Chapter 401: Torture
Afraid, I was also lonely for Yingzheng's stubbornness, staring at his unhappy expression, and I answered his words truthfully.
"The slave concubine knows."
I know that it is not a pity to die if you are disobedient or vain about Yingzheng - Yingzheng will not take back the order to let the descendants of the Tian family live in a hurry, right?
I was worried, and Ying Zheng issued a pardon in a rough voice.
"For the sake of your unstable mind and the king's heir, the widow will not care about you, but if you commit it again, you will not be forgiven."
Although I was acquitted, I didn't feel relaxed and relieved for this, and I was silent, so I just lay on Yingzheng's lap, motionless and stuffy.
Probably the anger subsided a little, and Ying Zheng spoke in a dull atmosphere again in a much better tone, and his tone was softer, but although I was grateful for his initiative and kindness, I was still depressed - not angry with Ying Zheng, but more angry with myself and the situation that could not be changed.
"Your prophecy is clear through the sky, and now it is a miracle that it has come true, outsiders are blessed by heaven and have a phoenix by their side, it is a great power from heaven, and it cannot be artificial.
An Guo Dingbang, you have made a great effort, say, what reward do you want? ”
The contribution can only make Lin Jixiang and Tian Tianxi's clansmen more successful, what do I have to be happy about?
"The concubine doesn't dare." I replied.
My depressed mood caused Governor Ying to take a breath, he adjusted his mentality, and continued to speak as well as he could.
"The widow once said that you just want to be in the back position. Widowhood can also be considered. ”
Such an obvious point touched my heart, but I couldn't go to my heart when I heard it.
"The ancestors are not in blood relatives and starved. Gou has been ashamed to live, and the slave concubine has no face to stand under the spirit of the high hall. ”
If Tian Tianxi was alive, she would not have sought wealth and glory during the period when Tian Jian and others starved to death, not to mention, Yingzheng was wary of me, if I was the last. If something bad happens in the coming day, it will not only be a shame on the face of the government. I'm going to break his heart, too.
In fact, what I am most afraid of is that Lin Jixiang, who is in forbearance, will not be able to accept this blow that is enough to make him desperate, and will destroy the peace of the three of us.
Ying Zheng is fed up with my cold face.
"Are you going to speak like that? Do you know that the widow has given you the greatest amount of leniency to please you? ”
His expression was cold and angry. I know that he has been impatient with me, but does he have to use such cruel methods to kill a "scapegoat" who has no courage in his life?
"Slave concubine, thank the king for his kindness."
Ying Zheng is used to being domineering, he no longer knows what "consultation" means, in order to be happy for a while, he can willfully ignore the degree of destruction of others, and I thought timidly, treat Tian Jian like this, if he catches Lin Jixiang. What will happen?
Seeing that I was not at all restrained by his warning, Yingzheng became more and more depressed, and he picked me up and walked away a little. Turning his back to me, he said, "You're really arrogant. ”
"Then, the slave concubine pleaded guilty."
Hearing that I still begged for mercy softly, Yingzheng completely lost his patience, and he snorted coldly and walked out while talking.
"Zhao Gao, hurry up the order, I must let Wang Ben see Tian Jian starve to death with his own eyes!"
I sat on the couch. Put your arms around your legs and bury your head between your knees. I am lonely and sad for the tragedy caused by my impatience and the impulse of Yingzheng.
Because I don't have to boil porridge and send it, if Yingzheng doesn't come and I don't go, we will almost lose contact with each other, and the day without Yingzheng's grace coincides with the sinking of the Qi country, and my day is surprisingly quiet and lonely.
The weather is getting warmer and the flowers are blooming more and more colorful, but I walk among the gorgeous flower clusters, but I don't have the slightest desire to be happy.
In this palace, when the reign of Yingzheng came to dominate the world, the only thing that was not as happy as I was was Tian Tianyu, who walked with her head down without looking at the scenery, because she walked in the direction of me, obviously not aware of my presence.
"Say hello to Mrs. Creek."
This is the first time that Tian Tianyu has given me a ritual after being the seventh son, although the first time that our encounter was exposed outside Qixi Palace, I can also clearly feel her worries and disgust for me between her eyebrows.
What was she worried about, worried about letting go of her pride and resentment, and saying goodbye to me safely?
"Didn't my sister say that my sisters don't need to be more ordinary, but now they are in different positions, but the order of the sisters is still there, and my sister doesn't dare to be squatted by my sister."
I replied slightly to the courtesy, in order to support the courtesy of Tian Tianyu.
His fair face was full of sad exhaustion, and he smiled bitterly at me, and Tian Tianyu despised my "floating void".
"The national capital is broken, what sisters are you talking about, Mrs. Xi doesn't want to tease the slave concubine." She was depressed and didn't have a little energy.
Yes, the capital of the country is broken, and she naturally has nowhere to vent her grief and anger.
"When the country is broken, sisterhood is gone, right?" I looked at the flowers not far away and said, "I know my sister is uncomfortable, but how can my heart be open?" My sister can still push and press on my head to vent her anger at me, but I know that Qi Guo can't be saved, who should I blame? ”
As I spoke, the suppressed emotions in my heart were about to move, and my tears were about to gather into drops.
It seemed that I felt that my words were weak, and it seemed that there was no need to worry about these things with me, Tian Tianyu dropped two tears from his head and walked past me without a word.
The silence close to the atmosphere is really sad.
"Sister Yu," I shouted, turned to look at Tian Tianyu's lonely back, and asked her lightly: "Brother Rong is not coming to Xianyang, have you probed the king's mouth?" ”
I want to know that Ying Zheng's attitude towards Tian Rong's refusal to come to Qin will also be punished with capital punishment like Tian Jian, but we didn't communicate, and I didn't have a chance to ask for a while.
didn't turn around, Tian Tianyu just stood like that, and his words were simple and weak, as if he didn't answer the truth.
"I'm tired."
After she finished speaking, she was about to raise her foot again, but I stopped her again.
"What did he say to you?"
What did Lin Jixiang use to coerce her, to make her so listless and combative, and to make her no longer want to have anything to do with me but dare not be categorically hostile, I am very curious.
Standing still for a while, Tian Tianyu looked up at the sky, and after a long time, he looked straight ahead again and answered me.
"Tian Rong and the lives of my parents, you may be regarded as a mustard, but I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb to protect it."
It turned out that Lin Jixiang was using Tian Tianyu's life to blackmail her, no wonder she was so burdened, cautious and absolute.
Life, life, life, in the eyes of these people, is life really so cheap, can you do whatever you want as a bargaining chip? The loneliness in my heart dissipated, and I began to be depressed again: If it weren't for the protection of me, Lin Jixiang wouldn't have to exchange his life for my life to coerce Tian Tianyu, it was all because of me.
Tian Jian didn't last long, and the news of his death quickly spread, and this rapidly spreading rumor even arrived before the descendants of the Tian clan led by Hou Sheng came to Xianyang.
Tian Jian's death announced the complete demise of Qi Guo, although I don't have too deep feelings for Qi Guo, but the attachment in Tian Tianxi's bones is irresistible to me, which is not obvious on weekdays, but at this moment it is instinctively surging bitter feelings.
And the end of the Qi regime was also the beginning of the peak power of Yingzheng.
The six behemoths of Han Wei, Chu, and Zhao Yanqi were erased from the map forever with little parrying power. The space they left behind became a uniform color on the map of later generations, and a huge "Qin" character was written.
China has since entered a new era.
The palace of King Qin was boiling, and the entire huge Qin Kingdom in Xianyang City was lively, especially when Hou Sheng led the King of Qi to come to Xianyang City as the last batch of guests from the Six Kingdoms of the East to settle in Xianyang, almost everyone was running to tell each other the news, and the inner palace was completely happy.
I didn't go to greet the arrival of the descendants of the Qi Guotian clan, nor did I personally settle and comfort their settlement status, because I didn't know them well, and I really didn't know what to say when the country was dying.
Now that Tian Rong and his wife have not arrived, Tian Tianyu is lighter than me, and the person the entire Tian family has to rely on is the name Tian Tianxi, so I let Luo Cong have full authority to personally settle their food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is more comprehensive than what they asked for as a guest, and Luo Cong is already with them, and he will take care of them wholeheartedly.
Perhaps because I had seen the old people I hadn't seen for a long time, although Luo Cong was tired when she returned from the rush, she was in good spirits, and I asked her to sit down and rest while listening to her report on the progress of the matter.
"Madam, according to your orders, the slaves and maids have been completed, and the old man and his family members who came to Xianyang City have set up camp and settled down in Pingning.
Many ladies asked if your amnesia was cured, and the slave replied truthfully that she had not improved, but she would not ignore them, and asked them to rest assured.
The fake marquis originally said that he would come to see you in person, but the slave maid told them that you are pregnant and noisy, and that red tape is avoided, anyway, you will live in the same city for a long time in the future.
There must have been a lot of inconvenience in the past, and the slaves and maids asked them to send people into the palace to say something if they had something, and also relayed the instructions of Mrs. You to let them behave in Qi Guofang in a low-key manner, as far as today's situation is concerned, these masters all know the importance of coming to Xianyang City by themselves, so there will not be too much trouble. ”
As a captive who surrendered, although he didn't have to be too humble to aggrieved his own life, he didn't have no host and guest seat like Ji Xi, otherwise he accidentally got into trouble, but it was not as easy as he did in his own country before.
"I've always been relieved that you do things, and you should follow up after that, after all, they are familiar with you, and some requirements are convenient." (To be continued) >
