Ying Zheng waved his hand impatiently and said,"
"You're ten thousand deaths! But now is not the time to plead guilty to me!”
"Answer my question! Perhaps I can spare your life!"
"Get up!"
Xia Wuhe trembled. With the help of the palace maid, he stood up and said with his head lowered,
"Your Majesty…when Afang committed suicide, he did entrust Young Master Qin Feng to this old official.”
"But this old minister…at that time, I was unable to protect this child! If those people knew that Fang and His Majesty had a child, perhaps…"
He raised his head slightly and gave Ying Zheng a glance, then continued,"
" Therefore, this old minister had no choice but to entrust the child to someone to take him away from the State of Qin. This way…perhaps he could still be a peaceful ordinary person…"
Ying Zheng's expression softened a little, signaling him to continue.
"This old minister entrusted the successor of the Mohist Xianglizi, known as Gongqiaozi, Yun Lin.”
Xia Wuqie said,
"This old minister and Yun Lin have been friends for twenty years. He is the person this old minister trusts the most.”
"The Mohist School is the school that values practical things the most. With him leading the Young Master and teaching him some skills and tricks, not to mention wealth, at least he can live on his own.”
"At that time, this old minister hoped that…Little Lord would be able to find a place to settle down and become an ordinary craftsman when he grew up by following Cloud Forest.”
Ying Zheng laughed coldly.
"My son, how dare you make him a craftsman?!”
He said angrily,
"Old thing! Do you think you've lived too long?"
The eldest son of the King of Qin had become a mender?
If word of this got out, not only would it bring shame to Ying Zheng, but also the entire Qin Country, and they would be laughed at for all eternity!
"King, please calm down!"
Xia Wuqie said anxiously,
"At that time, the situation was urgent. This old minister also came up with this plan to protect young master!”
"In life, as long as one's life is still there, everything is fine. But if one's life is gone, then there's nothing to talk about!”
Ying Zheng snorted, flicked his sleeve and said,"
"Where did Yun Lin take him?”
Xia Wuke shook his head awkwardly and said,"
"After that, I haven't seen Yun Lin again. I don't know anything about him…"
"At that time, I told him to stay as far away from Qin as possible. Perhaps…he went to Qi? Chu Country…"
"This old minister…really doesn't know!"
Frightened by Qin Wang, he really did not dare to hide anything and told him everything he knew!
After that, he could not stop kowtowing, trying to reduce the king's anger.
"Qi Chu…"
Ying Zheng's face was cold.
This was similar to Zhang Han's guess…
Could it be that the child of him and Ah Fang was really wandering outside?
Now, Ying Zheng's emotions had been completely stirred up. Even if that 'Qin Feng' in Xianyang was not his son, he still had to find the real Qin Feng!
"Imperial Physician Ling, do you know your sins?"
Ying Zheng looked at Xia Wuqie and said coldly.
"Your Majesty! I have my own difficulties! I couldn't even protect myself back then…"
Xia Wuqi said excitedly. He still wanted to defend himself!
"Hehe, back then?"
Ying Zheng sneered and said,
"Yes, sir! Back then, you were just a small doctor who was afraid of this and that. Anyone had the ability to kill you!”
"But now? You are the Imperial Physician, the person I trust the most. In this world, who would dare not let you speak, who would dare to harm you?”
"But you still hid it from me. You didn't say a word for so many years!”
"If I hadn't suddenly thought of this matter and started investigating, I'm afraid you wouldn't have confessed until you died! You're just going to let my son wander outside for the rest of his life!”
"This is the crime of bullying the monarch and humiliating the country.”
Xia Wuqi's face turned pale.
He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
Indeed, he could have confessed to the King of Qin later, but he chose to hide it in the end.
Because he felt that the matter was over, and the King of Qin did not know anyway, so it was better to avoid trouble…
Human nature was complicated. The cowardly him did not want to be involved in the political struggles of the court. He only wanted to spend his remaining years peacefully…
"Xia Wuqie, do you plead guilty?"
Ying Zheng shouted.
"I…plead guilty." Xia Wuhe fell to the ground in despair and said in a trembling voice.
Bullying the monarch and humiliating the country!
These four words were enough to exterminate his entire family!
The hall was silent.
There was only Xia Wuhe's low breathing and the sound of his body trembling as he rubbed against the ground.
"You were originally sentenced to death!"
Ying Zheng said coldly,
"But considering that you once protected the emperor and when Jing Ke tried to assassinate me, you waved your medicine bag and blocked the fatal blow, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!”
"Therefore, the death penalty can be exempted!"
"However, I can't escape punishment!"
"Men!"
Outside the hall, two guards walked in.
"Abolish Xia Wuqi from his position as the Imperial Physician, strip him of all his titles and land, and throw him into prison!”
Ying Zheng ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The two guards received the order and carried the white-haired old man who was paralyzed on the ground.
At this moment, Xia Wuqi felt a little more at ease and felt lucky for no reason.
Fortunately, it was not the extermination of nine clans! He didn't harm his family!
It was already a blessing in disguise that he was only going to jail…
"Xia Wuqie, I am not a harsh and ungrateful person.”
Ying Zheng said faintly,
"You were the one who started this, so what kind of cause is what kind of effect!”
"It's only right that I throw you into prison today!”
" As for when I'll let you out, I can tell you clearly-"
"The day I find Young Master, I will let you out! Do you understand?"
Xia Wuqie nodded his head vigorously and said gratefully,"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you for not killing me!”
After repeatedly thanking him, he was dragged away by the guards.
"Sigh!"
Frowning, Ying Zheng let out a long sigh and said softly,
"Mo Family? Ranger? Blacksmith…"
"It's getting more and more confusing…Could it be that my son is really an ordinary tinker in the Qi Chu Land?”
That was definitely not what he wanted!
What he wanted was an outstanding heir with potential, not a craftsman farmer without ambition or talent!
Just as he was sighing, a monk sent a memorial to the throne.
"Your Majesty! General Li Xin's memorial stated that the 200,000 strong army had been assembled and was ready to set off!”
Ying Zheng's expression changed. He restrained his emotions, took the memorial, and gave it a quick glance.
"Mm, alright! Li Xin was swift and decisive, and his efficiency was so high. He was indeed a tiger general!”
he praised.
"Go and tell Li Xin to calm down. I will be outside Xianyang City and wish him a triumphant victory!”
"Great Qin will definitely destroy Chu!"
The surrounding temple maids all knelt down and bowed, shouting,"
"Ten thousand victories for the Qin country, ten thousand years for the king!"
