Great Qin Shi Empress
Chapter 33 045~048
==·Disaster Relief·==
Lin Qian soon found out about the news. He thought that Ying Zheng would be furious when he heard about it, but to his surprise, Ying Zheng was not only not angry, but seemed to...
No surprises?
Lin Qian was a little uncertain about what was going on, and even couldn't help guessing...
【Yan Taizi Dan's escape could not have been caused by Ying Zheng's secret release, or simply led by him?Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to know that he is the mastermind behind Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Qin, and he would leave a loophole for people to escape, right? 】
But even if the two of them were kneeling and sitting together, Lin Qian couldn't see anything unusual on Ying Zheng's face.
She has some doubts about life——
Ying Zheng is really amazing. Whenever Lin Qian is almost 100% sure that he can hear her heartbeat, something will happen afterwards that makes her doubt her own feelings.
Just like this time.
But even so, Lin Qian still thinks that there is an [-]% to [-]% chance that Ying Zheng can read minds.
……
Yan Taizidan's escape did not cause much impact in the Qin State. Apart from ensuring the food and grass for the frontline soldiers, the court almost devoted all its energy to disaster relief for Shu County.
Carloads of grain were sent to Shu County non-stop, and disaster relief officials and soldiers also rushed to Shu County in the fastest time.
However, ancient buildings, especially the houses of ordinary people, are extremely difficult to resist earthquakes. What's more, the weather is getting colder now, and the people still have the effects of keeping warm and suffering from diseases caused by the cooling.
The situation is not optimistic.
Yingzheng sent Wang Wan to take charge of this matter at the beginning, and his appearance really reassured the people of Shu County a lot.
But as the festival approaches, people's emotions will inevitably fluctuate.
I and my family had worked hard for a year and had a good harvest, but an earthquake destroyed everything, and it was almost New Year's Eve, and the destroyed home hadn't been rebuilt yet, and they couldn't even eat full--
Nearly half of the newly harvested grain was transported to the front line, and the imperial court had to reserve a portion to prepare for the subsequent war. Although most of the remaining grain was sent to Shu County, in order to make this part of the grain last longer, Wang Wan didn't dare to let go and let every commoner eat their fill.
The mood of the people was extremely low.
Wang Wan quickly sensed the crisis, and quickly reported the matter to Ying Zheng.
There is actually no particularly good solution to this matter other than speeding up the reconstruction and sending more food, but the hidden danger of letting the people down is indeed great.
After Yingzheng learned of this, he simply took Fusu and several other older sons to Shu County.
I don't know what he was thinking, but at such an important moment, he even brought Lin Qian over there.
Lin Qian himself felt baffled.
Wang Wan still remembered the conversation at the time, and was deeply impressed by Bazi Lin.
But because Lin Bazi still has something to say, and His Majesty never listened to Lin Bazi's opinion, even though he didn't agree with Lin Bazi's suggestion that women should have the opportunity to read and write, enter the officialdom, join the army, etc., he never agreed. Comment on His Majesty's taking it with him.
After Yingzheng arrived in Shu County, under the protection of Meng Tian and others, he quickly summoned representatives elected by local officials and the people.
He himself is actually very taciturn, and he is definitely not approachable, but he can patiently care about local affairs and people's livelihood in front of these low-level officials and representatives of the people.
"Shu County has always been the granary of the Qin State. Qin State can become as powerful as it is today, which is not unrelated to the diligence of the officials of the Shu County and the hard work of the people..."
"Don't worry, everyone, the imperial court will fully bear the losses caused by the earthquake..."
"You don't need to refuse, just treat it as the Qin State repaying Shu County for its hard work and dedication over the past few decades..."
When he said these words, there was still not much expression on his face, but both the local officials and the people, as well as Wang Wan and others standing next to him, were all moved.
Even Lin Qian felt that Ying Zheng was shining when he saw Ying Zheng like this.
After seeing the officials and the people, Ying Zheng took Lin Qian, Fusu and others to inspect the areas that were more severely affected by the disaster, and taught Fusu's senior princes how to handle official affairs and appease the people.
It's not that Lin Qian can't go to this kind of place, but Ying Zheng obviously has no plans to take her there.
But there is also an advantage, Ying Zheng allows her to wander around.
Since crossing over, Lin Qian has spent most of his time in Xianyang Palace. When he rarely leaves Xianyang Palace, he only goes to the suburbs to give pointers and watch other people farming. The number of times he goes shopping is also very small.
Of course Lin Qian was happy to be able to come out to play alone.
However, Lin Qian had the most personal experience of the danger level during the Warring States period from the two assassinations of Ying Zheng and himself, so even if he was just going to go out for a stroll, Lin Qian did not hesitate to ask Ying Zheng to specially assign him to protect him. Her Meng Yi.
There are many hills in Shu, and the scenery is still very good.
Lin Qian took Lin Mo out and went straight to the street, but because of the earthquake, there was nothing on the street except for some small bamboo trinkets. She bought two small bamboo baskets and was going to go out of the city to have a look.
Ordinarily, there should be quite a lot of pandas at this time, maybe you can bump into one or two when you go out?
Lin Qian pulled Lin Mo, called Meng Yi and the others, eager to rush out of the city.
Meng Yi didn't understand why she was so happy, but he didn't pour cold water on him, not to mention that he was a half-year-old himself, and he was very happy to be able to go out of the city when he was most curious about the world.
So a group of people went straight to the city gate.
Unexpectedly, when they came to the city gate, Lin Qian and others lined up, and they were about to leave the city gate, when suddenly they heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed from behind.
Lin Qian's heart skipped a beat, and when she turned her head to look, she found that Meng Yi was holding a sword to stop a little girl with a big head and a small body, with extra big eyes.After reading too many literary and artistic works such as novels, film and television dramas, it is easy to know one thing——
The most dangerous people in this world are the elderly, women and children.
Because they are naturally lovable, it is very easy for people to relax their vigilance, and once they have bad intentions, they will be hard to guard against.
So although Lin Qian was surprised, he didn't talk too much.
She just quietly hid behind Meng Yi, and said at the same time: "You are still young, and you can still teach."
Meng Yi looked back at Lin Qian, and explained dumbfoundedly: "She's not an assassin, I'm just..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw the little girl's eyes turned red, and she knelt down on the ground with a "plop": "Sister, I'm so hungry..."
The streets in Shu County are all paved with stone slabs. Usually, the road feels smooth when walking on it, but when you kneel down so suddenly, the pain is so painful that you want to dig out your kneecaps... Ordinary people definitely don't want to experience it.
Lin Qian was startled, and subconsciously stood up from behind Meng Yi, wanting to step forward to help him up.
But after taking two steps, he stopped and looked at Meng Yi.
Meng Yi laughed: "Madam let Lin Mo go."
Lin Qian was about to speak, but Lin Mo had already passed her to the little girl and picked her up.
After the little girl stood up, Lin Mo patted the dirt on her knees.
The little girl looked around at several people, and still looked at Lin Qian eagerly: "Sister, I'm so hungry..."
==Potatoes==
Meng Yi let out a hey in his heart: Is this little girl quite smart?
Lin Qian could not fail to see the little girl's small movements, after all, it was so obvious, but she could indeed see that the little girl was not lying.
Lin Qian touched her body subconsciously, but there was only a small empty basket.
She was a little sorry: "I don't have anything to eat..."
Seeing the disappointment in the little girl's eyes, Lin Qian couldn't help but look back at Lin Mo: "Mother Mo, do you still have any money?"
Lin Mo nodded: "There are still some."
They bought two small baskets on the street just now, and they didn't spend much money at all.
With that said, Lin Mo was about to hand over the money to the little girl.
The little girl shook her head: "I don't want money!"
After speaking, the man turned around and ran away.
Lin Qian wanted to chase subconsciously, but was worried about some danger, so she could only look at Meng Yi.
Meng Yi looked back at his subordinates, and ordered a clever soldier: "Catch up and see what's going on with that little girl."
After the soldier took the order, he immediately chased after him.
After a while, the man came back: "Reporting to Madam, the guard order (official position), the little girl ran home. The humble officer looked carefully, and there seemed to be no adults in the little girl's house, and she had no contact with others. There should be no danger."
Meng Yi nodded: "Madam, would you like to go and have a look?"
Lin Qian nodded quickly.
She asked people to go to a nearby rich family to buy some food, and then led them to the direction where the little girl left.
A group of people quickly entered a small alley under the leadership of the soldiers, and after turning around, they finally came to a very dilapidated small shack.The house was like a frame that was tied up with a few logs randomly, with several layers of straw spread on the top, and the surroundings were nothing but hay mats made of hay and ropes, which were tied to the highest floor with straw ropes. on a piece of wood.
Although it looks passable, but if the wind is a little stronger, the straw mats on the roof and around the house may be blown away.
What's more, there are gaps everywhere in this room, which obviously leaks air.
And all the houses around here are also randomly built with such unreliable wood and straw mats.
Lin Qian had never seen such a dilapidated house except on TV.
The existence of the few people was out of tune with the surroundings, and many curious heads quietly popped up in the surrounding rooms, and the busy women and old people outside couldn't help but look at Lin Qian and the others.
She looked at Meng Yi in astonishment: "Does everyone live in such a house?"
Meng Yi hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty thinks that since the house needs to be rebuilt, it is better to build it better, so as to avoid accidents in the future. So after everyone worked together to build some temporary shelters that can shelter from wind and rain, everyone who is strong Off to help build a real house."
Obviously, these houses are the so-called temporary accommodation.
……
Lin Qian sent some food to the little girl to fill her stomach.
But more, even Lin Qian is powerless to do anything for her——
She couldn't help with post-disaster reconstruction, and she didn't have enough food to feed the little girl, and she didn't dare to give money randomly...
What's more, there are many people like the little girl in Shu County. Even if Lin Qian can save one, he can't save all of them.
While leaving, Lin Qian bumped into another child.
Seeing the same thin appearance as the little girl, Lin Qian couldn't help but heaved a long sigh.
The appearance of adults suffering will not be too touching, but children being starved like that will inevitably make people panic.
After such an accident happened, Lin Qian had no intention of going out, and took the people back to the residence directly.
After all, Yingzheng still has a lot of government affairs to deal with, so he can only stay in Shu County for three days, and he will leave for Xianyang after the time is over.And these three days, in order to appease the local people as much as possible, Ying Zheng went out almost before dawn, and returned to his residence when it was completely dark. He and Lin Qian obviously lived in the same yard, but he was stunned I have never met before.
It wasn't until the time of departure for Xianyang that Ying Zheng finally discovered Lin Qian's abnormality: "Ma'am, what's wrong?"
Lin Qian paused, and asked, "Is the court's food storage not enough?"
Ying Zheng took a deep look at Lin Qian and nodded, "It would certainly be enough for the people of Shu County to eat until the New Year, but the food must be eaten for the autumn harvest next year, so it will be a bit stretched. After all, there is still some food to be sent. When it comes to the front line, the opportunity of a severe drought in Zhao State is once in a lifetime, and Qin State will never miss this opportunity."
Lin Qian endured it, but she couldn't.
She complained in her heart: [Anyway, you will have to stand in a stalemate for a year to win this battle. Why don't you wait a year, call the soldiers back from the front line, and leave all the food for the people of Shu County to eat! 】
Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Lin Qian, but met her innocent eyes: "..."
【Ha, who wouldn't pretend to be stupid! 】
【Do you really want to punish me?If you have the ability, you confess! 】
Ying Zheng: "..."
Seeing that Ying Zheng was deflated, Lin Qian suddenly regained some energy.
But she didn't dare to tease the tiger's whiskers too much. Seeing that Ying Zheng's eyes were getting worse and worse, Lin Qian turned her head guiltily.
Lin Qian didn't notice that Ying Zheng looked at her with meaningful eyes after she turned her head.
……
After returning to Xianyang, seeing the familiar environment, Lin Qian suddenly remembered one thing——
[Although I can't help the people of Shu County rebuild after the disaster, I can give them potatoes to grow! 】
Apart from the fact that potatoes are prone to disease, there is really no major disadvantage.
Its biggest advantage, apart from its large output, is that it can plant two crops a year in some areas with a pleasant climate: most areas can only sow potatoes in October, and harvest them in February and March of the next year; but in some areas In fact, it can be planted in two crops: one crop of spring potatoes, sown in January and February, and harvested in May and June; the other crop is the autumn potatoes that Lin Qian told Hua before, sown in September and harvested in December.
In Lin Qian's impression, the climate in Shu County seems to be able to grow two crops of potatoes.
There were too many things that happened before, she didn't think about it for a while, and it was obviously too late to plant autumn potatoes now, and she didn't know if she could still harvest the original yield if she planted them now.
But if you don't plant them, there will be no potatoes at all.
But the question is, how to persuade Ying Zheng to send potatoes to Shu County for local people to plant them?
She believed that Ying Zheng had already guessed, and even knew that potatoes were a kind of high-yielding food: after all, she often complained in her heart, and when she first got corn and potatoes, she was very excited.If Ying Zheng could hear her heartbeat, it would be impossible not to notice Tudou.
But how to persuade Ying Zheng to send him to Shu County?
== Exposure ==
Lin Qian almost subconsciously thought of pretending to be a ghost, but unfortunately she quickly dismissed the idea.
As early as the beginning of the time travel, Lin Qian thought of pretending to be a ghost as soon as he got the corn.But her original plan was to wait until after the corn harvest and she had "evidence" that could really convince Ying Zheng before pretending to be a ghost.
But didn't they find out later that Ying Zheng could read minds with great possibility?
Ever since Lin Qian had doubts, she never had such thoughts again.Otherwise, don't talk about pretending to be a ghost at that time, I am afraid that the final result will only be the death of Ying Zheng who finds out that he has been cheated.
——Even if she survived by relying on high-yielding crops such as corn, her situation is not much better.
Later, she was very fortunate that she chose to wait at the beginning.
And Lin Qian chose to wait, naturally because...
Ying Zheng is not a superstitious emperor in the conventional sense.
Many people have the impression that Ying Zheng is a superstitious emperor. Although this is true, Ying Zheng's superstition is actually very different from that of ordinary emperors. In modern Internet terms, it is...
Very Chinese color.
He pursues immortality, but he doesn't have much awe of gods and ghosts themselves.
In Ying Zheng's heart, his status even surpassed that of God——
There is an incident recorded in the historical records: It is said that after Yingzheng unified the world, he passed by Pengcheng during a parade. Because Zhou Ding sank into the nearby Surabaya, he wanted to be salvaged, but failed.Ying Zheng could only pretend to be disappointed and return, and a group of people walked by water and soon came to the vicinity of Xiangshan Mountain.Yingzheng wanted to go up the mountain to worship, but who knew that there was a strong wind before the departure, and he could not cross the water up the mountain at all. After he found out that the goddess of Xiangshui was buried in Xiangshan, he immediately became furious and ordered 3000 prisoners to kill the trees on Xiangshan. Chop clean.
reason?
After the prisoners cut down the trees, only the bare ocher red land remained in the whole Xiangshan Mountain, which was very similar to the color of the prisoners' prison clothes at that time.
To put it simply, Yingzheng "put the goddess of Xiangshui into prison".
And he dared to sentence God, which is enough to show his attitude towards God: no respect at all!
So when you have no chips in hand, don't play tricks in front of Yingzheng, otherwise there may be only one result: just like the two alchemist liars who directly caused the "pitting Confucianism" incident, if you are lucky, you will escape and be caught. Chasing and killing, you can only live incognito, and indirectly entrap more innocent or not innocent alchemists; if you are unlucky, you will die directly.
But if you don't play tricks, how can you persuade Ying Zheng to send potatoes to Shu County?
Yingzheng said before that the food sent by the court to Shu County is enough for the local people to eat from now until next year's autumn harvest. Although they can't eat all at once, they can definitely guarantee that the people will not starve to death.
Potatoes are so important, under normal circumstances, they must be kept under the nose to be reassured.
Lin Qian thought for a long time, but decided to speak directly.
After all, sending potatoes to Shu County is a win-win situation for Ying Zheng.
She took the opportunity of being on duty to test: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the dirt-like flower seeds that my concubine stored at your place?"
A smile flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes, and he said calmly, "I remember."
"I just remembered that the potatoes seem to be planting time." Lin Qian hesitated, and tentatively said, "I thought, since the corn my father left for my concubine can actually be used as food, maybe this lump of soil Can the seeds produced by the flowers of the plant be eaten? Look, do you want to send the potatoes to Shu County to grow them? Anyway, the autumn harvest has already passed, and the fields are still empty."
Ying Zheng froze for a moment: "Are you sure?"
Lin Qian nodded indifferently: "What is there to be sure about? That is also a windfall for me."
"By the way, my father... my mother once mentioned to me that it only takes a few months to harvest this flower. The seeds grow in the ground. If you want to plant it in the coming year, you can plan the seeds in the ground. Just come out."
Potato seeds are actually not seeds, but tubers of plants. But at this time, she didn’t know if there were any plants grown with tubers, so she simply used seeds to refer to potatoes.
Ying Zheng took a deep look at her, nodded and said, "If you want to, I won't stop you."
As for Lin Qian's worry that he wanted to keep the potatoes under his nose?True, but only for safety.For the post-disaster reconstruction, Shu County sent many soldiers there, and their safety was absolutely guaranteed.
So the next day, Ying Zheng ordered people to transport the stored potatoes to Shu County.
In addition, Lin Qian said, "Potatoes are very easy to get sick if they are planted in the same field for two consecutive years or more, and the harvest will fail at that time. It is best to plant two or three fields in rotation every one or two years", "Potatoes sprout The green and green ones are poisonous and must not be eaten", "Sprouted potatoes are cut into pieces, and two to three sprouts are left on each piece, and after applying the base fertilizer, they can be planted with plant ash" and so on.
Taicang, who was in charge of corn planting before, cheerfully remembered Lin Qian's instructions, and then took a carriage with large and small bags to Shu County.
Looking at Taicang's reaction, Lin Qian always felt a little weird.
It was as if he had been prepared for a long time and was just waiting for this day.
Lin Qian didn't pay much attention to this abnormality at first, but unexpectedly after Taicang left Xianyang, she overheard the conversation between Meng Tian and Meng Yi.
After Taicang left, Lin Qian was relieved, and her tense nerves also relaxed.
Then, she caught a cold.
The cold at this time is not a trivial matter, even if Lin Qian's condition is not serious, she can no longer go to the main hall to be on duty.
So Lin Qian asked Lin Mo to take a leave of absence from Ying Zheng when she was on duty. After seeing the imperial doctor, she hid in the side hall to recuperate, and learned a few words and read some books by the way.
Perhaps the side hall was too quiet, and she heard voices outside after a while.
The voice was indistinct, as if the speaker was not close to the side hall, but they were all in the same palace after all, and they didn't deliberately lower their voice, so it was inevitable that people would hear some words.
Eavesdropping is a very bad behavior, Lin Qian originally wanted to make some noise for people outside to hear.
But she didn't want to, just when she picked up two bamboo sticks and was about to throw them on the door to make a noise, she heard someone mentioning herself.
She subconsciously held her breath and walked quietly to the door.
"Mrs. Lin is finally relieved. Ever since I met that little girl that day, Madam has been depressed. If I had known earlier, I would not have allowed Madam to leave the city that day, and I would not have met that little girl."
Lin Qian froze for a moment, it was Meng Yi's voice.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Tian's voice came again: "I don't blame you for this, it was an accident."
"Indeed hahaha, it's all right now, Madam can be relieved, and I don't need to feel guilty anymore."
"Why is this?"
"If it was elder brother who protected Madam that day, you would definitely not let Madam meet that little girl."
"No, if I was protecting my wife that day, I would also meet the little girl."
"what?"
Lin Qian frowned, realizing that something was wrong.
But Meng Tian continued: "If I protect Madam, I may take the initiative to take Madam to the place where the disaster victims gather."
Lin Qian was stunned, and after connecting the recent anomalies in series, she suddenly realized——
[Okay, Ying Zheng, you're plotting against me! 】
== · Confession · ==
Yingzheng was discussing with Li Si, Wei Liao and others about the follow-up matters of Shu County's disaster relief, the food and comfort of the frontline soldiers, and the Chinese New Year coming soon, whether the soldiers should come back for the New Year and so on.
Then, he suddenly heard Lin Qian's heartbeat.It's still the same sentence.
Ying Zheng subconsciously looked in the direction of the side hall.
Li Si glanced in the direction of Ying Zheng, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes: [I haven't seen Mrs. Lin by His Majesty's side today, so I don't know what happened?Your Majesty misses Madam, right?If Madam is ill, I only hope to recover quickly so that His Majesty can handle government affairs with peace of mind. 】
Ying Zheng came back to his senses, and when he heard Li Si's words, his eyes twitched immediately.
No, Your Majesty does not wish Madam Lin to recover soon.
But he has always been stable, and he did not show his flaws in front of Li Si and others. Instead, he continued to discuss the details of various affairs as usual.
After discussing until noon, Li Si and others left the palace.
Only then did Ying Zheng invite Meng Tian: "Tell me, what happened during the day, did someone break their mouths in front of Madam?"
Meng Tian looked blank: 【Your Majesty, what does this mean? 】
He turned his gaze around, and unexpectedly found that Lin Qian was not by Ying Zheng's side: "Madam is not in the palace?"
[Where is Madam?I have never seen my wife go out just now! 】
[There is always a... bad feeling. 】
Ying Zheng's complexion darkened: "Early this morning, Lin Mo, who was next to Madam, asked the widow to ask her for leave. He said that he felt dizzy when he woke up this morning. He seemed to have caught a cold. He was worried that he would infect the widow, so he decided to rest for a few days. , and come back to duty after recovering from illness.”
After a pause, he added, "Madam should be in the side hall all day today."
[But when I brought troops over in the early morning, didn't Lin Mo tend the flowers and plants in the flower garden like before? 】
Meng Tian suddenly realized, 【It's over! 】
His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly understood why His Majesty would ask this question: "His Majesty, I... I didn't know that my wife asked for leave, but I thought there was no one in the hall. Madam is worried about being unhappy, and the humble position wants to make her feel at ease, so...he revealed a few words not far from the side hall..."
Ying Zheng frowned: "What did you reveal?"
Meng Tian only felt ashamed to meet Ying Zheng: "I mentioned before that if the person who is in charge of protecting my wife in Shu County is Wei Chen, I am afraid that I will deliberately take my wife to the place where the disaster victims gather!"
After finishing speaking, he prostrated himself on the ground, "I begrudgingly acted carelessly, please be punished by Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng rubbed his brows, waved his hands and said, "Go down and get twenty lashes yourself!"
Meng Tian breathed a sigh of relief: "No!"
In a few days, Lin Qian recovered from his illness, and his vacation was on duty.
After breakfast, Lin Qian came to the main hall with Lin Mo as before, and after parting, he went to Ying Zheng to salute, and went straight to his place.
Ying Zheng kept his gaze on Lin Qian, as if he wanted to see her reaction.
Lin Qian was uncomfortable being watched: [What are you looking at?Never seen a beauty! 】
Ying Zheng: "..." His wife is so narcissistic?
Lin Qian noticed Ying Zheng's eyes and instantly regretted it.But the thoughts in a person's heart are so easy to control, her brain didn't react at all, and this sentence popped up subconsciously in her heart, and she was... very helpless.
Lin Qian drooped her eyelids, unwilling to meet Ying Zheng's gaze.
However, Ying Zheng didn't pay attention to her heartfelt words, but kept observing Lin Qian's reaction: Lin Qian's heartbeat of "Yingzheng, you plot against me" before finally caught his heart.
Ying Zheng is very satisfied with the tacit state of the two of them now, and he doesn't want bad changes to happen.
But Lin Qian's reaction was that there was no response.
It's not like Ying Zheng did it on purpose, but Lin Qian's reaction is like... forgetting.
But Ying Zheng judged others by himself, but he couldn't believe it. He could only think that it was because Lin Qian was hit hard after discovering the truth, so he "grew up", and he could keep his face unchanged no matter what happened in front of him.
At first, Ying Zheng waited for Lin Qian to take the initiative to ask him——
After all, if this happened to him, he would definitely figure it out and take revenge on him.
But he came to the main hall from Lin Qian to be on duty, and he waited until the evening, but he didn't wait until Lin Qian opened his mouth.
Seeing that Lin Qian was about to leave the main hall and go back to the side hall to rest, Ying Zheng couldn't help but frowned, and explained: "I did plot against you, but I never bothered to force others to do things. I want to order someone to guide you to the place where the disaster victims gather."
Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng and was stunned. It took him a while to understand what he was talking about.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked: "How did Your Majesty know that this concubine knew about the conversation between General Meng Tian and Brother Meng Yi?"
[Ying Zheng, do you really know what you are talking about?You are completely exposed! 】
A smile flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes: "Even if I don't tell you, you should be basically sure, right?"
Lin Qian muttered for a while, but did not deny it.
She is actually not a suspicious person, but she knows history, so after discovering that there is a huge difference between reality and history, she will naturally doubt the people who caused those changes——
That is Ying Zheng.
Besides, Ying Zheng didn't seem to have thought of covering it up.
Ok……
It should be said that he didn't need to cover up.As the only person in power in this country, all his actions are legal and reasonable, even if they are not legal and reasonable, someone will take the initiative to help him legalize them, so there is no need for him to cover up.
Moreover, although people in this era are superstitious, they are not well-informed, and even if they find anomalies, it is impossible to associate "mind reading".
Lin Qian was actually the only surprise.
But even Lin Qian never thought of getting Ying Zheng to admit his "mind reading skills".
Just like now, even if Ying Zheng took the initiative to talk about the issue of "mind reading" with Lin Qian, her subconscious reaction was resistance, and she forcibly changed the subject: "The concubine actually figured it out very quickly. , Although Your Majesty has suspected that the situation of the common people has led the concubine to make decisions that are beneficial to your majesty and the state of Qin several times, but you have not actually forced the concubine to do so."
She glanced at Ying Zheng, "Since all the decisions were made by myself, and you never cheated on me, as the one who really made the decision, I don't seem to have the position to blame others."
Ying Zheng nodded: "It seems to be true. Unexpectedly, Madam is so transparent and broad-minded."
Lin Qian was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard him speak again, "Why did Madam change the subject? We were not before, and we were talking about whether the widow exposed what he had..."
Lin Qian's pupils constricted for a moment, and she subconsciously threw herself on Ying Zheng and reached out to cover his mouth.
Ying Zheng subconsciously reached out to touch the long sword placed on his left hand, and almost drew it out immediately.
Fortunately, Lin Qian's heartbeat sounded first——
【Shut up ahhhhh——】
[I'm not interested in your mind reading skills at all!I don't want to talk to you about what I was complaining in my heart before! 】
[Help, if you say it, I'll die on the spot, okay? 】
[Please let me continue to deceive myself! 】
Ying Zheng's eyebrows jumped violently.
He suddenly remembered that when Lin Qian had no doubt that he could hear the sound of his heart, he had no scruples about complaining.What impressed Yingzheng the most, apart from the "historical knowledge" with an explosion of information, was the phrase "sleep" that was repeated several times.
【"I actually put Ying Zheng to sleep." 】
【"Put people to sleep". 】
【"I slept with him". 】
Great!
Ying Zheng pursed his lips, and looked down meaningfully at the hand covering his mouth.
As if being scalded by Ying Zheng's gaze, Lin Qian immediately withdrew her hand and put it behind her back, and then gave him an awkward yet polite smile: "Your Majesty, I'm hungry, so...leave first gone?"
After speaking, he got up, raised his feet and ran.
Ying Zheng picked up the pen slowly, but said when she just ran to the door: "I heard that Madam really wants to 'sleep'——"
Lin Qian turned her head abruptly: "Ying..."
Facing Ying Zheng's gaze, she took a deep breath and changed her words, "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to do?"
Ying Zheng shook his head.
Lin Qian turned her head and was about to lift her foot when she heard: "Speaking of which, Madam is so anxious to go back, but because she is too sleepy, she wants to 'sleep'—"
Lin Qian swiped her head and said, "...Your Majesty?"
Ying Zheng looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "If Madam really wants to 'sleep'—"
Lin Qian almost cried out on the spot because of his intentionally elongated ending: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, My Majesty, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I was so wrong, so wrong, your lord There are a lot, forgive me for my unscrupulous words at the beginning?"
Lin Qian clasped his hands together, "Please!"
There was a smile in Ying Zheng's eyes: "If madam is tired..."
Lin Qian gasped on the spot!
"Then go back and rest for now," Ying Zheng stopped teasing her, "We'll talk about something tomorrow."
Lin Qian was finally relieved, he didn't care about his image at all, he almost put on his shoes and ran all the way back to the side hall.
boom--
Lin Qian firmly closed the door of the side hall.
Thinking of Lin Qian's reaction just now, Ying Zheng suddenly lowered his head and smiled sullenly.
Others in the hall: "..."
【Your Majesty and Lin Bazi are playing charades? 】
[I've never seen His Majesty laughing so carelessly. It seems that His Majesty really likes Mrs. Lin. 】
【What is His Majesty laughing at? 】
[What is the meaning of "sleep" that His Majesty kept repeating just now?Why did Lin Bazi react so strongly when he heard these two words? 】
……
Lin Linzong couldn't help but remind Ying Zheng of Lin Qian's reaction just now, and couldn't stop laughing even more.
Lin Qian was already lying on the couch like a dead dog, not wanting to move at all.
[Come and kill me with a lightning bolt! 】
【Help, hurry up! 】
Lin Qian covered her head with the quilt, almost crying because of her reaction just now.
It is true that she did not die because of her worrying about "spitting out", but after calming down and thinking about it, her reaction just now seems to be no better than talking about it completely.
Lin Mo rushed back immediately when he heard the news, and as soon as he crossed the screen, he saw Lin Qian wrapped himself in the quilt, rolling around on the couch like a bug: "Ah... Mother Qian, you... what's going on? gone?"
Lin Qian paused, raised her head, and met Lin Mo's bewildered eyes.
Lin Qian: "..."
She pushed away the quilt in an instant, got up and walked to Lin Mo's side: "Mother Mo, I'm so hungry..."
Lin Mo instantly forgot what happened just now, and hurriedly said, "I'm going to the kitchen to pick up food, you wait for now, I'll be right back."
After speaking, he turned and left the room.
Lin Qian stood there and waited for a while, making sure that the person had left, and instantly...
Broken expression.
【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 】
Ying Zheng: "Poof—"
……
After dinner, Lin Qian tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before finally falling asleep.
woke up the next day,
Lin Qian soon found out about the news. He thought that Ying Zheng would be furious when he heard about it, but to his surprise, Ying Zheng was not only not angry, but seemed to...
No surprises?
Lin Qian was a little uncertain about what was going on, and even couldn't help guessing...
【Yan Taizi Dan's escape could not have been caused by Ying Zheng's secret release, or simply led by him?Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to know that he is the mastermind behind Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Qin, and he would leave a loophole for people to escape, right? 】
But even if the two of them were kneeling and sitting together, Lin Qian couldn't see anything unusual on Ying Zheng's face.
She has some doubts about life——
Ying Zheng is really amazing. Whenever Lin Qian is almost 100% sure that he can hear her heartbeat, something will happen afterwards that makes her doubt her own feelings.
Just like this time.
But even so, Lin Qian still thinks that there is an [-]% to [-]% chance that Ying Zheng can read minds.
……
Yan Taizidan's escape did not cause much impact in the Qin State. Apart from ensuring the food and grass for the frontline soldiers, the court almost devoted all its energy to disaster relief for Shu County.
Carloads of grain were sent to Shu County non-stop, and disaster relief officials and soldiers also rushed to Shu County in the fastest time.
However, ancient buildings, especially the houses of ordinary people, are extremely difficult to resist earthquakes. What's more, the weather is getting colder now, and the people still have the effects of keeping warm and suffering from diseases caused by the cooling.
The situation is not optimistic.
Yingzheng sent Wang Wan to take charge of this matter at the beginning, and his appearance really reassured the people of Shu County a lot.
But as the festival approaches, people's emotions will inevitably fluctuate.
I and my family had worked hard for a year and had a good harvest, but an earthquake destroyed everything, and it was almost New Year's Eve, and the destroyed home hadn't been rebuilt yet, and they couldn't even eat full--
Nearly half of the newly harvested grain was transported to the front line, and the imperial court had to reserve a portion to prepare for the subsequent war. Although most of the remaining grain was sent to Shu County, in order to make this part of the grain last longer, Wang Wan didn't dare to let go and let every commoner eat their fill.
The mood of the people was extremely low.
Wang Wan quickly sensed the crisis, and quickly reported the matter to Ying Zheng.
There is actually no particularly good solution to this matter other than speeding up the reconstruction and sending more food, but the hidden danger of letting the people down is indeed great.
After Yingzheng learned of this, he simply took Fusu and several other older sons to Shu County.
I don't know what he was thinking, but at such an important moment, he even brought Lin Qian over there.
Lin Qian himself felt baffled.
Wang Wan still remembered the conversation at the time, and was deeply impressed by Bazi Lin.
But because Lin Bazi still has something to say, and His Majesty never listened to Lin Bazi's opinion, even though he didn't agree with Lin Bazi's suggestion that women should have the opportunity to read and write, enter the officialdom, join the army, etc., he never agreed. Comment on His Majesty's taking it with him.
After Yingzheng arrived in Shu County, under the protection of Meng Tian and others, he quickly summoned representatives elected by local officials and the people.
He himself is actually very taciturn, and he is definitely not approachable, but he can patiently care about local affairs and people's livelihood in front of these low-level officials and representatives of the people.
"Shu County has always been the granary of the Qin State. Qin State can become as powerful as it is today, which is not unrelated to the diligence of the officials of the Shu County and the hard work of the people..."
"Don't worry, everyone, the imperial court will fully bear the losses caused by the earthquake..."
"You don't need to refuse, just treat it as the Qin State repaying Shu County for its hard work and dedication over the past few decades..."
When he said these words, there was still not much expression on his face, but both the local officials and the people, as well as Wang Wan and others standing next to him, were all moved.
Even Lin Qian felt that Ying Zheng was shining when he saw Ying Zheng like this.
After seeing the officials and the people, Ying Zheng took Lin Qian, Fusu and others to inspect the areas that were more severely affected by the disaster, and taught Fusu's senior princes how to handle official affairs and appease the people.
It's not that Lin Qian can't go to this kind of place, but Ying Zheng obviously has no plans to take her there.
But there is also an advantage, Ying Zheng allows her to wander around.
Since crossing over, Lin Qian has spent most of his time in Xianyang Palace. When he rarely leaves Xianyang Palace, he only goes to the suburbs to give pointers and watch other people farming. The number of times he goes shopping is also very small.
Of course Lin Qian was happy to be able to come out to play alone.
However, Lin Qian had the most personal experience of the danger level during the Warring States period from the two assassinations of Ying Zheng and himself, so even if he was just going to go out for a stroll, Lin Qian did not hesitate to ask Ying Zheng to specially assign him to protect him. Her Meng Yi.
There are many hills in Shu, and the scenery is still very good.
Lin Qian took Lin Mo out and went straight to the street, but because of the earthquake, there was nothing on the street except for some small bamboo trinkets. She bought two small bamboo baskets and was going to go out of the city to have a look.
Ordinarily, there should be quite a lot of pandas at this time, maybe you can bump into one or two when you go out?
Lin Qian pulled Lin Mo, called Meng Yi and the others, eager to rush out of the city.
Meng Yi didn't understand why she was so happy, but he didn't pour cold water on him, not to mention that he was a half-year-old himself, and he was very happy to be able to go out of the city when he was most curious about the world.
So a group of people went straight to the city gate.
Unexpectedly, when they came to the city gate, Lin Qian and others lined up, and they were about to leave the city gate, when suddenly they heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed from behind.
Lin Qian's heart skipped a beat, and when she turned her head to look, she found that Meng Yi was holding a sword to stop a little girl with a big head and a small body, with extra big eyes.After reading too many literary and artistic works such as novels, film and television dramas, it is easy to know one thing——
The most dangerous people in this world are the elderly, women and children.
Because they are naturally lovable, it is very easy for people to relax their vigilance, and once they have bad intentions, they will be hard to guard against.
So although Lin Qian was surprised, he didn't talk too much.
She just quietly hid behind Meng Yi, and said at the same time: "You are still young, and you can still teach."
Meng Yi looked back at Lin Qian, and explained dumbfoundedly: "She's not an assassin, I'm just..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw the little girl's eyes turned red, and she knelt down on the ground with a "plop": "Sister, I'm so hungry..."
The streets in Shu County are all paved with stone slabs. Usually, the road feels smooth when walking on it, but when you kneel down so suddenly, the pain is so painful that you want to dig out your kneecaps... Ordinary people definitely don't want to experience it.
Lin Qian was startled, and subconsciously stood up from behind Meng Yi, wanting to step forward to help him up.
But after taking two steps, he stopped and looked at Meng Yi.
Meng Yi laughed: "Madam let Lin Mo go."
Lin Qian was about to speak, but Lin Mo had already passed her to the little girl and picked her up.
After the little girl stood up, Lin Mo patted the dirt on her knees.
The little girl looked around at several people, and still looked at Lin Qian eagerly: "Sister, I'm so hungry..."
==Potatoes==
Meng Yi let out a hey in his heart: Is this little girl quite smart?
Lin Qian could not fail to see the little girl's small movements, after all, it was so obvious, but she could indeed see that the little girl was not lying.
Lin Qian touched her body subconsciously, but there was only a small empty basket.
She was a little sorry: "I don't have anything to eat..."
Seeing the disappointment in the little girl's eyes, Lin Qian couldn't help but look back at Lin Mo: "Mother Mo, do you still have any money?"
Lin Mo nodded: "There are still some."
They bought two small baskets on the street just now, and they didn't spend much money at all.
With that said, Lin Mo was about to hand over the money to the little girl.
The little girl shook her head: "I don't want money!"
After speaking, the man turned around and ran away.
Lin Qian wanted to chase subconsciously, but was worried about some danger, so she could only look at Meng Yi.
Meng Yi looked back at his subordinates, and ordered a clever soldier: "Catch up and see what's going on with that little girl."
After the soldier took the order, he immediately chased after him.
After a while, the man came back: "Reporting to Madam, the guard order (official position), the little girl ran home. The humble officer looked carefully, and there seemed to be no adults in the little girl's house, and she had no contact with others. There should be no danger."
Meng Yi nodded: "Madam, would you like to go and have a look?"
Lin Qian nodded quickly.
She asked people to go to a nearby rich family to buy some food, and then led them to the direction where the little girl left.
A group of people quickly entered a small alley under the leadership of the soldiers, and after turning around, they finally came to a very dilapidated small shack.The house was like a frame that was tied up with a few logs randomly, with several layers of straw spread on the top, and the surroundings were nothing but hay mats made of hay and ropes, which were tied to the highest floor with straw ropes. on a piece of wood.
Although it looks passable, but if the wind is a little stronger, the straw mats on the roof and around the house may be blown away.
What's more, there are gaps everywhere in this room, which obviously leaks air.
And all the houses around here are also randomly built with such unreliable wood and straw mats.
Lin Qian had never seen such a dilapidated house except on TV.
The existence of the few people was out of tune with the surroundings, and many curious heads quietly popped up in the surrounding rooms, and the busy women and old people outside couldn't help but look at Lin Qian and the others.
She looked at Meng Yi in astonishment: "Does everyone live in such a house?"
Meng Yi hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty thinks that since the house needs to be rebuilt, it is better to build it better, so as to avoid accidents in the future. So after everyone worked together to build some temporary shelters that can shelter from wind and rain, everyone who is strong Off to help build a real house."
Obviously, these houses are the so-called temporary accommodation.
……
Lin Qian sent some food to the little girl to fill her stomach.
But more, even Lin Qian is powerless to do anything for her——
She couldn't help with post-disaster reconstruction, and she didn't have enough food to feed the little girl, and she didn't dare to give money randomly...
What's more, there are many people like the little girl in Shu County. Even if Lin Qian can save one, he can't save all of them.
While leaving, Lin Qian bumped into another child.
Seeing the same thin appearance as the little girl, Lin Qian couldn't help but heaved a long sigh.
The appearance of adults suffering will not be too touching, but children being starved like that will inevitably make people panic.
After such an accident happened, Lin Qian had no intention of going out, and took the people back to the residence directly.
After all, Yingzheng still has a lot of government affairs to deal with, so he can only stay in Shu County for three days, and he will leave for Xianyang after the time is over.And these three days, in order to appease the local people as much as possible, Ying Zheng went out almost before dawn, and returned to his residence when it was completely dark. He and Lin Qian obviously lived in the same yard, but he was stunned I have never met before.
It wasn't until the time of departure for Xianyang that Ying Zheng finally discovered Lin Qian's abnormality: "Ma'am, what's wrong?"
Lin Qian paused, and asked, "Is the court's food storage not enough?"
Ying Zheng took a deep look at Lin Qian and nodded, "It would certainly be enough for the people of Shu County to eat until the New Year, but the food must be eaten for the autumn harvest next year, so it will be a bit stretched. After all, there is still some food to be sent. When it comes to the front line, the opportunity of a severe drought in Zhao State is once in a lifetime, and Qin State will never miss this opportunity."
Lin Qian endured it, but she couldn't.
She complained in her heart: [Anyway, you will have to stand in a stalemate for a year to win this battle. Why don't you wait a year, call the soldiers back from the front line, and leave all the food for the people of Shu County to eat! 】
Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Lin Qian, but met her innocent eyes: "..."
【Ha, who wouldn't pretend to be stupid! 】
【Do you really want to punish me?If you have the ability, you confess! 】
Ying Zheng: "..."
Seeing that Ying Zheng was deflated, Lin Qian suddenly regained some energy.
But she didn't dare to tease the tiger's whiskers too much. Seeing that Ying Zheng's eyes were getting worse and worse, Lin Qian turned her head guiltily.
Lin Qian didn't notice that Ying Zheng looked at her with meaningful eyes after she turned her head.
……
After returning to Xianyang, seeing the familiar environment, Lin Qian suddenly remembered one thing——
[Although I can't help the people of Shu County rebuild after the disaster, I can give them potatoes to grow! 】
Apart from the fact that potatoes are prone to disease, there is really no major disadvantage.
Its biggest advantage, apart from its large output, is that it can plant two crops a year in some areas with a pleasant climate: most areas can only sow potatoes in October, and harvest them in February and March of the next year; but in some areas In fact, it can be planted in two crops: one crop of spring potatoes, sown in January and February, and harvested in May and June; the other crop is the autumn potatoes that Lin Qian told Hua before, sown in September and harvested in December.
In Lin Qian's impression, the climate in Shu County seems to be able to grow two crops of potatoes.
There were too many things that happened before, she didn't think about it for a while, and it was obviously too late to plant autumn potatoes now, and she didn't know if she could still harvest the original yield if she planted them now.
But if you don't plant them, there will be no potatoes at all.
But the question is, how to persuade Ying Zheng to send potatoes to Shu County for local people to plant them?
She believed that Ying Zheng had already guessed, and even knew that potatoes were a kind of high-yielding food: after all, she often complained in her heart, and when she first got corn and potatoes, she was very excited.If Ying Zheng could hear her heartbeat, it would be impossible not to notice Tudou.
But how to persuade Ying Zheng to send him to Shu County?
== Exposure ==
Lin Qian almost subconsciously thought of pretending to be a ghost, but unfortunately she quickly dismissed the idea.
As early as the beginning of the time travel, Lin Qian thought of pretending to be a ghost as soon as he got the corn.But her original plan was to wait until after the corn harvest and she had "evidence" that could really convince Ying Zheng before pretending to be a ghost.
But didn't they find out later that Ying Zheng could read minds with great possibility?
Ever since Lin Qian had doubts, she never had such thoughts again.Otherwise, don't talk about pretending to be a ghost at that time, I am afraid that the final result will only be the death of Ying Zheng who finds out that he has been cheated.
——Even if she survived by relying on high-yielding crops such as corn, her situation is not much better.
Later, she was very fortunate that she chose to wait at the beginning.
And Lin Qian chose to wait, naturally because...
Ying Zheng is not a superstitious emperor in the conventional sense.
Many people have the impression that Ying Zheng is a superstitious emperor. Although this is true, Ying Zheng's superstition is actually very different from that of ordinary emperors. In modern Internet terms, it is...
Very Chinese color.
He pursues immortality, but he doesn't have much awe of gods and ghosts themselves.
In Ying Zheng's heart, his status even surpassed that of God——
There is an incident recorded in the historical records: It is said that after Yingzheng unified the world, he passed by Pengcheng during a parade. Because Zhou Ding sank into the nearby Surabaya, he wanted to be salvaged, but failed.Ying Zheng could only pretend to be disappointed and return, and a group of people walked by water and soon came to the vicinity of Xiangshan Mountain.Yingzheng wanted to go up the mountain to worship, but who knew that there was a strong wind before the departure, and he could not cross the water up the mountain at all. After he found out that the goddess of Xiangshui was buried in Xiangshan, he immediately became furious and ordered 3000 prisoners to kill the trees on Xiangshan. Chop clean.
reason?
After the prisoners cut down the trees, only the bare ocher red land remained in the whole Xiangshan Mountain, which was very similar to the color of the prisoners' prison clothes at that time.
To put it simply, Yingzheng "put the goddess of Xiangshui into prison".
And he dared to sentence God, which is enough to show his attitude towards God: no respect at all!
So when you have no chips in hand, don't play tricks in front of Yingzheng, otherwise there may be only one result: just like the two alchemist liars who directly caused the "pitting Confucianism" incident, if you are lucky, you will escape and be caught. Chasing and killing, you can only live incognito, and indirectly entrap more innocent or not innocent alchemists; if you are unlucky, you will die directly.
But if you don't play tricks, how can you persuade Ying Zheng to send potatoes to Shu County?
Yingzheng said before that the food sent by the court to Shu County is enough for the local people to eat from now until next year's autumn harvest. Although they can't eat all at once, they can definitely guarantee that the people will not starve to death.
Potatoes are so important, under normal circumstances, they must be kept under the nose to be reassured.
Lin Qian thought for a long time, but decided to speak directly.
After all, sending potatoes to Shu County is a win-win situation for Ying Zheng.
She took the opportunity of being on duty to test: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the dirt-like flower seeds that my concubine stored at your place?"
A smile flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes, and he said calmly, "I remember."
"I just remembered that the potatoes seem to be planting time." Lin Qian hesitated, and tentatively said, "I thought, since the corn my father left for my concubine can actually be used as food, maybe this lump of soil Can the seeds produced by the flowers of the plant be eaten? Look, do you want to send the potatoes to Shu County to grow them? Anyway, the autumn harvest has already passed, and the fields are still empty."
Ying Zheng froze for a moment: "Are you sure?"
Lin Qian nodded indifferently: "What is there to be sure about? That is also a windfall for me."
"By the way, my father... my mother once mentioned to me that it only takes a few months to harvest this flower. The seeds grow in the ground. If you want to plant it in the coming year, you can plan the seeds in the ground. Just come out."
Potato seeds are actually not seeds, but tubers of plants. But at this time, she didn’t know if there were any plants grown with tubers, so she simply used seeds to refer to potatoes.
Ying Zheng took a deep look at her, nodded and said, "If you want to, I won't stop you."
As for Lin Qian's worry that he wanted to keep the potatoes under his nose?True, but only for safety.For the post-disaster reconstruction, Shu County sent many soldiers there, and their safety was absolutely guaranteed.
So the next day, Ying Zheng ordered people to transport the stored potatoes to Shu County.
In addition, Lin Qian said, "Potatoes are very easy to get sick if they are planted in the same field for two consecutive years or more, and the harvest will fail at that time. It is best to plant two or three fields in rotation every one or two years", "Potatoes sprout The green and green ones are poisonous and must not be eaten", "Sprouted potatoes are cut into pieces, and two to three sprouts are left on each piece, and after applying the base fertilizer, they can be planted with plant ash" and so on.
Taicang, who was in charge of corn planting before, cheerfully remembered Lin Qian's instructions, and then took a carriage with large and small bags to Shu County.
Looking at Taicang's reaction, Lin Qian always felt a little weird.
It was as if he had been prepared for a long time and was just waiting for this day.
Lin Qian didn't pay much attention to this abnormality at first, but unexpectedly after Taicang left Xianyang, she overheard the conversation between Meng Tian and Meng Yi.
After Taicang left, Lin Qian was relieved, and her tense nerves also relaxed.
Then, she caught a cold.
The cold at this time is not a trivial matter, even if Lin Qian's condition is not serious, she can no longer go to the main hall to be on duty.
So Lin Qian asked Lin Mo to take a leave of absence from Ying Zheng when she was on duty. After seeing the imperial doctor, she hid in the side hall to recuperate, and learned a few words and read some books by the way.
Perhaps the side hall was too quiet, and she heard voices outside after a while.
The voice was indistinct, as if the speaker was not close to the side hall, but they were all in the same palace after all, and they didn't deliberately lower their voice, so it was inevitable that people would hear some words.
Eavesdropping is a very bad behavior, Lin Qian originally wanted to make some noise for people outside to hear.
But she didn't want to, just when she picked up two bamboo sticks and was about to throw them on the door to make a noise, she heard someone mentioning herself.
She subconsciously held her breath and walked quietly to the door.
"Mrs. Lin is finally relieved. Ever since I met that little girl that day, Madam has been depressed. If I had known earlier, I would not have allowed Madam to leave the city that day, and I would not have met that little girl."
Lin Qian froze for a moment, it was Meng Yi's voice.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Tian's voice came again: "I don't blame you for this, it was an accident."
"Indeed hahaha, it's all right now, Madam can be relieved, and I don't need to feel guilty anymore."
"Why is this?"
"If it was elder brother who protected Madam that day, you would definitely not let Madam meet that little girl."
"No, if I was protecting my wife that day, I would also meet the little girl."
"what?"
Lin Qian frowned, realizing that something was wrong.
But Meng Tian continued: "If I protect Madam, I may take the initiative to take Madam to the place where the disaster victims gather."
Lin Qian was stunned, and after connecting the recent anomalies in series, she suddenly realized——
[Okay, Ying Zheng, you're plotting against me! 】
== · Confession · ==
Yingzheng was discussing with Li Si, Wei Liao and others about the follow-up matters of Shu County's disaster relief, the food and comfort of the frontline soldiers, and the Chinese New Year coming soon, whether the soldiers should come back for the New Year and so on.
Then, he suddenly heard Lin Qian's heartbeat.It's still the same sentence.
Ying Zheng subconsciously looked in the direction of the side hall.
Li Si glanced in the direction of Ying Zheng, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes: [I haven't seen Mrs. Lin by His Majesty's side today, so I don't know what happened?Your Majesty misses Madam, right?If Madam is ill, I only hope to recover quickly so that His Majesty can handle government affairs with peace of mind. 】
Ying Zheng came back to his senses, and when he heard Li Si's words, his eyes twitched immediately.
No, Your Majesty does not wish Madam Lin to recover soon.
But he has always been stable, and he did not show his flaws in front of Li Si and others. Instead, he continued to discuss the details of various affairs as usual.
After discussing until noon, Li Si and others left the palace.
Only then did Ying Zheng invite Meng Tian: "Tell me, what happened during the day, did someone break their mouths in front of Madam?"
Meng Tian looked blank: 【Your Majesty, what does this mean? 】
He turned his gaze around, and unexpectedly found that Lin Qian was not by Ying Zheng's side: "Madam is not in the palace?"
[Where is Madam?I have never seen my wife go out just now! 】
[There is always a... bad feeling. 】
Ying Zheng's complexion darkened: "Early this morning, Lin Mo, who was next to Madam, asked the widow to ask her for leave. He said that he felt dizzy when he woke up this morning. He seemed to have caught a cold. He was worried that he would infect the widow, so he decided to rest for a few days. , and come back to duty after recovering from illness.”
After a pause, he added, "Madam should be in the side hall all day today."
[But when I brought troops over in the early morning, didn't Lin Mo tend the flowers and plants in the flower garden like before? 】
Meng Tian suddenly realized, 【It's over! 】
His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly understood why His Majesty would ask this question: "His Majesty, I... I didn't know that my wife asked for leave, but I thought there was no one in the hall. Madam is worried about being unhappy, and the humble position wants to make her feel at ease, so...he revealed a few words not far from the side hall..."
Ying Zheng frowned: "What did you reveal?"
Meng Tian only felt ashamed to meet Ying Zheng: "I mentioned before that if the person who is in charge of protecting my wife in Shu County is Wei Chen, I am afraid that I will deliberately take my wife to the place where the disaster victims gather!"
After finishing speaking, he prostrated himself on the ground, "I begrudgingly acted carelessly, please be punished by Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng rubbed his brows, waved his hands and said, "Go down and get twenty lashes yourself!"
Meng Tian breathed a sigh of relief: "No!"
In a few days, Lin Qian recovered from his illness, and his vacation was on duty.
After breakfast, Lin Qian came to the main hall with Lin Mo as before, and after parting, he went to Ying Zheng to salute, and went straight to his place.
Ying Zheng kept his gaze on Lin Qian, as if he wanted to see her reaction.
Lin Qian was uncomfortable being watched: [What are you looking at?Never seen a beauty! 】
Ying Zheng: "..." His wife is so narcissistic?
Lin Qian noticed Ying Zheng's eyes and instantly regretted it.But the thoughts in a person's heart are so easy to control, her brain didn't react at all, and this sentence popped up subconsciously in her heart, and she was... very helpless.
Lin Qian drooped her eyelids, unwilling to meet Ying Zheng's gaze.
However, Ying Zheng didn't pay attention to her heartfelt words, but kept observing Lin Qian's reaction: Lin Qian's heartbeat of "Yingzheng, you plot against me" before finally caught his heart.
Ying Zheng is very satisfied with the tacit state of the two of them now, and he doesn't want bad changes to happen.
But Lin Qian's reaction was that there was no response.
It's not like Ying Zheng did it on purpose, but Lin Qian's reaction is like... forgetting.
But Ying Zheng judged others by himself, but he couldn't believe it. He could only think that it was because Lin Qian was hit hard after discovering the truth, so he "grew up", and he could keep his face unchanged no matter what happened in front of him.
At first, Ying Zheng waited for Lin Qian to take the initiative to ask him——
After all, if this happened to him, he would definitely figure it out and take revenge on him.
But he came to the main hall from Lin Qian to be on duty, and he waited until the evening, but he didn't wait until Lin Qian opened his mouth.
Seeing that Lin Qian was about to leave the main hall and go back to the side hall to rest, Ying Zheng couldn't help but frowned, and explained: "I did plot against you, but I never bothered to force others to do things. I want to order someone to guide you to the place where the disaster victims gather."
Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng and was stunned. It took him a while to understand what he was talking about.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked: "How did Your Majesty know that this concubine knew about the conversation between General Meng Tian and Brother Meng Yi?"
[Ying Zheng, do you really know what you are talking about?You are completely exposed! 】
A smile flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes: "Even if I don't tell you, you should be basically sure, right?"
Lin Qian muttered for a while, but did not deny it.
She is actually not a suspicious person, but she knows history, so after discovering that there is a huge difference between reality and history, she will naturally doubt the people who caused those changes——
That is Ying Zheng.
Besides, Ying Zheng didn't seem to have thought of covering it up.
Ok……
It should be said that he didn't need to cover up.As the only person in power in this country, all his actions are legal and reasonable, even if they are not legal and reasonable, someone will take the initiative to help him legalize them, so there is no need for him to cover up.
Moreover, although people in this era are superstitious, they are not well-informed, and even if they find anomalies, it is impossible to associate "mind reading".
Lin Qian was actually the only surprise.
But even Lin Qian never thought of getting Ying Zheng to admit his "mind reading skills".
Just like now, even if Ying Zheng took the initiative to talk about the issue of "mind reading" with Lin Qian, her subconscious reaction was resistance, and she forcibly changed the subject: "The concubine actually figured it out very quickly. , Although Your Majesty has suspected that the situation of the common people has led the concubine to make decisions that are beneficial to your majesty and the state of Qin several times, but you have not actually forced the concubine to do so."
She glanced at Ying Zheng, "Since all the decisions were made by myself, and you never cheated on me, as the one who really made the decision, I don't seem to have the position to blame others."
Ying Zheng nodded: "It seems to be true. Unexpectedly, Madam is so transparent and broad-minded."
Lin Qian was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard him speak again, "Why did Madam change the subject? We were not before, and we were talking about whether the widow exposed what he had..."
Lin Qian's pupils constricted for a moment, and she subconsciously threw herself on Ying Zheng and reached out to cover his mouth.
Ying Zheng subconsciously reached out to touch the long sword placed on his left hand, and almost drew it out immediately.
Fortunately, Lin Qian's heartbeat sounded first——
【Shut up ahhhhh——】
[I'm not interested in your mind reading skills at all!I don't want to talk to you about what I was complaining in my heart before! 】
[Help, if you say it, I'll die on the spot, okay? 】
[Please let me continue to deceive myself! 】
Ying Zheng's eyebrows jumped violently.
He suddenly remembered that when Lin Qian had no doubt that he could hear the sound of his heart, he had no scruples about complaining.What impressed Yingzheng the most, apart from the "historical knowledge" with an explosion of information, was the phrase "sleep" that was repeated several times.
【"I actually put Ying Zheng to sleep." 】
【"Put people to sleep". 】
【"I slept with him". 】
Great!
Ying Zheng pursed his lips, and looked down meaningfully at the hand covering his mouth.
As if being scalded by Ying Zheng's gaze, Lin Qian immediately withdrew her hand and put it behind her back, and then gave him an awkward yet polite smile: "Your Majesty, I'm hungry, so...leave first gone?"
After speaking, he got up, raised his feet and ran.
Ying Zheng picked up the pen slowly, but said when she just ran to the door: "I heard that Madam really wants to 'sleep'——"
Lin Qian turned her head abruptly: "Ying..."
Facing Ying Zheng's gaze, she took a deep breath and changed her words, "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to do?"
Ying Zheng shook his head.
Lin Qian turned her head and was about to lift her foot when she heard: "Speaking of which, Madam is so anxious to go back, but because she is too sleepy, she wants to 'sleep'—"
Lin Qian swiped her head and said, "...Your Majesty?"
Ying Zheng looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "If Madam really wants to 'sleep'—"
Lin Qian almost cried out on the spot because of his intentionally elongated ending: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, My Majesty, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I was so wrong, so wrong, your lord There are a lot, forgive me for my unscrupulous words at the beginning?"
Lin Qian clasped his hands together, "Please!"
There was a smile in Ying Zheng's eyes: "If madam is tired..."
Lin Qian gasped on the spot!
"Then go back and rest for now," Ying Zheng stopped teasing her, "We'll talk about something tomorrow."
Lin Qian was finally relieved, he didn't care about his image at all, he almost put on his shoes and ran all the way back to the side hall.
boom--
Lin Qian firmly closed the door of the side hall.
Thinking of Lin Qian's reaction just now, Ying Zheng suddenly lowered his head and smiled sullenly.
Others in the hall: "..."
【Your Majesty and Lin Bazi are playing charades? 】
[I've never seen His Majesty laughing so carelessly. It seems that His Majesty really likes Mrs. Lin. 】
【What is His Majesty laughing at? 】
[What is the meaning of "sleep" that His Majesty kept repeating just now?Why did Lin Bazi react so strongly when he heard these two words? 】
……
Lin Linzong couldn't help but remind Ying Zheng of Lin Qian's reaction just now, and couldn't stop laughing even more.
Lin Qian was already lying on the couch like a dead dog, not wanting to move at all.
[Come and kill me with a lightning bolt! 】
【Help, hurry up! 】
Lin Qian covered her head with the quilt, almost crying because of her reaction just now.
It is true that she did not die because of her worrying about "spitting out", but after calming down and thinking about it, her reaction just now seems to be no better than talking about it completely.
Lin Mo rushed back immediately when he heard the news, and as soon as he crossed the screen, he saw Lin Qian wrapped himself in the quilt, rolling around on the couch like a bug: "Ah... Mother Qian, you... what's going on? gone?"
Lin Qian paused, raised her head, and met Lin Mo's bewildered eyes.
Lin Qian: "..."
She pushed away the quilt in an instant, got up and walked to Lin Mo's side: "Mother Mo, I'm so hungry..."
Lin Mo instantly forgot what happened just now, and hurriedly said, "I'm going to the kitchen to pick up food, you wait for now, I'll be right back."
After speaking, he turned and left the room.
Lin Qian stood there and waited for a while, making sure that the person had left, and instantly...
Broken expression.
【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 】
Ying Zheng: "Poof—"
……
After dinner, Lin Qian tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before finally falling asleep.
woke up the next day,
