Chapter 174: Assassination
There is only a small copper lamp in the study, which can illuminate the copper case in front of Li Si. Looking at Jing Yun who was kneeling on one knee in front of the bronze case, there was a slight hesitation in Li Si's eyes.
Li Si knew very well that once Jing Yun walked out of his study today, it would mean that he had completely embarked on a road of no return.
The rising position and expanding power made Li Si deeply feel the choice faced by his old benefactor LΓΌ Buwei at the beginning. At the same time, he can also better understand Lu Buwei's state of mind when he was under one person and above 10,000 people.
Power, greater power, has always been the most addictive thing.
"You, go ahead!"
After a long time, Li Si finally slowly closed his eyelids and said tiredly.
Jing Yun, who had been quietly and motionless on one knee, heard Li Si's words, his majestic body couldn't help but be shocked, and then he silently bowed to Li Si and flashed out.
In today's Great Qin Dynasty, if you know the most about Li Si, it is Jing Yun.
Since he and his subordinates were rescued from the execution ground by Li Si ten years ago, he has been following Li Si to walk in the darkness for Li Si. In the past ten years, all the rangers and robbers under his command have started families and lived a life of fine clothes and food, and only Jing Yun is still alone until now.
It's not that he doesn't want to find a woman to start a family, it's just that he knows his identity very well, he knows how much blood his hands are stained with, and he knows very well that he is just a knife in Li Si's hand.
Therefore, he did not dare to start a family.
However, Jing Yun's loyalty to Li Si is beyond doubt. Because Li Si saved not only him, but also his two younger sisters. Although now neither of these two sisters know that he is still alive in this world.
Jing Yun was well aware of the significance of the decision Li Si made today.
As Jing Yun retreated silently, Li Si was once again left alone in the study. Li Si opened his eyes and glanced at the door of the study that had been silently closed, and said, "The queen is still in the Ganquan Palace and has not returned to Xianyang?" β
From the corner of the study, a figure covered in a black cloak flashed, bowed to Li Si and said, "The queen mother is indeed still in the Ganquan Palace and has not returned to Xianyang. β
"What about the investigation into the fact that Your Majesty did not have sex with Envy?" Li Si asked with a frown when he heard the black shadow's words.
"Back to the Prime Minister, the number 10 has been confirmed from among the officials of the clan who recorded His Majesty's affairs. On the wedding night, His Majesty left from the queen's new house, and Zhao Gao didn't know where he went, and he didn't return that night. β
"Your Majesty hasn't been alone with your jealousy since?" Li Si frowned deeper and asked.
After that, the first emperor returned to heaven, and His Majesty ascended the throne, until His Majesty toured the east, he lingered in the Afang Palace, and rarely stayed in the palace of Concubine Li at night. And the queen didn't seem to have a good impression of His Majesty, so she ......" The black shadow didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning was already very clear. After all, Li Yan is not only the queen now, but also the most favored daughter of his master Li Si. It is obviously inappropriate to talk about Li Yan's sexual affairs in front of Li Si.
"Someone will closely observe Xianyang Palace tonight, especially Concubine Li's bedroom. Something is reported directly to the old man. Li Si already knew the answer he wanted, and ordered lightly.
"Whoa!" The black shadow bowed to Li Si, and then disappeared into the corner again.
Li Si's face was unusually ugly. Although he always knew that his daughter's relationship with the emperor was very weak, or even very poor, he didn't expect that it had been nearly two years since the two were newly married, and they had not even had sex with the emperor.
Originally, he thought that the emperor was overindulgent and his body was not good, so Li Yan has not conceived an heir until now. It's just that I didn't expect that the two of them hadn't had sex at all, and Li Yan is still in perfect shape now, which makes Li Si how can he not be angry.
If Li Yan can't be the first to conceive the emperor's bloodline and give birth to an heir. This time, he has risked the world's condemnation and done a great rebellion. Could it be that it will develop to the point of restricting which woman the emperor has sex with? I don't have that ability.
What's more, this time the emperor went north and brought back a woman who captivated the country and the city. If his daughter can no longer improve relations with His Majesty, will she continue to do the same things as she is now?
Since Li Yan entered the palace, except for Li Yan returning to visit him, Li Si basically rarely paid attention to Li Yan's situation. It's really because the First Emperor has too much power to distribute and master, and Li Si regrets it at the moment.
Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't sit still any longer: "Come on, prepare the car, the old man is going to meet the queen."
"Whoa!"
β¦β¦ Xianyang Palace, Concubine Li's dormitory.
From time to time, a cool breeze blows from the doors and windows of the wide-open dormitory, and the huge bronze oil lamps in the wind sway, and from time to time there are a few crisp sounds, and the pink curtains and pink bed nets sway with the wind.
I don't know when, Hu Hai, who was clinging to Concubine Li's still flat lower abdomen and said that he wanted to listen to the child's voice, had fallen asleep.
On the way back to Xianyang, since Chengwu, Hu Hai has not slept well. And from the 23rd to Xianyang, in the morning, before dawn, I rushed out of the camp to Liangshan to participate in the ceremony, and then I was drenched in the rain, and there was no time to rest.
Since returning to Xianyang in early April, it has been nearly four months since I had sex with Concubine Li for the first time. Even if there are no annoying palace maids who have to appear with bamboo slips to record their intercourse experience, date and time every time they want to make love with Concubine Li, Hu Hai also knows that the little life that is being conceived in Concubine Li's belly at this moment is definitely his own.
If it was his predecessor's, I am afraid that after more than 20 expeditions by himself, Concubine Li would have had a miscarriage a long time ago, even if there was no miscarriage, Concubine Li should be bloated at this moment.
After the comfort was completed, the ecstatic Hu Hai wanted to summon the imperial doctor into the palace to diagnose Concubine Li and regulate her body by the way. After all, in order to let Hu Hai be the first to know, Concubine Li, with the help of Lu Zhu, who knew the situation, concealed it from the imperial doctors and the people in the clan who routinely checked their bodies every month.
Concubine Li politely dissuaded the excited Hu Hai, and it was naturally impossible to say that Hu Hai was not moved by Hu Hai's pity for herself. Therefore, she just wanted to hug Hu Hai quietly at the moment, and didn't want anyone to disturb her.
Hu Hai thought about it, but he didn't insist. After all, it's only one night, and tomorrow morning, the flat fish that is still in the camp will be summoned to Xianyang to diagnose Concubine Li.
Looking at the emperor who was still rubbing his face against him from time to time while he was asleep, Concubine Li's heart rippled with warmth and pity. At this moment, he finally doesn't have to deal with too many political affairs as before, and he comes and goes in a hurry.
Looking at Concubine Li, I couldn't help but be stupid!
Perhaps because of the heavy rain, the scorching heat in various parts of Guanzhong has dissipated a lot. The night was getting deeper, and looking at the sleeping Hu Hai beside her, Concubine Li finally felt a wave of tiredness welling up, and slowly closed her eyes.
Between the flickering lights and shadows, a figure dressed in eunuch clothes slowly flashed in silently outside the palace gate, and appeared on the edge of the brocade couch along the blind corner of the oil lamp.
Through the pink gauze tent, the emperor in a small dress and Concubine Li, who was only wearing a pink belly pocket and a sweet smile on her face, were lying tightly in each other's arms, sleeping.
This is a young eunuch who even has a few red pimples on his face.
He received today's task more than 20 days ago, and he was ready to die.
Looking at the sleeping emperor, his young face was filled with hatred that should not belong to his age.
The veil was lifted silently.
Looking at Concubine Li, who was as delicate as a flower, his obsessive eyes lingered on Concubine Li's face, without the slightest **. Since he was arranged into Concubine Li's bedroom, he gets along day and night every day, I don't know when, his young heart is already full of this woman who feels blasphemous even if he gives birth to the slightest ** he wants to get close to.
She's so beautiful.
For two years.
Every day, standing in front of the door of the dormitory, his greatest wish is to see her, looking forward to the smiling face she gave himself when he saw her. Innocent and beautiful. He knew that from today onwards, he would never see this beautiful woman again.
A faint concern in the heavy snow in winter, and a bowl of refreshing ice water in the summer and the scorching heat made him excited for a long time.
After this day, he will never see her again!
A shiny dagger appeared in his hand, shimmering dreamily through the light of the pink gauze tent.
"Who!"
Outside the dormitory, Long Xuan's big drink suddenly came! Immediately afterwards, a large number of dragon guards who were originally guarding dozens of steps away from the dormitory scattered and chased after a black shadow that suddenly appeared, while the remaining dozen or so dragon guards came towards the dormitory.
This loud shout suddenly made the young eunuch who was holding a dagger and looking at Concubine Li's face greedily. The eyes full of hatred were facing the beautiful eyes of endless fear at the moment they opened because of Long Xuan's drinking.
Before he had time to take one last look at the goddess in his heart, the dagger in the young eunuch's hand stabbed down on the sleeping Hu Hai's chest with a dreamy pink light.
"Don't! Your Majesty! β
Concubine Li's beautiful eyes widened as she watched the dagger stab the emperor beside her in the chest, and exclaimed in surprise, with endless fear hidden in the scream.
Before Hu Hai could open his eyes, his head and face were completely covered by two huge towering masses. The young eunuch didn't seem to expect Concubine Li to be like this, and when he saw Concubine Li pounced on Hu Hai, the dagger that fell couldn't help but deflect.
Then a sharp blade cut through the muscles, and the sound of tearing clearly reached his ears. The several-inch-long dagger easily sank into Concubine Li's back.
"Ahh
With Concubine Li's screams, viscous blood dripped down the towering head and face on Hu Hai's face.
"No!"
The young eunuch looked at Concubine Li, who was submerged in the dagger and fell softly on the emperor who was supposed to die, and shouted in horror!
"Bang!"
Hu Hai flew up with Concubine Li and kicked the young eunuch out.
"Click!"
The pink screen in the inner chamber of the dormitory was smashed to the ground by the young eunuch who flew upside down.
