The five ladies were waiting at the door of Gucheng Palace, looking forward to their husbands returning soon.
Nansu held his belly with both hands as carefully as if he were holding the whole world, and looked into the distance from time to time.
Hu Yu simply found a horse and sat on it to see further.
The moment Ying Zheng's carriage appeared, several women became energetic, and Hu Yu even urged the horse to run over.
"Your Majesty!" Hu Yu shouted before he even arrived.
When Ying Zheng was in the carriage, he knew that Hu Yu was coming, so he called the coachman to stop and got out of the carriage.
Hu Yu rushed to Ying Zheng. He did not dismount, but stretched out a hand: "Your Majesty, come up."
Ying Zheng knew that Hu Yu's carriage was too slow and asked him to be her horse back, so he reached out his hand obediently, grabbed Hu Yu's hand, held the saddle with his other hand, and kicked off with his feet. , stepped onto Hu Yu's horse.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Your Majesty is very good at martial arts." Hu Yu joked.
Ying Zheng: "..."
"Let's go, the sisters are all waiting." After saying that, Hu Yu clamped the horse's belly between his legs and drove the horse towards the palace gate.
When they arrived in front of the palace gate, the two men flew off their horses, and the other four ladies gathered around them.
"Your Majesty." The four ladies shouted in unison, as if they had gone through a rehearsal.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the ladies, Ying Zheng was surrounded and returned to his palace.
"The king must be hungry, Zhao Gao has prepared wine and food." Nansu said.
"Your Majesty must be tired. Do you want to rest for a while?" Lan Ting said.
"Your Majesty, what fun did you encounter this time?" Hu Yu asked.
"I'm a little hungry and want to take a bath." Ying Zheng said to the ladies, "As for fun, I haven't encountered anything."
How could Ying Zheng dare to say that he had ridden a mythical beast to patrol the mountains in the past few days? No one believed what he said. If anyone believed it, they would either be scared to death or laugh to death.
"Your Majesty, let's rest for a while, and we will prepare the royal meal." Nansu, the most reasonable person, knew that Ying Zheng was tired, so he winked at the other sisters and got up to prepare dinner. Seeing that Hu Yu didn't move, he specially pulled He gave Hu Yu a look.
Hu Yu originally wanted to listen to the story, but when he heard that Ying Zheng didn't encounter anything interesting, he followed the sisters out.
When he was the only one left in the room, Ying Zheng let out a breath.
He rushed back from Lishan Mountain before dawn. He had many things to think about these days, so he felt groggy. Unknowingly, the feeling of returning home made Ying Zheng relax and fall asleep.
After taking a nap, he felt his stomach growl again. Ying Zheng rubbed his eyes and saw Nan Su sitting next to him, waiting for him to wake up. His gentle eyes were enough to melt ice and snow.
"Your Majesty, you're awake." Nan Su's voice was also very soft and elegant.
"How long have you been sleeping?" Ying Zheng asked as he sat up.
"Not long after, the sisters were still preparing for the dinner party." Nansu touched her belly again and said, "Now that the king has flesh and blood, there are always people rushing to do the work, so that I can have more rest."
This is blatant laziness.
"Come, let me take a look at your belly." Ying Zheng approached Nan Su and gently stroked Nan Su's belly with his hands. The intensity was extremely gentle, for fear of hurting his child.
Nansu's face was also full of love and satisfaction.
Ying Zheng climbed on Nan Su's belly again and put his ear close to Nan Su's belly.
"Why is there no sound?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Probably, he's sleeping." Nansu put a hand on Ying Zheng's shoulder and looked at her man tenderly. At this moment, it was as if she owned the whole world.
Ying Zheng sat up straight and said, "Then let him sleep.
, I'm going to have something to eat. "
"Wait, Your Majesty." Nansu took Ying Zheng's hand and said, "I have a letter from you here. It was just delivered to Zhao Gao yesterday. Zhao Gao gave it to me to take care of you. custody."
After saying that, Nansu took out a letter from his arms, which read: Personally signed by the King of Qin.
"Who sent it?" Ying Zheng took the letter and asked, "Have you read it?"
Nansu shook his head and said: "I dare not read the letter from the king. It is said that it was sent back by the inn."
Ying Zheng opened the letter and first looked at the signature. At this glance, he felt as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt. The shock made Ying Zheng fall on his chair and he did not recover for a long time.
The signature of the letter is - Jing Ke.
When Ying Zheng went to Qishan, he mentioned to Li Si that he missed Jing Ke, so Li Si suggested using flying pigeons to send messages to Jing Ke.
Later, when he returned to Xianyang, Ying Zheng tied the letter to the pigeon's leg and let it fly.
After more than a month passed, Ying Zheng thought that the pigeon had not found Jing Ke, so he gradually forgot about it.
Now, I actually received a reply from Jing Ke. This rekindled Ying Zheng's disillusioned thoughts, and the concern hidden deep in his heart resurfaced.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Nansu was very puzzled as to why King Qin only glanced at him and stayed there.
Ying Zheng finally came to his senses and whispered, "It's okay. I just saw this signature and thought of this person."
"Oh, it seems that this person is an old acquaintance of the king." Nansu muttered.
"Yes." Ying Zheng responded without saying anything, looking down at the letter in his hand.
The content of the letter is relatively brief, with only a few words:
I am now in Qi, everything is fine. When I return to Qin, I will meet the king. Don't miss me.
Ying Zheng smiled, from the bottom of his heart.
Sometimes, caring about a person is out of instinct, not to mention that person is your savior.
Now, there is finally news about Jing Ke, and Ying Zheng has put an end to his worries.
Perhaps what he was always struggling with was why Jing Ke left him.
Ying Zheng carefully collected the letter and put it in the secret room, which shows that he valued the letter.
After putting away Jing Ke's letter, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and went out to have a meal.
This dinner was also made by several ladies themselves, and there were many styles.
When Ying Zheng saw that the ladies were happy, he drank a few more drinks.
"Your Majesty, how's it going over there in Qishan?" Nansu asked about business first.
"Yeah, what's the gain?" Wenxuan also asked.
Ying Zheng pretended to be mysterious and said, "You won't believe me if I tell you. Forget it, I'd better not tell you."
Sure enough, Ying Zheng's words aroused the curiosity of several ladies, who took turns asking what happened.
Ying Zheng hesitated for a while before repeating what he said to the craftsmen of the Jing family class in Qishan, and made it even more mysterious.
The five ladies all opened their eyes wide as they listened to Ying Zheng's story, especially Hu Yu's, whose facial expressions changed as Ying Zheng told the story.
After listening to Ying Zheng's description, Hu Yu was the first to come to his senses and asked: "Your Majesty, did those cattle and sheep really line up and walk into that forbidden area by themselves?"
The other four ladies finally came to their senses and looked at Ying Zheng together, as if waiting for the answer.
"Of course it's true." Ying Zheng said with great certainty, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how could I suspect that there were any gods living there."
"Then let's build the royal tomb in another place. This sounds a bit evil." Nansu said, shaking Ying Zheng's arm.
Wenxuan and Lanting also nodded quickly.
"This is not okay.
Ying Zheng said with a firm expression: "If there are gods, it means that this is a treasure land. In the future, there will be gods to protect it. But if there are no gods, then we are scaring ourselves." "
Among the five ladies, only Hu Yu nodded.
"So, this royal tomb must be built here, regardless of any obstacles." Ying Zheng said.
"Okay then." Nan Su wanted to persuade Ying Zheng to build the royal tomb in another place, purely for the sake of Ying Zheng's safety, but seeing that Ying Zheng was so persistent, he would definitely not disagree with Ying Zheng's ideas anymore.
Seeing that Nan Su didn't insist anymore, the other ladies naturally couldn't persuade Ying Zheng anymore.
Ying Zheng saw that the time was ripe, so he struck while the iron was hot: "Since we have decided to build the royal tomb there, we must do our best to get this thing done. You are right."
"That's right." Hu Yu curled up his delicate lips and said, "Now that you have decided, you must do your best to do it well, otherwise it doesn't matter if you give up halfway."
People who practice martial arts do have a certain tenacity.
"Well said!" Ying Zheng praised, "If you want to do it, you must do it well, otherwise, it will only be a waste of people and money."
"Your Majesty, how can I help you?" Hu Yu asked cheerfully.
"That's not necessary." Ying Zheng looked at Hu Yu and said, "I can handle it. However, if I go again, I may be busy for a while."
"Is the king still going?" Minruo, who had been silent all this time, asked.
"Of course I want to go. I can't do it without taking part in the battle myself." Ying Zheng said decisively.
There was a look of disappointment in the eyes of all the ladies.
"Besides, if you go this time, you may have to stay longer." Ying Zheng recalled what Yaizhen said to him in his mind.
"Stay longer...for how long?" Lan Ting asked.
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I can't tell, maybe about a month."
"So long?" Several ladies shouted loudly.
"It doesn't have to be that long. If we come back and stay for two or three days every three to five days, that's okay," Ying Zheng said.
Ladies, look at her, and she looks at you. You know that no matter what you say, nothing will change the situation.
If the enemy soldiers invade, if the King of Qin leads his troops to fight, can you ladies still stop him from going?
"Then, then..." Wenxuan hesitated, not knowing what she wanted to say.
"What do you want to say?" Ying Zheng asked.
It's okay not to ask. This question made Wenxuan blush with embarrassment, turned sideways, lowered her head and stopped looking at Ying Zheng.
Just when Ying Zheng was about to continue asking, Lan Ting said from the side: "Your Majesty, she wants to say that since the King can't always come back and we can't go there to serve the King, why not..."
Not as good as that, Lan Ting stopped saying anything and turned away shyly, just like Wen Xuan.
"Why not?" Ying Zheng asked anxiously.
"It's better." Min Ruo seemed to be determined, "Why don't the king also give the three of us a prince, so that we can raise our children in the palace with peace of mind."
Ying Zheng: "..."
this matter……
It seems like I have to just let it happen.
Nan Su was also catering to the side and said: "Yes, the three of them have been talking about wanting a prince all day long. They looked at my and Hu Yu's bellies with envy. If, Your Majesty, you stay longer, Then leave them a companion.”
Madam Wen Xuan, Lan Ting, and Min Ruo all turned their heads and looked at Ying Zheng tenderly, their eyes full of eagerness and desire.
Ying Zheng nodded bravely and said, "Okay."
In this way, the original plan to go to Lishan again was postponed for three days.
