Huanzhicheng was struck dizzy by the slap. Blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. He lowered his head, not daring to look into his foster father's eyes.
"I know I was wrong. Godfather, please calm down."
The official lowered his head, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
"I'm doing this for your own good. If I act rashly, I'll only lose my life in vain.”
"In the future, unless it's a major event, you must never come to see our family again.”
"Do you still remember the story that Godfather told you about the King of Yue, Gou Jian, who endured hardships and tasted gall?”
Zhao Gao stretched out his white and slender fingers and stroked the purple-red fingerprints on the Official Deputy's face.""Does it still hurt?"
"Your child is not in pain. Your child understands foster father's painstaking efforts and will definitely pass it on to the brothers.”the official said.
"You're worth teaching."
"Has anything major happened in the palace recently?”
Zhao Gao's expression was calm as he walked back to the wooden couch. With the help of the Official Official, he slowly sat down.
The official began to massage Zhao Gao's shoulders with both hands.""Other than Zhao Xi suppressing our brothers, nothing major has happened in the palace. However, Gongzi Hai has been looking for us to inquire about Godfather's whereabouts. However, His Majesty has already given the order to keep our mouths shut, so we don't dare to gossip.”
"Well done."
"Sigh! Such a good child. It was a pity to fail at the last step.”
"Now that I've lost my power, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me to regain the emperor's favor.”
"Being trapped here, we can only rely on you to maintain the information outside.”
"You must be careful and not reveal any flaws.”
Zhao Gao was extremely melancholic at first, then he reminded her with a solemn expression.
"Father, don't worry. I understand."
Eunuch Cheng massaged Zhao Gao's shoulders for a while and knocked on Zhao Gao's back for a while.
"It's getting late. Go back and report!”
"Don't let Zhao Xi become suspicious. You're a hidden chess piece that our family has deliberately and painstakingly buried beside him.”
"Begin your mission!"
Zhao Gao pushed away the official's hand, then stood up and smiled at him.
"I don't dare."
The official lowered his head and did not move forward.
"Stupid. Godfather slapped you just now to put on an act.”
"Why do you care about small things when you achieve great things?"
"It's just a little physical pain. Godfather won't blame you.”
"Do it…"
Zhao Gao first lectured, then shouted.
"Godfather, your son has offended you."
The Official Deputy immediately knelt down and saluted Zhao Gao before standing up.
Zhao Gao's painful howls and vicious curses immediately sounded in the small house.
The door opened, and the fingerprints on Official Cheng's face were clearly visible. He left Ganquan Palace with a few servants.
The Palace Master of Sweet Spring Palace walked to the front of the small house and looked at Zhao Gao, whose nose was swollen and his clothes were dirty and bloody. He revealed a mocking smile and then gloated and left happily.
Zhao Gao slowly got up from the ground, moaning in pain.
Little bastard, you're really ruthless!
He limped to the wooden bench and slowly lay down. Zhao Gao was in so much pain that his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted.
Your Majesty!
There was no time for Zhao Gao!
Since His Majesty was the first to be disloyal, then don't blame Zhao Gaoxing for being disloyal.
The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
People's hearts were the most fickle in this world, so it was better to be early than late.
Zhao Gao slowly closed his eyes and lay on the lonely wooden couch. He began to think.
……
"Your Majesty is overjoyed!"
Zhao Xi walked into the Palace of Peaceful Heaven with a big smile on his face. Looking at Ying Zheng who was reading the memorials, he cupped his hands and bowed.
"Where did the joy come from?"
Ying Zheng's pen moved like a dragon and snake as he focused on reading the memorials.
"Xu Fu and the necromancers combined the formula given by His Majesty and successfully concocted powerful black gunpowder.”
" Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Zhao Xi had been waiting for this news. After receiving this good news, he immediately ran all the way to report the good news to His Majesty.
Ying Zheng's body stiffened for a moment, and the pen in his hand came to a halt.
Throwing down the brush, Ying Zheng stood up and walked down from the throne,""Transfer to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets."
"Yes."
Zhao Xi immediately ran out and ordered people to prepare the carriage.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was secretly established by His Majesty not long ago. It was located in the underground palace of Mount Li.
Ying Zheng sat on the imperial carriage, and the mighty army drove out of Xianyang City, heading straight for Mount Li.
At this moment, all the main roads around Mount Li were heavily guarded.
When Ying Zheng's imperial chariot arrived, the soldiers guarding the gate all saluted him and opened the gate to let him pass, not daring to stop him for even a moment.
Arriving at the entrance of the underground palace on Mount Li, Ying Zheng stepped down from his imperial carriage.
Looking at the heavily guarded tunnel, Ying Zheng's mind was in turmoil.
This was his underground kingdom a hundred years later. Everyone had their own selfish motives, and he was no exception.
Facing an unknown death, even someone as powerful as himself would feel fear and respect.
His Imperial Mausoleum had been under construction for more than twenty years, but he had yet to complete half of the design.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The soldiers shouted at the same time.
Ying Zheng's thoughts were pulled back, and he said with a serious expression,""No need for formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The armored soldiers shouted again and stood straight, like immortal guards standing on both sides of the tunnel.
Passing by the armored soldiers, Ying Zheng led Zhao Xi and a few personal guards into the tunnel.
The underground palace was connected to Mount Li by chiseled mountain rocks. It was indestructible and could only be destroyed by destroying Mount Li.
The long tunnel was dozens of meters long, and the stone walls on both sides of the tunnel were lit by lamps.
The tunnel was a slope that slowly descended. If one did not know that the underground palace was built downward, it would be difficult to notice that it was winding down.
After walking through the passageway, they arrived in front of a huge stone door. There were three bold and powerful words engraved on it: Life and Death Door.
Zhao Xi quickly came to the stone door and pressed on the stone door without any order. Then, he took out two white objects with strange shapes and directly stabbed them into the eyes of the Mystic Bird carved on the stone door.
He turned it with force, and a loud boom could be heard. The metal gears turned, the chains creaked, and the boulders roared.
The heavy stone door slowly rose after Zhao Xi pulled out the key.
What entered his eyes was a huge underground palace that stretched as far as the eye could see.
