A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"Young Master, why did you call me here?"

Zhao Ze should have gone to wait on the emperor who had just woken up at this time to see if there was anything that could be done, but at this moment he was summoned by Zhiyu. This was new, Zhao Ze had never been summoned by him before.

Looking at the serious look on the young man's face, it seemed that he didn't have anything good to share by calling him here.

Zhao Ze was beating a drum in his heart, Zhiyu looked at the old eunuch and asked softly

"Zhao Song, who once worked in my palace and was later promoted by his father to the rank of CRRC Magistrate, where is he now?"

At the mention of this name, Zhao Ze's heart trembled, and he was obviously panicked, and his somewhat cunning eyes also flickered.

"Who is the young master asking about? I don't remember."

His body was hunched, his head lowered, his eyes rolling, and he clearly had a guilty conscience.

"Are you trying to be careless with me?"

Although Zhiyu is young, his ability to intimidate people has gradually grown, and he has no stage fright in the face of a veteran who has been working in the palace for decades.

He sneered, turned around and sat in front of the desk, showing the majesty of a prince. He looked at Zhao Ze, who had a low eyebrow and was submissive. He saw that the old slave had turned into a wrinkled skin and was still there. Treat yourself like a child!

"You really don't remember?"

Zhiyu asked again.

"Yes, I really don't remember."

Zhao Ze had little contact with Zhiyu and could not figure out his temper at all. This young man was raised in a deep palace and raised by the gentle and kind empress. He must have been well-educated, but Zhao Ze forgot one thing. This child He is not the Queen's biological child at all, and there is no way he can resemble the Queen in his bones.

"I've been asking around recently, and I got some pretty interesting news."

Zhiyu took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly

"It is said that Zhao Song was once a fellow countryman of your father-in-law. It was you who brought him into the palace. Is this relevant?"

Zhao Ze was stunned. He didn't expect that he was called here today to mention such an old matter. How could he be prepared at all? He saw that Yu was well prepared today and would not let him go easily without asking something. After thinking about it, I could only nod and respond.

"Yes, it's true."

"So, do you know the reason for his sudden disappearance?"

"Oh, my little ancestor! I kowtow to you! This, this old thing...I really can't remember it!"

Zhao Ze knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, hoping that his master would spare him, but Zhi Yu's temperament had always been to refuse to give up until he achieved his goal, so how could he let him go back so easily!

"Really, you can't remember clearly..."

Zhiyu smiled and said calmly, pretending to be calm.

"I remember that a slave came to the greenhouse last year. She was probably only eighteen years old. She was very good-looking. You seemed to like her very much and wanted to have sex with her. But the girl refused, so you made things difficult for her in every possible way, and finally forced the girl to death. Yes No...is there such a thing?"

Zhao Ze had done something wrong and was frightened. He thought no one knew about it, but unexpectedly it fell into Zhiyu's mouth. The mention made him tremble with fear!

"You may not know, but I happened to bump into that girl while she was crying and tending flowers in the garden. After asking, I found out that you still have such evil intentions! You said that you have been a eunuch all your life and you still want to cause trouble. A young girl? Isn’t that just a sin! Doesn’t her death have anything to do with you?”

Seeing that he was guilty, Zhiyu was trembling all over but had no intention of letting him go, so he spoke again leisurely.

"That girl died in an unknown way. If I tell my mother about this, I don't know how she will punish you, an old eunuch who treats your slaves harshly! I will probably kick you out of the palace and wait for death!"

"My master! My master! You, please spare this slave!!"

Zhao Ze has served the emperor all his life, and he has some status among these servants, but now he is controlled by a young boy. This is really strange!

"Then do you remember now, where Zhao Song... went?"

Zhao Ze knelt on the ground and knelt, kowtowing loudly, and responded while kowtowing.

"Remember! Remember..."

Zhao Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly.

"I don't know what's going on here. It's just that Zhao Song wasn't called this. He was called Zhao Gao."

"Zhao Gao?"

"Yes!"

Zhao Ze rolled his eyes and said immediately

"Young Master, please be gentler. This name... the Queen is afraid of, so I specially asked him to change his name. Who knows, but there is still no way to save him."

"You mean...his mysterious disappearance is related to his mother?"

Zhao Ze nodded, then shook his head

"I'm not sure about this, but it's true that the Queen is jealous of this name. She executed another man named Zhao Gao for no reason at the time, and many people know about it. Maybe Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, was The Queen discovered his true name and was silenced."

In Zhiyu's heart, the queen mother, who had always been gentle and kind, treated her servants with great care. How could she take the life of a slave for no reason? ! Just because his name is Zhao Gao? ! Naturally, he couldn't believe it, but when he thought about what Zhao Song had told him that the queen mother was not his biological mother, and that his biological mother was killed by her, this sentence left an indelible shadow in the young Zhiyu's heart. The queen has never been asked whether this statement is true or false.

"Are Zhao Gao's other relatives still alive? I want to find him back."

"This……"

Zhao Ze was stunned

"When Zhao Gao served the young master, he was not yet five years old. Now so many years have passed, why are the young master still looking for him?"

"I asked you if he has any relatives, why are you asking so many questions?"

Zhiyu was a little angry, and Zhao Ze quickly responded:

"He used to live with his mother, and he had a little daughter-in-law who couldn't live in the house. But the little daughter-in-law hanged herself ten years ago, and the old mother also died tragically. Is this Zhao Gao still alive? The old slave is I really don’t know! I’m just from the same hometown as him, so I really don’t know anything about his family affairs.”

Zhiyu was thoughtful and nodded, knowing that he could no longer get any more information from this old eunuch, so he had to send him away. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ze just pushed down the door and Zhiyu stopped him again.

"Don't mention the fact that I'm looking for you today to anyone!"

"Yes Yes……"

Zhao Ze took a long breath and was about to open the door, when he asked again.

"You have been serving my father before he ascended the throne. No one knows the big and small matters in the palace better than you. Do you know...why my biological mother died tragically? Is there anything...about the Queen? relation?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ze was so frightened that he almost fainted. He quickly closed the door again and looked at this young man who he thought was innocent.

"Young Master, where did you hear these nonsense?"

"Today you tell me all the truth. If you don't tell me, I have a hundred ways to make you disappear inexplicably in the Qin Palace!"
