chapter 31 Oh, I vomited!



Oh, vomited!

Empress Dou personally sent Qin Zheng out of the palace.

Originally, after giving birth, the empress wanted to rest her for another two months, and then give her a sum of money to let her leave the palace secretly, but Qin Zheng insisted on leaving the palace first, so the empress thought of a compromise and let her go to the imperial manor under the empress's name to recuperate.

"Here is twelve thousand yuan." Empress Dou took out enough money for a farmer's family of five to spend in a year, and sent Qin Zheng to the carriage. She spread thick bedding on the floor of the carriage and tried her best to keep her warm: "Take it well. After you recover, use some of the money to build a family business."

Daxia did not restrict women from earning money to support their families, either by selling wine or opening teahouses. There were women selling food on the streets, changing soup and pouring wine for diners in hotels, hiring servants to carry sedan chairs, hiring servants to cook at banquets, and inviting doctors to their homes... There were all kinds of things, and they were not afraid that Qin Zheng would spend all her savings.

Qin Zheng got on the carriage sobbing, and suddenly opened the curtain: "Your Highness..." On the wooden edge of the carriage, the girl's fingers moved nervously: "Why are you so good to me?"

She bit her lip lightly: "I... am not a faithful wife, and I have caused chaos in the harem..."

Shouldn't they just ask someone to drag me down and beat me to death with sticks?

Empress Dou gently pulled down her hand, stuffed her into the carriage, and wrapped her in a quilt: "You can't stand the cold." Then she said: "His Majesty recounted the scene to me. He said..."

- The emperor's retelling was filled with anger and disdain, and his tone was very contemptuous when he commented. At this point, he only said: "They hid in the cave, and they said something like 'You smell so good' and 'Your Highness, don't be like this'. They were so pretentious and reluctant."

But the empress saw it...

"You are shouting 'no' to the grandson."

Empress Dou looked at Qin Zheng: "You said: don't be like this."

Qin Zheng was shaking all over.

Her voice was also trembling: "What if I am actually playing coy!"

Empress Dou's voice was still so gentle and calm: "I can't judge that every woman who says 'no' is not playing coy, but I can't let the world become that as long as a woman says 'no', she is playing coy."

Qin Zheng was already in tears.

She cried and said incoherently, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm sorry. I didn't intend to cause trouble in the palace. I know a little bit of medical skills. Before entering the palace, His Majesty didn't force me. I was too cowardly and only dared to say that I was not a virgin. His Majesty said he didn't care whether I was a virgin or not, so I didn't dare to refuse. After entering the palace, there was fish soup for lunch. I felt nauseous, so I took my own pulse and found out that I was pregnant. I didn't dare to say it. I'm sorry , Your Highness..."

She knelt down on the quilt, crying louder and louder: "The Grand Master broke in, I asked him to leave, but he didn't leave. He pulled me to the rockery, and I said no, he thought I was flirting, but I thought, he loves me so much, then I will give him my life, so I didn't die to show my determination."

"But I was scared in the end. I didn't dare to die. I wanted to live, so I said that I was pregnant with Taisun... Your Highness, I am not a chaste woman. I am not worthy of your treatment. In the end, I only thought about saving my life, not dying for Taisun..."

But how could a chaste woman still think about saving herself at this time!

Qin Zheng couldn't stop crying.

She felt that she was ungrateful for Empress Dou's love for her.

Then, a hand gently touched her head, warm like the mother in her memory.

She remembered her mother. When she was a child, she didn't like those silk flowers and hand drums, but liked to hold her mother's fingers. That's what her mother did at that time, stroking her head with her other hand.

Qin Zheng understood without words.

Empress Dou never chose to blame her for revealing that she was pregnant in order to save her life.

"A Zheng." Empress Dou asked her, "The eldest princess will be going to her fiefdom soon. She has mentioned several times that your dancing is beautiful. Are you willing to follow her to her fiefdom after the New Year and teach the princess dancing? The monthly tuition is three thousand coins."

- Are you willing to accept the protection of the princess's mansion?

"You saved that traitorous grandson, but he repaid me with evil. I can't do that. If you don't want to, I can assign you some guards from the Dou family, okay?"

Qin Zheng smiled: "Your Highness."

She said seriously: "I want to receive the tuition."

- I want to live on this.

On the execution ground.

Ji Sui was hugging his granddaughter tightly, and was very moved: "Nannan! I am your grandpa!"

The female prisoner raised her head and asked carefully and softly: "Grandpa?"

Ji Sui felt even more distressed and hugged her tightly: "Yes! Nannan! I am really your grandpa! I have been looking for your mother for more than 30 years!"

The female prisoner was in a daze: "But my grandpa drowned in a cesspool!"

Ji Sui choked.

Ji Sui resisted the urge to push her away, with goose bumps all over his body, and continued emotionally: "That's your mother's adoptive father! I am your real..."

The execution ground was not far from the Tianlao, Xu Yanmiao ran over breathlessly on his legs, and looked at the two people on the execution ground dumbfounded.

[Wrong, wrong! ]

He was very anxious.

[That’s not the daughter of you and your ex-wife’s daughter, that’s a fake one! She’s a death row inmate in jail!]

Ji Sui pushed the person away and took three steps back anxiously, holding his churning stomach.

Two words echoed in his mind: shit pit... shit pit...

"Grrr——"

He vomited loudly.

[Oh, I vomited!]

Ji Sui bent his waist and vomited, his veins throbbing.

Xu Yanmiao! Why are you everywhere!

[Now my obsession has finally taken over! Although I thought this person was your granddaughter, I still couldn’t resist the impact of my obsession!]

No, no!

Ji Sui almost bit his teeth to pieces.

If she was really my granddaughter, I wouldn’t care if she was dirty or not!

Ji Sui looked at the guards around the execution ground, took out his official seal to prove his identity, and then pointed at Xu Yanmiao.

"Drag him away for me!"

Xu Yanmiao: "Huh?"

Xu Yanmiao: "Ahhhhhhh?!"

The person was taken away, and Ji Sui could still hear Xu Yanmiao's thoughts from afar.

[Forget it! I understand! Ji Gong kidnapped his granddaughter at the execution ground, but he couldn't help vomiting. Of course, he didn't want a small official like me to know! ]

Ji Sui: "..."

I really want to hit someone!

*

At night, Xu Yanmiao heard that Ji Sui's granddaughter was still beheaded.

He kidnapped the execution ground and angered the old emperor, and the old emperor ordered him to divorce Princess Qinghe. The position of Zuo Du Yushi was also removed - there was a tradition in the Great Xia Dynasty that before becoming the prime minister, one had to be the Zuo Du Yushi first. This official position was also privately called the deputy prime minister.

Originally, Prime Minister Dou was old, and when he retired, Ji Sui was sure to be granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister, but now he can only be sent to a prefecture outside the capital, and it is unknown when he can return to the central government. However, the task of inspecting temples in various places in Kyushu that was previously assigned to him has not been taken back. I think he will be able to meet his colleagues in the central government again when he returns to Beijing to report the completion of the task.

Xu Yanmiao hurriedly checked the system, and after flipping through the gossip for a while, he found the matter of Qin Guiren, and he breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.

"Luckily, fortunately, the one who died was the prisoner who was supposed to be executed, and Noble Qin is still fine."

"Eh? When did the old emperor use the Jinyiwei to find out the identity of Noble Qin? And did he tell Ji Sui?"

"Then what about my note?" Xu Yanmiao suddenly became nervous: "I had locked it with Ji Sui before. The Jinyiwei is so powerful, they won't find me out, right?"

Rolling around on the bed.

"If I am caught, how can I explain my source of information? Can I say that Noble Qin is somewhat similar to Ji Gong?"

Rolling around.

"Oh, Ji Sui is going to meet his granddaughter, eh? Why did the queen call Ji Sui over first!"

*

Pepper Room Palace.

"Ji Sui, I know you want to ask about your daughter. A Zheng has told me all this."

Empress Dou said bluntly: "A Zheng is restless now, I'll tell you about it."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ji Sui sat upright. The 46-year-old Ji Gong was as uneasy as a child who had the honor of listening to a great scholar's lecture.

"A Zheng told me that her mother was the daughter of a farmer. In October of the ninth year of Tiantong, there was a great epidemic in Quanzhou. Her mother's family was destroyed and she lived in a brothel. She was only seven years old at that time." Ji Sui

had a blank expression on his face, and his hands were clenched into fists under his sleeves.

"When her mother reached the age of 15, she was about to get married, but that year you vigorously cracked down on brothels everywhere, and the brothel her mother worked in was closed down. She was lucky to get married and later married a farmer. The farmer was simple and honest, treated her mother very well, and was also a good man."

Because... he cracked down on brothels, so his daughter finally survived?

In an instant, Ji Sui's mind was blank.

It was not until Empress Dou spoke again that he reluctantly came back to his senses.

"But growing up in a brothel eventually hurt her body. Her mother died when she was only 26 years old. Her father died when she was three years old. Her mother, a widow, worked hard to raise her until she passed away when she was ten years old."

"A Zheng can dance and also knows a little bit of medical skills, both of which were taught by her mother. Later, these two skills helped her save Taisun and escape from him."

"..."

This cold-blooded man, who hated prostitutes and despised country gentlemen, who had many heads of landlords and tyrants in his hands, and whose reputation was comparable to that of cruel officials in the eyes of these people, was the emperor's falcon and the vice prime minister of the court; this leader of the Modern Literature School, who was admired by the Modern Literature School and regarded as the hope of Modern Literature and the leader of the Modern Literature School who made the literature genre endless, was now kneeling on the soft cushion, his back straight, tears flowing down his cheeks from the corners of his eyes.

He cried.

Empress Dou sighed and said, "The child is now recuperating in my villa."

...

In the villa, the newly assigned maid helped Qin Zheng dress up and said with envy and excitement, "Miss! Your grandfather is the Zuodu Yushi, the vice prime minister of the court, the Grand Academician of Wenyuan Pavilion, the Grand Academician of Wuying Palace, and the Prince's Grand Tutor, the leader of the Modern Literature School!"

Qin Zheng, the person involved, was much calmer. She lowered her eyes, her face was still pale from excessive blood loss, and her voice was also soft: "Is it the Grand Academician Ji who talked about women's virtues and admonitions with Your Majesty?"

The maid said in confusion, "I don't know about this, but there are no other Grand Academicians with the surname Ji, right?"

Ji Sui came at this time.

With a heart full of guilt and excitement, and with an indescribable sense of homesickness, he pushed open the door.

When he saw the thin girl, all the words he had been organizing along the way were washed away, and he trembled and said, "A Zheng! I am your grandfather!"

The other party looked up, his eyes were black and white, and he stood up to salute, without any mistakes, and the politeness and alienation were visible to the naked eye.

After the salute, the girl called him respectfully: "Mr. Ji."
