The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 657: Terror (asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month~)

For Ying Zheng, everything went smoothly as planned, but now there is a small side effect, which is that this incident has caused great fear to Ying Xin and the original Zhao royal family.

After Queen Zhao Diaochang learned this information, her pretty face turned pale with fright, fear surged in her heart, and she almost fainted again.

Zhao has surrendered for three or four years, how can it still be involved in these things?

Queen Zhao Daochang was very clear about this. As the original royal family of Zhao, could they not take responsibility for this matter?

That's definitely impossible!
God is angry, the king blames himself, and Prime Minister Lu has put all the blame on the civil and military officials. This is something that cannot be handled.

But it is impossible to kill all the people in Zhao, right?

So who should take the blame for this matter in Zhaodi now?

Then my son must be the best candidate! It can only be him.

Zhao Qian has grown up and understands things, but this child has been spoiled by Queen Zhao Daochang since he was young, and he has experienced the disaster of the destruction of his country. Queen Zhao Daochang also taught him to keep a low profile.

My personality is now very twisted. I am willful and stubborn, self-centered, have no independent ability, am timid and fearful, greedy, selfish, and emotionally unstable.

But although not very smart, he is not stupid either.

After learning about this, his eyes rolled back and he fainted from fright.

Queen Zhao Daochang was extremely anxious and wanted to discuss the matter with Guo Kai and Yao Jia, but after thinking about it, she decided that it would be better not to meet them first and instead go to the palace to apologize.

First see if the king is angry. If he is angry, let the king calm down!
Queen Zhao Daochang hurried into the palace to ask for an audience, but Ying Zheng refused to see anyone and was now meditating in the ancestral temple.

Queen Zhao Daochang was really scared this time, and hurried to see Ying Xin again.

At this moment, Ying Xin felt like the sky was falling.

I feel so helpless and speechless that I can't even cry.

Ying Xin really believed what Ying Zheng said, which caused her to really collapse.

Why is this happening!

Qin and Zhao are originally one family. Isn't it good to be a good family now? Why do you have to exclude Daqin? Aren't you living well now?
Our Zhao royal family has wholeheartedly surrendered to the king's embrace, why are you people still unwilling?
What good will it do to anyone if we anger the king?
It’s even worse now. The king is not angry yet, but the sky is angry.

If it is of no use even if Your Majesty prays, then in the next nine years, I am afraid that no one in Zhao will survive.

As a queen, I have a very unfortunate fate. I have been plagued by many disasters. The heavens have condemned the people of Zhao and sent down natural disasters. How can I, as a queen, still have the dignity to rule the country? What qualifications do I have to sit on the throne?

What should the people of Zhao do?
If you suffer divine punishment, even if you want to flee, will other places accept you as a person who has been punished by God?

Thinking of this, Ying Xin almost shed tears. She is really a kind girl.

Ying Xin also went to apologize as soon as possible, but Ying Zheng did not see her. He said that she should calm down for three days, and that would definitely be three days, and she would not see anyone.

After Ying Xin was refused to return to the palace, she was almost in despair and had even thought about asking Ying Zheng to take her position as queen.

But Ying Xin finally gritted her teeth, pursed her lips, held on, and decided to steady herself first.

Tian Mi, Han Lei and the others also returned to the palace trembling. The palace gates were closed tightly, and they decided not to go out for the next few days.

When Ying Xin called them, they knew that the queen would definitely ask what happened, but they really didn't know anything!

The queen knew that she could sleep with the king, so how could she be awake in the middle of the night? How could they know what happened?
By the time they and Ying Xin found out what had happened, they were all numb.

How come it was their turn to sleep with the king, and he was given such an unlucky dream?

Originally, the black bird's dream was a good thing, but this kind of dream was not a good thing. Would the king think that they were unlucky? Would he distance himself from them because of this? Or even deal with them?

After Tian Mi and the others returned to the palace, the little girls held their heads and cried, trembling, frightened and helpless.

When Zhao Daochang arrived later, he saw Ying Xin, who was exhausted and even heartbroken. He secretly groaned in his heart.

Now the only one that all Zhao people can rely on is Ying Xin. They cannot afford to fall into despair. No one wants to become like the Yan family.

After Queen Zhao Daochang paid her respects, Ying Xin just looked up at her, said "no need for the formalities", and said nothing more.

Empress Zhao Daochang hurried forward and advised: "Queen, things have come to this point. The life and death of the people of Zhao depends on you alone. You must cheer up and beg the king for forgiveness."

Ying Xin said weakly: "The king is not seeing anyone now. He is fasting and meditating to prepare for the sacrifice to heaven. I can't see him either." "I can't see him for now, but I can see him later. The king hasn't made any decision about the queen yet, which means that the king doesn't blame the queen and he has the queen in his heart."

"The queen must cheer up. Things are not yet irreversible."

Ying Xin glanced at Queen Zhao Daochang and said, "What I am worried about now is that if the will of the heavens does not change after the king offers sacrifice to the heavens, what will happen to the millions of people in the nine counties of Zhao?"

Empress Zhao Daochang frowned and said, "That is destiny. How can a mortal stop it?"

Ying Xin said calmly: "It is fate that I will lose my position as queen."

"Are you sure you don't know that someone has bad intentions? Qian'er is old, is he involved in this?" Ying Xin's first sentence made Zhao Diaochang stunned, but the sudden second sentence made Zhao Diaochang break out in a cold sweat, and a few drops of cold sweat slid down her forehead and down her fair cheeks.

Ying Xin's power had been built up over the past two years, and now he suddenly attacked, so Queen Zhao Daochang couldn't help but panic.

Queen Zhao Daochang knelt down, tears streaming down her face, wetting her entire pretty face. She wept in a voice full of sorrow and grievance, "What are you saying, Queen? Your Majesty is a saintly monarch rarely seen in the world. I admire you and have the honor to serve you. How could I not know your talents? How dare I have any evil intentions? How could I have any thoughts that would harm your Majesty?"

"I am just a little girl. Although I have not entered the king's palace, I am fortunate to be favored by the king. I only wish to accompany the king occasionally, which is enough for me. The king is the only sun in my heart. I am loyal to the king and the queen. Please understand the queen."

Queen Zhao Daochang wiped her tears with her sleeves, and then cried, "As for Qian'er, no one knows a child better than his mother. Qian'er is dull and can't do great things. Moreover, I have always been strict with him and taught him to be grateful for the virtue of the king. Although Qian'er has no chance to serve the king, Qian'er regards the king as his father in his heart."

"Queen, Qian'er is your nephew, and you know him well. Although I have spoiled him and made him a little willful, this child has no bad intentions. He has neither the intention nor the ability to do so."

"My concubine and I have long been determined to integrate into the Qin Empire. We only want to live a life of wealth and honor, and we have no other desires. Your Majesty, please understand! I know the importance of things, and how could I do something stupid that is beyond my capabilities?"

Ying Xin looked at Queen Zhao Diaochang coldly, her eyes as sharp as cold stars. After a long while, she slowly knocked on the table and said, "Get up. I believe you are not so stupid. You know the methods of the Black Feather Guards. Don't think you can hide it from them."

Queen Zhao Diaochang's face was full of tears, and her frail body could not even get up. After hearing what Ying Xin said, she finally stopped crying temporarily, but she still sobbed continuously.

Ying Xin waved her hand, and the maid beside her hurriedly helped Queen Zhao Diaochang up and asked her to sit down.

"Whether there is a destiny or not, it is a very foolish thing to go against the king."

"If something really happened, no one can save you and your son this time. But if nothing really happened, you don't have to worry. The king is very observant and will not wrongly accuse you. The king values ​​feelings, so don't worry."

Zhao Diaochang nodded, still wiping her tears.

Ying Xin continued, "I don't worry about you, but you must keep an eye on Qian'er! Qian'er is still young, and if he is bewitched by others, it will be a disaster for all of us."

"I understand, Queen, please rest assured. I never let Qian'er contact the old ministers, even with Guo Kai and others. For such important matters, I never dare to slack off in my daily teaching. Although Qian'er is dull, he knows the importance of things."

Ying Xin nodded gently: "It's good that you know the severity of the situation. Go back now. It's not a good thing to be here with me now. Remember, try not to go out before the dust settles."

Queen Zhao Daochang nodded gently, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "We all have a clear conscience about this matter. Please cheer up, Queen. All the people in Zhao rely on you for their survival."

Ying Xin waved her hand: "I know, no matter what, I will insist on keeping my position as queen, go back."

After Queen Zhao Daochang bowed and left, Ying Xin ordered the eunuch beside her, saying:

"Take my Phoenix Seal and go to Yan Jin, and tell him my imperial decree, ordering him to keep a close watch on all members of the old Zhao royal family and all high-ranking officials of the old Zhao. These people are not allowed to leave Xianyang without the king's order."

"Anyone who makes unusual movements can be arrested directly at your convenience."

"Order Yan Jin to find all those who have evil intentions in Zhao, sort them out and prepare to submit them to the king."

"You are not allowed to go secretly. You must go openly. After Yan Jin receives the order, order him to draft a document for this matter, stamp it with my phoenix seal, and submit it to the cabinet for record."

Queen Zhao Diaochang returned home worriedly. Ying Xin was too serious today, a serious look she had never seen before.

Fortunately, the kind nature remained, and the pity was over. After all, they were a family, and they had the bond of fighting together. Thinking of the friendship, they would not really push their own mother and son out as scapegoats.

But this is also a good thing. At least the queen has cheered up. As long as she doesn't think about retreating directly, there is still a chance.

No one can see each other during this period.

After Zhao Daochang returned home, she closed the door and refused to see anyone. She did not go out of the front door or the back door.

It wasn't just Queen Zhao Daochang who was terrified. All the people of Zhao who knew what happened in the court today were terrified.

Everyone is waiting for the sacrifice to heaven three days later.
