Chapter 240 Conspiracy (asking for monthly ticket)
Zhao Yuanxi paused. It seemed that she only knew of one Young Envoy Hu. Was that person recovered from his illness?
After hearing about her story, Zhao Yuanxi did not have a very good impression of this woman. Whether it was out of ignorance or for the sake of survival, her behavior objectively almost caused a tragedy.
If Zhao Yuanxi had not obtained the prescription from the system, Du Ruo would not be the only one to die.
No, there is more than one person who died now. Eunuch Mu also died when he heard the news that Du Ruo died of illness.
Zhao Yuanxi didn't know what story they had, but when he heard the news of Eunuch Mu's death, he buried them together.
That's all she can do.
"No." Zhao Yuanxi said lightly. She had no intention of contacting other people in the palace. She knew without thinking that they were all a bunch of trouble.
Hu Ji stood at the gate of Ganquan Palace, listening to the palace servant's reply. She bit her lower lip and said in a mournful voice, "Eunuch, please let me see the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother saved my life, and I want to thank her in person."
The palace maid looked embarrassed and said, "The Queen Mother said she won't see you, and I can't open the door for you. You'd better go back!"
"What's wrong?" Zhao Gao walked over slowly and asked with a smile when he saw people blocking the door.
The palace attendant saluted Zhao Gao and looked at the large group of palace attendants following him. "Eunuch Zhao, what are you doing?"
Zhao Gao: "I'm here by the king's order to exorcise the evil spirits from Ganquan Palace and bring some supplements to the Queen Mother. What's wrong with her?"
The palace maid whispered, "This is the young envoy Hu. She wanted to see the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother didn't want to see her, so I stopped her at the door. She's making a fuss right now!"
Zhao Gao then took a serious look at the Hu concubine who had caused him to be beaten, and sneered, "Young Envoy Hu, this is not the place you should be. You'd better stay away from here, otherwise next time it won't be as simple as a demotion."
When Hu Ji heard the visitor's surname was Zhao, she realized who he was and knelt on the ground, crying and aggrieved, "Eunuch Zhao, I have never seen the world and didn't know what to do when I saw someone sick. That's how I almost made a big mistake. Now I know I was wrong. I beg you to forgive me for my ignorance this time!"
"Hey! Master Hu, this is unacceptable! I cannot bear such a generous gift from you! Hurry and get up!"
"Unless my father-in-law forgives me, I will not get up."
It is indeed inevitable to feel sympathy when seeing a beautiful woman crying. Even though Zhao Gao was a eunuch, he could not help but sigh that there was such a beautiful woman in this world.
Unfortunately, he is not interested in beauty.
Zhao Gao waved his hand and said, "I, your servant, have no right to talk about forgiveness or not. You'd better go back quickly. The Queen Mother won't care about your thanks."
Hu Ji knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and secretly shed tears. There was resentment in her eyes. She said urgently, "Eunuch Zhao, I have something important to discuss with you. Can you please move aside for the time being?"
"I have to report to the King later! There's no time to waste!"
"It will only take half an incense stick of time. This matter is also related to you."
Zhao Gao looked the man up and down, his eyes filled with contempt. "That will have to wait until I finish my business. No matter how important my business is, it cannot compare to the king's business."
He walked forward, ignoring the person sobbing behind him.
Zhao Yuanxi stared at the two little guys after they finished drinking the medicine. When he heard Zhao Gao coming to Ganquan Palace to exorcise the evil spirit, he was full of questions.
Confucius does not speak of strange things. If exorcising evil spirits were effective, what would be the use of doctors?
Fortunately, it was just an act. Apart from the noise outside, it didn't affect Zhao Yuanxi at all.
Zhao Gao hadn't seen the Queen Mother for a long time, and he felt a surge of emotion. "Your Majesty, you've lost a lot of weight recently."
"You've been busy lately, so just rest for two days. What did the king ask you to deliver?" Zhao Yuanxi smiled.
Zhao Gao opened the boxes one by one. "These are all nourishing medicines. I hope the Queen Mother likes them."
Zhao Yuanxi looked at the ginseng as thick as his forearm, and the corners of his mouth twitched. How much is it worth?
After all, she has little experience.
"How is the king these days?"
Zhao Gao smiled and replied, "Your Majesty is in good health. I received the letter of surrender from Han two days ago, and I have been busy these days summoning the King of Han."
"Han State surrendered!" Zhao Yuanxi raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Zhang Liang had succeeded.
"Is there any news about Zhang Liang?"
Zhao Gao still had a smile on his face. "Envoy Zhang will enter Xianyang with King Han. The Queen Mother cares so much about him. I guess she likes him."
Zhao Yuanxi propped up her chin, thinking he was teasing her, and said with a smile, "Let it go for now. Don't tell anyone else about this. I consider Zhang Liang my student, so of course I like him."
Zhao Gao bowed and said, "I acknowledge my guilt."
He then looked at the two young masters beside Zhao Yuanxi and said, "The king also instructed that if you two recover, don't forget to go to the study room."
It was hard for him to still be concerned about Fusu and Ziying's studies. Zhao Yuanxi saw the two little guys looking at her, holding her forehead and smiling, "This is his order, there's nothing I can do."
Children should study hard.
Ziying curled his lips, rarely having any other opinions.
"Then I will take my leave first."
"Remember to say hello to the king for me!"
"promise!"
When Zhao Gao came out of Ganquan Palace and was about to leave, he saw that Hu Ji was still standing at the door.
Seeing Zhao Gao coming out, she slowly stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Eunuch Zhao, do you have time now?"
Such perseverance impressed Zhao Gao. He glanced at the palace servants following him. When the crowd dispersed, he chuckled and said, "What on earth did the young eunuch want to tell me?"
Hu Ji knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Please help me, eunuch. I come from a humble background and shouldn't have too many delusions. But I'm alone in this deep palace, with no one to rely on. I'm afraid no one would even know if I died."
"Master Hu, there are many people like you in the harem. If everyone came to ask me for help, how could I have the time to respond to them one by one?"
Many of the women in the king's harem are sent by various vassal states. There are countless women of varying heights and beauty. Zhao Gao is now a close minister to the King of Qin, so naturally there are many people who try to please him. He has seen many people like Hu Ji.
He's not that compassionate.
Zhao Gao felt bored and turned to leave, but was stopped by someone.
"Eunuch Zhao, are you really willing to be a eunuch for the rest of your life? If you can help me, how about I let my child recognize you as his uncle?"
If the second father of King Si of Qin is granted the title of marquis, he will be the second father of the king and the marquis. If he can inherit the throne in the future, he will be second only to the king and above all others.
It is indeed a great temptation.
At the beginning, Lu Buwei could be the second-father of the King of Qin, and Lao Ai could be the fake father of the King of Qin. He believed that he was not inferior to Lu Buwei, not to mention that waste Lao Ai. There was no reason why he could not do what they could do.
Zhao Gao was tempted, but empty promises could not move him.
"Master Hu, I am but a mere eunuch. How can I be the father-in-law of the Prince of Qin? You are truly putting me down."
