The smoke and haze of the back mountain are like a crane.

When the spring is approaching, the peach blossoms are scorching everywhere, and the petals are lightly pressed, which is a beautiful color.

"Changsheng, a Taoist priest came outside and said he wanted to see you." Linglong ran in happily.

I put down the tea cup in my hand, rolled up my sleeves, and thought about it: Taoist priest?

I have never been associated with the Taoist priest, what is the origin of this? I'm afraid that the person who came is not good.

I beckoned to let him in. Linglong greeted. I saw that Taoist priest was wearing a straw hat and holding a whisk in his hand. I couldn't see his face clearly.Just that he's probably in his 50s or 60s.

He arched his waist, carefully retracted into the room, and looked around. He can see clearly that there is a scar on his face, he has a thick black beard, his eyes are small, and the corner of his mouth is still a watermelon seed-like mole.

"My son, I think this environment is pretty good, but it's also very strange. Instead of going to the royal family to eat and drink spicy food, he would rather hide in a place like this to enjoy the pain." He put his hands on his hips and looked at the scenery out of the window with his back facing me,and murmured.

After that, Linglong just wanted to draw a sword. I use my eyes to signal her not to be impulsive.

He sneered: "Girl, what year is this now? You are so backward. Almost everyone has a gun to shoot nowadays. I'm afraid this sword will burst out of the forehead before it is pulled out of the scabbard. "

I calmly said, "What is the meaning of what the master just said?"

"Hey? I know the childe's mind, but now the childe's life is the most important thing. Who doesn't know that the zui family only has this single seedling left. It stands to reason that the son should go back to the palace openly and raise Puyi up and be prosperous and wealthy. It's endless. It's crazy to say that the childe，you are dead outside."

I sneered at each other: "Oh? Really? The childe, I am going back now, could it not be sent to death? Yuchi's eyes stared at me fiercely like an old wolf, killing my whole family, how can you let me go? Puyi has people from the Prince's Mansion as assistant, so I’m afraid I’m going to die in vain. Besides, you see that the government has dissipated, and there are still wars outside. Where did the Qing Dynasty come from Xuantong?"

"You are wrong. It's not that the Yuchi family doesn't know your life and death, but they don't want to kill you for the first time. Instead, they want to invite the son back to the palace. As long as the childe is willing, Puyi can sit on the throne. Don't go around the circle, because the full court is gone. Others, you were serving Emperor Guangxu before you were alive. You must know where the Imperial Seal is."

I smiled bitterly: "Haha, isn't the Yuchi family capable of it? Why can't you find a broken rock? However, it is normal that Yingtai can't find it. In places like the palace, there are needles in a haystack. Besides, it was in the beginning. The Empress Dowager Cixi holds great power. I am just a small servant, and I am afraid that you have flattered me."

The Taoist priest had no good intentions, he sighed a few words, and persuaded me to return to the palace. But even if I know the whereabouts of Yuxi, it will be like I said, a broken stone, the world is in chaos, who would be willing to listen to your imperial decree of the emperor.

The sky is depressed, and the road is long. Sparse and light, the sky is clear. The sound of wind and rain in the night, like a willow dance.

I've been through many nights in fear. I didn't dare to sleep too deeply, I was afraid that a knife from Yuchi's family would pierce my throat and die unclearly. I am not afraid of death, but before death, I still have things to do.

An uneasy light floated on Li Xun's face, staring at me for a long time, and then he stopped talking.

I poured a bucket of tea, "You want to ask me if I'm in the palace."

He pounded, "Um".

I talked slowly: "Do you know what I want most now? That is that they can look down. I now suspect that the affairs of the Summer Palace have something to do with the Yuchi family. Huo Yuzhu married Yuchi gong’s brother, Chun'an’s former name Yuchi an, It was adopted by Yu chi yun in Huanglang Mountain. After knowing this, I realized that things were not that simple. My grandfather had reprimanded Yu chi yun at the beginning, but I did not expect that the bloody hatred would arise from this time."

"Changsheng, you..." Li Xunran was shocked.

"Li Xun, thank you for your help. This time looking for Yuxi is a good time to enter the palace. This way, I have a chance to go to the palace for revenge, and I will not worry about my life. As long as I don't tell the whereabouts of Yuxi for a day, They won't kill me. Similarly, when little Puyi takes the position, I will have the same opportunity to take advantage of Yuchi. Therefore, I will enter the palace tomorrow." I vowed.

I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists.

Chu Huan held a basin of hot water, and suddenly stopped.

"Changsheng, don't be like this. I'm afraid of you being like this. Linglong says you are weird these days, and even the tone of your usual speech is very strange. What's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, we will help you. Overcoming difficulties." Chu Huan's voice trembled slightly.

Even Leng Qi said that Xiaosheng had already realized, let him go.

I looked back suddenly, put on the plain cloak, and gently tied a bow on my chest. There is no baggage to take care of, people go to the tea and cool, and the song ends.

"Because, nothing can be done without paying the price. Similarly, I have to achieve my goal, and I have to pay the price. After experiencing some sorrows and joys, feeling the cold of blood is a permanent scar." I Said lightly.

Linglong jumped out from nowhere: "Stay! Changsheng, Leng Qi and I are willing to go with you!"

"No, someone must stay here, the five of us, except me, I don't allow anyone to be threatened with their lives." I said firmly.

Li Xun was expressionless: "Chu Huan stayed with me, and Leng Qi followed along the way, maybe we can take care of each other."

"Never mind," I handed over to edit, "Farewell. Treasure!"

Riding a horse, waving a long whip, galloping, rushed out of this bamboo forest.

Running around along the way, but the spring breeze was rough; only the exquisite and dim gaze stayed behind for a long time in the small thatched cottage thousands of miles away.

I said to Leng Qi that since he entered the palace with him, he might encounter danger at any time. I asked him whether he regretted it. Will you remember me if you die one day? Have you ever been scared?

He cast a face coldly on the floor and did not reply.

Linglong exclaimed: "No! Even if you lose your life, you won't. Live and die together, right, Lord Leng?"

Leng Qi nodded slightly, silently.

In the autumn, the birds roost, and the snow has only faded, and the garden is full of spring. Light palace peach, the fragrance spreads far.

The gate of the palace was unguarded, and the palace was deserted, with only a few sad peaches, the spring breeze blowing on the face, and the scorching petals all withered.

I went back to the Qing Palace full of darkness, and I couldn't help but remind me of the sad reminders of the summer palace that year, the brutal beatings in broad daylight, the loneliness in the cage, the torture in the ice pool, and all the unhappiness.

For six years, when I was under house arrest in Yingtai, I often remembered the past in Hanyuan Hall. How many nights have I woke up in nightmares, in a cold sweat; I once dreamed that one day when I returned to the Qing Palace, I was caught on the fire again.

The Taoist smiled so that his eyes narrowed into a gap, holding Xiao Puyi in his hand, and seeing me, he couldn't even close his mouth from ear to ear.

"Little emperor, please give your regards to the lorder zui," he said, he asked Pu Yi to bow his waist, bowed with him, and then continued with a smile, "Lorder zui, I didn’t expect that you actually make a decision in just two days, my lord. It's really decisive and wise. You see, I don't know you were driving far away, so quickly I led the little emperor up without any preparation."

I glanced at the child and smiled: "Interesting. In my opinion, you should have changed your career and not be a vegetarian at all. It is not bad to come to this palace to be the eunuch of the little emperor, and you will no longer call yourself the old monk in the future. If you are a newcomer and still don’t know the rules, you’re called a minion. But that’s all, you can only be called a minion.”

He seemed to blush with a thick neck, his eyes were wide open, his body trembled, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

After a while, I respectfully invited me to sit in the Palace of Wenhua, waiting for Prince Jin Zaifeng to drive.

Zaifeng is now the regent of the Qing Dynasty. He is different from Emperor Guangxu, but the two have similar characteristics. The purpose of Prince Chun was only to maintain the remaining power of the Qing Dynasty. Seeing the daylight, the Qing Dynasty will soon be ruined, and he does not want to be the ruler of the last subjugated country.

Prince Chun is handsome, not necessarily in any appearance, slightly inferior to his brother Emperor Guangxu, but seems to be a sleek, principled person.

He sat in the hall, pondered for a moment, condensed his eyes, and then said, "Master Zui, I know that you were following the emperor's brother at the beginning, and if you are called into the palace this time, you must be able to understand the meaning of my words."

I cleared my throat: "I'm afraid I will disappoint the prince. You must be aware that after the end of the reform, Emperor Zaitian was placed under house arrest by the Queen Mother at Yingtai, Zhongnanhai. Six years ago, Changsheng was also placed under house arrest at Yingtai and his entourage. The first emperor. The empress dowager holds great power. Emperor Guangxu is famous but has no real power. A piece of jade seal cannot control the Qing Dynasty."

"What do you mean?" Prince Chun looked at me sadly.

"Outside there are confusions, movements and revolutions, the most powerful force of the Qing Dynasty has disappeared. Looking at the Qing Dynasty, there is only one force from the Yuchi family. Changsheng thinks that the Qing Dynasty will not last long; it is better to join hands together. Fighting the enemy, this is the right way," I whispered, "However, if the prince insists, Changsheng can help you find the jade seal. But before you get the imperial jade seal,I have a request."

"Lord Zui, please tell me."

I leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Help me enter Yuchi's house, and give me a death-free charm."

"This..." He seemed suspicious, "Never mind."

In fact, I did this for my own reasons. But this is bound to accelerate the disappearance of the Qing Dynasty, whether it disappears, sooner or later, the revolutionary group has been established, the guns are everywhere, foreigners have entered, and a ruined regime, vulgar rule, is about to end long ago. The feudal dynasty must have ended in this way.

As a result, I can have a chance for revenge. Even if I failed to completely destroy Yuchi's house, I would do it; as long as I can enter Yuchi's mansion, I will definitely do my best to get revenge.

Secondly, even if I failed to send them both grandparents and grandchildren on the road, I could still save my life and avoid death, I don't believe that they can resist. The Yuchi family is very loyal to the royal family and regards the imperial power as God; but even so, once the Yuchi family feels that the Qing Dynasty is helping me, or that the Yuchi family itself is useless, at that moment, the Yuchi family will find a way to overthrow this disability regime.

Isn't this what I want? Leng Qi told me that only by living can I do more meaningful things; yes, he is right, as long as I live, I can fulfill my aunt's long-cherished wish, the mission of the zui family, and go to the vast and bloody city.

The wine is sobering up and the clouds are scattered, leaning on the building to overlook the vivacious birds and burning peaches.
