After a night passed, it was already bright. After that night, Chen Xu felt that his head and body were getting much more relaxed, and even the stinging pain and numbness of the wound were relieved a lot.

When Chen Xu opened his eyes, he found that there were many people in the room, except for a group of maids, all four wives were there. Ying Shiman was standing with her daughter in her arms, Meng Wan and Fan Caiying stood in the middle, and Shui Qingrou stood at the end. Although her lips were dry and pale, she did not look bad. So Chen Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Husband~~"

"Husband~"

"Marty~"

Just as Chen Xu opened his eyes, Ying Shiman, Meng Wan and Fan Caiying cried almost at the same time, and a group of maids knelt on the ground and cried like tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry, don't you think I'm fine..." Chen Xu hurriedly sat up, comforted him for a while, then couldn't wait to take the baby in Ying Shiman's arms and said, "Let me see my daughter..."

"Husband, be careful of the wound!" Ying Shiman carefully put the baby in the swaddling clothes gently in Chen Xu's arms. Chen Xu couldn't help but grin and took a breath of cold air. But looking at the baby in his arms with rosy skin but only slightly opened his eyes, Chen Xu seemed to throw the pain all over his body into Java. He excitedly touched the baby's tender cheeks with his fingers and smiled: "Wow, is this my daughter? Why are she so ugly..."

The room that was crying was always in a hurry and suddenly became stumbled around and covered her mouth and laughed.

"Husband, my daughter is not ugly, it's just not growing. It's only been over a month, and I will definitely be beautiful in a few months!" Ying Shiman smiled and wiped her tears, obviously not satisfied with her husband saying that the daughter she gave birth to was ugly as soon as she met her husband.

What's more, I originally expected to have a son to inherit the title of Qinghe Hou, but I gave birth to a daughter. Ying Shiman was so depressed that she was almost depressed after giving birth. She held her daughter all day long, afraid that Chen Xu would not like her when she came back.

"Hello, my daughter, haha, this marquis likes her the most. In the future, let her inherit the marquis of Qinghe, the Marquis of Qinghe, in the world, and become the first marquis in the world!" Chen Xu was very excited, touching the baby's face with his fingers, and even touching his little nose and mouth, feeling like a novel and fun toy.

“Wow~~”

Finally, Chen Xu was impatient to touch this toy. He opened his mouth and let out a crisp cry, which instantly made Chen Xu helplessly. He looked up at the circle of women, "Why did you cry? I didn't hit her!"

"Puchi~Puchi~"

There was another giggle in the room, covering his mouth and eating and laughing. Ying Shiman quickly took her daughter over and said to a maid behind her, "I must be hungry, go and call the wet nurse!"

Chen Xu stared at Ying Shiman's bulging chest and said stutteringly: "Why... why do you want to hire a wet nurse!"

Ying Shiman's cheeks blushed and lowered her head. Fan Caiying quickly said, "Marty, the nanny was arranged by Concubine Yun from the palace. I'm afraid that the princess would not have enough milk!"

"Well, Concubine Yun made a good arrangement, and she really needs to be full!" Chen Xu guessed some bad habits in some aristocratic families in a confused way, but now she is definitely a noble family. It is necessary to hire a wet nurse, and she must be a *** wet nurse with sufficient milk.

Because of the appearance of his daughter, the sad cry in the room quickly turned into Zhan Yan's smile. Chen Xu held several wives hand in hand and looked carefully. He found that except for his face, his eyes were a little haggard, his eyes were a little red and swollen, they were all very good, especially Ying Shiman, who had obviously gained weight, which was more plump and fuller than when he left.

"Greenrou, you have been running outside for more than a year, and you have also been poisoned. Recently, you have a good rest and take the medicine on time!" Chen Xu said at the end of the hand holding Shui Qingrou.

"Yes, husband!" Shui Qingrou nodded with red eyes.

Although Chen Xu woke up, his body had not recovered and the toxins in his body had not been completely removed. Therefore, he teased his daughter and talked with several women for a while. The arrow wound on his chest began to bleed again. Therefore, several women and maids quickly left the room and called the imperial doctor to check and bandage Chen Xu again.

After the bandaging was finished, Chen Xu forced himself to get up and wrote two letters, asking Yu Wuya to arrange the guards to send them out quickly, one for the magistrate of Pei County Jiang Beiting, and the other for the magistrate of Kuaiji County Jiang Heng. After thinking for a while, he arranged for someone to find Chen Ping'an, Yuliang, Zhang Cang and others.

...

On July 15, the First Emperor, who was traveling southeast, arrived at Xinye County, not far from Wancheng. However, just as the emperor set his way down to meet the officials and gentry of Xinye County, a messenger suddenly rushed from the north with a sweat on his head.

"Report~ Your Majesty, the Sanchuan County Magistrate has reported urgently that two days ago, the Marquis of Qinghe was ambushed by bandits at Hangu Pass and was seriously injured, and the entourage was killed or injured..."

"Clang~"

The teacup in the hands of the First Emperor fell to the ground, and after a moment of furiousness, he roared: "Who dares to assassinate Qinghe Hou so boldly?"

"The county magistrate Li You only sent someone to send this urgent report. I'm here to report it. Please check it out!" The commander of the imperial guard presented the urgent report sent by the messenger to the emperor with both hands.

The urgent report is very simple, with only a few lines, which says that Qinghe Hou passed by Hangu Pass. When he was passing through Hangu, he was subjected to ambushes of hundreds of bandits carrying swords, bows and crossbows. However, Qinghe Hou arranged to avoid the ambush in advance, but the subordinates who accompanied him suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, Qinghe Hou was also shot with poisonous arrows by an assassin hidden among the pedestrians. Among the dead were Jiang Chuyue, the daughter of the magistrate of Pei County, Jiang Beiting. Now Sanchuan County has dispatched soldiers and police to arrest the bandits.

"Rebel, rebel~~" One glance at the sight of ten directions swept over the urgent report, and Qin Shihuang was furious, "Come here, I will send my orders, and go and take Hangu Pass and the guards and generals to imprison. It is said that the world will be arrested. Anyone who is involved in this matter will be arrested. Those who disobey orders will be punished as a rebellious person, and those who resist will be killed without any rebellion!"

"Here~~"

"Get out of the camp immediately and set off for Xianyang!"

"I will obey the order!"

This sudden news not only made Qin Shihuang furious, but the officials accompanying him were even more frightened and panicked.

The Qinghe Hou is now like a banner of the Great Qin Empire. It not only has an outstanding position in the court, but also respects it among the people. This time, he accompanied the emperor on a tour, and there were countless officials, merchants, gentry and famous scholars who visited the emperor. While praising the emperor, he also expressed his admiration for the Qinghe Hou at all times. The ordinary people in the folk respected the Qinghe Hou even more. Many places have built Taiyi Temple and the temple of Qinghe Hou constantly worshipped the incense day and night. The identity of the disciple of the Qinghe Hou's immortal family has been widely recognized by the people. It is believed that the Qin Dynasty will inevitably prosper with the blessing of Qinghe Hou and Taiyi Immortal Lord.

Therefore, everyone felt incredible about the sudden assassination of Qinghe Hou, and felt extremely frightened and cold in their hearts, for fear of angering Taiyi Immortal Lord, and brought disaster and bad luck to the Qin Dynasty.

Even Li Si, who had always been in disagreement with Chen Xu, was frightened, afraid that this matter would be related to him. Although he knew nothing about this matter was not done by him, he could not guarantee that people from the people and the court would not think so.

With the issuance of the order, the news of Qinghe Hou's assassination was soon confirmed by a well-informed man, and the entire Central Plains became in chaos in an instant.

...

"The bandits are so rampant that even the Marquis of Qinghe dares to assassinate them. We must not stand by and watch. We must write a letter to the emperor to quickly arrest the bandits to avenge Qinghehou!"

"Yes, if there were no Qinghe Marquis, how could we have the status and status we are today!"

"It must be the old man Li Si did it..."

"It's definitely not wrong. Li Si is now being suppressed by the Marquis, so he wants to kill the Marquis..."

"Let's go, we will go to the Secretariat immediately to ask Feng Xiang!"

"Even if the marquis escaped, old man Li Si will have to pay the price. If he doesn't die, we will be unable to sleep or eat. Once Li Si really succeeds, our disciples of the Hundred Schools will inevitably be suppressed by him again. Maybe they will have the idea of ​​burning the Hundred Schools' Sutras..."

"It's not too late to leave, we will go to the Secretariat immediately..."

In the School of Literature, thousands of disciples who edited and compiled historical books and classics here gathered in front of the huge stone wall of the seal carving moral scriptures and shouted loudly. Under the boiling emotions, they all waved their fists and shouted to go to the Shangshu Province for their wishes.

"Stop it~~Do you want to rebel!"

As a stern and old voice came, An Yuliang, the vice president who hurried into the School of Literature, couldn't help but yell, and the whole scene instantly became quiet.

"Why did Gong Yuliang say this? The emperor is not in Xianyang now. We are just going to ask Feng Xiang for his appointment. We can't just let the old thief Li Si be so rampant!" A Confucian scholar with wide sleeves and big robe stood up and said excitedly.

"Hmph, I just returned from the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis was afraid that you would get together to cause trouble, so I asked me to hurry back and explain. The Marquis' assassination had nothing to do with Li Xiang. You wait for An Xin to be in the academy. The Marquis will deal with the assassin's affairs, so you must not cause trouble!" An Yuliang said loudly with a serious expression.

"Ah, it's not Li Si, who would that be?"

"Yes, the Marquis is unparalleled and has only conflicts with Li Si. Isn't it him or who?"

"Since the Marquis said it was not Li Si, it would be fine. I'd better do it with peace of mind. I heard that the emperor had agreed to print hundreds of classics on Mount Tai last time, so this matter must be completed as soon as possible."

"Hmph, what do you know? It must be Lispuff, it's just that the Marquis is worried that we will annoy Lis..."

"Whether it is true or false, please listen to the Marquis. Don't cause trouble for the Marquis. When the emperor returns to Xianyang, the truth will be revealed!"

"What I said is, after obeying the arrangements of Mr. Yu Liang, they all went back to work!"

Thousands of people who were bustling with excitement quickly dispersed, leaving only An Yuliang's face twitching and wiping the sweat on his forehead.

Fortunately, when Qinghe Hou woke up, he quickly called them to give me some advice, otherwise Xianyang would definitely be in chaos today.

In addition to the School of Literature, Zhang Cang, Chen Ping and others are all pacifying a group of subordinates in the Academy of Sciences and newspapers.

Now the Hou Qinghe is the backbone of all the officials. Once something happens to Chen Xu, they will lose their hearts in an instant. There will be no such unity and positive situation now.

Chen Xu had just returned to Xianyang last evening, and arrived almost the same time as the first emperor received a 400-mile memorial from Sanchuan County.

While he was still on his way back to Xianyang, the news of the assassination of the Qinghe Marquis at Hangu Pass had already spread throughout Xianyang like a hurricane. Both the princes, princes, princes, princes, princes, and common people were shocked by the sudden news and almost lost their souls. So regardless of whether there was a good relationship between hatred or not, almost all the princes, princes, princes, princes, civil and military officials in Xianyang took gifts to visit Qinghe Marquis' Mansion.

Although Chen Xu had woken up, he was not in the mood to meet these noble masters. Apart from Chen Ping'an, Yu Liang and others, he only met with some important figures such as Right Prime Minister Feng Quji and Inner Historian Qi Dang. All the other irrelevant people were kept away by the housekeeper and guards. Even a group of playboys such as Meng Yun did not have the opportunity to enter. The gifts brought by everyone were taken back under the persuasion of the housekeeper. Moreover, Chen Xu met everyone very shortly. After only a few words, the guest said goodbye and left in a hurry.

The Qinghe Hou Mansion was in a bleak cloud, and the entire Xianyang was also in chaos. Feng Quji urgently summoned officials from the three provinces and six ministries and the princes to gather in the court to discuss countermeasures. At the same time, he also sent several messengers to report details of the matter to the parade emperor with four hundred miles of urgent order flags.

The emperor has not returned from the tour, but this matter has exceeded Feng Quji's control.
