Winter is getting worse, and the cold weather in the north is snowing lightly.

The snowflakes fell in Xianyang City, and people didn't pay much attention to it, because such weather was too common. There is only one thing that people pay attention to, that is, the King of Qin who came out of Yihuan Courtyard and the woman he held in his arms.

Ying Zheng did not sit in the royal car, but held Lin Sheng's body and walked slowly on the streets of Xianyang. So people don't know that the woman King Qin is holding is just a cold corpse.

Many windows opened, and the Qin people smiled from afar, casually joking at each other. The king of his own family is amorous, and every time he goes out, he will always bring some beauties back to the palace from the people, and this kind of thing has long been accustomed to it, and it is not strange.

Especially the woman in his arms, her head has been hidden in King Qin's arms, and she is shy and afraid to show it, which makes many Qin people laugh more than once. King Qin's actions may be bold and exceed the etiquette of kings, but the Qin people with a strong atmosphere do not feel that there is anything wrong, only such a King of Qin can make the Qin State look at the Central Plains and be the emperor of the unified world.

But they didn't know that it wasn't that the woman didn't want to show her head, but that she was already dead. Her whole body was covered by King Qin's coat, and if she opened it and looked at it, there was no place where she could still see her complete skin. Especially her face, which has long been ruined beyond recognition, with such a face, how dare King Qin let her show her embarrassment again.

Hearing the laughter of the Qin people, the ministers who followed behind him didn't dare to speak, let alone show any sad looks, because King Qin's face still had a little smile. It seems to tell the people of the entire Xianyang City that he has brought back a beautiful woman back to the palace, in this case, it can appear that the King of Qin is strong and strong, and he is no longer like the previous sick kings, who can lead everyone to the hegemony of the world.

In this situation, the people who followed Ying Zheng's side felt depressed, and they had nowhere to vent in one breath. On that barely smiling face, deep down, I'm afraid the grief is indescribable.

Ying Zheng's stoic heart is magnified at this moment, and countless people in the know can understand this. King Qin is very tolerant, from before ascending the throne, to after waiting for the throne, until now, he has endured many sore spots that others cannot understand.

Just as Ying Zichu taught him back then, if you want to be a successful king, you must have a stoic heart and be able to endure what others can't endure. Those who cannot bear it will not be able to be kings. Yingzheng did a good job, he not only had to endure the guidance of the three queen mothers, but also endured all kinds of open and secret battles in the palace, and even more endured all kinds of quarrels in the court, and tried to balance the forces of all parties.

He is also enduring it now, he can't let the people of Xianyang City know that he is carrying a corpse home, otherwise the next day, there will definitely be an uproar and people's hearts are unstable. Perhaps careerists will take advantage of this and spread the scandal of King Qin among the people, but as long as it is not exposed on the spot, there will naturally be ways to suppress it afterwards. As for how to use public opinion, Ying Zheng is more familiar than anyone else.

Walking through the street and entering the palace gate, the ministers stopped, and when the palace gate closed, all the ministers whispered and exchanged their opinions.

They know that Ying Zheng has shown his attitude in such a situation. The person who killed Lin Sheng, he will definitely investigate to the end, and whoever dares to jump out at this time to stop the arrest camp from investigating the case will wait for the head to fall to the ground. With such an attitude, it shows what kind of status Lin Sheng occupies in his mind, warning everyone in the palace of something.

In the past, all he brought back were living people, but this time, he brought back a corpse, and with such an attitude, he declared his sovereignty to the entire Qin Palace. In this place, who is the master, who can do things unscrupulously and without scruples. At the same time, he also declared to the Qin Palace that he loved Lin Sheng, and the extent of this love had reached.

At least so far, except for one Lin Sheng, Ying Zheng has not hugged a concubine so intimately in front of the palace outside the palace.

The people in the palace all looked at Ying Zheng, their news was very circulating, and they naturally knew the news that Lin Sheng was dead. Now everyone wants to know, where will Yingzheng bury her? Is it the Bell Hall or the Yiling Hall?

Zhong Li, Lin Ye and others followed, and they very much hoped that Lin Sheng could be buried in the Zhong Palace, so as to establish the prestige of the Zhong Palace. But they also know that this is simply impossible. Lin Sheng's death, the first thing to bear the brunt of is that there is a problem in the Zhong Palace, when the investigation begins, it will affect many people in the Zhong Palace, how can Ying Zheng bury Lin Sheng in the place where she murdered her.

When people thought that they would be buried in the Yiling Hall, the more they looked at it, the more confused and even frightened. Because Ying Zheng didn't take the road to the Yiling Hall at all, but went directly to Huayang Palace.

Even Ying Ai of the Yiling Palace, with the support of the palace maid, came to the gate of the Yiling Palace, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "The prince's brother is unwilling to send Lin Sheng back, because he doesn't trust the Yiling Palace, that is, he is disappointed in me." I can fight, I can fight, but I can't get back my love, so what's the point of what I work for? ”

The chef persuaded bitterly: "Master, you can't go out of the temple gate, you have been grounded. Although this is nothing to us, the Yiling Hall will still allow you to move around freely, but when you walk out of this palace gate, the king blames it, and we can't explain it. ”

Ying Ai smiled bitterly: "I know that it is difficult for my family to do it, and I have exceeded the rules by allowing me to move around freely." But the eldest brother in charge, Xiao Ai had to step out of this palace, Lin Sheng is a person from my Yiling Palace, if he is not buried at home after death, it is a suspicion of me. I can bear all the responsibilities and accept any punishment, but this distrust is the most terrifying thing for me. ”

"I have to say something to the prince's brother, no matter how bad I am, no matter how much I deceive everyone, I won't mess around with my life in the Yiling Palace. Sister Lin Sheng's death, it's like the Yiling Hall lost her eyes, no matter how well the plan is, it will be extremely difficult to execute, which already makes me feel painful, after all, there are too few people in the family. If you lose this trust again, in the long run, the status of the Yiling Hall will plummet, and you will often be bullied in the future. ”

"I can see it, we don't know who the ultimate beneficiary is, but the ultimate victim is only our Yiling Palace. Without Lin Sheng, it will be difficult to move an inch inside and outside the palace for a long time, because the speed of our transmission of news is too slow, and it will take a lot of time to reorganize the new communication method. Even now, the dumb chef and the shallow have lost contact with us, and they should be on their way back to ask me why I didn't let Lin Sheng summon them. ”

"This kind of questioning is estimated to happen every day, because the family members outside the palace are all one-line contacts, and they can't find Lin Sheng, so they can only enter the palace and ask me. They must have thought that Lin Sheng didn't send the voice to them, and I ordered it to do it, after all, I had played that way before to test their loyalty. But this time, I really didn't mean to joke, but Sister Lin Sheng really died. ”

"I'm smart, what the prince's brother didn't expect, why didn't I think of it? Lin Sheng doesn't have a strong person around to protect her, why didn't I send you to Yihuan Courtyard in advance to protect her? Let her be left alone and killed, and I have a great responsibility. ”

"So this time, I have to step out of the temple gate, and I must not wait until my sister's body is buried, and it will be too late to ask anything. Restless buried in the Yiling Palace, the prince's brother must have his own ideas, I must know in order to be at ease, and it can be regarded as reassuring the family. Otherwise, lying on the bed, there is no mind to recover at all, let alone train the royal family exercises. ”

Ying Ai has made up her mind, and no matter who stops her, she can't stop her from asking.

The chef was in a dilemma, and when he didn't know what to do, Granny Mo appeared in front of the door and sighed: "Prepare a stretcher, there is an old woman who will personally escort the princess to go, and you are not allowed to prepare a frame, so you can carry it on a stretcher." With the king's heart, even if there are complaints, he doesn't want to see the princess wronged. ”

Ying Ai was very smart and said eagerly: "Mother-in-law is right, after all, during the punishment period, even if you are a little cold, you must have the appearance of being punished." Otherwise, the other people in the palace will chew their tongues behind their backs. ”

found a stretcher, and two courtyard maids carried Ying Ai, escorted by the chef and Granny Mo, to Huayang Palace.

Seeing Ying Zheng coming in the direction of Huayang Palace, Mrs. Huayang and Min Dai couldn't sit still, and Mrs. Huayang asked, "Xiao Min, what does Zheng'er mean?" It's okay to go back to the palace with Lin Sheng's corpse, but the burial place shouldn't be in Huayang Palace, which will attract a lot of right and wrong for Huayang Palace. ”

Min Dai frowned, shook his head and said, "Who can guess the king's thoughts? The king must have had his own ideas. Grandma Huayang, although Huayang Palace is the master of the harem, she must not do anything to stop the king. The entire Qin Palace, or what the king says, may make you angry, but for the sake of the Mi family, you can't do anything disobedient to the king in public. ”

Mrs. Huayang sighed: "Where will I stop it, Zheng'er is very sad now, I don't object to what he wants to do, I will only fully support it." I just want to ask, what does he mean by doing this? This question, not only do I want to ask, but I guess Xiao Ai also wants to ask, Zhongli and others also want to ask. ”

Min spoke: "Then when the king chooses a place and starts to bury, I will help my grandmother to ask." Old incense, prepare more incense burners to warm up grandma, although at the door of the house, but grandma's body can't stand the wind cold, I will use internal force to help the past, it should be fine. ”

Lao Xiang obeyed the order and hurriedly prepared the incense burner in case it was replaced at that time.

Ying Zheng arrived with Lin Sheng's corpse, and the people of the entire Huayang Palace moved, where Ying Zheng went, there were many people who cleared the snowy ground on the road in advance, and they must not let the king slip and fall, otherwise their lives would be lost.

Ying Zheng did not enter Huayang Palace, but held Lin Sheng's body and walked all the way to the backyard of Huayang Palace. There is also a small tomb there, where all the people who are buried are people of the court with status, and under the signal of Ying Zheng, the subordinates set aside a place in a certain courtyard.

This location is a place for the people of the palace to stay temporarily after worshipping. Ying Zheng occupied this eye-catching position, that is, let all the people who came to worship, the first one to worship was Lin Sheng, and Fang seemed to attach importance to Ying Zheng to Lin Sheng. This allows people to see the weight that Lin Sheng occupies in the mind of King Qin.

waved away the subordinates, Ying Zheng picked up the soil with his own hands, did not use any tools, and dug the pits one by one with his hands, and the people around him were terrified.

Lin Ye knelt in front of Ying Zheng and cried bitterly: "Big brother, you are the king of Great Qin, you can't do such a thing yourself, Sister Lin Sheng can't stand it, and she won't be at ease after she dies." ”

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Don't cry, whoever cries will get out of me." ”

Lin Ye was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry anymore, so he was pulled up by Zhongli and stepped aside.

I saw Ying Zheng saying while digging: "I promised Sister Lin Sheng that when she returns to the palace, I will give her the title of beauty and find a suitable palace for her to live in." It's a pity that because of my negligence, she died outside. If I don't find a place for her to live in, I won't be at ease, and I won't have the heart to deal with anything else. ”

"Don't persuade me, I have made up my mind, and whoever dares to stop me will wait to die. It's a pity that she died too early, and she didn't even have time to canonize her, so she could only be posthumously sealed. ”

Mrs. Huayang's voice came from behind him, and said, "You can posthumously seal Lin Sheng as Mrs. now, I have no problem with Xiaomin." ”

Ying Zheng looked up at Mrs. Huayang and Min Dai who arrived, shook his head and said bitterly: "Not for the time being, it's not time yet." ”
