Li Tuo patted Isiha's back and whispered, "Don't hesitate, go ahead...it's good for you! Don't make it feel like life and death, let you enjoy it, you're still not happy..." "
"Go in! If you don't go in, I will tie you in and gag you..."
Li Tuo and Li Lianying, one with a red face and the other with a dark face, were about to force him with a knife. The 1.8-meter-tall man with a red flag was rolled up in the carpet.
It took three adult eunuchs to hold up this roll of carpet. It seemed to be heavy enough that several of them were shaking when they walked.
"The next one is worthless..." Li Lianying cursed in a low voice, and rushed up to another one. Four eunuchs were able to carry it safely.
At this time, the little eunuch also ran back from the front, lowered his head and whispered a few words in Li Lianying's ear. Li Lianying's face smiled like a flower, "Haha... It's a few of them. They are all direct descendants of the Queen Mother. The miscellaneous family But don’t worry!”
"Master Li... you can go to the duty room of the military aircraft department and rest! Whether you will be beheaded or promoted tomorrow depends on the performance of this ass Isiha..."
Li Tuo cupped his hands and turned towards Long Zongmen. There was a place for him to sleep in the duty room!
The next arduous task was left to Li Lianying. He led a group of eunuchs to Qixiang's door. When the four guards saw that it was him, they quickly saluted.
"Master Manager, you have to go back to the palace so late to do your job? It's really hard... As part of your responsibilities, you must register and inspect. This...hehehe...this..."
"I know, I know the rules...can I still make you suffer? You just wrote it in the duty file. The Queen Mother is dizzy and insomniac tonight, so she temporarily summoned me, a slave, to come to the palace to serve..."
"Who asked the Queen Mother to recognize my massage skills? Don't we slaves have to run errands..."
"I understand, I understand... listen carefully to the rest, record it for me verbatim!"
Li Lianying gave the guards an excuse to register. This was an excuse left for the Qing palace files in the future, because Li Lianying had registered once when he entered from the Meridian Gate. Every door he entered had to be registered, especially those who entered and exited the harem. Access control is even stricter.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, the file must be perfect!
The next step is to check. There must be something to say before such a big roll of carpet is brought into the palace. Li Lianying took a picture and said, "This is a European carpet that I ordered for the Queen Mother. The foreign merchant just delivered the goods this afternoon..."
"The Queen Mother summoned her at a moment's notice, so I brought it here... Be careful, this is a fine Persian carpet. You can't afford to pay for it if it gets muddy..."
"Don't worry, manager, don't worry..." After saying that, the guard took it out of the carpet roll, and the four eunuchs carrying the carpet suddenly felt their hearts beat.
But he never expected that the guard's expression did not change at all, but he took out a palm-sized parcel from the carpet.
"Haha... the carpet, it's a carpet, it's good that there is no entrapment... open the door and ask the steward to enter the harem!"
Li Lianying smiled with satisfaction, "Copy down the names of the brothers on duty today...you know the rules!"
"Don't worry, General Manager, don't worry... General Manager, raise your legs high and be careful of the steps!"
At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, the locked Qixiang Gate in the Forbidden City was opened again, and the harem access control was in vain!
A group of eunuchs carried the carpet and walked in. The four guards immediately locked the palace door. As soon as they locked the other three guards, they came over and said, "How much...how much did the steward reward..."
"Haha...at least one hundred dragon-marked silver coins..."
Opening the small package, there was indeed a large handful of shining silver Ryukyu dragon-patterned silver coins, and in the middle there were several rolls of banknotes, all of which were of large denominations.
"Haha...Brothers will have a good meal at noon tomorrow, and then we will share it equally...but I have to remind you, this money is to buy you to shut up!"
"According to the rules, if one of the four of us spreads the news today! Haha... The Queen Mother will have to sit together!"
"I understand... I understand... If we have to die together, we haven't lived enough!"
Facts have proved that no matter how strict the rules are, they are formulated and enforced by people. If everyone who guards the rules is bribed, then the rules are useless!
Since Ci'an moved to Beiyuan, what was left in the Forbidden City was Cixi's power, especially the harem after the three main halls was Cixi's private garden.
The eunuchs, maids, and guards were purged several times, and the remaining ones were direct descendants who were very loyal to Cixi. Because of this, Li Lianying had the confidence to sneak a grown man into the palace.
After passing Qixiang Gate and walking a few steps, you will see Lisi Gate. From here, you have to turn north and enter the north-south Xichang Street, and this street is the so-called central axis of the West Sixth Palace.
To the west of Xichang Street are Xianfu Palace, Changchun Palace and Taiji Palace from north to south, while to the east of this street are Chuxiu Palace, Yikun Palace and Yongshou Palace!
Cixi's blessed place is in the Chuxiu Palace, and now it is also the most gorgeously decorated place in the entire Forbidden City harem!
At this point, Li Lianying was not afraid of anything. All the palace ladies and eunuchs who he wanted to die would not survive. As soon as he entered the palace gate, a group of eunuchs and palace ladies came out to greet him.
Li Lianying waved her hand and asked in a low voice, "Where is Lafayette sleeping?"
"Report to the manager, who is in the second room in the West... Maybe he drank some wine and slept unsteadily. He turned over twice just now!"
"Yeah...I know...carry it in, keep your voice down..."
The four eunuchs walked into the Chuxiu Palace cautiously. They were faced with a large round mirror plaque and a rosewood throne. This was only used for formal ceremonies in the main hall.
The first room on the west side is a place for resting and sitting on weekdays, while the second room on the west side is where Cixi sleeps. The ancient royal family paid attention to Feng Shui and believed that the bedroom should not be too big, otherwise it will be filled with dissatisfaction and hurt.
Therefore, the specifications of the Forbidden City are always a main hall, a large living room but a small bedroom. Even the room where the emperor sleeps is not very big, a little more than twenty square meters.
Li Lianying and others quietly entered the second west room and placed the roll of things behind the screen at the door.
The steward looked up and saw that the curtains on Cixi's bed had been lowered, making it impossible to see the old Buddha inside. And beside the bed, a little palace maid was kneeling and suffering.
Li Lianying waved her hand to the little palace maid and told her to come out quickly. A group of people exited the second west room, then exited the west first room, and then exited the main hall.
The entire Chuxiu Palace unexpectedly had no one waiting on it. When Li Lianying closed the door, she couldn't help but reveal a smirk.
"Everyone, step back... Everyone, step back... No matter what sound is made for a while, pretend not to hear... Let's go!"
In the dead of night, it was slowly reaching twelve o'clock. When the French grandfather clock in the main hall rang, Cixi, who was sleeping lightly, turned over again.
"Water...water..."
