After returning to the Hengda Palace, Zi Du had a sleepless night. He was eager to gain strength. He thought about it and decided to find an "outsider" teacher to learn martial arts.
After all, he was still a prince. If he looked for someone close to him, it would be easy for others to see through his flaws. In this world, even if he was a " real " prince, he would still be eliminated by someone with ulterior motives.
Since he had made his decision, Zi Du couldn't sit still anymore. Since Qin Shihuang had been training him, even if he did something out of line, it wouldn't be too big of a deal. Thinking of this, Zi Du jumped up.
"Men,"
"Young Master, do you have any instructions?" The maidservant outside the door bowed and requested.
"Get me a basin of water and some food.”Zi Du tidied his clothes. He didn't expect the maid to have already prepared a basin when she came in. The other one also brought something like toiletries.
" Yes," the maid carrying the basin replied softly. She put down the basin and was about to help Zi Du get dressed.
As a modern man, Zi Du couldn't take this. He waved his hand to signal the servant girls not to use it. However, what shocked him was that the two servant girls actually knelt down and cried as they begged Zi Du to forgive them.
He was barely able to get dressed by the two young girls. Zi Du was embarrassed to find that there was no toothbrush here. This made him very embarrassed. Fortunately, there was something to rinse his mouth in the palace. Otherwise, he really didn't know what to do.
"Prepare the sedan chair for me. I want to meet the Prime Minister.”When they were almost done, Zi Du said to the remaining servant girl.
"Yes."
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Zi Du rode the sedan chair for about two hours before arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion. The moment he opened the curtain of the sedan chair, a group of people had already knelt on the ground.
"Welcome, salary."
"Prime Minister, there's no need to be like this.”Zi Du hurriedly helped a white-haired old man up, his attitude extremely respectful.
"Young Master's arrival is this lowly subject's blessing, please enter the residence.”Li Si knew that even though he was the prime minister, he was a little too opportunistic compared to the previous few, so his attitude was the most respectful of all.
This was the first time Zi Du had seen the real Prime Minister Li Si, but this was far from what he had imagined. Whether it was the person or his attitude, Zi Du seriously suspected that this person knew some "secrets".
After walking into the living room and waiting for everyone to leave, Zi Du looked at the old man with an extremely respectful attitude and said unconfidently,
"As the prime minister, you have done your best for our country. I'll be straightforward with some things. If there's anything wrong, please forgive me.”
"Young master is too serious. It is a great blessing for all of us officials to be able to contribute to His Majesty the First Emperor.”Li Si could not remain calm. He almost fainted after Zi Du finished speaking. Did he know?
"Prime Minister, there is no need to be humble. Prime Minister, you have always been helping my emperor in the city. I wonder if you know some secrets?”Zi Du complimented him and said ambiguously.
At this point, Li Si really could not continue. He more or less knew what Zidu had been through along the way. Putting aside the fact that the Emperor had been unusually angry for him yesterday, the third person he was looking for after returning to the city was him. His tone was even more accusatory, so the matter was serious. He was so scared that he quickly knelt down.
"It is our fault for not being able to protect you. Please forgive us.”
With this ruckus, Zi Du realized that things had actually deviated from the planned track. He quickly stood up and helped Li Si up, who was trembling, and explained,"
"Prime Minister, you've misunderstood. Fusu didn't come here today to ask for blame, but he really has something to ask you.”
Li Si stood up and wiped the sweat off his forehead before calming down. However, his body was still trembling.
"Young Master, please speak. I will tell you everything I know.”
"Do you know that the soldiers of the other six dynasties who refused to surrender are imprisoned there?”Zi Du did not want to waste any more time on him, so he went straight to the point.
"I've only heard that some people were locked up by General Zhang Han in the 'Heaven Jail'.”
Li Si asked in confusion. The First Emperor had said that no one was allowed to ask about the imperial prison. As the First Prince, Fusu should have even more of a commandment. He was so confused that he forgot about the etiquette between monarch and minister.
Due to his incomplete memory, Zi Du did not know about this. However, the meticulous him still noticed Li Si's abnormality immediately, so he wanted to find an excuse to brush it off while secretly warning him,""It's nothing. I just suspect that some people can't hold it in anymore.”
"This subject is terrified." Li Si cupped his hands and knelt down again, but Zi Du did not help him up this time.
"I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. I hope Lord Prime Minister can forgive me.”
With that, Zi Du turned around and walked out without waiting for Li Si to speak. As he left, he did not forget to look at the Prime Minister kneeling on the ground.
This was too wrong. Whether it was the 16th in his memory, the Zhao Gao he met yesterday, or even the Li Si today, he was very different from the one in Qin Shimue's memory. Could it be that his arrival had changed the trajectory? This was not fun.
"Young Master, please." When the two maidservants saw Zi Du come out, they hurriedly bowed.
"It seems like it's time to establish a special force.”Realizing that he was once again "ignorant" about this world, Zi Du sighed silently.
"Prepare the sedan chair and return to the residence."
"Hmph, an arrogant child will never become a Great Dao."
Seeing that everyone had left, Li Si, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up and snorted in disdain. At the same time, he shouted at the door,""Prepare the palanquin and enter the palace."
