"Hahaha, it turns out that such an interesting thing happened in Zhiyang Palace. Zheng'er, why didn't you tell me until now? You should have told me such an interesting thing earlier." In Xingle Palace, Zhao Ji brazenly shouted
Smiling.
Who would have thought that there would be such vicious people in the world who would even murder their own grandmother, and who would have thought that there would be such stupid people in the world who would seek benefits for themselves by murdering their grandmother.
And all this happened to Queen Mother Xia.
At this time, Zhao Ji could already imagine how the Queen Mother Xia would feel after experiencing such an incident. She was probably heartbroken.
However, Zhao Ji did not sympathize with her mother-in-law at all. Instead, she felt that she deserved it, otherwise she would not have laughed so happily just now.
"However, Zheng'er, since Queen Mother Xia has been plotted and her life is not long, why do you want to save her? Isn't it a good idea to just sit back and do nothing?" Zhao Ji put away her smile and asked Ying Zheng.
As Lai Ai fell into the trap, those in Zhiyang Palace completely ceased their activities.
Maybe it was because she was really disappointed with Cheng Xi, or maybe because she wanted to save Cheng Xi's life and reputation, Queen Mother Xia was completely at ease.
"After all, she is my grandmother. Besides, it's just a simple effort to save her," Ying Zheng said.
"Is that just that?" Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zhengdao with suspicious eyes.
"Is there any other reason?" Ying Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Maybe it really is." Zhao Ji said with an expression as if everything was under my control.
"Really? Then I would like to hear what the queen thinks is the reason," Ying Zheng said.
"Isn't it because of Han Ji's begging?" Zhao Ji said with a bit of fun.
"Is this the reason the Queen Mother said?" Ying Zheng said without changing his expression.
Zhao Ji's focus on many things is really hard to describe. Why is she always able to see things that others can't see or even think of?
"Isn't this enough?" Zhao Ji said, looking at Ying Zheng with burning eyes.
"That's enough." Ying Zheng said without bothering to defend.
Zhao Ji was very disappointed by Ying Zheng's attitude. She wanted to see Ying Zheng defending himself instead of being so indifferent.
"What about Bai Ling? She is the wife of Chang'an Jun, why should she work for you?" Zhao Ji said unwillingly.
"Is it strange that the people of Qin are loyal to me, the King of Qin?" Ying Zheng said without changing his expression.
"Bai Ling has completely broken up with Cheng Yu this time. Even the Queen Mother Xia will hate her, and all she did is for you. Isn't it strange?" Zhao Ji leaned forward slightly,
Looking at Ying Zhengdao.
"It's not surprising at all." Ying Zheng still looked calm and relaxed.
"No, this is very strange. You must know that over there is her husband, and Zheng'er, to be honest, even if you are the king, the king is too far for a woman, while the husband is very close."
Zhao Ji said.
"The King of Qin is far away from a woman, but a husband may not be close to a woman. The person closest to a woman may be someone else." Ying Zheng lowered his head and looked directly at Zhao Ji.
"Who is that person?" Zhao Ji asked.
"The queen mother really doesn't know?" Ying Zheng said.
"Although I already understand, I would rather hear it from Zheng'er himself," Zhao Ji said.
"A person who can fulfill all her fantasies." Ying Zheng said.
"I see." Zhao Ji said as she stepped back from Ying Zheng without leaving a trace.
"In the final analysis, this matter is a blessing. If Cheng Yu succeeds, it will be a huge trouble for Zheng'er. However, Zheng'er, you really intend to solve it so easily.
Is Cheng Long guilty of a serious crime this time?" Zhao Ji asked.
"What else can I do if I don't understand? Should I kill him?" Ying Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Even if we can't kill him, we can't let him go so easily."
"After all, I am the elder brother. I always have to be a little tolerant towards my only younger brother. Besides, Zhiyang Palace has forgiven him, so I don't want to go too far." Ying Zheng said.
"That's too much for him." Zhao Ji said angrily.
"This matter cannot be rushed. Mother, haven't you heard of the story of Duan and Yan of Zheng Bo?" Ying Zheng said.
"Uncle Zheng? Which Zheng family is he from?" Zhao Ji said in puzzlement and confusion.
"Mother, when you are fine, you should read more books." Facing Zhao Ji, who looked very confused at this time, even Ying Zheng felt helpless.
"Are you mocking me?" After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Ji suddenly became unhappy.
······
A big prison.
Zhao Gao looked at Lao Ai who showed no sign of fear. Given his character, he had to admire Lao Ai's state of mind at this time.
No matter who he is, a person who can remain calm even when death is imminent is enough to be admired just for his fearlessness of life and death.
"Speaking of which, I would also like to call you Senior, Hiding the Sun." Zhao Gao said slowly.
"Senior? Which of the Eight Swords of the Yue King are you?" Lao Ai said with a bit of a smile at this time.
"No, the reason why I call you senior is because the net I am now in charge of is the Xianyang tribe you built before." Zhao Gao said.
"It turns out it's you. It seems that the king trusts you very much. However, the me now may very well be you in the future." Lao Ai said.
"All of this really depends on the trust of the king. As for the future you mentioned, who can know what will happen in the future," Zhao Gao said.
"Ha, do you really think the king will trust you?" Lao Ai said with a cold smile.
"Is this important?" Zhao Gao said calmly.
"Yes, is this important? As long as you follow the king's arrangements honestly, that's all." Lao Ai said with a bitter smile.
"Junior, I wish you good luck, and I also wish the unlucky Queen Mother Xia and the stupid Lord Chang'an good luck." Lao Ai said, with two gleams of light shooting out of her eyes.
"None of this is something senior needs to worry about anymore," Zhao Gao said.
"Yes, I'm going to die, but what's so scary about death? A true man, if you can't enjoy a four-horse ride in life, you should be punished with a five-horse ride in death. This is not considered a once-in-a-lifetime experience in this world." Lao Ai said proudly.
said.
Lao Ai knew very well that for his crimes, he was not worthy of the death penalty.
"Senior is so heroic, but unfortunately, senior may be disappointed." Zhao Gao said inexplicably.
"What did you say?" Lao Ai couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. Now that things had happened, he was no longer afraid of death, but he was afraid of dying in obscurity.
"Senior will understand soon." Zhao Gao said and retreated from the cell.
Soon, Lao Ai understood what Zhao Gao meant, and saw people constantly walking into the cell carrying bricks and stones. Under the hands of the craftsmen, a wall was quickly erected.
"Kill me quickly, I don't want to die like a mouse." Lao Ai shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, there was no sound in the cell to answer him except the sound of the wall being built up.
As time went by, Lao Ai completely fell into darkness.
He felt aggrieved, he didn't understand, he didn't know why fate was so cruel to him, and even the way he died was so ridiculous.
He can die. When he embarks on the path of pursuing power, he is prepared to succeed or succeed. He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of dying in obscurity.
At this time, Lao Ai was truly desperate.
Little did he know that when his name was Lao Ai, his fate had already been decided.
Listening to Lao Ai's voice, which became weaker and weaker as the high wall was built, a strange smile flashed across the corner of Zhao Gao's mouth.
There is nothing more heart-wrenching than killing people.
