Chapter 337: Something Else Can Be Done
He Shouyi never expected that Concubine Wei also wanted to poison the emperor that day!
He was filled with grief, "Your Highness, please don't blame the Queen. She has been feeling very miserable since the incident with the Wei family." He, an outsider, couldn't bear the torment and thought about revenge for the Wei family every day. What about Concubine Wei?
Xiao Jin once couldn’t understand why his mother could bear to abandon him when he was so young?
But later he realized that if she was alive, he would have no way to survive.
"I just want to tell you that Mother's matter has nothing to do with you. As for the person who is looking for you now, we can use his tricks against him to see what he wants to do."
"yes."
The huge stone that had been piled up for many years finally disappeared after knowing the truth. He Shouyi walked out of the study, laughing and then burst into tears.
Zhang Shuming looked at He Shouyi's somewhat crazy back and shook his head.
In fact, he recognized He Shouyi the day he met him. Back then, he was just an inconspicuous eunuch who was rescued by Concubine Wei when he was bullied. After Concubine Wei got into trouble, he found a way to serve Xiao Jin in order to help Concubine Wei protect her only son.
Thinking of Concubine Wei, Zhang Shuming's eyes also turned red. He asked the little servant beside him to bring two jugs of wine and took them to He Shouyi's residence.
When Xiao Jin returned to the house, Su Ying was coaxing the two children to sleep.
Seeing Xiao Jin coming in, Su Ying asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Jin's eyebrows drooped slightly, and he looked a little depressed. "My mother was also going to poison the snacks at that time. This has nothing to do with He Shouyi directly."
Su Ying was not too surprised. When Su Ying heard He Shouyi say that, she felt that what Concubine Wei said to him was a little strange.
Concubine Wei didn't know that He Shouyi had poisoned her, so why did she say those farewell words? It was obvious that she had some plans.
"I've already told him to take advantage of the situation and see what the other party is going to do."
Su Ying nodded. It seemed that the other party couldn't wait any longer.
"Is the child asleep?"
"Well, he went to bed after making a fuss for a while. You should go to bed early too."
"kindness."
The two of them lay down on the bed, but Su Ying could hear that Xiao Jin was lying in bed and had not fallen asleep.
"Can't sleep?"
Xiao Jin opened his eyes, turned over and held her in his arms, "Did I disturb you?"
"No, did you think of your mother?"
"kindness."
Xiao Jin gently pressed his chin on the top of her head, his voice a little hoarse, "I found that I even remembered what my mother looked like. I only remember that she was always very gentle, not like a woman from a military family at all."
He didn't dare to think about how determined such a weak woman was when she made such a decision.
Su Ying did not agree with Concubine Wei's approach. Revenge must be taken, but it must be done after one's strength has reached a certain level. After all, she has a child. By doing this, did she ever think that Emperor Kangze would vent his anger on Xiao Jin?
"Why didn't Emperor Kang Ze take your life back then? Wasn't he afraid that you would take revenge on him like your mother did?"
"He's afraid!"
But three years ago, he killed the entire Wei family, which had already left the people with the impression of being cruel. If he killed Xiao Jin again, killing his son would only make his reputation worse.
So he did not take action against him immediately, but waited until the third year after Concubine Wei's death before he ordered someone to take action against him.
And it was these three years that gave him room to grow, even though he was still just a child.
“That time, I almost died at his hands.”
He was pushed into the lake at that time. If Zhenguo Road had not come and rescued him, he would have really died.
Later, the imperial physician said that even if he was rescued, he would not live long because of his illness, so Emperor Kangze wanted to let him fend for himself.
But at that time, the Duke of Zhenguo proposed to take him to the border for training.
The border is a place with sandstorms and bitter cold. Not to mention his broken body, even a healthy man might not be able to withstand it, so Emperor Kangze agreed without hesitation.
He said he wanted his son to get some exercise.
He hoped that he would die at the border so that people would not blame him for his death.
But he could never have imagined that the Zhenguo Guild would try every possible means to cure his illness and take him to the border for training and fighting.
Emperor Kangze would never have thought that the damn Xiao Jin would become a barrier for the Qin Dynasty and learned all the things that the sons of the Duke of Zhenguo had not learned.
When he came to his senses, he found that he could no longer take Xiao Jin's life easily.
Because of this, he was extremely wary of him.
"He treated you like this, and you still defended his kingdom for him?" Su Ying couldn't understand.
Xiao Jin lowered his dark eyes and gently held Su Ying's hand, as if he was trying to draw heat from her body to warm himself.
"This is my promise to the Duke of Zhenguo." Back then, he had promised the Duke of Zhenguo to guard the Jinmen Pass of Jincheng. Now that the promise has been fulfilled, he has nothing to worry about.
"Aren't you afraid that one day you will become the opposite of the Duke of Zhenguo?"
"Don't be afraid, it's just a matter of life and death."
Su Ying turned around, found a comfortable position in his arms and closed her eyes, "Just keep it in mind."
"Su Ying, where are your parents?"
Su Ying's eyelashes trembled, "I don't know..." Before she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong and changed the subject, "Xiao Jin, what do you want to say?"
Xiao Jin held her hand tighter, "It's nothing, go to sleep. If you can't sleep, we can do something else."
"roll."
…
He Shouyi found the former imperial chef Zhang Gang two nights later.
Zhang Gang looked at He Shouyi in front of him and smiled with satisfaction, "I knew that Brother He was a man who knew how to handle current affairs. Come on, I'll take you to meet the master who will make you rich in the future."
As Zhang Gang spoke, he took out a black cloth bag from his pocket and wanted to put it on He Shouyi's head.
He Shouyi showed an unhappy look on his face and dodged, "What are you doing? Is there something shameful about your master?"
Zhang Gang smiled and said, "It's nothing. Some things are actually not known and it won't do any harm to you or me. Wear it and don't think about it."
He Shouyi wanted to refuse, but the smile on Zhang Gang's face gradually turned ferocious. He didn't say anything else and let him put the hood on him.
Zhang Gang called two people, one on the left and one on the right, and took He Shouyi to a carriage.
The moment the carriage came out, Zhao Neng and his men followed in secret.
Zhao Neng and his men followed all the way and found that the other party drove around outside and then returned to the previous house. However, after they brought He Shouyi down, they took him into another room.
Zhang Gang and He Shouyi never came out after they went in.
Zhao Neng hid quietly on the eaves. If he remembered correctly, there was no one else in the room, but he heard the voices of three people.
