Chapter 123: Asking for a lover and not a son

I am skeptical of Zhang Liqun's insistence that this piece of jade is the legendary Heshi Bi. Because, if Qin Shi Huang really made He's bi into a jade seal, this thing should not be the same as it is now, if it was not made into a jade seal, but as a treasure in his own tomb, then what is the intention of placing it alone on the top of this dark grotto?

I put the jade on the ground and looked closely, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. To tell the truth, the material of this piece of jade is not even high-end, it can only be regarded as mid-to-upper, and such a material cannot be the legendary He's Bi.

But since it is placed here, it must have its special role.

"Zhao Zhen, you put it back in." I glanced up at the place where the jade stone above was originally embedded, and said to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen nodded, and under Zhang Liqun's extremely uneasy gaze, he put the jade back in place.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Liqun said dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, I'll pay you back when I'm done."

So, I re-shone the flashlight on the edict. It stands to reason that the silk material of the edict, even if the workmanship is exquisite, the surface will be diffuse due to the distribution of warp and weft silk lines, so it is not easy to produce mirror-like reflected light. In this way, there may be some kind of concatenation between the two through light.

"Did you find anything?" Hu Bing asked on the side.

"The jade on it should be some kind of key, and the light reflects onto it, triggering a hidden mechanism."

"Organs? Where are the organs? Zhang Liqun said disdainfully, "I think it's better to take it off." ”

Hu Bing glared at Zhang Liqun, she also felt impatient with Zhang Liqun, "Old Zhang, you better sit down, don't be impatient!" ”

Zhang Liqun had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Gao Yuhan, who was on the side, seemed to have the same idea as me, squatted down, and tried to adjust the position of the edict. Next, a magical scene happened, as the edict adjusted the position, the light emitted also changed, and when it was adjusted to the brightest angle, I saw a bright green light shining down from the jade above.

"Look, there's light!" Everyone was shocked.

I saw that the jade stone was like an electric light bulb, illuminating the entire grotto, and the green light shone down vertically, projecting on a stone that was extremely smooth and polished.

"Look, there's writing on the stone."

"The text on this is not in the edict." I looked at the words shining on the stone and was incredible, "This mechanism is really cleverly designed, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is absolutely top-notch even today." ”

"Don't say it's useless, tell me what is written on it." Everyone urged on the sidelines.

"This part of the content is a hidden part of the edict, and the content is about the Changxin Marquis."

"Huh?"

"Yes, it was written above, because the adultery between Chang Yu and the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was exposed, Chang Yu was worried that Ying Zheng would attack him, so he decided to strike first, and wanted to kill Ying Zheng and replace him. After the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji learned of Chang Yu's actions, not only did she not stop Chang Yu from plotting rebellion, but instead became Chang Yu's accomplice, and even took the initiative to persuade Chang Yu to raise troops! ”

"What? Zhao Ji persuaded Chang Yu to raise troops? Tiger poison does not eat children, is Zhao Ji's heart a stone, that is her own son. Zhang Liqun couldn't help but shake his head and said, "This is too incredible." ”

"The child who was conceived and gave birth in October, Zhao Ji naturally didn't want to see him killed by the rebels. However, the arrow has to be sent again, Chang Yu has been forced into a desperate situation, if he doesn't kill Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng will definitely kill him, and for Zhao Ji, she

There is an Achilles' heel. ”

"What weakness?"

"Kid!"

"Kid?"

"That's right, Zhao Ji and Chang Yu have two children, and these two children became Zhao Ji's heart at that time, which directly caused her to fall to Chang Yu's side unprincipledly."

"Oh, what a sad woman." Yelu Qinghui sighed with emotion, "But I still think it's incredible, on the one hand, the child she raised with hard work, the king of the Great Qin Empire, and on the other hand, she and her lover gave birth to a wild seed, how could she be willing to kill her own son for the sake of two biological flesh and blood?" ”

"To be precise, Zhao Ji is not for her children." I shook my head and said, "She's doing it for her lover." ”

"For the sake of Chang Yu?!" Everyone stared at me, expecting my answer.

"Yes, for the sake of Chang Yu, Zhao Ji wants a lover not a son."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Because once Zhao Ji is biased towards Ying Zheng, although Ying Zheng can live, what she is facing is a deep cold palace, an endless lonely sunset in Yongcheng, and she falls to Chang Yu, her son is still there, her lover is by her side, she is still the queen mother of the world, and she has no loss at all."

"This is what the edict says? Or did you make it up yourself? "Everybody was questioning me.

Pointing to the words in the edict, I explained, "Can I make up such a ridiculous joke?" It's all written in the edict, Zhao Ji's truest idea in her heart is to protect Chang Yu, she lost her husband in her early years and suffered from loneliness, maybe she was born a woman who was unwilling to be lonely, and she couldn't bear the pain of lovesickness, she became a little woman when she shouldn't be a little woman, this is Zhao Ji's saddest fate. ”

"Don't you think she's cheap?" At this time, Hu Bing, who had been standing on the side and had been silent, suddenly said in a cold voice.

I looked up at her, then fell silent.

I was not surprised that Hu Bing said such a thing. Of course, it doesn't seem wrong to outsiders, but I can read the sensations that others don't realize.

To tell the truth, Hu Bing is not as good as Zhao Ji.

Chen Yina also seemed to have something unspeakable, looking at me with blank eyes, and there was some kind of information in her eyes, as if to tell me what choice she would make if she was Zhao Ji. I hope she doesn't choose the same path as Zhao Ji, because while being spurned by the world, she will also be conservative and suffering.

"If you are Chang Yu, what do you want Zhao Ji to do?" Chen Yina asked.

Sure enough, she still asked.

While she was asking, Hu Bing's eyes also looked at me, as if he was also expecting my answer.

"What if I'm Chang Yu? Hehe, that's a good question, as a concubine, I will be very low-key, this is the duty of the concubine, if nothing else, I can maintain a long-term relationship with Zhao Ji under the emperor's nose, and even with his acquiescence, this is not only for self-preservation, but also to maintain the dignity of the royal family, and most importantly, to maintain a long-term relationship, without this, nothing else can be talked about. ”

Chen Yina glanced at me, "It's a set of words, I think you already have this kind of plan in your heart, don't you want to be a contemporary concubine?" ”

"I want to do it, are you Zhao Ji?"

Chen Yina was angry, and was about to raise her hand, when suddenly the whole hole shook, and I realized that it was not good.

"What's the situation?" I quickly put the edict away and put it in my pocket, and when I was about to remove the jade from the top again, I found that the jade had melted away.

"Is this jade a mechanism?" I suspect that this jade has another function

It is a kind of mechanism, once the jade is activated, it will emit fluorescence, the source of this fluorescence jade is a chemical reaction after receiving light, and as the reaction continues, the jade will gradually disappear, and finally when it reaches a certain level, the jade will trigger the mechanism.

"Get out of the way!"

Everyone scattered and hid under the wall, but I quickly realized that doing so would lead to something more dangerous, and I was about to turn to warn them when the wall of the cave behind us exploded with a "boom".

Because we were all leaning against the cave wall, the weight of the whole body was on the back, and now the support point on the back was gone, and we all leaned back.

After only a few thuds, a biting coldness spread through my body, and I knew we had fallen into the underground river.

"Yina!" In a hurry, I only grabbed Chen Yina's hand, but Hu Bing was swept away by the current.

"Are you alright?" I held Chen Yina tightly in my arms, because I couldn't get out of the water, so I could only let the water wash away.

The water of the underground river is very fast, which I did not expect, and I have no strength at all when my whole body is stimulated by the cold water, and I can only move with the flow of water.

I'm not afraid to move with the water, but what I'm most afraid of now are the stone thorns that protrude from the cave walls, and if I accidentally touch them, I will have to shed a layer of skin if I don't die.

The fear still happened, and in the process of being driven by the current, I was hit the head and lost consciousness.

I don't know how long I fell asleep, but I slowly opened my eyes, and I saw Chen Yina's anxious face.

I suddenly remembered Hu Bing, grabbed Chen Yina's arms with both hands and asked, "Where is Hu Bing?" ”

Chen Yina may be a little angry, because the first thing I said was not to care about her but Hu Bing, tilted her head to look at me, then touched my forehead with her hand, and said, "There is no fever, what's wrong with you." ”

Hearing Chen Yina's words, I shook my head and said, "It's nothing. Then he lowered his head and thought about what had happened before he fell unconscious.

When I looked up again, I found that it was just me and Tatsuyina.

"What about the others?" I looked at Chen Yina and asked.

Chen Yina snorted with her nose and said, "I don't know, I woke up next to you." ”

"Didn't we get washed down together?" I looked at Chen Yina and asked.

"Probably not, the water in the underground river is very fast, maybe they were washed away somewhere else." Chen Yina touched her head and said.

I nodded, and what Chen Yina said was not unreasonable.

"Did you pull me ashore?" I looked up and asked again.

Chen Yina sighed and said, "I don't even know how I got here, how can I save you." ”

"Who saved us?" I asked, scratching my head.

"I don't know." Chen Yina spread her hands and said.

"The mechanism above just now must have a special effect, and it is a door of life, not a door of death!"

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because if Zhao Ji designed this mechanism to kill us, why would she bother to do it, she actually hopes that someone else can open this secret, so she doesn't have to kill us after we unlock the secret, so no one can pass on this secret."

"Maybe she just doesn't want the secret to be known."

"Then why did she write this edict?"

Tatsu Yina was silent.

"I think this underground river may be a passageway, and she has some secrets hidden here."
