This first emperor is awesome

"Zhao Zhong."

Ying Zheng was already furious at this time, his favorite concubine actually wanted to kill him?

"Your Majesty, your subjects are here."

Zhao Zhong, who was waiting outside the hall, hurriedly pushed open the door of the main hall, then trotted all the way over, and bowed his hands together.

"Detain this bitch in Wangyi Palace and interrogate him strictly. We must find out who is behind the scenes."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and his voice revealed unspeakable anger and disgust.

"According to the order."

Zhao Zhong immediately assigned several servants to detain Hu Ji who had already stood up, and left Pingtian Hall.

The door of the main hall was closed, and Ying Zheng looked at the dark main hall, feeling tingling pain in his heart from time to time.

The king seems to have infinite scenery, but he is extremely lonely in his heart.

There are too many people in this world who want to die by themselves.

Even the person next to him or his close relatives may turn into a killer and take his own life.

Orchid knows nothing about medicine, but this method is ingenious.

If I didn't have the memory of the future, I might not be able to see through it.

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, Ying Zheng gradually regained his senses, his anger gradually extinguished, and he began to sort out his thoughts and try to figure out Hu Ji's motives.

Sitting on the stone steps of the high platform of the throne, Ying Zheng didn't say a word, watching the flickering candles, his thoughts gradually drifted away.

about two hours later

"His Majesty."

The door of the main hall was pushed open again, Zhao Zhong walked in, bowed his hands to His Majesty who was sitting on the stone steps.

"Speak!"

Ying Zheng was pulled back from his thoughts, and said in a deep voice.

"A total of 11 servants and servants in Wangyi Palace were severely tortured, and nine of them were killed. Only one servant gave a useful message, and the other was a chess piece arranged by His Majesty in Wangyi Palace."

"According to this servant, Empress Hu Ji sent him to the imperial hospital not long ago, and asked imperial doctor Wu to prescribe a prescription to alleviate the old illness."

Zhao Zhong began to speak eloquently.

"There is a problem with the prescription."

Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Zhong, and said firmly.

"Your Majesty is wise, but the prescription has been burned by Empress Hu Ji."

Zhao Zhong's heart was heavy, for fear of causing His Majesty's displeasure.

"Is that doctor Wu arrested?"

Ying Zheng frowned and asked.

"When the imperial guards rushed to this person's house, this person had already hanged himself and died for many days."

Zhao Zhong was very disturbed, the clue was broken, but he didn't dare to hide anything.

"waste"

Ying Zheng stood up and walked back and forth, looking upset.

Under my nose, there is someone so insane?

This plan has to be said to be seamless, leaving no flaws.

The only breakthrough right now is Hu Ji.

"Your Majesty calm down, the minister is incompetent and deserves death."

Zhao Zhong bowed his waist deeply, and bowed his hands, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

"Does Hu Ji have to confess?"

Ying Zheng suppressed the anger in his heart and asked again.

"Your Majesty, Empress Hu Ji has a noble status, and the ministers dare not execute the execution without permission, so they still get nothing."

Zhao Zhong was dripping with sweat, and his forehead was covered with bead-sized beads of sweat.

"Hmph, I'm here to ask this bitch myself."

With a wave of his sleeve, Ying Zheng left Pingtian Palace and moved to Wangyi Palace.

At night in Xianyang Palace, the lights are brightly lit, tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night.

A large number of soldiers surrounded Wangyi Palace heavily, guarded heavily, and murderous.

Looking at the main hall of Wangyi Palace, Hu Ji looked at the empty palace with extremely complicated emotions.

Those slaves who have served him for more than ten years have all been implicated.

Holding her huqin, she looked at the personal maid who was waiting beside her and said, "Feng Ye, when did you betray me?"

"Your Majesty, Maple Leaf has never betrayed Your Majesty. From the beginning to the end, Maple Leaf has always served His Majesty and the country."

The maid, Feng Ye, saw her master end up in such a miserable state today, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

"That's right, His Majesty has never trusted himself since entering the palace."

"I'm afraid no one in this world can gain his trust, right?"

Hu Ji laughed at herself, and then began to play the piano.

In the night sky of Wangyi Palace, beautiful and euphemistic melodies constantly echoed.

Kang dang

The gate of Wangyi Palace was kicked open, and Ying Zheng walked in angrily.

"Meet Your Majesty."

The maid, Maple Leaf, quickly saluted and paid homage.

The strings in Hu Ji's hand snapped with a click.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became heavy.

Both Ying Zheng and Hu Ji saw stubbornness and determination in each other's eyes, and they both had their own beliefs.

After a long time, the two smiled at the same time, as if they met for the first time 14 years ago, the smile was sweet and brilliant

"Your Majesty, the strings of this zither are broken. From now on, I will no longer be able to sing and dance for Your Majesty."

Orchid smiled and said, as sweet and warm as meeting a lover for the first time.

It was as if Ying Zheng's heart had been pierced by a sharp knife, and he felt heart-piercing pain.

Of course he understood Hu Ji's implication. The years of love between the two of them was like a broken string, which could never be restored.

"why?"

Ying Zheng turned around, not wanting to see Hu Ji again, and closed his eyes slightly.

"Does Your Majesty remember the promise he made to his concubine back then?"

"The Hu country is destroyed, and the concubine does not hate your majesty. But the concubine's family, what crimes are there for the clansmen?"

"In the past few years, when I dreamed back at midnight, my parents and clan members were insulting my concubines."

"They scolded the courtiers and concubines for being incompetent, for being unfaithful, and even angrier for being unfilial."

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

As Hu Ji spoke, she laughed loudly, making a series of laughter like silver bells.

Laughter, mixed with endless resentment, remorse, self-blame and sarcasm

Yingzheng's Adam's apple rolled, but he couldn't say a word. He walked out of the main hall of Wangyi Palace and waved his hand.

Zhao Zhong immediately cast a look at the four servants, and the four servants immediately walked into the hall.

Two servants held Hu Ji with both arms, while the other two servants stretched out the white silk in their hands and put it on Hu Ji's fair neck.

Hu Ji seemed to have expected this moment long ago, she didn't struggle or resist, but slowly closed her eyes, a line of hot tears slowly slid down her delicate face.

Following the two servants, they gradually tightened Bai Ling's force.

Hu Ji's expression gradually became painful, and the scene of entering the Qin Palace at the beginning of the year appeared in her mind, and the faces of her parents and clansmen also flashed in her mind one by one.

In the end, the immature face that she cared about the most was still lingering in her mind.

"Father, emperor and minister want to see mother and concubine."

At this moment, Hu Hai, who was only 12 years old, did not know how to rush in. While running, he burst into tears and ran towards Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng let go of his clenched fist and strode towards Hu Hai. He directly grabbed Hu Hai's little hand without saying a word.

Even though the young Hu Hai struggled violently, he couldn't get rid of Ying Zheng's powerful hands.

Just like that, Ying Zheng pulled Hu Hai forcibly, and left Wangyi Palace without looking back.

Chapter 50 If you don’t kill, why can’t the army’s morale be destroyed and the country’s prestige cannot be established?

Ying Zheng let Hu Hai cry until his voice became hoarse, tired from crying, and fell asleep.

With gentle eyes, he touched Hu Hai's little head.

"Your Majesty"

Zhao Zhong walked in, and before he finished speaking, he saw His Majesty stretching out his big hand, and immediately silenced himself.

Ying Zheng personally covered Hu Hai with a gorgeous quilt before turning around and leaving.

"Speak!"

After coming outside, Ying Zheng lowered his voice.

"Why didn't your majesty tell the empress the truth?"

Zhao Zhong was puzzled. The purpose of bestowing death on King Hu and annihilating the family was to go to Hu State himself to convey it.

"I don't want her to live in remorse and contradiction for the rest of her life."

"King Hu betrayed his faith and wanted to make a false surrender to annihilate Qin's elite soldiers, but he was captured after failing."

"If you don't kill, how can you stabilize the morale of the army, if you don't kill, you can't build the country's prestige."

"Even if I intend to be selfish, the laws of the country cannot tolerate it."

"She lives in the deep palace, but I don't know who leaked the news."

Speaking of the latter, Ying Zheng made no secret of the murderous intent in his heart.

Zhao Zhong sighed in his heart, and then continued: "Your Majesty, the empress has passed away, how to announce the news of her death?"

"Hu Meiren was virtuous and virtuous, with both talents and talents. He accompanied the driver for fourteen years and won the emperor's heart. Occasionally contracted a strange disease, and the group of doctors tied their hands. He died of a long illness and died forever. He was named Mrs. Zhaoyi to show his virtue. The first emperor 28 Year, September 27th. Announce it to the world, and the salty envoys will hear about it."

Due to various considerations, Ying Zheng didn't want the truth to spread out.

After all, this is not something glorious, it can be said that the family scandal should not be exposed.

"Sir, I would like to follow His Majesty's sacred instructions."

Zhao Zhong immediately received the order, and was about to turn around and leave when he heard His Majesty's cold voice saying: "I don't want to hear any gossip about Hu Ji."

After Zhao Zhong bid farewell to Ying Zheng, he came to a dark hall again.

One of the servants was covered in bruises, his skin was torn and his flesh was rotten. He had obviously been severely punished.

"Eunuch Ling, the younger one has confessed truthfully, please spare the younger one's life?"

Seeing Zhao Zhong coming back, the servant cried bitterly and begged for mercy.

"Father."

The young and promising eunuch Cheng Wei Luo hurriedly bowed his hands and said courteously to Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong ignored the poor servant's begging for mercy, and waved his hand directly.

The servants in charge of guarding immediately understood, raised the sticks in their hands, and violently bombarded the servant who was kneeling on the ground.
