It's just a matter of exploring some secrets of Cheng Xi's life in the palace. This little thing is easy for Lu Buwei! He only spent ten pieces of gold to get many eunuchs and maidservants to work for him. Such a lucrative job was hard to snatch away even if you broke the bank.

After buying off the eunuch who would serve Cheng Xi, the matter became even simpler. Lu Buwei listened to Yan Dan's words and thought about it for a while after going back. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there might be an unspeakable secret between Chenglong and Shimi.

One is in his prime and the other is in love. The encounter between these two people, even if it is not earth-shattering, should at least make one of them linger over it.

Soon, the bribed eunuch found an opportunity.

Cheng Xi was taken to bath by his maid. The eunuch sneaked into the bedroom and saw the young master's clothes hanging on the hangers, so he started to rummage through the boxes and cabinets.

After searching all over, he couldn't find any important tokens. Just when the little eunuch was about to give up and return without success, he remembered a sentence, if it is an important thing, he must keep it close to his body and never leave it randomly!

He glanced at the gorgeous clothes hanging on the hangers and started searching without thinking too much.

Soon, I found the handkerchief in the cuff of Cheng Xiuli.

As a concubine, Liang Jue could never own the precious silk material. He recalled that he had seen the young master several times as if he was meditating with something in his hand, and his eyes were always full of sadness.

The veil was quickly stolen by the little eunuch and delivered to Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei, who was holding the handkerchief, was startled and naturally felt that he looked familiar.

"Is this... really something that is personal to the young master?"

"Yes! I will never dare to deceive the Prime Minister!"

Lu Buwei had naturally seen this handkerchief before. When Shimi first returned to Qin, she used it to wipe her sweat at banquets several times. This was a material rewarded by the monarch, and ordinary people had no chance to use it!

"Send this veil back! Remember! Don't let anyone find out."

Lu Buwei's heart beat faster. He discovered an incredible problem. Just like Yan Dan said, the relationship between these two people is not an ordinary relationship. Maybe if you dig deeper, there must be an ulterior secret!

However, at this time, Ying Zheng did not notice the thunder hidden around him. In the past few days, intelligence from the Zhao Kingdom came from the front. The former King of Zhao passed away and Zhao Yan ascended the throne. He had an irreconcilable hatred with himself. Ying Zheng knew that Zhao Yan With a few kilograms and a few taels, he is not suitable to be the king of a country at all. If the Zhao Kingdom is left in his hands, it will surely decline!

At this time, perhaps it is the best time to eliminate Zhao State!

This matter naturally needs to be discussed with Lu Buwei. Although Ying Zheng wants to get rid of him, but now he wants to discuss the strategy of attacking Zhao, he naturally wants to listen to the opinions of the prime minister.

"At the beginning, the five kingdoms attacked Qin, but now the king of Zhao has just died, and the one in charge is Zhao Yan, a foolish king who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. They must be at a loss at this moment. God is really helping us, Great Qin!"

Lu Buwei naturally agreed to send troops. While he was offering strategies to Ying Zheng, he was thinking about how to let Ying Zheng know that there was an unusual relationship between Cheng Yu and Shi Mi. Although the monarch at the moment treated him with respect, he might suddenly suddenly His face changed, and when he mentioned Lao Ai again, he wanted to kill himself to silence him!

I can't protect myself without finding a way to offset the merits!

"I wonder which general your Majesty would like to send to the expedition?"

"Does the Prime Minister have any ideas?"

Lu Buwei rolled his eyes and said

"We can ask General Meng Ao and Major General Meng Tian to go out with 50,000 troops and horses."

"Is fifty thousand enough?"

Ying Zheng looked at him and asked

Lu Buwei was quite confident about this, he said with a smile

"Now that Zhao's talent is withering, they only have a few generals in their hands. If I guess correctly, Li Mu will definitely be sent on this expedition!"

Li Mu? I haven't heard this name for a long time.

Ying Zheng's thoughts suddenly returned to the time when he went to Korea to rescue Shimi. Since then, Ying Zheng has never heard Shimi mention the word "Li Mu" again.

No one may know that Li Mu has always been a thorn in Ying Zheng's heart. He understands that this person's feelings for Shimi may be no less than his own.

"But if he hadn't been demoted before, would he still be a general?"

Lu Buwei responded with a smile again

"Is your Majesty talking about the fact that Li Mu escorted the empress to Korea and was defeated and demoted? Many years have passed since this happened. Now that the new king has succeeded, it is said that Zhao Yan respects and appreciates Li Mu very much. I think he will be reinstated. "

The two of them were discussing while walking, but unfortunately, they met Chenglong!

He was not accompanied by any concubine, nor was there any maid to serve him. He just passed by in a hurry and did not find Ying Zheng or the others.

"Master, you look so panicked, where are you going?"

Lu Buwei was also confused and just said casually

"It seems like this road leads to the back garden."

Ying Zheng said nothing, just glanced at Cheng Xi who was passing by in a hurry, and then looked at the quiet path leading to the back garden.

It's winter now, and there are no beautiful flowers in the garden. I wonder what this kid is doing? Still looking so shocked.

Ying Zheng said nothing, but he also stepped into the garden. Just after crossing the path, he heard a crisp laughter.

It was Shikiya's voice.

He pushed aside the bamboo leaves blocking his eyes and saw Shiya not far away admiring the flowers with several maids.

It turned out that the plum blossoms in the palace were in full bloom.

He watched from a distance without disturbing him. The scene in front of him was very beautiful. He only saw Shimiya, now a mother, looking gentle and charming. He saw her getting closer and smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms. Her sweet smile was as sweet as the flowers. Jiao, then folded a few more plum blossoms and handed them to Shi Yi. The master and servants talked and laughed before going elsewhere.

Ying Zheng stood, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

He looked back at the path he had come on, and then at Shimiya, feeling doubtful in his heart.

Could it be that he just became a dragon... No! He immediately rejected this ridiculous idea.

His heartbeat was a little accelerated and he was a little uneasy. Ying Zheng immediately put an end to this unbearable idea, then turned around and said to Lu Buwei

"The Prime Minister can make arrangements as soon as possible for the attack on Zhao State!"

When Ying Zheng returned to the palace, he saw Shimi putting a few newly folded plum blossoms into the vase.

"Where's Fusu?"

Ying Zheng asked.

"He was taken down by his wet nurse to take a nap. You came back a little late today, and Fusu couldn't wait any longer and started to feel sleepy."

Ying Zheng said nothing, but hugged Shimi from behind.

"What's wrong? It's still daytime. Are you trying to act coquettishly on me?"

Shimi smiled, inserted the trimmed plum blossom into the mouth of the bottle, and turned to look at Ying Zheng.

"What's important today? I saw you summoned Lu Buwei."

Ying Zheng smiled, raised his hand to hold her forehead, and then hugged her tightly, without saying a word, he just looked at her eyebrows silently, like a lover who had been separated for many years, with a look full of nostalgia on his face.

"what happened?"

"I have ordered people to attack the State of Zhao. We will set off in a few days!"
