The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 93: The Man of Destiny of the Qing Dynasty (Fourth Update)
When Emperor Xianfeng was doubting the health of Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan, the future Empress Dowager Cixi, was smiling and looking at her master Xianfeng with worry! This sickly person with a pointed face and monkey cheeks didn't know how to take good care of himself. He drank a lot of cigarettes and alcohol every day, which made his body empty and he had no energy at night!
Alas, it doesn't look like it will last long! I don't know what the late emperor was thinking, why did he pass the throne to him? It would be great if he passed it to Prince Gong! Prince Gong is so strong, full of martial arts, and his black face looks like a dragon and a tiger, and he doesn't have any bad habits. If I pass the throne to him, then I will be... Oh, why did you think of this?

When she thought of Prince Gong, Concubine Lan's face turned red. She looked so pink and tender, and very lovable.

Xianfeng thought: She must have thought of me! Oh, she's still winking at me. Don't worry, I'll turn over your card tonight!
Xianfeng and Concubine Lan were in love when a small boat quietly approached. A eunuch boarded the boat and whispered a few words to An Dehai who was standing outside the cabin. Eunuch An turned around and walked into the cabin of the boat. He came to the side of Emperor Xianfeng who was leaning on the couch smoking a foreign cigarette and whispered, "Your Highness, the Sixth Master is here."

"Old Six is ​​coming at this time?" Xianfeng took another puff of his foreign cigarette and pondered for a while, "Is it related to the Bull Demon King? Then let's meet one!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to go to the Qinzheng Qinxian Palace?" An Dehai asked again.

"No need," Xianfeng waved his hand, "We are all family, why bother? Ask Lao Liu to come aboard."

"twitter!"

An Dehai agreed, turned around and went out.

At this time, Lady Lan on the dragon boat also stood up, as if to leave. Xianfeng waved his hand again and said, "Sixth Brother is my brother, you don't have to avoid me. First, put away the pipe and lamp for me."

"I obey your command." Concubine Lan agreed and began to help Emperor Xianfeng pack up his cigarettes.

Although Xianfeng liked this kind of cigarettes, he also knew that smoking foreign cigarettes was wrong, so he didn't want Yi Xin, the "good boy", to see it.

After a long while, when the sun was setting, a light boat finally carried the "good boy of the Qing Dynasty" Prince Gong Yixin onto the dragon boat where Emperor Xianfeng was. As soon as he boarded the boat, Yixin, who had a very sensitive nose, smelled the lingering smell of foreign cigarettes.

Yi Xin was so heartbroken! A poor student who was addicted to drugs, lame, numb, and sickly, actually became a good son in his father's eyes, and inherited the throne to become the emperor. He was like this. Could he be the man of destiny?

When Prince Gong was thinking about the man destined to be his heir, the voice of Emperor Xianfeng was heard.

"Sixth Brother, come in and talk!"

"twitter."

Yi Xin agreed and walked in holding the mooncake box. When he walked in, he saw Concubine Lan sitting next to Xianfeng.

This woman is pretty good! Judging from her attire, she must be the emperor's concubine, right?

She has a nice figure and a pretty face. What a pity, a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.
Although he looked down on Emperor Xianfeng, Yi Xin still had to kowtow and say: "Your servant Yi Xin respectfully wishes the Emperor good health."

"Stand up and sit down." Xianfeng pointed at the mooncake box in Yixin's hand with a smile, "Sixth Brother, what are you holding?"

"Your Majesty, this is evidence that the Bull Demon King is indeed a demon. It is a box of mooncakes made thirty-seven years later!" Yi Xin said, "This box of mooncakes was brought to the capital together with Hong Ni Daquan and Guaerjia Yuanbao, who witnessed the demon descending from the sky and fought the demon for three rounds."

"Thirty-seven years later?" Xianfeng was stunned. "Xiao Anzi, show it to me."

"twitter."

The mooncake box was soon delivered to Xianfeng.

"Your Majesty, I have asked Master Tupolev, the new Rakshasa Lama from St. Nicholas Lama Temple, to take a look."

"What did he say?" Xianfeng asked while trying to open the lid of the mooncake box.

"He said that even the best craftsmen in the West could not have made this box!" Yi Xin said, "I don't think the craftsmen in the Imperial Household Department have this skill. In addition, there is a date written in Western numerals on the box, which is 1889. This year is 1852, and it will be 37 in 1889 years."

"Why can't you open it?" Xianfeng asked at this time. You can't open it? Then you are not the man of destiny?

If you're not, then it must be me.
Yi Xin was just feeling excited, so Xianfeng handed the box of mooncakes to Concubine Lan beside him and said, "Lan'er, you try it."

"Yes."

Concubine Lan agreed first, then took the mooncake box and fiddled with it for a while, then Prince Gong Yixin said in a female voice like a silver bell: "Hey, it's open. Your Majesty, there are four mooncakes wrapped in transparent film inside, would you like to try one?"

She... She is the chosen one of the Qing Dynasty?
Prince Gong Yixin looked at Concubine Lan in disbelief and asked, "How did you open it?"

Xianfeng was also a little curious and asked, "Lan'er, tell me, how did you open it?"

Concubine Lan smiled at Emperor Xianfeng, revealing a little bit of her white teeth: "To answer your question, Your Majesty, isn't there a layer of transparent film on this iron box? I pulled it with my fingernails, and the film broke, and it also lifted up a piece. I then pinched the lifted film with my fingernails and tore it, and a long strip was torn off, and then it opened with a push."

What? That simple? No, it won't be that simple.
Yi Xin thought to himself, "Hong Daquan is right. Among mortals, only the one who is destined by heaven can open it! And this box of mooncakes was sent all the way from Quanzhou. I don't know how many people have handled it, but no one has been able to open it. Tu Lama, the fourth brother, and I all failed. But this Concubine Lan opened it with just one poke. Could it be that she is really the one who is destined by heaven in the Qing Dynasty? Could it be that she will give birth to a dragon seed, become the empress dowager, and then rule the country from behind the curtain and control the Qing Dynasty?"

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to establish a good relationship with this Concubine Lan, so that we can join forces as uncle and sister-in-law to govern the Qing Dynasty together in the future!

While Yi Xin was predicting the future in his mind, Concubine Lan had already made another effort and tore open the vacuum packaging of another mooncake. Then she took out a lotus seed paste and egg yolk mooncake from Lianxianglou from a plastic box, sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it seems quite fresh!"

"Fresh? That's impossible?" Xianfeng asked, "Sixth Brother, when did our people pick up this mooncake?"

"Ah," Prince Gong finally realized what Xianfeng was asking and replied, "April, April. More than two months ago."

"More than two months? Is this still edible?" Xianfeng asked in amazement.

"It looks edible!" Lady Lan gently broke open the mooncake in her hand. "Oh, there's an egg yolk inside, it looks like a salted egg yolk, and there's oil! Your Majesty, can I have a bite?"

"This..." Xianfeng was also quite greedy when he saw the mooncake in Lan Guiren's hand. It's not that he had never eaten good things, but this mooncake was a good thing from heaven, a snack for the Bull Demon King, and it could last for two or three months. Maybe it contained spiritual power! Especially the salted egg yolk with oil, it looked like an elixir!

He's been feeling a bit overwhelmed during this period!
I felt exhausted when I was creating a baby for the Qing Dynasty with Concubine Lan at night. Maybe eating this mooncake from heaven can make up for it a little!
However, this spiritual thing from heaven cannot be taken carelessly by mortals, so you have to find someone to try it.
Thinking of this, Xianfeng smiled and said to Concubine Lan: "Lan'er, if you want to eat it, just eat half of it, and leave the other half for me. Oh, and give me all the salted egg yolk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Lan never thought that Emperor Xianfeng would use her to test poison. She thanked him happily and ate the half mooncake without the salted egg yolk in front of Emperor Xianfeng, bite by bite.

"How does it taste?" Xianfeng asked.

"It's delicious," said Concubine Lan. "The filling is fragrant, glutinous and sweet, and it has a bit of salty taste where it is touched by the salted egg yolk. It tastes better than what the imperial kitchen makes."

It really didn’t break! Xianfeng thought: If it didn’t break in more than two months, it must be something extraordinary!

The snacks in the imperial kitchen went bad after two or three days.

If Concubine Lan is fine after an hour, I will eat the remaining half, refine it for a while, and then favor Concubine Lan. I will definitely have a child!

Thinking of this, Xianfeng began to feel something!

This “Bull Demon King Mooncake” is really amazing. It works just by smelling it even before you eat it.
