Chapter 46: Qin Chuhan

In the Pengcheng of Kyoto in the Chu State, the downtown area of Jinling Street, which is lined up one after another, overnight, set up a ten-mile long shed, which is the favorite concubine of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, Yu Ji, in order to show the virtue of the king's love for the people and the holy Mu, the power of the sky, and also set up a soup kitchen shed for his own wishes.

When the news of the soup kitchen spread, the poor people of the whole city came one after another, most of whom were actually displaced by the Qin and Han conflicts. Ten miles of porridge shed, less than half a stick of incense, was surrounded by water, overcrowded.

Yu Ji was in a corner, on a high platform built just for her, surrounded by slaves and guards to prevent the crowd from crushing her. While eating porridge with gratifying faces, people whispered about Yu Ji's beauty and kindness.

Yu Ji, who had been begging for food when she was a child, looked at the warm picture in front of her, and her eyes were filled with endless relief. Suddenly, her eyes froze in one place, and the expression on her face unconsciously retracted. Along the corner as far as the eye could see, a familiar face met Yu Ji's eyes, father-in-law.

Zhang Liang saw that the righteous daughter he raised had been with Xiang Yu for more than half a year, and he never poisoned Xiang Yu to death according to his instructions. There is nowhere to vent his anger in his heart, and there is uncontrollable anxiety, in order to live up to his mission, he also made a military order in front of the king.

For this reason, he deliberately disguised himself, pretended to be a homeless person, and mingled among the people. When he came to Pengcheng, he tried to find a way to get close to Yu Ji, and happened to hear that she was giving porridge today, so he also rushed over.

When he searched for the place where Yu Ji was, he did not approach recklessly, but moved forward with the refugee procession. When the distance between him and Yu Ji was close enough, he took off the rag felt hat on his head.

Sure enough, when Yu Ji made eye contact with him, she recognized him at a glance.

After a short period of consternation, Yu Ji was also suddenly relieved, she knew the purpose of her father-in-law's visit this time. Since you have already encountered it here, there is no way to avoid it.

So, she quietly sent a guard to take him to the Accord in a restaurant, and then she also arrived.

Walking into the Accord, Yu Ji sent out the maidservants and guards, and closed the door.

"Father-in-law, I have been in good health for half a year, and you and your mother have always been healthy?" Yu Ji said with deep concern and deep concern.

I only heard a crisp slap, which fell Yu Ji's white skin and delicate face. A red slap print appeared on her cheek in an instant, and Yu Ji choked back tears, knelt on the ground, and sobbed softly.

"Son, you still know that I am my father-in-law, in the past, you begged for a living and lived everywhere, but I adopted you as a righteous daughter and raised you. Now for the sake of my father and the righteousness of the country, and I entrust you with a matter, but you are reluctant to do it, do you still have my father in your eyes? Before I came, I had already made a military order in front of the King of Han, if Xiang Yu was not removed, your mother and I would be killed, can you bear it? ! Zhang Liang said angrily.

"The daughter doesn't dare, the kindness of the father-in-law and the mother, the daughter is always in her heart. It's just that Xiang Yu loves the people so much that benevolence and righteousness spread to the public, so that his daughter can't bear to kill him. Yu Ji pear blossom said like rain.

"Is it his deep love for the people, or his deep love for you, which makes you forget your identity, and makes you sacrifice your father's life, but also obsessed to the end!" Zhang Liang said with a roar.

"How dare my daughter, my father-in-law has the grace of rebirth for me, and even if my daughter dies, she will not dare to disobey her father's order." Yu Ji said sadly.

"In this case, within three days, I will take Xiang Yu's life, otherwise I will kill myself on the streets of Jinling." Zhang Liang threw down this sentence and turned to leave.

Yu Ji fell helplessly and weakly to the ground, as if her soul had been drained.

She knew that this day would come sooner or later, but when it really came, she was so helpless and miserable.

She couldn't understand why God would treat her so cruelly. Since her fate could not be changed, she had no choice but to make her final decision.

After returning to the Chu Palace, Yu Ji washed and changed her clothes, so that Xiang Yu couldn't see that she had shed tears. She also cooked by herself and made a table of Xiang Yu's favorite dishes.

"Today's soup kitchen, Concubine Ai should be very tired, why do you have to cook by yourself, how can you bear it." As he spoke, Xiang Yu poured a glass of wine for Yu Ji.

The two of them toasted and drank together.

"The concubine is on behalf of the people, thank you for the king's kindness. Regardless of today's only one fast, he will be the royal kitchen for the prince every day, and the concubine is also willing. Yu Ji snuggled in Xiang Yu's arms, a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Since Concubine Ai is so righteous, from now on this day of every month, Lone will open the long shed and give porridge for the people, how about it?" Xiang Yu looked at Yu Ji, who was slightly drunk, and said with pity.

"Then the concubine will take the people's behalf and give you another cup." Yu Ji said judo.

The fragrance of ambergris filled the palace, but the ochre-colored palace veil could not hide the gentle cosmos.

"I almost forgot, the concubine also cooked high-quality ginseng white fungus soup for the king, the king waited for a while, and the concubine personally brought it for the king." After Yu Ji finished speaking, she got up and came to the side hall, filled a bowl of soup, and then quietly put the poison prepared in advance into it and stirred it well.

Yu Ji gracefully brought the soup to Xiang Yu, and then sat nervously to the side, watching Xiang Yu's actions.

But when Xiang Yu picked up the soup and was about to drink it, Yu Ji suddenly grabbed it and drank it violently.

"Hehe, concubine, you want to drink, you say, so naughty." Xiang Yu looked at Yu Ji gently.

As soon as Xiang Yu finished speaking, he saw Yu Ji lying on the ground, holding her stomach, curled up in a ball, and moaning incessantly.

Xiang Yu hurriedly picked her up, his face full of sadness.

"Concubine Ai, what's the matter, is it ...... in the soup" Xiang Yu didn't continue, still looking at Yu Ji lovingly.

"King, I poisoned this soup, you are a monarch who loves the people so much, and you are so good to me, I still can't bear it!" The corners of Yu Ji's mouth began to soak blood, and she told the truth with difficulty.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Yu Ji's head slowly tilting down.

"Don't, concubine, don't leave me alone, why is this? Why? Xiang Yu cried hoarsely, his arms clasped around her tightly, tears dripping down her pale face.

In the huge palace, Xiang Yu's sorrow echoed in every corner where there was laughter......
