51康熙站起身，摘下墙上两口宝剑，将一口交了给韦小宝，道:“事不宜迟，咱们即刻去慈宁宫。”两人议定，再叫些侍卫同去，事成之后，将侍卫处死灭口。
Kangxi stood up, took off two swords from the wall, handed one to Wei Xiaobao, and said, “It’s not too late. Let’s go to the Palace of Mercy and Tranquility at once.” They agreed to call some bodyguards to go with them. After the matter is completed, the bodyguards will be put to death.
52康熙出得书房，传八名侍卫护驾。来到慈宁宫外，命侍卫在花园远远守候。康熙与韦小宝进入慈宁宫，宫女太监纷纷跪下迎接。康熙道:“你们都到花园去，谁也不许过来。”众人遵旨退开。
Kangxi went out of his study and was escorted by eight guards. When he arrived outside the Cining Palace, he ordered the guards to wait in the garden. Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao entered the Cining Palace, and the eunuchs knelt down to greet them. Kangxi said, “All of you go to the garden. No one is allowed to come.” The crowd backed away as ordered.
53韦小宝知道，当日假太后向九难拍了七掌“化骨绵掌”，阴毒掌力，尽数逼还自身。九难虽教了化解之法，但一使内力，全身骨骼立即寸断，心想:“我抢先向老婊子扑将过去，皇上以为我奋不顾身，其实是打死狗。“

54走进寝殿，却见殿中无人，床上锦帐低垂。太后在帐内问:“皇帝身子可安好吗?”二人见已商量好的法子不管用了，康熙便向韦小宝使个眼色，吩咐:“挂起了帐子。”韦小宝答道:“喳!”
54 When he entered the sleeping hall, he saw that there was no one in the hall, and the brocade tent on the bed was hanging low. The empress dowager asked in the tent, “Is the emperor safe?” When they saw that the method they had discussed was useless, Kangxi winked at Wei Xiaobao and said, “Hang up the tent.” Wei Xiaobao replied, “Cha!”
55锦帐两下一分，太后急速转身，面向里床。在这一瞥之间，康熙已见太后脸颊瘦削，面貌大不同前。康熙心想:“小桂子的话果然不假。这老贱人今日没乔装改扮，故而不肯让我瞧她容貌。”
The empress dowager turned quickly and faced the inner bed. At this glance, Kangxi had seen that the queen mother’s face was thin and her face was very different. Kangxi thought to himself, “Little Guizi’s words are true. The old bitch didn’t dress up today, so she wouldn’t let me see her face.”
56康熙怒火中烧，大声道:“快卷起挂毯来捉老鼠!”韦小宝上前拉动羊毛索子，卷起挂毯，露出柜门。康熙知已不能偷袭，退到门口向韦小宝招手道:“传侍卫进来。柜子里有古怪声音，别惊吓了太后。”
Kangxi was furious and shouted, “Roll up the tapestry to catch mice!” Wei Xiaobao pulled the wool cord, rolled up the tapestry and exposed the cabinet door. Knowing that he could not sneak in, Kangxi retreated to the door and waved to Wei Xiaobao, “Send the bodyguard in. There is a strange sound in the cabinet. Don’t frighten the empress dowager.”
57八名侍卫走到寝殿门后，躬身听旨。韦小宝见太后不拿出柜门钥匙，望着康熙讨办法。康熙心里有底，便令把柜门撬开。韦小宝立刻从靴筒中拔出匕首，插入柜门，轻轻一割，锁扣已断，一拉之下，柜门应手而开。
The eight bodyguards walked behind the door of the dormitory and bowed to listen to the order. When Wei Xiaobao saw the empress dowager, he did not take out the key to the cabinet door and looked at Kangxi to find a way. Kangxi felt confident and ordered to pry the door open. Wei Xiaobao immediately pulled the dagger out of the boot and inserted it into the cabinet door. With a slight cut, the lock was broken. With a pull, the cabinet door opened.
58韦小宝翻开柜中锦被，见到被底有一部书，便是《四十二章经》，急忙放下锦被盖住。但真太后却不知在何处?
58 When Wei Xiaobao opened the brocade quilt in the cabinet, he saw a book at the bottom of the quilt, which was the Forty-Two Chapters Classic. He quickly put down the brocade quilt and covered it. But the real empress dowager doesn’t know where?
59康熙一脸惊疑之色，望着床上高高隆起的被窝。韦小宝灵机一动，喜道:“被窝里还有人!”抢到床边，从被底伸手进去，却是一条毛茸茸大腿，不由得大吃一惊。
Kangxi looked surprised and looked at the raised quilt on the bed. Trinket had a brainwave and said, “There are still people in the quilt!” He grabbed the bed and reached into it from the bottom of the quilt, but it was a hairy thigh. He was surprised.
60便在这时，一只大腿突然撑出，踹中韦小宝胸膛，被窝一掀，一个赤条条的肉团跃出来，连被抱着太后，向门口冲出，把三各侍卫撞得飞摔出去，几个起伏，已到御花园墙边，跃上墙头，翻身出外，不见踪影。
At that moment, a thigh suddenly sprang out and kicked Wei Xiaobao in the chest. The quilt was lifted, and a naked meat ball sprang out. The empress dowager, even holding her, rushed out to the door, knocking the three bodyguards flying out. Several ups and downs had reached the wall of the imperial garden, jumped on the wall, turned out, and disappeared.
