Great Qin State Teacher

Before Ying Zheng could answer, Xu Fu had already vetoed himself.

According to ancient records, the Son of Heaven belonged to a group of people with a halo of light. No matter what kind of monsters, monsters, sprites, or sprites, it is impossible to get close to the body of the Son of Heaven. A person like Qin Shihuang who is full of domineering and evil spirits should be even less likely to bump into ghosts, right?

But apart from this statement, Xu Fu also couldn't figure out what he himself did behind that enigmatic night.

Frowning, Xu Fu took the initiative to change the subject, "Is the king's trip going well?"

Ying Zheng stared at him meaningfully, took the bowl of soup from the palace man, and handed it to Xu Fu himself.

Xu Fu's heart trembled unconsciously when he stared at him. He avoided Ying Zheng's gaze and buried half of his face in the soup bowl.

"It went very well."

Xu Fu didn't hide his doubts, and immediately asked, "Why didn't the king choose me this time?"

Ying Zheng's tone was cold, "Why should you choose the day of the Empress Dowager's burial?"

From his tone, Xu Fu knew that Qin Shihuang still had a grudge against Zhao Ji in his heart.Xu Fu also understood his meaning smoothly.Qin Shihuang didn't intend to pick a good day for Zhao Ji, so he didn't have to look for him. Even the people who followed in Fengchang Temple were just randomly selected.The sense of loss that Xu Fu had felt before disappeared completely in an instant.

Xu Fu nodded, turned to the servant and said, "Please give me some medicine."

The waiter was holding the box in his hand, and was about to nod, but in the blink of an eye, the box disappeared.

Waiter: "?"

Turning his head again, he saw the box in Ying Zheng's hands. The servant shut his mouth and took a step back consciously.

"Come here, widow." Ying Zheng raised his hand and pressed Xu Fu against the bedpost.

The feeling of being forced to tilt his head was a bit strange, the most vulnerable and deadly part of himself was exposed, and when the cold wind touched him, Xu Fu even got goosebumps all over his body.But Qin Shihuang's kindness is not easy to refuse, Xu Fu couldn't figure out why you, the majestic emperor of the ages, had the leisure to apply medicine to others, but considering that Qin Shihuang was indeed a good boss to his subordinates, Xu Fu endured it.

Ying Zheng lifted the lid of the box, and dabbed some ointment on Xu Fu's neck from the inside. After applying it with ice and cooling, the burning pain was indeed relieved a lot.

Ying Zheng's hands became much softer.

It was too dark last night, so I can't blame the widow's heavy hands...

Ying Zheng's fingers were a little rough, and when the ointment was applied on it, it rubbed against the skin, Xu Fu couldn't control his body, and trembled unconsciously...

The maid at the side blushed.

She didn't know why, but watching such a scene, she always felt a sense of shame.

Not to mention the court lady, Xu Fu himself felt weird, as soon as Qin Shihuang's hand touched it, he wanted to shake, and when he withdrew his hand, he unconsciously relaxed, opening and closing, always feeling like he was imitating It's the same thing.

And it was Ying Zheng who most intuitively appreciated Xu Fu's every moment of reaction.

He stood beside Xu Fu almost condescendingly. His subordinates controlled Xu Fu's life and everything about him. He could clearly see Xu Fu's fair skin glowing with a layer of red and trembling slightly. Xu Fuqing.The appearance of moving fit together.

Ying Zheng withdrew his palm unconsciously, Xu Fu let out a "hiss" in pain, and almost fell down on the bed, Ying Zheng quickly grabbed Xu Fu's waist, then threw the box to the servant beside him, saying : "It's ready."

Xu Fu broke away from Ying Zheng's arms, turned around, saw Ying Zheng's dark eyes, and always felt that his mood was a little weird.

Xu Fu stood up, straightened his robes, and showed a graceful posture.

"Your Majesty won't go to court today?" Xu Fu felt a little irritable in his heart, he couldn't figure out where this emotion came from, so he could only find something to say, first ask Qin Shihuang to go away.

"I will go to court tomorrow." As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, someone came in from the door, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Huayang invites you to come forward."

Empress Dowager Huayang?

Just as Xu Fu was thinking about who this was, what Su Yi said to him that day suddenly appeared in his mind.

Empress Dowager Huayang came out of the same country as Lord Changping.

Is this the more powerful person behind Xiong Yi?I don't usually mention it in the palace.

The gentle expression on Ying Zheng's face immediately disappeared, replaced by majesty and indifference, and he led a few palace servants out of the bedroom.Xu Fu turned his neck and felt much more comfortable, so he didn't delay any longer, and called the little servant to drive him out of the palace.

The Empress Dowager Huayang is very old, she never likes to meddle in court affairs, and even seldom intervenes in the affairs of the harem, almost handing it over to Zhao Ji.When the Empress Dowager Huayang was young, she was once the most beautiful and well-known Mrs. Huayang in the Qin State. She had never given birth to a child in her life, and Ying Yiren was also her adopted son, so she had the opportunity to become the later crown prince.Later, when Yingzheng ascended to the throne of the King of Qin, she lived in seclusion in the palace, hardly ever going out. Gradually, some people may have forgotten the Queen Mother Huayang, but her strength never diminished, and with Lord Changping was reused in the Qin State, and the Chu State faction represented by her became stronger in a low-key way.

The Empress Dowager Huayang once had kindness to Ying Yiren, that is, King Zhuangxiang of Qin. Ying Zheng was able to return to Qin, and he had to thank this Empress Dowager Huayang. We must give the Empress Dowager Huayang enough respect to fulfill the feelings of the past.

The Empress Dowager Huayang has never been involved in anything, and she has never extended her hand even when Lao Ai caused troubles in the harem. At this time, she sent someone to invite her, and it was impossible for Ying Zheng not to show her face.

As soon as he stepped into the palace of the Empress Dowager Huayang, Ying Zheng heard the laughter of a young man.

Ying Zheng quickly had a guess in his heart.

He led people in, and the young man who was kneeling at the lower head of the Empress Dowager Huayang immediately stood up and saluted Ying Zheng.

The young man's face is like a powder, and his figure is handsome. He is the son of Mr. Changping whom Ying Zheng met many years ago.

Ying Zheng didn't think too much about it, he just assumed that Lai Ai was dead and Lu Buwei was gone, so Lord Changping couldn't wait to get his hands on the Empress Dowager Huayang.How could the Chu faction miss such a good opportunity to strengthen themselves?

Ying Zheng first said a few words to the Empress Dowager Huayang. The Empress Dowager Huayang was in a bad mood, and then she was about to leave holding the maid's arm. Past playmates and old love."

As soon as the Empress Dowager Huayang left, Ying Zheng heard that Xiong Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Xiong Yi is begging His Majesty for a favor today."

"What grace?" As soon as the Empress Dowager Huayang left, Ying Zheng immediately put away his junior posture, and his aura suddenly became oppressive.

Xiong Yi's ability to endure is not weak, and he did not show any timidity in front of Ying Zheng. He said without any concealment: "I have a friend named Zhao Yi who made a fortune teller in Fengchang Temple. The crime of stealing is about to be executed, and I feel sorry for his old parents, so I specially asked for him." Xiong Yi said this very sincerely, if Ying Zheng hadn't known Zhao Yi for a long time, he would have killed him if he couldn't tell This favor was given to Xiong Yi.

Ying Zheng didn't give up half a point, and said directly: "According to the law of Qin, it is what it is, so how can you talk about grace?"

Xiong Yi was taken aback.

Zhao Yi is such a young official, so letting him go should not be a big deal for the majestic King Qin.Did Xu Fu already mention it in front of King Qin?Xu Fu doesn't look like such a stupid person, even if he is really pampered by the King of Qin, he shouldn't be so proud of being favored by the King of Qin, no matter what happens, he should go to the King of Qin.

Xiong Yi carefully scanned the expression on Ying Zheng's face, which was cold and majestic.

It doesn't look like he would personally take care of someone for the sake of pampering.

According to Qin Wang's temperament, he should feel that such a thing is extremely inferior, right?

Xiong Yi thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why, so he couldn't help but said: "Then Zhao Yi is somewhat involved with the Qin royal family..."

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, "If you have relatives with the Qin royal family, you should strictly abide by the laws of Qin!"

Xiong Yi didn't expect that something that was just mentioned casually would become so troublesome.

At this time, Zhao Yi on the other side had already tasted the taste of despair.

In the dark prison, on the pile of straw, Zhao Yi, who was wearing an official uniform that he could not take off in the future, had completely changed his appearance. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were dirty, he was hungry and his face was pale because he hadn't eaten properly for a few days.There was no air flow in the prison, and Zhao Yi looked as if he was on the verge of death. He leaned weakly on the straw pile, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

He didn't intend to steal the bamboo slip originally.

He was just...he just had no idea for a moment, and wanted to know what Xu Fu wrote on the bamboo slip, so he quietly took the bamboo slip away. After taking it away, he clamored in his heart to make Xu Fu anxious and break him That cold face.

After Xu Fu found out that the bamboo slips were lost, Zhao Yi actually snickered for a while, seeing Xu Fu's ten fingers were worn out trying to drive out the bamboo slips, he felt even more at ease.

How can Xu Fu be patient?Isn't he also an ordinary person?

At that time, Zhao Yi was confident and happy in his heart. The joy of pretending to be an innocent person made his nerves even more paralyzed, and he completely forgot what kind of punishment he would be sentenced to if he was caught stealing.Qiu Ji and Xu Fu couldn't get along because he was seriously ill; Wang Liu and Xu Fu couldn't get along because he became a servant and made a lot of jokes in Fengchang Temple; and what about him?

If you don't do it well, you will lose your life.

Where did Xiong Yi go?

There was a hint of despair in Zhao Yi's eyes.

Only then did he realize that after he was captured, it was useless for him to act, and all his scheming and strategies were useless, because it was impossible for him to even walk out of this dark place. stand up.

Why didn't Mr. Xiong Yi save him?

Why not save him!

Zhao Yi got a little excited, he couldn't breathe out of his chest, and immediately coughed heavily on the straw pile.

There were guards patrolling past the door, and the two guards couldn't help discussing: "The officials in Fengchang Temple have such virtues..."

"Oh, I still remember the man brought by the king's attendants several months ago. He was different in the prison, and his demeanor was not damaged at all! The white clothes, no matter what, are still so... Sigh, I can't think of a word, but I don't know how many times better than this person, and it's no wonder that soon after, the king personally took him away... Now this comparison, the judgment is high... ..."

Hearing that the jailer dared to talk about him like this, Zhao Yi was so angry that he choked blood from his throat.

"You, you..." Zhao Yi originally wanted to scold them, but who knew that he was too weak to speak up, and was almost choked by the blood foam in his throat.

Not long after, someone came and said loudly: "The theft of Fengchang Temple has been decided! Anyone involved in this matter will be punished!"

The two guards were stunned for a moment, they came forward to open the cell door, and said coolly to Zhao Yi: "It's time for execution..."

Zhao Yi's originally weak body suddenly burst out with strength. He struggled violently and stood up from the straw pile with all his strength, "No! I won't go...you go and invite me, invite me Mr. Xiong Yi from Lord Changping’s mansion is here... go and invite Mr. Xiong Yi to come..."

How can it be?How could Xiong Yi seriously abandon him and ignore him?

Execution!

That's to cut off the nose!

If his nose was really cut, how could he return to Fengchang Temple in the future?No, it's not just Fengchang Temple, even if he walks on the streets of Xianyang, people will look at him strangely. Everyone will know that he was once a prisoner who was tortured for theft, and no one will remember. He used to be the young and promising Zhao Taibu in Fengchang Temple.

Zhao Yi was so anxious that he threw himself to the ground, gnawed a mouthful of dirt, gurgled twice in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was really angry and vomited blood.

The two jailers were taken aback, "This...how can this be done?"

Xu Fu didn't remember at all that today was Zhao Yi's execution time, the villain who offended him, and he left it behind after dealing with it, just like that Qiu Ji, after a serious illness, he never looked for that villain again. Qiu Ji's trouble.

When he went to Fengchang Temple, he saw that the eyes of the people looking at him were not right, Xu Fu thought that his neck was exposed to the eyes of the people.

It was too painful to be rubbed there by the clothes, so he deliberately pulled the neckline lower today.

Xu Fu inexplicably felt a sense of embarrassment.

But then he noticed a hint of fear in those eyes, which should have nothing to do with his neck.

For the first time, Xu Fu took the initiative to go to Su Yi's side. He reached out and tapped Su Yi's desk, which attracted Su Yi's attention. Seeing Su Yi looking up at him, he lowered his voice and said, "What happened in Fengchang Temple today?" gone?"

No matter how smart Su Yi was, he immediately understood what Xu Fu was asking, "Everyone already knows that Zhao Yi's sentence has come down, and he is now on his way to execution."

How could there be a few people who became officials and were tortured? This time Zhao Yi and Xu Fu fought, and they were defeated very badly. After the people in Fengchang Temple knew that Zhao Yi was going to end, they immediately became angry with Xu Fu. Be vigilant and fearful.

Even if it was Qiu Ji's serious illness before, although they felt a little uneasy in their hearts, it was difficult to confirm that this kind of thing had something to do with Xu Fuzhen; afterward, Wang Liu competed with Xu Fu, lost face, and even became Xu Fu's servant, but that was just It's all about losing face; where is Zhao Yi now?That's losing his official position and losing his nose. From then on, he lost face, and he would have to be ridiculed and despised when walking on the street... Thinking about it makes people feel chilling.

Xu Fushi is someone who can't be offended!

Some people whose family backgrounds were not considered powerful thought to themselves.

Su Yi wanted to say something, but his eyes suddenly stayed on Xu Fu's neck.

Xu Fu pulled the collar down so that it wouldn't rub against the injured part, but it also invisibly destroyed his cool and abstinent aura in the past. Su Yi blushed unconsciously, and his eyes couldn't be moved away. He looked at Xu Fu's neck again.

This looks like...

Like... the ambiguous marks bitten by his fierce sister-in-law on the side of his newly married brother's ear.

Su Yi blushed at first, and then turned pale again.

Did Xu Fu slip into King Qin's jaws without making a sound?That trace is really shocking!

Su Yi cast a questioning look at Xu Fu.

Xu Fu didn't understand why, and responded with his usual cold eyes.

Su Yi secretly felt heartbroken.

Xu Taibu must have been brutally beaten by the king, but Xu Taibu has a firm and noble heart, so he doesn't expose his wounds to others, and even pretends to be cold, which makes people... feel pity?No, it's admiration!

Xu Fu's image in Su Yi's mind suddenly became eight feet tall for no reason!

Xu Fu didn't know a series of psychological changes in Su Yi's heart, he walked towards his position, leaving Su Yi with a "brilliant" and "forbearing" back...
