Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 128 Chunyu Yue is cut in half at the waist!
That night.

Zhao Gao then obtained evidence that Changwen Jun and Mi Ling had used the matter of artemisinin to flatter and kill Xu Lin.

Upon seeing the 'confessions' of the steward and maids of Changwenjun's residence, Ying Zheng was enraged.

First, they flattered Xu Lin to death, then corrupted Fusu. Do Changwenjun Xiong Li and Mi Ling really think that I dare not kill them?

"You personally lead men to kill Chunyu Yue."

"Then bring Xiong Li and Mi Ling here!"

Ying Zheng's gaze was as cold as a sword.

"promise!"

Zhao Gao immediately accepted the order.

Then he led his men to the residence of Changwenjun.

"Kings."

"Mi Ling is Empress Dowager Huayang's younger brother, isn't that...?"

After Zhao Gao walked away, Gai Nie spoke.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng.

"Need not!"

Ying Zheng immediately refused.

He did give Mi Ling a chance!

The Qin Dynasty is founded on law; how could it forgive Mi Ling again and again?
……

the other side.

Xianyang, the residence of Lord Changwen.

Changwen Jun, Chunyu Yue, and Mi Ling were drinking in the study.

Mi Ling kept pouring wine for Chunyu Yue, asking him if he had any way to get Ying Zheng to make Fusu the crown prince.

Seeing Mi Ling's almost pleading expression, Chunyu Yue nodded in agreement, stroked his beard, and fell into deep thought.

Fusu is the eldest son of the legitimate wife, and the proper rites cannot be disregarded; perhaps this approach is appropriate...

Thinking of this, Chunyu Yue smiled.

"Sir, do you have a solution?"

Mi Ling was overjoyed at the sight.

Then he had someone bring over the fine wine that he had treasured for over a decade.

"Sir, please speak!"

Changwenjun said.

After he finished speaking, he adopted a posture of listening attentively.

"Actually, this is not difficult."

"Fusu is the eldest son; it is inappropriate to observe proper etiquette..."

Chunyu Yue said with a light laugh.

He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

It was not Mi Ling or Chang Wenjun who interrupted him, but Zhao Gao.

boom!
Zhao Gao blasted the wooden door open with a single palm strike.

"You are Chunyu Yue?"

Zhao Gao looked at Chunyu Yue, who was all smiles, and questioned him in a cold voice.

"Yes."

"Who are you?"

Chunyu Yue nodded, looking calm.

He was invited by Lord Changwen and is now the tutor of the eldest son, Fusu. Who would dare to touch him easily?
"It doesn't matter who I am."

"The important thing is that you broke the law, and according to the law, you should be executed!"

Zhao Gao smiled coldly.

After speaking, he winked at the assassins from the Luo Wang organization behind him.

After receiving a signal, the assassins quickly stepped forward and dragged Chunyu Yue away.

Changwenjun and Miling wanted to stop them, but they didn't dare.

Zhao Gao was a sharp sword in Ying Zheng's hands. His sudden arrival must have been on Ying Zheng's orders!
"Eunuch Zhao."

"What crime has Mr. Chunyu committed?"

When Changwenjun saw that Zhao Gao wanted to kill Chunyu Yue, he dared to ask.

"You don't know?"

Zhao Gao retorted coldly.

Then he raised his hand and pointed to Fusu's residence.

After more than ten breaths, Zhao Gao, in front of everyone, personally killed Chunyu Yue with his own blood.

Chang Wenjun and Mi Ling were sprayed with blood.

Upon witnessing this scene, the guards nearby immediately ran to Mi Yu's residence.

……

After half a stick of incense.

The guards arrived at Mi Yu's residence and told her that Chunyu Yue had been killed and that Changwen Jun and Mi Ling were in mortal danger.

Mi Yu was shocked after hearing this.

How could this be?

After a moment of contemplation, she went to Fusu's room.

After learning that Fusu had told Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng about Chunyu Yue's advice that granting fiefdoms was inferior to granting prefectures and counties, Mi Yu suddenly realized the truth.

Then we took a car to Huayang Palace.

She was merely a lady, not a queen. The only one who could save Changwenjun and Miling now was Empress Dowager Huayang. Before long, a panicked Miyu met Empress Dowager Huayang.

"What happened?"

Seeing Mi Yu's flustered expression, Empress Dowager Huayang asked in confusion.

"Great-aunt".

"Something happened!"

Mi Yu said urgently.

After speaking, she dismissed her attendants, stepped forward, and told Empress Dowager Huayang about how Chunyu Yue had instructed Fusu to be enfeoffed with a county instead of a prefecture, which led to his death, and that Zhao Gao was currently in Changwenjun's residence, seemingly planning to take action against Changwenjun and Mi Ling.

"Great-aunt".

"Won't my great-uncle and Changwenjun be killed because of this?"

"When I arrived, I heard that the king was very angry about this."

Mi Yu asked.

"Hard to say."

Are you aware of the plot to "praise Xu Lin to death"?

The Queen Mother Huayang said.

If this matter were only related to Fusu, it might still be salvageable, but it is most likely related to the fact that it was used to flatter Xu Lin to his detriment!

"To praise Xu Lin to death?"

"Auntie, are you referring to the fact that after Xu Lin advised the six states of Shandong to share the method for extracting artemisinin, the news spread very quickly?"

Mi Yu frowned.

"Correct."

"Are Mi Ling and Xiong Li the masterminds behind this?"

Empress Dowager Huayang nodded.

"Seems to be."

Mi Yu nodded slightly.

"madness!"

"Extremely stupid!"

Empress Dowager Huayang was furious upon hearing this.

A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be felled by the wind, but Xu Lin is just an ordinary tree.
"Great-aunt".

"Your great-uncle is your own brother; the only one who can save her now is..."

Mi Yu said.

She was interrupted by Empress Dowager Huayang before she could finish her sentence.

"I have no brother like him!"

"Incompetent bungler!"

Empress Dowager Huayang's phoenix eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Great-aunt".

“I remember you said before that a fragrant pillow can sometimes have a miraculous effect.”

"How about I go to the King's palace tonight, and stay with the King..."

Mi Yu asked while thinking.

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted again by Empress Dowager Huayang.

"madness!"

"The Qin Dynasty is founded on law, yet they flattered and killed the king's confidant, deliberately corrupting the eldest prince. This time, no one can save them!"

Queen Mother Huayang scolded.

She had long guessed that Mi Ling would have such a day, but she didn't expect it to come so soon!
Although Empress Dowager Huayang was a woman, she was quick-witted and always remained rational.

In her view, things had come to this point, and the only option was to "sacrifice the pawn to save the king"!
"It's a foregone conclusion that Mi Ling and Xiong Li will be killed."

"If you plead for them, not only will you not be able to save them from death, but you may also anger the king and he will never summon you to the palace to serve him again."

"Although His Majesty is not as lustful as Xu Lin, he is not lacking in women. Women all over the world want to marry His Majesty, like fish crossing a river!"

"Therefore, tonight you not only cannot plead for Mi Ling and Xiong Li, but you must also agree with the king's words and say that the king has done a good job in putting righteousness before family!"

"Only in this way can you avoid being implicated in this matter."

Empress Dowager Huayang solemnly instructed.

"But……"

Mi Yu looked unwilling.

She didn't want to say something against her conscience. Mi Ling and Xiong Li had always treated her well, and she wanted to save them.

"Nothing but!"

"You will be a queen, an empress dowager, in the future!"

"If you want this to never happen again, you have to climb higher and win the king's heart at all costs. Only in this way can you protect the people you want to protect!"

Empress Dowager Huayang said sternly.

Upon hearing this, Mi Yu hesitated to speak.

She's not the kind of person Empress Dowager Huayang. She can't be as ruthless as Empress Dowager Huayang!

It's not possible right now!
"You may stay here with me for the next few days."

"If I don't teach you properly, you'll end up like Mi Ling sooner or later!"

Empress Dowager Huayang was annoyed to see that Mi Yu still wanted to save Mi Ling and Xiong Li.

Why didn't you report to me sooner that Chunyu Yue was Fusu's teacher?

After more than ten breaths, Empress Dowager Huayang asked.
