Chapter 421: It's Cold in the Heights
"Don't think that you have made meritorious contributions to the palace, without you, the king would not have killed the palace."
Mrs. Li suddenly burst out with such a sentence, thinking that she couldn't find a reason for my flattery, thinking that I was beating her to repay the favor with her life.
At that time, it was only out of my own interests that I kept her, and I didn't think that Mrs. Li must be safe and sound, but since I have something to ask for at this time, and Mrs. Li has mentioned it again, then I should not be polite and just blackmail her.
"But in the end, I saved you."
My "frankness" made Mrs. Li feel much more at ease, and in her concept, if I did not have this kind of debt collection behavior, it would be really abnormal; Inhaling proudly and looking up, her eyes looked up, waiting for me to speak.
"Come to the palace to talk about this, Mrs. Xi has something to ask, right?"
She was very clever, and from the situation a few days ago, she easily understood what I was looking for, and what I was asking for was easy information for her.
"Nature."
She was down, and I didn't sell it, so I started the deal straightforwardly.
With a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, Mrs. Li lowered her eyebrows and glanced at me, asking me to confirm her conjecture.
"What?"
I understand her thoughts, but I don't care about her knowingly asking, all I want is the results that her family can report to her at any time.
Mrs. Li asked, and I opened my mouth unceremoniously.
"Zhao Gao is really dead? Yan Gong Ji is happy, but he is the murderer who killed his uncle? ”
This is a topic that Xianyang City has been talking about lately, and it is also a question that I am anxious to know.
Instead of answering questions and answers, Mrs. Li smiled coldly, dissatisfied with what I wanted.
"Are you too greedy, when this palace is the king, can you tolerate your bottomless desires again and again?
Mrs. Xi, you have to ask two questions to arrive, you have mistaken this palace, this palace will never let others come to damage the advantages of this palace. Just ask. You can ask whatever you want, but this palace will only answer what this palace can answer you. ”
Her demeanor and tone were full of pride.
Mrs. Li's father, Li Youzai, personally interrogated the incident of Ji Xi and Hou Sheng, so Mrs. Li should know more thoroughly about the murder of Hou Sheng, and Zhao Gao's matter is extremely concerned, I should be able to find someone who is more credible to listen to.
"The latter." I made my choice quickly.
Listening to the choice I made, Mrs. Li suddenly felt more and more amused.
"If the latter, you can't ask about this palace, you should ask yourself, this matter has been from beginning to end, but you have done it cleanly."
Hou Sheng's death, did I clean my hands and feet?
"What does Mrs. Li mean by that?" I was so confused by her words.
Glancing at me unpleasantly. Mrs. Li didn't want to argue with me or anything, but because I helped her first, she gave me a little bit of a word out of morality.
"What are you pretending to be confused, Ji Xi will kill a drunk who has nothing to do at this time when he is making his wife suffer from the enemy and the country is choosing his mother?"
Seeing that I was thinking hard, she had no intention of wasting it with me, so she directly threw the answer to me and let me taste it myself: "For the sake of you doing a false incident, this palace sues you, you have done a very successful job, and the family has already decided the result you want." ”
What results do I want? According to Mrs. Li's guess of the way of thinking that I killed Hou Sheng and involved Ji Xi, then the result I wanted was as stated in the incident. Is it the verdict that Ji Xi killed Hou Sheng?
Li You has already decided that Ji Xi is the murderer?
Could it be that the murderer is not Ji Xi, but Li You can't find evidence that he is someone other than Ji Xi? What Mrs. Li laughed at me was just speculation on her or her family's part, wasn't it Qi Guo's own people who took advantage of Hou Sheng's death to blame Ji Xi?
Mrs. Li's resolute look made me mutter. The real cause of death that has been lingering in my heart, although he is useless to Qin and Qi, and even shows signs of betraying the country to survive in Qi, but he is Tian Tianxi's uncle and one of the few Qi people who have ever gotten along with me.
"Mrs. Creek is blessed with longevity and good health!"
Meng Yi and I walked opposite each other, neither dodging. He saluted me as he approached me.
"Congratulations to General Meng for his revenge."
Li Si is busy with the National Day matter, and Meng Yi personally tried the case of Zhao Gao that he pulled out, and he is the person who knows Zhao Gao's life and death best. But I couldn't ask him if he really killed Zhao Gao, so I could only try my best to lead Zhao Gao's matter.
Meng Yi has always regarded Zhao Wu as a benefactor because of his eye disease and was cured by the medicine sent by Zhao Wu, and he has made a lot of efforts to investigate the justification of Zhao Wu's actions during Zhao Wu's imprisonment, although the root cause of Zhao Wu's death is not Zhao Gao's fault, but Zhao Gao is the person who insisted on and directly caused Zhao Wu's death crime, so he has always regarded Zhao Gao as a thorn in his side.
"The last general is just to eliminate the harm for Great Qin."
He did not hide his scheming to kill Zhao Gao, and he did not seem to avoid the consequences suffered by Zhao Gao at this time.
Hearing that Meng Yi had the intention of continuing the conversation, I hurriedly seized the opportunity and continued to ask.
"This palace heard that General Meng Yi adhered to the upright style and brought Zhao Gao to justice, and then this palace heard the news that Zhao Gao would be hidden for a period of time, and after confessing his sins and suffering, he would return to the king's side to be loyal, and all kinds of remarks were praised one after another, it is really true that each has its own gods, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, which is true, General Meng Yi may tell?"
Listening to me inquire about Zhao Gao's fate, Meng Yi's face was a little colder.
"When did Mrs. Creek start to hear these tongue-chewing words?" He seemed very unhappy with the fact that I had gossiped the news to him.
I don't want to meddle in my affairs, but Zhao Gao's matter involves Ying Zheng and Lin Jixiang, as well as my ironclad historical cognition, and I can't help but confirm the details.
"It's about the king's living expenses and the personnel arrangement of the inner palace, and the palace is naturally curious, but I don't know if General Meng Yi is willing to confess to the palace."
I wanted to know the answer, so I asked him for an answer again.
Although he didn't agree with my listening, Meng Yi decided to give me the answer I wanted.
"There's nothing to hide here, and since Mrs. Xi is willing to listen, the last general will naturally tell the truth." He looked cold and resolute, and said coldly: "The last general personally stabbed Zhao Gao's head, and placed his head in the dungeon area, so that the guards and inner prisoners under the last general have seen it to show vigilance. ”
This remark seems to be infused with Haoran righteousness, and Meng Yi in his speech is confident and firm, so that I am very sure that what he said is the truth.
But what the hell is going on? Why did Zhao Gao die, and why did Zhao Gao, who died after Yingzheng, die? Could it be that the space in which I live is different from the historical space I know, and I am not in the Qin Dynasty on the earth 2,000 years ago in the sense of my understanding?
What a strange space in an instant!
Trembling with goosebumps all over my body, I trembled away from Meng Yi, who had given me this sense of fear, and walked under the sun for a long time without getting warm.
Although I don't know if I can go back to the space, but the Qin Dynasty on the earth two thousand years ago I finally knew some information, so it was quite kind, but what kind of place is this?
"Madame!"
I stumbled accidentally, but fortunately, I noticed that my face was wrong, and Luo Onion, who had been quietly supporting me by the side, quickly stabilized my body, and the grandmother on the other side was also busy with her to set me up.
I felt a little better when I was held by them at both ends, but at this time I suddenly wanted to hug Yingzheng, and wanted to smell his breath to give me solid strength.
"Can the king be in the Qiongyang Palace?" I asked weakly.
It was a casual question, but the afterglow of my eyes swept to Mama's gaze at Luo Cong and Luo Cong biting her lip to peek at me, and this abnormal silence and scene made my heart beat even more coldly.
"What's going on again? But the king is on him, Luo Onion, you speak quickly! ”
I stared at Luo Onion with wide eyes, and my heart was burning with unpredictable news.
Seeing that I didn't dare to slack off when I yelled, Luo Onion held my arm so tightly that it couldn't be tighter, which briefly explained the reason for their demeanor.
"The king is nothing serious, and the lady should not be in a hurry.
The slave maid also learned that the king fell ill not long after hearing that Zhao Changshou was imprisoned, and according to the humanity of the Qiongyang Palace, the recent events of the previous dynasty have been haunting, and it is not a serious illness.
Since yesterday, the king has sent several ladies to take care of him, but our Qixi Palace has not received a summons, so the slave maid is worried that you and the little master will be sad, so she will not report to you first. ”
Compared with receiving the summons, what hovered in my mind more was the fact that Yingzheng was ill.
"The king is sick? Caused by overwork? My question was met with Luo Cong's incessant nodding in promise, and I was angry for a while, and reprimanded her: "If he doesn't summon the palace, can't the palace go to see him?" ”
It is not easy for husband and wife to be together, and it is even more difficult to hold hands together when they are born, old, sick and dead, and now that Yingzheng is sick, I instinctively want to accompany him, because his cause may still be the depression that I am angry with him.
Luo Liang was very aggrieved, but she was afraid that I would be worried, so she just quickly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, raised her head and flashed her slender eyelashes upward, so as to prevent the tears that were rolling in her eye sockets from flowing back.
"There is an order from the king, no one can enter the Qiongyang Palace without being summoned, and those who violate the order will be beheaded, so the slave maid dared not report to the lady in time, otherwise, whatever the slave and maid say, it will be because the lady may want to go to the Qiongyang Palace to tell the news."
Ying Zheng summoned the other princesses but didn't have my share, what did he think in his heart, maybe it was really just because he refused to forgive me.
"If you don't report it this time, forget it, and from now on, everything will be related to the king's affairs, no matter how big or small, no matter how important it is, as long as you have time, you will report it quickly."
My eagerness and anxiety made Luo Cong worry, she glanced at me who was looking at her seriously, lowered her head slightly, and pointed her neck carefully.
"The slave has written it down." She replied with a red face, thinking that I was determined to go to Yingzheng, so she hurriedly admonished again: "Madam, the slave has inquired, and the king really won't see us." (To be continued......)
