It was night.
The news that Zhao Ji was going to listen to the government from behind the curtain instantly spread among the higher-ups of the State of Qin.
Empress Dowager Hua Yang, the relatives of the Chu Country, the nobles of the Qin Country, and the important officials were all discussing this matter.
However, most people did not have any resistance.
Instead, he thought that it was a good thing.
It had been less than four months since Ying Zheng ascended the throne, but Lu Buwei's power had already increased by several times. He used his identity as the prime minister to suppress dissidents, formed cliques and won the hearts of the people, and used a net to connect with the six dynasties and hundreds of schools. His power was increasing day by day, and it had only been a moment since he had gained power in the court.
How could anyone who wasn't of the Lu Clan not be in danger? How could those loyal to the King of Qin not be angry?
Now, in the Imperial Court, Ying Zheng was about to become a puppet!
All matters, big or small, required Minister Lyu's approval.
Zhongfu!
Zhongfu!
Did Lu Buwei really think that he was Ying Zheng's father?
It was only on the surface that people could not find any mistakes in etiquette.
But in private, no matter what happened, how could he feel comfortable?!
Now that Lady Zhao had stepped forward, she had sent word through Wang Jian and the others that she intended to curb Lu Buwei's development.
This made many officials look forward to the confrontation between Lady Zhao and Lu Buwei.
The king of the world!
Officials couldn't directly defy the orders of the Emperor, but if Lady Zhao spoke, they would naturally have an excuse.
Most importantly, although Lu Buwei was respected by Ying Zheng as his second father, he was not as important as his mother, Lady Zhao. During the ten-odd years when he was a hostage in Zhao State, Lady Zhao had accompanied him step by step.
The bond between mother and son was not something a mere Lu Buwei could compare to.
…………
In Minister Lu's residence.
As the news spread, the atmosphere here was low and depressing.
Lu Buwei's expression was extremely gloomy. He looked at the man in black kneeling on the ground and said coldly,""Ji, go and ask Xia Ning. Ask him to find out more about Zhao Ji. Also, ask him to tell me why Zhao Ji did such an abnormal thing!”
"Yes!" A cold voice sounded.
Swoosh!
His figure instantly disappeared.
The space in front of Lu Buwei also became empty. He looked coldly at the empty courtyard, as if he was deep in thought or waiting for something.
Very quickly.
Another black shadow slowly appeared. It looked like a woman, but it was hidden in the dark and her clothes could not be seen clearly.
"Has there been any activity in Lady Zhao's chambers recently? Did Xia Ning do anything?" Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes.
"There's no movement in the palace. That Xia Ning and Zhao Ji have been partying every night and there's nothing unusual.”Under the moonlight, a cold voice sounded.
It was obvious that this person was a net killer that Lu Buwei had planted in Lady Zhao's bedroom.
"What do you think of Xia Ning?" Lu Buwei asked.
" He doesn't seem to have any ambition. He is usually gentle and approachable, but I have a vague feeling that he is hiding something. Usually, he is always on Concubine Zhao's phoenix bed. I can't get close to him…" The woman said in a low voice. At the same time, she handed over a letter. On it was a record of Xia Ning and Concubine Zhao's daily actions, and even the details of what they did every hour.
" Feng Ta…" Lu Buwei glanced at the letter and said without raising his head,""It's normal to have some secrets. Who doesn't have secrets in this world? What I care about is whether he can be used by me.”
"No." the woman said in a low voice.
" Hmm…" Lu Buwei raised his head and looked into the distance."Go, continue to monitor. If that Xia Ning makes any moves, kill her.”
"Yes."
The woman's figure disappeared.
At the same time, several figures appeared in Minister Lu's residence.
A murderous intent instantly rose.
They were the real killers of the Network, and also the foundation of the Network that could intimidate the martial world-the Six Sword Slaves!
However, this had nothing to do with women.
Her figure was like a ghost as she entered the Qin palace in an instant. She flew past the eaves and arrived at Lady Zhao's bedroom.
The entire bedroom was silent.
Only the whistling of the wind could be heard.
The woman looked at where Lady Zhao was with a complicated expression and sighed. She turned around and returned to her room. This was a room that only maids could have. Only one person could have a room to themselves.
Little Qing!
" Xia Ning…" After Little Qing entered the room, she shook her head slightly. She had actually concealed some information. After Xia Ning brought Lady Zhao to the Phoenix Tower today, Lady Zhao immediately changed her attitude and summoned Wang Jian, Meng Ao, and Feng Quji.
If this change had nothing to do with Xia Ning, then there would be a problem.
However, for some reason, Little Green did not say it.
Perhaps…
It was because of that long face, or perhaps it was because he had been calling her 'Sister Xiaoqing' for three months.
Phew...
A gust of cold wind blew.
Qing Zhu walked over and closed the door. She had just turned her head when her face suddenly turned pale.
It was because there was a figure on the couch looking at her silently.
Her phoenix eyes were filled with smiles.
"I wonder if I should call you Sister Little Qing or…Frightening Salamander?”
