C3585 An assassin? (1/2)

Those who drink often have experience, fall asleep quickly but sleep quality is absolutely bad, brain is light sleep, dreamy and awake.

Liquor drink too much thirst, beer drink too much urine! This was all the experience of an old drunkard. Beer was still not popular in this era of the Qing Dynasty, but Ci Xi drank fine yellow wine and flower carvings. Although they were royal wines, he would still be thirsty if he drank too much.

After flipping a few times, the empress dowager felt a burning sensation in her throat. She didn't even open her eyes as she quietly asked for water to drink … ”Water...”

Ci Xi would even hang bed curtains when he slept, the entire bed had become a private space separated by brocade, it was not light nor would he come in to make a breeze, but it was still very breathtaking, this kind of sleeping environment was extremely comfortable.

The only bad thing was that those brocade bed curtains would get in the way in the middle of the night, but it didn't matter. The Forbidden City lacked manpower, as long as there were palace maids and eunuchs keeping watch outside for a long time.

These people needed to stay up all night, and their master would have to wait on them if they made the slightest movement. Moreover, there were also eunuchs recording the Home Note the next day. For example, how many times had the empress dowager picked up during the night? Have you coughed? What time? Was he insomniac? How many times?

These records will be collected by the imperial physician!

The rules of the Forbidden City were much bigger than the rules of the heaven. When clothes came and went, food came and went. This was not an adjective. The commoners who served others in their usual ways would not even think of it.

Ci Xi was thirsty, and on the tea table outside the bed curtain, there was Wen Tang, with light tea brewing. Normally, the moment Ci Xi opened his mouth, the palace maids would immediately bring a cup of warm tea over to the empress dowager.

But it was strange today, even after shouting thrice, Ci Xi still could not feel any movement from the bed curtain!

This damnable bitch, did she secretly go to sleep? He really buried him alive! Just as Ci Xi was about to explode in anger, the curtain suddenly moved and opened a crack.

Very, very faint starlight shone through the gaps between the stars. Ci Xi squinted his eyes, making him extremely angry, ”Damn you lowly bitch, how are you going to make I drink tea? Could it be that he had served her? 'Could it be that you've gone stupid … '

”Why haven't you opened the curtains yet? Your skin is itchy. I'll skin you alive …”

It was obvious that he was afraid from the outside, but when Ci Xi saw the hand that was serving the tea, he started to tremble. Unexpectedly, two drops of tea fell onto the brocade blanket.

”Aiyo!” ”I must have seen a ghost today, how dare you …” Ci Xi sat up in anger, and actually opened the curtain herself.

Just as she was about to make her move, starlight shone through the window and she saw a man standing in front of her. He was a tall and sturdy man over 1.8 meters tall.

”AHH!” What the hell? The palace maid he usually served had disappeared, and a man had actually appeared out of nowhere!

”Thorns …” Before he could even say the word guest, Isha, who was already so scared that she could not think of anything, subconsciously rushed forward and used her other hand to cover Ci Xi's mouth.

Isha used her right hand to hold a cup of tea while her left hand covered Empress Dowager Ci Xi's mouth. The two of them stood on the bed and changed their voices, while the other sat on the bed in fear.

There were no clouds tonight, and the stars were bright. There were no curtains between the West and West. The large glass windows in the UK could let in every bit of starlight. The two of them were so hazy that they could even distinguish each other's facial features.

Ci Xi was also afraid, she did not know who was coming, and even more so did not know if he was an assassin! However, she was very clear that there weren't any eunuchs or palace maids in the room. Perhaps they were killed by this man!

Perhaps there were people protecting him outside the palace, but if this assassin were to make a move, he would definitely lose his life before they could charge in!

Who was the assassin? Who sent it? Ci An? Could it be Yi? Impossible … Or should I say Ceng Guofan? No, no, no, he didn't have the guts.

Was it Xiao Letian? Maybe it was him, this audacious bastard, after defeating the France and becoming unafraid of him, he decided to rebel?

But something's not right, if we want to rebel, we have to kill Ci An, General Gui and the others first … When did I get first?
