Lin Ji followed Zheng Lixin into the hospital. The small courtyard was surrounded by green bamboos, but a large peach tree with lush branches was planted in the middle.
During this season, peaches elsewhere are just about the size of egg yolks and are green and unripe.
But the peach tree in the small courtyard grew so brightly red that its branches were covered with heavy branches.
The thatched hut directly opposite was kept spotlessly clean.
The bamboo curtain is rolled up high, and a small, slightly worn, square table is placed in front of the window.
Four kinds of side dishes, with a good mix of hot and cold meat and vegetables.
Two pots of soju are warm in the bowl, and the aroma is fragrant.
"Tianguan, please!" Zheng Lixin gave in.
Lin Ji and Zheng Lixin could be regarded as old friends meeting again, so there was no need to be polite and they sat down cross-legged.
The woman named Qin Lan poured wine for the two of them, bowed to them and left the house, sitting directly under the peach tree with her chin in a daze.
Lin Ji glanced through the window and said, "Is he the son of Empress Mu?"
"Yes and no." Zheng Lixin said ambiguously.
"Oh?" Lin Jiqi said, "How can this be said?"
Zheng Lixin raised his glass with a long sigh and said, "Come on! Heavenly Official! After such a catastrophe, we can still reunite with Heavenly Official. This is considered a happy event anyway! Let's drink this cup first!"
"Okay!" Lin Ji picked up the cup, clashed with Zheng Lixin and drank it all in one gulp.
The wine was dry in the throat and had a faint bitter taste.
Zheng Lixin put down his wine glass, looked at the lonely figure of the woman under the peach tree outside the window and said, "The flowers in the imperial city are falling everywhere! Hey! Speaking of which, Miss Lan is also a miserable person!"
"Before she was born, my mother became a walking corpse."
When Lin Ji heard this, he frowned slightly, but he vaguely guessed something.
Sure enough, without waiting for him to ask, Zheng Lixin continued: "The Empress Mu is indeed a bit petty and cannot bear the power of her mother. She only cares about the prosperity of her Mu family, helping her father fight for official positions, and supporting her younger brother. However, she
Although the evil is hateful, it is nothing more than that. At most, there are more corrupt officials vying for power and profit in the court. Without him, Prime Minister Mu has others. Then there is another scoundrel in the capital who is eyeing the name of the emperor's relative. Add him to the list.
It’s okay.”
"But in fact...from that night on, Queen Mu was no longer Queen Mu. Of course, Emperor Pei hadn't ascended the throne at that time, so she was naturally not the queen, just Princess Pei."
Zheng Lixin grabbed the wine bottle and served it to Lin Jiman, and poured another glass for himself.
He continued, minding his own business: "That night, the chicken lady was shocked, and all the officials in the capital were killed. Supervisor Tiansi also cooperated surprisingly well and blocked the intersections. I always felt that this matter was a little strange,
So I avoided Gao Qunshu and sent some reliable people to investigate secretly."
"Who knows, this investigation doesn't matter. There are more and more flaws. I thought that Gao Qunshu ran away, so there was no need to continue this matter! But it wasn't until the fall of the Qin Dynasty that a new clue suddenly came, and this was finally
The truth is revealed! It was while I was waiting for the last clue that I missed the best opportunity to escape from the capital, and then I encountered the bandits."
Zheng Lixin raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp: "As early as eighteen years ago, Queen Mu was taken over and controlled by someone from the Palace of Eternal Life."
"It can also be said that the arrogant Empress Mu who we will see wearing a phoenix crown and riding an imperial chariot in the future is just a body. The one who controls her is the witch Jialuo from the Palace of Eternal Life."
"She was a disciple of Zhang Mi in her previous life, and she had been lurking beside Emperor Pei for a long time under the orders of Si Wuming."
"The so-called blood exchange at Kowloon Terrace started as early as eighteen years ago. It's just that there is no medicine to supplement it, so it's not noticeable! The replaced Eunuch Chu was just for show, deliberately attracting Qin Ye's attention
The introduction. The real hidden piece has been dropped long before the chess game begins!"
Lin Jiqi said: "Eighteen years ago? How could Si Wuming be so sure that Qin Ye would choose Qin Pei as emperor?"
Zheng Lixin smiled and said: "You and I both know that the Qin family is called the emperor of the world, but its foundation is in the aristocratic family. The descendants with excellent talents will never let them wear dragon robes. Those who are not scheming and have no power.
, the Qin family will not push him to the throne to be laughed at by the world. And among the nineteen sons of the younger generation of the Qin family, apart from these two, there are only three or four who are young and old, excluding those with physical discomfort. "
"The influence of Jia Luo's heart and ears makes his plans strong, and the power of the Palace of Eternal Life to trap and ambush makes others' plans weak. Qin Pei's status as an emperor will naturally appear, and the future emperor will naturally not be Qin Pei.
No one else!"
"Although the Nagara Witch has been reincarnated, her nature is hard to change. She even sucks the blood of living people once a month. And the amount will increase! Gao Qunshu may not know it at first, but as a prisoner, he
Chief Tiansi, what happened under his nose this month has naturally been hidden from him for a long time. It just so happens that he also wants to use this to break away from the shackles of Da Qin and simply retreat...even!"
Zheng Lixin said, holding the wine glass tightly and rattling it, gritting his teeth and said: "Even deliberately made it convenient! That night, the screams resounded throughout the capital! A total of 1,168 people! All of them died.
In the hands of the witch Jia Luo! He... Gao Qunshu just stood with Qin Pei all night and listened to it all night! "
"Qin Pei thought it was Gao Qunshu's trick! But he didn't know that the murderer behind it was actually the queen!"
Lin Ji raised his head and asked, "Then how could Qin Ye not see it?"
"Qin Ye?!" Zheng Lixin snorted with great disdain: "He was destined to be told by Si Wu. On the same night, an uninvited guest came to the Qin family's ancestral mausoleum, guarding three thousand guards.
No one was spared, they were all reduced to bones!”
"Who else but Si Wuming could have such means? He deliberately lured Qin Ye to the ancestral mausoleum! Even if Qin Ye found out about the changes in the capital afterwards, he must have thought that Empress Mu's body was taken away in
What happened that night thus covered up the secret method of blood transfusion that lasted for more than ten years!"
"The reason why Qin Ye remained calm was because he thought his plan was more subtle. He wanted to use his plan to let Si Wuming destroy the agreement he made with Mr. Lan thousands of years ago, so as to monopolize the world's luck.
, From then on, the Qin family has been the dominant one for a long time! And he can also take advantage of this opportunity of great fortune to leap to the top of the world!"
"It's just that Qin Ye's plan started when the chessboard landed. He never expected that Si Wuming would make the first move. Even Qin Pei, the chess piece he chose, was already decided by Si Wuming for him.
!”
"From the beginning to the end, Qin Pei, who was a three-party chess piece, had no clue. Qin Ye saw through most of the chess, but unfortunately missed one move. Gao Qun looked on from the outside of the bookstore, knowing the secret, but not knowing why. The real plan was made early and finally won.
It’s just him, Si Wuming!”
Lin Ji picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then gently put it back on the table and said: "Before coming here, I met Mu Xiang and his daughter. They were both planted with vaginal seeds. Before I could ask the truth, they died on the spot.
Already."
"Hmph!" Zheng Lixin snorted coldly and cursed: "Those are just discarded chess pieces! In his opinion, among the billions of living beings in the world, who is not a chess piece? Who cannot die?"
When he said this, Zheng Lixin turned his head and looked at the lonely figure under the tree outside the window, and said with guilt: "But now, I have become the person I hate!"
Lin Ji was stunned and suddenly understood what he meant by doing it as a last resort! (End of chapter)
