The eunuch cupped his hands again.”
"Wu Jie's head was hung on the north gate of Xianyang City that day and will be exposed for three days.”
"Today is the third day. Wu Jie's head should have been taken off.”
Lao Ai felt a pang in his heart, and a sweet taste rose in his throat, as if he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The common people might not know who Wu Jie's backer was, but who in the imperial court did not know that Wu Jie was Lao Ai's most trusted henchman?
Wu Jie's head had been hung outside the north gate for three days and three nights, which clearly showed that Lao Ai could not protect his henchmen, and he did not even have the ability to leave his henchmen's corpses intact!
From now on, who would be willing to serve Lao Ai as a hanger-on?
How could Lao Ai's henchmen not be panicking?
Killing Wu Jie, County Magistrate Lang Meng, and the others was equivalent to cutting off one of Lao Ai's arms.
Hanging Wu Jie's head outside the city gate for three days was equivalent to breaking Lao Ai's leg!
Swallowing the blood foam, Lao Ai was so furious that his voice began to tremble.""How dare you!"
"He actually hung Wu Jie's head on the gate of Xianyang City?”
"Are you bullying me because you think I'm not in Xianyang?”
"This marquis is the king's fake father. How dare the king treat this marquis like this!”
"Zheng 'er is becoming more and more disobedient."”
"Even if he doesn't care about Marquis Changxin's care for him, he should still remember that Marquis Changxin is his mother's man!”
Seeing that Lao Ai's originally gentle and beautiful face was now twisted in anger, Lady Zhao comforted him,""It's fine."
"Shuofang County is bitter and cold, and the income is not abundant.”
"But now, you have obtained Yongdu as your fief.”
"It's worth it to exchange Yongdu for Shuofang!"
Only then did Lao Ai's anger subside a little, and he looked at Lady Zhao with an aggrieved expression,""How can His Majesty do this!"
Lady Zhao gently stroked Lao Ai's knitted brows and said in a serious tone,""You don't have to worry about Wu Jie. I just gave birth to our child a few days ago, so my body is weak.”
"After I recuperate, I will return to Xianyang City and help you vent your anger!”
Zhao Ji felt a little guilty.
If not for the fact that Zhao Ji was pregnant but did not dare to let Empress Dowager Hua Yang see it, and did not dare to let the civil and military officials in the court know, she could only come to Yongdu to stabilize her pregnancy and give birth.
If that was the case, Lao Ai would not have left Xianyang City with Lady Zhao and stayed in Yongdu permanently.
If either Lady Zhao or Lao Ai were in Xianyang City right now, Lao Ai would not have suffered such a heavy loss.
Lao Ai looked at Lady Zhao affectionately and said,""I understand. You don't have to say it. I understand your feelings!”
Looking at Lao Ai and Lady Zhao's lovey-dovey behavior, the eunuch felt a wave of nausea in his heart. He couldn't help but say,""Empress Dowager, Marquis Changxin didn't obtain the fief of Yongdu.”
The tender expression on Lady Zhao's face immediately stiffened. She glared at the eunuch and said,""Could it be that Lu Buwei dares to ignore my decree?”
The eunuch hastily cupped his hands and said,"I don't know."”
"However, in this court meeting, Lu Buwei's profiteer Qi Liang was demoted to a commoner because of his offensive words and even declared in court that if the Yellow River burst its banks, he would take responsibility for it.”
"Lu Buwei has also suffered great losses in this Grand Court Meeting.”
"Perhaps because of this, Lu Buwei didn't suggest turning Yongdu into Marquis Changxin's fief.”
Both Lady Zhao and Lao Ai were shocked upon hearing this, and they looked at each other in disbelief.
They had only left Xianyang City for seven or eight months. How could there be such a huge change in the imperial court?
If Lao Ai's men were killed because he was not in Xianyang, then what about Lu Buwei's henchmen who were demoted to civilians?
" What?" Concubine Zhao asked in a low voice," After this court meeting, you, Lu Buwei, and I both lost, but Zheng 'er obtained great benefits?"”
"Isn't Zheng 'er not in power yet? How can he have such great ability?”
" I'm sure His Majesty has hidden a great number of forces from you," Lao Ai said in a deep voice.”
"His Majesty has grown up, after all, and will no longer be as obedient as before.”
"Indeed, Zheng 'er is becoming more and more disobedient."”
"You actually didn't come to ask for my permission for such a big matter.”
"Now, I'm even attacking you. This is clearly not putting me in your eyes.”
As she spoke, she looked at the two babies and smiled.
"Babies are still the cutest."
"Even if you and I are in love in front of them, they won't understand anything.”
He had successfully made things difficult for Ying Zheng again. A smile appeared on Lao Ai's face, but soon, his face darkened.
"However, the key person this time is not King, but Ying Qian!”
"If Ying Qian's men hadn't escorted the people of Langmeng County to Xianyang City, my men would have handled this matter properly.”
"The person who killed Wu Jie in the main hall and established the victory was also Ying Qian!”
"You're right." Zhao Ji nodded.”
"I didn't pay much attention to this child before. I only heard that this child isn't good at literature or martial arts.”
"But from the looks of it now, this kid has always been hiding his strength!”
" This kid has been hiding his schemes for sixteen years," Lao Ai said in a deep voice." He is definitely not a good person."”
"Moreover, this child has always lived in Xianyang Palace and has never opened his own residence.”
"With his schemes, he might have already guessed what happened between us.”
Lady Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Lao Ai in panic.""Just like Ying Chengjiao?"
"But even if Ying Qian displayed some ability this time, he can't compare to Ying Chengjiao, right?”
"Ying Chengjiao's intelligence is renowned throughout the world, even though the Han Family has been praising him.”
Lao Ai shook his head slowly." I'm not sure either. But, I'm just being cautious."”
"If Ying Qian really has the same intelligence as Ying Chengjiao, he is more terrifying than Ying Chengjiao just because he knows how to hide his strength!”
"But killing Ying Chengjiao has already made many people suspect you and me.”
"If I kill Ying Qian again, will our relationship…"
Before Lady Zhao could finish, Lao Ai sighed and said,""I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay by your side forever!”
Lao Ai looked at Lady Zhao with a look that was three parts bleak, three parts tender, and four parts reluctant to part. His feminine face was filled with love.
Lady Zhao felt a sharp pain in her heart. She quickly grabbed Lao Ai's hand and said coldly,"
"That damned Madam Qin, even after she died, she still left such a big trouble for me!”
"Ying Qian, this empress must kill him!”
Ying Qian was not Lady Zhao's son, but the child of Ying Yiren and Madam Qin.
Therefore, Concubine Zhao didn't have any psychological burden in killing Ying Qian.
Lao Ai held Lady Zhao's hand tightly and nodded with a smile,""That's right. All those who hinder us from being together should die!”
Lowering his head, the smile on Lao Ai's face grew colder and colder.
