Chapter 188 Xia Wuqie: How are you going to treat Feng'er?

Seeing Ying Zheng's happy expression, Xia Wuqi completely relaxed and sat directly next to Ying Zheng.

"You look so happy."

"I think Dong'er is relieved now. However, I'm very curious about how you make Dong'er not hide when he sees you." Xia Wuqie said with a smile.

Upon hearing this.

Ying Zheng immediately smiled and said, "Father-in-law, I was worried that she wouldn't see me, so I went there secretly at night. She didn't even know I had discovered her, and after seeing me, she had no chance to leave."

Having said that.

There was a hint of pride in Ying Zheng's tone.

"So did anyone know you were going to the dunes?"

Xia Wuqi suddenly thought of something and his face changed.

"Father-in-law, don't worry."

"I won't do things without thinking about the beginning and the end."

"When I first went there, I went to Yongcheng under the pretext of celebrating the birthday of Queen Mother Huayang, and then I went out under the pretext of hunting. No one knew about it except the people of Black Ice Terrace."

"No one else knows about the existence of Afang and the relationship between Feng'er and me." Ying Zheng explained immediately.

He naturally knew what Xia Wuqi was worried about.

"That's good."

"I believe you know what Dong'er is worried about."

"Although I have only been with Dong'er for a month since I saw her, I can see that the incident still left a shadow on her. She dares not come to Xianyang again, and this has become a mental illness." Xia Wuqie sighed.

A hint of coldness appeared on Ying Zheng's face: "Father-in-law, don't worry."

"In the future, I will completely eliminate her worries."

"In this Great Qin, in this world, she is the only one who is my wife, and she is the only one who is worthy of being the queen of the Great Qin."

Hearing this, Xia Wuqi naturally understood Ying Zheng's feelings for his daughter, but when he thought about the current court and the royal family.

"These years."

"The court and even the royal family have been suppressed by the king's power. There are also many new nobles in the court who are personally supported by the king, but those people back then are still powerful."

"If they knew about Dong'er's existence, and if they knew that Zhao Feng and his sister were the king's children, there would definitely be another disturbance."

"Your Majesty, how do you plan to arrange Feng'er and the others in the future?" Xia Wuqie stared at Ying Zheng and said.

"father in law."

"You are testing me."

Ying Zheng just smiled.

Then.

He said without disguising, "Afang will be the queen of the Qin Dynasty in the future, and Feng'er will be my eldest son, the legitimate crown prince of the Qin Dynasty in the future."

Hearing this.

Xia Wuqi's heart moved and he was also a little happy.

Although he is old, he doesn't care about these so-called powers.

But thinking of his grandson, Xia Wuqi naturally had to ask.

after all.

This position is the throne.

If possible, why wouldn't Xia Wuqi let his grandson sit on it?

"Your Majesty."

"We can't bring Dong'er back now, and we can't reveal Feng'er's identity."

"Once it leaks out, the court will inevitably be unstable." Xia Wuqie said seriously.

now.

Although there were disputes in the court, they all had a common thought, which was to contribute to the Qin Dynasty, wipe out all the countries, and unify the world.

Some of them seek to leave their names in history by creating great achievements, while most of them do so for greater benefits and power.

It is precisely because of this goal that the court officials are united together.

And in the court.

There are quite a few people who support Fusu, and they are all old nobles and royal family members. Their power cannot be underestimated.

It can be said that Fusu's ascension to the throne represents their interests. If Zhao Feng is pushed out too early, it will definitely cause turmoil for Zhao Feng, for his daughter, and even for the entire Qin Dynasty.

The various countries still exist, and the world is still not unified.

Therefore, we must still rely on the power of the old nobles.

If Xia Dong'er came back.

If the identities of Zhao Feng and his sister were revealed.

This is definitely not a good thing.

Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and the others had all experienced what happened back then, and they knew very well how important Xia Dong'er was in Ying Zheng's heart. There was no need to say more about the status of their offspring, it was absolutely stable.

Once Zhao Feng's identity is revealed, they will definitely not obey, and it will inevitably cause internal strife in the Qin Dynasty.

It also had a great impact on the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world.

Historically.

Qin Shi Huang unified the world by relying on the united strength of the whole country and the full deployment of millions of elite soldiers.

Civil officials governed, allocated food and supplies, and distributed pensions.

Military generals led troops to conquer.

None of these links can be overlooked.

"How could I not understand these things?"

"Don't worry, father-in-law."

"Before I completely unify the world, I will not let Afang, Feng'er and the others be put in danger again."

"I will use this road to destroy all the countries to let Feng'er take charge of the entire army, so that no one can harm them."

"After I unify the world, I won't need to use the power of those old nobles anymore, and I will naturally not be afraid of them." Ying Zheng replied with a smile. Although his tone was gentle, the firmness and domineeringness contained in his words were not concealed.

"That's good." Xia Wuqi nodded immediately.

"Then this time, father-in-law should not leave, right?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.

"No, no, no."

"I will stay in Xianyang and wait for Dong'er to come home."

"Besides, you still owe Dong'er a wedding banquet."

"I didn't participate." Xia Wuqie replied with a smile.

Ying Zheng immediately assured: "Please rest assured, father-in-law, I will definitely give Dong'er the most grand wedding banquet in the world, so that everyone in the world can witness it."

"Speaking of which."

"You really made the right decision when you hosted Feng'er's wedding banquet."

"Otherwise, you would have missed Feng'er's wedding."

Recalling the time when Zhao Feng held his wedding banquet in Xianyang and Ying Zheng sat at the seat of elders, Xia Wuqi laughed again.

"Perhaps this is a blessing from heaven, destined."

"God, always bless me." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"indeed."

"God has been kind to our family." Xia Wuqie nodded in agreement.

At this time.

"Aong."

"Here we are."

"Why is the door closed?"

Zhao Qi's voice came over.

"Open the door, open the door." Zhao Ling also knocked on the door gently.

"Young Master, Young Miss."

"The king is in a meeting inside, please wait a moment."

Zhao Gao's voice sounded anxious and uneasy.

As for these two little guys, he has seen with his own eyes how much the king dotes on them over the past few days. Moreover, they are the children of General Zhao Feng, who is currently the most powerful general. Although he is in charge of the palace, he dare not offend them.

"Your Majesty, are these Feng'er's two children?"

Although he hadn't heard the sound for a long time, Xia Wuqi recognized it immediately.

After all, we spent some time together in the dunes.

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded with a smile.

"How could they enter the palace?" Xia Wuqie asked worriedly.

"Don't worry."

"No one knows about our relationship. To outsiders, their entry into the palace is my favor to Zhao Feng's family. It's also because I like these two little guys, and I want them to relieve my fatigue." Ying Zheng smiled immediately.

"That's good." Xia Wuqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then.

Ying Zheng shouted, "Let them in."

Hear Ying Zheng's voice.

Zhao Gao immediately opened the door.

Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling immediately broke free from their restraints and ran into the hall.

"Aunt, we are here."

"Hey, this is Mr. Zeng."

Zhao Qi stopped and immediately saw Xia Wuqi.

"Do you still remember me?" Xia Wuqi immediately squatted down and asked kindly.

"Remember."

Zhao Qi nodded.

"Hahaha, come, let Mr. Zeng see how heavy you are." Xia Wuqie spread out his hands and looked at the two little guys expectantly.

Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling rushed over immediately.

And at this time.

Zhao Gao took a secret look and was not surprised. Instead, he sensibly retreated and closed the palace door.

"Wow, it's been such a short time since we last saw you, and you've really grown taller." Xia Wuqie was holding one in each hand. He was almost sixty years old, but still very strong.

In this era.

Sixty years old is considered a long life.

"Your Majesty."

"Do these two little guys often come into the palace?" Xia Wuqi turned his head and asked with a smile.

"At first, it came once every few days, but then I got used to it and it came every day." Ying Zheng said kindly.

Think about the very beginning.

Or he uses all kinds of food to tempt him, just to cultivate feelings with his grandson and make up for his debt to Zhao Feng and his sister.

But as they became familiar with each other, the two little guys completely regarded Ying Zheng as a close person and were no longer afraid of him.

In the past, their mother had to come to send them off, but now the two little ones were directly sent to the palace by the carriage in the mansion.

certainly.

With the protection of the Imperial Guards and the guards of the Zhao Mansion, nothing will go wrong.

"It seems that they have completely gotten used to it." Xia Wuqie also smiled with emotion.

"I will naturally make up for the wrong I did to the two siblings." Ying Zheng said very gently, looking at the two little ones with a kindness in his eyes that no prince or princess in the palace had ever felt before.

The children born to concubines in the harem are all continuations of the bloodline.

This is what a king must do, to establish the royal family.

But what is in front of him is the bloodline that he and his beloved one continue. In addition to the blood inheritance, it is more of a family bond.

If Ying Zheng had always lived in the Xianyang Palace, he might not have felt the bond of family affection and it would have been difficult for him to have any emotions. However, he had been a hostage in the State of Zhao, experienced all the sufferings of the world, and endured inhuman humiliation. The only person who had always been by his side was Xia Dong'er. How could he not cherish such a wife who had shared his hardships with him?

"Honestly."

“I’m kind of looking forward to the future.”

"The family lives together openly and honestly."

Looking at the two great-grandsons in his arms, Xia Wuqie spoke slowly, his eyes full of longing.

…

Fusu Mansion! "Sir."

"The king has approved the errand I've arranged for you this time."

"only."

"Hu Hai was also allowed to handle logistics allocation matters."

"The king has allowed the two young masters to participate, which is also a test. Please rest assured that the old ministers and others will do their best to pave the way for you and help you achieve political achievements."

Wang Wan sat in front of Fusu and said with a smile on his face.

"Then I'll trouble you, Prime Minister."

"I will do my best in the statistics and allocation of grain and fodder this time, and will never let the king down." Fusu said immediately.

"Sir."

"In addition to the issue of food and logistics, there is another matter that I need to discuss with you, young master." Wang Wan said with a serious face.

"Please speak, Lord Wang."

Seeing Wang Wan so serious, Fusu also became serious.

"The king is now nearly forty, and the position of the master of the palace is still vacant."

"Many court officials mentioned this matter in the past, but the king ignored them all."

"Now, I think it's a great opportunity."

"As the leader of all the other princes, you are both virtuous and talented. Your reputation has spread throughout Xianyang, and everyone knows that you are virtuous."

"A mother's status is determined by her son. It is reasonable that the young master's mother should become the head of the harem, the Queen of Qin."

“Now that our Great Qin has destroyed Zhao and Han, we only need to wait for the destruction of Wei this time, and the Three Jins will be annexed by Qin, and half of the world will belong to our Great Qin. At such a joyous time, if some old ministers jointly submit a petition to establish a queen to stabilize the foundation of the country, I believe that Your Majesty will definitely not find a reason to refuse.” Wang Wan said with a proud look on his old face.

"But."

"Will my father really nod his head?" Fusu was a little skeptical.

“Man proposes.”

"Your Majesty has been dragging it out for so many years, and now you must consider this matter."

“The foundation of a country cannot be lost, and the future of a country cannot be lost.”

"Don't worry about this matter, young master."

"I have already passed the instructions." Wang Wan assured Fusu.

See here.

Fusu also nodded: "In that case, I will trouble you, King."

"You don't need to do this, sir."

"The reason why the old ministers and others assist you is to see you become the crown prince and the King of Qin in the future."

"certainly."

"I may not see the day when you ascend the throne, but I hope you will not forget my support and it will be enough for you to take care of my family." Wang Wan stood up and bowed to Fusu.

Fusu also quickly stood up and helped Wang Wan up.

"Fusu will never forget the king's assistance." Fusu said solemnly.

Wang Wan felt relieved when he heard Fusu's statement.

The reason why he went to great lengths to support Fusu was, firstly, that Fusu was the eldest son, and secondly, that Fusu was kind and righteous, and would repay a favor. If he assisted him with all his strength, the royal family would definitely enjoy power and wealth in the future.

"Sir."

"Xia Wuqi is back." Wang Wan suddenly said.

"Didn't Doctor Xia go traveling?"

"Now he's back." Fusu was very calm.

"Young Master, don't you understand what I mean?" Wang Wan smiled.

"What do you mean?" Fusu looked confused.

"Xia Wuqie's status in the eyes of the king is not low. His words can even compare to those of the entire court."

"If you can please Xia Wuqie and gain his approval, then your future position as crown prince will be secured." Wang Wan said very seriously.

Fusu was stunned and asked in surprise: "He is just a great doctor, how can he influence the position of the crown prince?"

"He is no ordinary doctor." Wang Wan said with some emotion.

"I don't know much about Xia Wuqie, I just know that he is an excellent doctor."

"Besides this, I don't know anything else," said Fusu.

"I have something to tell you, sir. You must not tell anyone else. Otherwise, the king will be angry and may even slander you."

"This matter can only be regarded as a warning from this old minister to you. This matter is the weak spot of Your Majesty." Wang Wan suddenly said in a very serious tone.

Obviously.

Regarding this matter.

Even though so many years have passed, Wang Wan still feels a sense of piercing pain every time he thinks of it.

There was the bloodbath in the palace, the killing that swept through the palace.

Even after that.

Wang Wan still vividly remembers the massacre of thousands of people after the king took power.

"Could it be that my father's weak spot is related to this great doctor Xia Wuqie?" Fusu's expression also became surprised.

"If there hadn't been the bloodbath in the palace."

"This Xia Wuqi may already be the father-in-law of the King of Qin." Wang Wan slowly opened his mouth and confided.

"What?"

"Father-in-law?"

Fusu was also stunned. He had never expected this.

After a long time.

Fusu came back to his senses and asked in confusion: "But there is no Madam Xia in the palace. Could she have died of illness?"

"But I have never heard of any lady in the palace dying of illness. Could it be that she died before I was born?"

Seeing Fusu's doubts, Wang Wan shook his head and said, "At that time, the woman had not even married the king. At that time, the king had just ascended the throne. After the mourning period, the king said that he would make the woman the queen. This move was naturally opposed by most of the court officials, even the queen mother and the arrogant royal family. They all opposed it."

"Although the woman is favored by the king, she is only a female doctor after all, and her status is not high, so the whole court is opposed to it."

"Especially the Queen Mother at that time, she tried her best to stop it."

Fusu was stunned and asked in surprise: "As far as I know, the status of our grandmother, the Queen Mother, was not high, right?"

As soon as these words fell.

Wang Wan's expression changed slightly, and then he shook his head: "The situation is different."

"When the Queen Mother returned to Qin, the late King had not yet ascended the throne. Moreover, the King was already ten years old at that time, and he was the eldest son."

"Or maybe it's because of the son that a mother is honored."

"Although Xia Wuqie's daughter has a deep relationship with the king, she has no children after all, and no maternal family to rely on. Although Xia Wuqie is a great doctor, he is only a physician after all. He has no power or influence, so how can he protect her?"

Fusu nodded and asked, "What happened to Doctor Xia's daughter?"

"Can't even my father protect her?"

Fusu actually had some doubts about the last sentence in his heart.

How domineering and powerful his father is.

In Fusu's view, there is almost nothing in this world that can cause trouble to his father.

"Sir."

"If it was the current king, he would certainly be able to protect him."

"But the king who first ascended the throne was only thirteen years old."

"After all, he is just a young boy. How can he protect him?" Wang Wan shook his head.

"Is Doctor Xia's daughter dead?" Fusu was shocked.

"kindness."

Wang Wan nodded heavily: "He died in the palace massacre."

"Who is so bold? How dare to kill people in the palace?"

"Besides, who dares to do it?"

"If you take action, you will die."
