The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 131 Bad news

The First Emperor Ying Zheng looked at Princess Xia who was standing aside. Princess Xia immediately said: "Your Majesty, please go and deal with political affairs. I will be watching over you..."

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor Ying Zheng stood up immediately, bowed slightly to Princess Xia, then turned and left.

When the waiter who came just now saw this, his eyes immediately narrowed and he couldn't help but look at Princess Xia on the side, guessing Princess Xia's identity.

But he only took a glance and quickly left with the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

Princess Xia was originally a general in the army, leading troops in battles, and had extraordinary martial arts skills. She was very sensitive to hidden glances. She noticed the waiter's gaze in an instant, but at this time, her attention was on Bai Zhi, so naturally she would not Pay attention to the little things like this.

Zhao Gao followed the First Emperor Ying Zheng, thinking about the identity of the woman in Huizhi Palace just now.

Whose residence was Huizhi Palace?

Princess Xia!
Zhen Guo Princess!

Since the death of Princess Zhenguo, no one has lived in this palace anymore. Except for the sacred bird and Ta Xue who often come here, there are only the palace maids responsible for cleaning.

But at this moment, there was a woman living there, and she even asked the First Emperor Ying Zheng to salute respectfully and accept it calmly!
"Could it be..."

A guess suddenly emerged in Zhao Gao's mind, but he shook his head repeatedly, refusing to believe it.

"How is it possible? How can someone who has passed away reappear!"

……

The officials of the military intelligence cabinet who came from the north had read through it, and for a while, everyone's faces showed a look of sadness.

A gloomy atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire palace, and the depression seemed to condense into water.

After a moment, the cabinet minister heard footsteps coming from outside. Everyone stood up quickly and saluted respectfully, "I have met your Majesty!"

"waived!"

The First Emperor Ying Zheng came in a hurry and did not notice the atmosphere in the palace. He immediately asked: "What is the military situation in the north? Why did you use Baili Express?"

The First Emperor looked at everyone, then looked at Li Si aside and asked.

Li Si hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know how to speak.

At this time, the First Emperor Ying Zheng also noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere. He immediately frowned, looked at Feng Quji on the other side, and said seriously:
"Feng Qing, you are a veteran of the court. Please tell me, what is recorded in the military information?!"

"His Majesty……"

Feng Quji's white hair trembled along with his body, and then he burst into tears and knelt on the ground, crying sadly: "Young Master Fusu... Young Master Fusu was assassinated by Xiongnu in the military camp. He has been..."

"...has died!"

"What... what?!"

It was like a thunderbolt from the blue, exploding in my ears.

When the First Emperor Ying Zheng heard the words suddenly, his feet suddenly became unsteady, and his heavy footsteps fell to the ground with a "thump thump thump". He stepped back and almost fell on his back.

The cabinet ministers on the side quickly stepped forward to help and at the same time advised: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

For a moment, the face of the First Emperor Ying Zheng became extremely pale and his eyes were blank.In just one day, two pieces of sad news came, and even Ying Zheng, who was in his prime, couldn't bear it.

After a long time, the First Emperor Ying Zheng took a deep breath, looked at Feng Quji on the side, and asked sternly: "How is Meng Tian in the army? Meng Tian led the army in the battle, why didn't he protect Fusu's safety?!"

"..."

Everyone was silent, they didn't know much about leading troops in battle.

After all, everything is changing rapidly in the military formation, and it is even said that "the general will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted." Who knows what is happening in the northern military camp!

After a moment, Li Sicai said: "...Your Majesty, General Meng Tian knew that it would be disadvantageous to protect the young master Fusu, and he felt angry and ashamed. He handed over all matters in the general to the deputy general Wang Bi, and has... committed suicide to apologize!"

First Emperor Yingzheng: "..."

Hearing Meng Tian commit suicide and apologize again, Ying Zheng could no longer stand and fell into a coma instantly.

The ministers on the side quickly stepped forward to help Ying Zheng.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"Hurry up and send the doctor!"

"..."

……

When the news that the First Emperor Ying Zheng fell into a coma reached the harem, Queen Mother Zhao Ji and Queen Mi quickly rushed to the First Emperor's palace to visit.

At the same time, he was also captured by Xia Dezhi, the princess of Huizhi Palace.

Princess Xia was puzzled. It was just the divine bird that had an accident and fell into nirvana. The First Emperor would not have also fallen into a coma.

When she walked out of Huizhi Palace, she saw that the soldiers guarding Huizhi Palace saw Princess Xia and immediately bowed respectfully.

They didn't know the identity of Princess Xia, but they were told by the First Emperor Ying Zheng that they should treat Princess Xia as if they were the First Emperor.

"Take me to see the First Emperor."

Princess Xia looked at the two soldiers and ordered.

"Here!"

Among the two soldiers, one immediately stepped out and respectfully led the way for Princess Xia.

The First Emperor's palace was now filled with doctors, and at the same time, there were also important officials waiting quietly in the palace.

It was the first time that Emperor Ying Zheng fell into a coma, so they had to be alerted.After all, before this, the First Emperor was in very good health and had never even suffered from disease.

At the same time, the white-haired Queen Mother Zhao Ji looked into the palace, anxiously waiting for the doctor's diagnosis.

At the same time, there is also the Queen, Mrs. Mi.

Mrs. Mi still didn't know that her son Fusu had died.

Even Feng Quji and others who knew about it did not dare to tell others the news.

While everyone was waiting quietly, there was a sudden noise outside the palace.Everyone couldn't help but frown, but their attention also turned outside.

"What happened?"

Feng Quji walked out immediately and asked about the situation.

"Someone outside the palace gate wants to break into the palace of the First Emperor..."

A soldier immediately turned around to report the situation.

"Someone broke into the palace?"

Feng Quji frowned, then took a few more steps and looked outside.Looking up, he saw a beautiful woman standing outside the palace gate, frowning at him.

Feng Quji was stunned when he saw the woman. He subconsciously thought that she was a favored beauty in the harem of the First Emperor. He was about to explain and ask her to return, but suddenly he was interrupted again.

Because, he actually felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.

Before he could ask, the woman spoke first, "How is the First Emperor doing?"

Such titles are not like ordinary people.

If he is an ordinary person, he will be called Your Majesty due to the majesty of the First Emperor.

But the woman in front of him had no scruples in calling His Majesty the First Emperor!
"You are……"

Feng Quji was a little uncertain and didn't dare to drive away rashly.

Princess Xia looked at the old man in front of her and knew that he was a minister of the First Emperor, so she was not embarrassed and asked directly: "Why is the First Emperor unconscious?"

Feng Quji frowned. As for the reason for His Majesty's coma, it was obviously impossible to tell him easily, so he looked at Princess Xia with a solemn face and asked, "I wonder if Your Majesty is..."

"I am a member of the Qin clan..."

Princess Xia said.

But what Princess Xia said made Feng Quji even more vigilant.

It turned out to be a member of the Qin clan, so we couldn't tell Princess Xia.Now that Prince Fusu has died and the First Emperor has fallen into a coma, if there is anyone in the Qin clan who is greedy, I am afraid...

Have to prevent!

Seeing that Feng Quji was still unwilling to say more, Princess Xia frowned. Finally, she sighed slightly and said, "My name is Xia, and I was named Zhenguo during the reign of King Huiwen!"

Although Princess Zhenguo was a legacy edict from King Huiwen, it was also a reward from King Huiwen.

It is not wrong to say so.

Hearing the shocking words spoken in a calm tone by the woman in front of him, Feng Quji finally remembered why the woman in front of him looked so familiar.In the Qin Palace, there were portraits of the former kings, and even portraits of the princesses of the country. Feng Quji was lucky enough to see them.

Just now, I felt that the woman in front of me looked familiar, but now I finally learned that she was actually the legendary Princess Xia.

but……

Feng Quji frowned, wondering how the ancients could calm people down when they appeared in front of them.

…………

In the palace, the doctor finally walked out of the First Emperor's palace, and everyone quickly gathered around him, asking about the First Emperor's condition.

"What happened to Your Majesty?"

"It's okay. Your Majesty is just suffering from a sudden attack of anger, which caused him to faint. It won't take long for him to wake up!"

A doctor with white hair and beard said this.

"That's good..."

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

After most of the doctors retreated, only a few doctors were left to guard the Qin Palace at all times.Feng Quji, who had gone out, also returned at this time. Just when Li Sigang was about to tell the situation about the First Emperor, he suddenly noticed a woman appearing next to him.

"Who is this……"

Li Si was shocked and confused, wondering who Princess Xia was.

Feng Quji did not explain and took Princess Xia into the palace. At this time, the ministers, Mrs. Mi and Queen Mother Zhao Ji also saw Feng Quji and Princess Xia coming in.

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Princess Xia.

Princess Xia ignored everyone in the palace. Following Feng Quji's instructions, Princess Xia slowly walked towards the First Emperor's palace.

"stop……"

Seeing this, Queen Mother Zhao Ji quickly stopped her, but Feng Quji quickly signaled Queen Mother Zhao Ji not to say anything.

Princess Xia then gently opened the dark red curtain and walked inside.

"Who was that woman just now?"

Seeing Princess Xia entering, everyone quickly looked at Feng Quji, with inquiry and even anger on their faces.

Feng Quji sighed lightly and said, "The one who just entered is... the legendary Princess Zhenguo!"

"Huh? Princess of Zhenguo?!"

"You...are talking about...that one?"

"impossible!"

"Is it possible that you are about to fall into coma too?"

"..."

Everyone didn't believe Feng Quji's words, but when they saw Feng Quji's serious face, their doubtful voices suddenly dropped.

Because Feng Quji was a veteran in the court and trusted by the First Emperor, it was impossible for him to lie on this matter and he had no reason to lie.

Seeing that everyone calmed down, Feng Quji added: "Princess Zhenguo came from Huizhi Palace. Today, the divine bird suddenly passed into nirvana. I'm afraid it has something to do with Princess Zhenguo!"

"You mean... the divine bird can bring the princess of Zhenguo back to life and regain her appearance?!!"

Queen Mother Zhao Ji was amazed and stared at Feng Quji. The wrinkles on her face seemed to become more ferocious at this time.

Feng Quji didn't know, so he didn't answer.

After a moment, the curtain was lifted again, the voices of everyone in the palace stopped, and their eyes focused on Princess Xia.

Seeing this, Princess Xia made a rounds and stopped being silent. She said directly: "I'm afraid you already know my identity, so I won't explain it anymore."

"As for the First Emperor, it's fine, don't worry!"

"My ministers will work hard on the affairs of the court."

"Don't dare!"

Feng Quji, Li Si and others quickly saluted respectfully.

The person in front of me is the princess of Zhenguo. She fought for the country when King Huiwen was king. After that, she protected King Wu and King Zhaoxiang. Her achievements in protecting the country are worthy of the name of Zhenguo.

At this moment, no one dares to disobey the princess' words.

Almost everyone present had seen the portrait of the late king in the Qin Palace, and even the portrait of the princess of Zhenguo.

The person above the portrait gradually overlapped with the person in front of him, making them respectful.

……

In the next few days, Xianyang City remained the same, but dignitaries could detect that there seemed to be something different in Xianyang Palace.

There are also some people who have heard about the coma of the First Emperor.

On the third day, the First Emperor finally woke up, but his breath was weak. The death of Prince Fusu seemed to have dealt a heavy blow to the First Emperor.

However, the First Emperor Ying Zheng did not give up on himself.On the second day after waking up, he immediately summoned the ministers and at the same time personally invited Princess Xia from Huizhi Palace to attend the court meeting.

"You are now the First Emperor, and all the wise men in the world have entered the Qin Palace. Why do you still need me to attend the court meeting?"

The implication is that I, an "ancient", don't need to participate in the affairs of your generation.

But the First Emperor begged for it.

Said: "Everyone knows that I am the First Emperor, and I am respected by everyone in the world. However, when I am a king, I am a 'little man', let alone now?"

Princess Xia Wenzhi was silent.

Why didn't she know what the First Emperor meant, so she asked instead, "Is there no one in the court whom you trust, the First Emperor?"

"Even if there is one, it's not as good as the title of a country!"

The First Emperor said so.

Princess Xia was silent for a long time and nodded slightly.

……

The next day.

The rising sun is rising, the sun is shining brightly.The golden light shines among the palaces and pavilions, making the Qin Palace even more majestic and solemn.

Xianyang Palace, on the tall steps, the officials climbed up the steps and then entered the Xianyang Palace.

They sat down separately and no longer talked casually like before.

I don't know how long I waited, but the First Emperor arrived and the court meeting officially began.

But he saw the First Emperor looking at the civil and military officials below, and then slowly said, "As you all know, Qin has a divine bird, and it is destined to return to Qin!"

"The divine bird is an auspicious sign from the sky. It has the ability to resurrect from the dead and live forever."

"Therefore, the divine bird awakened the ancestors of Qin!"

"what?!"

People who don't know the truth can't help but murmur in a low voice.

"how can that be!?"

Some people even looked unconvinced.

"What nonsense!"

Some Confucian scholars scolded him in a low voice, but did not dare to speak loudly.

……

At this time, the First Emperor stood up and looked outside the palace.

Seeing this, all the civil and military officials turned their heads and looked outside the huge palace.Sunlight shines through the window lattice, forming beams of light and spots of light.

However, at this moment, suddenly a figure slowly climbed up the stairs.First the head, then the upper body, then the entire body.

But because it is backed by the rising sun, people cannot see the specific appearance of the visitor.

However, based on her slender figure and clothing, we can guess that she is a woman.
