After the court, the civil and military officials filed out.
All of them were worried.
Their emperor was too childish.
Even though Lu Xuan felt strange, it was still too much for him to be given the title of Celestial Immortal Marquis and Orchid Pool Palace on their first meeting.
After all, becoming a Marquis in Great Qin was not an easy thing to do.
How many soldiers had fought on the battlefield, gone through hundreds of battles, killed countless enemies, yet they still couldn't be conferred the title of Marquis?
What did this self-proclaimed disciple of an immortal have to make him a marquis?
The Orchid Pool Palace was a palace built by the emperor to seek immortality. It was the residence of the emperor.
Even the princes couldn't live in the Orchid Pool Palace.
And now, it was given to Lu Xuan?
As for the marriage of the Seventh Princess, it was even more ridiculous.
How could the Seventh Princess marry this Lu Xuan of unknown origins?
His own children and grandchildren were so heroic. Why couldn't they marry the princess?
Thinking of this, all the officials shook their heads and sighed.
If such a thing were to spread to the outside world, wouldn't the world laugh at it?
However, the Emperor was currently in high spirits, so who would dare to say anything to stop him?
Only Lu Xuan was in high spirits and extremely excited.
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to maintain the image of an Immortal's disciple, he would probably be grinning from ear to ear.
Li Si watched him leave and frowned slightly.
Where did this kid come from?
He would probably need to investigate further.
……
In Xianyang Palace.
After all the officials had left, Ying Zheng stood in the middle of the hall with a solemn expression, deep in thought. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a long time.
Zhao Gao walked in lightly and bowed.
"Have you checked?"
Ying Zheng asked indifferently.
"Your Majesty, this servant has sent people to investigate. He had suddenly appeared on the streets of Xianyang. No one knew his background.”
The " he " that Zhao Gao mentioned was naturally Lu Xuan.
In this short period of time, Zhao Gao's network had already investigated Lu Xuan's background thoroughly.
Although Qin Shi Huang believed Lu Xuan's words, he couldn't have no doubts.
How could an ancient emperor be so easily fooled?
The inescapable net was everywhere.
The net quickly found the address where Lu Xuan had transmigrated.
However, the clues were cut off and there was no more harvest.
After all, no matter how powerful the Network was, transmigration was not something they could investigate.
"Oh!"
Ying Zheng responded faintly.
There was still no emotion on his face.
Zhao Gao bent over and stood carefully, not even daring to breathe.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and the emperor's prestige is unpredictable.
Even though he had served the First Emperor for many years, he didn't know what the Emperor was thinking.
"Zhao Gao, how much of what Lu Xuan said today is true and how much is false?”
Qin Shihuang's voice suddenly sounded.
Zhao Gao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly bowed and said,""This servant doesn't know and doesn't dare to speak nonsense. However, even though immortals aren't nonsense, they're hard to find…"
He did not continue.
Ying Zheng's sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Zhao Gao's meaning was obvious.
Immortals were hard to find, and one could not determine that Lu Xuan was an immortal just based on his words.
Ying Zheng gave him a deep look.
You haven't seen the scene in the Celestial Artifact. It's definitely not a mortal artifact.
There must be an immortal behind Lu Xuan.
Ying Zheng paced back and forth.
He walked to a sword rack beside the hall.
On it was a peerless divine sword.
The number one sword in the world, Heaven Asking!
"Clang!"
The Tianwen Sword was pulled out by Ying Zheng.
In an instant, the hall was filled with sword light.
Ying Zheng's incomparably sharp gaze was reflected on the blade of the sword.
"Decree, the head of the Shadow Secret Guards, Zhang Han, is here.”
Zhao Gao bowed and retreated.
After a while, Zhang Han, who was wearing battle armor, walked in.
"Your Majesty."
Zhang Han cupped his hands and bowed.
"Mr. Lu is a distinguished guest of Great Qin and my son-in-law. His safety is extremely important and cannot be lost.”
"From today onwards, you must personally lead the Shadow Secret Guards to protect Mister Lu. You must not let anything happen to him.”
Ying Zheng's voice rang out without any emotion.
"Yes!"
Zhang Han said respectfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, a smile suddenly appeared on Ying Zheng's face, giving off a mysterious feeling.
"The secret guards will take turns to guard him day and night. They will watch his every move carefully and tell me in detail.”
Zhang Han reported in his heart.
He was using the name of a guard to monitor them.
That was true.
That Lu Xuan claimed to be the disciple of an Immortal. Why would he need anyone to protect him?
Wasn't the purpose of letting the Shadow Secret Guards guard him to monitor him?
It seemed that although the Emperor had rewarded him heavily and betrothed him to the Princess, he did not trust him completely.
That was true.
How could an emperor act rashly on such a major matter?
How wise was the First Emperor, how could he not be perceptive?
If Lu Xuan was really the disciple of an immortal, he would naturally be rewarded heavily and enjoy endless glory and wealth.
If he wasn't the disciple of an immortal, but used a strange technique to deceive the emperor…
"Understood!"
Zhang Han replied.
