101数日后，探听得皇上、太后已经回宫，白衣尼、陶红英、韦小宝趁着夜色潜入皇宫，来到太后居住的慧宁宫，见寝殿内无人，三人径自走了进去。
101 A few days later, it was discovered that the emperor and the queen mother had returned to the palace. Bai Yini, Tao Hongying and Wei Xiaobao sneaked into the palace at night and came to the Huining Palace where the queen mother lived. When they saw that there was no one in the bedroom, the three of them walked in.
102忽听得脚步声响，三人忙躲到床后。进来的是太后和建宁公主。太后差公主到康熙那里偷了一部《四十二章经》，公主道:“妈，经节偷到手了，你得把小桂子赏给我，让他陪我玩。
102 Suddenly, they heard the sound of footsteps and hid behind the bed. The Queen Mother and Princess Jianning came in. The empress dowager sent the princess to Kangxi to steal a copy of the Forty-Two Chapters Sutra. The princess said, “Mom, you have stolen the Sutra. You have to give me the little cassia and let him play with me.
103公主请安退出后，太后坐在桌边，一手支着头颈，望着烛火呆呆出神。一转头间，突然见到塘上两个人影她不由得全身寒毛直竖。
After the princess asked her to leave, the empress dowager sat at the table, holding her head and neck in one hand, and stared at the candle. When she turned her head, she suddenly saw two figures on the pond. Her hair stood up all over her body.
104只见一个白衣尼隔着桌子坐在对面，双目凝望，神色木然。太后颤声道:“你是谁?“
I saw a white-clothed man sitting across the table, staring at him with a blank look. The queen mother trembled and said, “Who are you“
105太后离椅而起，扑上去连击四掌。白衣尼坐在椅上，先将太后面前那《四十二章经》揣入怀中，再举掌将她政来的招式一化解了。
105 The empress dowager rose from the chair and jumped up and hit four hands in succession. Bai Yini sat on the chair, put the “42 Chapters Classic” in front of the empress dowager into her arms, and then lifted her hand to dissolve her political moves.
106白衣尼点中太后穴道，让她直挺挺跪在身前，低声怒道:“你身为皇太后，怎会蛇岛武功?”
106 Bai Yi hit the Empress Dowager’s acupoint, made her kneel straight in front of her, and said angrily in a low voice, “As Empress Dowager, how can you know the Snake Island Martial Arts?”
107太后道:“我…我不是太后，我是大明大将军毛文龙的女儿毛东珠，真太后还好端端的活着。”她从脸上撕下两块人皮一般的东西来，顿时相貌大变，本来胖胖的圆脸，忽然变成了瘦削的瓜子脸。
107 The empress dowager said: “I… I’m not the empress dowager. I’m Mao Dongzhu, the daughter of Mao Wenlong, the great general of the Ming Dynasty. The empress dowager is still alive.” She tore two pieces of human skin from her face and suddenly changed her appearance. The originally fat round face suddenly turned into a thin melon face.
108白衣尼解了太后穴道，太后走到一张大挂毡之前，拉动机关，挂毡卷了上去露出两扇柜门。打开柜门，只见柜内横卧着一个女人身盖锦被。
108 White Yi Ni untied the empress dowager’s acupoints. The empress dowager walked to a large hanging felt, pulled the mechanism, and the hanging felt rolled up to reveal two cabinet doors. When I opened the cabinet door, I saw a woman lying across the cabinet with a quilt.
109太后关上柜门，放下挂毡。白衣尼道:“你把她关在这里，想逼问她什么?”太后道:“她知道鞑子龙脉的秘密，但她始终宁死不说。”
109 The Empress Dowager closed the cabinet door and put down the hanging felt. Bai Yini said: “What do you want to ask her when you lock her here?” The queen mother said: “She knows the secret of Tartar’s dragon vein, but she would rather die than tell.”
110刚才太后用“化骨绵掌”攻击白衣尼时，白衣尼已将她掌力逼回。白衣尼传了一套能将毒掌散去的功法给太后，并告诚道:“自今以后，你一运内力便会骨骼寸断，决不可再出手伤人。”太后跪倒叩谢。
When the Empress Dowager just attacked White Yi Ni with “bone melting soft palm”, White Yi Ni had forced her palm back. White Yi Ni passed on a set of skills to the empress dowager, which can disperse the poison palm, and told the truth: “From now on, you will break your bones when you use your internal power, and you can never hurt anyone again.” The empress dowager knelt down and kowtowed.
