As he thought about this, Ying Zheng immediately prepared to carry out the second step of his plan. He casually placed the written posthumous edict on the table, and returned to his bed to continue pretending to be ill!
"Cough cough!"
Ying Zheng was lying on the bed, coughing with an ugly face, pretending to be extremely weak!
Zhao Gao immediately went up to him and said,
"Your Majesty! Rest well, this old servant will boil some medicine for His Majesty!”
Ying Zheng raised his hand weakly. After sending Zhao Gao away, his face turned cold and stern. He looked at the tightly shut door of the palace and snorted coldly in his heart,
"It's all thanks to the Longevity Extending Pill that I obtained from the historical live broadcast room! If not for this Longevity Extending Pill, I'm afraid I would really have died!”
Ying Zheng's feeble look was all an act!
Because the moment he returned to the Great Qin Empire, Ying Zheng had given him a Longevity Extending Pill!
Although he could still sense that there was something wrong with his body after eating the pill, it was much better than before!
In order to test whether Zhao Gao would really usurp the throne after his death like what he had seen in the live broadcast, Ying Zheng had already come up with an idea before he returned to the Great Qin Empire!
The posthumous edict that he had issued in front of Zhao Gao was only the first step of his plan!
Now that the time was ripe, it was time to make the second step of the plan!
"That unfilial son Huhai should be here soon, right?”
As Ying Zheng thought about this, he immediately closed his eyes and lay down on the bed, pretending to die!
After a while, Huhai followed Ying Zheng's instructions in the mysterious space and arrived at the palace. Seeing that there was no one around, he knocked on the door three times!
Ying Zheng's drawn-out voice came from the hall,"
"Come in! Bastard!"
Huhai shrunk his neck and carefully opened the door, then closed it immediately. He walked to Ying Zheng's couch, knelt down in front of Ying Zheng's tower, and said in a trembling voice,
"Father! Your son is here…Please forgive me, father!”
Ying Zheng gave Huhai a sideways glance and said,
"Forgive what? Are you really planning to conspire with Zhao Gao to usurp the throne?”
Huhai's face immediately turned pale. He hurriedly said,
"Your son does not dare! Your son doesn't dare…"
Ying Zheng gave a cold snort, then immediately closed his eyes, no longer looking at Huhai.
"Let's act according to the plan!"
Huhai lowered his head and said,"
Looking at the time, Zhao Gao should be bringing the medicine over very soon!
Huhai knelt in front of Ying Zheng's bed, looking at the motionless Ying Zheng with his eyes closed, and started to brew his emotions!
As a sound came from outside the door, Huhai knew that it was Zhao Gao. He quickly sobbed and cried,
"Wuwuwu! Father! Father!"
Zhao Gao, who had opened the door of the palace, was stunned. Seeing Huhai kneeling in front of Ying Zheng's couch and crying, he did not understand what was going on, so he quickly walked over with a bowl of medicine and said,
"Young Master Huhai? When did you come? How did you offend His Majesty?"
Huhai had always been stubborn and mischievous. Therefore, when he saw Huhai kneeling in front of Ying Zheng's couch and crying, Zhao Gao thought that Huhai had done something to anger Ying Zheng.
Huhai turned around and said with tears in his eyes,
"Wuwuwu! Lord Prefect! My Imperial Father has passed away! Father!"
Zhao Gao was shocked!
The soup in his hand fell to the ground. He stared at Huhai in disbelief and said,
"What did you say?"
Without waiting for Huhai's reply, Zhao Gao quickly walked to Ying Zheng's couch and called out softly,
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
He called out a few times, but Ying Zheng, who was lying on the bed, did not respond at all!
He didn't even say anything!
Zhao Gao was instantly terrified. He tentatively stretched out a finger to feel Ying Zheng's breath, but Ying Zheng, who was lying on the bed, was not breathing at all!
Zhao Gao was immediately shocked, and the good things Ying Zheng had done for him over the years flashed across his mind. Sadness welled up in his heart, and he knelt down beside Huhai with a thud, crying,
"Your Majesty! The old servant left for such a short time! You…How did you die? Your Majesty! It's this old servant who didn't take good care of you!"
Huhai looked at Zhao Gao, who was kneeling beside him and crying bitterly, in slight astonishment, thinking that his acting was quite realistic. Could it be that Zhao Gao had sensed that he and Ying Zheng were acting?
Or was everything he saw in the mysterious space fake?
Ying Zheng, who was lying on the bed and pretending to be dead, was also puzzled!
He thought,
"Did I misunderstand Zhao Gao? Impossible! He had truly brought back the Longevity Extending Pill and the Waterwheel Blueprint to Great Qin! There is no need for immortals to deliberately create illusions to deceive me…"
" It must be that bastard Huhai's acting is too fake…"
Just as Ying Zheng and Huhai were lost in their own thoughts, Zhao Gao, who had been crying, suddenly stopped crying. Then, he stood up from beside Huhai, looked at the confused Huhai, and said,
"Young Master, please wait! This old servant has something to tell Young Master!"
After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he hurriedly walked to the door and gently closed it!
Huhai's heart thumped!
He knew that the critical moment was coming!
Ying Zheng, who was lying on the bed, snorted coldly in his heart. At this moment, Ying Zheng was completely disappointed in Zhao Gao, and he was just waiting for Zhao Gao to reveal his true colors!
At this moment, Zhao Gao had already found the posthumous edict that Ying Zheng had written earlier on the table. He walked quickly to Huhai and presented it to him, saying,
"Young Master, please take a look! This is the posthumous edict that His Majesty had previously issued!”
Huhai looked at the posthumous edict in Zhao Gao's hand in surprise, then wiped away the tears on his face. He pretended to be confused and asked Zhao Gao,
"Lord Prefect Ling, what…what did Imperial Father say in the posthumous edict?”
Zhao Gao stared at Huhai with a face full of regret,
"Young Master! His Majesty actually appointed Eldest Young Master Fu Su as the Crown Prince! Let the Eldest Young Master inherit the throne!"
Huhai pretended to be shocked and opened the posthumous edict. He glanced at it briefly, then pretended to be disappointed. He lowered his head and sighed.
“欸! What else could he do? It's better to follow Imperial Father's posthumous edict and let Eldest Young Master succeed the throne…"
Hearing Huhai's disheartened words, Zhao Gao thought that Huhai was afraid of Ying Zheng's power, so he immediately grabbed Huhai's hands and said solemnly,
"Young Master! Could it be that you're willing? As long as Young Master wants it, this old servant has a way to let Young Master inherit the throne!”
"What is it?"
Huhai asked with his eyes wide open.
Zhao Gao looked around sneakily, then stared into Huhai's eyes and said seriously,
"Tampering with the edict! Young Master, you will inherit the throne!"
