People who drink frequently have experience. After being drunk, they fall asleep quickly but the sleep quality is definitely not good. The brain is in shallow sleep, has many dreams and wakes up frequently at night.
Drinking too much liquor will make you thirsty, drinking too much beer will make you pee more! This is the experience of an old drunkard. At this time, beer was not popular in the Qing Dynasty. Cixi drank the fine rice wine Huadiao. Although it was the imperial wine, drinking too much would make her thirsty.
The queen mother turned over several times and felt her throat was burning. She asked for water in a low voice without opening her eyes, "Water...water..."
Cixi would hang bed curtains when sleeping, and the entire bed formed a private space isolated by brocade. It was not light-tight and would not allow wind to enter, but it was also very breathable. This sleeping environment was very comfortable.
The only bad thing is that those brocade bed curtains will be in the way when you get up in the middle of the night, but it doesn't matter, the Forbidden City does not lack manpower, as long as there are palace maids and eunuchs keeping vigil outside for a long time.
These people have to stay up all night, and they have to wait carefully for the master's slightest movement, and there will be eunuchs to record daily notes the next day. For example, how many times did the Queen Mother wake up to take care of her at night last night? Have you ever had a cough? What time? Are you suffering from insomnia? How many times did you turn over?
These records will eventually be summarized by the imperial doctor!
The rules of the Forbidden City are greater than the rules of heaven. It is not an adjective to open your mouth when you reach for your clothes. The real routine of serving people is something that ordinary people can't think of.
Cixi was thirsty, so there was a cup of warm tea on the coffee table outside the bed curtain. There was light tea at a suitable temperature. Usually, as soon as Cixi opened her mouth, the maid serving outside would immediately lift the bed curtain and bring a cup of warm tea to the Queen Mother. .
But today is also strange. I called Cixi three times and still didn’t feel any movement in the bed curtains!
Could this damn bitch be sleeping secretly? Really beaten to death and buried alive! Just when Cixi was about to burst into anger, the curtain suddenly moved and opened a crack.
Very, very faint starlight came in through the gap. Cixi narrowed her eyes and was so angry that she said, "Damn you bitch, how can I let the Ai family drink tea? Are you going to wait on me? Are you stupid..." …”
"If you don't lift the curtain, you're really itching. I'll pluck your skin alive..."
People were obviously scared outside. Cixi looked at the hand holding the tea and trembled obviously. Two drops of tea actually fell on the brocade quilt.
"Ouch! What a ghost today, you are so brave..." Cixi sat up in anger and actually lifted the curtain with her own hands.
Just when she was about to hit him, she suddenly saw the burly man standing in front of her, who was more than 1.8 meters tall.
"Ah!" It was like a ghost. The palace maid who usually served her disappeared, and a man suddenly appeared!
"There is a thorn..." Before the word "Ke" could be spoken, Yisiha, who was too frightened to think about anything, subconsciously rushed over and blocked Cixi's mouth with her other hand.
This scene is so embarrassing. Isiha is holding a cup of tea in her right hand and blocking the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi with her left hand. The two of them are standing on the bed with their voices changed, while the other is sitting on the bed in horror. Their eyes are facing each other and they are deadlocked.
It was cloudless tonight and the stars were bright. There were no curtains in the second west room. The large glass windows imported from England could let in every ray of starlight. The two of them could still distinguish their facial features hazily.
Cixi was also scared. She didn't know who the visitor was, let alone whether he was an assassin! But she knew very well that there was no eunuch or maid in the room at the moment, so she might have asked this man to kill him!
Maybe there are people outside the palace to protect him, but once the assassin tries to attack him, he will definitely be dead before they can rush in!
Who is the assassin? Who sent it? Ci'an? Could it be Yixin? Impossible...or should it be Zeng Guofan? No, no, no, he doesn't have that much courage.
Is it Xiao Letian? Maybe it's him, this audacious bastard, his wings are hardened, and after defeating France, he is no longer afraid of the Qing Dynasty, and ends up rebelling?
But something is wrong. If you want to rebel, you have to kill Ci'an, Guiziliu and the others first... When did I become the first in line?
But why didn't this assassin take action? Why is he trembling all over? What kind of evil technique is this?
Isiha's brain was almost at a standstill at this moment, and he could no longer think about things. What happened today was beyond his greatest imagination in his life.
The aloof Empress Dowager Cixi was right in front of her, wearing white Shu brocade pajamas, her hair was fluffy and messy, and the makeup on her face had been removed, revealing the woman's natural skin.
At such a close distance, he could even smell the orchid-like fragrance, and the clothes he had just opened during the tearing process revealed large tracts of white snow.
what to do? What should I do next? The Queen Mother is angry. She will definitely destroy my family. She will definitely destroy my entire family!
Why am I so unlucky? Why did I get on this pirate ship? I am so confused!
Life is hard, why is my life so hard? Everyone I meet says that big shots can easily crush themselves to death. Needless to say, the Queen Mother, Li Lianying, Li Tuo and others also have ten thousand ways to kill their whole family.
No one can afford to offend anyone. If you offend anyone, you will die. No one can offend anyone. Why did I, a little shrimp, break into Laolongtan?
Isiha couldn't stop trembling all over, and more than half of the cup of tea had been spilled!
As time passed, Cixi realized something was wrong. You said you were an assassin, why didn't you kill someone? Bring me a cup of poison to drink? But most of it has been spilled?
Isiha's mind was full of confusion. Of course he was no longer his first brother. Although he was not married, he had been in love before. He knew what happened behind the curtains.
But no matter how cowardly he was, he never imagined that something would happen to the Queen Mother Lafayette!
The two of them did not take any action and remained in a stalemate for three minutes!
Cixi blinked, looked at the teacup and then at Isiha, as if asking something, but Isiha finally stammered after being dazed for three minutes.
"Slave... slave... slave... Isiha... serve Lafayette and drink tea..."
Finally holding back a sentence, Cixi understood immediately when she heard that this was the name of Manchuria. It was a banner man. It seemed that the assassin was not sent by Xiao Letian, so it would be easy to handle.
"The Queen Mother...the servants guarding the inner right door...the guards...the guards..."
"Ah...ah...ah...you are thirsty!"
Only then did Isiha remember that there was still half a cup of tea in his hand. He quickly put down the left hand that had blocked Cixi's mouth, and pushed the teacup in his right hand over it.
How could he serve others? Before Cixi could react, the tea cup was put to her mouth. At that time, she thought: "This is broken... This is really an assassin. If you drink me tea like this, it means that the tea is poisonous." !”
"You're so brave...you want to poison the Aijia...people..."
"Who's coming?" The word "Ah" hadn't been uttered yet. The frightened Isiha had goosebumps all over his body. Knowing that Cixi was about to call someone, he quickly rushed forward and blocked the Queen Mother's mouth with his hands.
The cup of tea had already rolled deep into the bed and became very wet!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty, listen to me... I... I am not an assassin!"
