Isiha completely became Cixi's toy, a Lao Ai hidden in the palace. Cixi, who had suffered from idleness in the court, returned to Chuxiu Palace and started to use evil fire on Isiha.
Ginseng soup, deer blood, medicinal wine... all kinds of supplements were poured down as if they were free. Isiha was imprisoned by Cixi for three days and three nights. These three days became something he would never forget in his life. Hell experience.
It is impossible for the open and secret fighting in the court to continue every day. After the two brothers-in-law and princes forced the palace once, they stopped, and the court was generally peaceful.
The attention of the people in the capital was attracted by Salonga's case and the victory at Xingxingxia. It took less than half a month for the limelight to subside.
This also hid other conflicts, allowing the imperial court to secretly investigate Chen Cang. All factions were secretly inquiring about information and preparing to deal with unpredictable changes in the court situation in the future.
But all this had nothing to do with Lao Ai Yisiha. Three days later, he was hidden in a water tanker and secretly sent out of the palace!
Cixi said that she was unwilling to let this big toy go home. These three days were the happiest three days in her life. Her whole body was so transparent.
But it was impossible not to let him go. Li Lianying secretly sent 10,000 yuan to Isiha's family three days ago. Isiha's mother and sister knew that her brother was in Lin Lianying's hands.
Basically every day for three days, I blocked the door and asked where people were!
You can't just say that a big living person will be gone if you don't have it, right? Working as an errand in the Forbidden City also requires time for rest during shifts. Is there no reason why I should not go home for four or five days?
Cixi was also afraid that other ladies would block the door of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask for him to leave, so she had to let him go even if he was reluctant. Besides, if he continued to drink deer blood like this, Isiha would really become a scumbag in three days.
Sitting in the dark compartment of the waterwheel, Isiha sneaked out of the Forbidden City, got off the waterwheel halfway, rented a black van on the street, and rushed to his home in the northwest corner of the capital.
Isiha is also a face-conscious person. He was too embarrassed to show anyone what happened in the past few days, so he rented a black car and lowered the curtains in order to prevent anyone from seeing him.
Yisiha's family lived in Nanba Hutong near Xizhimen, a dilapidated small courtyard with dead grass growing on the roof tiles.
This place is close to the city wall. The towering walls of the capital reveal the vicissitudes of history. The mottled walls can be washed away with gravel on rainy days. The sun can only be seen in the morning in the day. When the sun sets in the afternoon, this small courtyard will be covered with water early. It was shrouded in the shadow of the city wall, and it was very cold.
When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, Isiha stopped the van, took out more than twenty copper coins and handed them over. He looked at the deep alley and couldn't help but sigh.
I thumped my waist, then walked home holding on to the wall!
Although the alley is secluded, there are still some neighbors. Aunt Sun, who is over eighty years old, has better eyesight than usual. She can see Isiha even when she is sitting in the yard picking up the soles of her shoes.
"Ouch... The general of the bodyguard is off duty? I haven't seen you for several days..."
"Hey...Hello, Mrs. Sun, you are so lucky..." Isiha quickly returned the gift.
As a result, Mrs. Sun was still very confident at the age of eighty, so she shouted at the top of her voice, "It's worth it, Yisiha... Sister Huaihua, come out quickly and look at your brother..."
With a whoop, a dozen or so neighbors suddenly appeared in the alley where a dog was wandering, and they came up and surrounded Isiha.
"Oh... Xiao Yi... why haven't you been home for six or seven days?"
"Your mother and sister have gone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to look for you several times. What class is your kid in?"
"You brat... Grandpa Zhang, you don't have sand in your eyes. You can't be a bad boy! I have to keep an eye on you for your father!"
"You haven't shown up for so many days. Did you go to a brothel? Did you go smoking? Look at the dark circles under your eyes!"
The neighbors are all elders, and they are not so polite when they talk to each other. They scold them... You can't be impatient yet. The more you do this, the more respectful you must be...
"Hey... what Grandpa Zhang taught you is... but he didn't do anything bad. There was really something wrong in the Forbidden City..."
"This is my new Yun Pian Cake. Let's share it..." Yun Pian Cake is not a snack from old Beijing. These are Southern pastries brought from the south.
Only a few shops in the capital sell it, and the price is higher than ordinary dim sum. Poor neighbors like Nanpa Hutong cannot afford it.
Isiha knew that if he didn't bribe these old men and women, he would never be able to pass the test safely, so he had to take out the cloud cake prepared for his sister in the royal dining room and give it to everyone.
Good guy, the taste of the royal food in the palace immediately conquered the crowd of spectators. No one even scolded them, even the toothless Aunt Sun grabbed four or five slices.
At this moment, a small courtyard at the end of the alley in the shadow of the city wall finally opened. The sister Huaihua and her mother ran out of it. When they saw his embarrassment, they hugged their heads and cried.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuak88"
"You still can't find it at this juncture... We thought you asked the imperial court to send out to fight? Wuwuwu..."
Yisiha's face turned red and he quickly kowtowed to his mother and admitted his mistake, "It's my son's fault for not sending a letter to my family... But it's really because the court has errands and there's nothing we can do... It will be fine in the future, and there will be peace in the future!"
The whole family reunited, and the old men and women who saw this scene were very happy. They all ate cloud cakes and danced with thumbs up, praising Isiha for his filial piety.
The people in the alley were all enjoying themselves and dispersed after saying a few polite words. At this moment, the shadow of the city wall was getting longer and longer, and the small courtyard had been completely swallowed up.
"Huaihua goes to buy noodles... buy another two ounces of yellow sauce and sweet noodle sauce at the entrance of the alley... buy more vegetables and pork belly... don't save money for me, let's eat fried noodles tonight!"
"By the way... get some more wine..."
After closing the courtyard door, Isiha prepared the dinner for the night. Before the girl could blame him for spending money, he directly pulled his mother into the house and took out five or six golden yellow croakers.
"Mom...look!"
Hiss... Both mothers were dumbfounded. "My son! You can't do anything illegal. Don't follow Salonga's example. When the time comes, you will confiscate your home and destroy your family..."
"No... Mother, listen to me... I've climbed a high branch... Manager Lin Lianying and Mr. Li Tuo..."
Isiha lowered his voice and told his mother and daughter about their adventures in the past few days, but he never expected that in the huge shadow of the Xizhimen city wall, a human-shaped shadow was lying on the tiles of their house.
Standing motionless, this was a top-level jounin who was proficient in Fuso Ninjutsu. He was listening carefully to the sounds inside with a copper ear. Every word Isiha said was recorded.
At first, Isiha talked about ransacking the house, but later he knelt down in front of my mother, hugged his legs and cried loudly.
"Mother... my son is unfilial, my son has embarrassed my mother... I... I have done something huge!"
The jounin on the roof's eyes flashed with a look of disbelief. He really didn't expect that this ordinary level monitoring mission would actually yield such a piece of heavy intelligence.
