Chapter 173: Husband and wife reunite! He will definitely be the future crown prince!
In the fields.
In addition to Zhao, there was also Wu Lizheng who went to the fields to plant rice.
As always.
In the past, when Zhao came to Sha Village, it was Wu Lizheng who took her in.
Afterwards.
When Zhao went to the fields to farm, it was Wu Lizheng who helped her.
After so many years, Wu Lizheng has grown old. As the benefactor of Zhao Feng's family, Wu Lizheng also received Zhao Feng's full return, but Wu Lizheng rejected it.
At the beginning, he helped Zhao just to take care of her and never thought about anything in return.
This is still the case even now.
For Wu Lizheng.
He felt that it was enough and totally worth it to be able to bring a general to the Qin Dynasty and serve the Qin Dynasty.
Now all of Sandhill County knows.
The fourth general of the Qin Dynasty was raised by him. This general with great military achievements was raised by him.
No one could know how proud Wu Lizheng was.
With this, he had enough.
When he sees his sons in the afterlife, he can proudly tell them that he raised a great general of the Qin Dynasty.
"This year, the weather is favorable and the harvest will definitely be good."
Wu Lizheng said with a smile while planting rice seedlings.
"yes."
"Good weather and good harvest."
"It would be great if there were no wars in the world and everyone could live and work in peace, farming and supporting their families." Zhao also had a smile on her face.
"That day will come."
"Feng is such a capable kid, he can definitely help the king do it." Wu Lizheng said with a smile.
Mention the King.
There was a ripple in Zhao's eyes, and a look of helplessness appeared in her eyes.
And at this moment.
In the dark.
A pair of eyes have already fallen on Zhao Sheng.
Although there was a distance between them, even after such a long time, the owner of the gaze was recognized at a glance.
"Afang."
"I finally found you."
far away.
Outside a field, Ying Zheng watched from afar, with an unspeakable wave of emotion in his eyes.
But at this moment.
He didn't alarm anyone.
"Your Majesty, should we go directly there?" Dun Ruo asked respectfully.
"She doesn't mind the excitement, and she doesn't want to see me at this moment."
"Wait until night. Wait until night and we will sneak into the mansion secretly."
"Don't alarm anyone." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
This may be the depth of love.
Even though he had the power to control a country, Ying Zheng always had a sense of propriety when it came to the person he loved.
Because he also understood clearly why Afang refused to see him.
Why didn't you go when you knew he was in Xianyang?
Why did he know clearly that his father-in-law would rather stay away from Xianyang and avoid him?
The reason for all this was that she felt insecure. The massacre at that time had a profound impact on her.
If he went up directly at this moment, it would attract other people's attention, and people would know that he had come to the sand dune in person to meet her.
Those old foxes in the court will definitely know why.
Even though so many years have passed.
But there were still many eyewitnesses of what happened back then. Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and others were all aware of it. Although they are now firmly in the court, they were witnesses of what happened back then, but perhaps they had also experienced it themselves.
Although those involved experienced a bloodbath back then, many of them are still alive.
Time passes.
Ying Zheng had been watching silently, and finally found it, recovering it.
His eyes didn't want to leave for a moment.
Until the evening.
"Let's go back."
Wu Lizheng smiled at Zhao.
"Uncle Wu, let's go home for dinner." Zhao Sheng said gently.
"No, no, I'm still used to being alone." Wu Lizheng waved his hands repeatedly.
But he didn't have the mood to enjoy himself.
"Uncle Wu, you are just too polite."
"If it weren't for you, our family would be gone long ago."
Seeing Wu Lizheng like this, Zhao felt a little helpless.
Ever since her family became able to do so, Zhao had always wanted to repay the favor, but no matter what, Wu Lizheng would never accept it.
Because in his opinion, his kindness to the Zhao family was selfless.
"This is just a matter of convenience. Don't think too much about it."
"Let's go, home." Wu Lizheng waved his hand with a smile, and walked towards the village with a hunched back.
"lady."
"The water is ready."
"Wash yourself up first, then go back home."
The butler beside him said respectfully.
Zhao nodded, washed her hands, and went home.
but.
At the moment of turning around.
Zhao seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around to look to the side.
But at first glance.
But nothing was found.
Just now it was as if someone was secretly spying on her.
However, since she didn't see anyone, Zhao calmed down and didn't think too much about it.
Nightfall!
There are guards on duty outside the Zhao mansion.
Although the village was very peaceful, it was the residence of the general after all, and he held a high position of power in the Qin Dynasty. If people from other countries wanted to attack Zhao Feng's family, that would be a bad thing.
So in addition to the guards on duty at the Zhao Mansion, there were also county soldiers on duty outside.
The county soldiers outside were naturally mobilized by the county city to specifically protect Zhao Feng's family.
But at this moment.
A group of people quietly entered the village and headed towards the back door of the Zhao Mansion.
But just approaching the backyard gate.
"stop."
Several figures suddenly appeared outside the mansion gate and looked at the people in front of them with great caution.
"We are here on orders, and we want to see Madam Zhao for something important."
Dun Ruo walked forward and said immediately.
"What needs to happen at night?"
"And you did it through the back door, sneakily?"
The guard who was blocking the way said coldly, he didn't believe it at all.
"This time there is indeed a secret royal decree. Please inform the madam or the housekeeper and tell them about the important matter at the Black Ice Terrace." Dun Ruo still said politely.
Looking at Dun Ruo like this, there are dozens of people behind him who are extraordinary.
The guard nodded and said, "This is the General's Mansion. I don't think you have any bad intentions. Please wait a moment. I will go and report to the housekeeper."
Speaking of.
The guards entered the house immediately.
Inside the palace.
"housekeeper."
"Dozens of people suddenly showed up outside, claiming they had something important to discuss with the lady."
“And they call themselves the Black Ice Platform.” The guard looked at the butler with a puzzled look on his face.
The butler's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and then he said, "Isn't it negligent?"
"No."
The guard nodded, then asked in surprise: "Butler, what is this Black Ice Platform? Why have I never heard of it?"
"Don't worry about it. Just be aware that this is something that cannot be offended."
"Also, you can't talk nonsense about what happened today, otherwise you will lose your life, as well as the lives of your entire family."
The butler said to the guard with a serious face.
Seeing the butler's serious expression, the guard's expression changed slightly, and then he nodded repeatedly.
"Take me there quickly." said the butler again.
"Butler, please, they are at the back door." The guard said immediately.
soon.
When the butler arrived at the back door.
When he saw the leader, he was shocked: "It's the leader himself."
As a secret agent of the Black Ice Platform, and an secret agent assigned to the Zhao Mansion, he naturally knew Shouzun Dunruo.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
The butler naturally pretended not to know him, clasped his fists and looked at Dun Ruo.
"The court has a secret report to inform Madam Zhao. Please lead the way." Dun Ruo said immediately.
"Do you have a token?" the butler asked.
Dun Ruo did not hesitate and took out a token from his arms and handed it to the butler.
The butler took it and looked at it, then immediately said, "Please enter the mansion."
"I will go and inform Madam first." The housekeeper said immediately.
Then.
He immediately walked towards the mansion.
And Dun Ruo followed closely forward.
And behind Dun Ruo.
Ying Zheng mixed in with the secret agents of the Black Ice Platform and walked slowly towards the palace.
After entering the mansion.
Even as a king, Ying Zheng was filled with anxiety and anticipation at this moment.
"Afang."
"I am coming."
"Although I know you don't want to meet me, I must see you and I must give you an explanation." Ying Zheng clenched his hands, feeling uneasy and complicated.
The palace.
Small courtyard.
"lady."
"Someone from the court is here to see you."
The butler stood outside the yard and said respectfully.
"Why are you looking for me at night?"
"Is there something urgent?" Zhao asked puzzled.
But she also walked out of the room slowly, and seeing that she was wearing clothes, it was obvious that she had not fallen asleep yet.
At this time.
Dun Ruo stepped forward.
"You should step down first."
Dun Ruo said to the housekeeper.
Then.
A group of Black Ice Terrace secret soldiers quickly approached and surrounded the entire small courtyard.
"Let's go, let's go."
The butler immediately asked the guards and maids around to leave.
See this scene.
Zhao's expression changed.
There is a vague feeling of uneasiness in my heart.
"Who are you?"
Zhao's face changed, and the first thing he thought of was someone from the enemy country.
"Don't panic, ma'am."
Dun Ruo bowed to Zhao Sheng.
Then he waved his hand.
Many secret soldiers dispersed and retreated outside the yard.
Dun Ruo did the same and retreated directly, while Zhao was shocked and confused.
Until this moment.
When Ying Zheng slowly walked in from outside the yard.
Zhao's expression changed instantly, and a complex emotion appeared in her eyes.
Surprise, shock, confusion, astonishment.
All kinds of emotions appeared in Zhao's eyes.
But only for a moment.
Zhao turned around and walked towards the room.
But the moment she turned around.
"Afang."
Ying Zheng called softly, with a look of surprise and uneasiness on his face.
Hear the sound.
Zhao's heart trembled and her feet stopped unconsciously.
"You...you got the wrong person."
Zhao replied in a trembling voice.
"Afang, do you think I would admit my mistake even to you?"
"If even you admit your mistake."
"Then I should have died in Handan."
Ying Zheng said dimly.
"You shouldn't have come."
"Since you know I'm here, you should know that I don't want to see you." Zhao replied in a trembling voice, suppressing the pain in her heart.
"I know you don't want to see me."
"But I have to see you."
"For my previous promise, and even more for you."
"Moreover, I want to apologize to you."
"sorry."
"Brother Zheng didn't protect you well at the beginning."
Ying Zheng walked slowly behind Zhao and spoke in a gentle voice.
Hear the sound.
Zhao's delicate body trembled again.
"I'm already married, and I have no connection with you anymore. You can go back."
"Even if I'm sorry for you." Zhao gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice.
It seemed that saying this sentence took all of Zhao Sheng's strength.
But Ying Zheng just walked forward and hugged Zhao tightly.
"Afang."
"Don't lie to me."
"You're not married at all."
"I have already checked it out. You are taking someone else's identity."
"Zhao Wu is indeed from this village, but his wife is not, and his wife is living well in another village."
"Zhao Feng, Zhao Ying, they are all my children." Ying Zheng said in a gentle voice. There was no domineering majesty in his tone as before, only a kind of tenderness that came from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing this.
Zhao didn't know what to say.
Feeling the solidity behind him, Zhao stopped moving.
"I can't let Feng'er and the others be put in danger again."
"I won't go back to that place." Zhao said in a trembling voice.
"Don't you think I can protect you now?" Ying Zheng said gently.
"No."
Zhao turned around and shook her head with a gentle look: "If I were still alone now, I would be willing to go back with you, because I am not afraid of death."
"But now we have Feng'er and Ying'er."
“And my two grandchildren.”
"I'm not going to put them in danger."
"Now Feng'er has achieved this point, it is enough."
"Once I go back, Feng'er will be pushed to the forefront. Feng'er and the others will be targeted by them, and the past may even repeat itself."
"Have you forgotten what happened in Xianyang City that night?"
“They’ll do anything to get that position.”
"I really don't want to face it again." Zhao said sadly.
"Today's Xianyang is no longer what it once was, and today's Great Qin is no longer what it once was."
"If they dare to show up, I will definitely wipe out their entire clan. I promise you."
"Don't you believe me?"
"And..." Ying Zheng smiled and looked at Zhao and said, "I didn't come here to take you back to Xianyang by force this time. I just wanted to confirm whether it was you."
Xia Dong'er raised her head and looked at Ying Zheng in confusion: "How did you know?"
"The secret agents of the Black Ice Platform are in this mansion. I asked them to draw a portrait of you."
"Afang."
"No matter what you look like, even if it's just a portrait, I can recognize you." Ying Zheng said in a gentle voice, with no concealment of friendship in his eyes.
"Brother Zheng, you can find better."
"I'm just an ordinary female doctor." Xia Dong'er shook her head.
"No, you're the only one."
"When we were in Handan, we worshipped heaven and earth."
"You are my only wife."
"And you are my future queen. That position will always be reserved for you." Ying Zheng said in a gentle voice.
To this.
Xia Dong'er still shook her head.
"Afang."
"Don't worry."
"I won't let Feng'er and the others be put in danger."
"However, the future position of crown prince will definitely belong to Feng'er."
"No one can take it away." Ying Zheng said to Xia Dong'er with an assuring tone.
"No..." Xia Dong'er subconsciously raised her head and was about to object.
"Don't even think about refusing."
"I want Feng'er to be the crown prince, not just because he is our son."
"It's because there's no one else who's suitable except him."
"certainly."
"Don't worry, either."
"I promise you that I won't put you in danger. I also know that those people will do anything to achieve their goals."
"So, I will let Feng'er reach the top step by step, let him reach that position naturally, and no one can stop him." Ying Zheng said very firmly.
"But..." Xia Dong'er still looked worried.
If possible.
She didn't want her son to take on such a dangerous position.
It seems glorious, and it seems like there will be power in the future.
But in her mind was all the embarrassment that Ying Zheng had experienced when he first ascended the throne, and he was helpless.
Would his son really be happy after he got to that position? "No buts."
"He is my son, with the blood of the Qin royal family. He is the eldest son and your son, so he is the legitimate son."
"Everything is going smoothly and no one can object to it."
"Besides, Afang..." Ying Zheng looked at Xia Dong'er deeply: "Feng'er has grown up. He doesn't need you to make the decision for him in everything. How do you know he doesn't want to?"
"Perhaps, after he knew that he was my son and that he was the eldest son of the Qin royal family, he would be interested in that position."
"I promise."
"Even if it really comes to that in the future, I will ask for his opinion. If he doesn't want to, I won't force him."
"Okay?"
Ying Zheng looked at Xia Dong'er and said very gently.
He naturally knew Xia Dong'er's character. In order to protect her two children, she hid in this sand village for more than 20 years. In order not to be implicated again, she gave up everything and even hadn't seen her father for many years.
Everything is to protect Zhao Feng and Zhao Ying.
I escaped death in Xianyang, there was chaos and war, and rivers of blood flowed.
Even after so many years, Xia Dong'er will never forget it.
Because of this, Ying Zheng did not directly force Xia Dong'er to go back to Xianyang with him, because he understood.
but.
These words to Xia Dong'er were partly due to Ying Zheng's guilt towards her, and thus he made a promise to her that she would be the queen in the future and fulfill his past promise.
Secondly, it is for the future of Daqin.
Fusu, Huhai, and other sons, none of them had the ability to inherit such a huge empire.
Among the younger generation, there is only Zhao Feng.
once.
Ying Zheng thought, how great it would be if Zhao Feng was his son, then the Qin Dynasty would have a future heir.
now.
The wish came true.
Zhao Feng is really his son.
Or he had it with the woman he loved most.
The moment he knew this, Ying Zheng was naturally extremely grateful for God's protection.
Looking at the gentle yet domineering Ying Zheng in front of her, Xia Dong'er looked at him tenderly with her beautiful eyes. She wanted to refuse, but she didn't know how to refuse.
