In order to commend Lord Yangquan's achievements, Prince Chu of Qin specially ordered Prince Zheng to go on his behalf to mourn and express condolences.

Ying Zheng was very reluctant at first, and Bai Xiaosheng tried his best to persuade him, and Lu Buwei also tried his best to persuade him, but our young prince seemed to have reached his rebellious stage and just refused to go. In the end, there was no other way, and Bai Xiaosheng took out his ultimate move, the technique of knocking on the forehead with a pen, so our Prince Zheng pitifully covered his head and obediently took Zhao Gao with him.

"Has Lord Yangquan already talked to you?"

At the mansion of Marquis Wenxin, Bai Xiaosheng had a rare chance to sit and chat with Lü Buwei, but the topics they talked about were never trivial matters of family life.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Lü Buwei's pale face and haggard look, and shook his head. Nowadays, Prince Chu of Qin doesn't care much about the government affairs of the Qin State, and Lord Yangquan is claiming to be sick at home. All affairs are piled on Lü Buwei alone. Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid he hasn't had a good sleep for many days.

However, Bai Xiaosheng didn't feel too much pity in his heart, only a faint joy. The harder Lü Buwei works now, the stronger the Qin State that will be passed on to Ying Zheng in the future will be.

Lü Buwei, who was working at his desk, said without raising his head:"Well, it has been talked about. He will help us at the critical moment."

"What about Luowang?" Bai Xiaosheng asked softly,"What did Lord Yangquan say?"

Lü Buwei felt a little sleepy, so he stretched out two fingers and pinched the skin between his eyebrows, until the old skin turned red, which made him feel refreshed. But he still had no strength to speak:"When Prince Zheng is appointed as the crown prince, he will be handed over to me."

"He didn't make any requests?"

""No."

Bai Xiaosheng was rarely upset. Yangquan Jun actually gave Luowang to Lu Buwei for nothing. This was unreasonable and illogical. Then the"Luowang Seizing Plan" prepared earlier was in vain.

"If you can't figure it out, then forget it."Lü Buwei seemed uncomfortable with someone watching him work. After a while, he put down his red pen, closed the file and said,"In two months, it will be the prince's exam. I have to focus on handling court affairs and preparing to take over Luowang. You should pay more attention to Prince Zheng's homework."

"Leave it to me."

The two did not chat for too long, and Bai Xiaosheng said goodbye in a hurry. In fact, Bai Xiaosheng's role around Lu Buwei has always been vague. He is neither Lu Buwei's guest nor his staff. If he is to be called a friend, it seems that he is not one either. He can be considered a partner barely.

In recent days, Bai Xiaosheng can clearly feel Wei's vigilance and alienation towards him. Even around his residence, there are many people with suspicious identities. I think they are sent by Lu Buwei to monitor him.

It seems that he needs to find a chance to escape. Lu Buwei is ruthless and a bit like King Jian of Yue. He is the kind of person who can only share hardships, but not happiness. Bai Xiaosheng sat in the carriage with his chin propped up and frowned in thought.

After returning to his residence, before he got off the carriage, Bai Xiaosheng heard an order that surprised him. He had to bring Xue Nu and go directly to the palace.

The order did not come from Prince Chu of Qin, but from the queen who had always been relatively silent. Since Zhao Ji returned to Qin, she has been living in seclusion and rarely went out, especially after being made queen, she rarely appeared in public.

The order arrived the moment Bai Xiaosheng left the house. Bai Xiaosheng was summoned to the palace by special order, but unexpectedly, Bai Xiaosheng sneaked out, and the eunuch who delivered the order had to wait.

Bai Xiaosheng tilted his head slightly to listen to Xue Nu's whispered words in his ear, and was a little confused as to why the queen was so anxious to summon him to the palace.

It was dusk, and it was a little dark in the Xianyang Palace. Xue Nu frowned and looked at the palace that was still magnificent even in the night, pouting and said,"I don't like the palace."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and comforted,"Then I will listen to you in the future. If you don't want to come, just turn it down."

Xue Nu looked at him seriously and said,"It's all for you. In the deep palace, the queen summoned an outsider late at night. If it gets out, what will happen to the reputation of Empress Zhao Ji? So, I can only come with you reluctantly."

Bai Xiaosheng was touched. The women in his family understood his heart better than each other. He held her hand tightly and said softly,"My wife is the one who understands my heart."

Xue Nu smiled warmly.

Not far ahead, the gate of Ganquan Palace had opened a corner. Several palace maids were waiting for the arrival of the two with their heads lowered. Among them, the figure of a young eunuch was particularly conspicuous.

"Zhao Gao, why are you here?……"Bai Xiaosheng smiled and greeted him. His mind raced. He thought that Zhao Ji's urgent summons to the palace might have something to do with Prince Zheng.

"Sir, you are here. The Queen was furious and made His Highness kneel for almost two hours."Sure enough, Zhao Gao whispered about the situation in Ganquan and led the two of them through a corner of the palace gate. A breeze blew in their faces.

"gentlemen……"

Queen Zhao Ji was holding a whip in her hand, whipping her son with anger on her face. When she saw Bai Xiaosheng coming, her expression eased a little, and she forced a smile to invite the two to come in.

As for Ying Zheng, the young prince was biting his thick lower lip at this time, clenching his hands tightly, and refused to let go. It seemed that he was arguing with his mother.

Bai Xiaosheng gently patted the back of Xue Nu's hand, and then glanced at Zhao Ji. The two girls understood, bent their arms around each other and went to the back hall, leaving the space for them.

Bai Xiaosheng sighed, walked forward, patted the young prince who was still kneeling on the ground, and said softly:"Don't get up yet."

Ying Zheng looked up at his respected teacher in a daze. His face, which had been somewhat expectant, also calmed down, and he said lightly:"I don't like Mi Nuo."

Bai Xiaosheng frowned, coughed uncomfortably, and said with a wry smile:"This is not up to you. As long as you are appointed as the prince, your father will arrange a marriage for you"

"But Zheng'er really has no feelings for Mi Nuo.
