Chapter Forty-Nine: Did Your Majesty Remember His Promise to His Concubines?
"Slut, why did you stab me?"
Ying Zheng was furious, overturned the porcelain plate on the wooden case, and spilled it on the ground, making a ping-pong sound.
The armor warrior outside the main hall heard the loud sound of movement, and directly broke in with Changge in his hand.
"Get out of here, who let you in?"
Ying Zheng spread his hand, his expression was not good, he looked at the armor soldiers with a fierce light, and roared.
A group of armor soldiers were originally going to come in to escort them, but it seemed that they were thinking too much, but they didn't know why His Majesty was angry.
They left the Pingtian Hall one after another and closed the door of the main hall again.
Looking at the angry Yingzheng, Hu Ji was extremely aggrieved, and said with tears and rain: "Your Majesty, the concubine is unarmed, how can she assassinate?" ”
Ying Zheng looked at the shrimp spilled on the ground and felt that he had been seriously betrayed.
Could it be that he died a few years later, not from illness?
Looking at the orchid who was sitting on the ground, Ying Zheng bent down and picked up a shrimp on the ground, and sneered: "I ate a lot of sour dates before, if I eat a lot of shrimp, I will definitely die." ”
"Your Majesty, wild dates are not poisonous, shrimp are not poisonous, and the concubines dare to murder Your Majesty."
Orchid burst into tears, looking like she didn't know why.
"It is true that the two are not poisonous, but if they are eaten in large quantities and fused with each other, they will turn into deadly poisons and take people's lives."
"Until now, you still want to deceive me?"
"Pretend to be pitiful, who will show it?"
Ying Zheng pointed at Hu Ji and said angrily.
Sure enough, when Hu Ji heard this, her face changed, and her whole person instantly became decadent, and the whole person seemed to be a lot more relaxed.
"I didn't expect Your Majesty to be proficient in pharmacology and poison scriptures, the will of heaven is like this, and the concubine has nothing to say."
Orchid smiled reluctantly, and said as if the sky did not fulfill people's wishes.
"Zhao Zhong."
Ying Zheng was already furious at this time, his favorite concubine was going to kill him?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... The minister is here. ”
Zhao Zhong, who was waiting outside the hall, pushed open the door of the main hall in a panic, and then trotted all the way over and bowed his hand.
"Detain this slut in Wangyi Palace, interrogate him strictly, and be sure to find out who is behind the scenes."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, and his voice revealed indescribable anger and disgust.
"Yes."
Zhao Zhong immediately assigned several chamberlains, detained Hu Ji, who had already stood up, and left the Pingtian Palace.
The door of the main hall was closed, and Ying Zheng looked at the dark hall, and there were bursts of stinging pain in his heart from time to time.
The king seems to be infinitely beautiful, but his heart is extremely lonely.
There are too many people in this world who want to die by themselves.
Even if it is a pillow person, or a close relative, it is possible to turn into a killer and take his own life.
Orchids don't know anything about pharmacology at all, and this method is ingenious, and if you don't have memories of the future, you may not be able to see through it.
Putting aside the distractions in his heart, Ying Zheng gradually regained his senses, his anger gradually extinguished, and he began to clear his mind and figure out Hu Ji's motives.
Sitting on the stone steps of the throne, Ying Zheng didn't say a word, looking at the flickering candle flame, his thoughts gradually drifted away.
About two hours later......
"Your Majesty."
The door of the main hall was pushed open again, and Zhao Zhong walked in and bowed to His Majesty sitting on the stone steps.
"Say it!"
Ying Zheng was pulled back to his thoughts and said in a deep voice.
"There are a total of eleven slaves and maids in Wangyi Palace, and they were tortured, nine of them were killed, only one of the servants confessed a useful message, and the other was a pawn arranged by His Majesty in Wangyi Palace."
"According to this attendant's confession, not long ago, Hu Ji Niangniang sent him to the Tai Hospital, and designated to find Tai Yi Wu to prescribe a prescription to alleviate the old disease."
Zhao Zhong began to speak.
"There's something wrong with the prescription."
Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Gao and cut the railroad to the point.
"Your Majesty, but the prescription has been burned by Orchid Niangniang."
Zhao Zhong's heart was heavy, for fear of causing His Majesty to be unhappy.
"Is that Imperial Doctor Wu arrested?"
Ying Zheng frowned and asked.
"When the Praetorian Guards arrived at this man's house, he had already hanged himself for many days."
Zhao Zhong was extremely worried in his heart, the clue was broken, but he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest.
"Waste ......"
Ying Zheng stood up and walked back and forth, looking distraught.
Under his nose, there are people who are so mad?
This plan has to be said to be seamless, leaving no flaws.
The only breakthrough at the moment is Orchid alone.
"Your Majesty is angry, the minister is incompetent, and the crime deserves death."
Zhao Zhong bowed his waist deeply, bowed his hands, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
"Can Orchid confess?"
Ying Zheng suppressed the anger in his heart and asked again.
"Your Majesty, the status of the orchid lady is noble, and the ministers dare not lynch themselves, so they still get nothing."
Zhao Zhong was sweating profusely, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead that were not the size of beans.
"Hmph, I'm here to ask this slut personally."
With a wave of his sleeves, Ying Zheng left the Pingtian Palace directly and moved to the Wangyi Palace.
The night of Xianyang Palace is brightly lit, and tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night.
A large number of armor soldiers surrounded the Wangyi Palace, heavily guarded and murderous.
In the main hall of Wangyi Palace, Orchid looked at the empty palace, and her mood was extremely complicated.
Those slaves and maids who have served them for more than ten years have been implicated.
She hugged her huqin, looked at the personal maid waiting on the side and said, "Maple Leaf, when did you betray the palace?" ”
"Niangniang, Maple Leaf has never betrayed Niangniang, and Maple Leaf has always served His Majesty and served the country."
The maid Maple Ye saw her master, and she ended so miserably today, and her heart was also complicated.
"Also, since entering the palace, Your Majesty has never trusted himself."
"I'm afraid no one in this world can get his trust, right?"
Orchid laughed at herself, and then began to stroke the harp.
In the night sky of Wangyi Palace, poignant and euphemistic melodies constantly echoed.
Bang dang......
The door of Wangyi Palace was kicked open directly, and Yingzheng walked in angrily.
"Meet Your Majesty."
The maid Maple Leaf hurriedly saluted and worshipped.
The strings in Orchid's hand snapped with a click.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became heavy.
Ying Zheng and Hu Ji both saw stubbornness and determination in each other's eyes, and they both had their own beliefs.
After a long time, the two of them smiled together, just like they saw for the first time fourteen years ago, smiling sweetly and brightly......
"Your Majesty, the string of the concubine is broken, and in the future, the concubine will no longer be able to sing and dance for His Majesty."
Orchid smiled and said, as sweet and warm as a first lover.
Ying Zheng's heart was like being pierced by a sharp blade, and he felt a heart-rending pain.
Of course, he understood the meaning of Orchid's words, and the love between the two for many years was like a broken string that could never be recovered.
"Why?"
Ying Zheng turned around, not wanting to see Hu Ji's appearance again, and closed his eyes slightly.
"Your Majesty, do you remember the promise you made to your concubines?"
"The country of Hu is destroyed, and the concubines do not hate Your Majesty. But the concubine's family, what is the crime of the clansmen? ”
"In the past few years, I have dreamed back at midnight, and my parents and clansmen have been insulting their concubines."
"They scolded the concubines for being incompetent, scolded the concubines for being unfaithful, and even angrily scolded the concubines for being unfilial."
"Huh! Scold! Scold! Scold! ”
As she spoke, the orchid laughed out loud and let out a series of laughs like silver bells.
The laughter was mixed with endless resentment, remorse and self-blame......
Ying Zheng's throat rolled, but he couldn't say a word, walked out of the main hall of Wangyi Palace, and then waved his hand.
Zhao Zhong immediately glanced at the four chamberlains, and the four chamberlains immediately walked into the main hall.
Two chamberlains detained Orchid with both arms, while the other two attendants unfolded the white silk in their hands and placed it on Orchid's white neck.
Orchid seemed to have expected this moment, she did not struggle, nor did she resist, but slowly closed her eyes, and a line of hot tears slowly slipped down her delicate face.
With the two attendants, they gradually tightened the white silk hard.
Hu Ji's expression gradually became painful, and the scene of entering the Qin Palace at the beginning of that year appeared in her mind, and the faces of her parents and clansmen flashed in the back of her mind one by one.
In the end, the immature face that made her the most concerned always linger and linger in her mind.
"Father...... The sons want to see their mothers. ”
At this moment, Hu Hai, who was only twelve years old, didn't know how to rush in, and while running, he cried loudly and ran towards Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng let go of his clenched fist and strode towards Hu Hai, he directly grabbed Hu Hai's little hand without saying a word.
No matter how young Hu Hai struggles, he can't get rid of Yingzheng's big hands.
In this way, Yingzheng forcibly pulled Hu Hai and left Wangyi Palace without looking back......
