Palace of the King of Qin.

Qin Wangzhu's mood was very restless, which was not a secret to everyone in King Qin's palace.

Emotions are contagious, especially in this hierarchical world, and the master's emotions can affect all servants as quickly as possible.

Therefore, these days, all the subordinates in the palace of King Qin are trembling and walking on thin ice, for fear of being punished for doing something wrong.

Often, punishment means death.

But the more fearful you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

A female officer walked into the palace with a tray in her hand.

On top of the tray was a medicinal soup.

"King, it's time to take your medicine."

Qin Wangzhu, who was still burying his head in the recital, snorted and waved his hand: "Let's let it go first." ”

The female officer looked a little hesitant, and after a pause, she said cautiously: "The king, but the queen has instructed that this medicine must be given to the king immediately after it is successfully boiled." ”

As soon as the female official's voice fell, Qin Wangzhu suddenly raised his head, and he walked in front of the female official.

"Smack!"

The sound of a crisp slap.

Qin Wangzhu's eyes fixed on the female official with swollen cheeks in front of him, his eyes were red, looking like a vicious wolf who chose people to devour, and sneered: "You are just a slave, and you dare to say irresponsible things to the widow standing in front of the widow?" ”

The female official lowered her head, endured the severe pain and said in great fear: "The slave and maid are at fault, please forgive the king." ”

"Forgiveness?" Qin Wangzhu laughed, and the cold light in his eyes was even stronger: "If the widow does not forgive your sins, what can you do?" ”

"Bang, bang!"

There were several loud slaps, and the female officer stood there and didn't dare to move, and took all the slaps stiffly.

After a slap, the originally pretty cheeks are now high and swollen, and they look like a pig's head, extremely ugly.

The tray in the female officer's hand swayed from side to side, and a lot of liquid medicine overflowed from the ding, making the tray drenched.

Qin Wangzhu slapped the female official several times before he was angry, and shouted: "Get out, get out of the widow!" ”

The female officer didn't dare to say more, and walked out tremblingly holding the tray.

The reason why he didn't kill her was just because she was the queen's personal officer.

But that's all, if Qin Wangzhu is stimulated again, his life will definitely not be guaranteed.

The female officer left in a hurry, her heart full of resentment.

If there is anyone in this palace who knows the real reason for Qin Wangzhu's bad temper, it is naturally this female official.

As the number one confidant by the queen's side, the female official has served the queen since she was a child, and she has won the queen's trust.

It is precisely because of this that whether it was the nourishing soup at the beginning or the medicinal soup later, it was all boiled in the queen's palace, and then the female official was offered to Qin Wangzhu.

That's why this female official was able to have the opportunity to put Lü Buwei's strange medicinal powders that smelled a little dizzy into the soup and watched Qin Wangzhu drink it with her own eyes.

The people of the entire Qin State thought that the reason why Qin Wangzhu's health was deteriorating day by day was mainly due to the excessive sadness of the death of the first king, the incomparably powerful external enemy, and the overbusy domestic government affairs, but they did not know that the real reason was actually in the bowl of soup with great good intentions.

According to Lü Buwei's statement to the female official in advance, although those medicinal powders would slowly damage Qin Wangzhu's body and make Qin Wangzhu's temper more irritable, they would not immediately take Qin Wangzhu's life, but would only lurk a large amount of toxins in Qin Wangzhu's body.

At this time, Qin Wangzhu was actually very dangerous, just a little medicine, all the toxins in his body would explode instantly, completely cutting off all Qin Wangzhu's vitality.

Tonight, the medicinal soup in the hands of the female officer is the "medicine introduction".

If the female official may have had a little hesitation and guilt about whether to poison Qin Wangzhu before, then now this last insignificant regret has all disappeared.

There is nothing more terrifying for a woman than losing her face.

After feeling the hot, pervasive pain on her entire cheek, the female officer's heart was filled with incomparable resentment and rage.

No one wanted Qin Wangzhu to die right away more than her.

But what made the female official's heart feel extremely sorry was that since Qin Wangzhu had already let himself take this medicinal soup away, it was obviously impossible to succeed tonight.

As soon as she thought of this, the slender fingers of the female officer couldn't help but clench the plate, and the joints were a little bulging.

That's it, there's tomorrow, just wait until tomorrow, and this damned tyrant won't escape the poison.

The female official with bitter hatred hung her head without saying a word, and silently walked towards the outside of the palace.

Just as she was about to walk out of the palace, a voice familiar to her suddenly sounded.

"What's going on so badly?"

After hearing this voice, the female officer's body shook violently, and tears appeared in her eyes almost immediately.

The king came later.

The female official lowered her head and said with a little choked up: "The slave and maid do not serve the king well, please punish the queen." ”

A gust of fragrant wind penetrated the female officer's nose, and a well-maintained slender jade finger lifted the cheek, which had become a pig's head, and then a soft sigh followed.

"Did something wrong?" The queen asked gently to the henchwoman in front of her, without any intention of punishment.

The female official bowed her head and said, "Yes, please punish the queen." ”

The queen shook her head and said, "I know that the king has been in a bad temper lately, and I know that you have always been cautious." The chastises will be enough, but you will stand here and wait. ”

Saying that, the queen took the end plate from the female official's hand, and after trying it, she found that the medicinal soup was still warm, so she personally took the medicinal soup and slowly walked into the main hall.

The female official glanced deeply at the queen who was leaving, and her gratitude was overflowing.

However, when she lowered her head, a deep resentment flashed across her face, and when combined with her hideous face, which had completely swollen into a pig's head, it looked quite terrifying.

The queen walked into the palace with the medicinal soup, and found that Qin Wangzhu was still holding a piece of music and frowned, so she gently put the medicinal soup aside, walked to Qin Wangzhu's back, and stretched out her hand to massage his shoulder.

Qin Wangzhu raised his head at this time, and the anger on his face that was about to erupt quickly subsided after seeing the queen's face, and his voice changed from Fang Cai's fierce words to extremely gentle: "Why is the queen here?" ”
