Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 32 The Locust Plague Is Coming

Yingzheng left Mrs. Gongsun's bedroom and was about to go back to his imperial study when he accidentally saw a lot of servants in a courtyard in the palace busy in and out.

After watching for a long time, under the reminder of Ying Zheng's servant, he finally remembered that Mrs. Qiongzhi moved back to the palace today, which is Mrs. Qiongzhi's bedroom, so she wanted to go and have a look.

But as soon as he walked into Mrs. Qiongzhi's palace courtyard, he accidentally heard Mrs. Qiongzhi talking to someone in the main hall.

Ying Zheng stopped the chamberlain who wanted to go in, pointed to the main hall and asked, "Who is talking to Mrs. Qiongzhi inside?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is Your Highness the Ninth Prince." The servant quickly replied.

It's Zhao Yi!Li Shimin was overjoyed, and pushed the waiter, "Okay, you don't need to serve here, go down!"

As he said that, Ying Zheng went straight to Mrs. Qiongzhi's bedroom, and when he was about to get closer, he heard the conversation between Mrs. Qiongzhi and Zhao Yi.

"Yi'er, how did I hear that your father took you to Madam Gongsun today?" Madam Qiongzhi's voice was full of concern.

"Mother, I don't know either!" Zhao Yi's tone was full of complaints, "I don't know what kind of crazy he is. If he insists on dragging me, I can't go if I don't want to!"

Mrs. Qiongzhi frowned slightly. She was a little puzzled when she heard about it. She didn't understand why Yingzheng sent her son to Gongsun.

But soon Mrs. Qiongzhi warned Zhao Yi: "Yi'er, when you live in Xianyang City from now on, be careful with what you say and do, and use honorifics for your father and ministers. Don’t act like you’re in Zhaozhuang, otherwise you won’t even know if you’ve been convicted.”

Mrs. Qiongzhi was actually very worried about Zhao Yi. Her son knew it in her heart. Although she was considered a high-ranking official now, she knew her son's virtues very well.

It is unethical to dare to speak like this in the palace now. If this happens one day in front of Ying Zheng, then the pigtail will not be caught casually and punished however he wants!

"Mother, oh, concubine, please relax, I understand." Zhao Yi couldn't resist his mother, so he could only speak politely, but before he said a few words, his true colors were revealed.

"I will never go to court again, and I will never pay attention to that old thing again. I will hide away from anyone who has anything to do with that old thing!"

"Zhao Yi!" Mrs. Qiongzhi was startled, she stretched out her hand and slapped Zhao Yi's mouth, but she didn't slap her too hard even though she was anxious.

"You can say such outrageous words. That's your father, how did you say that? You son of a bitch, do you have to worry about me to death?"

Mrs. Qiongzhi jumped in anxiety, but Zhao Yi had an expression of indifference, and Ying Zheng, who was standing outside, also looked helpless after hearing this.

Originally thought that Zhao Yi called himself an old man, and only dared to say it in his heart, but he didn't expect to dare to call him that in front of Mrs. Qiongzhi, he was simply a rebellious son!

"Ahem..." The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more angry he became, and he choked on his own saliva, so he could only push the door open.

Zhao Yi and Mrs. Qiongzhi in the main hall were surprised when they saw Ying Zheng coming in alone.

[Damn it, when did the old thing come?Why does the haunted spirit still scare me, don't you know that people scare people, scare people to death? 】

[Could it be intentional to eavesdrop?He must have listened to what labor and capital said just now, right? 】

Ying Zheng smiled meaningfully. Looking at Zhao Yi's nervous expression, he knew that this guy was not really bohemian, and he felt a lot better, but his face sank again when he heard that this guy said that he was haunted.

"Your Majesty, you, why are you here? It's a mess here, and no one has reported it. You can rest here..."

Mrs. Qiongzhi was at a loss. Ying Zheng casually signaled to Mrs. Qiongzhi that she did not have to do this, "I asked them not to report it. I just came here to take a look. If you are in the palace today, if you need anything, just ask the chamberlain to do it. Don't be afraid of trouble."

What Ying Zheng said casually, in Mrs. Qiongzhi's ears, became concern. Ying Zheng had never spoken to her in such a thoughtful way before, so Mrs. Qiongzhi was so moved.

[Mother, please be a bit promising, don't you know the virtues of this old thing? 】

[I can't help it, I can't control it, the old guy can still deceive his mother around at his age, it really is the legendary King of the Sea with a scumbag physique, no woman can resist it! 】

【Why am I his own? Otherwise, I would coax all his princesses into a circle! 】

Rebel!Ying Zheng was furious, wishing he could crush Zhao Yi to death on the spot.

If it weren't for the fact that he saved Mrs. Gongsun today, Ying Zheng really wanted to kill this traitor right now.

He could only act as if he didn't know anything, and Ying Zheng took the seat at the top of the main hall. Zhao Yi made a quail look, looking at his nose, nose, nose and heart, pretending to be an empty person.

Mrs. Qiongzhi didn't let him pretend to be an empty person, and pushed Zhao Yi hard, "Yi'er, why are you so rude, don't you know that you have to salute when you see your father?"

Ying Zheng saw the reluctant expression on Zhao Yi's face and waved his hand: "No need, there are only you and me here. Why should we be so formal as a family? From now on, when there are no outsiders, just act like we are in Zhaozhuang."

Um?Zhao Yi was suddenly happy when he heard Ying Zheng's words.

[Hey, the old guy has really changed his gender recently, and he really looks like a kind father. 】

[Could it be pretending, but it's not necessary, it's not necessary in front of me and mother, why is that? 】

[Whatever, as long as you don’t salute, it will be fine. If you salute all day long, your labor will be exhausted...]

Zhao Yi's heartfelt voice finally made Ying Zheng laugh when he heard it in Ying Zheng's mind. This rebellious son finally knows that he is his father!

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Mrs. Qiongzhi finally felt relieved and said, "Your Majesty, you can go out for a walk more often when you have time. Don't be too tired."

Ying Zheng nodded, "Recently, Guanzhong came to report that this year's harvest should be good, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State, was built on the Guanzhong Plain. Nearby is the Zhengguo Canal with a total length of more than 200 miles, which irrigates nearly 300 million mu of farmland in the Guanzhong Plain.

[Hehe, a good harvest?Breathe a sigh of relief?Go dreaming, the old man still doesn't know what it means to rejuvenate the country through hard work, and he doesn't even know that the locust plague is coming? 】

[If I remember correctly, this year the entire Guanzhong Plain will experience a once-in-a-century plague of locusts, and the entire Guanzhong Plain will be completely wiped out! 】

[At that time, the entire Great Qin Dynasty will suffer an unprecedented test, and millions of refugees will be displaced and homeless! 】

hum-

Ying Zheng, who was in a relaxed mood just now, suddenly heard Zhao Yi's complaints, and his head was buzzing instantly.

The once-in-a-century locust plague?The Guanzhong Plain is completely harvested?How can this be!Ying Zheng felt bad all of a sudden!
