No one in the Palace of Sweet Spring had expected Gao Jianli to suddenly launch an attack.
Ying Zheng did not even have the time to react.
Seeing that Gao Jianli was about to throw out the pillar and smash it onto Ying Zheng, Meng Yi was the first to react.
He drew his sword and slashed at Mu Zhu, trying to stop him.
What Meng Yi never expected was that when he swung his sword down, he couldn't cut the wooden building.
It was as if it had struck steel, and a crisp "Dang" sound rang out.
However, Meng Yi's sword was also extremely powerful. Although the wooden building was not cut in half, it was shattered. Immediately, a large number of heavy lead pieces shot out in all directions.
"Ah!"
The lead pieces flew out, and a small piece of it hit Ying Zheng's forehead. Under the pain, Ying Zheng flew into a rage.
"Traitor, how dare you!"
After saying that, he drew out the Sword of the Emperor Qin and rushed forward, piercing Gao Jianli's heart.
Gao Jianli did not even have time to scream before he fell into a pool of blood.
His wide eyes indicated his unwillingness before his death.
Gao Jianli had endured the humiliation to get close to Ying Zheng, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him and complete the unfinished business of his good friend Jing Ke.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when Gao Jianli was executed.
Ying Zheng, with a head full of blood, was standing in the main hall with the Sword of Qin Emperor in his hand.
"Quickly pass on the imperial physician's order!"
After giving a loud shout, Meng Yi stepped forward, looked at Ying Zheng nervously and said,"
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Ying Zheng's entire body was overflowing with killing intent as he stared coldly at Gao Jianli's corpse.
"We deserve ten thousand deaths. Your Majesty, please punish us!”
Li Si and the others also knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness.
A moment later, Ying Zheng said,"
"I'm fine. Get up!"
However, Ying Zheng's face did not look too good. A small lead block had broken his forehead.
If Meng Yi had not acted in time, Ying Zheng would not have dared to imagine what would have happened if that wooden building weighing dozens of jin had smashed into his head.
Ying Zheng looked around and asked coldly,"
"I want to know how this traitor hid dozens of catties of lead blocks in the building and brought them to me.”
"Li Si, tell me!"
Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Li Si. His cold eyes made his heart tremble.
Li Si was dumbfounded. Everything had happened too quickly.
Li Si couldn't figure out what was going on, but he didn't dare not answer Ying Zheng's question, so he knelt down and said,"
"This humble subject is guilty. This humble subject saw that Your Majesty has been quite depressed recently, so I hope to use this thief's skill to relieve Your Majesty's worries.”
Li Si paused for a moment before continuing,"
"But this subject never expected that this thief would actually hide such a heavy lead block in the building and attempt to assassinate Your Majesty.”
"I deserve to die."
Li Si wished he could tear Gao Jianli into pieces and grind his bones into ashes.
At this moment, everyone in the hall was looking at Ying Zheng, wondering how he would deal with this matter.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Meng Yi's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly warned.
Ying Zheng was stunned, not knowing what had happened. Suddenly, he felt his hand become lighter.
He turned around and saw an unforgettable scene.
He saw Gao Jianli, who should have died, brandishing the Sword of the Emperor Qin and slashing at him.
At such a close distance, Ying Zheng could even see Gao Jianli's entire face clearly.
At this moment, Gao Jianli's eyes were as black as ink, and black lines appeared on his face. Those should be his blood vessels, Ying Zheng thought.
All of this happened too quickly and too suddenly. Gao Jianli, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly rose up, snatched the Sword of the King of Qin from Ying Zheng's hand, and then slashed at Ying Zheng.
Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at everything in disbelief. Blood flowed out.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
By the time the crowd reacted, the Sword of the King of Qin in Gao Jianli's hand had already hacked at Ying Zheng's body.
Meng Yi pulled out his sword and quickly stepped forward. With a swing of his sword, Gao Jianli's head soared into the sky.
Black blood spurted out.
Zhao Gao stepped forward, hurriedly held Ying Zheng and shouted anxiously,"
"Quickly pass on the imperial physician's order!"
"Quickly pass on the imperial physician's order!"
At this moment, Ying Zheng's clothes were in tatters, and a long wound had appeared on his chest. His face was filled with shock.
Pushing Zhao Gao away, Ying Zheng stretched his body, then heaved a sigh of relief.
Although the wound on his chest was hideous, his injuries were not serious. It was only a superficial wound.
At this moment, a few imperial physicians hurried to the Palace of Sweet Spring. When they saw Ying Zheng, who was covered in blood, they were instantly shocked.
He hurriedly went forward to bandage his wound.
Ying Zheng stared at Gao Jianli's corpse furiously.
He turned his head and stared at Li Si. If it were not for the last bit of rationality left in him, Ying Zheng would have already killed Li Si with a single sword strike.
Seeing Li Si's terrified look and thinking about his achievements over the years, Ying Zheng ultimately decided not to make a move on him.
"Chief Justice Li Si, you have committed the crime of not investigating and led an assassin into the palace!”
"I'll remove all my duties now. After this matter is investigated, I'll deal with it.”
Hearing Ying Zheng's cold voice, Li Si felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
