single husband's heart

In the autumn of [-] BC, Qin State, Xianyang.

"Your Majesty, are you not injured?" Meng Jia, who had been hiding aside, saw that the assassin had been subdued, so he rushed forward to express his concern to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng stopped and stared at Meng Jia silently, which only made him flustered.

"Your Majesty!" Meng Jia fell to his knees with a plop as soon as his knees softened. "I only thought that Jing and Ke came here sincerely, so I introduced them on my behalf. Who knew that they had something wrong in their hearts! I can't absolve myself of the responsibility even if I die! Just ask your majesty to be careful, I am loyal, and the sun and the moon can learn from it!"

Ying Zheng looked down at the servants who were kneeling at his feet, only to hear him continue to argue: "This must be the scheme of Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom. This person has ulterior motives. I, Daqin, have to be on guard..."

"Enough!" Ying Zheng interrupted, his voice was full of anger, causing Meng Jia to shut his mouth tremblingly, lowering his head and not daring to make a sound.He was tremblingly waiting for Ying Zheng to deal with him——as King Qin's close servant, Meng Jia was very clear about Ying Zheng's rewards and punishments.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but Meng Jia didn't wait for any movement.Boldly, he raised his head slightly, only to see that Ying Zheng was staring in the direction of the palace gate, and there were only hundreds of officials filing out there.

"Kings……"

"Well, you—" Ying Zheng came back to his senses, frowned and turned his gaze back to Meng Jia.When he was about to send him off, he just opened his mouth, feeling exhausted.He was slightly surprised, because he hadn't felt this powerless feeling for many years.He knew where this emotion came from, but he was still shocked by its intensity.

"This time—let's spare you." Ying Zheng finally just waved his hand. "You are still loyal."

Meng Jia was stunned for a moment, but when he realized it, he couldn't help but be ecstatic!It seems that he has served Ying Zheng for so many years, and it is not insignificant——

"Don't think too much about it." Ying Zheng's light words shattered Meng Jia's joy. "I don't pursue it today, just because... because..." His voice gradually lowered, and Meng Jia couldn't hear what it was for. "If one day that money weighs more in your heart than the position of the bastard, don't blame Gu for missing the affection of these years."

The king knew what he was doing, but he didn't expose it!

Meng Jia's forehead broke out in cold sweat, but he didn't realize it.

"Get up." Ying Zheng turned and walked towards the apse.

"Yes." Meng Jia immediately got up from the ground as if he had received an amnesty, ignoring the soreness of his knees. "Wang, are you all right? Do you want to let Doctor Xia take a look?" He said, turning his head to search for Xia Wuqie. "Strange, where did Doctor Xia go..."

"No need." Ying Zheng turned around suddenly, frowning and hesitated. "Xia Wuqie must have been frightened, so don't go to him yet."

"Ah? Ah, yes!" Meng Jia could only respond, but wondered in his heart when King Qin was so merciful.It seems that the childhood friendship between Xia Wuqiu and the king is not light, and it is the best policy to treat this person well in the future.

Seeing that Jing Ke had been subdued, and Ying Zheng didn't call him, Xia left the hall without a trace, and rushed to his room anxiously.As soon as he opened the door, he saw that person sitting at the table, playing with Xia Wuqie's cup in his hand, his eyes were empty, thinking about something.

"Prince—" Xia Wuqiu almost rushed forward, he was eager to ask something, but he didn't know where to start.

"Huh?" Yan Dan came back to his senses, saw Xia Wuqie's expression, and smiled reassuringly.But Xia Wuju saw bitterness in that smile. "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

"Prince, King Qin is afraid that he saw you—"

"Yes, I know." Yan Dan nodded.

"Then—" Xia Wuqiu was so anxious that she scratched her heart and liver, but Yan Dan still remained calm.

"Since he didn't arrest me on the spot, it means that he recognized my current identity - not Prince Dan of Yan Kingdom, but an ordinary, new medical officer. I know him, and he also - trusts me .”

"Don't worry, Ying Zheng won't make things difficult for you. I'm afraid he will value you even more." Yan Dan winked at Xia Wuqie.

"Prince, I don't—" Xia Wuju heard the meaning of Yan Dan's words, and felt a little ominous.

"This is my last order as your superior." Yan Dan sat up straight, and the smile in his eyes disappeared at some point. "Xia Wuqie, I order you to spend the rest of your life peacefully as a medical officer of the Qin State. From today on, Yandan will have nothing to do with you."

"Prince! You - you can't -" Xia Wu was shocked.

"No, I understand. You love me and want to share with me. But your mission has been completed. If you have anything to do, it is to treat yourself well so that I don't feel so guilty. I—— I'm sorry to Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang, but there is no other way, everything owed in this life can only be repaid in the future. But you, Wu Qi, you still have the chance to live well, please cherish it."

Looking at Yan Dan's sincere eyes, Xia Wuqi suddenly realized that Yan Dan was very, very tired.When things are arranged that he can't let go of—or something that he is ashamed of, he will meet his final destiny with peace of mind.Xia Wuju realized it, but had no other way.It cannot be blocked, because this is Yandan's own choice.

"No, if you are still worried, you can take it as an atonement for me."

Obviously I am the first unfortunate person, but I don't take my misfortune to heart, what I think about is only those people I am ashamed of.

What is the level of this person's nobility?

Xia Wuju saluted Yan Dan with tears in his eyes.Yan Dan seldom asked Xia Wuqi to give him such a big gift, but this time he accepted it with a comforting smile.

When his forehead hit the bluestone floor heavily, Xia Wu and clearly realized that this was the last time.Although they rarely met in the past, the two of them are in the same boat after all.This time, they are really going to be strangers.

Two days later, the "new medical officer Ji" was ruthlessly expelled from Qin Palace because he "made some mistakes".In just over a dozen days, Medical Officer Ji had already made friends with a group of colleagues by virtue of his stable and generous image, so at this time, all the medical officers felt that such a gentle and kind-hearted person was expelled?I'm afraid I offended whoever is in charge.

"This guy is really nice, but he's not someone who works in official circles." Medical Officer Dong concluded shaking his head.

When Xia Wuju heard this sentence by accident, he couldn't laugh or cry, but he was extremely sour.

Prince Dan, not suitable for a power struggle?

Maybe that temperament is not suitable, but his talent in this area is no worse than anyone else.

Yan Dan's words were indeed correct: Ying Zheng did not punish Xia Wuqiu, but valued him even more.When Ying Zheng sternly criticized a group of courtiers who did nothing in the court, but said alone, "Love me if you don't love me, you can lift Jing Ke with a medicine bag", Xia Wuqi felt the surprise, envy and enthusiasm projected on him by the courtiers. jealous stare.But he vaguely knew that the reason why Ying Zheng rewarded him was not because of his insignificant medicine bag.

Maybe, Ying Zheng just wants Yan Dan to feel at ease - he can't pardon Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang's assassination, at least, it will be better for Xia Wu.

Most of the two hundred gold that Yingzheng rewarded was given to senior brother Gongsun Jigong.Without Yan State's affairs to deal with, Gongsun Jigong's medical clinic gradually developed, but within a year it had become famous, and there was an endless stream of people seeking medical treatment.Gongsun Jigong said to Xia Wuqie while being stunned: "See, your senior brother and I are still strong after all." However, sometimes he couldn't help feeling: "When we are old, we will also tell the stories we witnessed when we were young. Tell your children and grandchildren."

Xia Wuqiu smiled and punctured his fantasy: "It seems that you can marry a girl with this virtue."

Everything is moving forward in an orderly manner, and the days are getting dull.Of course those political disputes have never stopped, but they have nothing to do with Xia Wuju.

Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, just like what Yan Dan said, gave Ying Zheng an opportunity.Of course, Ying Zheng did not waste Yan Dan's painstaking efforts.In the following year, the King of Qin defeated Prince Yan's army and captured Jicheng.

One day, when Yingzheng was reviewing the memorial and Xia Wuju was standing by, Meng Jia reported with a look of joy: "King Yan knew that he was invincible, so he beheaded the head of Prince Dan and offered it to Qin! Your Majesty, please Bring it up?"

Xia Wuju watched Ying Zheng tremble all over, and the pen in his hand slashed heavily across the bamboo slips, leaving a thick and deep ink mark.However, when he spoke, his voice was calm.

"No, there's no need to present it." After a moment's pause, he finally added. "With the ceremony of a prince, I will be buried generously."

After Meng Jia withdrew, Ying Zheng's eyes quickly turned red.He was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked to the void: "You already knew, didn't you?"

Xia Wuju knew that Ying Zheng was asking him, but he didn't answer.He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a water stain on his cheek.

"Me too, I knew it a long time ago... I knew it a long time ago, but I can't help it..."

At that moment, the invincible king seemed to suddenly grow old.

In the 26th year of Qin Wangzheng, Qin Guochu annexed the world.Yingzheng proclaims himself emperor, and Vientiane is renewed.

But few people know that this powerful and prosperous empire has come to this day through the corpses of many people.Among them, there is a young man who is unparalleled in the world, willing to give up himself for the sake of the general trend of the world.

This is Yandan's misfortune, and it may not be Yingzheng's.

In this story, perhaps only Xia Wuqiu and Gongsun Jigong are lucky.Many years later, when the octogenarian Gongsun Jigong finally fulfilled his words—telling these unusual things to his children and grandchildren—he still couldn’t help sighing.

It is said that Emperor Shihuang is the first cruel person in the world today, but the world does not know that the person who made him soften is gone forever.

The author has something to say: Please allow me to look up to the sky and roar three times: "It's finally over!!!"

This article has been dragged on for so long, and I started writing it since the winter vacation last year. During this period, I have experienced many things, and my writing style and knowledge have changed, so the style of writing may be a bit distorted ==I think that I must finish writing before this year’s winter vacation Well, it would be even more distorted if it dragged on, so I stayed up all night to speed up and finish it.But it is definitely not unfinished, because I just wanted to write a short essay, and I only planned to write fourteen chapters.Well, I don’t know if I will write a small story to complete the fourteen chapters in the future.

I don't know if anyone still reads this article, or if anyone will poke in and read it in the future.But as an obsessive-compulsive disorder, I will not let my brain hole be open like this all the time.This will make me feel sorry for the (even if very little) energy I spent on this article, and I will also feel sorry for the cover that Tudou made for me...

All the people who poked in, and those who left comments, love you guys! ! !
