Yangquan Jun and Prince Cheng Qiao were watching singing and dancing while eating. As long as the King of Qin caught evidence of adultery between Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji, both of them would face the torture of Lingchi. The mother did not abide by the rules of women, and the son Ying Zheng also will be implicated.
"Haha, Mr. Yangquan is really well-versed!" Cheng Qiao toasted him with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "I can even find out the time and place of Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji's affair. Look at how Lu Buwei can turn around. He is a promiscuous palace. capital offense!"
Yang Quanjun waved his hands modestly and said: "This is nothing. Who asked him to give us a trick to drain our salary? Otherwise, I wouldn't have retaliated with a more ruthless trick! Prince, rest assured, Ying Zheng, the crown prince, has become the leader. !”
"Hahaha!" Cheng Qiao said with a wild smile: "Ying Zheng will definitely become the laughing stock of future generations. The position of prince will be abolished in less than a day!"
The two of them were enjoying themselves when the butler hurried over and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Yangquan Jun, what's bad, news came from the palace that the king has passed away!"
"Clang..." The wine glass in Cheng Qiao's hand fell to the ground!
"How is that possible?" Mr. Yangquan jumped up from his seat, pointed at the butler's nose and said, "Do you want to die for saying such treacherous words? I also met with the king in the afternoon. The king is in good health, how could he die? ?”
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "I don't believe it either, but this is what someone from the palace said. I want to inform you that you two will enter the palace immediately without delay!"
"How did my father die?" Cheng Qiao felt as if the world was falling apart and all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained away.
The steward replied: "The king died suddenly. There were no symptoms at all before the onset of the disease. He suddenly felt abdominal pain while eating, and then fell to the ground and died. When the doctors arrived, there was no way to save him. All the eunuchs and maids said so. !”
"Quickly, help this prince up, Mr. Yangquan and I will go into the palace together..."
…
In the Qin Mansion, Ji Jie and Qin Qing were sitting on the pavilion admiring the moon.
"Brother, the people sent by King Qin to monitor have not been removed. Why are you so sure that we have saved the day?" Qin Qing asked.
"Haha, if I'm not wrong, the King of Qin should have passed away!" Ji Jie looked mysterious and said with a smile: "And Ying Zheng will soon become the new King of Qin. The royal family has no control over the Qin family. Their attitude will change greatly! In addition, the national mourning and the new emperor's accession to the throne will keep them busy for a while, and they will still have time to take care of you, sister!"
"Oh, how did you know that the king passed away?" Qin Qing asked quickly.
"The mountain man has his own clever plan!" Ji Jie took the lead.
Qin Qing pouted cutely, picked up a grape, peeled off the skin carefully, then handed it to Ji Jie's mouth, and said in a pleading tone: "Good brother, just tell me!"
When Ji Jie went to bite the grape, he deliberately touched Qin's white and tender little hand with his tongue. The latter's body trembled obviously, and a trace of blush climbed onto her pretty face.
"It's delicious!" Ji Jie swallowed the grape and said, "Because I arranged all this!"
After King Qin Zhuang announced Ying Zheng as the crown prince of Qin, Ji Jie immediately sent someone to inform Zhao Ji and asked her to act as planned.
Zhao Ji immediately sent someone to summon Lu Buwei. At the same time, Ji Jie's people sent the news to Yangquan Jun. Yangquan Jun had just suffered a big loss in relation to the prince and was worried about being unable to fight back. He would definitely go there without stopping after getting such tidbits of news. Report to King Qin.
Everyone knows what happened next!
There are two most important links. First, to make Lu Buwei lose his true nature after entering Zhao Ji's room, the amount of aphrodisiac must be just right; second, after Lu Buwei hides, there must be something left at the scene to prove his arrival. The thing I passed was the belt.
Zhao Ji had an unusual relationship with Lu Buwei. She knew that he had a habit of engraving the word "LV" on the back of his belt buckle, so as soon as they met, she helped him unbuckle his belt without mercy.
Lu Buwei also has a habit of carrying poison with him at all times.
King Qin Zhuang came to catch the adulterer. Lu Buwei, who was hiding behind the screen, clearly saw the King of Qin tie the belt around his waist. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the adultery was exposed. Since Ying Zheng was already the prince, it was legal for the Qin State. As the heir, King Qin has no need to live!
The order to poison must come from Lu Buwei, as anyone else may cause civil strife in Qin.
Ji Jie first used Lu Buwei, and then dug holes for him through Zhao Ji, one after another. The most important thing was that Lu Buwei didn't know that he had fallen into the trap.
"So that's it!" After Qin Qing learned the truth of the matter, she looked at Ji Jie with strange eyes and said, "You are the only one who can come up with such a damaging trick!"
Ji Jie was shocked when Qin Qing looked at him, and muttered: "Why do you call me Shunzhaoer? To put it nicely, this is in line with the trend of historical development, but to put it more generally, it is for the sake of the entire Qin family. How can it be called Shunzhaoer?" It’s over!”
In any case, Qin Qing is from the Qin State, and he still has some resistance to things like murdering the monarch.
"What should we do next?" Qin Qing asked.
Ji Jie shrugged and said: "Of course, go to Lu Buwei. I have helped him so much, so it's time to repay us! In this way, you can prepare a gift. It doesn't need to be too expensive, it just has to be meaningful!"
"Okay, I'll get ready right away!"
…
The palace of the King of Qin was filled with cries and shouts. Whether it was sincere or pretentious, it was no longer important.
Ying Zheng was wearing mourning clothes and kneeling in front of the coffin of King Qinzhuang. Zhao Ji beside him had runny nose and tears, but she was very happy in her heart. Not only had she completed the task assigned by her master, but her son would soon be the king. Got it!
Lu Buwei couldn't hide his excitement. He stood on the other side of the coffin, acting like the "person in charge of the scene".
Cheng Qiao and Yang Quanjun rushed to the coffin, Cheng Qiao cried loudly, and Yangquan Jun stretched his head to look into the coffin. The reason for King Qin's violent death was really far-fetched. How could a good man die just because he wanted to?
There must be something fishy in it. Mr. Yangquan took a look and saw that it didn't matter. He saw that King Qinzhuang in the coffin had a dark complexion and dark lips, which was very similar to the way a poisoned person died.
"There is something wrong with the king's death!" Yang Quanjun whispered in Cheng Qiao's ear.
Cheng Qiao immediately got up and asked: "How did my father die? Lu Buwei, what qualifications do you have to stand here?"
Lu Buwei sneered and said: "The king died suddenly. The imperial doctors in the palace and the eunuchs and maids here can all prove it! Why is the old minister standing here? Because the old minister is the prime minister of the Qin State and has presided over many activities such as offering sacrifices to heaven. The king died. , of course I will be responsible for the funeral! If Prince Chengqiao has any doubts about the cause of the king's death, he can ask the imperial doctor, eunuchs and maids. If he has any prejudice against me, Lu Buwei, then fine, let His Highness the Prince choose. A capable minister is responsible for this matter!"
Cheng Qiao was speechless. He suddenly discovered that after the death of King Qin Zhuang, his status in the palace dropped sharply.
