The death of Mrs. Huayang is definitely another bad news for Xianyang Palace.

Although she had run out of oil, the poisoning and Nansu's death accelerated her illness and shortened her lifespan.

Mrs. Huayang is like a needle to the Qin State, whether it is many old clans or members of the royal family, which one dares to criticize her?

Besides, Mrs. Huayang is definitely a noble person of Yingzheng.

Because the reason why Ying Zheng's father Ying Yiren was able to inherit the throne back then was because he was adopted as an adopted son by Mrs. Huayang, if Ying Yiren couldn't be the king of Qin, then the current throne would not matter to Ying Zheng at all.

In just a few days, the two ladies who were both surnamed Xiong died one after another, which may also indicate the complete end of the Chu forces in Xianyang, and it also means that the Qin State has no longer care about it, and can start a war against the Chu State at any time.

Ying Zheng looked at Mrs. Huayang quietly, and her eyes, which were already crying red, moistened again.

He took two steps back, knelt on the ground and bowed, "Grandson farewell to Grandmother Wang, may you be blessed by the Spirit of Heaven to win the battle of unification in my Great Qin, and I will not disappoint your respectful teachings to me." ”

He kowtowed three times and muttered a few more words before he stood up.

Zhao Gao, who was outside the door, heard the movement, and when he entered the door, he saw the situation again, and he already knew the result, so he comforted: "Your Majesty, the festival mourns and changes." ”

Ying Zheng, who had been hit one after another, was in a very depressed mood, he let out a long breath of turbidity, and then said slowly: "Did Grandmother Wang leave any last words when she was alive?" ”

Zhao Gao said: "The Queen Mother really wants to see you for the last time, she said that if she can't survive and you come back, she will tell you that the poisoned Jinxia seems to have something to do with Fan Yuzhi, and if something really happens to Mrs. Nansu, she wants to ask you to treat Fusu well and make Fusu the prince." ”

Ying Zheng frowned, he had announced in the harem before that he would not set up a prince in the short term, because the establishment of a prince would more or less affect the implementation of the millennium plan in the future.

Now that Nansu has thrown down Fusu and left, Mrs. Huayang has left behind a will, which does make him a little embarrassed.

"What else did Grandmother Wang say?"

"The Queen Mother also said that if the king really has the ambition to rule the world, let it go." Zhao Gao continued, "If the state of Chu is finally defeated, she hopes that the king will be kind to the people of Chu and not look the other way. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "This is not difficult to do, as for the establishment of the crown prince...... Let's talk about it later. ”

"Then how should we deal with the current matter of the Queen Mother and Princess Nansu?" Zhao Gao asked.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said: "I am going to write a text and tell the world, just say that Grandmother Wang is sick and has returned to the destiny of heaven, and Princess Nansu has encountered a villain and gone with Mrs. Huayang." ”

Zhao Gao responded and began to announce the death of Mrs. Huayang in accordance with normal etiquette.

Zhao Ji hurried over with all the princesses, and for a while, the sound of crying resounded throughout the palace.

I haven't seen Yingzheng for a long time, and the princesses never thought that they would be in this situation when they saw each other again.

Zhao Gao began to be busy arranging the mourning hall and customizing the coffin, while Zhao Ji took the maids to clean the palace.

Ying Zheng saw Hu Yu leading Fusu and Hu Hai, so he stepped forward and said a few words, and then took Fusu into his imperial study alone.

Just lost his mother, Fusu's spirit didn't seem to be very good, and after seeing Yingzheng, he recovered some of the aura that a teenager should have.

Gently stroking Fusu's head, Ying Zheng said guiltily: "Son, Daddy came back late and made you lose your mother, will you blame Daddy?" ”

Fusu looked aggrieved, pouted, and did not speak.

Ying Zheng knew that he was stimulated, so he asked tentatively, "Do you want to avenge your mother?" ”

Fusu nodded slightly.

"Since you want your mother to look at Jiuquan, then you must be a man." Ying Zheng continued to guide, "You can't let fear and cowardice take over your heart, you need to tell Daddy everything you experienced that day so that I can catch the murderer, right?" ”

In his mind, the scene of that day resurfaced, and the resentment against Yingzheng gradually disappeared, Fusu finally opened his heart and cried loudly.

Ying Zheng took him into his arms, slowly stroked his back, and soothed the weak heart.

After a while, the sobbing sound gradually stopped.

Ying Zheng helped Su up, put his hands on his shoulders, and said seriously: "Dad asked you, you haven't seen grandpa, right?" ”

Fusu nodded.

"That's right, my father is just like you, I lost my father when I was young." Ying Zheng sighed, as if he was reminded of the past, "At that time, I was even more miserable, and I had to inherit the throne at the age of thirteen. ”

Fusu blinked and said, "Isn't it good to inherit the throne?" ”

Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "For a teenager, the burden is too heavy, it should be an innocent age, but he has to worry about state affairs with all his might, and the most important thing is that he can't say something easily, because once he says something wrong, it may cause immeasurable losses." Can you understand Daddy's situation? ”

Fusu seemed to slightly understand Yingzheng's situation at that time, and nodded lightly.

"So, you have to be as strong as your daddy." Ying Zheng said, "You will eventually grow up and become a well-known man, so don't let the grief in front of you defeat you." ”

"Dad is also sad and sad, but Dad will not sink, because there are still many things waiting for Dad to do, and there are still many suffering people in the world, waiting for Dad to rescue. Didn't your mother always teach you to be kind to your subordinates and the people, if the two of us hugged our heads and cried in the house all day long, and told those people who were waiting for us? ”

Fusu muttered, "But...... There are thousands of people, but there is only one mother. ”

"You're wrong." Ying Zheng scratched his little nose and said gently, "There is only one mother for everyone, and they all have a day when they are gone, besides, you still have several aunts who love you." ”

"By the way, my father went to the Western Regions this time and brought back a wonderful aunt for you, she hugged back your little sister, she is very cute, you will love her more in the future."

Losing a loved one will increase the value of family affection, Fusu nodded very seriously and said: "Daddy, don't worry, I will definitely protect all my younger brothers and sisters and prevent them from being bullied in any way." ”

"That's what a good boy is." Seeing that Fusu's heart knot had been opened, Ying Zheng said with a smile, "But for now, you have to avenge your mother first, and you have to tell your father everything you know." ”

Fusu's small eyebrows moved slightly, as if he remembered the past he didn't want to mention, he tried to control his emotions, and told Yingzheng what he saw that day.

A child who is more than eight years old naturally has no coherence when he learns to speak, and some preambles do not match the afterword, but after all, it is a personal experience and has the most practical investigative value.

"So...... Ying Zheng asked analytically, "Your mother met Chang Wenjun in that restaurant, and then went out of the city with him to ask for a doctor?" ”

Fusu nodded.

Ying Zheng sighed: "Your mother is too easy to trust others, why doesn't she want to think about it, how good the medical skills of the imperial doctor in the palace are, how can she be inferior to a country doctor, not to mention that Li Si's medical skills are also good, even he has no good way, how can others believe it." ”

"Your mother was in a panic at the time, and she believed what others said, which caused the disaster of killing."

"Remember, child, always be wary of outsiders, because even if you trust someone, he will not write betrayal on his face."

Although Fusu didn't quite understand, he nodded very seriously.

Ying Zheng continued: "In the future, you will follow Aunt Hu Yu, Hu Hai is the same age as you, you can also play together." If you think of anything about your mother, tell your father about it. ”

Fusu answered, and then was escorted by the two little princesses and returned to the inner palace.

The study was quiet, and Ying Zheng quickly sorted out the various connections and details of the whole thing, and only felt that a few doubts were the key to it.

Why did Yan Dan take Gao to leave the Qin State, did he want to deliberately get close to Nansu?

After Yan Dan came to the palace, how did he persuade Jinxia to poison?

Why did Chang Wenjun obey Yan Dan's arrangement and betray Great Qin?

Yan Dan did not hesitate to risk his life and planned so much, was it just to kill a Nansu?

What is his ultimate goal?

After combing it out, Ying Zheng stepped out and went straight to Huayang Palace.

Zhao Gao and a group of palace maids and eunuchs have already gathered Huayang Palace, the mourning hall has been set up, and Bai Ling has also been suspended.

A few people in the harem also cried almost and began to help pick up together.

Mrs. Huayang's body has been freshened up, changed into a brand-new phoenix robe, and put on expensive jewelry.

The children of the royal family also received the news one after another, and they entered the palace one after another to pay respects, especially some who were related to the Chu family, and the crying was even more heartbreaking.

Officials from the DPRK and China also rushed to offer condolences.

Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao to take care of him in the palace, and he came to Li Si's prime minister's mansion again with a team of guards.

"I asked Zhao Gao to make the matter public, let's put Nansu's body in the coffin and bring it back to the palace." Ying Zheng said, "You all go out first, and I still have to see Nansu's wounds." ”

Li Si led people out of the inner hall and stood at the door waiting for the summons.

Ying Zheng slowly untied Nansu's shirt and carefully examined the wound on her back.

Both were fatal wounds, one in the back of the heart and the other in the waist and eyes.

As Fusu just recounted, the arrow in the back of the heart was the cold arrow they suffered when they first rode on their horses, and the wound in the waist and eye was the stray arrow after running out of the mountains and forests.

Ying Zheng saw the two broken arrows placed on the side, and this murder weapon was obviously a weapon commonly used by ordinary Qin troops.

Several maids brought from the palace removed all of Nansu's ordinary clothes, and then changed into a brand-new phoenix robe, and rearranged Nansu's appearance.

"You go with peace of mind, I will avenge you and teach Fusu to become a talent." After saying a few more heart-wrenching words, Yingzheng said his final goodbye to Nansu.

After Xuan's entry into Li Si, Ying Zheng ordered Nansu's body to be put into a coffin, and then transported back to the palace and placed in a coffin with Mrs. Huayang's coffin.

Everything was handled properly, Ying Zheng called Zhao Tuo into Li Si's inner study, and asked about the situation at that time.

Zhao Tuo also told the whole thing one by one.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and asked, "Before, you said that you had caught Jinxia, did you try it?" ”

"It's been tried." Li Si replied, "But her bones are still quite tough, and she still refuses to confess after being tortured." ”

"Did you find anything?"

Li Si said: "In addition to his belongings and some silver taels, he only found a jade pendant and a pair of bracelets. ”

"Show me it." Ying Zhengdao.

Li Si went to fetch all of Jinxia's belongings.

Ying Zheng picked up the pair of bracelets, looking at nothing special, and then picked up the jade pendant, but felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Because of taking Linggu Pill for a long time and eating basalt fruit, Ying Zheng's own divinity has already been awakened, so he subconsciously searched for the childhood memories that had been sealed in the dust.

"I remember." After a while, Ying Zheng spoke, "I have seen this jade pendant, Cheng Huan was seven years old that year, and he wore it for a while. ”
