Chapter 105: Battle for the Throne (3)
Qin Qing underestimated Zhao Ji's recovery ability, and thought that the pain of her bereavement would fade away for at least a week, but she didn't expect that early the next morning, when she opened the door, she saw that the sad person who was supposed to be hiding in the room was actually standing outside her door. The willow eyebrows are lightly drawn, the eyes are bright and the teeth are bright, and the cheeks are faintly red, obviously carefully groomed.
Could it be that you haven't woken up yet? Qin Qing rubbed his eyes, seeing that this was indeed Zhao Ji, but he didn't see yesterday's grief on his face, as if he had changed a person. If it weren't for those swollen eyes, she would almost have thought that what happened yesterday was just a dream of her own.
"I just heard Zixiao say that the young lady hasn't gotten up yet, Zhao Ji is about to go back, but I didn't expect the young lady to get up so quickly." Seeing that she had been in a daze since she opened the door, Zhao Ji's lips opened lightly, recalling Qin Qing's attention.
Qin Qing came back to his senses, opened his body and invited Zhao Ji into the room, asked someone to serve hot tea, and then asked, "Empress Dowager Zhao came to Qin Qing so early, is there something important?" Looking at her demeanor after learning that the child book was killed yesterday, it was clearly a true outpouring of feelings, and there was no adulteration. It's just that after one night, she changed her demeanor and pretended that nothing happened, but she didn't know that the more she covered it up, the more people would feel that she had something in her heart.
"The young lady is really a smart person, and she is quick to talk." Zhao Ji smiled lightly and generously admitted: "Since this is the case, Zhao Ji will no longer bend the book." I want to see Lu Buwei, and I have to ask the young lady to help arrange it. ”
"I can't do it!" Although I don't know Zhao Ji's purpose. But Qin Qing also omitted the politeness in the middle, and directly refused: "This time is different from the past, the Queen Mother is a rebel." How could Lü Buwei see you so easily. ”
Zhao Ji's eyes darkened, and then said: "Since it doesn't work, then forget it, Zhao Ji has disturbed the young lady for many days, and it is time to leave." ”
"Leave?" Qin Qing's face was full of surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "You live well, why do you want to leave?" After leaving, where is the Queen Mother going? "She hasn't mentioned to Zhao Ji that she is keeping her life experience a secret for Yingzheng. How can you let her leave so easily at this time.
"No matter how good you live, it's not your own home, and of course you can't live here permanently. died, the two children also died, and the only thing in front of me was to go to Zhao to seek refuge with my father. When it comes to children's books, Zhao Ji can't help but feel sad. Qin Qing took advantage of the situation to persuade: "The Queen Mother and the King of Qin, he is also the Queen Mother's children's book, so naturally he will not ignore the Queen Mother." ”
Zhao Ji sneered, with a look of disdain, "What is he!" He is not Yingyiren's biological child book at all, and naturally he is not worthy of being the owner of the Qin State. Even if he sits on the throne now, it is only a matter of time before he is exposed. ”
Seeing Zhao Ji's face full of resentment, Qin Qing suddenly asked, "Why does the Queen Mother hate King Qin so much?" Just because he killed? Seeing that she was silent, she continued: "I'm afraid it's more than that! Qin Qing boldly guessed that the Queen Mother hated King Qin mainly because he was Lü Buwei's children's letter. ”
Even if she didn't answer, Qin Qing had already guessed the reason. She didn't hate Yingzheng at all, but hated Lu Buwei! She resented that Lü Buwei easily gave her to Yingshu Chu, so she also hated the child in the belly, because it was Lü Buwei's flesh and blood. Zhao Ji's resentment towards Ying Zheng is completely a kind of anger. If it can be resolved, it will be much easier to convince her to keep it a secret.
Seeing her embarrassed look of being told the central matter, Qin Qing knew that he had guessed correctly, and sighed and comforted: "Has the Queen Mother ever thought about it." I completely hated the wrong person for so many years. Qin Qing also heard about the affairs between the Queen Mother, the former king and Lü Buwei, and the person who lost the Queen Mother was Lü Buwei, and had nothing to do with the current King of Qin. ”
"Nothing to do with it?!" Zhao Ji smiled coldly: "Lu Buwei and Yingzheng are connected by blood, how can it be said that it has nothing to do with it!" "Since ancient times, her father's debts have been repaid, and she has never felt that she hated wrong.
"It's true that Lü Buwei is the biological father of King Qin, but who can choose his parents? If King Qin is allowed to choose by himself, I am afraid that he will not want to choose Lu Buwei as his biological father! The person that the Queen Mother should hate is Lü Buwei. (The starter) is that he's been using you. And not the King of Qin. "Qin Qing is well aware of the logical thinking of the ancients, and it is not easy to convince Zhao Ji. Rather than bothering to undo the knots in her heart, it would be easier to divert the target of her hatred.
"He killed it with his own hands!"
"Today, it's all caused by himself, Lu Buwei just sent him into the palace to please the Queen Mother, if it weren't for his too big ambition and wanting to be the king of bubbles, there would be no end today!" Qin Qing said, worried that Zhao Ji would not be able to accept his words if he spoke too seriously, so he eased his tone again, "If Ken'an keeps to himself, even if he is arrogant, King Qin will only open one eye and indulge with one eye closed when he sees it on the Queen Mother's face." But he shouldn't have the intention of rebellion, if he succeeds in rebellion, it will be King Qin who will die today, so King Qin killed him just out of necessity and wanted to save his life. ”
Seeing that Zhao Ji was deep in thought, Qin Qing knew that she had listened to these words, and continued to shake her hatred, "The Queen Mother has lived in the harem for many years, and she should understand that she is just attached to the Queen Mother and wants to claim power, so she will be single-minded. If he becomes the king of bubbles, he will be able to choose the beauties of the world at his disposal, how can he love the queen mother. ”
Zhao Ji pondered the authenticity of these words carefully, and Qin Qing looked at her nervously, lest he miss any subtle expression, and the room fell silent.
After a long time, I saw her sigh faintly: "What the young lady said also has some truth, but today, what's the use of saying this to me?" I am no longer the Empress Dowager Zhao of the Xianyang Palace, just a widow and a funeral book, and I can only go back to rely on my father's Zhao Guonushu. Her words were filled with disappointment, and she only wanted to return to the place where she grew up and seek refuge from her loved ones.
Qin Qing naturally wouldn't let her leave easily, and said tentatively: "The Queen Mother still has the children's book of King Qin, so why should she return to Zhao Kingdom?" ”
Zhao Ji smiled miserably: "King Qin said local words in the Yongxian Palace, and the young lady must have heard it, so far, how can he care about my life and death." Except for her father Zhao Cheng, she really couldn't think of anyone else to rely on.
"I'm afraid that there is no place for the Queen Mother to return to Zhao, and the war between Qin and Zhao has not been extinguished, if King Zhao learns the news of the Queen Mother's return to Handan, I am afraid that he will send troops to arrest him as soon as possible, and then threaten King Qin with the safety of the Queen Mother, and then Zhao Mansion will also be implicated by the Queen Mother." Although what Qin Qing said was his own speculation, it was not an exaggeration.
When Qin and Zhao were at war, King Zhao was angry with Yingshu Chu, who was doing a hostage in Handan, and wanted to kill him to vent his anger, but he learned of the opportunity and fled back to Qin under the cover of Lü Buwei. If Zhao Ji goes back at this time, it is inevitable that the old drama will be repeated, but she doesn't have Ying Shuchu's good luck, and no one will save her.
The old scenes are vivid, although it is cold winter weather, Zhao Ji feels cold sweat on her back. She just wanted to find a place to live in her old age, and she never considered the problem of the two countries that had always been hostile, and now even the last place was vetoed, and she suddenly felt that the world was big, but there was no place for herself.
Zhao Ji's eyes were blank, Qin Qing saw her showing a helpless expression, and took the opportunity to say, "Why doesn't the Queen Mother ask King Qin for help?" "Qin Qing's wishful thinking is very good, and now Zhao Ji is at a loss and helpless, only Ying Zheng can shelter her from the wind and rain, if she realizes this, she will naturally not dig her own grave and expose Ying Zheng's life experience.
"Will he still care about me?" Zhao Ji asked hesitantly. I still can't believe that after she said those heartless words and the mother and the two broke off their relationship, Yingzheng would continue to take care of her.
When the fish took the bait, Qin Qing felt relaxed in his heart, but he didn't show half joy on his face, and comforted her lightly: "King Qin just said a few cruel words in anger, and the Queen Mother doesn't have to take it seriously." After many days, he was already angry, and he regretted what he said that day, and he wanted to come to the Queen Mother, but he couldn't pull off the Facebook of King Pao. Although these words were to comfort Zhao Ji, they were not far from the truth, although Ying Zheng didn't say it, Qin Qing knew that he was always worried about his biological mother.
"It's hard to believe that he still thinks about me." Zhao Ji's face moved, her voice was choked, and two lines of clear tears flowed down.
"You have always been the mother book, and King Qin has always grown up by your side, of course he will miss you." Qin Qing took out the book and wiped away her tears, "But the Queen Mother rebelled, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will definitely not let go of this matter easily." In order to appease the complaints of the courtiers, I am afraid that I can't give the Queen Mother a glorious life in the past, but it can definitely ensure that the Queen Mother has a worry-free life, which is better than worrying about her life when she returns to Handan. ”
Zhao Ji is different from her two children's books, although the children's books are related to Yingzheng, but after all, they are the children's books of this anti-thief, and Zhao Ji is Yingzheng's biological mother, and it is not difficult to save her life and give her a peaceful life.
"It's not easy to have a peaceful place to live, how dare Zhao Ji expect to be like the original." Although Zhao Ji does not understand the government, she also understands the current situation.
Qin Qing saw that she no longer had any resentment against Yingzheng in her heart, and she had no arrogance in the past, like a falling leaf, eager to find a place to return. Knowing that the foreshadowing he had done before was not in vain, he began to bring his words to the point: "It is naturally best for the Queen Mother to understand this, but it is also necessary to remember that the King of Qin must be the blood of the first king and the rightful owner of the Qin State to ensure the safety of the Queen Mother." If he is not the bloodline of the first king, he naturally cannot be the owner of the Qin State, and when the time comes, not only will his throne not be guaranteed, but the life of the queen mother will also be threatened. ”
Speaking of which, Zhao Ji naturally understood the meaning, she wiped away her tears according to the book, and smiled at Qin Qingyan: "King Qin is naturally the bloodline of the previous king, how can others doubt this!" "Her life is linked to Ying Zheng's throne, if Ying Zheng's life experience is passed on, she will definitely not be able to be the king of Qin, and her life will be in danger at that time. She is now homeless, and for the sake of her life, she has to keep this secret.
