The next day.

Dawn breaks.

The dawn light outside the window shines in through the gap, and the girl on the bed has her black hair hanging down like algae, and her facial features are so gorgeous that it makes your breath stop.

But on her bare feet, there was a gold chain hanging unexpectedly, and tied to the other end of the gold chain was a gold and copper beast that was blowing out smoke rings in the corner.

"Ding--stop."

Baitao climbed up from the bed as if she was boneless. When she saw the gold chain on her ankle, all her drowsiness disappeared. She tugged at it and said in confusion: "Who tied it for me?"

No one responded.

Next to him, Ying Zheng had already gone to court.

But who else could it be? Apart from him who could come and go freely, the rest of the people in this palace were nothing more than decorations in the golden cage.

Baitao shook the gold chain on her ankle, and the end of it was actually a tripping bell, and muttered: "Why are you like my brother, running around, and you still want to control me."

Li Si faced the sharp eyes of King Qin, but he was calm: "Zheng Guo is a masterpiece of South Korea. One yard is one yard, and the city can't be said to be the end. Why are you talking about the same thing? What if Zheng Guo used Thunder?

Lightning can bring down the Qin Dynasty's national power. How big are your heads enough to chop it off?"

Someone is behind it.

Ying Zheng: "Speak."

Li Si arched his back, which was very embarrassing.

Lu Buwei put down his hand and looked at Li Si with wrinkled eyelids. Li Si kept his head lowered. He and Zheng Guo were in charge of the affairs of the King of Qin together, and they were considered colleagues. He didn't expect that he would be the first to add insult to injury, but he was trying to assess the situation.

Not to mention these maids, even Baitao had almost forgotten about getting married to Brother Zheng. "I won't look at the wedding clothes. Just wear them. By the way, where is Rui'er?"

No one dares to say a word about King Qin's heart and soul.

Baitao just threatened her with a straight face, but the more she listened, the more fascinated she became.

"Ding Dong—"

"Yes, the little master is absolutely right!"

What do these people want to do?

"What is detailed work and what is point-taking?"

Baitao sat down, took an ivory chopstick and forked a piece of chicken leg. The maids bowed respectfully, and then left one after another. As the meal was finishing, the messenger from outside came in.

"No." Rui'er shook her head, "The eyes of these people in the palace have been stained. They know that this slave is the mistress, so how can they dare to criticize her harshly? It's you, the mistress."

Baitao hid behind her, "No, this is a decoration."

Li Si straightened up and finally said with a bit of sarcasm: "I don't agree with what Mr. Gangcheng said. He knows people and their faces but not their hearts. He knows his skin and his appearance but not his inside. Little does he know that Zheng Guo's dewatering years ago was not a trick. According to this,

The minister said that he should be imprisoned for a few days and then bring Zheng Guo’s family members to order him.”

"No blame."

The palace maid said: "Aunt Rui'er returned to the palace last night and is still washing and bathing. The young master will see you soon."

Even if the wheel makes a mark, he will lick it carefully with you.

After holding the sword for a moment, Lu Buwei slowly let go, sighed, and said: "The Zheng State matter has a shallow foundation. Although it does not involve much, it has deep roots. Whether to build the canal or not, it has great consequences for South Korea, Qin State, and even the world."

Changes in the situation will have a far-reaching impact. Since the King of Qin detained Zheng Guo in prison, the King of Qin must have made a decision long ago. We, the ministers, will listen to the King of Qin first."

No one had any objections.

Another person asked him to say: "You can move a lot of gold, but it's hard to find talented people. According to what Li Tingwei said, if any talented person from other countries wants to work in the Qin State, they have to go to Xianyang Imperial Prison to have their family members

Take them here? Li Tingwei, where are your family members?"

She added, "This matter is related to the country's water conservancy. It is of great importance to the whole country. It only lasted one night, and the commotion in the Qin State was as loud as the falling sky. No matter which country, they hate small things, but many people were found in the Zheng State Mansion.

Letters sent to and from South Korea were sent directly to Xianyang Prison without any trial."

Li Si bowed his head and said: "He is a foreign minister. I shouldn't say too many nonsense, but -" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Cai Ze, Lord Gangcheng, in a squeaky voice, "You shouldn't make such nonsense."

Don’t speak nonsense.”

"..."

It's still too light. After Shang Yang's reform and under the strict Qin laws, even throwing ashes on the road would result in stabbing and disfigurement, let alone the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

She gave her another chopstick.

The maids filed in from outside, opened the curtains, and brought lacquer trays with prepared breakfast dishes. They all stared at the gold chains on the ground.

Ling a supporter of Lu Buwei retorted, "Zheng Guo entered Qin alone, and the rest of the details are unknown. How can he bring his family to order the princes?"

Lu Buwei said calmly: "How noisy are you?"

The King of Qin, after being crowned at the age of twenty-two, can wear a sword and tie his hair.

Rui'er said firmly, "So what if Zheng Guo is a Korean master? You don't know, my mistress, and have nothing to do with me at all. You are still the first person to enter the harem, and you can't help others to point your fingers.

point."

Lu Buwei pressed his thumb lightly or heavily on the writing pen in his hand, and Ying Zheng's majestic figure was sitting on the throne, majestic and majestic.

In the Qin State, the officials who had been vigorously mediating around Lu Xiang Lu Buwei all used their keen sense of smell to sense that the King of Qin was not a fledgling, he was an eagle with full wings. Sooner or later, he would show his claws and beak, and he would be unstoppable.

to counterattack.

Rui'er was so smart, she stood still and looked at her and said nothing again.

Everyone turned their attention to King Qin again.

"I leave all the power over the investigation of Zheng Guo to you."

Rui'er held the snack she handed her, tears falling drop by drop, biting into the crab roe bun, she sniffed, "My young master - don't blame me."

Baitao asked again: "What will happen if he is imprisoned in Xianyang? Will he be punished with a stick, have a tattoo on his face or a sniffed nose, or be forced to do hard labor in ocher clothes?"

Zheng Guo was found guilty of espionage?

Who tipped off the secret and acted so quickly? How was it found out? Also, was it informed by someone from South Korea or was someone from Qin pushing it forward?

Baitao said, "How have you been these past two days? No one dares to embarrass you, right?"

"Yes! Fortunately, I have lived up to my command."

The cost of building the palace exceeded the budget. If the cost exceeded, it was said that the Queen Mother needed to use it, the Queen Mother needed to take a vacation, the Queen Mother was in poor health, and so on.

Under the eaves of the palace, she continued to look at the boundless sky outside by the window. After sending the letter in her hand, she opened the window, turned over her sleeves and robe, and disappeared into the palace of countless dreams and empty words.

Bai Tao: "What?!"

Bai Tao opened her eyes and calmed down: "Don't cry, don't cry. What happened to Zheng Guo? Please tell me the whole story carefully first."

Rui'er shook her head and shed two lines of clear tears: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all. My little master, I'm just afraid that I will never see you again in this life."

The white peach was in a mess, and from time to time, the miserable image of the beaver squatting in the prison flashed back. She frowned again and looked up at the vast blue clouds and blue sky outside.

Baitao fiddled with the chain and looked at her.

Last time the King of Qin had an order to summon the ministers to rectify the extravagant things in Xianyang. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that they must be heading straight for Lao Ai first. They were also eager to kill the bird Lao Ai first. Unexpectedly, the bird feathers were not caught.

Let them do all the tail-twisting.

Immediately afterwards, an eagle flew down from the sky, as fast as a speck of black ink. In the blink of an eye, only the fluctuations of the air flow disappeared.

After eating vegetarian food for several days, all the ministers were grinding their teeth and their resentment was rising to the sky.

"My lord, don't you know about this?"

compromise.

Baitao said with some distress: "Rui'er, you..."

He is a country bumpkin who appeared out of nowhere and made a name for himself by sleeping with women.

What's the purpose?

But now when King Qin is about to spread his wings and fly high, maybe King Qin wants to hear a different voice.

Combined with what she said last night, I really don’t know if she is just smacking her own feet or smacking her own feet.

Therefore, after arresting Zheng Guoxi, according to Qin's continuous sitting system, the little master Baitao in the palace should also be thrown into the dungeon and punished for his crime.

Not even willing to cover it up.

Do they dare to say more now because they think the official position is too secure and they want to hand it over to the King of Qin?

When the situation is changing, the King of Qin will definitely carry out drastic reforms.

These words woke up Rui'er. She swallowed some snacks and forced herself to calm down: "Yes, now the only one who can help me is my slave. I must cheer up and not let other bastards let Xianyang City suffer."

Those ladies in there are laughing."

She made a secret with her fingers, and a wisp of red smoke floated out from her fingertips, like a woman swaying her waist and rising straight up. She avoided countless surveillance eyes.

It doesn't matter at this glance, in just two days, Rui'er's cheeks have become much thinner and haggard, and even the light in her eyes has dimmed, like a cave with bats flying around inside.

"I'm okay, I have enough to eat and wear." Baitao asked her to sit down and eat snacks, and said relaxedly, "Let's not talk about it anymore. You must be hungry. Get up and try it. One mouthful of crab roe buns.
