Secret History of Promiscuity Series─Cixi (Family Incest Adult Novel)

When Emperor Tongzhi was one year old, Emperor Xianfeng was very pleased and proud of his son, so he lavishly celebrated the prince's birthday by holding a state banquet. Lan'er, now the Imperial Concubine Cixi, sat next to Emperor Xianfeng, on his right, with a happy smile on her face.

Eunuch Li Lianying was a man with a strong desire for power. He had heard a little about Concubine Cixi's background because he had been in the palace for several years. Li Lianying knew that since Cixi had received the Emperor Xianfeng's letter, she would gradually climb up the ladder and take control of everything in the palace.

Li Lianying thought that if he wanted to live a good life in the palace in the future, he must curry favor with Concubine Cixi. So, Li Lianying took advantage of the time when the emperor was talking to other ministers to secretly chat with Concubine Cixi and pretended not to care.

When Cixi saw that Li Lianying was eloquent, she thought of him as just someone to chat with, who could help relieve her boredom in the lonely palace. From then on, Cixi and Li Lianying became increasingly close, and Cixi even affectionately called Li Lianying "Little Li".

However, since ancient times, there have been few emperors who were truly devoted, and Emperor Xianfeng was certainly no exception. Xianfeng gradually distanced himself from Cixi and turned his attention to the four Jiangnan women in the "Old Summer Palace", naming them the "Four Springs". The "Four Springs" are "Peony Spring", "Apricot Forest Spring", "Wuling Spring" and "Begonia Spring", which were the names given to them by Emperor Xianfeng.

Emperor Xianfeng spent every day in the Old Summer Palace with the "Four Springs". Sometimes, when they were in a sexual mood, they would have sex and laugh in the open air, replacing the chirping of orioles and swallows in the Old Summer Palace with obscene words, and replacing the flowers, trees, carved buildings and painted buildings in the Old Summer Palace with pools of wine and meat.

In the Kunning Palace of the Forbidden City, Empress Niuhuru seemed to be a widow living alone in her empty room, but she was dignified and reserved by nature, and when she saw her husband leave her arms she could only feel sad in secret and dared not show her anger.

However, Cixi was different from the Empress in terms of generosity. She went from a poor life to entering the palace to experience luxury and then rose to become a royal concubine. Her rapid rise in life made her more ambitious. On the one hand, she wanted to preserve her current status, and on the other hand, the temptation of power forced her to work hard to get to the top.

Furthermore, after the nights of passion during the period when Emperor Xianfeng favored Cixi, she experienced all the pleasures of sexual intercourse between men and women. Although she did not dare to say it, she was addicted to the pleasure and climax in her heart. She was chaste on the surface but extremely lustful in her heart.

Therefore, Cixi could not stand the feeling of being demoted from the high heaven to the abyss; with Little Leo adding fuel to the fire and even giving her advice, when all her flattery methods could not keep Xianfeng's beating heart, she accepted Little Leo's suggestion: "... the Emperor will not return if the 'Four Springs' are not removed... he cannot even 'favor the six harems'... " 'Favor the six harems', what a moving and desirable word.

Little Li once said to Cixi: "... According to what I know, Mudanchun had a lover before she entered the palace, but I am not sure now. If I can dig up their shameful past, I can expel them from the palace at the least, or even take their lives at the worst..."

Therefore, Cixi pretended to be very humble to approach the "Four Springs", and tried every means to understand everything about them, trying to find some handle to attack them, just as Xiao Lizi said: "... Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will win every battle..."

As expected, Cixi not only found out that before entering the palace, "Mudanchun" had a cousin and lover named "Gong Banlun", who was an advisor to the British Wade-Giles in Shanghai. Moreover, during casual conversation, the "Four Springs" talked openly about the pleasures they had in bed with Emperor Xianfeng, which not only made Cixi feel uncomfortable, but also aroused her long-lost lust.

The lonely pillow and cold quilt made Cixi toss and turn in sleep. She seemed to hear Xianfeng's whispers and heavy breathing in her ears... She seemed to hear her own cries and moans of pleasure... She thought of Xianfeng's thick penis... She thought of Ronglu... Unconsciously, Cixi's hand reached into the back of her clothes and pinched her like Xianfeng's fingers; reached into her crotch and inserted it like Ronglu's fingers inserted it... Then, she fell asleep in a series of twitching and shaking.

At daybreak, Little Li went to Cixi's bedroom as usual to help her wash and dress and wait for orders. This was the eunuch's job and also a privilege granted by Cixi. Little Leo approached the bed without hesitation. In the dim light, he saw Cixi's clothes were open, revealing a pair of proud and erect breasts, which rose and fell slightly with the rhythm of her breathing. Her skirt had been pulled down to her knees, revealing her snow-white and soft thighs, her pubic mound with lush hair and a protruding vagina. A closer look revealed that not only were Cixi's vulva and pubic hair covered in wet liquid, as if it were morning dew; the bed sheets were even more muddy, as if a flood had just receded.

This alluring spring scene made the clean-shaven little Leo blush and feel hot and anxious, but his penis could not raise its head, and he could not help but sigh: "... God is playing tricks on me... God is playing tricks on me..." One was lonely in her empty boudoir and wanted comfort; the other was in front of beauty but could not get what she wanted. However, due to his male nature, Little Leo ignored the master-servant ethics and stretched out his trembling hand to touch the buds on Cixi's breasts.

There were many concubines who had fallen out of favor in the palace. Some of them could not suppress their lustful desires and once tempted Leo to "serve" them. Firstly, apart from the palace maids, the eunuchs were the ones who got along closest to the concubines all day long; secondly, when having sex with the eunuchs, one would not have to worry about getting pregnant or getting into trouble. Although eunuchs cannot really satisfy their pussies, it is absolutely safe and better than nothing.

Waves of tingling and comfort like electric shocks gradually woke Cixi, who was just having a wet dream. At first, she thought it was a real dream, and her inner desire surged. She twisted and moaned slightly. When Cixi felt something was not right, she opened her eyes and saw Little Leo staring at her and caressing her infatuatedly.

Cixi reacted naturally, grabbing Xiao Lizi's hand and was about to shake it off, but in a flash, she suddenly turned her grip around and pressed Xiao Lizi's palm against her chest, and said softly, "Xiao Lizi! You are so bold, how dare you be so presumptuous, aren't you afraid that this is a capital crime!"

Little Li gently touched his palms and said with a grin, "As long as the Majesty is happy, I will die for you." Little Li gently pinched Cixi's elastic breasts and said, "Is the Majesty comfortable?"

"...Hmm...Oh..." The pleasure of the caressing made Cixi breathe faster and hum: "...Hmm...where...did you learn...Hmm...so...good...touch...Hmm...harder...Hmm...comfortable...ah...ah..."

Little Li put one hand aside, rubbing the smooth skin, slowly moving it down to the lower abdomen. Unable to resist the wonderful touch, he couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty's skin is so smooth and tender, it is a million times better than other concubines..."

The intoxicated Cixi immediately noticed Xiao Lizi's slip of the tongue. A hypothesis flashed through her mind, so she reached out to attack Xiao Lizi's crotch; at the same time she said with a slight frown: "I dare say you haven't cleansed your body..." Before she could finish her words, Cixi's hand grabbed nothing under Xiao Lizi's crotch, and the excitement that was about to rise suddenly fell into a deep valley.

Perhaps Leo was used to such embarrassing situations. He just shrank his body slightly and allowed Cixi's hand to search for his "treasure" under his crotch, with only a fleeting look of inferiority and regret on his face. Little Li explained: "Your Majesty, I have really been purified, although..." Little Li hesitated and continued: "Although I don't have what a man should have, I have ways to make Your Majesty happy..." At this time, Little Li's middle finger had already penetrated into Cixi's vagina and was digging into it.

"Hmm... Hmm..." The part that Xiao Lizi was fingering was exactly the part that Cixi was itching for due to long-term abstinence from lust. With just a slight touch, Cixi felt a surge of heat rolling in her lower abdomen. She could not help but twist her trembling waist and hips to welcome Xiao Lizi's fingers. She panted rapidly and moaned obscenely, "Hmm... Harder... Use... Hmm... Deeper... Ah... Come again... Come again... Hmm... Yes... Oh... Good... Hmm..."

Little Leo's "Finger Magic" is indeed extraordinary. First, he pointed to the Central Plains with his middle finger, then he added his index finger to form a "sword gesture", and now it has become a three-finger "hand-penetrating" technique that is rotating in Cixi's wet pussy. As Cixi was hit by these moves, she had no chance to fight back except to gasp for air and scream delicately.

A steady stream of wet liquid poured out from the mouth of the cunt, soaking Xiao Lizi's palm, covering the entire vagina, and even soaking a large area of ​​the mattress...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Before the Anglo-French allied forces invaded the Qing Dynasty, Britain and France jointly negotiated with the Qing Dynasty, but they failed to reach a peace agreement, which made Emperor Xianfeng feel distressed and annoyed.

Cixi seized this opportunity to advise Emperor Xianfeng, saying, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the negotiations with Britain and France anymore. You can leave it to Gong Banlun!"

Xianfeng was puzzled and asked, "Who is Gong Banlun?"

"Oh, so the emperor knows nothing! Then I really shouldn't have said so much..." Cixi stopped talking deliberately to keep people in suspense.

Xianfeng shouted angrily, "What on earth is going on? Tell me!"

"Gong Banlun is the advisor of the British Wade-Giles. The British trust him very much... He is the cousin of 'Mudanchun'..." Cixi pretended to be guilty and spoke in a lower and lower voice: "... I heard that 'Mudanchun' had a relationship with him before entering the palace..." "Pah! Xianfeng slammed his palm on the table and shouted angrily: "Someone come... imprison Mudanchun... I want to interrogate her personally..."

Perhaps in Xianfeng's heart, teaching a lesson to the unfaithful woman seemed more important than negotiating with Britain and France, but he was also happy that Cixi had gotten rid of the thorn in her side because Xianfeng was back with her.

Soon, the British and French allied forces approached Beijing, causing panic among the people in the city. Xianfeng was indeed good at romance and debauchery, but when it came to dealing with foreigners, he was helpless. Therefore, the task of reviewing memorials and drafting imperial edicts was handed over to Cixi, and a jade seal with the word "Tongdaotang" was specially carved for her. All imperial edicts with the seal of "Tongdaotang" were regarded as approved by the emperor himself.

In this way, Xianfeng was happy to turn a blind eye and pursue his cowardly dream of peace, which also enabled Cixi to take the first step in participating in the government.

Later, the situation became increasingly tense, so in the tenth year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign, the emperor, empress, ministers, and concubines all left the palace and sought refuge in Rehe.

After Emperor Xianfeng and his entourage arrived in Rehe, Gong Banlun also led dozens of British troops into the Old Summer Palace to look for his beloved cousin "Mudanchun". At this time, "Mudanchun" was still imprisoned in prison. Gong Banlun, who could not find her anywhere, was so angry that he ordered the burning of the Old Summer Palace.

In her attempt to escape, "Xinghuachun" was shot dead by the British army. "Haitangchun" committed suicide by jumping into Fuhai when she had no one to turn to for help. Even "Wulingchun" hanged herself in her room to remain loyal to her. Only "Mudanchun" was rescued safely. This news later reached the palace in Rehe. Xianfeng was so sad that he almost fainted, and only Cixi was laughing secretly.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Since Emperor Xianfeng was a cowardly person, the struggle for power among his ministers was quite fierce, among which Sushun was the most powerful minister. He saw that the current situation was quite unfavorable to him, especially after three of the "Four Springs" died and one left, Xianfeng was even more fond of Cixi. How could he not be worried!

However, Sushun had experienced power struggles for a long time and soon knew how to deal with it, so he was able to remove the problem from the root and solve it once and for all. Su Shun was determined to use his beauty to seize Cixi's position in Xianfeng's heart, so he sent a number of people to search secretly, and soon found someone.

It turned out that the woman Sushun was after was a widow with bound feet from Shanxi. At that time, the women with bound feet in Shanxi were famous throughout the country. Not only did they have fair skin that looked boneless, but their arms were also very plump and round, which could really make those who liked to engage in obscene activities feel ecstatic and almost die of ecstasy. The widow Cao that Sushun found was the beauty with pointed neck and small feet. Her small feet, which were so small that they could be held in one hand, were especially beautiful when she walked with her lotus steps slowly and her hips trembling slightly. Her body fragrance could be smelled in his nose before he even arrived. Although the "Four Springs" in the Old Summer Palace were also beauties with bound feet, their buttocks were thin and flat, and they were not as charming as Widow Cao.

Su Shun was convinced that Widow Cao would be able to resist Cixi, so he kept her in his own mansion and then found an opportunity to arrange for her to meet Xianfeng. Sure enough, when Xianfeng saw Widow Cao, he was shocked by her beauty and of course couldn't help but want to try her out.

As soon as Su Shun excused himself and sent away the guards and servants, Xianfeng hugged Widow Cao tightly in his arms during the banquet, kissing and sniffing her passionately. Widow Cao also teased Xianfeng in a half-hearted and half-willing manner, making him very aroused and unable to stop.

Widow Cao's most powerful weapon is her plump and delicate body, and she is also very good at using the advantages of her body. Widow Cao, acting coy, intentionally or unintentionally rubbed her breasts against Xianfeng's chest. To Xianfeng, the soft touch felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, like a lightning strike.

"Hiss...hiss..." Xianfeng frantically tore off Widow Cao's clothes and bellyband, and two pieces of plump flesh bounced out, so white that Xianfeng felt dizzy.

"Ah! Your Majesty...don't..." Widow Cao looked shy, covering her chest with her hands, but leaning closer to him like a little bird.

"Come! Let me take a look..." Xianfeng gently moved Widow Cao's elbow. Widow Cao had no strength to resist and allowed her proud breasts to be fully visible. Even Xianfeng, who was experienced in the use of cosmetics, could not help but swallow his saliva and praised: "Good, good! As the saying goes, 'one inch more is too fat, one inch less is too thin', good! Good..." As he spoke, he began to rub the nipples with his index finger and thumb.

The lustful widow Cao met the frivolous Emperor Xianfeng, and they were equally matched. In a short while, Widow Cao's nipple went from soft to hard, and from light vermilion to scarlet. Xianfeng could even feel through his fingers the small fleshy buds popping up on the nipple like bamboo shoots after a rain. They felt rough but delicate; hard but tender.

"Hmm... Your Majesty... Hmm... Touching and kneading like this... Hmm... It feels so... comfortable... Hmm... Ah..." At this point, Widow Cao seemed to have forgotten to be reserved any longer. The surging desire in her heart forced her to express it through moaning and gasping. The heat in the body flowed through the limbs and gradually condensed under the lower abdomen, forming a stream of itchy water that flowed deep into Widow Cao's vagina.

Widow Cao's face was as red as the sunset, her whole body was trembling convulsively, her nostrils slightly covered with sweat were fluttering with her breathing, and it was hard to recognize her extreme lust. Her hands were rubbing and kneading on Xianfeng's legs, gradually searching for her target.

"ah! "Widow Cao's fingers grasped the hard object under Xianfeng's crotch through the circle of cloth. She felt so surprised as if she had found a treasure that she cheered and excited in her heart. The rare and thick cock among thousands of people made Widow Cao excited, and she immediately fell into the anticipation and fantasy of the cock being inserted. Widow Cao seemed to be able to anticipate the ecstasy, and her fingers could not help but stroke greedily.

Although Xianfeng was surprised at Widow Cao's initiative, the comfortable feeling of her rubbing his penis added fuel to the fire, and he quickly freed one hand to untie his belt. Widow Cao looked at Xianfeng's anxious and flustered expression and couldn't help but smile coquettishly, then she also reached out to help.

"Swish!" 'The penis was like a dragon that had escaped from its cage, standing tall towards the sky. When Widow Cao saw it, she found it to be truly extraordinary. An inexplicable impulse made her bend down and kiss it. "Tsk!" Tsk! Um! "Widow Cao carefully licked the scarlet glans with the tip of her tongue, and occasionally opened her little mouth to hold and suck it, making Xianfeng tremble with itchiness and sourness.

"...Hurry... stop teasing... oh... it feels so good... oh... hurry... let me... put... put it... into you... um... hurry..." Xianfeng endured the extreme excitement, urging with a blushing face and panting, his hands still rubbing the widow Cao's naked back.

"Yes, sir!" Widow Cao said playfully as she stood up, spread her legs and sat on Xianfeng's thighs. The entrance to her vagina was almost invisible due to the thick pubic hair, but the penis seemed to be very skilled in it and disappeared under her crotch in a flash. "Sizzle!" 'At the moment of connection, they both cried "Ah!" at the same time, and time seemed to stand still. The tightness, fullness, swelling, dampness and heat filled the two people's hearts with indescribable comfort.

Widow Cao's plump, snow-white, round buttocks rose and fell rhythmically, and she could feel her labia flipping in the movement; she could also feel the cock shrinking and swelling, and jumping in her vagina; the glans hit her so powerfully that it seemed to throw her into the sky.

Xianfeng's hands were busy caressing Widow Cao's body, and his lips were busy intercepting her bouncing breasts. He seemed unsatisfied and thrust his lower body forward, as if he wanted to pierce her body with his penis and push it up hard.

Xianfeng's penis was twitching violently in the wet vagina. The round bump on the glans scraped against the inner wall of the vagina, producing waves of friction pleasure. Widow Cao moaned in ecstasy, but still did not forget to stick out her belly and move her vagina towards the eager penis. She just felt numb all over, light and as if she was flying.

As soon as Xianfeng felt the sudden numbness and soreness in his penis, he grabbed Widow Cao's waist tightly, pumped hard and thrust hard, then hugged her tightly, breathing rapidly. Widow Cao felt that Xianfeng's penis was deeply inserted into her vagina. Although there was no pumping movement, the feeling of the glans throbbing and the penis shrinking and swelling gave her a special feeling in her heart.

Suddenly, a stream of scalding hot liquid rushed into the vagina without warning. "Ah! Uh! Oh!" The two shouted excitedly, one after another amidst the trembling and twitching...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

As soon as they had sex, Widow Cao's seductive skills in bed made Xianfeng intoxicated and almost in ecstasy. After several attempts at sexual intercourse with him, Widow Cao became pregnant.

According to the ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty, Han women could not be named concubines. However, once they had children, in order to maintain the royal bloodline, Widow Cao should be named a noble concubine.

This incident made Cixi panic. After thinking calmly, she realized that her power was in jeopardy, so she went to see the empress and reported to her: "The emperor is really getting more and more outrageous. At a time when the foreign devils are forcing my court, not only does he not concentrate on handling state affairs, but he also gets a Chinese woman. This is not a big deal. The woman is actually a widow. It is said that before she had contact with the emperor, she was a prostitute. Now she is pregnant, and the emperor wants to bring her into the palace. Doesn't this destroy the system? If it gets out, it will definitely make the people of the world laugh at it."

Empress Niuhuru was a kind-hearted person. After hearing what Cixi said, she did not expect that Cixi had ulterior motives, so she said, "It is indeed wrong for the emperor to do this. I will talk to him about this." After hearing this, Cixi was so happy that she wanted to laugh.

However, when the Queen met the Emperor, she said kindly, "Now that the matter has been settled, as a king, you certainly cannot abandon her after having an affair with her. So you should bring the woman back to the palace and make her a concubine after she gives birth. However, this incident has caused great damage to the Emperor's reputation. I hope that the Emperor will be more restrained in the future to avoid being ridiculed by the people."

Faced with these righteous words, although Xianfeng was unhappy, he had no reason to refuse and could only agree.

When Cixi heard the result, she cried out "Not good!" in her heart and became depressed and gloomy the whole day. Fortunately, Little Leo gave her some advice and put medicine in Widow Cao's food to cause her to have a miscarriage.

As for the miscarriage of Widow Cao, many people did not believe that she, who had always been strong and healthy, would have a miscarriage. Especially Emperor Xianfeng, who suspected that it was Cixi who did it, but he just didn't find any evidence.

From then on, Xianfeng no longer trusted Cixi. The reason was not only because of Widow Cao's miscarriage, but also because Cixi's ambition to seize power was slowly exposed after she took charge of the "Tongxiaotang Seal" and was responsible for approving memorials and imperial edicts. In particular, her wit and decisiveness frightened Xianfeng, who felt that such a woman would be a disaster, but he did not dare to take any action to exclude her.

(III. End)

Since Emperor Xianfeng fled to Rehe, on the one hand he was worried about the destruction of his country and his family; on the other hand he indulged himself in despair. In order to curry favor with the emperor, Sushun repeatedly used the beauty trap to try to win Emperor Xianfeng's heart.

Poor Xianfeng reveled in Rehe for nearly a hundred days, but under the influence of wine and sex, which were like a double axe chopping down wood, he finally exhausted his body and fell ill. On July 16, the eleventh year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign, Emperor Xianfeng knew that he could no longer survive, so he summoned all the ministers into the palace and drafted an imperial edict to appoint Zaichun as the crown prince. He also wrote a secret letter and gave it to Empress Niuhuru.

Xianfeng said to the Empress, "… Imperial Concubine Yi (Cixi) is extremely ambitious, cruel and resolute. After I leave, if there is anything unusual, you must kill her first. This secret letter contains my seal. When the time comes, you only need to use it to order the Imperial Guards to execute it…"

Queen Ren looked at the secret letter and couldn't help but say, "Maybe the emperor has read it wrong! Imperial Concubine Yi is a very good person. Everyone in the palace praises her very much..."

Xianfeng knew that there was no way to make the empress accept the braid, so he could only say: "I am absolutely not wrong. Today, only I can kill her. After I am gone, no one can do anything to her. Alas!..."

The next day, Emperor Xianfeng passed away.

Zaichun ascended the throne in accordance with the will and became Emperor Muzong. The Empress and Cixi also followed the ancestral system. The Empress, Niuhuru, was honored as the Mother Empress Dowager, with the title "Empress Dowager Ci'an"; and the Imperial Concubine Yi was honored as the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, with the title "Empress Dowager Cixi". Later generations called them "Empress Dowager East (Ci'an) and Empress Dowager West (Cixi)" respectively.

Although Cixi had become the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, she was still not satisfied because the power of the government was still controlled by Sushun. In particular, whenever the East and West Palaces asked about the funeral, Sushun always said: "... This matter will be handled by me and a group of kings and ministers. The two Empress Dowagers do not need to ask..."

Moreover, Sushun ordered all the soldiers of the Firearms and Refined Battalion under his command to surround the Rehe Palace, under the pretext of garrisoning and guarding, but in fact to cut off the two palaces from the outside world.

On the day of Emperor Xianfeng's death, there was an imperial edict asking Prince Gong Yizhen to come and handle the funeral. When Prince Gong was about to leave, he received an imperial edict from Sushun stopping him from going. Since he was Xianfeng's younger brother, he had to be among the funeral staff. However, after receiving two different imperial edicts, he became aware that the situation in Rehe must be complicated, so he actively sent people to investigate what was going on.

The two Empress Dowagers in the Rehe Palace also saw Sushun's ambition and the tricks he was playing in secret, and tried their best to contact Prince Gong, hoping that Prince Gong could help them out and prevent Sushun's ambition from succeeding.

What Sushun was most worried about was that once Cixi returned to Beijing, she would compete with him for power, so he made all kinds of excuses and was unwilling to let the two Empress Dowagers return to Beijing. Sushun kept making excuses, saying, "…The late emperor's funeral and the Empress Dowager's and the Emperor's return are important matters. How dare I hinder them? I am just afraid that the capital is not stable yet, so I am a little hesitant..."

When Cixi learned that Prince Gong had joined forces with the princes and ministers to write a letter requesting the two palaces and Su Shun to escort the coffin back to Beijing as soon as possible, she seemed to have taken a reassurance pill and said to Su Shun in a tough tone: "...I heard that the capital has been quiet, there is no need to worry anymore, it is better to go back early..."

Although Sushun agreed reluctantly, he cursed in his heart: "Huh! A mere palace maid dares to be so arrogant. I must teach her a lesson. "Su Shun returned to his residence and discussed countermeasures with Duanhua and Zaiyuan in great anger.

"Based on the current situation, we have to send her back to Beijing," Duanhua said.

"But sending her back to Beijing would undoubtedly be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, which would be very disadvantageous to us," Zaiyuan said.

When the three were thinking hard about countermeasures, Sushun suddenly said, "Why not just kill that woman and eliminate the trouble in the future?"

The assassination plan planned by Sushun and others was to start at Gubeikou, but the Empress Dowager Cixi was extremely alert. She knew that she would encounter many obstacles and even be killed on her way back to Beijing, so she took every step carefully and cautiously to be prepared for any eventuality.

Cixi also secretly ordered Ronglu, the commander of the Imperial Guard, to lead a team of soldiers to provide protection along the way. Ronglu knew that Cixi was facing greater difficulties than ever before, so he always stayed by Cixi's side every day to protect her safety. As a result, Sushun, Zaiyuan and Duanhua had no choice but to watch helplessly as they missed the opportunity and allowed Cixi to return to Beijing safely.

On September 29th of the eleventh year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Muzong arrived safely at the northwest gate of the capital. Prince Gong led the ministers out of the city to welcome him. After returning to the capital, Cixi cried to Prince Gong and the ministers about how Sushun persecuted orphans and widows and how he was authoritarian and domineering. She spoke with tears in her eyes and her singing was excellent.

So, Grand Secretary Zhou Zupei submitted a memorial, which not only denounced Sushun's obvious ambition, but also requested the two palaces to rule the country from behind the curtain and help the young emperor decide state affairs. The next day, Prince Gong arrested Sushun, Zaiyuan, Duanhua and others, sent them to the clan house and imprisoned them, and executed them soon after. When Sushun and the other three were dying, they all cursed Cixi and Prince Gong. Sushun cursed more and more fiercely, and even brought out Cixi's history: "...Ye Chi was the one who destroyed Jianzhou..." But no one paid any attention to him.

Grand Secretary Zhou Zupei also submitted a proposal to change the reign title. The two Empress Dowagers then issued an edict, ordering the Prince Regent, the Grand Councilor and others to draft a new reign title for the emperor. The Prince Regent looked at Ci'an and Cixi silently, then respectfully drafted the word "Tongzhi" and presented it to them.

When Cixi saw these two words, she implied that the two Empress Dowagers would govern together, and she was secretly comforted. She ordered that the next year be designated as the first year of Tongzhi and announced it to the world. On the Jiazi day of October of the same year, the six-year-old Emperor Tongzhi performed the enthronement ceremony again in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and accepted congratulations from princes, ministers and others, while the two Empress Dowagers sat in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and listened to government affairs. In this way, Empress Dowager Cixi truly gained power.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After Sushun and others were executed, the officials of the court all obeyed Cixi, allowing her to realize her dream of taking power. However, now that Cixi had no worries, she began to indulge in sexual desires.

Cixi's first priority was to promote Ronglu to the position of Minister of Internal Affairs. She explained to others that she and Ronglu were uncle and nephew, but in fact she wanted to take the opportunity to meet with her old lover in secret. However, when Ronglu met Cixi, he tried his best to suppress the impulse in his heart. He always treated her with respect as the Empress Dowager, never overstepping the mark, and even his expression was serious. Although Cixi was unhappy in her heart, she couldn't say it out loud, which was really frustrating.

That night, Cixi was unable to fall asleep because of her lonely pillow and cold quilt, so she wandered around the bedroom alone. When the clever little Lizi saw her lost look, he knew what she was thinking about.

Little Li came forward to greet her and said, "The night-blooming cereus in my long house has bloomed. Your Majesty, why don't you go over there to relax?"

Cixi thought: "It's the time when I can't bear the sight of a real man. Although I can't get the comfort of a real man, this little Leo's "oral skills" can satisfy my craving. 'And he agreed. Cixi also didn't want to alarm others and avoid causing trouble and having their affair discovered, so she let Little Li lead the way and walk all the way there.

As soon as Cixi arrived at Xiao Lizi's room, she felt a little tired, so she sat down to rest for a while. By chance, Cixi saw a shiny fruit plate on the window table, on which was a bunch of purple grapes, which looked crystal clear and fresh.

"Little Leo! Where did this come from? Why don't I have it?" Cixi asked.
