Fireworks shows always come to an end. Amid the cheers of hundreds of thousands of people in the Special Administrative Region, Coastal Restaurant finally won the honor of being the first in the fireworks show tonight. This made the guys at Sihai Store so angry that they all shouted for tomorrow. Then the competition continues until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
The air was filled with gunpowder smoke and the smell of celebration. Later, some people calculated that the cost of fireworks during the Spring Festival alone in Tanggu Special Administrative Region was enough to cover the annual taxes of two large counties in Zhili. This shows how rich Tanggu has become at this moment.
The crowd gradually dispersed. At this moment, even the Xiao family mansion gradually extinguished the lights in each room. The girls who had enjoyed themselves fell asleep one by one. The only one who did not sleep was Amber.
Under a white candle, Amber's eyes were filled with ghostly fire. A row of white paper packets were placed on the table in front of her. He was using a silver spoon to distribute medicinal noodles on these white papers.
"Haha... doesn't it taste good? This is the braised pork trotters with soybeans that I added! Drink, eat, and enjoy it to your heart's content. Can I add some seasonings to you, aunt?"
No one could have imagined that it was her, this Amber, who had been poisoned and lost her fertility, but today she had extended her black hand to the eldest lady Fu Hui.
This is a very rare Chinese medicine formula. It is a chronic poison that ordinary people cannot know. It is a poison that cannot kill people but can cause women to slowly lose their reproductive function.
This is a chronic poison that no pharmacist can detect. You can’t even classify it as a harmful drug because this formula is harmless to men and does not cause any damage to other functions of a woman’s body. , what he attacked was only a woman's fertility, and he wanted to do it slowly and covertly.
The formula is extremely secret, and only the jealous concubines in the palace know it. The formula is hidden in the memory of the eldest eunuch, and under the hands of the most vicious doctor in the imperial hospital, so that no one can easily know it.
In the long history of the Forbidden City during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is impossible to verify how many women were harmed by this poison. However, judging from the low fertility rate of emperors in the past dynasties, this formula definitely wreaked havoc in the Forbidden City more than once. .
And things are very interesting. For powerful monarchs, the kind who can control their family, country and the world, their heirs are very prosperous. For example, Kangxi, including later Yongzheng and Qianlong, had many children.
However, those kings who were recognized throughout history as relatively dull, not very bright-minded, easily incited by others, and very emotional, had less prosperous heirs.
Why is this so? Maybe Li Lianying, who gave the poison to Amber, can give an answer.
"All holy kings are ruthless characters who can shock the court externally and pressure the back house internally! Moreover, these kings have very vicious eyes, and ordinary people would never think of playing tricks in front of them. Moreover, the competition between the women in the harem is very difficult for such an emperor. You have to be restrained in front of others..."
"With the rules in the inner house, evil spirits and heretics don't dare to be too presumptuous. Those heroines who are proud of their favor don't dare to go too far, so there are many insidious and vicious methods that no one dared to use at that time. …”
"If the emperor is a little duller, less capable, can't see good and bad people clearly, and can't control the evil spirits in the harem... Hahaha, it wouldn't be normal for such an emperor to have more children and concubines die. Something about that?”
Amber naturally had a hatred in her heart, which was the anger after losing the qualifications to be a mother. She had nowhere to vent this emotion, so she could only vent her anger on others. It was precisely because of such a dark psychology that she was chosen by Li Lianying.
In Cixi's plan, Fuhui and Huniu, including the women in the inner chamber, were not allowed to give birth to Xiao Letian. A sonless Xiao Letian would only harm the Qing Dynasty for decades at most. After he grew old and died, that The huge power will naturally fall apart.
Cixi was very aware of the inferiority of the Han people. The Han people were smart, hard-working and brave. God had given these Han people almost all the virtues of mankind.
But there is an incurable disease in the bones of the Han people, that is disunity, that is internal fighting, that is the same party and the opposite! This group of Han people are naturally fond of forming small groups and fighting among themselves. Unless there is a great man to control them, no one of them will obey anyone else.
The current Xiao Letian is really difficult to deal with. He can't be defeated militarily, and the guards he has are very powerful in assassinations. After thinking about it, he should use the most traditional method to deal with him.
That is to endure. We, the Manchus, have the patience to endure you to death, just like to endure Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guoquan. Those elites among the Han people only need to endure him to death, and the rest of the forces will be easy to deal with.
You, Xiao Letian, will die sooner or later. If you don't have a good descendant to inherit the family business, hahaha... the power you left behind will collapse and disintegrate at lightning speed, and be reduced to pieces.
Cixi once said to Li Lianying viciously, "This Qing Dynasty is no longer good, because all the men in this country are no longer good. Do you expect them to deal with Xiao Letian? Bah... I better stop dreaming, so I have to take action. In the final analysis It’s up to me, Yehenala, to save this Qing Dynasty..."
Cixi finally used the formula, a mysterious formula that circulated like a ghost in the Forbidden City, and Fuhui was the first to suffer a murderous attack.
No one will doubt Amber. This girl who has lost her fertility has received the love of everyone. Xiao Letian even made a rule for himself that every time he returns to the special zone, he will be the first to accompany Amber. No woman will be jealous of Amber, because they can all understand Amber's pity.
But poor people must be hateful. The excessive care given to Amber by everyone not only did not make her grateful, but also increased her hatred. There was only one thought in her heart, I have been destroyed, then I have to destroy you, and I want to do it. Let's go to hell together.
So Amber accepted Cixi's secret mission, and she could also drink bitter food and poison with everyone. She would eat all kinds of poisoned delicacies with everyone, and they would die together anyway, so no one would doubt her.
To this day, Amber has secretly poisoned Fuhui for more than half a year. As expected, Fuhui's stomach has not moved at all. She never expected that Amber, who loves to cook delicious food every day, has actually changed his heart. People's hearts have long since changed. Became a beast.
"Hehehe... Fuhui! You are a bitch who has been married to men three times, and you still want to dominate and become the eldest lady next to the master? You deserve it! Die... you die!"
"Hahaha... aren't you two brothers and sisters loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty? Isn't Mr. Qing dedicated to serving the court? Isn't Fu Qing willing to shed his blood for the sake of the Manchus?"
"Hahaha... What a joke, what a joke! Retribution, what a retribution in this world! Mr. Qing, who is fighting for the interests of the imperial court in Ryukyu, could you have imagined that the imperial court is ordering me to poison your sister?"
"Hahaha... This is really fun to trick a silly dog into climbing up the wall. It's so fun! Mr. Qing, you have worked hard for the court. The more you sell, the more I will poison you. How interesting this is! Haha! Ha ha……"
Tears welled up in his eyes as he laughed softly, Amber had gone completely crazy.
Sometimes life is really a tragedy. What Amber said is right. Now Fu Qing still regards himself as a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. He is trying every means to put pressure on Xiao Letian. He wants to bring Xiao Letian back to the position of a loyal minister and filial son. On the Cotai Strip.
In the Ryukyu Prime Minister's Mansion, in the viewing pavilion filled with a whole piece of glass, the two brothers sat together and finally had a New Year's reunion dinner alone.
