Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

037

The 53rd year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin was the end of 254 BC.

The Great Qin Iron Cavalry who was supposed to march south after conquering the Wei State interrupted their journey because Qin Wangji fell ill.

Xianyang City was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

The Qin palace was busy up and down, but the king of Qin in the bedroom didn't notice it.

Qin Wang Yingji had a dream.

In the dream, he came to a strange mansion. It was late at night, but the mansion was brightly lit.Ying Ji bypassed the servants who looked hurried, and stopped in front of a certain house. Not long after, the door was knocked open by panic, and then the manager's shout came out.

"Madam? Madam!!!"

Through the open door, Ying Ji saw a young woman with a vague face hanging from the beam, and the steward hurriedly put her down, but it was a pity that she came a step too late, the young woman was already out of breath.

Ying Ji didn't have time to sigh, and the scene in the dream changed again.

It was still late at night, and a child whose face could not be seen was hugged by his mother, and hid in a dirty pit with a panicked expression. There was the sound of soldiers chasing him in the distance, but his mother was exhausted, unable to move. Not letting go of the immature boy, the two staggered and struggled to escape.

Immediately afterwards, the scene in the dream changed again.

That embarrassing child lived in the Proton Mansion, where he was ridiculed and bullied all day long.

He squatted in a corner, protecting his head with his hands, surrounded by children in rich clothes and well-fed food, who threw stones at him and couldn't help but spit on him.

"You are an outcast, how dare you yell at the young master?"

"Who doesn't know that you were thrown in Handan by your father!"

"How did the State of Qin hit us? You have to call me back today, and hit me hard!"

Until this time, Ying Ji in his dream suddenly realized that the child in front of him who couldn't see his face clearly was his grandson Ying Zheng who stayed in Handan as a hostage!

Didn't the hanged woman—

In the shock, Qin Wangji shuddered and suddenly woke up.

He opened his eyes, only to feel cold sweat all over his head and body.

King Qin got up in shock, and suddenly found that his body, which had been heavy due to fever before, was much lighter.

"The king is awake?"

The waiter's voice brought King Qin back to reality, he turned his head to meet the waiter's gaze.

The old eunuch who had been serving him all his life couldn't help being overjoyed to see King Qin's sanity and quick response: "The king is awake! The king will be here later, and I will call the doctor to come over!"

The King of Qin said "hmm", and then asked, "How is Handan?"

"Handan?"

The waiter was taken aback, but still responded dutifully: "It is said that the world has changed in Handan. After Marquis Chunping fled to the Kingdom of Wei, the King of Zhao was furious, and directly cut his title, abolished the crown prince, and replaced him with Prince Yan... Your Majesty Why did you suddenly think of asking about Handan?"

King Qin: "I dreamed about Zheng'er."

Seeing that King Qin's expression was unclear, the servant asked cautiously, "Is it a bad dream?"

After waking up, Qin Wangji thought about it carefully, not so much a dream...it was more like what should have happened.

The first woman to be hanged in the dream was probably Mrs. Meng Kai.In this way, wouldn't the subsequent dream be about Mrs. Meng Kai's death?

If Meng Kai dies, his precious grandson will suffer all kinds of cold eyes and bullying in Handan, which is worse than what Qin Wangji suffered when he was young.

Thinking of this, King Qin, who has been domineering all his life and swept across the six kingdoms, can't help feeling a little scared.

"Send someone to tell Zichu to come and see the widow." King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Zi Chu is waiting outside the hall."

"Waiting outside?" King Qin couldn't help being surprised.

"Isn't it?" The waiter said with a smile: "Master Zi Chu has been guarding outside since he heard that the king was ill, and he didn't listen to him when he was called back."

"This child." King Qin said helplessly, "He is also an idiot."

That's what he said, but there was a bit of a smile in the old King Qin's words.

Qin Wangji was very clear-headed. He knew that what Ying Zichu did was nothing more than to curry favor with him—even though he was a grandfather and grandson, but Zichu was young and hosts Zhao, what kind of relationship could the two have?

But even if it's to please her, she can't find any fault at this level.

"Can you tell Mr. Zichu to go back first?"

"Let him come in." King Qin waved his hand: "Just after guarding his father, he came over to guard his widow again. It's hard to say that we don't see each other."

"Yes."

The waiter nodded and stepped back.

Not long after, Ying Zichu cautiously walked into the bedroom.

He looked at King Qin with concern, and saw that he had returned to his former self, he let out a long sigh of relief: "Is grandfather feeling better now?"

"The widow just dreamed about Zheng'er." King Qin said.

Ying Zichu's eyes widened slightly, and there was a momentary blankness in the back of his face.Seeing him surprised and excited, but afraid to speak, Qin Wangji only thought it was funny.

"What are you afraid of?" King Qin asked.

"Going back to grandfather, I'm not afraid, but..."

Ying Zichu carefully considered his words, lowered his voice, and tried his best to answer in a calm tone: "The current situation in Zhao State has changed, and now the prince of Zhao State has been abolished, and the son Yan has been replaced as the prince. As far as I know, the prince Yan has repeatedly bullied the government in Handan. My son, if it weren't for Mrs. Meng Wei's protection, Zheng'er's life in Handan might be difficult. I... really worried."

"Sure enough, it's Meng Kai." King Qin couldn't help sighing when he heard this.

"Your Majesty?" Ying Zichu was puzzled.

King Qin waved his hand, and had no intention of talking further.

But recalling the dream just now, Qin Wangji still has lingering fears.

It is said that when people are old, they know their destiny.Now Qin Wang Yingji is reaching the age of knowing the destiny, who knows if this dream is an instruction from God.

"Marquis Chunping fled, and this could have been an excuse to send troops to recruit Zhao." The King of Qin said, "But the widow is not feeling well recently, so forget it. As for Zhao Guo, it may be out of self-defense, which is not good for Zhenger. Since the widow does not use this to attack Zhao Don’t even try to bully me, son of the state of Qin, even the state of Zhao. Come on, pass on the order of the widow, and order Meng Tian to take a light horse and rush to Handan to take over Zheng’er and Mrs. Meng Wei and return to Qin.”

Ying Zichu was shocked when he heard the words.

He looked at King Qin in disbelief. The young master Zi Chu, who was always watertight and cautious, showed a rare look of being at a loss in front of King Qin.

"Kings--"

At a critical moment, he stopped the car again and calmed down his emotions: "Your Majesty, please think twice! Zheng'er is the proton of Qin State, and he should stay in Zhao State. Even if it is dangerous, it is for Qin State!"

Qin Wangji laughed when he heard his advice.

The look of anticipation to reunite with his wife and children could not be concealed in the eyeballs of the young son, and he still insisted on being prudent?

"You don't listen to the king's orders?" King Qin said with a smile: "I'm getting old, and I want to have all my children and grandchildren, so I can't even have a grandson by my side?"

Ying Zichu couldn't hold back his excitement, and saluted one after another: "...Yes, yes! I take orders!"

It never occurred to him that after spending several days and nights guarding outside King Qin's bedroom, he would come back with such a big surprise.

After being separated from his wife and children for several years, Ying Zichu thought that...he would be able to bring Agui and Zhenger back in a legitimate way until the day he became King of Qin one day.

I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

After leaving Qin Palace, Ying Zichu wished he could fly to Lu Buwei's residence.

"Mr. Buwei!"

He was carrying his clothes, looking hurried, but smiling all over his face: "Just now the king sent an order to invite General Yingxi to take Agui and Mrs. Mengwei home!"

Lu Buwei's writing hand stopped suddenly, and the handwriting couldn't help but crooked to the horizon, and a good silk book was scrapped just like that.

The eyebrows and eyes on his white face had just been raised, and the smile on his mouth hadn't spread yet, and he retracted it again.

"I see."

Lu Buwei calmly said: "Wei Sheng! Let the caravan bring some money and silver to Zhao Guo, and make arrangements for all the shops and staff left by Zhao Guo."

Ying Zichu was a little puzzled: "Why are you still thinking about my servant?"

Of course Lu Buwei didn't miss it, if he did, he wouldn't have left his stall and fled with Ying Zichu.

but--

"It's not my concern." Lu Buwei replied, "It's Madam's concern."

Although the two never mentioned it in their letters, Lu Buwei was particularly self-aware: if he didn't arrange it well, Meng Kai would definitely find him to settle the score.

…………

……

At the same time, Lu Mansion in Handan.

Wei Xing entered the door in a hurry, Zhao Weizhen took a deep breath and got up from the long table.

"What's up?" she asked.

"Lang-jun Meng Yi said that he already knew." Wei Xing replied: "He will pay attention to the movements of the Proton House and swear to protect the safety of Mr. Zheng."

But... there is no need to make up your mind like this!

Zhao Weizhen originally wanted to make a few jokes, but when the words came to his lips, seeing Wei Xing's expression of pressure, she still didn't say it.

Now that Gongzi Yan has become Prince Yan, even if Zhao Weizhen got Pingyuan Jun's promise, it doesn't mean that she and Xiao Yingzheng are completely safe.

In this regard, Zhao Weizhen specially notified Qin's envoys stationed in Zhao and Meng Yi in the Proton Mansion to be vigilant.At the same time, she also instructed the shopkeepers of restaurants and shops to pay attention to the rumors and trends in the market.

The wind became more and more tense: Prince Yan took advantage of the opportunity of Mr. Pingyuan to recuperate, and began to win over followers and party members.He has no competitors, and he does things with more fanfare than usual.

There is a lot of intention to start dealing with people who have offended him before, and they have to come one by one.

Wei Xing: "And—"

Zhao Weizhen: "What else?"

The pressure on Wei Xing's face was not without reason, he frowned slightly: "When I left, the steward of the Proton Mansion said to me that in recent days, guards and guards have been changed frequently, and this month is already the third time. time."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

Worse!

Zhao Weizhen sent people to spend a lot of money to manage the guards of the Proton Mansion before.Even if something happens now, these guards should take care of him for the sake of money and gifts.

But if you change people, that's not necessarily the case.

This brat Zhao Yan...Zhao Weizhen felt both hateful and speechless.

If you say he is smart, some of the stupid things he does are comparable to the vicious villains in Shuangshuang novels; if you say he is stupid, this kind of dirty tricks are done one after another without hesitation.

It was also fortunate that Zhao Yan caused trouble before, which killed the last steward of the Proton Mansion.The new steward was appointed by Mr. Pingyuan himself, and he was regarded as one of his own.

Zhao Weizhen also managed the relationship with the proton mansion in advance, and had a good relationship with the stewards and guards of the proton mansion, so he got the news of the steward.

Changing guards so early must be that Zhao Yan is planning to harm Xiao Yingzheng!

"We must be one step ahead."

Zhao Weizhen was categorical: "Act before Prince Yan takes action."

Wei Xing was very worried: "I don't know when Prince Yan will strike. If he kills first and then plays, even Lord Pingyuan will not be able to do it, ma'am!"

This is true.

Zhao Weizhen's mind was spinning wildly, and he couldn't think of any way to be on guard.

This is how it is easy to guard against a gentleman and difficult to guard against a villain. If he does not reason with you, you have nowhere to guard against.

and so……

In an emergency, Zhao Weizhen finally understood why Lu Buwei would let Ying Zichu abandon his wife and son without saying a word, and the two fled overnight.

"same as usual."

Zhao Weizhen took a deep breath: "Run away!"

Wei Xing: "Huh?"

Zhao Weizhen: "Let's steal Mrs. Gui and Mr. Zheng out."

Wei Xing: "Huh???"
