The conversation with Lu Buwei was quite shocking to Ying Zheng.
And unconsciously, the sky also turned dark.
What should be understood is almost understood. Ying Zheng accepted the Grand Duke's ancestral order, and then ordered the jailer to serve Lu Buwei well, and then walked out of the prison with Zhao Gao.
"Zhao Gao, do you believe in destiny?" Ying Zheng, who had been lowering his head in thought, suddenly looked sideways at Zhao Gao and asked.
Zhao Gao nodded without thinking: "I believe, I always believe that it is God's arrangement that allows me to serve the king."
"Haha, okay, stop being poor now." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I'm not in a bad mood, but I suddenly learned something, and I feel a little uneasy."
Zhao Gao knew that there were many things that Ying Zheng was unwilling to tell him, so he did not ask.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng asked again: "If one day, you are asked to give up all your glory and halo, would you be willing to live in seclusion?"
Zhao Gao scratched his head and thought for a while before saying: "Although I don't have any glory or halo, I think it depends on the reason why I live in seclusion."
"What if it was destined by God?" Ying Zheng asked next.
"If it is destined by God..." Zhao Gao paused and said, "It depends on whether you are willing. If you are unwilling, even if you give up your life, you will not care about what God has destined."
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and asked: "Then if I want to live in seclusion, will you accompany me?"
"Of course." Zhao Gao said directly without thinking, "Don't talk about hiding in the world, even if you go there...even if you go through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, I have to accompany the king."
Zhao Gao originally wanted to say, "Even if I go to the underworld," but he felt it was inappropriate in the middle of the sentence, so he immediately changed his mind.
"Haha, your words are enough." Ying Zheng sighed, as if he had made some decision in his heart.
Back in the study, Ying Zheng ordered Zhao Gao to find Li Si.
Li Si led the craftsmen from the Jing family class to help the harem move, and they had just packed up before dark.
Entering the study, Li Si saw Ying Zheng playing with the remaining seven small stone tripods.
"Why, the king misses the two stone tripods he gave away?" Li Si said half-jokingly.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "I don't know if the process in Longxi will go smoothly, whether the people will accept the Yiqu people, and whether Solin and the third elder can convince their tribes."
"Unless they still have different intentions, it's not a big problem." Li Si said with certainty.
"I don't want to anymore." Ying Zheng gathered the seven stone tripods together and said, "I send things out, but there are also people who send things back to me."
"Gene Era"
After saying that, Ying Zheng took out Taigong Zuling from his arms while paying attention to Li Si's expression with his peripheral vision.
However, Li Si didn't seem too surprised.
"Sir, can you recognize this thing?" Ying Zheng placed the Taigong Zuling in front of Li Si and asked.
Not only was Li Si not surprised, but he smiled toothily and asked, "What did the king ask?"
Ying Zheng also smiled and said, "He really said a lot. No, it's already dark."
Then, General Ying Zheng told Li Si in detail about the conversation he had with Lu Buwei in the prison.
After that, Ying Zheng sighed and said: "It seems that I have indeed wrongly blamed Lu Buwei. No wonder my husband has said more than once that he will not have any objections. At that time, I still thought that my husband was just guessing, but I didn't want to. Sir, you actually have a lot of confidence.”
"I didn't expect that the king didn't panic after knowing this." Li Si said.
Ying Zheng chuckled: "I was panicking for a while, but it was only when I was in the sky prison. Now, I have basically figured it out."
"Oh?" Li Si asked, "What does the king want to understand?"
"Father Zhong, he guessed right. There is indeed an organization that is performing a very secret inheritance mission." Ying Zheng said, "As for what he said about the alternation of inheritance between Yan and Huang, although I don't completely believe it, I didn't expect it. There is no such possibility, and even in the pure Tiancheng lineage, there is no one like Mr.
To pass it on, the inheritance must have been discontinued long ago after thousands of years. "
"So, someone deliberately designed that the fusion of male and female bloodlines is the most basic thing, and the widow is the fusion of the bloodlines of both sides. Therefore, the identity has been determined long before the widow was born. It is not like what Mr. said, It was only after traveling around the world that I chose to be a widower.”
"Haha, that's right." Li Si looked slightly ashamed, "I said that before so that the king could accept it, but the original plan was for the master to tell the king directly."
Ying Zheng nodded to express his understanding, and then asked again: "It is easy for me to understand my life experience, but there is only one thing that I have not figured out."
Li Si asked: "Which point is it?"
Ying Zheng cleared his throat and said, "It's about the Queen Mother. Since the Queen Mother's bloodline is quite noble, why was it given to Lu Buwei, and why was she completely unaware of this matter?"
Ying Zheng was quite convinced that given Zhao Ji's personality, she must have no knowledge of this matter, otherwise she would have told him, and she would not have done anything outrageous with Lao Ai.
Li Si also sighed and said: "The king must have known that the Queen Mother was originally from the royal family surnamed Ji, but when she was very young, she was given to a royal family of the Zhao family by an envoy of heaven. , the old couple had never had any children, so they naturally regarded the Queen Mother as their biological daughter, and did not tell her the truth until she saw her get married."
Only then did Ying Zheng realize that his grandparents who loved him very much when he was a child were not actually his real grandparents.
"Brother Jing was the one who handed the queen mother over to Lu Buwei?" Ying Zheng asked bluntly.
"Well, it's him." Li Si's answer was very brief.
"Then how old is he?" Ying Zheng asked, "Why does he still look like that after so many years?"
Li Si smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the efficacy of Linggu Pill? It is not difficult to maintain a youthful appearance."
Ying Zheng suddenly realized this, and sighed with emotion before asking again: "How did my grandparents agree to marry their mother to their father?"
"Of course this is easy to handle." Li Si explained, "When the Queen Mother was sent to the Zhao couple, they left a token. At that time, Jing Liang, who went to pretend to look for relatives, only needed to say that the Queen Mother was still there a long time ago. When she was still in her mother's womb, she was married by her fingertips."
"So it's logical to marry the queen mother to the father?" Ying Zheng asked.
"That's right." Li Si said, "So the Queen Mother doesn't know her own life experience, let alone any of the secrets involved."
Ying Zheng lowered his head, thought for a moment, and asked: "Sir, although my mother has returned to Xianyang now, she is very depressed because of what happened to Lao Ai. Do you think that if you tell your mother these things, will it make her re-examine herself?" Make mistakes and get back up again?"
Li Si nodded and said, "Well, this is a good idea. But these words are inappropriate for anyone except Lu Buwei."
"Then why not, let the Queen Mother and Father Zhong find a time to talk alone. I will talk to Father Zhong in advance and let him tell the Queen Mother about the matter in a controlled manner." Ying Zheng said.
"Indeed, doing this may really open up the heart of the Queen Mother." Li Si said.
"Then I will go find Father Zhong early tomorrow morning." Ying Zheng seemed to have suddenly found a prescription to cure Zhao Ji's heart disease, and he smiled happily.
Li Si lowered his head and looked at the Grand Duke's ancestral order placed on the table, and said in a daze: "Does the king really want to hand over this ancestral order to Lu Wen?"
"This is what Father Zhong meant, but if you have other uses for it, that's a different matter." Ying Zheng picked up the Grand Duke's ancestral order and handed it to Li Si.
Li Si took the black token, caressed it a few times, and said: "Master didn't mention this matter. I think the matter must have ended with Lu Buwei, but Wei Chen felt that this ancestral order was very important to the Lu family. After all, it is an ancestral thing, so let’s leave it to Lu Buwei and hand it over to Lu Wen. Maybe, one day in the future, the king will use Lu Wen.”
Ying Zheng understood that with the Taigong Ancestral Order, the Lu family was an extremely loyal force and could be reactivated at any time as long as they were not wiped out with his own hands.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ying Zheng saw off his guests and said, "This matter
, I already know it well, so I will ask my mother to meet Father Zhong tomorrow, and my husband can go back and rest. "
Li Si said goodbye and exited the room.
Ying Zheng came to the secret room that had just been restored. After checking it, he walked towards Hu Yu's bedroom alone.
Early the next morning, Ying Zheng sent Meng Tian to Lu Mansion and took Lu Wen alone to the gate of Tianlao.
After Lu Wen paid homage to Ying Zheng, he followed King Qin into the gate of Tianlao.
In Lu Buwei's cell, Lu Wen prostrated himself and said, "Nephew, meet your uncle!"
Lu Buwei leaned over and helped Lu Wen up. He saw that his eyes were slightly moist and his eyes were shaking.
Lu Buwei patted Lu Wen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Nephew, don't feel sorry for your uncle. Don't forget the history of our Lu family. I have called you here because I have entrusted you with something."
"It's just what uncle ordered." Lu Wen cupped his hands and said.
"Well, having said that, our uncle and nephew have never talked like this." Lu Buwei stroked his beard again, "Now, the king has promised to choose a paradise for me to hide in the world. "
"Really?" Lu Wen asked in surprise.
For Lu Wen, Lu Buwei, who entered the prison, had almost stepped into the execution ground with one foot.
"That's right." Before Lu Buwei could speak, Ying Zheng said directly, "This is true, and I still have something to give to you."
After saying that, Ying Zheng took out the brocade bag in his arms and handed it to Lu Wen.
Lu Wen opened the brocade bag and was shocked when he saw it.
The thing inside is undoubtedly Taigong's ancestral order.
Lu Buwei pulled Lu Wen to sit down, and then talked about what he wanted to entrust.
Ying Zheng just listened and said nothing.
After the entrustment was completed, Ying Zheng asked Lu Buwei to take off his clothes and put on a eunuch's palace clothes, and also wore a face scarf to hide his face.
Lu Wen put on Lu Buwei's clothes and stayed in the prison.
Zhao Gao led the way, and Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei followed them to the Queen Mother's palace.
When Lao Ai rebelled, he knew that there was no one in the Queen Mother's palace, so he did not destroy it. But when renovating the palace, the Jing family also renovated the Queen Mother's palace.
Zhao Gaotong reported, and Ying Zheng took Lu Buwei directly into the palace.
Zhao Ji sat motionless on the back of the chair in a daze, as if her soul had left her body and was floating to nowhere.
The two maids who were close to her stood quietly beside the Queen Mother, looking equally sad and worried.
"Mother, I'm here to see you." Ying Zheng bowed and said.
Zhao Ji didn't react at all, as if she didn't hear anything.
Ying Zheng was not surprised at all by Zhao Ji's reaction, and continued: "I have brought a man with me, and he will tell my mother many secrets from the past."
After saying that, Ying Zheng winked at the two maids behind Zhao Ji.
The two maids nodded and stepped back, leaving the palace gate.
Lu Buwei then came closer, took off the scarf on his face, bowed and said: "Queen Mother, long time no see."
It seemed that this familiar and long-lost voice touched Zhao Ji. She turned her head slowly and her cloudy eyes twitched.
Ying Zheng knew that many things were not convenient for him to be present, so he also exited the palace gate and stayed outside to wait.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Buwei came out wearing a face towel.
"How is it?" Ying Zheng stepped forward quickly and asked urgently.
"She cried a lot." Lu Buwei said slowly, "However, she also cried out all the depression in her heart. I think she will no longer be depressed in the future."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Father Zhong!"
Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng with a rather strange look and said softly: "This may be the last thing I do for the king. In the future, you must treat your mother well. She has never controlled her own destiny. in the hands."
After that, Lu Buwei waved his hand and walked away.
Ying Zheng stared blankly at Lu Buwei's leaving figure, feeling really uncomfortable in his heart.
