Everyone is waiting for the arrival of the orchid, there are too many questions, and they need her, the party, to tell them the answers in person.

It's not okay not to ask Orchid, because everyone is willing to say her name when it comes to Orchid, and even Zhao Ji never thought that she would assassinate Ying Zichu.

The secret in this can only be known through the mouth of the orchid.

But Orchid did not come, and Mrs. Jun had already urged her several times, but Orchid was just casually perfunctory, and told Orchid that since the closed-door lunch was prepared for her, she naturally had to dress up and answer everyone's questions carefully. At least until Zero Feather arrives, she won't show up in advance, lest others have something to say.

Min Dai naturally understood what Hu Ji meant, and she wanted to see if Ling Yu was dead before she could calmly answer everyone in Huayang Palace.

As for the surveillance outside the forest, it had long been removed, because Zero Yu was wholeheartedly healing in the tree hole, and after not saying anything, Mo Wu'an and Peach Blossom no longer asked. Everyone understood Zero Feather's attitude, and as long as she didn't come out of the place of sorrow, she wouldn't say anything more.

The banquet in the hall of Huayang Palace had already been prepared, just waiting for Ling Yu and Hu Ji to come.

It was a matter of palace secrecy, many of the subordinates withdrew, and no one asked Mo Wu'an's identity anymore. In Ying Zheng's words, Mo Wu'an was arranged by him to enter the palace to protect Ling Yu, so he will naturally continue to protect it. And those who escaped, he will not use it anymore.

At the same time, he changed direction and told everyone that as long as Mo Wu'an and Xia Ji met, it would be difficult for Xia Ji not to admit his identity, so as to confirm Mo Wu'an's royal identity. The royal family can fight within itself, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, for the benefit of the entire Great Qin, don't make things difficult for others anymore.

Mo Wu'an is also looking forward to attending lunch, as long as he steps into the gate of Huayang Palace, his identity will be confirmed. Since Xia Ji didn't want to see him, then meeting Mrs. Huayang had to achieve the same effect.

Zero Feather in the tree hole exhaled a breath of turbidity, opened his eyes, walked out, and said as he walked: "Let's go to lunch, let's go to Brother Zheng's first, he must be worried about death if he hasn't gone for so long." As for whether Brother Wu'an can participate in lunch, I can't decide, so naturally I have to let Brother Zheng give you a word of approval to make you feel at ease. ”

Mo Wu'an smiled bitterly: "If you don't say it, I'm really not at ease, I've entered the palace, and with Xiao Ai's temperament, I will definitely not be allowed to enter the door." I can't go to her for the time being, and I can't go to Zizhulin, so I can only go to Huayang Palace. ”

Peach Blossom asked strangely, "Why can't you go to the Purple Bamboo Forest?" I am most familiar with the formation there, as long as I lead the way, there is nothing wrong with walking in and meeting my grandmother. ”

Mo Wu'an could only show a wry smile, and Ling Yu said helplessly: "Back then, Grandma Xia Ji made a move for Brother Wu'an, even if King Qin Wu's kindness was repaid, even if she went again at this time, it is estimated that Grandma Xia Ji would not want to see it." It's good not to see each other, it's embarrassing to see each other, so why bother to see each other again? ”

"It's a matter of time before the identity is restored, but this matter must be done slowly, first sit on the royal identity, let everyone have a bottom in their hearts, and wait for everyone to digest the thoughts of Brother Zheng and several queen mothers, wait for a period of time, and then issue a decree to rewrite Brother Wu'an's name into the family tree, which is the most appropriate way."

"Huayang Palace lunch, after all, is just a family banquet, only a month later, this Qin Palace banquet is announced, is the most suitable time."

Mo Wu'an smiled bitterly: "If this is not the case, the family members of the royal family will not recognize me, who asked me to kill more than a dozen royal people in the Zongren Mansion back then." Fortunately, those are all sinners, and I didn't kill the royal family outside, otherwise it would have been even more difficult to restore my identity. ”

The three of them walked out of the grove and walked towards the small courtyard without a word.

Before they went, there was a man here, and it was Lige.

The two drank wine, and then asked after leaving the song: "People are dead, so you have to think about the living, why do you invite me into the palace at this time?" I shouldn't have entered the palace at this time. Grounding Hu'er That's your husband and wife's business, she must have made you angry, you husband and wife are awkward, don't pull me in, okay. ”

Ying Zheng said bitterly: "Hu'er asked you to bring something, don't think I can't see it." ”

Lige smiled and said: "That's a good thing, it's for Mrs. Huayang, the queen mother's health is too poor, Hu Er always has to respect and filial piety, help her continue her body until the end of the battle of Qin and Chu, you can ask the soil of Chu State." ”

Ying Zheng smiled bitterly: "Over the years, Hu Er is still not sure to stop, and has been doing many things. The battle of Qin and Chu, the secrets of the military, she can actually know it, and she must have planted a lot of people in the army. ”

Lige nodded and said: "That's nature, if you want to survive in the palace, you must pay attention to both inside and outside the palace." Think about it yourself, among your concubines, which one is a good man and a woman? Restless, insert some cronies in the army, how to be down-to-earth. Say, call me here at this time, what can't you think of? ”

Ying Zheng said: "Hu Er has assassinated Ye Zi, she can't tolerate Ye Zi." ”

Li Geyan said: "Women are jealous, just to gain the favor of the king, Lin Ye has indeed dominated you for a long time." As long as Lin Ye is not dead, you can't criticize Hu Er with anything from the past. ”

Ying Zheng said bitterly: "Ye Zi is not dead, but Lin Sheng is dead, and he is still so miserable." ”

Lige said in a deep voice: "Do you think Hu Er did it?" Judging by your expression, it seems that you have decided on this matter. I can only tell you that maybe Hu Er will really kill Lin Sheng, but it is impossible for those assassins to rape her, and there must be someone in this who will fight against Hu Er. ”

"It's impossible for Hu Er to do things that anger your bottom line, if Lin Sheng is killed by Hu Er, it can only mean that Lin Sheng has angered Hu Er's bottom line, and it can't be done if you don't kill it. Only by killing Lin Sheng, you won't be able to see her at most, and it won't make it difficult for you in the future. Hu Er's life, everything he has done, is all for you. ”

Ying Zheng said sadly: "For my sake, can you kill my woman indiscriminately?" She not only killed Lin Sheng, but also killed Ling Yu, and many more people. ”

Lige said as a matter of course: "If I were Hu'er, I would do the same." Do you remember Hu'er's hometown? More than 300 lives in the whole village were burned by Gongzheng's fire, how can you forget such a deep hatred? And Gong Zheng did that, they were all sent by the Nie family, even if Ling Yu forgot it, how could we forget? ”

Ying Zheng looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "This kind of hatred is indeed hard to forget, not to mention that I gave the command of the ranch to Yu'er, Hu Er must feel uncomfortable in his heart." If you don't do this, Yu'er will die sooner or later if she doesn't have the foundation to save her life. ”

Li Geyan said: "This is what they owe to Hu'er, and we owe Hu'er, no matter who she wants to kill, she didn't let me participate." The more this is the case, the more uncomfortable I feel in my heart, such as the assassination of Lin Sheng, and the transfer of many brothers in the family to Zhongnan Mountain, probably because I am afraid that we will be implicated and cause you to misunderstand. ”

"I don't know how Sister Lin Sheng provoked Hu Er, but I know Hu Er's character, even if she wants to kill someone, it is impossible for her to do anything to torture and kill, let alone let the assassin who executes it rape. We can't do this, and Hu Er can't do it, there must be a hidden secret. Maybe Hu Er will bear those things alone, and she can't tell us. ”

"Now I'm worried, even you suspect Hu'er's intentions, let alone others. It is estimated that many people in the palace want her to die now, but we have nothing to do. My brother Yingzheng, please give me an accurate word, even if Hu Er commits a heinous crime, you will send her to the cold palace, and don't hurt her life, okay? Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to go back and explain to the five brothers. ”

Ying Zheng sighed: "My good brother, no matter what time it is, I will not hurt Hu Er, please rest assured." Come, drink with me, now at this time, only you can accompany me to relieve my boredom. ”

"Yes, we drink. ”

The two touched a bottle of wine, talked again, and left the palace after leaving the song. The reason is very simple, because the three of them are here, and they are not in the mood to see Zero Feather.

Looking at the distant song, Ying Zheng was extremely melancholy, and he couldn't tell outsiders a lot of bitterness in his heart. At this point, many people regarded him as the King of Qin, who spoke carefully and did things carefully, and did not treat him like before at all. Only Lige is still so bold, only saying what two men can say, this feeling is exactly what Yingzheng needs.

And Lige also understands Yingzheng's mood, the relationship between the two is so good, Lige has never asked Yingzheng for anything. The more this is the case, the more comfortable the communication between Yingzheng and Lige becomes, because such brotherhood is not mixed with any interests, and there is no obstacle to communication at all.

Looking at Ling Yu, Mo Wu'an, and Peach Blossom, Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wu'an, you see, the king's woman, in the king's house, it will be so dangerous." And none of the protectors I have appointed have ever protected her wholeheartedly except you. Xiao Tao followed her secretly, so it doesn't count my orders, some people don't listen to the king's orders, and you are the king, are you very unhappy? ”

Mo Wu'an said bitterly: "If someone dares to disobey the king's order, it will naturally be very unhappy. If I do it instead, I will naturally have to kill it in order to establish the prestige of the king. ”

Ying Zheng asked rhetorically: "How to kill?" Those who temporarily retreated are all peak powerhouses, and even the royal family worships, don't say that I can't do it, any king of the nations, you can't just kill it. It seems that you haven't seen the Tao clearly, and if you want to restore your identity, you can only think about it in the long run, so as not to go to the Yiling Palace, and then go to the temple to recognize your ancestors and return to the ancestors, there will be many people who hinder your eyes. ”

"There must be a lot of people like that, whoever asked you to kill those sinners who made mistakes in the Zongren Mansion in the first place, even if those people were wrong, it would not be your turn to kill. So let's follow my method, wait for the Qin Palace feast, and then ask the queen mothers to make an edict, this kind of offending thing, let the queen mothers do it, anyway, they are not afraid. But I'm still young, I'm afraid. ”

What else can be said? Mo Wu'an only had a wry smile left. It seems that the king is high, but there are still many things that cannot be done, and people who do not know how to be stoic cannot be kings at all. After going through so much, Mo Wu'an has seen this clearly, and this is where he is not as good as Yingzheng.

If it were before, Mo Wu'an would definitely do everything to kill Ying Zheng, but now he will never think like that again. Because he saw clearly, from beginning to end, Yingzheng never thought of killing him. Even if you want to kill, you can't kill yourself, lest you fall into a brother who kills each other and affects the bad tongue in the future.

Hugging Ling Yu and Peach Blossom, Ying Zheng said: "Yu'er, you are too risky, Xiao Tao, you are still not familiar with the Qin Palace." Maybe for a long time to come, I won't let you stay in the palace, lest you become someone else's pawn, and I don't want you to hide in the tree hole and cry again. ”

The two were about to say something, when they saw a master and servant dressed in fancy clothes and brocade and no makeup walk in. It was none other than Hu Ji and Yao Yao.

I only heard Hu Ji laugh and said: "Sister Zero Yu is indeed too risky, those people are too stupid, they actually used the means I used before to assassinate, how could they successfully kill you?" ”

Hu Ji and Yao Yao bowed to Ying Zheng, Ling Yu returned the salute, and they didn't say a word, and Ying Zheng didn't say anything, but Peach Blossom couldn't help but say: "You admit it, you did the assassination of Lin Ye last time, the same technique, you can naturally do it again." Brother-in-law, you want to send her into the cold palace, she is the culprit who killed Lin Sheng's sister. ”

Hu Ji looked at a few people with a smile, and the rest waited for Ying Zheng to reproach and wait for Hu Ji to deny it. But the conversation between the two in the courtyard was completely beyond their expectations.

Ying Zheng asked calmly: "There is still hatred in my heart?" ”

Hu Ji threw herself into Ying Zheng's arms and whispered: "Some hatred has been forgotten, and some hatred has not been forgotten, because it is new." ”

Ying Zheng sighed bitterly: "Lin Sheng is dead, I won't punish you for anything, but you shouldn't laugh out loud on this occasion." ”

Hu Ji smiled: "Big brother, I killed Lin Sheng because she deserves to die." And why should I kill her? When it was time for lunch, it would naturally be known to several queen mothers, and because of the reason for killing her, they would talk for a long time. ”

"It's best for Ling Yu, Lin Ye and the others not to do anything wrong in the future, otherwise I will still kill, so as not to make it difficult for my eldest brother in the future." I'm mainly here today to ask my eldest brother for an errand, I want to be the leader of the secret guards, without this identity, I don't dare to go to Huayang Palace for dinner. ”

Ying Zheng pondered and asked, "The problem of the secret guard is indeed very big, and there are many people involved this time." ”

Hu Ji caressed Yingzheng's arms, and chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "It's not very big, but very serious." My eldest brother and I are not here, and there is someone who can command them to do things, which is beyond the original intention of setting up secret guards. ”

"Zhao Gao, Wei Lan and others all have a punishment for not sticking to strictly, they have done something wrong with the hard-working mandarin ducks, they have listened to the demagogy of others, and they can't go on an errand in the secret guard. I will kill some people and re-select some people, and I can't let my eldest brother do it, if I want to hate those people who hate me, I can't hate my eldest brother. ”

"With this identity, let's set a tone first, so that those who eat in Huayang Palace, and those who are more angry with me, dare not show it. Back then, Sister Ye Zi's request for the position of Mrs. was stopped by someone, so I was not as stupid as her, I only begged for my eldest brother, and I didn't need to ask other people's opinions at all. ”

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment before he said seriously: "Since you want it, then give it to you, from now on, you will be the leader of the secret guard." ”

Hu Ji chuckled and said, "I knew that my eldest brother would agree, but you were still worried about me, afraid that I would not have the capital to save my life in the palace, so I gave it to me." This position is very suitable for me, after all, the fast camp only has the power to inspect, but not the power to kill, Brother Gong Ming, they dare not kill, all of them are killed by me, and the eldest brother only needs to watch from the sidelines. ”

"There are many people who are lying, and I will find out one by one and punish them appropriately. The secret guard does things, which is naturally in line with the big brother's wishes, and I won't mess around. Some people's temperament really has to be sharpened, otherwise there will be big trouble in the future. ”

Ying Zheng said meaningfully: "Let it go, I need an explanation, what mistake did Lin Sheng make, so that you have to kill her." ”

Hu Ji chuckled and said: "Sister Lin Sheng doesn't die, then there will be more people who die, even in front of Sister Lin Sheng's grave, Hu Er still said such things, maybe even she didn't think about what mistake she made." ”

Ying Zheng pointed to Huayang Palace and said, "Then you guys go quickly, I will listen here." ”

Hu Ji took a few steps back, bowed, and followed the footsteps of Zero Yu, Mo Wu'an, Peach Blossom and others, and walked towards Huayang Palace.

During the whole process, Zero Yu didn't say a word, not even a harsh word......
