Qin Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.
"It seems that the king has entrusted the wrong person. Ran Xiu's actions in the Han Country were only to indulge in sensuality and did not affect the Han Country's national strength at all.”
After Lu Buwei received the news from Han Kingdom, he did not go to Ying Zheng immediately. Instead, he waited until the dissatisfaction of most of the ministers in the court reached a high point before he went to Zhangtai Palace to pay a visit to Ying Zheng.
This rumor came so quickly. It must have been done by the Han people! Didn't this mean that the Han people didn't dare to let Ran Xiu stay in Han anymore?”
When Ying Zheng first heard about Ran Xiu's actions in Xinzheng, he was indeed disappointed. However, after thinking about it carefully, he understood that this was a scheme of the Han Kingdom. Although he did not know what Ran Xiu had done in Han Kingdom, Ying Zheng's confidence in Ran Xiu had increased greatly based on Han Kingdom's attitude.
Lu Buwei had tasted the benefits of power. He did not want to return the power to Ying Zheng, but when Ying Zheng came of age, he had no choice but to do so.
Therefore, Lu Buwei wanted to plant more of his own people in the imperial court, and at the same time, he didn't want any of Ying Zheng's useful people to enter the imperial court. In this way, even if Ying Zheng became an adult and took charge of the government, Lu Buwei would still be able to keep his power.
If not for the fact that the bet proposed by Ying Zheng was too tempting, Lu Buwei would never have agreed to let Ran Xiu become an envoy.
Therefore, after Lu Buwei received the news, he decided that he couldn't let Ran Xiu stay any longer. However, he did not expect that the king of Qin would not be angry because of this. Instead, he saw through the deeper meaning behind it. This was going to be difficult.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else? Are you afraid that you'll lose the bet?" Ying Zheng had seen through Lu Buwei's thoughts, so how could he let him have his way?
"Lord Mountain Ghost is one of the top experts of our Yin-Yang School. The two madams beside him are also experts of the Yin-Yang School. Although the Prime Minister has some people, he still can't deal with them.”
"The Yin-Yang School is really full of talents! In your opinion, Ran Xiu can do it.”Ying Zheng looked at the Moon Goddess. He still felt a little uneasy.
"Lord Hillghost never speaks without thinking.”Even though the Moon Goddess didn't know much about Ran Xiu, her astrology told her that Han would fall within three months. Thus, Ran Xiu naturally did what he promised.
"As long as it is successful, I will definitely not go back on my word regarding the alliance with the Yin-Yang School.”After receiving the Moon Goddess's affirmative answer, Ying Zheng also made his own promise.
"Yes." Yueshen nodded and left, returning to the Yin-Yang School to report to Donghuang Taiyi.
"Ran Xiu, regardless of whether he can do it or not, we can't let him live.”After Lu Buwei returned to the Prime Minister's residence, his expression was extremely gloomy. If Ran Xiu really succeeded, it would save the State of Qin a lot of manpower and resources.
However, Lu Buwei was not willing to see Ran Xiu take the credit for destroying Korea. Thus, he would rather spend some of the country's power to destroy Korea than let Ran Xiu live.
"Order the Eight Petites to eliminate Ran Xiu.”Lu Buwei was determined to kill this time.

"Lord Ran, what do you think of Hong Lian?”After a moment of silence, Han Fei suddenly raised an unexpected question.
"Princess Red Lotus is a national beauty and a rare beauty. Her personality is also not bad. It's just that she has been spoiled by King Han and your brothers, so she's a little unruly and willful.”Ran Xiu didn't understand why Han Fei asked this question, but he still told him his feelings about the Red Lotus.
"Lord Ran, since you advised me to enter Qin, then we can be considered friends!”Han Fei suddenly stared at Ran Xiu.
"Hey, what you said really makes me sad!”Han Fei didn't expect Ran Huiqi to answer him like this, but it didn't matter.
"Forget it. Even if you don't treat me as a friend, can you promise me that you will protect Hong Lian for the rest of her life?”Han Fei's words shocked Ran Xiu. Han Fei was not a passive person, neither from his own observation nor his memory. Ran Xiu did not expect Han Fei to say that.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not admitting defeat to you. Although the situation is not favorable for me now, it doesn't mean that I can't break out of the situation. However, even if I didn't want to, Red Lotus would still fall into the trap.
I have to think about Hong Lian. Otherwise, with her personality, she will definitely suffer. And marrying you might be a good choice.”Han Fei suddenly became energetic again. He slapped the table and glared at Ran Xiu.
"You should know what kind of person I am. You entrusted Red Lotus to me.”Ran Xiu didn't care about Han Fei's gaze and continued to drink by himself.
"I didn't want to either. However, who asked Hong Lian to fall in love with you at first sight!”Han Fei almost shouted the last sentence. He really didn't understand what was so good about Ran Xiu. He already had three beauties with him, but Red Lotus still fell in love with him at first sight.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?!”The door was suddenly opened. Hong Lian stood at the door with a red face. Violet Girl, White, Black, and Yan Lingji were all at the side.
