my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 441 The First Emperor: Are you ready to share the burden for me?

In the past few months, except for the two months in the quiet room, they have been under house arrest in this small courtyard until now. They have really never even taken a step outside the courtyard!

And all of this came from the understatement of the emperor's grandson who looked smiling and spoke in a gentle tone.

Thinking of the past few months, especially the experience of being locked up in the quiet room for the first two months, the two of them couldn't help but feel trembling in their hearts and their calves.

Is that the eldest grandson of the emperor who is benevolent and loving?

That was simply a terrifying demon.

Now, that terrible demon has finally come back, and is in the front yard, happily gathering with the First Emperor, exchanging glasses of wine!

The two of them had made countless determinations to strive for freedom even if it meant death, but suddenly they were shaken.

I don't know if there was a connection between them, but they both subconsciously glanced back at the two quiet rooms standing quietly aside.

The door was closed, and the moon was silent.

That claustrophobic and quiet wing, which looked quite ordinary from the outside, was like two ferocious beasts lurking in the night, almost ready to choose people and devour them.

"us……"

Tian Muyuan, who had always been rough-tempered, suddenly hesitated again when he finished speaking.

Ji Zi quietly took off the jade pendant from her waist and quietly stuffed it into the guard's hand.

The two of them were completely unaware that compared to the seemingly harmless emperor's eldest grandson, the First Emperor, who had killed countless people and had a brutal temperament, had become someone they felt they could fight for...

He has an amazing memory. He can name almost every one of the guards and servants in the house. Naturally, he also knows this old man in the house. He has always been loyal and considerate in his work.

"We want to see the young master——"

Ji Ziwei and Tian Muyuan almost cried holding each other's hands on the spot.

"What, that evil one - His Highness the Emperor's Grandson is finally going to see us!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Tian Muyuan was silent for a long time, nodded slightly, and squeezed out the word "good" from between his teeth with some lack of confidence.

Although their spirits were destroyed by Zhao Ying, the two people's wisdom and determination were still there. Now that they were prepared, they no longer hesitated, stood up, and stopped a guard who looked quite kind-hearted.

"Thank you, General. The general will just go and pass the message. As for whether you see the young master or not, we all bear the general's feelings..."

Although the guard didn't know the goods, the jade pendant on Ji Ziwei's waist had warm tentacles. Even a layman could tell that it was probably worth a lot of money. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and pushed the jade pendant in his hand with some difficulty. Went back.

"The situation is urgent, General, please be accommodating..."

"You don't need to be nervous. If you have anything, just tell me. If I can help you solve it, I won't refuse..."

This was the first time in so many years that he had been taught such a lesson by a guard. The key was that he had been lectured to such a degree that he had nothing to say. Tian Muyuan knew his old friend's embarrassment, smiled and said with a cup of his hand.

Ji Zi looked at her old friend who was hesitating and no longer had any of his former charm. He suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head.

When the First Emperor and the Empress travel, even to the residence of the emperor's eldest grandson, someone will naturally take over the security of the emperor's eldest grandson's residence. How can ordinary people get close to them?

This guard, as an old man in the eldest son's house, naturally understood this truth, so he waited patiently outside to see if he could wait for the opportunity.

The two months of claustrophobia had completely shattered the will of this old friend, including myself.

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

The guard's face softened slightly and he nodded.

"Sir, please don't harm me. If I accept this jade pendant from you today, I'm afraid I will be punished by the government in the future. Now, because I work in the emperor's grandson's house, my family feels bright even when I go out. My child, but also Therefore, he was valued by the county and got the opportunity to study in the school..."

"We have to meet him after all. Now that he has come back, he will naturally not leave us alone forever. No matter what, even if we don't go to see him today, I'm afraid he will come to see us in the future. Instead of doing this , it’s not as good as now, in front of the First Emperor, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope..."

"I have seen that Your Highness has warned us more than once that all evil consequences are caused by greed. As ministers, we should always keep our own minds and refrain from greed and arrogance. The two gentlemen are also highly educated and should know this. It's true, don't you know that what you do today will harm my future?"

It happened to be a coincidence, and he really got a chance.

Zhao Ying reacted instantly and thought of the two people he had thrown in the West Cross Courtyard. The corners of his mouth could not help but turn up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

In fact, he couldn't even get close.

After receiving Zhao Ying's reply, the guard turned around and strode back to make arrangements.

Having said this, the hesitation in the middle-aged guard's eyes faded away and became clearer.

Hearing this, the guard nodded, turned around and whispered a few words to the guards on duty together, then turned around and strode away. When he reached the front yard, he did not dare to approach.

"You two are both sensible. Forget it, I will go and pass the message to you. However, since Your Majesty is here today, the young master may not have time to come to see you. I hope the two gentlemen are prepared..."

When the guard heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate.

……

"The general taught you that we were reckless, but we had no intention of harming anyone. We just thought we were strangers and didn't bother the general to inform the young master at this time..."

"Two gentlemen from the West Cross Courtyard?"

He couldn't help but blush, and took back the jade pendant in his hand with a stern expression.

Ji Ziwei:......

"General, please help me. Please inform the young master that I, Ji Ziwei, have something to ask for -"

Jin Er was secretly looking into the courtyard when he suddenly heard a gentle voice behind him. He couldn't help but trembled. He turned around and found that His Highness the Emperor Changsun was personally carrying a steaming plate and walking to his door. nearby.

"Your Highness, we are two old gentlemen from the West Cross Courtyard. They would like to ask to see the young master..."

"Well, I understand. Just ask them to come over and wait. When I finish my work, I will naturally summon them to meet..."

"Jin Er, why are you lingering around here? Maybe there's something going on..."

"promise!"

If they could turn back time and give them a chance to make a new choice, they would rather kill themselves on the spot than be like this now, fearing and worrying about gains and losses just because of someone else's thoughts.

His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun summoned them, how dare they wait here.

He immediately got up and followed Jin Er to the front yard. He was waiting obediently outside the courtyard gate, waiting for His Highness the Emperor Changsun to be summoned at any time.

As a result, the wait lasted for more than an hour.

Until the night was deep, the moon was rising above the willow trees, the banquet inside had dispersed, and the First Emperor's car rumbled away from them. They did not wait for the summons from His Highness the Emperor Changsun.

And their two old legs were almost stiff when they stood...

It's not that they don't want to risk blocking the First Emperor's way, but that they have no chance at all.

Unless, they forcefully break in in front of everyone.

However, they felt that if they really got to that point, they might have to bleed on the spot before anyone could see the First Emperor. Because they had been assassinated one after another, the guards accompanying the First Emperor were already in a state of panic, and they even wanted to stare at one eye while sleeping.

How could we give people the opportunity to disturb the First Emperor at will?

The two could only look at each other and smile bitterly. But without the Emperor's eldest grandson's permission, they did not dare to go back privately. They could only hold on and continue to wait, hoping that His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson would really think of themselves after finishing his busy work...

After all, His Majesty's chariots have already left.

……

However, how did they know that the Emperor's chariot was gone, but it was only the chariot that was gone.

His Majesty the First Emperor and the Queen will stay at the Emperor’s eldest grandson’s house tonight...

Zhao Ying naturally had no time to deal with these two subordinate prisoners before the First Emperor and Empress Zheng rested.

When the banquet was over, the First Emperor waved his hand gently and dismissed everyone, leaving only Zhao Ying alone.

"Long time no see, Ying'er, please come with me for a walk..."

Zhao Ying smiled.

"Just like this, the flowers in the back garden where I often practice martial arts have already bloomed. The vegetables we planted, especially the new vegetables from the Western Regions, are growing very gratifying-just now I was busy preparing the food and didn't have time to take a closer look - why don't we go over and take a look..."

The First Emperor suddenly remembered the scene he saw when he went to the back garden for the first time. He couldn't help but smile and nodded slightly.

"good!"

Although the night was dark, the moonlight was just right at this time, and there were also dim lights hanging on the emperor's grandson's house.

Compared with the daytime, this back garden has a more reassuring smell.

Unconsciously, the two of them were standing at the greenhouse where they had grown vegetables with Zhao Ying.

"At the beginning, I never imagined that you could actually grow edible vegetables in winter through this method..."

Having said this, the First Emperor couldn't help but reveal a smile of relief.

"You child, if your father-in-law hadn't been expelled from Xianyang by me, would you still have been hiding your clumsiness and refusing to show your talent..."

Zhao Ying:......

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer the call.

The First Emperor only thought that Zhao Ying had a guilty conscience and smiled. In the dark of the night, his eyes were inexplicably looking at Zhao Ying who was holding his arm beside him.

After not seeing each other for a while, the child had grown a bit taller. Now standing next to him, he was actually much taller than him.

I have really grown into an adult!

"Ying'er, are you ready to share the burden for your eldest father?"

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He bowed deeply to the First Emperor and spoke sincerely.

"My grandson is willing to carry a spear in my father's hand, expand the territory, and sweep across the world. I am also willing to serve as my father's sidekick and protect him!"

The First Emperor couldn't help laughing when he looked at Zhao Ying who couldn't bow his head. His laughter was still unsteady, and he couldn't help but cough again. It took him a long time to calm down. He looked at Zhao Ying and said seriously.

"How can my grandson be just a spear in my father's hand and a bodyguard by his side?"

Having said this, he stretched out his big, skinny hand and gently patted Zhao Ying on the shoulder.

"Tomorrow morning, remember to arrive early..."

Zhao Ying straightened up, looked at the First Emperor firmly, and nodded heavily.

"promise!"

Seeing that Zhao Ying seemed to understand what he was thinking, the First Emperor couldn't help but smile.

"You don't need to be so serious. People say that if something happens and the disciple has to do his job, you will be treated as the elder father. You, the grandson, will come out to share some of the pressure for the elder father..."

When Zhao Ying heard this, his expression became much more relaxed.

"There is no problem in sharing the pressure. Anyway, the eldest father is using me as a slave now..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

He cursed angrily.

"You brat, you dare to slander your eldest father like this - let me see you, where did you hide your clumsiness in the first place? You clearly just wanted to hide under the protection of your eldest father and your grandpa and be lazy! If I had known this, I might as well have Kick you out as soon as possible..."

Zhao Ying:......

Ah, this——

How embarrassing are you for my love?

……

When the First Emperor returned to the room prepared by Zhao Ying to sleep, Zhao Ying personally checked the security situation in the house before leaving with peace of mind. It was already halfway through Haishi.

At this time, if it were in later generations, it would naturally not be considered too late, but in this era, it is really already very late.

As for Ji Ziwei and Tian Muyuan, who were waiting at the door of the front yard, their legs were already stiff and their hearts were suffering. It was one thing that they were old and their bodies could not hold up. The main thing was that it was too torturous.

Looking at the dim lights around them and the emperor's grandson's mansion which had gradually become quiet, the two couldn't help but look at each other and suddenly regretted asking to see the emperor's grandson today.

What about the emperor's eldest grandson? Wouldn't it be nice to stay in that courtyard...

But they really didn't dare to go back without the emperor's eldest grandson's order.

What if I missed the summons of the emperor's eldest grandson and was imprisoned in that quiet room by him again...

Thinking of this possibility, the two of them could not help but tremble.

At this moment, they finally heard the gentle voice that they could never forget.

"Sorry for keeping these two old gentlemen waiting for so long..."

Two people:……

It was so late, and His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson actually remembered such a trivial matter as meeting him!

Suddenly, two people with a combined age of over a hundred and several dozen years were actually quite moved. It was really not easy.

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Looking at the two people who were frightened and even somewhat flattering in front of him, Zhao Ying couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. What a crime!

Look at the confinement for these two months, it almost makes people go crazy.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, I really just forgot at the beginning.

Photographic memory means you have a good memory, but no matter how good your memory is, it must be based on what you are willing to think about. When he was so busy, why would he remember these two old gentlemen he picked up casually every day?

It's not like Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu, or Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and other famous figures in the history who keep him in mind all the time.
