In the past two days, Xu Fu had thought a lot.
At this moment, it was no longer important to think about Ying Zheng's motive for sending him to the front line.
The most important thing was how to return alive and how to successfully complete his goal.
Of course, before he set off, he still had a very important thing to do.
Li Manor, Li Si's home.
In the quiet hall, only rhythmic tapping sounds could be heard.
Xu Fu sat opposite Li Si with a chessboard between them.
It had been raining for the entire morning, yet Li Si had not won a single round.
It wasn't that Xu Fu's Go skills were high, but that Li Si's Go skills were so high that Xu Fu couldn't even understand them.
He had even thrown the water without leaving a trace.
"I'm not playing anymore. It's boring." The one who said this was not Xu Fu, but Li Si.
"Imperial Physician Xu's chess skills are too high. Li Si isn't a match for him, and if he continues, it will only hurt his pride.”
Xu Fu found it funny. Don't you think I know what I'm worth?
However, he did not come to the Li residence to mock Li Si. He only played chess to test Li Si's attitude towards him.
He was very satisfied with the results. Li Si indeed thought highly of him and felt that he had a future and was of value.
As long as she was still valuable to him and worthy of Li Si's initiative, it was enough.
"Lord Li, I have a request.”
Li Si smiled.'You're finally going to talk about the main topic.'
"Lord Xu, please instruct me. As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best.”
Xu Fu nodded." Lord Li, you should have heard about the conflict between me and Zhao Gao, right?”
"Yes, I've heard of it." Li Si replied.
"I think you can see the King's fondness for Young Master Huhai.”
Li Si did not say anything and just nodded.
"The conflict between Zhao Gao and I is about who will be Young Master Huhai's teacher.
Lord Li, who do you think is more suitable?”
Li Si thought for a while and said in a deep voice,""Lord Xu and Zhao Gao are not suitable.”
"Oh?" Li Si's answer piqued Xu Fu's interest." What do you mean?”
Li Si sighed." Lord Xu, I won't hide it from you. The king is afraid of you. Do you understand?”
Xu Fu nodded. If not for that, Ying Zheng would not have agreed to Xu Fu's request to go to the front line.
"So is it possible for the king to hand over his most beloved prince to you for guidance? Wouldn't this further strengthen your power?”
As expected of Li Si.
"As for that eunuch Zhao Gao, he's just a petty person who fawns on those in power. Your Majesty is wise, how could you not know?"
"Oh?" Xu Fu was a little suspicious. Was that really the case? He clearly remembered that Huhai's teacher was Zhao Gao.
"Then who is suitable?"
Li Si laughed." It's far away, but it's right in front of us.”
"You?" Xu Fu was a little surprised. This…this was different from what was written in the history books.
Suddenly, Xu Fu was looking forward to Li Si becoming Huhai's teacher.
Then Xu Fu's theory was true.
The general trend of history would not change, but the details could.
Xu Fu couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.
His smile made Li Si feel a little awkward.
"Uh…Lord Xu, do you think I can't do it?”
Xu Fu quickly shook his head." No, no, no. I think you're very good. You're very suitable.”
Li Si immediately beamed and bowed.
"Thank you, Lord Xu, for your appreciation. I will not disappoint you.”
Xu Fu also stood up and lifted Li Si up. He smiled and said,""Lord Li, your official position is clearly higher than mine, but you keep calling me lowly official.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
……
In the afternoon, Xu Fu continued to visit Concubine Zheng as per his usual schedule.
"You're leaving?" Concubine Zheng's stomach was getting bigger and bigger. It was obviously not suitable for her to sit on her knees anymore. She could only lie on the couch.
"Yes." Xu Fu lowered his head and did not look up at Mistress Zheng.
Concubine Zheng pulled her hand back abruptly." What about me and the child?”
Concubine Zheng was really panicking. She didn't care if the words she said were ambiguous or if the maidservant at the side would interpret them differently.
As a mother who had given birth to a child, she naturally understood how dangerous it was to give birth.
She thought that she would feel more at ease with Xu Fu by her side.
If he left, she would be exposed to the uncontrollable risks of giving birth again.
How could he not panic?
Hearing this, Xu Fu frowned.
Then, he felt a little guilty.
"I'm sorry, the king has ordered me to do so.”
"Heh." Concubine Zheng sneered." Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty again. In Your Majesty's heart, am I that inferior to that Hu Ji?”
The personal maid at the side quickly reminded him,"Empress, be careful with your words!"
"Watch your words, watch your words!" Concubine Zheng stood up abruptly and clenched her fists tightly. Tears were rolling in her eyes.
She wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
It could be seen that she was very dissatisfied with the decision made by the King of Qin, Ying Zheng. However, due to her status and situation, she dared not speak out.
"The Empress is pregnant, so it's understandable that she's under a lot of pressure and is emotionally unstable.
However, Your Highness, I still have to remind you to take care of yourself.”
Xu Fu did not get up, nor did he look at her. His head was still lowered.
