"Cough cough!"
Qin Zhao was about to tease Nangong Ling when he suddenly heard Qi Yan Su Luo's meaningful light cough.
So he stopped his naughty hand.
He looked at Yin Xuan and said, "Her illness is a bit strange. Let me take her back to my residence to treat her. Does anyone have any objections?"
Nangong Ling naturally supported Qin Zhao. "I will prepare a carriage for my master."
Meng Huilan was also worried about Yin Xuan's health and did not object.
A few people returned to Zhao Yang Princess Residence.
To facilitate taking care of Yin Xuan, Meng Huilan also followed along.
The two of them were arranged in the courtyard next to Qin Zhao's.
At night, Qin Zhao and Qi Yan Su Luo lay in bed.
The two had just taken a bath and were sweating again.
The touching arms and skin were no longer as dry and smooth as before, but had a slightly sticky feeling.
There was no air conditioning in ancient times, and life was quite difficult to endure.
Fortunately, a woman's body fragrance, mixed with the smell of sweat, still smelled good.
Qin Zhao asked, "Why do I feel like you've been absent-minded since you returned to the residence?"
Qi Yan Su Luo said, "It's nothing. I think it's because the weather is too hot and my mind habitually spaces out."
"Are you worried about the Huo Chengjin matter?"
Qi Yan Su Luo was silent for a while, turned over and kissed her, and said in passing, "Let's not mention such a killjoy at a time like this."
"Hmm..."
The next day, Qin Zhao opened her eyes and only she was left on the bed.
Qi Yan Su Luo did not have the habit of sleeping in and got up early every day.
She would take a walk around the residence in the morning, then go to the study to read.
Qin Zhao got out of bed, her legs were weak, and she fell back onto the bed.
Recalling the intense situation last night, Qin Zhao's face flushed slightly.
There was not much deep feeling between her and Qi Yan Su Luo, but physically they were very harmonious.
Living like this for a lifetime was also possible...
While she was lost in thought, there was suddenly a commotion outside the door!
Qin Zhao put on her clothes and went out. She could hear the sound coming from the courtyard next door.
When she arrived, Yin Xuan and Meng Huilan were fighting fiercely!
Yin Xuan waved her bone whip and asked, "Why did you bring me here without my consent?"
Meng Huilan blocked it with a sword, "You fainted. How could I ask your opinion?
Besides, if I didn't bring you here, was I supposed to let you lie at the door of Spring Breeze Building?"
Yin Xuan was not satisfied with her answer and said, "Sophistry! You deserve a beating!"
But Meng Huilan's martial arts skills were comparable to Yin Xuan's, not inferior at all!
Moreover, there were similarities in the kung fu techniques of the two.
Plus their age was around 25 years old.
Qin Zhao speculated that they were most likely from the same sect.
Yin Xuan glanced at Qin Zhao out of the corner of her eye, gave up confronting Meng Huilan, took a detour, and came towards Qin Zhao!
Meng Huilan was one step slower than her and tried her best to catch up behind her, attempting to stop her!
Qin Zhao shouted, "Don't stop her!"
Although Meng Huilan didn't understand Qin Zhao's intention, she stopped.
Yin Xuan's bone whip danced like a dragon, whipping towards Qin Zhao swiftly!
This time Qin Zhao was mentally prepared and easily caught the bone whip with her bare hands!
Yin Xuan stopped and looked at Qin Zhao with new understanding.
She was surprised and said, "You know martial arts?"
Qin Zhao: "A little."
"Just a little? There are no more than five people in the world who can catch my whip!
Who exactly are you?"
Qin Zhao chuckled, "Who exactly are you?
What is your background?
From the moment you saw me, you kept asking questions.
Among the Jianghu people, it is common courtesy to report your own name first when people meet.
You don't say who you are, so why should I answer your questions?"
Yin Xuan put away her bone whip and said, "Everything I have done in my life is to escape from you!
Unable to kill you with one whip is the root of my pain. Do you understand?"
From Yin Xuan's tone, Qin Zhao felt a deep sadness.
"You want to escape from me, but Heaven let you meet me.
You may think this is an accidental coincidence.
But I believe this is your original path.
You have no other choice but to walk this road. "
"Hahahaha!" Yin Xuan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, then looked at Qin Zhao and said, "Are you mocking me?
After walking so many detours for so many years, I'm back on the old path. How ridiculous and pathetic!"
Qin Zhao said, "Everyone has their own destined fate, this is an unchangeable fact."
If it was the real world, people could have freedom. But characters in a book exist only to serve the plot, with no freedom whatsoever.
Qin Zhao continued, "Although fate is set, every story has an ending.
If you want to live an unrestrained life, you can choose to speed up the plot."
From Yin Xuan's abnormal reactions so far, Qin Zhao speculated that she must be one of the Big Dipper Seven Stars.
And the mission of the Seven Stars was to assist the Purple Star Emperor to take the throne.
As long as she completed this matter, Yin Xuan would gain freedom.
Yin Xuan keenly perceived the implication in Qin Zhao's words and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Qin Zhao: "I roughly guessed some things. Aren't you one of the seven stars?"
Hearing the two words "seven stars", Yin Xuan bristled like an angry cat and shouted, "Stop talking!"
She covered her ears, avoiding reality.
Qin Zhao did not force her either. She had to figure this out for herself.
Qin Zhao turned and walked out of the yard. She was certain that sooner or later Yin Xuan would come looking for her!
September 28th, the 17th year of Yuangjia
Something shocking happened in the court and among the people!
When the Second Prince Qin Lie went to see Emperor Qin Zheng, he happened to run into Qin Zhe who was reviewing memorials!
Because of this, Qin Lie realized that the crown prince favored by Qin Zheng was Qin Zhe.
But he was unwilling to believe it and unwilling to give up the fight for the crown prince position. So he leaked this matter to the ministers of the court in the form of gossip.
Most of the ministers supported the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince, and naturally did not want to see the Third Prince come to power.
So they started an impeachment storm against the Third Prince on the grounds that the Third Prince's behavior did not comply with the Law of Yue Country!
Qin Zhao learned about this through Nangong Ling's intelligence organization.
In the front yard of Princess Residence, Qin Zhao drank the watermelon shaved ice she made and asked Qu Yao, who was sent by Nangong Ling to deliver a message: "What is the situation in the court?"
Qu Yao said, "Some of the ministers who supported the Second Prince and Sixth Prince have turned to the Third Prince's side.
The forces participating in the fight for the crown prince are now mainly divided into three factions.
Among them, Qin Lie's supporters have the greatest power, followed by Qin Zhe.
The officials who staunchly support Qin Song are the fewest."
"Who does Huo Chengjin support?"
"The Huo Family is neutral. As for Huo Chengjin, he claimed to be sick at home and has not shown up for half a month."
Qin Zhao recalled the scene she saw in Spring Breeze Building that day. Huo Chengjin's blood had dyed half of the floor of the private room red!
With such a large amount of blood loss, it would take at least half a year to recover.
"This imperial son understands."
Qin Zhao handed Qu Yao another cup of watermelon shaved ice, "It's hard for you to come all this way. This is for you to drink on the way back."
Qu Yao took it and tasted it right away. Her expression changed instantly, full of praise.
Qu Yao thanked Qin Zhao repeatedly and happily left the residence with the watermelon shaved ice.
She had just left when someone from the palace arrived.
The emperor urgently summoned Qin Zhao.
She changed into palace dress and took the carriage to the palace.
Following the usual procedure, she came before Qin Zheng.
Qin Zhao knelt down, "Your son pays respects to Father Emperor."
Seeing that Qin Zhao was becoming more and more spirited, Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with deep jealousy!
He barely maintained the dignity of an emperor and said, "Sit down."
Qin Zhao sat in a chair five meters away from Qin Zheng. She could vaguely smell the rotten odor from his body.
This was a man walking towards death.
Cough cough cough!
Qin Zheng coughed violently as if he was going to cough out his lungs!
He tasted blood in his mouth, so he wiped it with a handkerchief.
He glanced down at it, then casually put the handkerchief on the low table as if nothing had happened.
It was clearly not the first time he had coughed up blood.
Qin Zhao pretended to inadvertently stroke her nose, but she actually wanted to dispel the bloody smell mixed with the aura of death.
After Qin Zheng caught his breath, he said, "This Emperor's life is coming to an end. It is time to arrange for the future."
Qin Zhao squeezed out some tears. "Father Emperor..."
Qin Zheng raised his hand to signal her to shut up. "No need for pretense. This Emperor knows you've been looking forward to this Emperor's death for a long time."
Qin Zhao: Not bad, he's quite self-aware.
Qin Zheng asked, "My imperial son, which of your brothers do you think is most suitable to inherit the throne?"
"Cough cough!"
Qin Zhao was about to tease Nangong Ling when he suddenly heard Qi Yan Su Luo's meaningful light cough.
So he stopped his naughty hand.
He looked at Yin Xuan and said, "Her illness is a bit strange. Let me take her back to my residence to treat her. Does anyone have any objections?"
