A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"Why don't you send Lu Buwei and his family to Shu together? Let them never enter Xianyang City again! The roads in Shu are dangerous and the weather is hot, and it is difficult to go all the way. Lu Buwei is old, whether he is alive or dead, It also depends on his life. In this way, your Majesty has silenced everyone, and can be regarded as giving him a severe punishment!"

Ying Zheng was silent, not wanting to agree to Shimi's idea. Although Shu was far away and had a harsh climate, Lu Buwei had accumulated many connections in the court for many years. Even if he sent him to such a harsh place, wouldn't it be possible that he would not be there on the way? Is anyone taking care of him? !

"Now that the situation is over for Lu Buwei, your Majesty should unite the hearts of the people in the court. You see, how heartbroken the ministers would be if they saw that Lu Buwei had worked hard for the Qin Dynasty for many years, but could not get the kindness of the king."

On the second day, Ying Zheng went to the prison where Lu Buwei was imprisoned and visited him for the last time.

"Just wait outside and go in alone."

Ying Zheng said to Wang Jian who was accompanying him.

In the past few days, Ying Zheng has always been frowning, and there are so many things on his mind that he can hardly breathe.

"Your Majesty, it's hot and smelly in the prison. You have to come out quickly."

Wang Jian stood at the door and watched him walk into the low cell with heavy steps.

When he saw Lu Buwei again, he was no longer the prime minister, but an unkempt prisoner. Ying Zheng did not lynch him, nor did he treat him harshly. He served him three delicious meals a day, and this At that time, Lu Buwei also knew that the situation was over. He was afraid that his life was not guaranteed, and he took life and death lightly. He had to eat and drink all day long, just waiting for Ying Zheng to send him to hell!

"Father Zhong..."

In the past, Ying Zheng rarely called him Father Zhong. Today, the call of Father Zhong in the prison made Lu Buwei feel mixed emotions and laughed at himself.

"Your Majesty has really offended me. How dare I bear it?"

"You have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. This cannot be erased. Although you are a sinner, you are also a benefactor of the Qin Dynasty."

Lu Buwei raised his eyes and looked at the emperor in front of him who he personally assisted in ascending to the throne. He was so jade tree facing the wind and full of high spirits. He was indeed a born emperor, and he had indeed made no mistake. His noble image today had already appeared before his eyes when he saw him for the first time.

He shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"I dare not claim to be a hero of the Qin Dynasty. I clearly wanted to imitate the Duke of Zhou and return to power. I wanted to leave a good name for eternity. How...how did I end up becoming a criminal in the end!"

With tears in his eyes, he smiled and asked Ying Zheng

"I'm too greedy, right? The late king gave me the supreme power, but I lost my way in this power. I thought I was a person who knew the rules and the importance. It turns out that I can't resist the consequences of this power. temptation."

When Ying Zheng walked into the prison, a sultry stench hit his nostrils. He did not frown, and his expression did not even change. He sat down in front of Lu Buwei just like he did before when he was not the king. Filled with wine.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...what does this mean?"

Seeing how polite he was today, Lu Buwei was a little panicked and refused again and again, but Ying Zheng said in a gentle tone.

"You used to be Gu's father-in-law. You can bear it if Gu pours the wine for you."

Lu Buwei was terrified. He looked at the emperor in front of him, not knowing what he meant. His eyes were deep and difficult to capture the true emotions. His thoughts and feelings were rarely shown on his face. Lu Buwei knew that he had awakened an incredible person. , at this time, he was just like looking at a work of art completed by his own hands, no matter how he looked at it, he liked it no matter how he looked at it.

"I will not kill you."

Ying Zheng's tone was calm, and as these words floated out, Lu Buwei's eyes gradually widened. He suspected that he had heard wrong, and looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.

"If I don't kill you, it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't. If killing you causes turmoil in the court, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

Ying Zheng smiled and said again

"Gu Gu will take you and your family to Shu together. After you go, you will never set foot in Xianyang City again! This is Gu...'s greatest kindness to you!"

Lu Buwei's lips trembled slightly, and hot tears rolled down his face. He nodded and responded with some choking.

"Your Majesty, you are exactly what I expected! You will be famous throughout the ages! Sooner or later, this world will be yours!"

"I still have a question that I've been meaning to ask you."

Ying Zheng's eyes became a little sharp. He stared closely at Lu Buwei's wrinkled eyes and asked

"Is Gu...is your son?!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Buwei was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed several times before finally speaking tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, don't you believe your mother?"

"Of course I don't believe it!"

Ying Zheng said in a cold tone

"Gu has never trusted her! Even if she is Gu's biological mother!"

Lu Buwei explained tremblingly

"Although your biological mother was Lao Chen's concubine, after Lao Chen gave her to the late queen, she never touched her again. It was...it was after Li Jiang gave birth to you that Lao Chen got in touch with her again. , so how could you be the child of Lao Chen!"

Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei in front of him and didn't respond. He just said lightly.

"In three days, you can leave for Shu."

The night before Lu Buwei was going to Shu, Shimi came to the prison alone.

Lu Buwei never expected that she would come. She is no longer the quirky little girl she used to be. Now she is calm and cheerful, and she looks more and more like Ying Zheng!

"My dear, how come you come to such a place? You, a rich man, must never come to such a dirty place!"

Shimi did not respond to Lu Buwei's compliment, but said with a smile

"Congratulations, sir. After committing many capital crimes, you can still survive."

"It's thanks to the kindness of your Majesty that this old minister has the opportunity to recover from his mistakes and start a new life!"

Shimiya saw that although he had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, he was in good spirits. He was probably looking forward to the thought that he would be able to walk out of the prison alive tomorrow.

"I wonder what the queen has to do with me?"

Shikiya was silent for a moment and said

"Lu Xiangguo, do you know what is being said about you and your Majesty outside now? The people all say that your Majesty is your child, which makes your Majesty extremely embarrassed. Even if you kill the people who like to gossip, you can't resist. These rumors."

Lu Buwei shook his head and said

"At the beginning, I didn't know the consequences of the rumors, and I thought I could suppress them quickly. I didn't expect that this move was really wrong!"

"Now that your Majesty is threatened by the courtiers, I have no choice but to let you live. What do you think...what will this make the people think?"

Shimi smiled, but in Lu Buwei's view, this smile concealed a conspiracy, which was frightening!
