In 1888, the moonlight of the Qing Dynasty was surrounded by heavy palace walls, which looked unusually dull. Late at night, the Empress Dowager Cixi's dormitory was like a black curtain pierced by the moonlight, revealing a strange light, and the two water tanks that were urgently summoned were particularly abrupt in the night.

looked up at the eunuch Li Lianying, Li Lianying gave a fierce look, and the palace maid was even more frightened, so she quickly lowered her head and muttered in her heart: I saw it unintentionally, I won't tell anyone, don't drive me away.

In the water tank, a man closed his eyes tightly, his face was resolute and handsome, it was the night in the Summer Palace that collided with Cixi Luan's first-class guard Narsu, the palace maid's heart was indescribably stunned, she couldn't imagine, this man who should have been severely punished, why did he appear in the queen mother's bedroom, could it be that he was punished in the harem, the palace maid was puzzled, and unconsciously arrived at the queen mother's bedroom, and then like a lost soul, she didn't dare to look at it again, so she quickly retreated.

Recalling that day, Cixi's play in the Summer Palace was interrupted by the sudden sound of horses' hooves, and with the sound of firecrackers, Narsu's horse crashed into Cixi's Luan drive out of control, and Narsu hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "It's Narsu below, it's me who didn't take care of my horse, so that the Queen Mother was frightened, and I'm willing to accept arbitrary punishment." ”

Everyone present was stunned by this sudden change, waiting for Cixi's thunderous rage, such a situation, it is common for people to fall to the ground, and scolding or suffering a little flesh is considered a face appreciation for the queen mother. But just as Cixi was angrily questioning, when she saw Narsu's face clearly, her anger turned into a strange tenderness in an instant, and the words that had reached her mouth flew out of the clouds in an instant.

Narsu, who was only more than twenty years old, saw that the man was extremely handsome, with a face like a carved facial features, and an angular face that was unusually handsome. His ** is very white, very delicate, a pair of bright and clear, with pale blue eyes, shooting a soft and warm light, a tall body, strong legs, tangled arms, bulging strong chest muscles, every word he says has a deep voice.

His handsomeness and majesty coexisted, so that Cixi could not help but be attracted by his demeanor in addition to anger, she swallowed her saliva and waved her hand to signal Narsu to retreat, but it set off endless waves in her heart, and her mind fantasized about what was about to happen to her and the young man.

Cixi, who returned to the dormitory, seemed to have become heavy, and every step seemed to be dragging a heavy burden. Her heart was driven by a strong desire, like a dry wood that had been lit, and the flames jumped inside her, licking her sanity.

Her lust was like a beast, roaring deep inside her, keeping her at ease. Every time she closed her eyes, the face of the young squire Narsu would appear before her eyes, his handsomeness, his strength, his majesty, it was like a kind of magic that fascinated her deeply.

Empress Dowager Cixi's fingers clenched involuntarily, as if she could feel Narsu's skin tremble under her fingertips. Her heart was filled with desire, like a raging flame that she couldn't resist.

This desire makes her life complicated and painful. She is no longer the ruler who holds the Qing Empire, but a slave driven by desire. She began to suffer from insomnia, spending every night in deep loneliness, listening to the sounds of the night outside the window and imagining Narsu by her side.

She tossed and turned, unable to erase the figure of Narsu from her mind. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to get the man, even if it was against the rules of the court.

Li Lianying, the celebrity around Cixi, has long understood the queen mother's thoughts. He smiled slightly and offered advice in a low voice: "If the Queen Mother wants to summon Narsu, the slave has his own clever plan." After hearing this, a trace of cunning flashed in Cixi's eyes, and she knew that Li Lianying's strategy had always been cunning and effective.

Tonight, on the third watch, I ordered someone to send two water tanks to the dormitory. Cixi commanded. Li Lianying nodded to receive the order, but secretly sweated for Narsu in her heart. In the middle of the night, the water tanks arrived as scheduled, and one of them was hiding Narsu. In the face of Cixi's strength and Narsu's helplessness, the palace people could only choose to remain silent.

Since then, Cixi's ambiguous relationship with Narsu has lasted for fifteen years. During these long years, Cixi not only had an affair with Narsu, but it was even rumored that she had an affair with the Englishman Edmund Beckhouse. The internal and external troubles of the Qing Dynasty were insignificant in the face of Cixi's selfish desires, and she used the power in her hands to satisfy her own desires and ignore the affairs of the state.

This history not only reveals the personal character of Cixi, but also reflects the corruption and decline of Qing politics at that time. The fate of a country is in the hands of a woman who only knows her selfish desires and ignores the overall situation, which is undoubtedly one of the important reasons for the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
