The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

Chapter 314

After the lively New Year, Qin Xingfu worked harder after a few months of rest. Neither the First Emperor nor Fusu looked for her again. At first, many princesses and princes who were sent abroad were still actively sending her invitations, but later, when they saw that she seemed unwelcome, they stopped. Only Yingsha and Jianglu often visited her house with De Ning.

Qin Xingfu did not express his dislike and treated them normally. Qin En and Qin Ci liked Ying Sha's younger brothers and sisters very much. Their looks attracted them and they wished they could play together every day. Qin Xingfu did not object and allowed the children to get along peacefully.

Yue Xin and Ying Bu recuperated at home. After a few months, they both recovered.

Ying Bu still wanted to continue to go there to see the magical Sanxingdui. The Shudu Airport was working around the clock. It originally had two years left to complete, but with the concerted efforts of many people in Shu, it was completed early.

In March, Ying Bu and Yue Xin went to Shu again. Xu He had listened to them talking about the customs and culture of Shu for several months, and he was itching to go with them.

Qin Xingfu knew about it and followed their lead, but one day on the way home, he heard passers-by talking about it.

"I heard that the former Princess Huayang died of illness."

"Yes, yes! The former Prime Minister Feng and Prime Minister Li have been seriously ill for a long time."

Qin Xingfu raised her eyebrows. She hadn't even started yet, and the person was gone? To be honest, she seemed to have forgotten about it, which saved her from having to do it herself.

When Yue Xin and Ying Bu from Shu heard the news, they were deeply moved and wanted to go home to see her immediately. However, they were afraid of being seen and telling the First Emperor. Adults always said privately that the First Emperor was very tolerant of others but extremely narrow-minded towards her.

The two of them understood each other tacitly and bought some good wine that night to celebrate with each other.

The day after Qin Xingfu returned home, he was summoned by the First Emperor.

"I've met the Supreme Emperor!"

Qin Xingfu saluted with neither arrogance nor humility, and looked up to see that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"Ahem... No need to be polite, come and sit down!"

The First Emperor had a slight cough, and Qin Xingfu was not as concerned about him as before, which made him feel a little unhappy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qin Xingfu hasn't figured out a lot of things recently. In fact, she is not afraid of him at all now. She has been here for nearly twenty years and has enough capital.

I just feel a little sad. I have done so much, but in the end I can't guarantee the safety of my family. Is it just because he is of higher status than her?

When the First Emperor saw that her face was full of "I don't want to bother with you" and that if she had something to say, she should just say it, he didn't beat around the bush with her.

"Huayang is dead. I have so many children, but I didn't expect her to be the first to die."

This matter had nothing to do with her at all, and Qin Xingfu didn't feel guilty. She held her head high and looked at him.

"Your Majesty has too many of your own, and you have many children who died young."

Before she came, due to the lack of medical care and medicine, the child mortality rate was not high. The children of the First Emperor's own harem were only announced to the public and officially named when they were one year old. In other words, he had many children, and those who were named were all alive.

"Do you hate me?"

The First Emperor thought that he had been very good to her. He did not force a woman into the harem, but chose to let her shine outside, and personally promoted her to be the prime minister, second only to the emperor. This was already a great blessing from heaven.

"I don't care. Your Majesty, I will always remember your grace. I will just state the facts to Your Majesty again."

"Cough cough cough..."

When the First Emperor saw her like that, he knew that she still had resentment in her heart, but wasn’t it enough that all his children had died?

Qi Le quickly brought a bowl of medicine, and the First Emperor drank it all in one gulp, put down the pills and motioned for them to leave.

After everyone had gone down, the First Emperor looked out the window and spoke slowly.

"Huayang is very much like her mother. She doesn't know right from wrong very well. She is just jealous of you."

Qin Xingfu didn't care about his romantic affairs, but when she saw a trace of pain in his eyes, she couldn't help but become very interested in Princess Huayang's biological mother.

"You like her biological mother? Is she special? Then why did you marry her to an old man and ruin her life?"

As a political victim, Qin Xingfu felt a little sorry for her, but she was really confused. Sometimes she even wondered if she was mentally ill.

The First Emperor closed his eyes in some pain, and then his vision returned to normal.

"What do you mean by like? I just think she is special. Among all the women, she won't take the initiative to flatter and curry favor like others."

He thought she was special, and she was. However, in the end, she wanted to kill him, so he could not be merciful. He was probably just angry at the time. Huayang was implicated. The other children had a good ending, but he always felt guilty about her.

Qin Xingfu's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: Haha... men all like the kind of women who ignore them. The more proactive you are, the more cheap they think you are.

In response, Qin Xingfu said he had nothing to say and raised his teacup to drink water to ease the embarrassment.

"Qin Xingfu, after all these years in Daqin, do you want to go home?"

The First Emperor had no reason to ask her. Ever since he read the books she gave him, he had been worried about his future generations. He wanted to live longer, but he was also afraid of death. The world was good now, and compared to his past, he knew everything in heaven and on earth, and he was reluctant to leave.

This was the first time someone asked her if she wanted to go home. Qin Xingfu almost couldn't control her emotions for a moment. She took a deep breath and said to him.

"If I have a chance, I still want to go home. I disappeared inexplicably. I miss my friends, teachers and classmates."

That was where she grew up, and now it is the place she yearns for.

"What about everything here? Are you willing to give it up?"

Is it really that good to go back and be an ordinary person? Is there really anyone who doesn't like power, which is such a good thing?

Qin Xingfu thought about it and found it difficult to make a decision.

"Those are all hypotheticals. I can't go back, but if there is a chance, I still want to go home. They belong here, but I don't."

A trace of bitterness rose in the Emperor's heart.

"Is this Daqin really that bad?"

He fulfilled the long-cherished wish of successive Qin kings, which was the proudest thing in his life. But suddenly someone came and said that this was nothing. In comparison, his success seemed insignificant.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the Great Qin is bad, I'm just telling you this. Let me make a hypothesis. If you were suddenly transported to the Shang or Zhou Dynasty one day, would you be able to accept it? The Shang Dynasty doesn't want you to be as open-minded as you are. They often sacrifice living people. If you were to go there, you might be eaten by others."

If you put yourself in her shoes, she was relatively lucky. At least the people of the Qin Dynasty where she lived did not eat humans. The First Emperor even issued a special order prohibiting the use of living people for sacrifice. Even his own mausoleum was made of pottery figures instead.

The First Emperor really thought about it carefully. As far as the archaeological artifacts found today are concerned, the Shang Dynasty is really unacceptable. He has eaten all the refined grains and white flour, and now it is simply difficult for him to eat the old food again! Not to mention the Shang Dynasty.
