Chapter 256: The Whereabouts of the State of Chu
I feel a heavy guilt in my heart, but I have to let go of one of them.
Luo Liang looked at my sad appearance and burst into tears with sadness.
"How could Madame say that?
The slave maid was concerned about whether the lady had been wronged, not worried about the safety of the Qi country. The slave maid was wondering if King Qin's decision to send troops was due to the rumors, and he felt that his wife was really disloyal, and if this was the case, his wife would suffer. β
She said that she was worried and burst into tears.
I know that Luo Cong is thinking about me wholeheartedly, but it is precisely because of her true feelings that I care more and more about her mood.
"It's okay for me, if the king doesn't intend to kill me to clear the door, I'm still the wife of the chief envoy of the Qin State, and I have a fixed residence, so it's a big deal to go back to the time when we first entered the palace of the Qin king."
My heart ached, but this pain was instantly buried by a great sense of worry, and I tightened the hand that I was holding tightly, reassuring her heart that was worried about me.
"Madame, how can you be as easy as you say you are?" Luo Cong blinked his tearful eyes and said with pity: "If the king's heart is not here with Madame, Madame's sleepless nights and the suffering of cold and sickness will affect Madame's noble body." β
Since Yingzheng's love was transmitted to Qixi Palace, I have been greatly improved because I realized that my heart for Lin Jixiang is dependent rather than love. Because my heart belongs, although I live in a thrilling life every day, my body and soul are solid and steady.
If it is really said to Luo Cong, Ying Zheng's heart is not in Qixi Palace, and I am afraid that my heart after losing it will be even more empty than if I didn't get it before!
I don't want to think about it, and I don't dare to think about it.
"Let's hurry up and repair the book for Xiangjue."
It is imperative that the most important thing is to let Lin Jixiang hurry up and arrange the aftermath of the imminent occupation of the Qi State.
If Lin Jixiang really has the heart to resist. Then he will know the news of Ying's political envoy as soon as possible, and the Qi State will not be caught off guard by the Qin soldiers; If he has no intention of resisting and just wants to properly arrange the future life of Tian Jian and others, it will give him more time to lay out the details.
Luo Liang looked at me, his face was worried and worried, when he heard my words, he wanted to step but turned back, and he wanted to speak but hesitated to say it.
"At this point, I can handle everything. Say, what's wrong? β
I looked ahead, felt Luo Onion's hesitation and contradiction, and opened my mouth to relieve her.
Listening to the question that I thought something was wrong, Luo Cong hurriedly denied my doubts.
"It's not that there's anything wrong, but," she paused, biting her lower lip and inhaling sharply. frowned and asked recklessly, "Is Madam leaving the Qin Kingdom?" β
Luo Onion asked recklessly, and I listened confusedly.
"Huh?" I looked up at her, and this time, I thought I had heard her wrong.
Could it be that I was too nervous because of Yingzheng's attitude, and I began to have auditory hallucinations?
Luo Cong's words were out, and he immediately stopped hesitating. The decisive truth of her words confirmed my uncertainty.
"The slave maid said that if the lady wants to return to the Qi country, the slave and maid will explain it to the prime minister in the letter."
I looked at Luo Cong in more and more amazement: I'm back in Qi country?
If I want to leave the Qin State and return to the Qi State. Lin Jixiang has to go through all kinds of twists and turns, try bacteria and take risks to mediate with Yingzheng, right?
Don't say that I don't have that idea now, even if I was eager to return to the warm Lin Jixiang when I first came to the Qin Kingdom, I would give up this idea because I might have to sacrifice thousands of people alone!
What's more, my heart has sunk into the world of Yingzheng!
What's more, Lin Jixiang is shouldering the lives of the people of the entire Qi country!
Looking at Luo Onion's still firm face, I knew that what she said was not a whim, and there must be some basis.
"I am already the princess of the Qin State, and I can't say these words anymore." I commanded Luo Onion with a straight face, my mind flashed, and I hurriedly asked: "Xiangjue asked you to ask these words?" How do you mention my life in the Qin Palace? β
Could it be that Luo Onion told me the truth about my here. Lin Jixiang thinks I'm not doing well and deliberately wants to get me out?
Luo Cong saw that I was strict, and his face was also straightened.
"The slave maid said according to what the lady said before, 'a qiΔ safe'." She answered me honestly.
I breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good." I'm most afraid that I'll be impulsive because of me, Ying Zheng and Lin Jixiang.
On the planet Earth, the most terrifying force is the human heart, and the most terrible human heart is the wisdom of the most intelligent people. One has the power in the world, the other has an excellent IQ, if Yingzheng and Lin Jixiang are on the bar, then what a terrible hell on earth this world has to become!
Luo Cong's secret letter had not been sent for two days, and when Lin Jixiang definitely didn't read it, a wave of rumors that blew up and down the Qin State like a whirlwind attracted the attention of everyone in the inner palace again: Chu Guoding was in the hands of Yan Wang Ji Xi!
"Chu Guoding? Didn't Wang Jian get it when Shouchun City was broken? I looked at Luo Cong, who came back as soon as I got the news, and asked: "When Wang Jian returned to Xianyang City to resume his life, he didn't get the Guoding of Chu State?" β
Luo Cong held the secret letter from Lin Jixiang that he received at this time, shook it at me, quietly put it in his clothes, and explained to me what Lin Jixiang said.
"When you asked Xiangjue to investigate the rumors in the other court, Xiangjue had already expected that the King of Qin would waver to you, and then the Kingdom of Qi would also be targeted by the King of Qin.
When Xiangjue sent people to investigate the source of the rumors in the other courtyard, he ordered the detailed works in various parts of the Qin State to make up a statement in advance and stand by, and after the person sent by the King of Qin to Zibo to inquire about the affairs of the other courtyard left, he spread the situation and released the word, saying that the state of Chu was in the Yan country, so as to attract the attention of the king of Qin to the Yan country and Mrs. Jean. β
It turned out that Lin Jixiang had known that I was going to suffer this catastrophe!
"But, didn't the king of Chu really get it?"
What worries me is that if the state of Chu Guoding is already in the hands of Ying Zheng, then Lin Jixiang's risk of spreading rumors will definitely be strictly investigated, and even if Lin Jixiang can't be found out, those who live in various parts of the Qin State will also suffer a catastrophe, and it is Ying Zheng and the people who suffer.
When Qin, Qi and other countries were vassal states, the son of heaven who ordered the princes to hold the nine tripods cast during the Yu period in order to be proud of the seven countries and dominate the world, Jiuding is a symbol of the power of the overlord, so Yingzheng is also holding the national tripods of various countries before justifiably crusading against the rest of the vassal states.
Among the nine tripods, Lin Jixiang once said that eight tripods are in the hands of Yingzheng, and only the national tripod of Chu has not been accounted for for a long time, which is also a heart disease of Yingzheng.
Now that Yingzheng has finally taken the state of Chu, he can gather Jiuding and face the world's spirits with confidence, but if the state of Chu is really not in the state of Chu as predicted by Prime Minister Lin...
"Xiangjue's people came to a secret letter saying that the king of Qin did not get it, and in order not to be questioned in the name of the crusade, after conquering the state of Chu, the state of Qin could not publicize this matter widely, so the king of Qin had to secretly let Wang Jian search." Luo Onion replied to me.
When Yingzheng conquered the world, he was known as the honor of Jiuding, and the fact that he did not have the Guoding of Chu in his hands was a secret, and the matter of Chu without Guoding was a state secret of Chu, but these unknown things could be known by Lin Jixiang - Chu Guoding was in the hands of Lin Jixiang?
I was terrified!
Seeing that my face was pale, Luo Liang thought I was afraid, and hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort my heart.
"Xiangjue not only secretly revealed the message in various parts of the Qin State, but also let the general of the Qin State who was bought by his uncle add fuel to the fire, and personally said that the Chu State Guoding had already spread a private message that was collected by Yan Wangxi, so the inside and the outside should be combined, I am afraid that the King of Qin will also be a little suspicious."
I understand that this is Lin Jixiang's method to relieve my pressure and solve my difficulties, but what I can't believe is that he actually holds the Chu State Ding, and Lin Jixiang actually has such a treasure as the Chu State Ding...
How many amazing secrets this man has hidden in his heart under his elegant exterior.
Lin Jixiang is an unpredictable prophet, and when I really gave up all my mission, he preemptively rescued me Yu Yingzheng's suspicions, and the Tian Tianyu he trained also reminded me to get close to Mrs. Mi early - slow, close to Mrs. Mi?
Mrs. Mi is the king of Chu, she must know something about the fact that the state of Chu is not in the state of Chu, and Ying Zheng has obtained rumors about the state of Chu, and she must confirm the fact that there is no state in the past...
This is really Lin Jixiang's complete strategy to do things without leakage and to cooperate with the inside and outside, right?!
Sure enough, as I expected, in order to repay my help during the Gongzi Gaoqing banquet, Mrs. Mi took the initiative to find Yingzheng after the rumors spread, to the effect that she had talked to the relatives of the Chu State who came to Qin as prisoners, and Yan Wang Jixi did want to threaten them with the matter of Guoding and ask them to cede the land to complement each other!
When she "inadvertently" saw me and "inadvertently" revealed these words to me, the most intuitive worry in my heart was whether Yingzheng would believe such a logical and opportune rumor that Yingzheng was so thoughtful.
Because of my weak heart, I feel guilty about Yingzheng in everything I do, and I am not comfortable with what I do.
Ying Zheng didn't say a word to me when he stepped into Qixi Palace, nor did he look at me who was standing beside him after Shi Yi, he just leisurely sipping tea, and put down the teacup after a cup of hot tea was drunk.
Attention shifted from the teacup, but it didn't seem to shift to me, Ying Zheng looked directly at the picture of the lady depicted on the wall.
I stood with me so nervously and quietly, and I didn't dare to relax for a moment.
"Did you hear the rumors?"
He suddenly spoke, not loudly, and not at me.
Ying Zheng spoke, and I suddenly felt that the air was soothing, but I didn't know where his words came from, I didn't dare to take it hard, but I didn't dare to be silent.
"Your handβ" I whispered, softer.
Ying Zheng's left hand was thinly bandaged with several layers of white cloth, and I think he must have been unwilling to bandage it, so he barely bandaged it under the pleading of Zhao Gao or other concubines.
