Ying Zheng ordered Guan Yu to kill the eunuch who was spying on him with a single slash of his saber. The palace guards under the control of the Empress Dowager and Lu Buwei were all frightened by Guan Yu's murderous aura and didn't dare to interfere.
They could only clean up the scene while reporting to the higher-ups.
Soon, the news reached Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei was kneeling in front of the table. The candlelight flickered, illuminating his dark expression.
"Where did Ying Zheng find such a brave warrior?”
Lu Buwei was shocked and uneasy.
The death of a eunuch was nothing, but the information behind this was extremely terrifying.
Ying Zheng had mastered a power that Lu Buwei did not know about!
And this force only listened to Ying Zheng, and it was decisive and powerful.
If this power was used against him, Lu Buwei would not be able to sleep at night.
"No!"
"We can't continue to let it go!"
Lu Buwei's expression changed. He stood up abruptly and gave the order to the guest.
"Take my token and inform Lao Ai!”
"Ask Lao Ai to speak to the Empress Dowager, and ask her to come forward and order Ying Zheng to hand over his guards and go to the ancestral temple to reflect on his mistakes!”
……
Lu Buwei's order was quickly transmitted to the palace.
A tall eunuch without a beard and eyebrows sat up in fear when he received Lu Buwei's order.
"What?!"
"Ying Zheng, this little brat, actually has such a brave warrior by his side!”
"No! If Ying Zheng finds out about my identity…"
This tall 'eunuch' was none other than Lao Ai.
He was originally a commoner, but because of his 'extraordinary talent,' he was chosen by Lu Buwei. He shaved his beard and eyebrows, pretended to be a eunuch, and was sent to the palace to be presented to Empress Dowager Zhao for pleasure.
With his 'special abilities', Lao Ai had won Lady Zhao's favor and caused chaos in the palace.
Now that Lao Ai had received Lu Buwei's order, he dared not hesitate at all. He immediately leaped up anxiously and rushed to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Soon, Lao Ai arrived at Empress Dowager Zhao's bedchamber and entered it without any hindrance.
Lao Ai, you came at the right time."
"Today, I was angered to death by Ying Zheng!”
"Come and comfort me!"
On the wide bed, a red curtain fluttered. Lady Zhao's clothes were disheveled, and she moved her head coquettishly as she lifted a corner of the curtain and greeted Lao Ai.
Lao Ai did not have the attitude of a servant. Instead, he stepped into the tent like a master.
……
After a long while, the curtain stopped shaking, and Lao Ai's voice came from the tent.
"Empress Dowager, is there any other secret force around Ying Zheng?”
"Today, a eunuch reported that a strong and mighty man appeared beside Ying Zheng and beheaded my eunuch with a single slash of his blade!”
When Empress Dowager Zhao Ji heard this, she was shocked.
Although she was the Empress Dowager, she had not been in contact with the power of the Qin country for long. She did not know much about the inside story of the royal family.
Thus, Lady Zhao was the same as Lu Buwei. She thought that Guan Yu was a secret force of the Qin royal family and was only loyal to the ruler. Now that Ying Zheng had succeeded to the throne, he was able to control this power.
Lady Zhao looked at Lao Ai beside her, as well as his 'gifted nature', and knew that she could not let this go on.
"Prime Minister Lu Buwei, do you have any plans to tell you?”
Lady Zhao turned her eyes and asked Lao Ai.
Lao Ai did not shy away, but took out Lu Buwei's token and handed it to Lady Zhao.
Lao Ai knew very well that although he was sent to the palace by Lu Buwei, his foundation was still Lady Zhao. Therefore, he did not hide anything from her.
After reading Lu Buwei's token carefully, Lady Zhao was delighted.
"This plan is not bad!"
"I am Ying Zheng's biological mother. I order him to hand over the power around him and go to the ancestral temple to fast and guard the spirit for my father for three months.”
Zhao Ji's expression changed. She turned around and walked out of the tent. She ordered someone to write an order and bring the Empress Dowager's seal.
"Pa!"
A hint of joy appeared on Lady Zhao's face as the Empress Dowager's bright red seal was placed on it.
"At the court meeting tomorrow, I will read out this order in front of all the officials!”
"Ying Zheng must take filial piety into consideration, and cannot refute, so he can only go to the ancestral temple to guard the spirit!”
"As long as Ying Zheng disappears in front of the ministers for three months, the blessing of the God of Wei River and the ancient Xuanyuan Sword will all be forgotten!”
Lu Buwei's plan was indeed vicious.
As the King of Qin who had just ascended the throne, if Ying Zheng did not show his face in front of his ministers for three months, it would be difficult for him to establish any authority.
When Lady Zhao and Lao Ai read the order written on silk, they were overjoyed. They exchanged a glance and smiled, then intertwined with each other and fell back into the tent.
……
Outside Xianyang City, Wei River.
As soon as Mo Xuan walked around the entire Weishui River, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He extended his divine sense and entered the palace, immediately discovering the plan of Lady Zhao and the others to deal with Ying Zheng.
"What a vicious woman!"
" Lao Ai, what a good one!"
Mo Xuan's divine sense saw through Lady Zhao's order and the perfunctory act behind the curtain. He was instantly furious.
Boom!
The Wei River suddenly surged up, roaring and surging. It seemed to have the power to collapse mountains and split the earth. The flood was like a crazy dragon that wanted to devour people!
The people on both sides of the river were extremely shocked. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"River God of Weishui River, calm down!"
"Spiritual Venerable, please calm down!"
"The king is ordering the craftsmen of Xianyang to hurry over and build a temple for the Spiritual Venerable!”
"As long as the temple is built, we will burn incense every day and worship sincerely!”
Hearing the prayers of the commoners on both banks of Weishui River, Mo Xuan's fury disappeared instantly.
He would not vent his anger on the people on both banks of the Wei River for people like Lady Zhao and Lao Ai.
Crash!
The surging Weishui River suddenly calmed down.
The commoners on both sides of the river were surprised and delighted.
Everyone prostrated on the ground and kowtowed.
"Weishui Spiritual Venerable has shown his power!"
"Thank you, Spiritual Venerable, for your kindness and protection!"
……
Mo Xuan didn't care about this. Instead, he gathered his consciousness and awakened the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
Shua!
In the palace of Xianyang, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl in Ying Zheng's bosom suddenly trembled, then released a faint light and floated in the air.
"Ying Zheng!"
Mo Xuan's majestic voice came from the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
Upon hearing Mo Xuan's call, Ying Zheng's spirit was instantly lifted, and he bowed respectfully to the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
"The Spirit Paragon has summoned me.”
Mo Xuan didn't waste any more time, and directly told Ying Zheng about Lady Zhao's order. At the same time, he reminded him again,"
"You can personally bring some people to make a trip to Lady Zhao's chambers.”
"Lao Ai is currently on Lady Zhao's bed!”
