29. Jin Ke's "showdown"
Chapter 29, Jin Ke's "showdown"
When Jin Ke woke up again, he was fine. Although the pill is a little more ferocious, the amount Jin Ke took was relatively small, and his original body was good, so it was considered to be dangerous.
In fact, Jin Ke also knew that a pill was not a โกโก like Hedinghong, who saw blood and sealed his throat, and it was impossible to eat a dead person. As a person who grew up in the 21st century and was poisoned by "gutter oil", "poisoned capsules", "poisonous steamed buns" and a certain milk powder, this little dose is simply pediatric. Not to mention that Jin Ke's hometown is still in a city full of haze. That's why Jin Ke dared to "test the medicine" for Yingzheng.
Jin Ke also went to see Xu Fu in prison.
Xu Fu was beaten with a hundred lashes, and the scars all over his body reminded Jin Ke of the whip he received a few years ago. Jin Ke definitely didn't get a hundred lashes that time. Jin Ke felt that a normal person would definitely not survive after receiving a hundred whips. However, it seems that the ancients had a better ability to resist blows. For example, Xu Fu, a person who seems to be not weak but can definitely be called a white-faced scholar, actually withstood a hundred whips.
"Mr. Xu Fu, the queen has come to see you!" The queen is here, and of course the jailer is very polite to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu thought that he might be hated by the queen because he was too cold. If you are hated by the queen again this time, you don't know how to be rectified by Jin Ke. Thinking of this, Xu Fu struggled to get up.
Jin Ke saw that Xu Fu was about to tidy up the wounds on his body and was hungry, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Xu Fu, don't move!" "How can I say that Xu Fu was framed by himself this time, Jin Ke was still very ashamed to see Xu Fu's wounds all over his body. If it weren't for Yingzheng, Jin Ke would never have been such a wicked person.
The queen gave the order, and Xu Fu naturally didn't dare to move.
Jin Ke said: "Jin Ke came this time to make amends to Lord Xu!" โ
"Queen, you are really a troublemaker! I can't afford it! Xu Fu said.
Jin Ke said: "No! That pill was the batch that Jin Ke deliberately took that Lord Xu eliminated! It made the emperor angry and affected Lord Xu! โ
It's good that Jin Ke didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Xu Fu was uneasy again. At this moment, Xu Fu didn't care whether he was pleasing Jin Ke or not, but asked directly: "Then dare to ask why the queen wants to frame Xu Fu?" Did Xu Fu offend the queen? โ
"Not really!" Jin Ke said, "It's just that Lord Xu knows that His Majesty is a very serious person!" โ
What does that mean? Xu Fu didn't understand what Jin Ke meant at first.
"Jin Ke knows that Lord Xu's elixir does have a certain effect on strengthening the body!" Jin Ke saw Xu Fu's doubts, but he still continued, "If Your Majesty takes the adult's pill, you will definitely be able to feel the effect of the pill!" โ
"And once His Majesty senses that the elixir is effective, he will inevitably let the minister refine it more!" Xu Fu took Jin Ke's words.
"Yes!" Jin Ke nodded, "Compared to Lord Xu, you also know that the pill you have refined must not be consumed in excess!" At that time, how should adults persuade His Majesty? Therefore, simply don't let Your Majesty get infected with this elixir! โ
If Xu Fu can't come back at this time, he will not be the Mr. Xu Fu Xu who crossed the sea in history.
"It turned out that the queen saved my next life!" Xu Fu said to Jin Ke gratefully. Now that he knows that Jin Ke is for his own good, Xu Fu is not a person who does not know current affairs.
Jin Ke waved his hand and said, "Lord Xu is polite!" I don't know what Master Xu's plans are in the future? โ
Xu Fu said: "What else can I plan? Thanks to the queen for saving the life of the minister. Regardless of whether the minister can get out of this prison in the future, the minister will pray for the queen! โ
"Lord Xu is so unambitious?" Jin Ke said, "It's really a waste of His Majesty's reuse of Lord Xu!" It's also a waste of Jin Ke's heart that wants to save adults out! โ
"What does the queen mean?" Xu Fu asked.
"I can plead with His Majesty Xiร and release Lord Xu from prison!" Jin Ke said, "But Lord Xu wants to continue to serve the emperor!" โ
"What else can you do for Your Majesty?" Xu Fu said a little dejectedly.
"Does Lord Xu know what the other side of the sea looks like? Perhaps on the other side of the sea, a more magical place. There really is an art of immortality, or an elixir of immortality. Jin Ke said, "Why don't Lord Xu go east for His Majesty and seek the immortal medicine?" โ
"How did the Queen find out?" Xu Fu asked. Xu Fu's hometown is in the coastal area, and he has been full of yearning for the other side of the sea since he was a child. But I heard that this queen was originally a person sent by Yan Guo, and she has been staying in Xianyang City since then and has never gone out again. How do you know what's going on on the other side of the sea?
"It's a secret!" Jin Ke smiled mysteriously, "Lord Xu only needs to tell Jin Ke, if you want to go!" โ
"If the queen can make His Majesty agree!" Xu Fu still struggled to get up, knelt down in front of Jin Ke and said, "Xu Fu must be loyal to the queen!" โ
"Lord Xu, please get up!" Jin Ke took a step forward and helped Xu Fu up, "What Jin Ke wants is not Lord Xu's loyalty to Jin Ke, but the adult's loyalty to His Majesty!" โ
"The minister should be loyal to His Majesty! The heart of Zhaozhao, the sun and the moon can be seen! Xu Fu said.
"Good!"
Jin Ke was in the bedroom, remembering what Xu Fu said to himself at the end: "The queen should be careful of Lord Zhao beside His Majesty!" โ
Since Xu Fu said so, it must be that this Zhao Gao Zhao said something in front of Xu Fu again. Jin Ke didn't understand this Lord Zhao very much, at least in the current form, he couldn't fight himself. What is it that supports this Lord Zhao Gao Zhao to find his own stubble so tirelessly?
Jin Ke remembered that at the beginning, Zhao Gao still respected him. I remember that a few years ago, when Qin Wuyang pretended to surrender to Cheng and assassinated Yingzheng, Jin Ke was involved. Zhao Gao also once interceded for Jin Ke. At that time, although Jin Ke knew that Zhao Gao was a traitor, he was still very polite to him. Later, I don't know what the reason was, so that Zhao Gao's hatred of Jin Ke gradually turned into hatred.
couldn't figure out what Zhao Gao thought, so Jin Ke didn't want to. He didn't have much effort to spend on people like Zhao Gao who had nothing to do with him.
When Ying Zheng came back and had dinner with Jin Ke, Jin Ke mentioned Xu Fu's matter to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng looked at Jin Ke and said, "Xu Fu almost killed you, and you still have to intercede for him?" โ
Jin Ke said: "Didn't I tell you? I took that medicine on purpose! It has nothing to do with Xu Fu! Besides, Xu Fu is a talent, if he is locked up in prison for the rest of his life, will he be buried soon? โ
"Am I still missing such a charlatan?" Ying Zheng said.
"But Mr. Xu is much better at this than others! And above the vast sea, except for Mr. Xu, who can guarantee that he will not get lost? Jin Ke said, "Lord Zhao, do you say yes!" โ
Zhao Gao was originally listening from the sidelines, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly be involved again. Xu Fu was recommended by Li Si, and Zhao Gao is basically on the same team as Li Si now. He naturally won't let Li Si lose trust in front of Yingzheng.
Therefore, Zhao Gao rarely echoed Jin Ke's words: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the queen is right!" โ
His own retainer Zhao Gao and his "favorite concubine" Jin Ke are both talking about Xu Fu's goodness, and no matter how firm his mind is, Yingzheng has been more or less affected by this gust of wind in his ears.
"Okay, since you've all said so, then I'll give Xu Fu another chance!" Ying Zheng said, "Let him go to sea and look for the elixir of immortality!" โ
"Then when are you going to release Mr. Xu Fu?" Jin Ke asked.
"What, I still want to lock him up for a day?" Ying Zheng said, "Because of his medicine, my Empress of Great Qin was in a coma for two days!" "It also scared me for two days!
"Good, good! Just lock him up for a few more days! Knowing that Ying Zheng felt sorry for himself, and if he didn't give him such a breath, he was afraid that it would be difficult to do, Jin Ke readily agreed.
After eating, Yingzheng wanted to rest, but Jin Ke said that he wanted to go out for a walk and consume food by the way.
Ying Zheng said: "Zhao Gao, you go and serve the queen with you!" โ
"No!" Zhao Gao responded
"Lord Zhao is a smart person, he should know what Jin Ke is going to do when he invites Lord Zhao out!" Jin Ke stayed away from the bedroom before speaking.
Zhao Gao said: "Queen, please forgive the ministers for being stupid, I really don't know what you mean." โ
"Okay, since Lord Zhao doesn't want to admit it, then I'll make it clear!" Jin Ke raised his head and looked at Zhao Gao, "Why has Lord Zhao been targeting me?" โ
"Where do you start?" Zhao Gao was going to kneel down for Jin Ke, "The minister is really wronged!" โ
"Wronged?" Jin Ke smiled and said, "Lord Zhao, everyone in this world can say that they are wronged, only you must not say that you are wronged!" That's going to make people laugh out of their teeth! Zhao Gao, I didn't call you out this time, I didn't want to influence you or anything like that! I just want to remind Lord Zhao that no matter what, the most trusted person is me and not you, so you'd better not make some small moves to disconnect the relationship between me and you. Otherwise, if I blow the pillow wind to His Majesty or something, don't blame me! โ
After Jin Ke said these words, he didn't wait for Zhao Gao to explain anything (anyway, what Zhao Gao said, Jin Ke wouldn't believe it!) Who would be okay to believe the words of the first traitor? And gone.
Zhao Gao kept kneeling on the ground, cold sweat constantly dripping down his forehead.
If you want to say why Zhao Gao has been targeting Jin Ke, the reason is that the thoughtful Zhao Gao found that Jin Ke, who seemed to be very arrogant, seemed to know everything. This made Zhao Gao feel that his ambition was seen through. With this feeling, Zhao Gao tried his best to get rid of Jin Ke. After all, it really doesn't feel good to be prying eyes on your secrets.
Now it seems that Jin Ke does know something. But just like Jin Ke said, Zhao Gao had no way to take him at all. What Zhao Gao can do is just a "forbearance".
