Chapter 72: Substituting Watermelon for People
Li Si let him go and suddenly burst into laughter, almost unable to straighten his waist.
It's better to die! This way he won't have to worry about another Li Si appearing in the Qin State.
It is enough for Qin to have him!
Li Si's expression calmed down, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile, "Brother, please!"
He took out the medicine powder, poured it into the wine, and pushed it in front of Han Fei.
Han Fei lowered his head, straightened his messy collar, and coughed a few times. His lips were bloodless. He looked up at Li Si and said slowly, "If you still remember the friendship between us brothers, could you do me another favor?"
Li Si's eyes flashed, "You say."
"Ahem! Those who entered Qin with me were caused by me. They should not die here with me. If possible, please ask the King of Qin to let them return to Han."
"Can."
Han Fei picked up the cup of poisoned wine, his hands trembling slightly. He looked at the sunlight coming in through the window and sighed in his heart. Even if he had thousands of ambitions, he could only stop here now.
"etc--"
There were hurried footsteps, mixed with loud shouts, "Wait! Wait!"
Changping Jun ran in panting. Seeing Han Fei holding the poisoned wine, he was frightened and quickly snatched it away, throwing it on the ground, and said in panic, "You didn't drink it?"
He even pinched Han Fei's chin and tried to pry open his mouth to check.
Han Fei looked stunned and struggled to break free from his restraints without knowing why.
Changping Jun saw that he still had the strength to struggle and there was no sign of poison on his face. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The king has ordered Han Fei to appear before him."
Li Si stood up suddenly, his eyes gleaming coldly as he demanded, "Lord Changping, why did the king change his mind?"
Changping Jun coughed lightly and said with a smile, "It's hard for me to explain this matter. You will know it when you see the king. Anyway, Han Feizi, you don't have to die now!"
Han Fei was not as happy as he had imagined. Even if the King of Qin did not kill him now, he would have killed him sooner or later. The reason why he spared his life now was probably because he thought he could still be used in other ways.
But it is absolutely impossible for him to surrender to the Qin State.
Inside the Zhengyang Hall, two things were prominently placed on Ying Zheng's desk.
One was the corn he was familiar with, and the other was round in shape with a green patterned skin, which the Queen Mother called a watermelon.
It is said that this watermelon was planted by the Queen Mother and Fusu themselves.
The Queen Mother wanted to use these two things to exchange for Han Fei.
Ying Zheng snorted coldly. He had asked her for it, but she refused to give it to him. Now that she wanted to ask him for the person, she just sent the thing over instead.
But growing corn is a great achievement, so it is not impossible to ask him for a person.
What Ying Zheng was more curious about was why the Queen Mother suddenly became interested in Han Fei.
Although the letter said that he wanted to find a new teacher for Fusu, as far as he knew, Fusu already had two teachers. Wasn't one of them, Master Wei, a member of the Fa family?
Although Han Fei had made great contributions to law, he was only active among the aristocratic class, which was inconsistent with the Queen Mother's idea of ​​benefiting the world. Moreover, he was not good at speaking and had a solitary personality. No matter how you looked at it, he would not be a qualified candidate for a teacher.
However, the Queen Mother was right in saying that once a person dies, there is no room for recovery. There are many talented people in the world, but people like Han Fei are few and far between. It would be a pity to kill him now.
Lu Le, who was standing by, followed the order and cut the watermelon. Looking at the red flesh inside, he swallowed his saliva, cut off a small piece, and carefully put it into his mouth.
After one stick of incense.
"Your Majesty, this melon is not poisonous, it is sweet, juicy, and delicious."
Ying Zheng looked at the melon in his hand and took a bite.
I have to say that person really knows how to eat. Whether it is the food she cooks or the food she grows, it tastes very good.
Ying Zheng was in a very good mood.
When Han Fei was brought in, he was shocked and horrified to see the corners of the King of Qin's lips raised, and he couldn't help but start thinking of various ways he could die.
"Han Fei, you are unwilling to follow me, and I am unwilling to let you return to Han. Logically, you cannot keep your life."
"But someone wants to save your life. If so, I will give you to her. How long you can live depends on your own ability."
"And if you don't want to implicate the Koreans, don't even think about returning to Korea. Otherwise, I won't mind turning Korea upside down and killing you."
Ying Zheng opened his thin lips slightly, and the words he uttered were filled with murderous intent, his eyes were as cold as ice.
Han Fei's eyes paused slightly, with a hint of surprise in them.
No one wants to die if they can still live.
Han Fei didn't know why the King of Qin kept him alive, nor did he know who saved him, but since he was alive, there was still hope.
Han Fei was taken away.
Li Si couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, to whom do you want to give Han Fei?"
"When the Queen Mother asked me for someone, it was difficult for me to refuse."
Ying Zheng chuckled, or rather, the Queen Mother gave him a reason to keep Han Fei.
Queen Mother?
Li Si's eyelids trembled, and his thin hands clenched in his sleeves. He had taken all the ministers in the court into consideration, but he never thought that the empress dowager was involved here?
He said unwillingly, "Your Majesty, Han Fei will eventually choose to return to Han. Leaving him here will only cause trouble."
Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow, "By that time, the Kingdom of Korea had already been completely controlled by me. What could he do?"
Li Si's words were blocked, and he struggled to say, "He will not be loyal to the king, nor will he help the Qin State."
Ying Zheng also imitated Zhao Yuanxi's gangster-like attitude and waved his hand, saying, "If I could keep Zheng State in the past, I can keep Han Fei today. It doesn't matter if he is not loyal to me, as long as he can work."
Is it possible that he can escape from his grasp?
Facing the rising sun of a new day, Han Fei stopped at the gate of Yongcheng City and looked at the tall city gate, unable to help but fall into deep thought.
"teacher!"
Han Fei was startled by the voice of the boy who was still in the voice change period. He couldn't help but feel excited when he saw his student running towards him from a distance.
"Teacher, you have suffered!" Zhang Liang's eyes were a little red, and his voice was slightly choked when he saw Han Fei's haggard appearance.
He didn't know what he looked like now, and he didn't look much better than Han Fei.
Han Fei asked, "Why are you here?"
"It's a long story."
Zhao Yuanxi appeared behind Zhang Liang and said with a smile, "Since this is a long story, why don't you two follow me back to the palace first?"
"Greetings to the Queen Mother of Qin." Han Fei had already learned from the soldiers who escorted him that it was the Queen Mother who saved his life. No matter what the reason was for the Queen Mother of Qin to save him, at least he had to acknowledge this favor.
"Han Feizi, you are so polite." Zhao Yuanxi smiled and looked at the thin man in front of him who had an unremarkable appearance but an extraordinary demeanor. It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover.
Zhao Yuanxi welcomed the people into Liyang Palace.
In the hall, all the legal students came, and many other students also came to join in the fun.
