li Lianying had been woken up by nightmares countless of times and An Dehai, who had been beheaded in his dreams, had cried and complained to him.
”Little Li …” Don't learn from me! There are no eunuchs guarding Great Qing Dynasty. If I accept this job, it would be courting death … ”You're courting death!”
Li Lianying who was kneeling outside the storage palace felt goosebumps all over her body whenever she thought about the dream she had the night before. It was as if she was entangled with An Dehai's vengeful spirit.
”This Forbidden City really has a ghost. Tomorrow, hurry up and send a hundred taels of joss sticks to the Yonghe Palace …”
Just as he was muttering, he heard a loud roar from the hall, ”Passing through the Prince Kung to meet you!” ”No, no, no. Invite him in …”
Li Lianying was waiting for the chance to leave Ci Xi's side. Upon hearing about this mission, she immediately kowtowed and received the order. This servant will do it right away! ” With that, he ran off like a wisp of smoke.
Ci Xi's anger was just an expression of helplessness. Now, not only her, even the entire Qing Dynasty was dumbfounded.
What did humans fear the most? It's not your enemy, nor is it a tiger lion. What humans fear is only what they don't understand.
Why are humans afraid of ghosts? This was because humans did not know what ghosts and deities were like, nor did they know the rules of the Ghost World. They did not know this, so they were afraid.
Sometimes, people were not afraid of evil people, but they were afraid of lunatics. Why was this the case? Since lunatics have no rules, you can find rules when interacting with the underworld, allowing them to live in peace. But can you judge the inner rules of lunatics?
Because he did not understand, because he did not understand, that was why he was so afraid.
The entire Beijing was enveloped by a baffling atmosphere. Those Eight Flag idler s who were yelling and cheering in the taverns and teahouses all sighed, and their voices were lowered by an octave.
”Aiyo, Yellow Lord you are lucky …”
”Lucky my ass, then why would I have the mood to drink tea and eat rotten meat noodles?” Heaven knows when our crops will stop, since the Old Ancestor's territory has already been established, what else do we have to live for! ”
”How boring. How boring. I really don't want to live anymore!” At this point, the eight banner men's tears rolled down their cheeks.
One person cried, but the other didn't! In the entire teahouse, all of the men of the Eight Banners were crying. It seemed that the matter of the Far East building a country had been a huge blow to them.
The owner of the teahouse didn't dare to say a word. The waiter only knew how to poke the stove and add coal. He pretended that he didn't exist and no one dared to touch him.
