Guard of His Majesty the First Emperor

"Have you found out what the widow told you to do?" In the middle of the night, when he was supposed to be going to bed, Ying Zheng waved away, leaving only one person behind.

This person is Ying Zheng's secret guard, Mo Dai, who has stayed by his side longer than Xia Wuju.If Yingzheng trusted anyone the most, neither Arthur nor Xia Wuju could be ranked. This person and the hidden guard he led were the people he trusted the most.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates only found out in Zhao State that the Queen Mother was originally Xiangbang's concubine, and was later given to the late king. This is what someone who had good friends with Xiangbang said."

"sure?"

"It should be true. These not only know Xiangbang, but also know the former king." Mo Dai said, "Actually, Xiangbang and the others didn't try to hide these things, many people knew about them."

"The widow knows. You go down first. Don't tell others about this."

"The subordinate understands. The subordinate retreats first."

After Mo Dai left, Ying Zheng sat down in silence.At this time, he should go to take a bath, and he has to go to morning court. Before going to morning court, he has to sleep, and it is only two hours before the morning court time.But he just didn't want to sleep.Things are now very clear.He originally thought that his mother only said that to save Lu Buwei's life, but now he is not sure at all.Just like back then when he clearly knew about his mother and Lu Buwei, but he always naively thought that they were fine until that day when he saw it with his own eyes.No wonder, when he came back from Zhao country, his father always treated him with no false words.It must have been suspected.

Ying Zheng stayed alone until dawn, and when he went to court, no one else could tell that he was any different from usual.

"Your Majesty, Doctor Xia, please see me." The palace servant said after seeing Ying Zhengyong.Xia Wuju had been waiting outside for a long time.

"...I think he's fine, so send him away." Ying Zheng said, "I have something to do, I'm going to see my mother."

"No!" The palace servant replied, "Your maidservant will go prepare now."

"There is no need to prepare. There are not many roads. The widow can go there by himself."

"promise!"

From a distance, I saw a large group of people walking back and forth in front of the Empress Dowager's Palace. Since the last time, Zhao Ji has never gone out again.Ying Zheng didn't know whether he was right or wrong, but he really had no choice.

"Your Majesty." Someone saw Ying Zheng and saluted from a distance.

Ying Zheng quickened his pace, avoided everyone's courtesy, and said, "Go down first, I have something to see my mother."

"promise!"

After entering the palace, Ying Zheng saw his mother and queen Zhao Ji sitting by the bed alone, holding a piece of clothing in her hand.

"Queen, why did you send all the palace people away? They're all gone, who will serve you?" After Ying Zheng asked this sentence, he saw clearly the clothes Zhao Ji was holding, "Whose clothes belong to them? "The clothes are obviously not Zhao Ji's.

Zhao Ji seemed to have just discovered that Ying Zheng had come in. Her face, which was full of longing, immediately changed into panic, and subconsciously hid the clothes in her hands behind her back, as if she was afraid of being taken away by Ying Zheng.

"Zheng'er, why did you come here suddenly? Why didn't they notify you?"

"The widow made them go." Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Ji with a complicated expression, and said, "Mother, whose clothes are these?"

"...Zheng'er, this dress, this dress..." Zhao Ji hesitated and couldn't tell the reason.

Ying Zheng's face became ugly, and he asked, "Is this Lu Buwei's clothes? Why are you still thinking about him, Queen Mother?"

"Zheng'er, isn't the queen—"

"It's not that you don't need to explain anymore. The widow will not let you see him again." Ying Zheng said, "The widow came here today to have a good talk with you, but now it seems that it is unnecessary."

"Zheng'er, Lu Buwei is your biological father no matter what." Zhao Ji was anxious, "And your father doesn't like me, and he doesn't like you either. If it weren't for Lu Buwei, would you be the King of Qin?"

"Why doesn't the father like the widow? Isn't it because of him, Lu Buwei? Do you think he raised the widow for you?"

"Of course not for me. You are his own son, and he will help you no matter what happens."

"He did it for his own ambition. If it was Cheng Yu, how could he be so presumptuous? If Mrs. Lian became the empress dowager, how could Daqin's greatest power fall into his hands?"

Zhao Ji was stunned, and said, "Zheng'er, are you blaming the queen mother?"

Ying Zheng couldn't believe it, and he could still twitch his mouth: "Mother, why would Zheng'er blame you? What the widow keeps saying is Xiangbang, isn't it?"

"Zheng'er, what do you want to come here today?" Zhao Ji is not stupid after all. Ying Zheng didn't mean to talk about Lu Buwei when she came here. If it wasn't for this dress, Lu Buwei wouldn't be involved.Now she can only think of a way to break the topic.

"The widow came here today because I wanted to have a good talk with the queen. Now it seems that the son of the widow has long been lost in the mother's heart, so let's do it." Ying Zheng said, "There is one more thing to tell the queen. Put away these clothes. It will be difficult for Lu Buwei to enter the palace in the future."

"Zheng'er, the palace is so cold and silent, it's hard for the empress..."

"It's hard?" Ying Zheng sneered, "Is the mother saying that she finally found a comfort? The mother is the queen mother of Qin, and the ghost of the father is still in Xianyang Palace, so you find someone else to comfort you? The mother When you hold Lu Buwei's clothes in your arms and miss him, do you still remember what clothes your father wore?"

Zhao Ji was speechless for a moment, and Ying Zheng continued: "Some facts, if the widow doesn't admit it, then it's not true. The only father the widow recognizes is the father and the king. Queen Mother, you can do it yourself."

After leaving the queen mother's palace, Ying Zheng walked back alone.As he walked, he came to a familiar place.Arthur did not live where he had lived at court.

"Oh—is there really nowhere to go?" Ying Zheng laughed at himself, "The widow has come here."

When he was about to turn around and leave, Ying Zheng thought that he was the king of Daqin, and the whole Daqin belonged to him. Why couldn't he come where Arthur was?He just came, he just wanted to go in and have a look.

At this time, Arthur was the only one in the room, and Ying Zheng gave him a big jump when he pushed the door in.

"Brother!" Arthur lowered his head and shouted, hiding the things in his hands behind his back.

"What are you doing?"

"Your Majesty?" Arthur finally realized that it was Ying Zheng who came, "Why are you here at this hour?"

"The widow has nothing to do to come and take a look." Ying Zheng said, "You haven't said what you are doing yet."

Arthur blushed suddenly and said, "It's nothing, just make a little thing..."

With this look, it would be a ghost if Ying Zheng really believed that there was nothing wrong.

"Take it out and show it to the widow."

Arthur shook his head, it seemed that this was the first time he said "no" to Ying Zheng.

"My lord, it's really nothing." As Arthur said, he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, lord, did you come here because of what Xia Wuju said?"

"You sent Xia Wuju to find the widow?" Although Arthur's method was very lame, Ying Zheng still asked.

"Didn't Xia Wuju say anything?" It shouldn't be, shouldn't there be some kind words?It's not that Arthur doubted Xia Wuju. If he said this, it was impossible not to mention himself, and Ying Zheng shouldn't be so indifferent.So the only explanation is that he didn't see the king at all?

"The widow did not see him." Sure enough.

"That minister should tell the king directly, there is a killer in Xiangbang's mansion."

Is there a killer in Lu Buwei's house?This matter is really not small, he has countless followers, has been compiling books, and controls most of his courtiers.Now he actually has a killer?If it wasn't - if they didn't still have that relationship, Ying Zheng would really think that Lu Buwei would rebel.

"The widow knows about this." Ying Zheng responded, "Now can you show the things you have hidden to the widow?"
