“.....”

Gongziying didn't know whether to believe it or not, and sighed: "What an extraordinary person." ”

Bai Tao also nodded silently in his heart.

Of course, it's not human.

The official ship sailed closer, and the torches on it soared into the sky, and the reflection on the water surface was quite a bit of the smell of flowing water.

Gongziying looked at the sailboat that was gradually approaching, and waved his hand, "Gongziying, the white peach is here!" ”

The officers and soldiers above exchanged heads.

"Quick, slow ship steer steer, dock!"

"Yes!"

The anchor chain is thrown.

Seeing that they had finally found their whereabouts after searching for most of the night, the two officers and soldiers took a long breath and entered the cabin one after another to report to King Qin.

They bowed their heads and knelt down and said, "Report to your lordship, the white peach girl and the young son have been found, and they are not harmed and unharmed, and they are now on the cabin!" ”

Under the oil lamp, Ying Zheng was looking through the bamboo slips, and when he heard that his face was cold and his eyes were deep, he was nineteen years old and arrogant, but he was neither visible nor dewy.

"Get out!"

The officers and men looked at each other, a little confused.

It seems that the king doesn't care about the white peach girl, but he doesn't care why he sent two official ships in a row and dispatched 3,000 officers and soldiers to search for them overnight?

But it's not good to speculate too much about Jun's intentions as a subordinate, so he has to give up, "Yes!" ”

Just as they were about to go out, Ying Zheng sat up abruptly.

His slanted sword eyebrows, narrow and narrow black eyes, sit up like this, broad shoulders and narrow waist, eight feet six inches of majestic posture, like a lonely eagle falcon standing above ten thousand people, the momentum is extraordinary.

"Check it out."

The two officers and soldiers stagnated, secretly thinking that they were fortunate to be walking slowly.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse outside, the Weishui in the evening is like a mirror, and it is more like the Milky Way in the sky rushing away, and the mast on the official ship has turned around.

When Bai Tao and Gongziying stepped on the board, they looked left and right at the figure of Brother Zheng, and felt that it was impossible for him to be absent, so they found an officer and soldier and asked, "What about you?" ”

The officers and soldiers have not yet answered.

Gongziying's voice was as warm as jade, "White Peach girl, how can you be here, you are diligent in government and have every opportunity, maybe you are now in Xianyang to review the official documents." ”

The officers and soldiers said: "Your Excellency is in the cabin, I am afraid you don't know what time it is, there is still an hour and a half, and it will be dawn." ”

So late?

Bai Tao's heart jumped, remembering that not long ago, she swore to her brother Zheng that she would never go back so late, and now it is not only late and delayed, but also delayed until almost dawn.

It's over, it's over.

She lifted the hem of her skirt and ran briskly inside.

Unexpectedly, I bumped into a tall figure head-on, and the familiar aura came to my face, which was faint, deep, and aggressively domineering.

She rubbed her nose, took a step back, looked up at Ying Zheng's handsome face that seemed to be dripping thick ink, and said, "Zheng... Brother Zheng. ”

Ying Zheng's thin lips were pressed into a line.

If you know it's wrong, you will show goodwill, and if you don't get caught in the wrong place, it's all anti-bones when you pick it up and shake it.

"It's so late, and you still know to come back?"

White Peach: Didn't you pick me up...

Although this is the truth, Bai Tao knew that she was not happy to say this, she tugged at his sleeve, "Of course I know that I am back, where can I run if I don't come back." ”

Ying Zheng looked down at her, the girl's eyelashes were curled, the tails of her eyes were slightly raised, and she was wearing a gold and butterfly cloud satin skirt, thin and fragile, he stood in front of her, and even the shadow could be completely covered by himself.

That's a good thing to say.

His voice was softer, as if the snow had melted, "I'll talk about it when I go back to the palace." ”

Bai Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

Gongziying said in a timely manner in the back: "Your Majesty, this matter is not about the white peach girl, it is to invite the white peach girl to swim in the lake, and she did not stand firm for a while and fell into the river, and the white peach girl sacrificed herself to save her, which led to the delay so late, and she was willing to bear all the blame." ”

As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his shirt and knelt down on the plank.

Because of kneeling on the ground, he completely missed the moment of the king's frozen expression.

Bai Tao moved his ears, and seeing that the situation was not good, he grabbed Ying Zheng's hand and walked into the cabin, "I was wrong, you listen to me first, don't be angry." ”

"Not angry." Ying Zheng ignored Gongzi Ying and strode into the cabin.

He sat down and picked up a bamboo slip, supported his leg with one hand, his eyes were dark and deep, as if he was at the bottom of an ancient well that was invisible, "Joy and anger are invisible, not to mention that you sacrifice your life to save your son and baby, what are you angry about." ”

"Are you really not angry?"

He lowered his eyes faintly and rolled down the bamboo piece: "No." ”

"You still say no." Bai Tao took out the bamboo slip in his hand and changed the direction, "You have taken down all the bamboo slips, do you like to look upside down?" ”

Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips, got up and left.

Bai Tao knew that he was holding back a lot of fire, and immediately hugged his waist and stopped, "It's really wrong, don't ignore me." ”

"What was the last time you swore an oath?"

Last time...

Bai Tao thought for a while and said, "I said that if I can't find anyone when I come back late, I will thunder and thunder." ”

"Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-"

As soon as he finished speaking, the muffled thunder rolling in the sky seemed to roll on the roof of the ship, and then the crackling sound fell on the board of the ship as if the sky had fallen.

White Peach: "....."

God is so disgraceful.

Ying Zheng covered her ears and covered her little face in his arms, "Don't swear so much." ”

Bai Tao said sullenly: "I really didn't expect to break my promise at that time. ”

"You didn't put it to heart either." Ying Zheng pulled a fur-edged coat she often wore from the side and draped it over her, "The spring is cold, you came to swim with your son and baby on the lake." ”

"The spies of Han and Zhao are ready to move on the border of Qin, in case you fall into the hands of other countries..."He pursed his lips, "Gongzi Infant falls into the lake, and it is not up to you to save it." ”

Bai Tao nodded solemnly while listening to him, "I can save it, I can really save it, I won't dare next time, I promise, it's really 10,000 guarantees." ”

Ying Zheng knew that he was flooding again.

But for her, for herself. Whether it is the court's strategy or the country's governance, she is the weakness of her own helplessness.

He had to pat her on the back, "It's been a day of playing, let's rest." ”

Bai Tao also felt sleepy, but he was wrapped in his body temperature and breath, he was lazy, and hummed: "I can't walk, I want to hug it." ”

Ying Zheng put his hand on her delicate waist and hugged her like a child, not avoiding the officers and soldiers around him who bowed their heads at all, as well as the boy and baby who knelt on the ground when they got out of the hatch and didn't dare to get up.

Gongzi Ying looked at the girl on his body, and understood everything in an instant.

The bitterness permeated his chest, like bursting juice, and he said prostrately: "Long live the king, long live, long live." ”

In the distance, the green hills were rolling and wet, wet by the rain, and the dark ink color that fell on the rice paper.

Xiao Xiao Chunyu shook the iron horse under the eaves, and it was cold.

Ying Zheng straightened his nose and thin lips, pursed a cold arc between his lips, holding the sleepy white peach in his arms, followed by a number of attendants, and made the sound of clean footsteps in the silent Qin Palace.

In the rain curtain, a burly chamberlain walked out in front of him, he was Zhao Gao.

Seeing the returning King of Qin, Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Xia is in the middle of the night - the sky has collapsed." ”

The death of the Empress Dowager Xia represents that the situation in the palace is like this sudden change, and the arrogant Chang'an Jun Chengjiao will also lose his protective umbrella forever.

Ying Zheng paused, the wet and cold water vapor smeared on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, adding a bit of frost, he handed the white peach in his arms to Zhao Gao, "Take her back to the house." ”

Unexpectedly, the girl in her arms was half asleep, her eyes were closed, her arms were uneasily, and her voice was as thin as a freshly weaned milk cat, "Brother, don't, don't leave me." ”

Ying Zheng looked at her quietly, and the cold wind in the distance was still blowing in the treetops, as if it was endless.

He took the delicate girl back in his arms and put a kiss on her smooth forehead, "Don't rush it, we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Zhao Gao was stunned: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

*

The next morning, the rain was still falling.

Bai Tao was tinkered with by the palace maids early in the morning, and let them change themselves into plain clothes, hairpins, and bracelets, everything is vegetarian.

A good and charming fox beauty was dressed up as a scheming little white lotus.

Bai Tao looked at himself in the bronze mirror and was silent.

"Empress Dowager Xia has collapsed, the little master knows." Rui'er put two small white flowers into her satin-like sideburns, "The little master, as the righteous daughter of the Empress Dowager Zhao, should always go to the whole ceremony." ”

Empress Dowager Xia, the biological mother of Yingzi Chu, the concubine of Yingzi Chu's father, Yingzheng's grandmother, and the leader of the Korean faction.

Bai Tao knew the relationship between this stubble and asked, "What about Brother Zheng?" ”

"The monarch is still in the court, and the Empress Dowager Xia is not a relative in the end, and she can't be dismissed from the government because of this." Rui'er stuffed a silk handkerchief for her and put it on her hand, "Little master, smear peppercorns on it, and cut some when you cry." ”

White Peach: "....."
