Chapter 129 Section 4 Second Witness

Everyone raised their eyes and looked towards the gate of the palace.But it was only a thin old woman who was brought up.Yi can no longer see her eyes, her thin white hair is tied in a small bun behind her head, like a poor mouse's tail.Yi is so weak and old that even with a cane, she needs two people to support her when she walks. Zhao Ji exclaimed, "Ms. Liu?" The Empress Dowager Huayang asked, "Who is this woman?" Zhao Ji said: "That day in Handan, when my concubine gave birth to the king, it was this woman who delivered the baby. Fortunately, this woman was there so that my mother and child could be preserved." She went to hold Liu's hand and asked, "Is it still Remember me? I'm Zhao Ji."

The old woman was obviously confused, "Zhao Ji? I'm... seventy-nine... Are you... the concubine?" Although Zhao Ji's heart was heavy, she smiled when she heard the words, and said, "I'm returning to the princess. I'm the Queen Mother of Qin now. It's been more than twenty years, and I don't want you to still be alive." Zhao Ji smiled, but Lu Buwei felt ashamed. Knives.Her smile is still so beautiful and exaggerated, so heartless. Aunt Liu said: "... Seventy-nine, enough life..." Empress Dowager Huayang said: "Li Si, is this your so-called witness?"

"yes." "Seventy-nine, what kind of words! Forget it, let him talk about it." Li Si then leaned close to Miss Liu's ear and said loudly: "Old man, do you still remember the matter of delivering the prince's concubine back then?" Ms. Liu said: "... I remember... the first month, heavy snow, lightning and thunder... The room was filled with red light, birds were flying, and a lot of blood was shed...Scholarly people say that when a nobleman comes into the world, God will Induction, there must be a strange omen... It is said that Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang were born in the same way... I am seventy-nine, and I have forgotten everything that should be forgotten, but I remember the baby... Just grow a little longer like this, Crying louder than adults, it's okay when I grow up... There is a lot of blood on my body, and I can't wipe it off... Fortunately, both mother and child are saved, and it will be hard to say if it is later... Such a spirited baby, I am seventy-nine, and I have never seen it again... Zhengyue, good man... The old woman has never received so many rewards... The baby is saved, the old woman has accumulated evil virtues... Seventy-nine..."

Ms. Liu's words were fragmented and tossed and turned, but she still revealed the most crucial piece of information: Ying Zheng was born in the first month of the lunar year, that is, eleven months after Zhao Ji followed the stranger.Based on this calculation, Ying Zheng is undoubtedly the biological son of a foreigner. Ms. Liu said to herself: "...I still keep... the swaddle that wrapped the baby... What a good cloth, it's a pity to throw it away... When the baby grows up and becomes a king, how happy I am to see it again ..." Ms. Liu took out a piece of folded cloth from her bosom.Li Si took it and handed it over to Ying Zheng.Yingzheng unfolded, but saw that the cloth was about two feet square, and the corners of the cloth were embroidered with the names of other people, and the traces of the past were still preserved on the cloth, and the shape of a baby could be vaguely distinguished, with the outline of the body, head, arms, legs and so on. exist.Ying Zheng looked at the baby in ecstasy. Twenty-one years ago, he had been lying in this small piece of cloth. This was the first thing he owned in the world that belonged to him.

Aunt Liu was still in a daze and said: "... I don't know what's going on with that baby... seventy-nine, and blind..." Ying Zheng approached Miss Liu, his lips trembled, and he said bitterly, "I am that child." Aunt Liu looked pleasantly surprised, but also a little desolate, and slowly raised her hand, groping in the air.Ying Zheng grabbed her hand and placed it on his face.A rough and ugly old woman like Ms. Liu is usually avoided by Ying Zheng.He is the supreme king of Qin, to bully him within three feet without permission is already a capital crime of disrespect.But now, he indulged Liu Yu's rough and stiff hands to caress his face recklessly, and his eyes were filled with tears of emotion.Yes, facing such a woman, it is she who brought you into this world with both hands, gave you the first hug and the first smile, no matter how noble and proud you are, no matter how old and ugly she is, Can you hold her back?

Ying Zheng knelt down in front of Zhao Ji again.Only now did he know that despite all kinds of things, his mother gave birth to him after all, and even almost died because of him.Zhao Ji held Yingzheng in her arms, mother and son embraced each other and wept.Their estranged relationship was drawn closer and closer again in tears. The appearance of Ms. Liu made the most staunch skeptics in the clan begin to waver.Perhaps, the drama starring Liu Yu was too deliberate, but it was unexpected, touching enough, and most importantly, more convincing than Yao Shi. The Empress Dowager Huayang was still hard-hearted, and said: "Your Majesty has Mrs. Liu, and the old woman has the Yao family. It is hard to say which one is true and which is false."

Ying Zheng raised his head, not knowing whether it was from crying or anger, his eyes were already red, and he was about to have a seizure.Li Si hurriedly stopped with his eyes, and said first: "If the Empress Dowager still has doubts, I am willing to present witnesses again." The Empress Dowager Huayang snorted coldly and said, "Okay, let's pass it on."
