The Empress Dowager spoke. She sounded grim; ‘Laurel Goong-goong, you’re a clever lad, for one so young … So, you got rid of four of my eunuchs, and even had the nerve to suggest that I’d done something wrong …’ ‘Your Majesty,’ stammered the terrified Trinket, desperately seeking for some means to stall her, ‘kill me now, and you’ll regret it…” ‘What do you mean, regret it?’ sneered the Empress Dowager. ‘You think that by killing me you can keep your secret. But you see, the guards already know all about—’ ‘You mean that story of yours about my plotting to let in the assassins?’ said the Empress darkly. ‘And why on earth would I want to do a thing like that?’ ‘How should I know? But His Majesty might know.’ Trinket decided to gamble all on one last desperate throw. There’s a lot of strength in these hands of mine,’ muttered the Empress Dowager angrily. ‘I’m going to throttle the life out of you, you worthless scum!’ 37 ‘Go ahead. They are. strong hands, I’ll give you that. Throttle me, and then when you’ve done it, everyone in the Palace can start gossiping about why Your Majesty needed to do it; they’ll wonder why you had to shut my mouth, what your secret was, your very special, very dirty secret. . .’ The Empress Dowager’s hand was trembling with fury as she squeezed Trinket’s shoulder. She took a deep breath. ‘Why, even if those guards do know a thing or two, I’ll simply tell Colonel Rui to execute the lot of them. I’ve got nothing to fear.’ Trinket laughed. The Empress Dowager was surprised. ‘How can you laugh, with death staring you in the face?’ ‘It’s just that Colonel Rui isn’t likely to execute anyone, under the circs … Ha ha ha!’ ‘What do y womens puma shoes ou mean?’ ‘I’ve already , . .” He had been meaning to say ‘put a knife through his heart’, but. then had a bramwave. Tve already puma shoes buy had a word with him.’ He laughed again. ‘He’s done some thinking.

But it’s not me he’s afraid of, it’s someone else.’ The Empress shuddered. ‘You mean the Emperor?’ ‘Don’t we all fear His Majesty?’ ‘What did you say to Colonel Rui?’ ‘Everything.’ ‘Everything?’ repeated the Empress to herself mechanically. After a moment’s tods online shop reflection she asked: ‘And where is he now?’ ‘Oh, a long way away. A very long way away And he won’t be coming back either. It might be a very good idea for you to go and see him, Your Majesty, but then again, I’m afraid it might be rather difficult.’ She seemed thoroughly taken aback by this. ‘You mean he’s left the Palace?’ Trinket was in full swing. That’s right. He said that things were getting on top of him, and he had to leave the world and all its bears behind—’ 38 ‘Snares,’ the Empress corrected him. She humphed. ‘So where’s he gone then?’ ‘He said ., ,’Trinket had another brainwave. ‘Something about some mountains, Tutai, Butai, Mutai, I can’t exactly recall. , .’ The Wutai Mountains’7 snapped the Empress. ‘Yes, that’s it! The Wutai Mountains! Your Majesty, you seem to be very well informed!’ ‘What else did he say?’ ‘Nothing much really. He just gave me his word of honour, that whatever danger came his way, he’d do everything I’d asked him to do.’ ‘And what exactly did you ask him to do?’ ‘Oh, nothing much. Then he said he might be away for quite some time, and he’d be a bit short of cash. So I gave him notes for twenty thousand taels.’ ‘What did he agree to do?’ ‘I’d rather not say. Majesty.’ ‘You’d better.’ She tightened the pressure on his shoulder. Trinket gave a little ‘Ouch!’ and she loosened her grip, ‘Come on, out with it!’ Trinket sighed, ‘He promised me that if ever anything happened to me here in the Palace, he would tell the whole story—-everything I told him—to His Majesty. He’d have it all written down, and keep it in his pocket at all times, just in case. And we agreed that every two months, I’m to . . ,’ He paused, ‘Well?’ The Empress Dowager’s voice was trembling. ‘Every two months I’m to go to the Bridge of Heaven . . . and find the old man who sells toffee-apples. I’m to say to him: “Have you got any Turquoise Toffee-Apples today, sir?” And he’s supposed to reply: “Yes, a hundred taels a stick,” Then I’m to say: “That’s a bit expensive, isn’t it! Would you sell me one for two hundred.” Then tods shoe he says: “Certainly not! You still alive?” And I say: “Yes, tell me old man.” And then he reports back to Colonel Rui.’ The Empress Dowager humphed again. ‘Colonel Rui must have taught you all that. A little urchin like you wouldn’t know any of those underworld passwords.’ Trinket could still feel the Old Whore’s hand trembling on his shoulder. After a long silence, she asked him: 39 ”And supposing you don’t turn up at the Bridge of Heaven, what then?’ ‘Colonel Rui said he’d wait ten more days, and then he’d know I was . .. well, dead. So he’d find a way to report everyming to His Majesty. That way, even with me dead, at least his Majesty would be warned. Then he could think about vengeance.’ ‘Vengeance .. .’ muttered the Empress Dowager. ‘All this time,’ Trinket went on, ‘I’ve never breathed a word to His tods sale Majesty of the things I puma shoes uk know. So long as I was alive, I didn’t think I needed to trouble him.’ A sigh of relief escaped die Empress Dowager’s lips. ‘You’ve been a very good boy!’ ‘His Majesty has always been so good to me, and so have you, Your Majesty. All I ever wanted was for you to appreciate my loyalty, and reward me with a few taels now and the puma uk n. That way, I thought everybody would be happy!’ The Empress gave a sinister chuckle. ‘Still scrounging for tips, you shameless little urchin!’ But she seemed hugely relieved by what she had heard. Trinket saw that his little improvisation was working. ‘Oh come on, Your Majesty, I’m not puma racing shoes really greedy. I just want everyone to live happily ever after, me included! That’s why tomorrow I’ll be off to the Bridge of Heaven and give my message as arranged. Then Colonel Rui’ll keep his mouth shut. And while I’m about it, I think I should . . . giv puma shoes buy e the toffee-apple-seller another three thousand taels for the Colonel, and say it’s from you, Your Majesty. . .’ The Empress Dowager humphed. ‘That incompetent deserter! Give him my money! He’s lucky I don’t chop his head off!’ She released his shoulder, and said slowly: ‘Laurel, are you loyal to me?’ Trinket fell to his knees, and performed an impressive series of kowtows. Even as he was protesting his undying loyalty, she bent down and struck him three times on the back, each time muttering something to herself. Trinket felt an instant faintness, and an intense desire to vomit. He made loud retching noises, ‘Laurel,’ the Empress Dowager began, ‘do you remember that evening I was talking with the old eunuch Hai Dafu? Do you remember us mentioning something called Soft Crush karate? A single blow of Soft Crush, well executed, can destroy a man’s body. 40 puma shoes ferrari It is very hard to learn, and I’m certainly no expert But I feel like having a little try on you . . .’ Trinket could feel die blood pumping through his head. And then out it came, blood, water, vomited forth in great spurts. ‘So all that time die filthy Old Whore never really believed a word I was saying!’ he thought to himself, in between the gushings of vomit. ‘And now she’s going to do me in once and for all!’ ‘Don’t worry, I’m not going to kill you. After all, if you were dead, who would go to the Bridge of Heaven? I just wanted to hurt you a litde, make you a little less quick on your feet, . .’ ‘Most obliged, Majesty,’ muttered Trinket. He stood up slowly, then tottered back into a sitting position on the ground, and began vomiting all over again. The Empress Dowager laughed coldly, and disappeared into the shrubbery. Trinket dragged himself to his feet, and staggered towards his room. He reached the window, and slumped panting over the window-sill. Then he began clambering in. More Decomposing Powder ‘Is that you, Laurel?’ whispered the Little Countess. Trinket was not in the most cheerful of moods. ‘Mother’s! Of course it’s not me!’ ‘She was only being friendly!’ protested Fang Yi. Trinket’s body was by now half over the window-sill. ‘I…’ That was as muc puma trainers h as he could get out. The next he knew, he fell with a thud to the ground, and lay there incapable of movement, ‘Aiyo!’ the two girls cried. ‘What’s the matter? Are you hurt?’ The unmistakable note of concern in the two girls’ voices seemed to have a miraculous effect on Trinket’s spirits. He even managed a little laugh, which was followed quickly by another fit girls puma shoes of panting. ‘Who knows,’ he thought to himself, ‘perhaps die Old Whore never learned that Soft Crush stuff properly. Chin up, Trink!’ ‘My dear young ladies/ he finally said, ‘dear sister, dearest wife, you are the ones who were really hurt. I had to get a little bit hurt too. After all, we’re supposed to share everything, in sickness and in health, rill death us do part…’ ”Laurel,’ said the Litde Countess, ‘be serious. Where are you hurt? Is it bad?’ ‘It’s very kind of you to ask, dear sister. To tell the truth, I was in a lot of pain, but the sound of your voice has made it all go away! It’s a miracle!’ There you go again!’ cried the Litde Countess. Trinket got hold of a table and hauled himself upright. ‘If the Old Whor puma kids shoes e finds Colonel Rui’s corpse,’ he was thinking to himself, ‘I’m done for!’ He staggered to cheap puma shoes Old Hai’s medicine chest, and found die familiar bottle containing the yellow Decomposing Powder, which he had already used to such good effect on the ‘real’ Laurel.

He tipped a small amount of die powder onto the Colonel’s wound. In a matter of seconds the wound began to smoulder, then it gave off a disgusting stench, and a few seconds later a foul yellow liquid began to ooze from it. The wound spread as it gradually decomposed. The Little Countess let out an involuntary ‘ugh!’, and Fang Yi was so overcome with curiosity that she too opened her eyes. What she saw rendered her quite incapable
