Lyle and the Dynasty's Edge Chapter 37

Gideon, who had never entered the Forbidden City since he was imprisoned in Yingtai, which was surrounded by lakes on three sides, walked hurriedly as if he was led by Leland Li into the Qianqing Palace. He knelt down and said to Cecily tremblingly: "Your son wishes you the best of health and good luck to your father!" Cecily tried her best to look kind, but still said sourly: "It's good that you came, and I feel at ease, but why didn't you come?" Gideon swallowed his bitter water and said: "If you didn't ask your son to come, you wouldn't dare to come!" Cecily threw out another spicy tone: "If you didn't ask you to come, you wouldn't come? State affairs are state affairs, and family affairs are family affairs." Gideon hurriedly apologized: "This is all my son's fault. I am unfilial and I know my crime." The Empress Dowager Cecily came to Leland Li again: "Your job is getting worse and worse. Why don't you bring a seat and serve tea to the emperor! We can discuss something together."

The poor emperor wants to abolish Li Li but has not yet abolished Li Li. What can we discuss with him? Gideon's heartstrings twisted tightly and his whole body trembled. Is a disaster imminent? But Lyle Li's memorial made him feel at ease, and then a rush of blood rushed through the defense lines in his heart. It seemed that he had returned to the throne of the emperor and reformed the law again, so he praised loudly: "It's still Lyle Li, he He had a unique insight and found a way out of the strategy of "using barbarians to control barbarians"! He boldly concluded that the Eight-Nation Alliance could invade but could not cut it off. 

They had a difficult problem to fight against. "Cecily was so angry! His face turned pale: "Why is there still a saying about me that I can't be saved!" Gideon was so burned that he continued to praise loudly: "It's still Lyle Li. He asked Huang Ama to stay in the capital. It was a clever move and everything was done. It turns out that in the future, the leaders of the Boxer Rebellion and the princes and ministers who supported the Boxer Rebellion will be responsible for punishing the culprits. "Cecily was even more upset. Can he be separated from the people who supported the Boxer Rebellion? He could only ask, "What if Lyle Li didn't make the right move?" Gideon caught the move and quickly turned louder and lowered his voice: "Huang Ama has thought carefully. 

If he makes the wrong move, the whole game will be ruined." No. The emperor's mother took the trouble to go to Taiyuan first and then to Xi'an. She stayed there for a while, waiting for Lyle Li to negotiate peace with the foreign barbarians. "Cecily's expression changed with anger. The blue and white turned into emerald green, what a hairless duck dared to take advantage of the chaos to restore! She wanted to yell, but she tightened her throat and said in a low voice: "Okay, I want to think twice before doing this; okay, you go back first; okay, take two watermelons back to the emperor." It turns out that Yingtai is strictly sealed. Except for three meals a day, no extra things can be brought in. Watermelon is a superfluous thing. It’s such a hot summer, and the emperor hasn’t eaten watermelon yet!
 
Gideon retreated from the palace, and Cecily immediately showed her true face with a ferocious face and yelled at Leland Li: "Who gave him the news and the idea?" Leland Li bowed and said, "Empress Dowager Shengming, who dares to give him the news?" He sent a message to give an idea!" Cecily yelled: "Who has he met?" Leland Li bowed again and said: "The Queen Mother is worried about state affairs. I am afraid that you will be idle again and dare not report it. He and Zhen The Concub!ne met three times. "Cecily stopped yelling and said, "Women are troublesome. Sure enough, Concub!ne Zhen is helping him dream! Sure enough, Concub!ne Zhen also wants to step in and become the empress dowager!"

At this time, Lyle Li had several discussions with the consuls of various countries in Shanghai. The peace talks had generally taken shape, and another telegram came: "Although the situation is very critical and the capital is very difficult to protect, I hope that the two palaces will remain in the capital and remain firm." "Of course there is a sound in the words.
