Chapter 118: Stabilizing the State
At night in Xiang County, Yue Xin and a few others were together in the yard, looking in the direction of Xianyang and talking.
"I wonder if you have arrived in Xianyang?"
He had never missed her so much before, even when he had been at her base for a year, but now his longing was about to overwhelm her.
"It should be here today, but I don't know if your body can handle it."
Xuhe knew how fast the Black Guards were, but Qin Xingfu had been injured before and had to travel thousands of miles to Xianyang before he had fully recovered.
Dan Yao walked back and forth holding Ming Qi, with worry in his eyes.
"Your Majesty urgently summons me, and I'm sure you will rush on regardless."
"My Lord will be fine."
Yue Xin believed that he would be fine.
Lu Zhi heard their conversation and felt relieved. She thought it was too outrageous at first, but she didn't expect that she could accept it. These people were sincere to the child. Although it was different from modern monogamy, as long as the child was happy, it was fine.
"Mother! Will Lord Qin live to be a hundred years old?"
Wei Ao couldn't sleep. Her father was gone, and her mother was different now than when she was a child, but she was still her mother. She didn't want to believe that her mother was gone.
Lu Zhi touched her head and said.
"Yes! She will live a long and healthy life!"
Gongshu Yuan was a little annoyed. He had finally finished dealing with a lot of affairs, but so many things happened. Now she was called back. He wondered if he would be able to see her again in this life.
Looking up at the Purple Star in the sky, two of them appeared, seemingly competing secretly and vying for glory. There was a hint of ruthlessness in their eyes, wishing they were all dead!
Qin Xingfu slept for a day and a night. When she saw Lingjuan, she remembered that she was now in Xianyang. She was a little hungry. When she was about to get up, Lingjuan, who was lying beside her, woke up.
"My lord, you are awake!"
Qin Xingfu asked while putting on his shoes.
"Well, how long have I slept?"
"One day and one night, adults? Ding Zhao has prepared food."
"Well, I'm very hungry."
"Then wait a minute. I'll ask them to bring some food."
"Wang Wang!"
"Meow~"
Lingjuan happily went to order food, and as soon as he opened the door, a cat and a dog came in.
Qin Xingfu touched their heads.
"You're all so old, I'm fine."
After a while, Ding Zhao, Fu Yuan and Ling Juan came over with food boxes.
"Are you starving, my lord? These foods are good for your stomach and easy to digest."
Ding Zhao said as he served the dishes.
Qin Xingfu was so hungry that she couldn't take her eyes off the food. Lingjuan served the rice and gave her the bowl and chopsticks, and she started eating right away.
"Thank you! Great time!"
Seeing how hungry she was, several people hurried to help her pick up some food. Qin Xingfu would pick up some food for the cats and dogs from time to time and eat together.
She quickly finished the entire table of food and touched her belly, feeling so comfortable.
"I'm so full! What time is it now?"
"It's about 12:00."
Fu Yuan would say, and Qin Xingfu nodded, she had slept for quite a long time.
"Okay, it's getting late, you guys should get some rest first!"
After eating and drinking, she felt a little sleepy again. Ding Zhao and Fu Yuan put away the table and went downstairs. Ling Juan stayed with her all the time.
"Aren't you going back to see the kids?"
"Gaudet can, sir. Gaudet said you were injured, but do you want to change the dressing?"
Qin Xingfu then remembered that his legs were still injured and nodded.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Bring some new wound dressing and gauze and change the medicine."
Lingjuan came to the room with her, carrying a medicine box. Qin Xingfu felt uncomfortable in her clothes, so she changed into her own pajamas. Everything was clean, so she just put them on.
Lingjuan helped her change clothes. Seeing the wounds of varying sizes, depths and shallowness on her body, and her legs wrapped in gauze, tears welled up in her eyes. She opened her eyes hard to hold back the tears, and carefully opened the wounds. Seeing the originally white legs covered in wounds, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"It's okay, I'm not hurt."
Qin Xingfu comforted her instead. It would have been fine if she didn't say anything. As soon as she said it, Lingjuan couldn't hold it in any longer and golden beans dropped down like money.
"Wow... Sir, why are you so injured? Who hurt you? I feel so bad!"
Qin Xingfu held his forehead and smiled bitterly. Not wanting them to know too much, he pretended to be relaxed.
"It's okay. I don't know whether that person is dead or alive. One day I will take revenge myself. Don't cry. You are already a mother. Be mature. Your tears will only rub salt into my wounds."
Lingjuan quickly wiped away her tears, carefully helped her clean the wound and apply medicine, and even blew on it for her.
"My Lord, does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, Lingjuan, you are becoming more and more gentle. Let's have a good chat later."
Qin Xingfu bandaged the wound, got up to wash, and the two of them lay on the bed and talked.
"Your child is almost two years old! Bring him here tomorrow to see."
"She's one and a half years old. She was born two months after you left. She's a delicate girl. Gao De named her Min, hoping that she will be smart in the future."
Speaking of children, Lingjuan's face showed a lot of joy.
"It's pretty good. You'll have a great future. How's your health in the past few years since you gave birth to your child? Are you okay?"
"It's OK. Now many people are following the book written by Mr. Dan Yao to recover their bodies, and the results are very good. Mr. Dan Yao really cares about women."
Speaking of Dan Yao, Qin Xingfu also missed her a little.
"They are all very talented people, but they can't display their talents too much around me. Your brother is the same. If he enters the government, he will definitely achieve a lot."
"Brother, I am very satisfied to be with you."
Lingjuan really hopes that they can all come back and no longer have to suffer in Xiangjun.
"My Lord, Xiang County is very hard, isn't it?"
"It's OK. It has a unique flavor. The winter there is not as cold as Xianyang. The summer is a bit hot, but it's OK with air conditioning and electric fans. Jianglu sent some fruits back a while ago. Have you eaten them?"
Lingjuan thought of the stinky fruit and felt embarrassed.
"Sir, that thing stinks! In the entire Xingfu Street, only those little brats and Ding Zhao like it. I can't eat it."
"Haha... It's okay. It's actually delicious. It's okay if you can't eat it. What about the gemstones? They're great for making jewelry."
"Yeah, yes, we opened a shop together, and the gems are very popular..."
Speaking of this, Ling Juan talked incessantly and was very excited. Qin Xingfu thought it was great that they had their own lives and very much approved of their approach.
After a night, Qin Xingfu regained his energy. He opened the innermost layer of the laboratory and looked at the things inside. Qin Xingfu sighed.
"Alas... this secret base was first used by the First Emperor."
Qin Xingfu checked something similar to a hibernation chamber, readjusted its functions, and also put a monitor and an oxygen concentrator in it.
After a busy day, she was exhausted. She packed up and asked Fu Yuan to deliver a letter to Fusu.
Late at night, Hei Yi had already brought the First Emperor here.
"Heiyi, carry His Majesty on your back and follow me in!"
After Qin Xingfu finished speaking, Hei Yi followed her into the laboratory. When he got inside, he found it was a completely different world. He followed her in without changing his expression.
"Come, put His Majesty here!"
Qin Xingfu pointed to a place, and Hei Yi hesitated. This box-like thing, is he going to put His Majesty here?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"
Hei Yi had no choice but to put the First Emperor down. Qin Xingfu undressed the First Emperor and stuck various electrodes on his body. Hei Yi felt a little offended. Soon, various machines started to work.
"Almost done. Tell the young master that starting tomorrow, he will handle all matters on behalf of His Majesty. On the other hand, Liu Bang and the others must hurry up to track him down."
Qin Xingfu wondered if he had forgotten something, so he thought about it for a moment and continued.
"The Xiang family of Jiangdong should also pay attention to this."
"Here! Your Majesty, are you going to put it in here?"
"Well, this is the safest place. We can find a substitute in the palace in case someone plots against your majesty."
"Here!"
Hei Yi disappeared quickly. Qin Xingfu looked at the old man in front of him and sat aside and said.
"Your Majesty! You made a wrong move. Perhaps you have become a little conceited because you have been in control of the situation over the years. Liu Bang now has my father's memories. He may create something more dangerous. It's a bit tricky. I hope I can find him and kill him as soon as possible!"
Qin Xingfu felt a little distressed. She knew that her father was reborn, but she found out in reality that he was not the person she remembered. She has always been protecting the Qin Empire, and she will not allow anyone to mess with it.
The electrocardiogram showed some fluctuations, so Qin Xingfu comforted him.
"It's okay. As long as nothing happens to you, he won't be able to grow up. Don't be too angry about the situation now. I won't let the Qin Dynasty get into chaos. Young Master has been handling it well these days."
The electrocardiogram finally returned to normal. Qin Xingfu tinkered with it and made a nutrient solution for the First Emperor.
"It's a little painful, but it will keep you healthy. You can't eat properly now, your body can't handle it."
As she spoke, she inserted the needle into the arm of the First Emperor and adjusted the speed for a while. She felt a little bored and missed the children and the men.
Qin Xingfu watched as the nutrient solution was finished being infused, thinking about how to improve the accuracy of the instrument, and then he stayed up all night again.
After the First Emperor finished the infusion, he began to urinate. Qin Xingfu felt that he still needed someone to serve him, as he was wasting his time here.
"Fu Yuan, come here!"
Fu Yuan hurried forward and bowed.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
“Are you trustworthy?”
Fu Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Sir, I am your butler, and I am definitely trustworthy. I am loyal to you."
Qin Xingfu nodded, thinking that it could be investigated further.
"Let me eat and rest first."
Fu Yuan hurriedly made arrangements, and just as Qin Xing finished eating, Fusu arrived.
"Huiyuan, I..."
Fusu felt a little flustered, and it seemed that he could only feel at ease when she was around.
"Just tell me what you want to say, sir."
"You said, can I?"
Qin Xingfu couldn't help but think about this question.
"Sir, what are you worried about?"
Fusu shook his head. He was always nervous. For so many years, his father had been training him, but he was also used to having his father behind him to take the direction. Now he felt a little confused.
Qin Xingfu held his forehead with his hand. He was used to relying on the First Emperor!
"Your Majesty is in a coma, there is no need to hide the news. Feng Quji, Ying Gu and others in the court all support you.
You must learn to make your own decisions now, and don't expect anyone to correct you. If you do something wrong, the ministers will advise you, and of course, I will tell you too.
You must think carefully about every move you make now. The fate of the empire depends on you. It is normal to feel pressure, but don't be too nervous. Just put yourself in His Majesty's position now, just as you did before.
Over the years, although His Majesty has not appointed you as the crown prince, he has always kept you by his side, and other princes are rarely in his eyes. I will always support you. No matter what, I will not stand on the wrong side for my own selfish reasons."
Fusu always felt that his position was not justified, he felt a little uncomfortable and worried that he would not be able to convince the people.
"Then...will Father wake up?"
"I think so! Find Liu Bang and kill him. If you can't kill him, then lock him up and don't let him grow up. Can Generals Meng Tian and Meng Yi be recalled?"
Fusu nodded. He asked Qile to send a message on the day she came back, asking Meng Tian and Meng Yi to bring the troops back. He also recalled Hu Hai, Ying Gao, Wang Li and Han Xin to garrison in the west. Qin Xingfu nodded in approval when he heard his arrangements.
"Sir, please be careful!"
Now she has no power at all, and her biggest role is to ensure that the First Emperor does not die of organ failure.
"Huiyuan, can you come back to the court and help me?"
He believed in her, and as long as the world saw that she was on his side, there would be fewer unstable factors.
"It will take some time. Your Majesty cannot leave someone here. I will teach Fu Yuan and take care of my health. I will feel more at ease if you let Dan Yao and the others come back."
Fusu pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"Then let them all come back. I'm afraid the Yilai family won't be able to do that."
"It's okay. Yilai is in the same situation as your Majesty, also unconscious. It's the same wherever you are."
Fusu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she really seemed to have no grudges.
"Thank you, Huiyuan!"
When he is justified, he will definitely clear her name.
"You're welcome! There will be a lot to do, so please take care of yourself."
They are not young anymore, and seem to be almost forty.
"Okay! I will, and you take care too."
Fusu said goodbye to her, returned to the palace, and sat in the position where the First Emperor once sat, with a gleam in his eyes. So this is what it feels like to be the supreme ruler.
On that day, a notice spread throughout the Qin Dynasty. First, it informed the Emperor that he had been murdered and fell into a coma, and that Fusu would temporarily take over all matters. Second, it ordered the hunt for Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and others. Third, it announced that Qin Xingfu would be reinstated in one month.
Most people didn’t have much emotion about the assassination of the First Emperor and his coma. They felt that those things were too far away and they just wanted to live their lives in peace and stability.
I don't know where the rumor came from, but it said that Qin Xingfu was also framed in Xiangjun before, and fell off a cliff and was not found until five or six days later, and almost lost his life.
In a teahouse, people were drinking tea and talking.
"You don't know, my seventh uncle's cousin said that his neighbor's aunt's distant relative was a sailor in Xiangjun. They went to look for him a few days ago, and there were all kinds of wild beasts and poisonous snakes under the cliff. He said that it was Lord Qin who climbed up from the bottom of the cliff. At that time, Lord Qin was covered in blood and was still alive. He fainted the moment he saw them!"
"Oh my God, I heard that too. Those people even poisoned you!"
"How despicable! We must catch those people!"
"Yes, I must vent my anger for you, my Lord."
"I also heard that before you returned to Xianyang, those people were determined to kill you, but you were so strong that they didn't succeed. You were injured in the neck."
"I know. When the master came back, his neck was still wrapped in gauze, and there was so much blood on it!"
"Damn it! Those people want us to die!"
With the popularization of knowledge in recent years, most people know how to distinguish right from wrong, and people's trust in Qin Xingfu is also increasing dramatically.
"Alas, my distant relative works in the palace. I heard from the maid who served Master that Master had scars of all sizes on his body. The maid was scared and cried, but Master comforted the maid and said he was fine."
A middle-aged man said this with tears in his eyes. Other people would feel pain for a long time after their feet were hit, and they would break their hands and feet after falling from a tree. They couldn't imagine the pain of falling off a cliff.
Many people were silent. They wanted to go see her, but the adults had been recuperating at home, so they didn't want to disturb them.
Many people secretly put up longevity tablets for her and prayed for her longevity three times a day. People at the bottom of society know best who truly treats them. They don’t know much, but they can now have enough food and warm clothes. These are the changes brought about by Qin Xingfu. Otherwise, they don’t know whether they can survive.
