Chapter 40: Belated Arrival



Alive, buried alive?!

Zhao Jun couldn't help but feel his heart beating wildly.

"Mirror, mirror, what if I really am buried alive? Can I go back after I die?"

She couldn't help but feel her heart beating wildly, and her hands were covered in sweat.

"Well, I don't know. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. I'll just leave it to fate."

The mirror answered with a hint of playfulness. It could sense Zhao Jun's nervousness and could only try to tease her as much as possible.

"What does it mean to leave everything to fate?" Zhao Jun roared inwardly.

"Forget it, I'll just pretend that I can go back. Yes, I can definitely go back." She comforted herself.

Besides, burying someone alive is already considered bad. It takes time to dig a hole and bury the person, and accidents might happen.

Zhao Jun didn't want to show any fear at any time, so he could only try his best to comfort himself.

Even if I die, I will die calmly.

She is very concerned about her reputation and would never do anything that would make her cry.

When the maidservant next to her heard the Queen Mother finally speak, she hurried over and dragged her out.

There is a large piece of wasteland in the backyard of this palace, with withered grass and trees, and it looks like it has not been taken care of for a long time.

Zhao Jun was thrown onto the ground nearby again, his mouth blocked. He could only lie there and watch several people digging a hole.

It had rained a while ago, so the land was not too difficult to dig. Zhao Jun watched helplessly as the pit became bigger and bigger.

Until she could fit in completely.

At this time, the empress dowager was also helped out by the maid beside her. She looked very weak, panting with every few steps.

"Okay, bury it, I'll just watch here."

She sat on a chair nearby and directed people to start burying her.

Zhao Jun struggled, but was pushed into the pit by the people next to him.

Her body and mouth were tied tightly, so shouting was futile.

After struggling for a while, she accepted her fate. She had to bury him anyway, so she decided to save her energy.

The cold, wet, heavy soil was thrown onto her body bit by bit, gradually covering her legs.

Putting aside other things, this feeling is still very wonderful. Who else can experience the feeling of being buried alive in real life?

Zhao Jun thought to himself, trying to find joy in the midst of suffering.

The mud covered her up little by little, almost submerging her chin.

And that bastard Ying Zheng hasn't come to me yet. You've lost a loyal minister like me. Just wait to cry.

The King of Zhao was happy again and cursed Ying Zheng in his heart.

Would it be painful to be buried alive? It would probably be similar to the feeling of suffocation. I hope that when I wake up, I will be home and there are so many treasures at home.

Zhao Jun thought about the treasure in her little room again, hoping that the nightmare would end when she woke up.

At this time, the mud had gradually covered her mouth and nose, and she gradually felt some difficulty breathing.

Queen Mother Zhao felt a twisted sense of satisfaction rising in her heart as she watched Prince Zhao being buried bit by bit.

But her joy did not last long, because the imperial guards finally found this place.

On the other side, Ying Zheng tortured Feng Quan and others severely, but gained nothing.

The imperial guards searched almost half of the palace, but found no trace.

Ying Zheng frowned. Who on earth wanted to kill her? The King of Zhao had hardly offended anyone.

He paced back and forth, listening to the news that the imperial guards had searched the various palaces but found nothing.

Isn't it directed at Zhao Jun, but at me?

Ever since she was promoted to the rank of Nine Ministers, rumors have spread in the palace that I value her very much and treat her specially.

Is there anyone who wants to capture her to take revenge on me?

But who in the palace hates me so much and has the ability to do this?

The women in the harem are all from other vassal states and do have their own thoughts, but the imperial guards have already searched the harem thoroughly and it is impossible that they did not find anything.

So, who else?

Suddenly Ying Zheng stopped in his tracks. Indeed, there was another person!

"Sun Cheng, call a team of imperial guards and go to Huayang Palace with me." He was the first to step out of the palace gate and rushed in that direction.

Ying Zheng thought that the only person in the palace who hated him so much was that person.

His biological mother, Zhao Ji!

"Yes, my king." Sun Cheng and Qing Liu both ran after him.

Huayang Palace, isn't that...

Sun Cheng thought about it and felt overwhelmed.

Not long after, Ying Zheng broke into Huayang Palace with the imperial guards and Sun Cheng Qingliu who had fallen behind.

Sure enough, his eyes met Zhao Ji in the backyard.

Qingliu had been following behind as an unknown person, but after following everyone into Huayang Palace, the first thing she wanted to do was find the kidnapped Zhao Jun.

Then I saw the maids gathered there, the shovel still standing there, and the soil that had just been turned over.

For a moment, he didn't care about anything else and shouted quickly.

"The adults have been buried in the soil by them, hurry up and save them."

"Come here, take him down and dig up the dirt quickly."

Ying Zheng also saw the piece of land, temporarily put aside the complicated feelings of seeing this woman, and ordered the imperial guards to rescue the person first.

But at this time Zhao Jun could no longer hear their cries, as the mud covered her completely.

Of course, those women were no match for the imperial guards and were quickly subdued. At this time, only Zhao Ji was still sitting there intact.

Soon the soil was turned over, and Zhao Jun was lying inside with a pale face.

But fortunately, he was not buried for long and was still breathing.

"My lord, there is still hope." Sun Cheng stood at the edge of the pit, and Qingliu cried uncontrollably while hugging Zhao Jun who had been rescued.

"Take her away quickly and call the imperial physician."

Hearing that there was still hope, Ying Zheng felt relieved and immediately had Zhao Jun taken back.

Before long, the backyard, which had been extremely noisy, became quiet.
