"Get out of the way! Xiao Sixi, I'll tell you to get out!" The angry Er Mao roared in the corridor, and Xiao Sixi in front of him was scolded with spit on his face.
This is the temporary residence of Emperor Tongzhi Zaichun in Buckingham Palace. It is an independent room on the second floor of the East District. On one side of the long corridor is a balcony facing south and facing the sun, and on the other side is a row of luxuriously decorated rooms, with ten rooms in total. The house provided accommodation for Emperor Tongzhi and his personal entourage.
This is only the closest attendants who can have such an honor, and more attendants can only live in the attendants' rooms at the back of Buckingham Palace. There are even three large warehouses used to store the accompanying items carried by Zaichun.
Of course, the four eunuchs were qualified to live with Emperor Tongzhi, but maybe Zai Chun was shocked and had a estrangement in his heart, so Er Mao was placed in the room farthest from Emperor Tongzhi, and Er Mao had no chance during this period. Traveling with the emperor, he spent most of his time studying antiques with Manshun.
Er Mao knew that he had received a cold reception. Now that Zai Chun had made it clear that he had to choose between the British and the Chinese, he, as a Chinese agent, would definitely not have a few good days.
Fortunately, after all, Zai Chun does not have the strength to fall out with the head of state at this moment, so his safety and prosperous life can still be maintained.
He really doesn't want to mess with Zai Chun. His current ideal is to complete the final mission given by his godfather, and then find a chance to leave the Manchu prison and take his parents to Ryukyu to spend their remaining years.
After learning so much about antiques from Manshun, I will have something to do in the Führer's museum in the future, and my life will not be so boring.
However, things always go against people's wishes. Ermao never expected that such an incident would happen. Xiao Letian was actually attacked by thugs, and anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that Benjamin was causing trouble behind his back.
The most terrible thing was that Er Mao had not received any news from his godfather before. Now Er Mao was flustered. After several days of contact, he looked at Zai Chun's performance coldly, and the more he looked at him, the sadder he became.
Except for being disappointed when he asked Da Sixi to visit him on the first day, the little emperor didn't react at all. He didn't even worry about his master. When it was time to play and inspect, he followed Gordon's big-nosed man all over the UK all day long. spinning around.
Now there is another problem. Emperor Tongzhi actually got together with Prince William and Prince George. The three children are thirteen and ten years old, and the last one is only four years old. Not to mention that they are quite similar in age.
Er Mao knew that this was the queen's strategy, and wanted to use emotional investment to let these three children of the same generation establish friendship in childhood, so that when they control their own country, they will naturally form a very stable relationship.
Queen Victoria was a politician in the same period as Emperor Daoguang, so in terms of seniority, she is Zai Chun's grandmother-level elder. Then Emperor Tongzhi and William and George are really of the same generation. This is because of their special status. If They are three brothers from an ordinary family. It would be a good choice to become a godbrother or something.
Ermao was already dissatisfied with Zai Chun, so Emperor Tongzhi could let him do whatever he wanted. However, when it came to the issue of Xiao Letian, Ermao felt that he had to speak.
When the master is in trouble, do you, the disciple, not even have an attitude? The head of state and Benjamin have already gone up to the bull. If you don't step in to mediate, who will mediate?
The Queen chose to sit back and watch. If you, Zai Chun, asked for help as the Emperor of China, how could Queen Victoria refuse you? If she opens her mouth, wouldn't the negotiations between the Chinese and the British be smooth?
As long as the negotiations can continue, the current deadlock will be resolved. Why is it so tense?
Er Mao has not received instructions from Xiao Letian for a long time, so he is very worried about the safety of the head of state at the moment. He even wonders whether the head of state was injured in this attack, or whether there was an accident?
He no longer dared to think further. After careful consideration for a few days, he decided that he wanted to have a showdown with Zai Chun and that Emperor Tongzhi must intervene in this conflict as the emperor.
But he never expected that he was not even qualified to see the emperor. Xiao Sixi stood outside the bedroom and said that the emperor was not there.
"Oh...my Ermao brother! Please don't embarrass me. His Majesty is not here even if he is not here. Can I still lie to you?"
"Get out of here! I have to see it with my own eyes!" Er Mao yelled angrily.
"No! Your Majesty has a strict order. Without His Majesty's command, no one can enter the bedroom at will, including our four eunuchs!"
"Fart! We are the ones who serve the Lord Long Live personally. Even if the master wants to sleep with his concubines, we have the right to serve him. You told me that you can't enter the bedroom? Go away, can you go..."
The two were in a stalemate, and the noisy sound alerted the British attendants in the distance. They looked at the place from both ends of the corridor, wondering what these Chinese people were doing.
Er Mao's status in the Forbidden City is too special. It is the prestige gained through these years of fighting. When Xiao Letian and the Manchus had several small-scale wars, Er Mao almost lost his life several times.
But at the most critical moment, the queen mothers and princes of the two palaces were reluctant to kill him. After all, keeping him was still a bridge to communicate with Xiao Letian.
In this way, Ermao passed all the tests and was directly promoted from the steward of a gold warehouse to the third-ranked eunuch supervisor in the Forbidden City.
Zhou Daoying, Li Lianying, and Er Mao are the three people with the highest status in the Forbidden City. They can almost walk sideways in the Forty-Nine City. Officials of the third and lower grades can only take the initiative to salute them.
Eunuchs such as Da Sixi, Little Sixi and Man Shun had much lower status than Er Mao. In the conflict, Er Mao had the upper hand, and none of the surrounding young eunuchs and guards dared to stop him with a deadly blow.
With a crisp sound, Ermao slapped Xiao Sixi half of his face swollen. "Asshole! You dare to stop me even though you, a bitch who teaches masters how to play dirty tricks, get out of here..."
He went up and kicked Xiao Sixi away, and Er Mao knocked open the bedroom door.
Now Xiao Sixi was very anxious. The things in the bedroom must not be seen by Er Mao. He yelled, "Where are the guards! Don't you want to live? This is His Majesty's bedroom. Anyone who dares to break in will be taken down by me..."
The moment the door was knocked open, Er Mao regretted it. He looked carefully at the room and found that there was no one inside at all. The emperor had indeed gone out.
But when he glanced at the desk on the window out of the corner of his eye, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, "Oh no, Xiao Sixi is trying to trick me! This is a dead end!"
In the blink of an eye, four guards swarmed in, cut Er Mao's arms behind his back and pinned Er Mao to the carpet.
Xiao Sixi rubbed her red and swollen face and shouted, "Drag him out and beat him to death! If you dare to break into His Majesty's bedroom and have no regard for the Emperor, you will be executed! You will be executed!"
