96. Chapter 96 Life and death go hand in hand
In April 238 BC, Ying Zheng held a crowning ceremony at the Qinian Palace in Yongcheng.
Because before traveling again, I consulted a lot of historical materials about Yingzheng, and I have a very clear memory of this record in the historical records. According to records, Lao Ai, because of his affair with the Queen Mother, was exposed, and took advantage of the crown ceremony to steal the King of Qin's Jade Seal and the Queen Mother's Seal to launch a campaign
Revolted and attacked Qinian Palace.
The crowning ceremony was held at Chen hour, and before the ceremony it was necessary to bathe and burn incense, so Yingzheng had to leave for Qinian Palace one day in advance. Before leaving, he held me in his arms and whispered in my ear: "In Xianyang Palace
Wait for my return."
I, on the other hand, was anxious about the coup he was about to face. I held on to his strong arm tightly without letting go, and begged in a low voice: "Azheng, I want to go with you."
Although I knew that he would definitely return with a complete victory, the historical data recorded that he won the battle, but did not say whether he was injured. The uneasiness in my heart drove me to insist on going with him.
"Qingchi, it may be dangerous for me to go here. It's safest for you to stay in Xianyang Palace." His handsome brows frowned slightly, and his bright black eyes were full of sincerity and determination. After speaking, he raised his hand to hold me back.
The hands holding his shoulders were pulled away.
"No, the place with you is the safest. If you let me stay in the palace alone, I will die of anxiety. Zheng, even if there is an abyss ahead, I will go with you." I didn't want to give up, my hands were no longer there.
Satisfied, she grabbed his clothes and threw herself into his arms, tightly hugging his waist and refusing to let go.
Ying Zheng sighed, pulled my head up from his chest, held my head with both hands, and forced me to look at him.
His eyes flickered, with a complex expression of worry, relief, and determination, and then he seemed to have made a decision. He moved his eyes to my lips again. I knew he wanted to kiss me, so he put his lips on mine without hesitation.
He is entangled, and I want to tell him with my actions that no matter what happens, I will never leave him.
This kiss was lingering and passionate, as if it was our last kiss, and we would keep kissing until the end of time. I don’t know how long it took, but he took me into his arms, put his chin on my forehead, and said softly: "Qingchi, I have you in this life."
I will die without regrets!"
"Why die without regrets?! You will definitely live a long life, and at least you will complete the hegemony in your heart." I raised my head and looked at him with wide eyes, giving him strength and encouraging him.
In this way, the day before Ying Zheng's crown ceremony, I accompanied him in a carriage to the Qinian Palace in Yongcheng.
Along the way, our hands held each other tightly and never let go. Although there were no words, our minds were connected at this time.
As we approached the gate of Yongcheng, Zhao Ji was not seen among the ministers who came to greet her. We did not meet the Queen Mother Zhao Ji until we checked into the Qinian Palace.
The old chamberlain who came to deliver the message, holding the order of the Queen Mother, loudly announced: "The Queen Mother is unwell, so the crown ceremony will be presided over by Changxin Hou Lao Ai." After saying this, he turned around and left, and the palace door was closed tightly.
Entering the Qinian Palace, there was no festive atmosphere as if King Qin was about to hold a crown ceremony. They were all dressed in ordinary clothes. There was not even a piece of red cloth, let alone a red festive lantern. I was secretly angry that Ying Zheng was treated with such courtesy.
.
However, our accompanying guards were all well-trained and prepared fires to cook. It seemed that these abnormalities had nothing to do with it, and Ying Zheng also acted as if nothing had happened.
