"What happened in the palace?”
"Why did the king suddenly banish the empress dowager into the cold palace of Yong City?!”
Although Lu Buwei had thought of something, he didn't want to believe it.
"Hey!"
"It's all because of the Empress Dowager."
Wang Wan sighed and then said,"The Empress Dowager committed adultery with a servant and gave birth to two younger brothers for the king. The king happened to see it."”
Lu Buwei was confused by Wang Wan's words.
The Empress Dowager actually gave birth to two illegitimate children?!
This news exploded in Lu Buwei's heart like a bomb.
"If we send the Empress Dowager into Yong City, wouldn't the court be in chaos?!”
"None of the officials in the court know about this.”
"I only found out by accident.”
"Presumably, the news of the Empress Dowager being banished to Yong City will soon spread.”
Wang Wan shook her head with a complicated expression.
Hearing this, Lu Buwei fell into deep thought and started to worry.
Because in that instant, he suddenly understood a lot.
He finally understood why Lao Ai had risen to the position of Marquis Changxin.
He finally understood why Empress Dowager Zhao Ji suddenly moved to Yong City a few years ago.
It turned out that the reason for all this was because Lady Zhao wanted to give birth to Lao Ai's bastard!
But this was great.
Not only was he exposed, but he was also caught red-handed by Ying Zheng.
Fortunately, Lao Ai was already dead.
Otherwise, he would have to bear Ying Zheng's endless fury!
Thinking of it this way, Lao Ai had gotten off easy.
Lu Buwei was worried about himself.
After all, he was the one who had sent Lao Ai to Lady Zhao, so that she would not be bored in the harem.
But who would have thought that she would give birth to two younger brothers for Ying Zheng?
"Did the king do anything else?"
Lu Buwei asked again.
"The two vile spawn were ordered by the king to be cooked. Not only that, but all the maids and attendants in the Ganquan Palace and those who had served the Empress Dowager in recent years were dragged out and beheaded.”
"This time, the king is extremely angry.”
Lu Buwei's heart trembled when he heard Wang Wan's words.
They hadn't even settled the matter here, but something happened here.
Now, it was like a pincer attack from both sides, making Lu Buwei unable to breathe.
"Lord Prime Minister, quickly enter the palace to see the king.”
"As the king's second father, I'm afraid the king is the only one who listens to you.”
Wang Wan looked worried.
Although he was Lu Buwei's disciple, his heart was still attached to Ying Zheng and Great Qin.
No matter what, he was always thinking for Great Qin.
"This Prime Minister will make a trip to the palace now."
Lu Buwei gritted his teeth.
It was a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that could not be avoided.
He couldn't possibly stay in the Prime Minister's residence forever, right?
Moreover, it was not necessarily safe to stay in the Prime Minister's Residence.
Now, what Lu Buwei needed to do was to enter the palace and find out what Ying Zheng was up to.
As long as Ying Zheng did not know that this matter was related to him, Lu Buwei, he would be at ease.
"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Prime Minister!"
Wang Wan cupped his hands and bowed.
Very quickly.
Lu Buwei rode the carriage to the Imperial Palace.
.........
.........
In the Imperial Palace.
Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng was sitting in the palace, his face solemn.
There were many people standing in the court. High General Meng Ao, Weiyang Lord Ying He, Changping Lord Mi Qi, and many other officials were present.
However, the entire court was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, Lord Prime Minister is on his way. Can we wait for him to arrive before making a decision?!”
Ying Mo took a step forward and said.
"I hope Your Majesty will reconsider. After all, she is the Empress Dowager of Great Qin!”
"Your Majesty, if this matter were to spread out, I'm afraid that it would cause an even greater commotion than that Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai!!”
"Yes, I hope Your Majesty will reconsider!"
The rest of the ministers also voiced their opinions.
"This is my last warning."
"If anyone dares to pardon the Empress Dowager again, drag them out and behead them!”
Ying Zheng's voice echoed throughout the entire imperial court.
His face was filled with coldness, and his gaze swept across everyone like a cold sword.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent again, not daring to say another word.
"Prime Minister has arrived!"
At this moment.
The eunuch outside the hall suddenly shouted.
The ministers inside heaved a sigh of relief.
Now that Xiang Bang was here, they could at least rest assured.
After all, Ying Zheng could ignore the advice of any of them, but Xiang Bang was his second father, and he had to respect him no matter what.
When Lu Buwei stepped into the court, he was shocked to see the officials around him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Then, he bowed and cupped his hands in salute to Ying Zheng.
"Zhongfu, you're here?"
Swoosh!
When Lu Buwei heard Ying Zheng's words, his body trembled slightly.
It was as if a thousand waves had been stirred up in his heart, making it difficult for him to calm down!
Perhaps these words might not mean much to the other officials, but it was different for Lu Buwei.
He spoke the moment Lu Buwei stood up.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Empress Dowager is unpardonable!”
"However, I thought that the Empress Dowager was the King's mother and had experienced all kinds of hardships with the King.”
"So, on account of kinship, doesn't Your Majesty think that this punishment is a little too heavy?!”
After Lu Buwei finished speaking, Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to speak.
None of the ministers dared to make a sound, and they could only watch Lu Buwei's performance quietly.
Fortunately, the king did not refute, which meant that Lu Buwei's advice was more useful than theirs.
A strange ripple suddenly flashed across Ying Zheng's face.
He looked straight at Lu Buwei and asked,"Then what do you want me to do?"”
"Your Majesty, just let the Empress Dowager stay in Ganquan Palace for the rest of her life.”
"After all, what's the difference between Yong City and a prison?”
Lu Buwei secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
From the probing just now, he could tell that Ying Zheng did not know about the relationship between him and Lao Ai.
"Oh?"
"Don't tell me that Zhongfu doesn't know that mother's favorite place is Yong City?”
Suddenly, Ying Zheng released a strong pressure from his body, pressing towards Lu Buwei.
Ever since he came back from Mister Su Mu's place.
He understood a principle.
Only those who had experienced seven levels of loneliness would step onto the king-tier and become a true expert!
Then, Ying Zheng learned everything that had happened in the Palace of Sweet Spring in the past few years.
It was so easy to understand these things. He could just capture a servant girl in Ganquan Palace and torture her.
However, Ying Zheng felt that it was a pity that Lao Ai was already dead.
Otherwise, what would his expression be when he saw his two sons being cooked?
As for the matter between Lu Buwei and Lao Ai, Ying Zheng did not reveal it, because he wanted to play with Zhongfu a little longer.
However, to Ying Zheng's disappointment, Zhongfu was still the same as before, treating himself as a child who knew nothing.
At the same time!
Ying Zheng's desire to govern the country grew stronger.
