At this moment, in the Imperial Court.
The atmosphere was heavy as Li Si stared at Zhao Gao with suspicion.
As Great Qin's Left Prime Minister, even though he was only ranked 11th on the Heaven Rankings, this did not mean that his intelligence was low.
Through Zhao Qiu's words and the information he knew, Li Si was at least 50% sure that Zhao Gao was the one behind all this.
However, Li Si could not think of a good way to inform Zhao Qiu.
After all.
The First Emperor had no intention of announcing Zhao Qiu's identity.
The court session finally ended in a depressing atmosphere. All the officials heaved a sigh of relief.
Especially Zhao Gao.
He felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell.
As soon as the court meeting ended, he immediately sent his men of sacrifice to kill all those who spread the news. Not a single one was left alive!
This way, even if someone wanted to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find any clues!
He was truly ruthless!
Xianyang Palace, Huhai Palace.
Zhao Gao came here and told Huhai about the morning court session.
"Your Highness, Young Master Qiu's intelligence has completely exceeded our expectations.”
" As long as there are any clues, he might speculate that we are instigating the remnants of the six dynasties to assassinate him and sabotage his plan to promote high-yield farming.”
"If the First Emperor finds out about this, I will definitely be beheaded and my entire family will be wiped out!”
"His Highness might not die, but he will definitely be imprisoned by the First Emperor for life and will never be able to take the throne again!”
Zhao Gao's voice was filled with fear towards Zhao Qiu as he spoke to Huhai.
"Then what should we do?"
"Father will announce his identity sooner or later. At that time, nothing can be hidden!”
Huhai said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. All the spies have been executed by this lowly subject.”
"Even if you guessed it, you wouldn't have any evidence.”
"Without evidence, you can't be convicted!”
"As for hostility, hehe."
"Ever since His Highness found out about Young Master Qiu's identity, hasn't our relationship been hostile?”
Zhao Gao said with a smile.
Having followed First Emperor Ying Zheng for many years, Zhao Gao had been used to countless schemes and plots, and had long become extremely cunning!
"Teacher is really thoughtful."
"As long as there's no evidence, even if he guessed that we did it, there's nothing he can do!”
"Our identities were destined to be enemies from the beginning!”
Zhao Gao's words made the nervous Huhai heave a sigh of relief. His eyes were once again filled with a vicious and cold light.
"After these two incidents, Young Master Qiu's suspicions have been raised. It's best if you don't do anything for the time being, in case Zhang Han's Black Ice Platform catches hold of you.”
Zhao Gao reminded Huhai worriedly.
He was afraid that this idiot would send people to kill Zhao Qiu again.
"Teacher, don't worry!" Huhai nodded.
At the same time.
At Zhao Qiu's residence.
Zhang Han and Li Si were both there, discussing how to find the spies.
"Did the internal historian offend anyone before?”Zhang Han looked at Zhao Qiu and asked, hoping to get some useful information from him.
"No, I haven't."
"Before I stepped into Xianyang, I had been living in seclusion in the Land of Dreamy Clouds and didn't have any enemies.”
Zhao Qiu shook his head. He was very sure that he had no enemies before this.
"Perhaps…"
"Not an enemy on the surface, but a potential enemy.”
Li Si could not help but remind him.
Before announcing Zhao Qiu's identity as the eldest son, he could only use these words to remind Zhao Qiu and Zhang Han.
A potential enemy?
Zhao Qiu was a little confused.
But in Zhang Han's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue, causing his pupils to shrink into needles!
As a general, Zhang Han was not as intelligent as Li Si.
However, with Li Si's reminder and the fact that he was one of the people who knew Zhao Qiu's hidden identity, he immediately understood what Li Si meant!
A potential enemy!
Wasn't that a young master from the royal family who wanted to compete for the throne??
"Thank you for your reminder, Prime Minister. I have some clues and will go investigate.”
When Zhang Han heard this, he immediately left.
His actions and expression filled Zhao Qiu with confusion and doubt.
"Lord Prime Minister, General Zhang Han is…?”Zhao Qiu asked in confusion.
"Maybe he found something."
"Lord Marquis, just stay at home and wait for news.”
"Farewell!"
Afraid that Zhao Qiu would notice something was amiss, Li Si also bade farewell and left.
These mysterious looks made Zhao Qiu even more confused!
What potential enemies?
Why didn't I know?
He felt like he was kept in the dark about something!
After Zhang Han received Li Si's reminder, he immediately gathered the members of the Black Ice Platform to investigate.
After his hard work, he was able to find out more.
The members of the Black Ice Platform realized that someone was spreading the news behind the scenes.
But they knew it was too late!
The Black Ice Platform found out that all the people who spread the news were dead, turning into cold corpses.
The dead could not speak at all, and the clues were cut off.
Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng Palace.
Zhang Han reported every detail of the Black Ice Platform's investigation to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng was not too angry after hearing that.
"Sigh!"
"I didn't expect Qiu 'er's identity to attract such a disaster before it was announced.”
"If his identity is announced, he will definitely suffer more assassinations and attacks. We need him to have enough strength to protect himself as soon as possible!”
After hearing Zhang Han's report, Ying Zheng, as the emperor, had a rough idea of what was going on.
Being born into an emperor's family, such a thing was too normal.
Thinking back to the process of him ascending to the throne, he had experienced countless life and death crises and difficulties before he achieved his current hegemony.
Now, high-yield farming had been successfully promoted.
It was time to let him go!
I hope you can give me more surprises this time and protect me better!
Ying Zheng stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back. He made a decision in his heart, and his heart was filled with endless expectations and deep concern for Zhao Qiu.
A father's love was like a mountain!
He was always unknown, but he did his best to protect you!
