Guard of His Majesty the First Emperor

Ying Zheng returned to his palace and drove out the palace servants who were about to come in.

The man didn't show his face, but that didn't mean that Ying Zheng didn't know who he was.It is easy to see a person's identity by his body shape and clothing.Although Lu Buwei was not wearing court clothes, Ying Zheng could still see his clothing habits.

One is the most honorable woman in Qin State, and the other is the most powerful man in Qin State. Although Ying Zheng does not admit it, Lu Buwei is indeed in power now.Ying Zheng didn't know how to punish them in order to be worthy of his father.What's more, although Ying Zheng would not believe everything Zhao Ji said, he would not disbelieve it either.If Lu Buwei is really his biological father, how should he deal with himself?

"Your Majesty, Wei Wei asks to see you." The palace man said outside.

Arthur is here.For some reason, Ying Zheng felt at ease when he thought of Arthur coming.

"Show him in!" Ying Zheng's pretendingly calm voice sounded.

The palace people outside breathed a sigh of relief.In fact, the king ordered that no one should be seen.It's just that the king's favorite Wei Wei Arthur came here, and the palace man sent a message for him in the hope that he might make the king look at him differently.Didn't expect Arthur to be different in the king's heart, isn't that just announced?

The palace man calmed down a little, and walked a few steps away to Arthur's side.

Yingzheng's voice was not loud just now, Arthur only knew that he had spoken, but he didn't hear clearly.At this moment, I had no choice but to ask: "What did your majesty say?"

"My lord, Xuan Wei Wei, go in." The palace man said respectfully.

Arthur nodded. Just as he was about to go in, he looked back at the palace man with his head down, and said, "You look a little unfamiliar, did you just come here to serve the king?"

In fact, it's no wonder that Arthur looked at the palace people strangely. When he came to Ying Zheng's side, he almost only saw Xia Wuju who followed Ying Zheng, and he didn't have a bunch of people around him like other kings.That is, these days, Xia Wuju was busy, and he also had a rift with Ying Zheng, so Ying Zheng sent a palace servant to serve him.

After hearing what Arthur asked him, the palace servants shook their heads quickly and said: "The slaves have always served the king. It's just that the king didn't want the slaves to wait close to him before, and it was Xia's doctor who served the king. Later, there was Wei Wei. .It’s just that Doctor Xia and Wei Wei are busy now, and they can’t stay with the king all day, so the king chose slaves to come here.”

"I see. You can go to the afternoon first. I have something to discuss with the king, so there is no need to keep people waiting."

"promise!"

......

"Your Majesty."

"You're here?" Ying Zheng looked at Arthur and said, "What are you looking for?"

"I heard that the king has been in a bad mood recently, and today he returned from the queen mother's palace in a rage, so I came here to greet the king."

"The widow came back angry at the mother's place?" Ying Zheng asked with a sneer, "Is this the way it is said in Xianyang Palace now? Apart from these, tell the widow everything else you hear!"

"Other than that, there is nothing else." Arthur said, "I even heard about the king's anger from the other guards. I came here to ask the king what's going on?"

That night, the two went to the dilapidated palace together.Arthur believes that even if the relationship between Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji is not as harmonious as it used to be, at least the superficial peace can be maintained because the mother and son care about each other.But now Yingzheng is angry from the queen mother's palace, why on earth is this.

"Arthur, don't you think you're taking too much control?"

"The minister has been favored by the king to be a guard, so he has to protect the king. The king is angry today, it is the negligence of the minister."

"But the widow wants to tell you that the widow is not angry. The widow and the queen are mother and son, how can the widow be angry with him?" Ying Zheng said, slamming the scroll in his hand on Arthur, "It's you Wei Wei, you have indeed neglected your duty. You actually caused such rumors in the palace, what do you think you should be guilty of?"

Arthur didn't dodge or dodge, letting the heavy scroll fall on him.He picked up the book as if he didn't know the pain, and walked a few steps forward and handed it to Ying Zheng: "If the king feels uncomfortable, you can smash it again, and the minister can bear it." Arthur paused and said: "If Your Majesty still feels angry, then let it go as an officer. Anyway, I would rather be by Your Majesty's side than being a guard." It's better than thinking about you all the time when you're on an errand every day.

"..." Ying Zheng felt that he was about to be laughed at by Arthur. It was such a good opportunity that no one else dared to think about. It was given to him for nothing, but he still didn't want it?

"The widow thinks Xia Wuju told you that the official position is limited, and it's a system of inheritance. If the widow didn't give you this grace, you might not be able to be an official for the rest of your life."

"But the king clearly knows that this is not what I want." Arthur said, "I don't want high officials, high salary, fame and fortune. I just want to stay with the king."

"But Arthur, the widow needs you to occupy the position of Weiwei." Ying Zheng's face suddenly became serious, "The widow is sitting on the throne in Xianyang Palace, but there are few people who can be trusted. If you don't do this Weiwei, there must be someone to replace him. The person who replaces him may not be someone from the widow. The widow can see that you are not happy to be the Weiwei, and you are also bound. But the widow really has no choice .”

What Arthur said just now made Yingzheng a little aggrieved.He knew what he knew a long time ago, he had a premonition early on, and he obviously felt that he was strong, but when Arthur said that, Ying Zheng still felt wronged.He is King Qin, but he is only a ten-year-old boy.Maybe there is no childhood for the emperor, but that is not fair to him at all.None of this was chosen by him. No one wants to be born as the hostage of another country. No one wants to gain the greatest power in the world before they know what power is. No one wants to endure the unknown of their biological father... Ying Zheng was very wronged, and he was wronged and unwilling to do anything.But now he has no way out, he can only force himself to become invincible.But in this process, he also needs someone behind him to support him, protect him, and hold up the sky for him.

Ying Zheng suddenly understood why he let Arthur go in the first place, since his identity was unknown.Maybe it's the firm protection that Arthur's face only shows when facing him!He is so tall in his heart, as if he can cover everything.

Arthur looked at Ying Zheng's moist eyes, feeling a little distressed for a moment.It wasn't the first time he saw this expression on Ying Zheng's face. He might want to cry, but he didn't even dare to shed a tear because of the burden on his shoulders.

"My lord, I still want to ask, what is going on? If the king needs me, I will definitely not back down. I just hope that the king can inform me if there is something to do. I don't want to worry too much."

"I have nothing to do with you." Ying Zheng looked at Arthur, and suddenly smiled again, "Arthur, I believe in my choice more and more! Now I want you to do one thing, to help me eliminate those rumors. I don’t want to hear another word about the widow’s anger.”

"No!" Arthur added, "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's just—"

"There are some things you shouldn't know now." Ying Zheng naturally knew what he meant, "I will definitely tell you when I have a chance in the future!"

"I have one more request."

"you say?"

"I hope that the king can learn to take care of himself. Otherwise, I can't feel at ease."

"How could the widow wrong himself? You are really worrying too much!"

"Then I will leave." If I really worried too much, why would you be so wronged?

After Arthur went back, he passed on the guards who saw Ying Zheng angry.He is a Wei Wei, the head of the Imperial Guard, and it is more than enough to shut up a few people.Even if he doesn't need to say it himself, just find someone to let him know.But Arthur wanted to know something other than shutting those people up.

Arthur knew that it was a felony to inquire about the king without permission, but Ying Zheng refused to tell him, because he was too worried.There are some things that he also needs to know.

After Arthur asked a few people, he gave them some instructions before letting them go.

Arthur stared at the dagger in his hand, remembered Ying Zheng's slightly red eyes, and strengthened his determination.
