Chapter 102: Murder in the Palace

Zhao Ji thought that she had promised to save the two children, and looked at Qin Qing's eyes with a glint of hope. 【Fengyun Reading Network. Qin Qing was a little weak-hearted, and didn't dare to look directly at her, his gaze just crossed her and looked behind her, and said slowly: "Qin Qing just wants to tell the Queen Mother that even if he can rescue the two children, he can't let them return to the Queen Mother's side." ”

"What is the young lady talking about? Zhao Ji didn't understand very well. Zhao Ji muttered, her face a little pale, unable to believe what she had just heard. After Qin Qing repeated it again, she finally realized that she was not in a dream, and she asked loudly unwillingly, "Why!" I am the mother of the children's books, why can't the children's books come back to me

Seeing that Zhao Ji was almost in a state of madness, Qin Qing said coldly: "Because the two of them are not just your children's books, but also children's books!" ”

"So what! Now dead, are you still afraid that the two children will do something to rebel! Zhao Ji's gaze was cold, and she didn't hide the resentment in her heart at all.

"Although the two of them are just babies now, no one guarantees what kind of identity they will be in twenty years, Qin Qing doesn't want two teenagers to avenge their father in twenty years." Although she can't bear to stimulate Zhao Ji again, she is the mother of the child after all, and she has the right to know the truth. Deliberately ignoring the resentment, Qin Jing said to her sincerely: "But Empress Dowager Zhao can rest assured that Qin Qing will send the two children's books to ordinary people's homes and let them grow up safely." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Ji left the study in despair. Lived in the royal palace for so many years. In fact, I knew very well that the courtiers would not let go of the two children easily, but as a mother, she still had a trace of fantasy in her heart. Hopefully, a miracle will happen and the child book will be returned to her safely. He pinned his hopes on Qin Qing's body, and now Qin Qing suddenly spoke, shattering her last glimmer of hope, Zhao Ji felt as if she had suddenly lost the direction of her life.

Seeing that Zhao Ji's distant back looked so weak, Qin Qing couldn't help but ask himself, was what he just said too much? It may be excessive, but I always think. It would be better for her to see reality sooner.

Although Zhao Ji is Yingzheng's biological mother and the Empress Dowager Zhao of Qin, she who participated in the rebellion cannot enjoy her original power anymore. After Yingzheng decides where to go for the two children, he will announce the imperial decree to punish Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji will be just a commoner at that time. In this troubled world, it is difficult for a single woman to make a living with a child's book, not to mention Zhao Ji or the eldest lady who has been pampered since childhood, she doesn't even have the ability to protect herself, how can she take care of a child's book? Maybe she can go back to Zhao to seek refuge with her father Zhao Cheng. But Qin Qing didn't think that Zhao Cheng, who was powerful, would give any shelter to this daughter who had no use value.

Every year in winter, he always feels that the cold wind is biting, Qin Qing walked on the bluestone path of the palace, wrapped himself in fox fur, and tried to wrap himself tightly, and did not let the wind penetrate at all. I just went to find Yingzheng and saw him discussing political affairs with the courtiers in the study, so he retired very familiarly. Now he was extremely bored, so he took Zhao Gao to read two children's books.

The controversy on the bar has not stopped. The main reason is that Ying Zheng has not yet expressed his position, and Qin Qing knows that he must have his own plans. Since he had promised not to hurt the two children, in order to show her trust in him, she had been holding back and not asking. Only every time I enter the palace, I look at the two children's books.

The two children's books were very pleasing to Qin Qing, because every time she went, she would see children's books smiling at her with innocent eyes, which made her feel a sense of peace in her heart. It's only been a few days, and I have feelings for the two children, thinking that it will not be long before I will send them away, and I am still a little reluctant in my heart. Of course, she will not be swayed by her feelings, after all, the two children can only grow up happily after they are sent out of the palace. That's what she wants to see the most.

Because the identity of the two children's books is special. Ying Zheng arranged them in a palace in the corner of the palace. Walking into the remote palace, Qin Qing suddenly found that it was a little unusually calm here today. It's early in the morning. The children should have drunk a long time ago, and at this time of the day, when the palace was at its most lively, you could hear the cry of babies coming from the palace in the distance, and sometimes you could hear the nurse singing nursery rhymes to coax them.

But today, when they all walked to the gate of the palace, they still couldn't hear a trace of movement from inside. There were no cries, no nursery rhymes, and not even the cleaning attendants and palace maids had ever seen one. In her heart, she began to feel faintly uneasy, and hurriedly pulled out her legs and ran towards the room where the child lived in the book.

Standing at the door, Qin Qing held on to the door frame hard to keep herself from falling, and everything in front of her shocked her! Perhaps the shock alone was not enough to indicate the extent of her surprise, but her mind was now blank, and she really didn't know what to say to express her surprise and anger. Zhao Gao followed behind her, ran into the room and saw the scene inside, and after an exclamation, he immediately went to report to Yingzheng.

After a long time, Qin Qing had the strength to walk into the room, looking at the three corpses in front of him, he felt a sour feeling in his heart, and his eyes flowed. Who is it! Who the hell is it! He had the audacity to sneak into the palace and kill people! And it was two babies who had just been full moon that were killed, how could he do it, but there was still a little bit of humanity?!

The blood on the floor of the room had dried up and turned dark red, and the nurse was lying on the side of the bed with a baby in her arms, and the other baby was lying quietly on the bed. The nurse was struck several times, holding the baby in her arms tightly, and the frightened expression when she was killed still hung on her face. Although there was no horror in the eyes of the two babies, there was no longer a smile on their faces, and Qin Qing looked at their corpses, and his heart tingled.

It's not that she hasn't seen corpses, when she just crossed over, she had faced twenty or thirty corpses alone, but at that time she had no feelings for those people, and although she was shocked, she was not too afraid. It's different now, what is upside down here is that two days ago, she was still smiling at her, looking at the once vivid life, now falling to the ground lifelessly, her heart can no longer be calm.

Just a few days ago, she swore to tell Zhao Ji that she was going to take the two children's books out and give them away, but now she saw the body of the children's books, how could she tell Zhao Ji the news?! The mother, who has been in her house and is full of hope for the safety of her children, how can she bear it after getting the news.

Who is it? Who's the killer? It certainly won't be Yingzheng. Although it is said in history that Ying Zheng killed two half-brothers with her own hands, she has been preventing this from happening, and her intuition tells her that he did not do it. But he once said that no one dared to kill people in the Xianyang Palace, so what does everything in front of him now represent?

"Who did it?" Ying Zheng received news from Zhao Gao, and hurriedly left the ministers who were discussing with him and hurried here. When I saw the situation in the house, I immediately felt angry in my heart.

Seeing Ying Zheng, Qin Qing's anger transferred to him: "Didn't you say that no one would go to the palace to commit murder?" And now what are these! She knew that she shouldn't be angry with Yingzheng, because he didn't kill people, but if she didn't find someone to vent, she felt that she would collapse.

In the face of Qin Qing's accusations, Ying Zheng was silent. It was he who was careless, he thought that the palace would be safe, but he didn't expect that someone would be so bold.

"Zhao Gao! Immediately send someone to bury the body, and then go to the chamberlain and maid who are on duty here to meet the widow. Ying Zheng didn't want Qin Qing to continue watching this tragedy, so he took her hand and walked towards his bedroom.

The two children's books are the books of traitors, and there are not many people sent to take care of them, and not long after Ying Zheng returned to the palace, Zhao Gao led the attendants on duty to meet him. Facing the waiter who knelt on the ground, Ying Zheng's eyes were full of gloomy gaze: "The two children and the nurse were killed, do you know?" ”

The chamberlain trembled, and didn't dare to raise his head, but replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the villain has just learned." ”

"Just learned?" Ying Zheng sneered and asked sharply: "You are so bold, the widow asked you, where were you when the murder happened?" Have you ever seen anyone there? ”

"Tell Your Majesty, Lu Xiangguo came with two people early this morning, and gave the villain some reward. The villain had itchy hands for a while, so he went to gamble a few handfuls, and then I didn't know what happened. The chamberlain did not dare to hide that he had left his post without permission, and said it truthfully.

It turned out to be Lü Buwei! When Qin Qing heard this name, she felt a burst of chagrin in her heart, she was so careless that she forgot that Lu Buwei still had her own forces in the palace. In the past few years, he has been keeping to himself, which made her paralyzed and forgot the cause of death of King Xiaowen and Yingshuchu. Lü Buwei even dared to murder the emperor, let alone two children's books. It's just that I don't know why he killed two children who have nothing to do with each other?

"When I went to gamble on duty, it seems that the widow's palace is really idle!" Ying Zheng said coldly: "Come on, drag him down, and take forty boards!" "I watched as the chamberlain was dragged down, but after a while, there were screams outside.

Although Qin Qing has never been subjected to board books, he has heard others mention that being exposed to board books is not as easy as what he sees on TV. Those things that beat people dozens of boards at every turn, and then jumped around within a few days of being beaten, are all made up on TV to deceive people. The punishment of forty boards can completely kill a person. Ying Zheng's order is similar to dragging people out and beheading them. The guilt of the inner servant does not lead to death, but she knows that Ying Zheng is also holding her breath in her heart, and like she just now, she needs to find an outlet for catharsis.

"This matter is related to Lu Xiangguo, what does Zheng'er want to do?" Qin Qing asked coldly.
