Lyle and the Dynasty's Edge Chapter 22

Despite the endless calls for longevity, Cecily still took a stick, and the little eunuch's cry was not good! Is he willing? If you don't do it willingly, can you add this to your longevity? What on earth did Leland Li do? She looked at Leland Li. Leland Li was not here, but Prince Gong presented the three telegrams. Cecily read the telegram, ate a few more sticks, and cried out in shock: "What happened? A victory has turned into a defeat! The order was sent to the Renshou Palace to discuss matters."

Arriving at the Hall of Renshou, just a few dozen steps away, Cecily had already found the culprit, shouting angrily: "Lyle Li didn't come to celebrate his birthday, commanded the battle poorly, and negotiated peace without any results. Where did he hide to cool off?"

Leland Li has rushed back from the fire where the young eunuch "immolated himself". He screamed: "Lyle Li, Mr. Li, has come to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager. He is waiting for orders outside the courtyard gate."

Cecily burst out all her anger: "Is there anyone coming to celebrate your birthday so late at night? What is he saying? Tell him to come into the hall." Lyle Li came into the hall. Not long ago, he looked much older, and he knelt down with staggering steps: "Your servant Lyle Li wishes the Empress Dowager a happy sixtieth birthday and a long life. 

Please forgive me for being late, but I have to be late." Cecily looked at Lyle Li who suddenly looked old, and had to suppress her anger, and only uttered a little sourly: "In that case, it is reasonable for you to be late!" Lyle Li got to the point: "In the Korean War, I am guilty of employing the wrong people. But the Japanese were so eager to plot against us that the court was caught off guard. Now the war has moved to Shengjing, and they are preparing to invade Shanhaiguan.
