The chirping of birds came from outside the window,
He felt the misty light in front of him,
Qin Song knew that it was daybreak,
He also woke up, but he was too lazy to move or open his eyes.
Last night,
He had a terrible sleep.
These days, although he often got drunk, he was always in a state of drunkenness, but not drunkenness,
He might not be able to stand steadily and see clearly,
But his mind was clear,
But this time, he was really drunk. So be it,
Have a good sleep,
A big dream would be over. But for some reason,
When he was completely drunk,
There seemed to be another "Qin Song" in his body,
He groaned for half the night.
How annoying!
Pain, pain, pain... What are you screaming for! Isn't it still painful after screaming for an entire night? What's the use!
Fortunately, when he woke up a little, his mind immediately regained its clarity. Otherwise, he would really have a headache.
Was he really a lonely ghost who had forcefully occupied someone else's body? But he was clearly Qin Song. He remembered everything from childhood to adulthood clearly... Besides, if he wasn't Qin Song, who else could he be?
Qin Song didn't want to think too deeply,
She stretched herself comfortably.
He opened his curled up body,
He was about to sleep again when he was woken up by the clanging sound of chains. Damn it, this sound was too familiar!
His sleepiness suddenly flew away. His last memory... seemed to be of him cutting Ying Zheng's neck with a sword? So he was locked up again?
Qin Song suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He found that he was still on his comfortable bed. He looked at the extra decorations on his hands and feet, then looked at Han Pu and Yu Sheng, who were guarding the bed with surprised faces. He was stunned for a moment, then he waved his hand and said with a smile, "Han Pu, come here."
Han Pu subconsciously took a step back and said warily, "What?"
Qin Song saw that he didn't fall for it, so he snorted coldly and gritted his teeth. "Come here... I promise I won't beat you to death!"
Han Pu laughed and said, "You're not drinking right now, so you don't have the ability to kill me!"
Although he said that, he still came over and even gave her a feather duster. "Why don't you whip me a few times to vent your anger?" He was also regretting it now. He just wanted to make a joke and watch the show. Who knew that he would cause such a big mess? If beating himself up was useful, he would have beaten himself half to death long ago.
Qin Song was so angry that he was speechless. He threw the feather duster at his face and shook his wrist. The gray iron chain made a crisp sound. Qin Song said angrily, "What's going on now?"
Han Pu coughed dryly and said, "The King Of Qin has ordered that before you can cultivate your inner strength with the Eternal Spring Formula, you are not allowed to touch wine, swords, or even take a step out of the hostage residence."
Qin Song's expression turned cold. He said indifferently, "Doesn't he think he's meddling too much?" If it was only the latter, with his actions of almost killing Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng would only lock him up, which could be considered merciful. But with the addition of the Eternal Spring Formula, what was the point? It was infuriating.
Han Pu, who was used to not giving up any opportunity to belittle Ying Zheng, didn't agree with him this time. Instead, he said, "Qin Yi took your pulse and said that you're in that state at the cost of your lifespan. Your body is already full of holes, and after the fight, your internal injuries have worsened. If this happens a few more times, you'll lose your life. Even if you don't move, you won't have many years to live. Only the Eternal Spring Formula can save your life. "
Qin Song didn't comment. Han Pu coughed dryly and continued, "The King Of Qin handed the matter of treating you to Qin Yi. Qin Yi took out this thing and said that it was his sect's most valuable treasure and that he would lend it to you for the time being …"
Lend it to him for the time being … Qin Song was both angry and amused. "Don't tell me that wearing it will cleanse my meridians and make my martial arts progress by leaps and bounds …"
"That's not it," Han Pu said honestly. "Qin Yi said that if you were obedient, then you wouldn't be called Qin Song. Wearing this won't affect your movements, but you won't be able to kick or wield a sword. It also won't be convenient for you to sneak out to look for wine. You can only focus on practicing martial arts … This thing is made of meteoric iron and is extremely hard. I've tried it. Even if Qing Feng was still here, she probably wouldn't be able to cut it open. The only key is with Qin Yi. He said that when you succeed in practicing the Eternal Spring Formula and your internal injuries get better, he will help you open it. He said that this meteoric iron was obtained by his master's master by chance. He wanted to forge it into a treasured sword, but he didn't expect that it wouldn't take shape. In the end, he didn't know what he was thinking and made this thing. Qin Yi said that when he finishes his task, he wouldn't be willing to let you keep this thing even if you wanted to! "
"Qin Yi said it, Qin Yi said it." Qin Song narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "Don't you think that what he said makes a lot of sense?"
"How can I believe his words?" Han Pu muttered. "That fellow even insisted that Ying Zheng kill you! But what can he do? In this world, his medical skills are the best … "
Qin Song interrupted him. "Then do you know that I hate it the most when people act on their own when it comes to my matters?"
Han Pu lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Yu Sheng explained, "You were unconscious for five days, and your condition was very … bad. Qin Yi refused to treat you. He said that you didn't listen to his instructions and ended up in this state. Even if he woke you up now, you still wouldn't listen to him. According to the rules of his sect, he doesn't save stubborn people. Even when the King Of Qin gave him an order, he didn't give in. In the end, the King Of Qin got angry, so he reluctantly took this out. He said that this way, you would have no choice but to listen to him and practice. He personally put it on for you before prescribing the medicine … "
Qin Song looked at Han Pu, then looked at Yu Sheng. In the end, he concluded, "Two pigs."
Han Pu choked, while Yu Sheng pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
Qin Song said, "Tell someone to prepare hot water. I'll take a bath and change my clothes first."
Yu Sheng turned around and left. Han Pu said, "Why are you taking a bath? Eat something first! When you moved earlier, we already sent someone to get the porridge. It should be here soon. "
Qin Song couldn't be bothered with him and got up from the bed. The bracelets and anklets on his body were two feet long. They didn't hinder him when he walked or sat down, but they were very heavy. The iron bracelets on his wrists and ankles weren't too tight either. Thinner clothes could be stuffed in bit by bit before he wore them … Forget it, he'll just wear them like this for now. He almost slit Ying Zheng's throat, so he had to pay a price, right?
Han Pu saw that he was struggling to walk and felt bad. He said, "Bear with it for two days. When he sends the Eternal Spring Formula over, I'll steal the key for you. Even if I can't steal it, I'll beat him up and snatch it!"
Qin Song was slightly stunned. He said, "The Eternal Spring Formula hasn't been sent over yet?"
Han Pu said, "I heard from his conversation with Ying Zheng that Ying Zheng previously asked him to find a way to send the Eternal Spring Formula to you. But you've been back for more than ten days, and you don't seem to have any intention of looking for it. The person he entrusted it to doesn't have a chance … We have to get it back from that person first."
Qin Song didn't express his opinion. He went into the side room to take a bath and change his clothes. He cleaned himself up thoroughly and started eating his late breakfast.
Before he finished eating, Han Pu rushed in excitedly. He said, "Qin Yi knows that you're awake, so he ordered someone to send the Eternal Spring Formula over! He said that no medicine will work for your illness. He already prescribed the painkillers in your room. You can take them as you see fit. He won't be coming over. "
Qin Song took the booklet that was exactly the same as the last time. He flipped to the first page and looked at it. This booklet looked quite old. The paper was yellowed, and the ink was peeling off. He smiled and said, "This thing is quite similar."
He closed the booklet and lowered his head to eat his porridge.
Han Pu and Yu Sheng's expressions changed. Han Pu cried out, "You're saying that this is fake?"
Qin Song calmly swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said, "Of course it's fake."
Han Pu snatched the booklet and flipped through it. He looked a little flustered and spoke incoherently, "How can it be fake? Could you have seen wrongly? We didn't ask him for it. Why would he send a fake one over? It doesn't look fake. How is it fake? "
Han Pu flipped through the booklet page by page, trying hard to find evidence that it was real or fake.
Qin Song finished his breakfast and saw that Han Pu and Yu Sheng were still studying it together. He said, "Alright, stop messing around. I can't see where it's fake. The two of you can barely recognize a few words. What can you see?"
Han Pu put down the booklet and said, "Then how do you know it's fake?"
Qin Song glanced at him and said, "You've met Qin Yi before. Is he someone who adheres to the rules? If he really adheres to the rules, he should have insisted on not treating me regardless of whether I wear the shackles or not. But now? "
Seeing that the two of them were still at a loss, Qin Song sighed and said, "Even if you don't understand him, you should understand me. If I don't want to practice the Eternal Spring Mantra, what's the use of him giving me ten chains? If I'm willing to practice it, why would I need these things? "
"So, these chains …."
"Therefore, this iron chain is definitely not for the sake of making me obediently cooperate with the cultivation to heal my injuries. This thing, as Qin Yi said, wearing it, you can't kick your legs, you can't dance like a sword, but the most important thing is that it's heavy, three points heavier than the general chain. " Qin Song said, "I practice sword dancing all year round. My body's flexibility and reaction speed are not inferior to those who practice martial arts. The only thing I lack is strength …. Even if I'm drunk, my swordsmanship is only good, but my strength doesn't increase. With these chains, I can't wield any sword. Naturally, I can't fight with anyone."
Han Pu digested his words for a while before saying, "Even if what you said makes sense, this has nothing to do with the Eternal Spring Mantra. Qin Yi is loyal to Ying Zheng. He's afraid that you'll hurt Ying Zheng again, so it's normal for him to coax you to wear these chains, right? "
Qin Song gave him a look as if he expected better from Wu Qi, sighed and said, "Since this iron chain was put on me by him to prevent me from harming Ying Zheng again, why did he keep emphasizing that only the Eternal Spring Incantation can cure my illness, and that as long as I practice the Eternal Spring Incantation well, he will untie the iron chain for me? You said it yourself. He's been insisting that the King Of Qin kill me. If I don't listen to the doctor's advice and die early, wouldn't that be exactly what he wants? "
Han Pu finally reacted. He gritted his teeth and said, "So …."
Qin Song said, "So, my injuries aren't as serious as he said. He's just trying to scare me. If I really practice this Eternal Spring Mantra, it'll be really bad."
Han Pu suddenly stood up and turned to leave.
Qin Song shouted, "Han Pu, what are you doing?"
Han Pu gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to kill Qin Yi and bring back the key and the real Eternal Spring Mantra!"
He then looked at Yu Sheng and said, "Are you going?"
Yu Sheng stood up without saying a word and walked to his side.
Qin Song shook his head and said, "There's no need to trouble yourself. This thing is good stuff. It's good to wear it for a few days to increase my strength. I can't bear to return it to him. Let's talk about it later! As for the Eternal Spring Mantra, what's the point of looking for it? I'm not going to practice it anyway. "
Han Pu anxiously said, "Without the Eternal Spring Mantra, what will happen to your body?"
Qin Song said, "Did you forget what I said again? You still remember Qin Yi's nonsense. "
His body definitely wouldn't worsen because he practiced swordsmanship or did anything else. It definitely wouldn't get better just because he took care of his body … Han Pu went forward and pressed his pulse. Although it was still broken, compared to last time, it didn't worsen. In fact, it even improved a little. He was both happy and angry. "Damn Qin Yi. One day, I'll kill him!"
Qin Song smiled and said, "I actually admire him a lot. That person usually smiles and smiles with everyone, as if they're his brothers. When it's time to act, he doesn't hesitate. He clearly distinguishes between friend and foe. If you want to deal with him, you'll have the chance in the future. Now is not the time to complicate matters. "
The most important thing now was to return to Chu. Everything else could be put aside for now.
Yu Sheng suddenly said, "I'm going out for a while."
Without waiting for a reply, he quickly left.
After he left, Qin Song asked, "Is there any progress on the thing I asked you to do?"
Han Pu said, "How can I be in the mood to care about other things when you're like this?"
He added, "Actually, I secretly went to the post house before, but I didn't find anything special. The one who gave the orders was the head envoy. I didn't see anyone else. Well, I'll go check it out again tonight! "
Qin Song said, "There's only half a month left until the King Of Qin's wedding. I'm afraid the people of Qi are very nervous now. Don't force yourself too much. If I'm not wrong, that person will definitely appear at the wedding banquet. I'll look for him then. "
Han Pu agreed. Just as he was about to say something, the two of them were stunned. They turned their heads and saw the half-closed door of the courtyard being pushed open. A beautiful girl rushed in with two old maids and two bodyguards. "You're Qin Song?"
Two women stumbled in behind them and said in fear and trepidation, "Young master, please forgive us. We couldn't stop them …"
Qin Song shook his head to indicate that it was fine. He waved his hand and dismissed them. He turned his head and asked, "Who are you?"
The girl raised her chin and snorted. "I'm Yue 'er, the Princess's maid. The Princess wants me to tell you something."
The Princess? Oh, right. The Princess Chu who was going to marry Ying Zheng in half a month.
Qin Song nodded. "Go ahead."
Yue 'er saw that Qin Song didn't have any fear on his face. Anger immediately appeared in her eyes, but she forced herself to suppress it. "The Princess wants me to tell you to be careful in everything you do. Don't forget your purpose in coming to Qin. His Majesty the King Of Qin is willing to play with you when he's in a good mood, but it doesn't mean that he'll always be patient. If one day you really make His Majesty unhappy, even the Princess as the Queen won't be able to protect you! You're on your own! "
Qin Song nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, Princess."
Seeing that his reaction was too uninteresting, Han Pu glanced at him and laughed. "Ha, Qin Song. Speaking of which, I really don't know what other purpose you have in coming to Qin. Weren't you sent here to accompany the Second Prince as a hostage? "
Qin Song glanced at him and said indifferently, "The Princess has spoken, so I should just agree. Why are you so talkative?"
"I'm just curious!" Han Pu giggled. "We all know that the King Of Chu sent a prince and a princess to amuse the King Of Qin, but we really didn't know that he sent you …"
"Han Pu!" Qin Song interrupted. "If you don't speak, you'll suffocate to death!"
Han Pu knew that his words insulted Yi An and made Qin Song unhappy, so he chuckled and didn't say anything else. Qin Song turned to Yue 'e, who was so angry that her face turned pale. "Miss, I've already delivered your message. Is there anything else?"
Yue 'e's chest heaved up and down violently. She glared at the two of them and gritted her teeth. "Let's go!"
She turned around and left with her people.
After taking a few steps, she turned around and saw that Qin Song and Han Pu were still sitting there without moving. They didn't have any intention of getting up to see them off. She couldn't help but become even angrier. After she left the courtyard, she sneered. "He's just a plaything who came here to amuse himself. Let's see how long he can be arrogant for! The King Of Qin will be getting married in half a month. When the time comes, it's time to clean up some things! "
Han Pu and Qin Song both had top-notch hearing. How could they not hear what she said? Moreover, her intention was for them to hear it.
Han Pu clicked his tongue and said, "The Southern Chu girls are really open-minded. At this time, they're still in the mood to fight over a man's affection!"
Qin Song shrugged and said, "There's love even in the apocalypse. Let alone now. Why do you have to be so serious with a few girls? "
He sighed again. "Those high-ranking officials and nobles in the Southern Chu have long since rotted to the roots …" He didn't know where his thoughts had flown to.
*****
"Marriage is a lifetime event." In the palace, Ying Zheng's face darkened as he listened to the wet nurse's nagging. "His Majesty can have many women by his side, but there will always be only one wife. That's the person who stands by His Majesty's side and supports him. She's different from those women who crawl under His Majesty …"
"No matter what the Queen's previous identity was, once she gets married, she'll only be His Majesty's wife. She'll be related to His Majesty's happiness and sorrow, honor and disgrace …"
"Wet nurse!"
Suddenly interrupted impatiently, the wet nurse was startled. Although she had some dignity in front of Ying Zheng, she didn't dare to face Ying Zheng's anger directly. The affection on her face almost immediately turned into fear. "Your, Your Majesty …"
Ying Zheng said coldly, "How much did she give you?"
"No, no!" The wet nurse's face showed fear. She said, "It's because I really want to have someone by Your Majesty's side who can …"
"Enough!"
The wet nurse was startled and hurriedly shut her mouth.
Ying Zheng said coldly, "Leave!"
The wet nurse hugged Ying Zheng's wedding clothes, which he didn't even look at, let alone try on. She trembled and retreated. She regretted being moved by the small white jade Guanyin statue.
Looking at the bedroom that had been unknowingly decorated with a somewhat festive atmosphere, Ying Zheng only felt that his chest was very tight, as if there was something blocking it, making it hard for him to breathe.
Previously, he had never taken this marriage to heart. It was just for the sake of politics, to have one more woman in the harem! But now, the closer it was to the wedding date, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Stand side by side with him and support each other?
Ying Zheng laughed coldly. Was she worthy?
His face was gloomy all the way to the front of the hall, as if it could drip water at any time. It made the officials who came to deal with him nervous, afraid that they would accidentally provoke him to explode.
Ying Zheng listened to them complain about where they needed to spend money.
Where they needed to send troops, where someone raised the banner of resisting Qin in the name of a certain prince … He felt more and more irritated.
Suddenly, he saw the eunuch by the door making a gesture to the people outside, meaning to let the people outside wait first. He really didn't have the patience to listen to this, so he said coldly, "Come in!"
The eunuch outside the door came in. Ying Zheng said, "Speak."
The eunuch lowered his head and reported, "The people from the hostage residence just came and said that after Qin Song Gongzi woke up, he didn't have much of a reaction. After bathing, changing clothes, and eating, he didn't do anything different than usual. He didn't drink or practice his sword. Lord Qin already sent someone to deliver the Eternal Spring Formula, but they didn't see Qin Song Gongzi start practicing it. In addition, Princess Chu sent someone to see the young master. After saying a few words, she angrily left. Before she left, she said some unpleasant things … "
Before he finished, Ying Zheng's face was completely gloomy. He said in a low voice, almost as if he was gritting his teeth, "Tell Ambassador Chu that the marriage is canceled … I don't need a queen who doesn't know when to back down."
Unpleasant things … He didn't need to ask to know what unpleasant things it would be.
What kind of thing dared to do that to that person …
"Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng suddenly came back to his senses and found that there was a group of people kneeling in front of him.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this!"
"Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, you must keep your word. You can't go back on your words!"
"Your Majesty, this matter involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries. You can't be willful! If Chu Chu is frightened and joins forces with Da Qi to attack us, it will be a disaster! "
"Your Majesty, you must reconsider!"
"…"
You can't do this! You can't do this! You can't do this! Ying Zheng could only hear these words in his ears. You can't do this! You can't do this!
"Shut up!"
Following Ying Zheng's angry roar, there was a loud clang. The dragon table was split in half, and the things on it fell to the ground.
Everyone looked up in shock and saw Ying Zheng standing in front of the dragon throne with his sword in hand. His chest was heaving violently, and he squeezed out the word "scram" from between his teeth.
