Chapter 7: The First Move
Inside the magnificent Qinzheng Hall, the father and son had a long conversation in a solemn and deep atmosphere.
At the same time, Su Jinyue was still in the breeding house, carefully supervising the palace servants castrating the piglets.
From time to time, the shrill screams of piglets could be heard in the air. The sound penetrated the thick palace walls, spread far away, and echoed in the winding palace corridors.
The rumors about whether the third princess was a god or a demon, accompanied by the screams of pigs, drifted farther and farther, passed through the palace walls, flowed into the shops, and penetrated into the exquisite courtyards with three or four entrances.
In a dilapidated courtyard, an old man with white hair and dressed in a dark robe walked hurriedly into the main room.
"Why is it in such a hurry?"
The main room is spacious and bright, with exquisite furnishings and fine utensils, without any trace of the bleak exterior walls.
An old man with straight black hair and a long beard stroking his hand was sitting in front of a newly purchased table and chair, carving words with a knife.
He looked up at Zhou Shu, who was rushing towards him, put down his carving knife gently, and asked in a gentle voice, "Why are you so panicked?"
"Brother Xuanming, have you heard those rumors?" Zhou Shu sat directly on the chair below the old man and asked anxiously.
"Are you talking about the rumors about the third princess?"
"That's right, Brother Xuanming. What do you think Ying Zheng is up to? Rumors are spreading like wildfire, yet he's letting them go without any censorship."
The old man reached out and carefully supported the table, then looked up at the sky. "The will of heaven is unpredictable, the situation is ever-changing. The first move has been made, and the strong hand is ready. It is best for you and me to wait and see. Tell Shaotong and the others that the world will change drastically, so stick to your own position."
Outside the palace, the situation was turbulent and there were unusual movements on all sides.
Inside the palace, Su Jinyue was still enjoying a peaceful life. Ge You lay on the soft carpet in Yuehua Palace, leisurely directing the ladies to sew cushions. "Yes, it's just this big. You can put some stuffing in it. Put more in, fill it up. Right, smart!"
Only in the pig farm did the world of hurt pigs come to light. The piglets howled continuously and competed to pass on secret codes.
"That woman is a devil, don't let her come over!"
As the night fell and the stars dimmed, Su Jinyue folded her arms across her chest, feeling a sense of security she had never experienced in the past twenty years, and slowly fell asleep.
In the emperor's bedroom, Ying Zheng was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, still diligently handling state affairs. He put down the carving knife in his hand and drank the medicine in the cup in one gulp.
The dim light flickered, illuminating the king's tired face and stirring his inner anxiety and urgency.
"Report, Lady Dan wants to see you."
"pass."
Upon hearing the summons, Lady Dan bowed and walked into the hall, respectfully saluted Ying Zheng, and said in a clear and restrained voice: "Lady Dan, I bow to your majesty."
The plain colored curved skirt on her body did not highlight her feminine beauty, but instead outlined her slender, lean and capable military style.
"how?"
Shi Nudan still maintained her saluting posture, motionless, and replied in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, after returning to the palace today, the Third Princess first discussed the salt drying plan with the Minister of Justice Yan, then discussed her concerns with Prince Fusu. Afterwards, the two of them went to the animal farm to watch the palace maids slaughter pigs. Also, today, the Third Princess will have half a dou of rice wine, called "mei," and a bowl of mutton, called "sao." She will have a snack at twilight and go to sleep at midnight. Before bed, she will teach the ladies how to sew cushions."
Ying Zheng lowered his eyes, listening carefully to the lady's report, and asked loudly, "How did the Third Princess and Fusu resolve their doubts? Tell me in detail."
"Yes." Then, Shi Nudan's voice began to echo in the hall. She even imitated the tone of Su Jinyue and Fusu's conversation vividly.
This lady Dan was actually a spy planted by Ying Zheng next to Su Jinyue. Not only her, but also another lady Gui, and all the servants in the Yuehua Palace, including the cleaners, were spies personally selected and arranged by Ying Zheng.
This king, who was full of ambition and tyranny and wanted to look at the bright moon in the sky, became even more tyrannical and anxious after learning that the Qin Empire he had created would perish in the second generation.
For several months, he was often awakened by nightmares, in which he would confine himself to a prison and get stuck in a dead end that he had carefully considered.
This made him feel unprecedentedly uneasy, and his desire for control over power became stronger.
Perhaps, only a major change can calm this king down and settle his uneasy heart.
The autumn nights are cold and long, and I sit in the north hall for a long time, pondering.
It was late at night, Ying Zheng closed his eyes, lay on the imperial bed, and forced himself to fall asleep.
To the east of the main hall, the lights in the bedroom of the eldest son Fusu were still bright, and bamboo slips engraved with articles covered the entire hall.
Fusu was still pondering the imperial philosophy that Ying Zheng had said during the day, trying to find answers from the writings of ancient sages.
And Su Jinyue had already fallen into a deep sleep in the Yuehua Palace.
The moon is as cool as water and the night is as dark as ink.
Su Jinyue's face suddenly changed while she was sleeping. Beads of sweat slid down her forehead. If you listened carefully, you could still hear her mumbling in her dream.
"No, don't kill me, I'm useful, I'm still useful!"
Suddenly, Su Jinyue shook her head and struggled, then sat up straight and shouted hoarsely, "No!"
Her loud shout startled the maid Gui who had been on duty in the outer hall. She hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked to the bed to check.
"Third Princess, what's wrong? Are you having a nightmare?"
Su Jinyue covered her face and buried her head deep in the quilt, and replied in a buzzing voice, "Nothing, you can leave."
Lady Gui waved away the guards at the door, stepped forward and tucked in Su Jinyue's bedding, and said gently, "Princess, have a good rest. Gui is in the outer hall. If you need anything, just call me."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left the inner hall. After a while, she brought in a pot of warm tea and placed it on the table next to the bed.
Su Jinyue raised her head, tears still streaking her face, and stammered, "Thank you, Gui."
No, you can't say thank you. The class system is strict here and you can't thank slaves.
Su Jinyue secretly warned herself that she must never make this mistake again.
Lady Gui had already bowed humbly and left the inner hall with a smile.
Su Jinyue woke up from a dream late at night and couldn't fall asleep again. She began to silently recite the technical principles and operating details that she had never cared about before. Only by repeating them over and over again could she feel safe enough.
It was not until the morning light that Su Jinyue fell into a deep sleep after reciting the mantra silently countless times.
And that night, she was not the only one who couldn't sleep.
In a palace not far from Yuehua Palace, an old woman hurried into the inner room of Wangshu Palace.
"Old woman, please come and take a look. Su Ji is crying again." The lady who led the way whispered about her master's recent situation.
"Ever since the Third Princess's high fever subsided a few years ago, she has been isolated in Yuehua Palace. No one, including the concubines and palace maids, is allowed to come into contact with her. Su Ji often cries bitterly late at night, begging to see His Majesty, begging him to let her meet the Third Princess, but her wish has never been granted."
Su Yu hurried and quickened her pace, and in a moment she arrived at the inner room.
