Da Qin: I became friends with Zhao Zheng

Chapter 130 Chapter 130: Castrate him before execution

Yao Xing pulled out a knife and cut a piece of handkerchief in half, then handed it to the palace maid who just spoke.

Needless to say, the meaning of "send to the Queen Mother", Zhao Ji must also understand.

Yao Xing sometimes really hopes that Zhao Ji is not the Queen Mother, but just an ordinary woman who adopted her back then. In that case, there would not be so many things.

I and Zhao Zheng will be a pair for life in this era. We will grow up together with Zhao Zheng, get married naturally, realize our ambitions together, have children, and grow old together.

After all the confessions of Lao Ai were compiled, Li Si submitted them to Zhao Zheng alone after some modifications.It was originally planned that Zhao Zheng would accuse Lu Buwei of treason, but Zhao Zheng refused to mention it after being silent.

Yao Xing went to deliver snacks to Zhao Zheng, and happened to meet him, so he eavesdropped for a while in the back hall.

As Yao Xing expected, Zhao Zheng did not believe that Lu Buwei would rebel, and did not want to kill Lu Buwei.

For the king, the authenticity of the evidence is not important, what is important is the king's thoughts and decisions.

I just didn't expect that Zhao Ji cared so much about Lao Ai and the two children, that she even threatened them with death in the palace, and even left a letter saying that she would exchange her life for the lives of the two children.

A piece of white silk was hung on the beam. If the guards outside heard the sound of the stool falling and went in to check, Zhao Ji might have really hanged herself.

Zhao Zheng was not worried about Zhao Ji's injury. He knew his mother, and this was probably just Zhao Ji's trick to make him soft-hearted and force him to compromise due to concerns about his reputation.

If he allowed his mother to commit suicide in the palace, his reputation would be ruined and he would be scolded by the people of the Six Kingdoms.

It can only be said that Zhao Ji underestimated his son's cruelty.Ever since Zhao Ji arranged for someone to poison Yao Xing with the intention of extinguishing Zhao Zheng's heir, he had only resentment towards this mother.

"Those involved in Lao Ai's rebellion will be exiled to the army for three years in the lighter case, or exiled to Shu in the worst case. The punishment of Lao Ai and his two sons will be decided by the Queen. You will supervise the punishment, and the Queen Mother will observe the punishment." Zhao Zheng ordered everyone except Lu Buwei to The punishment was set, and even Zhao Ji fulfilled the promise she made to Yao Xing.

Yao Xing knew her own weight and would not force Zhao Zheng to accuse his mother, but he had to let Zhao Ji taste the pain in his heart.

Yao Xing pushed the door open and walked in: "Your Majesty, the political affairs are heavy and cannot be done in one moment. Have some refreshments and take a rest!"

The status of women in the Qin State is not low, and Zhao Zheng trusts Yao Xing, so his study, bedroom, and Yao Xing are not guarded. Yao Xing can come and go freely, and there is no need to avoid suspicion from courtiers.

"The queen is here, I am talking about you." Zhao Zheng stretched out his hand and went over to Yao Xing.

Yao Xing walked up slowly, served tea, held Zhao Zheng's hand, and sat with him.

"How does the queen think Lao Ai and her son should be punished?" Zhao Zheng asked.

When Yao Xing's hatred was at its peak, she had already thought of dozens of ways to kill Lao Ai, but now she didn't need to think about it at all: "Conspiracy is a serious crime, and the nine tribes should be punished. But since the Queen Mother favors Lao Ai so much, and we are her sons and daughters-in-law, we won't be here." Let’s go after his family!”

"Lao Ai gave me the punishment of being beheaded, and my second son..."

Yao Xing hesitated, Lao Ai's crime was extremely heinous, and Yao Xing showed no mercy.But for two innocent children, even if they knew they were bound to die, there was no way to talk about their capital punishment in an understatement.

After all, murder and torture are two different things.

"The second son shall be punished together." Zhao Zheng said what Yao Xing wanted to say but couldn't bear to say.

Yao Xing nodded and glanced at Li Si below: "Lao Ai was granted the title of Marquis in the name of a servant. Now he has committed a serious crime. Before being punished, his name as a servant should be true."
