As soon as he saw Zhu Xiang's sick face, he was frightened. When he learned that Zhu Xiang was just sick because of fatigue, he rolled up his sleeves and gave Zhu Xiang a few blows on the head.

Cai Ze scolded: "I can't finish things, I don't know how to combine work and rest, and after I fall, I make a mistake." This is what you taught Zheng'er and Zichu, why didn't you listen to it yourself? ”

Ying Xiaozheng nodded frequently: "That's it." ”

Zhu Xiang smiled bitterly: "I overestimated myself...... Ahem. ”

He pretended to be even sicker and weaker to escape Cai Ze's anger.

Zhu Xiang had a hunch that he dragged his sick body back to Xianyang, and he was afraid that his head and ears would suffer many heavy injuries.

Really.

When Zhu Xiang returned to Xianyang, Zichu specially greeted him at the gate of the city.

When Zi Chu, who was probing his brain, saw Zhu Xiang being helped out of the carriage, he stumbled and ran, just like Ying Xiaozheng ran back from the deck when he heard Zhu Xiang faint.

"You say I'm not worrying, you make people worry first!" Zi Chu knew that Zhu Xiang was fine, but after he needed to recuperate, he couldn't speak, so he only held back this sentence.

"Not next time...... No, I mean there won't be a next time. Zhu Xiang apologized repeatedly.

When the older Xunzi arrived with the support of a young disciple, Zhu Xiang immediately held his head in his hands to defend.

"Xunzi, I'm still sick, wait until I'm sick and beat me again!"

Xunzi smashed the ground with his cane and scolded: "Who is going to beat you!" Hurry up and get to rest! ”

Zhu Xiang nodded: "Okay, right away, right away." ”

He nodded his head too quickly, and his head was a little dizzy.

Zi Chu and Cai Ze supported Zhu Xiang on the left and right.

"The Zhuangzi outside the city has already cleaned up for you, you hurry up and recuperate." Zi Chu said, "Father Jun said that when you come back, he will go to your Zhuangzi to recuperate." I asked him if he would like to recuperate with you now. ”

Zhu Xiang smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that the king will also scold me." ”

Zi Chu said: "It's good if you know." ”

After Zichu sent Zhu Xiang back to Zhuangzi, he hurried back to the palace to report.

When Qin Wangzhu heard that Zhu Xiang had fallen ill, he was so frightened that he got into the carriage and left the palace without help.

Zichu packed his luggage for Qin Wangzhu and visited Queen Huayang and his young son before leaving the palace.

Queen Huayang originally wanted to take her grandson to serve Qin Wangzhu.

But Qin Wangzhu was also dealing with government affairs when he was sick. The more seriously ill he became, the more worried he was that the people around him would disturb the Qin State. Even if Queen Huayang had never interfered in government affairs, Qin Wangzhu was afraid of her and did not let her serve her, so as not to have the opportunity to meddle in government affairs.

Queen Huayang has always been very obedient. She only sent something to Qin Wangzhu from time to time to show her concern, and she didn't cry and make trouble.

Queen Huayang did this, and the beauties in Qin Wangzhu's harem who were crying and crying to serve Qin Wangzhu did not dare to make trouble anymore.

When Xia Ji fell ill in Qin Wangzhu and the crown prince Chu lived in Xianyang Palace in advance, her mind was a little fluctuating.

She took people to visit Zhao Ji, the prince's wife, who had been under house arrest.

If Zichu succeeds to the throne, Zhao Ji will be the queen of Qin. Although Zichu doesn't like Zhao Ji very much, Zhao Ji is Gongzizheng's own mother and Changpingjun's daughter-in-law, and when she becomes queen, she should still come out of house arrest in the future.

In the future, there are two queen mothers in the palace, and Xia Ji hopes to unite with Zhao Ji to suppress Queen Huayang and preside over the harem.

Natsuhime didn't have any bad thoughts. She just thinks that there must be a mistress in Zichu's harem, and she doesn't trust Queen Huayang. is still related to Zichu and Zheng'er, and Zhao Ji, I'm afraid they will treat Zichu sincerely.

As for Zhao Ji who did something wrong before and was under house arrest for so many years, she also knew that she was wrong.

Zheng'er is doing well now, and he definitely won't blame Zhao Ji.

It's not just Natsuhime who thinks so, it's the mainstream thinking of the aristocracy.

How can mother and son have an overnight feud? What's more, Zhao Ji just gave Gongzizheng to Zhu Xianggong to raise, which is actually not abandoned.

As for Zhao Ji's running away with someone after Zichu left the Qin State, outsiders didn't know about it. They only thought that Zhao Ji was just worried about being harmed by Zhao Guo, so they hid.

Zhao Ji's only mistake was that she didn't run away with Gongzizheng. But since she entrusted Gongzizheng to Zhu Xianggong, she is also reasonable.

And Zhao Ji once discarded Zhu Xiang, and not many people know about it. Even if they knew, they thought that Zhu Xianggong, who was so generous and benevolent, would have forgiven Zhao Ji a long time ago.

A saint like Zhu Xianggong must care about kinship very much, and maybe he has long wanted to reconcile with Zhao Ji.

When Zhao Ji becomes the queen, she will repair the relationship with the King of Qin, the crown prince and Changping Jun, and when the time comes, the family will be harmonious, and Zhao Ji will become a hot magnate in Qin.

Wouldn't it be too stupid for them not to curry favor with Zhao Ji when she was not yet a powerful person?

So as Xia Ji went to visit Zhao Ji, there was an endless stream of people giving gifts in front of the courtyard where Zhao Ji lived.

Queen Huayang's stupid younger brother, Yang Quanjun, also tried to give Zhao Ji a gift, and persuaded Queen Huayang to curry favor with Zhao Ji. In this way, after Zichu succeeds to the throne, her life will continue to be better.

Queen Huayang embroidered clothes for Ying Xiaozheng, who returned to Xianyang, without raising her head: "I know that I am not smart, and I rely on the king for glory and wealth all my life." The king also knows this, so whatever needs me to do, he will remind me in detail. The king told me many times that I must not get close to Zhao Ji, and I will not get close to Zhao Ji. ”

Queen Huayang stroked the clothes on her knees, wondering if she wanted to make them bigger.

"If you need me to get close to Zhao Ji, the king will tell me. However, even if the king tells me, I will not get close to Zhao Ji. Queen Huayang raised her eyebrows and said, "That scorpion woman almost killed Xue Ji." Yukihime is my only friend. ”

Yang Quanjun listened to the words, and it was rare to be smart once.

He knew that Chang Pingjun and his wife were deeply in love, and Mrs. Chang Pingjun was the adoptive mother of Gongzi. If Zhao Ji really has a grudge against Mrs. Changpingjun, I am afraid that it is not a wise move for him to rashly join Zhao Ji.

"That's it, I don't help each other." Yangquan Jun said.

Queen Huayang scolded: "Why don't you help each other? If you have the opportunity, you can get close to Changpingjun and ask Changpingjun for teaching! Whether it is Xia Ji or Zhao Ji, who has a better status in the hearts of Zichu and Zheng'er than Chang Pingjun? I'm the queen, I can't get close to the ministers, you can! ”

Yang Quanjun stammered: "I—I don't dare to go." As soon as I went, Changping-kun would pull me and ask me what I had read. ”

Queen Huayang was so angry that she put aside the needlework, picked up the ruler that measured the clothes next to her, and chased after her younger brother to smoke.

Yang Quanjun hugged his head and ran away.

He knows he is wrong, but he really doesn't like to read.

Chang Pingjun kindly asked him what books he read every day, how many words he practiced, whether he practiced martial arts, and asked him to go to Xunzi to take classes together, could he not hide?

Can't everyone watch singing and dancing together, listen to music, play and drink with pots?

Changping Jun is incompatible with nobles of the same age, and is recognized by Xianyang City!

After Queen Huayang chased after Yang Quanjun, Yang Quanjun did not give Zhao Ji any more gifts.

It is rumored that Queen Huayang looks down on Zhao Ji, and she will definitely have a gap with Zhao Ji in the future.

Zhao Ji was finally proud, and when she heard that Queen Huayang looked down on her, she inevitably felt resentment in her heart.

"The people in Xianyang City are waiting to see what kind of conflict Queen Huayang and Zhao Ji will have in the future." Cai Ze introduced the recent situation in Xianyang City to Zhu Xiang, "Because the king and the prince deliberately let it go, the atmosphere in the palace is very tense now. ”

Zhu Xiang propped his forehead and said: "Don't tell me Zhao Ji, I have a headache when I mention her." ”

Looking at Zhu Xiang's rotten appearance, the corners of Cai Ze's mouth twitched.

"If you don't deal with her before Zichu succeeds to the throne, will you let Zheng'er deal with it?" Cai Ze said dissatisfied, "Even if Zheng'er won't be soft-hearted, but after all, it is his biological mother, and whatever he does will violate filial piety." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Isn't Zhao Ji Zichu's wife?" Of course, Zi Chu is in charge. My younger brother, who has been swept away by Zhao Ji, how can I manage outsiders? ”

Cai Ze was even more speechless.

Zi Chu has no problem dealing with it, but he is worried about you.

Cai Ze took advantage of the fact that King Qin and Zi Chu had not yet come, and said bluntly: "If he hadn't cared about you, he would have let Zhao Ji die of illness a long time ago." ”

Zhu Xiang closed his mouth, looking even more tired.

He hated Zhao Ji, but he couldn't take Zhao Ji's life.

What's more, Zhao Ji is Zheng'er's biological mother, even if Zheng'er doesn't like Zhao Ji, I'm afraid she doesn't want to see her biological mother killed.

He also thought that Zhao Ji would be a little more honest after being locked up for so long, and knew that only by keeping a low profile could he be free. I didn't expect Zhao Ji's spirit to be so "tenacious", as long as she gave a little sunshine, she would definitely be brilliant, and even become even more brilliant.

Zhu Xiang really envied Zhao Ji's optimism. If he had been so stupidly optimistic, he would have been happy every day.

It's that the people around you are unhappy.

"Zhao Ji suffered a lot when she was in Zhao Kingdom, her body was always very weak, and she was often sick. After she was named queen, she stayed in a separate palace to recuperate, and would not live with Xia Tong and Zheng'er. Zhu Xiang sighed and said, "The Empress Dowager Huayang and Empress Dowager Xia in the palace are enough to manage the harem for Xia Tong." ”

Cai Ze said: "If you are willing to be ruthless, I will be relieved." ”

Zichu and his intention is to continue to lock up Zhao Ji and never let her appear in front of Zheng'er.

Zichu was even worried that she would live longer than herself, so she specially discussed with Qin Wangzhu, Qin Wangzhu had an edict, he had an edict himself, and two edicts for Zhao Ji to guard the mausoleum, and the king of Qin would never let Zhao Ji come out in the future.

If it weren't for the psychological burden of Zhu Xiang and Zheng'er, Zichu would have sent Zhao Ji on the road with a glass of poisoned wine.

It's a pity that in order to take care of the reputation of Zhu Xiang and Zheng'er, although Zichu put Zhao Ji under house arrest, he still has to provide her with good food and drink. On the contrary, Zhao Ji is healthier and has gained weight several times.

If Zhao Ji is willing to settle down, although she is not allowed to leave the courtyard where she lives, she can also die in peace.

And most of the women will not leave the courtyard where they live, and Zhao Ji is actually not very restricted.

It's just that now she's restless, then life wouldn't be so good.

Zichu kept her, and another reason was that Zhao Ji was alive to be the queen of Qin, and Ying Xiaozheng's position was more stable.

And when Zhao Ji became the queen of Qin, her life was worthless.

Zhu Xiang held his forehead, sighed again, and changed the topic: "I heard that Lin Li has returned to Xianyang, but he hasn't arrived yet?" ”

Cai Ze said: "He couldn't be idle, so he went to visit Duke Lian halfway back, and then went to visit Zhao State, hoping to persuade King Zhao to let go of Lingjun to the border." ”

Zhu Xiang put down his hand holding his forehead and said suspiciously: "It's been a year, and Xinlingjun hasn't convinced King Zhao yet?" ”

Cai Ze said: "Except for the Qin State, the monarchs of the other six countries rarely let the princes of the other countries control the military power. ”

Zhu Xiang thought about it, it was really like this.

Although it is normal for nobles from other countries to seek office, Xinling Jun is the younger brother of King Wei, and his relationship with King Wei is too close.

This is why the Qin State is called abnormal.

Zhu Xiang said: "I am used to the situation of the Qin State, and I gave him a bad idea. ”

Cai Ze said angrily: "You only knew that you had a bad idea?" But if this bad idea comes true, it will not be bad. Now King Zhao is estimated to be about to loosen up. ”

Zhu Xiang was curious: "What happened to Zhao Guo again?" ”

Cai Ze said: "It's the aftermath of Lian Gong's attack on Yan. ”

When the Zhao State fell into a famine, in order to let more Zhao people live, Lian Po almost turned the captured Yan City into scorched earth, and plundered a large amount of grain from the Yan State back to the Zhao State.

After that, although the Yan Kingdom did not die, it also collapsed, and the King of Yan soon died in grief and depression.
