Eternal traitor

Chapter 333 The Night Watchman
Waking up in the morning, the sun has not yet risen, but it has slowly sunk to the bottom of the valley.The gray sky announced the approaching dawn, and the sky full of stars that could be seen half an hour ago had disappeared.

The guards in the palace have already waited for their shift replacements. The maids, eunuchs, etc. have all changed a group of people. After staying up all night, these night watchmen are already exhausted. They dragged their tired bodies and walked back briskly. Enjoy a wonderful rest time on your own bed.

"what······"

In the distance, Qin Guangyao, who was wearing an armor on his body, let out a lazy breath, stretched his waist and came to his post tiredly.Since there is no one in the main hall at night, he does not need to guard it personally, but it is different during the day.

During the day, hundreds of officials could not help going to court, and they had to guard the safety of King Qin, so before going to court, he needed to come here to guard, and at the same time, his place was also the last barrier.

Before the yawning arm was put down, Qin Guangyao was stunned. There was already a person occupying his position at this time. This person was wearing official clothes and knelt at the door of the main hall. The government, otherwise Qin Guangyao would definitely think it was a stone.

After walking in, Qin Guangyao realized the problem. This person was a familiar face.

"What's wrong with you??"

When he came to Li Hua's side, Qin Guangyao pretended to be normal and asked Li Hua in a low voice.

As if touched by Qin Guangyao's voice, the originally closed eyes slowly opened, the exhausted eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, densely filled with mood, it was because he didn't sleep well last night, right? ?

It's not that Li Hua didn't sleep well, but...he didn't sleep at all.

Ying Zheng wanted to express his "anger" appropriately, and Li Hua had to bear this anger. Ying Zheng didn't send anyone to beat him, so he needed to punish himself to achieve the effect.Although Ying Zheng didn't say it, he had to do it.

The so-called punishment is... Kneeling outside the cold palace gate for a whole night, he did it not only for Ying Zheng, but also for civil and military officials.

Li Hua also wanted to go home, and also wanted to go back to his home and lie on a warm bed to sleep, but the Queen Mother hadn't left yet, and Ying Zheng's anger and filial piety had to be reflected in himself, so he could only suffer.

It's also thanks to Li Hua's approval of a soft fur mat for himself, with several layers of silk under his knees, otherwise he might not be able to wake up that night.

"Kneeling... all night."

Li Hua opened his frozen lips, and replied intermittently.

"Shall I get you a bowl of hot soup?"

Qin Guangyao quietly asked Li Hua. He could tell that Li Hua was about to die. In today's weather, let alone the night, even if it was a bit chilly during the day, he would not die if he knelt outside the palace gate for a whole day. Afraid of peeling off the skin.

"Don't make trouble, the queen mother... has she left?"

Li Hua closed his eyes again, and asked Qin Guangyao inarticulately.However, Qin Guangyao did not answer, but blinked his eyes twice. This is a taboo in the court and cannot be said nonsense, especially Li Hua is still the chief culprit of all this.

Qin Guangyao didn't want to cause trouble for himself, but he was afraid that Li Hua would die at the gate of the hall.

After getting the answer he wanted, Li Hua remained motionless, motionless like a stone.

Empress Dowager Ji had already left the palace early this morning, and was sent away by Ying Zheng with Queen Huahua in person, but only a very few people could know this secret, after all, there was such a big commotion yesterday, and Empress Dowager Ji would go to the court to talk with the king again. It's a bit ugly for the queen mother to fight for the position, and sending her away is also a matter of chatting.

Another two sticks of incense time passed.

The eunuch led the way in front, and behind him, Lu Buwei and other ministers of the court came slowly. After these people took a look at Li Hua, none of them said a word.They could all see that Li Hua had suffered a lot here, with his pale face, stiff body, and weak breath. If he wasn't still breathing, they would even think Li Hua was dead.

The door of the main hall opened slowly, and the courtiers came to their positions with practice, and then waited for the arrival of King Qin and Queen Mother.In the past, before going to court, these people would discuss for a while, but now there is silence in the court hall, few people dare to speak.

The king of Qin ascended the throne, the empress dowager changed, South Korea declared war, and assassinated the king. These things are usually big things, but now they are gathered together. No one wants to be the first bird. They dare to mess around in special times , Talking nonsense, then it is no different from courting death.

"The king is coming."

The chief eunuch Qin Fei yelled loudly, and the courtiers who were originally in a mess took their positions in an instant.

One minute later, Ying Zheng, who was dressed in black royal clothes, came over with several eunuchs, and behind him was the Queen Mother who had changed into the Queen Mother's clothes. After watching the Queen Mother sit down, Ying Zheng sat down.

"Pay homage to the king, the queen mother."

The courtiers below bowed to Ying Zheng and the Queen Mother and put their hands in front of their chests, waiting motionlessly for the reply from above.

"Get up."

Ying Zheng didn't care about the Queen Mother's feelings at all, and directly asked the courtiers to stand up.As for the Queen Mother, she didn't say anything at all, she just watched quietly, watching...
"Thank you king."

The courtiers stood up one by one, looking up at Ying Zheng like a robot, with no expression on their serious faces.

"Has the Taicang order not come today? Has it been reported?"

Ying Zheng looked at an empty space on the right side of the fifth row and asked suspiciously. Above the court hall, there are two rows of civil officials and two rows of military officials. If anyone is not here, the condescending king can see it at a glance.

After Ying Zheng finished asking, the courtier's face suddenly changed. Is Li Hua here?They all knew that Li Hua was here, and he was kneeling outside the palace gate for a long time, how could you not know about this? ?
"Back to your Majesty, Master Li is still kneeling outside the palace gate."

Qin Fei stood up and lowered his head to remind in a low voice.

"Where is he kneeling outside the gate of the palace?" Ying Zheng was "surprised" for a moment, and then asked with a puzzled face, "What is he doing kneeling outside the gate?"

"This..." Qin Fei also just followed Ying Zheng, and he didn't understand the new king's thoughts, so he could only reply: "The king had an order last night, ordering Taicang to stay and wait."

"Oh? How come Gu doesn't remember?"

Ying Zheng frowned and looked at Qin Fei, then looked at Qin Fei angrily: "Taicang Ling knelt outside the palace gate all night, why didn't you come to remind Gu?"
