74. Chapter 74 A special gift from the Queen Mother
Fortunately, not long after, Wang Wan and three other people entered the palace to pay homage.
Ying Zheng looked stern and said: "Li Si, I have ordered you to find out what happened between Lao Ai and the Queen Mother. Lao Ai was a eunuch but gave birth to a child with the Queen Mother. This matter has brought shame to the royal family. Investigate it quickly."
Then he paused, turned his head slightly to look at Li Si, and said slowly: "Also, find out how Lao Ai entered the palace, how an unpurified fake eunuch came to the Queen Mother, and see who is so bold!"
"Hi! I accept your order!" Li Si replied with cupped hands. Ying Zheng handed him the bamboo slip with the king's order and waved for him to leave.
"Wang Wan!"
"I'm here." Wang Wan stepped forward to accept the order.
Ying Zheng whispered: "Send someone to monitor Lao Ai's every move to see what he has done recently. In addition, send someone to sneak into his guests and other people to find out what he is and what he is. Be careful not to alert the enemy!"
"Hi! I take your orders!" Wang Wan stepped back.
"Meng Tian, go to the army and discuss with Wang Jian as soon as possible. Select three thousand confidants and elite soldiers in the army to intensify training, and monitor the movements of the army. I am afraid that Xianyang City will undergo changes during the ceremony."
Meng Tian and the three men had already retreated after receiving the order. Ying Zheng sat quietly next to the shorter ones, with his head lowered and saying nothing.
Just when I was hesitating whether to go out, I heard him call me in a low voice, "Qingchi."
I walked towards him and saw the storm in Ying Zheng's eyes. His originally dark eyes became dim and his expression was very depressed. He must not be at peace at this moment.
When I gently came to his side, he hugged my waist before standing up, put his head on my chest, sighed deeply, and said, "Why does my mother always put me in embarrassing situations?"
I wanted to comfort him, but I couldn't find the words. I could only hug him back hard, lean over and let his head rest on my neck, while my head rested lightly on his head, quietly accompanying him.
around him.
Three days later, Queen Mother Zhao Ji sent a special gift.
What is a special gift?!
Because this gift is a particularly large mahogany box with a red cloth tied on it. The visitor said that it was on the order of the Queen Mother and asked Your Majesty to open it in person.
So, the big box was carried into Ying Zheng's study.
Ying Zheng and I stood in front of the box, wondering what the Queen Mother meant?
He pulled me behind him, and then ordered the guards to open the box. Originally, I was worried that some assassin would not jump out of the box, so I clutched Ying Zheng's sleeve tightly. However, the box opened, and a beauty walked out of it, which made me
He and Ying Zheng were a bit dumbfounded.
"By order of the Queen Mother, this is a gift given by the Queen Mother to Your Majesty before the crowning ceremony. Please enjoy it." After passing the words, the visitor bowed and bowed his hands before retreating.
"Your Majesty." A clear and graceful voice came out of the beauty's mouth. If it were the young Zhao Ji, I would not exaggerate to describe it as "the moon is closed and the flowers are ashamed, and the fish is sinking and the geese are falling".
Well, this girl reminds me of a poem: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. She looks at the charming city and then the charming country."
Such a charming beauty is one of the best even in modern times. I secretly laughed at how beautiful Ying Zheng was.
I made a mocking face to Ying Zheng and prepared to leave.
But he grabbed me and said to the waiter: "Carry me down and settle down!"
When the beauty heard this, she was obviously a little surprised. Her watery eyes looked at Ying Zheng shyly and timidly. She nodded delicately and said: "Your Majesty, the music of the slave family is specially serving your Majesty by the order of the Queen Mother."
"I already know, let's go down first!" With that, he waved his hand and turned aside to look at this "special gift".
"Hi!" the chambermaids responded and carried the beauty down together with the box.
Ying Zheng took my hand and pulled me to his side, his eyes roaming over my face, as if he wanted to see me through.
