Zhang Han had a good impression of Zhao Gao, much better than his impression of Gai Nie later.

In Zhang Han's eyes, Zhao Gao was a loyal, informed, and qualified confidant of the First Emperor, just like himself.

It stands to reason that people with the same personality should be exclusive to each other, just like two strong people can't play together. But Zhang Han did not reject Zhao Gao, the safety of the first emperor was more important than everything else, more important than anything.

After reporting to the First Emperor and confirming that Zhao Gao had authority, Zhang Han simply handed over the authority and obeyed Zhao Gao's order - with a group of newly formed shadow guards, secretly searched for Concubine Hu's belongings, and investigated the people who corresponded with Hu Ji.

Concubine Hu was wandering in the garden and fell into a well and drowned. Concubine Hu was a eunuch in the palace, and the palace maids did not take good care of her, and most of them were publicly executed.

This incident spread as soon as it spread, and it did not have any impact on the government and the opposition. In addition to the eunuchs in the harem, the palace maids are more and more cautious, and the concubines are all living in simple places, and they are cautious in their words and deeds.

As the master of the harem, Empress Afang, who has real power instead of ornamentation, found the first emperor and asked the reason as soon as she knew about it.

The maid who grew up serving since she was a child is also a woman she loves all her life. The First Emperor told the truth, made the cause of Concubine Hu's death clear, and also said that Concubine Hu framed her brother.

The harem is the only one who can let the first emperor tell everything without concealing it.

In the Zhangtai Palace, Ah Fang wore a solemn black skirt embroidered with a hundred bird patterns carefully painted by imperial craftsmen.

After listening to the first emperor's retelling, Ah Fang's first reaction was.

"Impossible! Uncle wouldn't do that! ”

Her expression was determined.

To say that this uncle of his own is very capable, and one day he will pull the first emperor off the throne and sit on it himself, Ah Fangxin, there will be such worries.

But it is said that Yingcheng is lustful, he is a demon in the sex, and he is the concubine of the first emperor, and Ah Fang 10,000 don't believe it. In particular, the one who said this was Hu Ji, the princess of the fallen country of Chu who hated the first emperor.

Ah Fang didn't have a good impression of Hu Ji, and he was on the side of Ying Cheng Cheng in both reasonable and emotional terms.

"Poor framing! If a slut dies, he will die, and he dares to separate his uncle and His Majesty! Whoever is involved, should be the three tribes! ”

The plain and gentle Ah Fang also moved the real fire, and the evil spirit condensed between his eyebrows.

can be the queen of the Great Qin Empire, and can suppress those concubines in the harem. Ah Fang not only relied on the favor of the First Emperor, but also his own prestige and means.

In the harem, Ah Fang's status is almost equal to that of the First Emperor, and he is a veritable master of the harem. Everything involves the first emperor, and Ah Fang is ruthless in killing people.

The First Emperor nodded slowly with a gloomy face.

"I want Zhao Gao to do this, I want to see who it is, who actually put his hand into my harem!"

Ah Fangfeng's eyes were full of anger, and he read the word Zhao Gao in his mouth, frowning and said:

"Zhao Gao is credible? He used to be the son of Zhao Guo, and he had a close relationship with the Queen Mother, and was knocked out of one ear by his uncle. It was a bit inappropriate to ask him to investigate the matter. ”

The First Emperor paced back and forth.

"I was confused by Hu Ji's words, but Zhao Gao reminded me that Cheng Cheng was a child. Although Cheng Chan has always been wary of him, and he has also been cautious about Cheng Chan's dissatisfaction, it is probably credible. I can't count how many times he saved my life. In official affairs, Zhao Gao never has personal feelings. ”

Ah Fang followed her husband, just like she followed her son when she was a maid when she was a child.

"What I say is reasonable, but I still think it's inappropriate. Since this incident happened in the harem, I will personally investigate! ”

"I have asked Zhang Han to secretly collect evidence and investigate, but I have not fully believed Zhao Gao. You investigate it yourself...... Well, well, the sooner this matter is settled, the better. ”

Ah Fang's eyes are like cold stars, and his heart has infinite murderous opportunities.

None of the empresses who can be queens in the Great Qin Empire are vases.

Turning his head to look at the side hall of Zhangtai Palace, Ah Fang sensed that there was a faint but strong breath of life over there, which was the fire of life for a child.

"Yin Yan, that girl is in there?"

There are so many princesses and princesses in the harem, who dare to come to Zhangtai Palace, where the first emperor works, to play. There is only the fifth princess of Daqin, who does not love female red knitting, only loves dancing guns and sticks, and is not afraid of heaven and earth.

Ah Fang was a little puzzled, why is this girl so honest today?

There was no movement.

"No, it's Hu Hai."

The First Emperor said calmly.

The First Emperor concealed his emotions very well, but it was useless in front of Ah Fang, a pillow person who knew and loved each other.

The moment the First Emperor spoke, Ah Fang noticed that his husband seemed to be a little guilty, and without thinking too much, he quickly understood the source of this guilt.

The First Emperor claimed that Hu Ji fell into a well and died, and he could hide it from the world, but he couldn't hide it from himself. The death of the orchid is inseparable from the first emperor himself.

The First Emperor did not feel guilty about the death of Hu Ji, but in front of his own son Ying Huhai, he forced his mother to death and made him the only son in the harem without a mother, and it is normal to feel a little guilty.

"The concubine has no heirs, Afang Palace has never been angry, so why not let Hu Hai accompany the concubine?"

An eighteenth son who has no biological mother, naturally no one dares to say anything outside. But in Xianyang Palace, most of the sons who are older than him and have the same status as him, the princesses will inevitably say some unpleasant things.

But if Ying Huhai is in Afang Palace, the sons who have been brought up by Afang since childhood, and the princesses will not chew their tongues when they are taken by Afang's majesty.

Qin Zhuangxiangwang's biological mother, Xia Ji, had no power, so she was sent to Zhao as a proton. And he was able to return from Zhao to Qin by recognizing Mrs. Huayang, who had no heirs, as his mother.

Most of the feudal dynasties in later generations were valued by mothers and sons, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and all the harem forces were blocked. But in the Qin Dynasty, where the power of the harem was not castrated, the son was valued by the mother.

The first emperor knew that this was Ah Fang's rhetoric, and the harem prince and princess were all brought by Ah Fang. If it weren't for him, where would Ah Fang need to take Ying Huhai, who had already given up publicly, with him?

After a moment's hesitation, he said:

"No need, I just want to open a palace for him."

"Your Majesty can't trust Ah Fang? Think Ah Fang will be unfavorable to him because of his mother? ”

"How could I ......?"

"Then let Ah Fang bring it."

The queen walked up to her husband and smoothed the horizontal lines on the forehead of the first emperor with her bare hands.

"Your Majesty is a person who wants to do great things, and don't waste your energy on useless things. That's all Ah Fang can do for His Majesty, and he is very happy to be able to share his worries for His Majesty. ”

“…… Wronged room. ”

In the partial hall of Zhangtai Palace, the eighteenth prince Ying Huhai, who used the first emperor to personally find a clay pot for him, teasing the first emperor and ordering the search for worms, is not clear.

In just a few hours, the fate of his life was changed.

Under the butterfly effect of Ying Cheng, in this life, he should have hated the first emperor because of his biological mother, and he couldn't even leave his name in history.

But now, he is not only favored by the First Emperor, but also blessed by Empress Afang. Ying Huhai has the possibility of being famous in the history books again.

Three days passed.

Zhao Gao, who is in charge of all the forces of the harem, Zhang Han, the commander of the shadow secret guard who secretly received the order, and the queen Afang, the lord of the harem.

Under the investigation of these three people, Concubine Hu's death should have been revealed long ago, the truth was revealed, and the mastermind behind the scenes should not have been able to hide.

However, what is surprising is that the three forces have not found out anything. They couldn't find the person Orchid would rather die than protect, just as that person didn't exist.

It is understandable if Concubine Chu can hide any information under the tripartite forces, after all, behind Concubine Chu is a relative of Chu, and there is also the identity of Ying Chengcheng's sister.

But how can Hu Ji, a concubine who is not powerful and unfavored, hide it? There are few secrets about the life of this deceased princess. When you met whom, when you did what you did, you can find out clearly.

A few days ago, he scolded Zhao Gao, who was ordered by the First Emperor to be a teacher for Ying Huhai, and drove Zhao Gao out.

Half a month ago, I wanted to go to the Chu Palace to visit my sister, but I was blocked by the queen Afang and scolded in the dormitory.

……

Zhao Gaobi bowed respectfully.

The first emperor listened to these things reported by Zhao Gao, and compared with Zhang Han's secret report and the queen's secret investigation, there was almost no difference.

Zhao Gao recounted everything from the perspective of a complete bystander. Without personal feelings and personal thoughts, it's like a machine.

"You met Concubine Hu."

The First Emperor sat behind the table, and after Zhao Gaoyu finished reporting, he said calmly.

Most of the people Concubine Hu saw were palace maids and eunuchs who didn't need to be mentioned at all. The only person who can be called a few exceptions these days is Zhao Gao.

"Yes."

Zhao Gao said calmly.

"How many times have you wanted to kill Cheng Chan, Zhao Gao, are you also sowing discord this time?"

"The minister really wants Chang'anjun to die, but it's not a personal grudge, it's more because it's not good for Your Majesty."

Zhao Gao simply admitted it neatly and did not deny it.

"The king of Chang'an raised Li Mu as a guest, and the wax sacrifice incited the people, launched a mutiny to slaughter Meng Xibai, and dared to threaten His Majesty's safety. If they don't get rid of them, Your Majesty will eventually backfire against them! ”

This pile, piece by piece, is the way to die on ordinary people, and it should have died a thousand and eight hundred times a long time ago, Zhao Gao's thoughts and words have no problem.

The First Emperor said through Zhao Gaoyan that he thought that Zhao Gao was very respectful to Ying Chengcheng before he went to Chang'an Junfu to see Li Mu, and also hinted that Li Si should not go against his brother.

nodded secretly, believing Zhao Gao.

"However, this incident has nothing to do with Gao. Your Majesty, how can Gao Hede want Concubine Hu to die to kill Chang'anjun and die for Gao? And that day, Gao saw that Concubine Hu had a palace maid, and the eunuch was present, so His Majesty could pass it on and ask about it.

"Gao knew that Chang'an Jun was a child, how could Gao say such a thing? Gao wants Chang'an Jun to die, because he is worried about His Majesty. How could Gao use His Majesty's reputation to want Chang'anjun to die? ”

The First Emperor was noncommittal on his face, but he already believed what Zhao Gao said in his heart.

Everything must have logic and reason to follow.

Hu Ji's death, no matter how you look at it, has nothing to do with Zhao Gao.

Logic doesn't work.

The truth is not right.

The First Emperor grabbed the crystal clear whole body on the table, pure red without impurities, the size of an ordinary person's fist, priceless glass beads, and different colors appeared frequently in his eyes.

Qin is hydrophilic, likes black, and is a totem bird.

Chu is pro-fire, likes red, and is a totem phoenix bird.

"Your Majesty, Gao has a guess, I don't know if I should talk about it or not......"

Zhao Gao wanted to speak and stopped.

"Say."

The expressionless face of the First Emperor was a piece of red reflected by the red glass beads.

This kind of glass beads, the first emperor has never seen a natural one.

Such a round, pure color, should be artificial, only his own brother Yingcheng made out.

Zhao Gao gritted his teeth, with an open expression on his face.

"Gao thinks that what Concubine Hu said may be true!"

The First Emperor didn't respond, but he didn't interrupt either, looking at the priceless glass beads in his hand and waiting for Zhao Gao to continue.

Zhao Gao, Zhang Han, and A Fang investigated and did not investigate the person behind Hu Ji, so this person may not exist at all.

The investigation excludes all possibilities, so the only possibility that was first subjectively ruled out, but not by the survey, is that the orchid is telling the truth.

After all possibilities have been ruled out, what remains, no matter how unconscionable, is the truth.

But there is still an impossibility for this remaining possibility, that is, Ying Cheng Chan is a child, and it is impossible for Hu Ji to give birth to Ying Cheng Chan's child.

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, and still said with a look of death:

"Chang'an Jun's "Yellow Emperor" is not broken, but its lingering buildings are also true!"

The unbroken body can only affect the sowing of the frog, but does not affect its entry and exit.

The First Emperor's arm trembled.

"Concubine Hu didn't know Chang'an Junxi's "Yellow Emperor", and mistook it for ......"

Bang~

The priceless red glass bead smashed on Zhao Gao's head, breaking Zhao Gao's flesh and blood, and smashing Zhao Gao's remaining words back!

"Dare to frame a frog!"

The First Emperor's anger is on display!

"Get out! Take your own ten rods! ”

"Yui."

Zhao Gao let the blood flow on his head, and after answering, he left Zhangtai Palace.

Soon, the sound of the cane scolding came from the outside and inside, and reached the ears of the First Emperor.

The big red glass bead rolled on the ground once and then couldn't roll, and it was stained with blood under the bright light, flashing with a strange light.

The First Emperor looked at the glass beads, and his heart was extremely irritable.

He knew that all of this should be fake, and that his own brother could not do such a thing.

If his own brother is really such a demon, he will not even let go of his woman. Then it is long overdue to go to the palace of the six kings and loot it, let alone ask for the abolition of the tower.

If the orchid was still alive, there were countless ways for the First Emperor to get the truth from the orchid.

Hu Ji thinks that Ying Huhai is the heir of Ying Cheng, which proves that the two should have a long-term relationship.

The First Emperor was not mistreated, and he pampered the orchid only a handful of times. If Hu Ji mistakenly thinks that Ying Huhai is Ying Chengcheng, it is only logical that the two often collide.

Whether the two people have been doing things for a long time is very easy to verify the authenticity, and some details cannot be made up, such as where there is a mole on Ying Chengcheng's body.

If Orchid says that she hasn't paid attention to this kind of thing, then ask Ying Chengcheng how long it lasts and what posture she likes.

But now, the orchid is dead, and there is no proof of death.

The anxious First Emperor really wanted to summon the soul of the orchid back at this moment to ask for a clear understanding, and wanted a peace of mind.
