The next day.
The news of the Network had already spread throughout Xianyang.
It also surprised everyone. No one knew who had attacked, nor did anyone know who was targeting the Network.
However, it was rumored that the Network had suffered a great loss this time.
Even the Heaven-level assassins were heavily injured.
Some said it had something to do with the Qin royal family, while others said it had something to do with the one in the harem.
But no matter what.
Lu Buwei's mansion was quiet, as if nothing had happened. The only thing that had changed was that the people scattered in the net no longer needed to gather like they did in Xianyang.
Lu Buwei seemed to have given up completely.
He didn't even try to stop them from listening to the government behind the curtain.
On the contrary, he did not say a word in the court. He only silently watched as Feng Quji jumped out and said something about legal compliance and the young words of the emperor. It seemed that he really did not intend to have any conflict with Zhao Ji.
This was something that even Ying Zheng had not expected.
After the retreat.
Ying Zheng said to Zhao Gao in his bedroom,""Why didn't Zhongfu say anything today?”
He was also one of Ying Zheng's two trusted aides.
Ailizi was the oldest, and Zhao Gao was appreciated because he had been following Ying Zheng ever since he returned to Qin, and he was also proficient in the laws of Qin State. He was very good at observing people's expressions and serving noble people.
Now that Ying Zheng was the King of Qin, Zhao Gao would naturally rise as well.
"Your Majesty, from what I can see, the Prime Minister might not have any objections to the Empress Dowager holding power behind the curtain.”Zhao Gao said carefully," The Empress Dowager is in charge of the government. She can't really affect the overall situation. Even if the Empress Dowager can interfere in the government, she can't really confront the Prime Minister in the court without the support of others."”
"On the other hand, if there is support, then the Prime Minister will know who the enemy is.”
"It's better than being attacked continuously these few days without knowing who the enemy is.”
"I can't say for sure. The Prime Minister is still hoping that the Empress Dowager will soon be in charge of the government.”
It had to be said that Zhao Gao was quite sensitive to the imperial court.
Lu Buwei was planning to do the same. He had gathered his men and colluded with the royal court to prevent the Empress Dowager from sitting behind the curtain.
That was because Zhao Ji threatened his existence.
However, compared to the current crisis, Zhao Ji was nothing.
Lu Buwei urgently needed his opponent to step forward so that he could strike accurately.
He didn't know how to deal with it at all.
Even if he knew Ying Jin, what could he do if Ying Jin stayed in the palace for a long time? What did he dare to do?
"I see." Ying Zheng seemed to be enlightened. He looked in the direction of the Empress Dowager and had some ideas in his mind.
Others couldn't tell.
He, Ying Zheng, had to know that the one who was making Lu Buwei anxious was probably that mister.
Just nice.
It had been a few days since they last met. It was time to meet.
"Follow me to the Empress Dowager's chambers." Ying Zheng said.
"Yes." Zhao Gao quickly led the way.
………………
Concubine Zhao's bedroom.
Regarding the matters of the imperial court, Xia Ning didn't care in the slightest.
It was the general trend to listen to the government behind the curtain, and it was also the price Lu Buwei had to pay for going overboard. If he wanted to dominate the court, he would have to ask Wang Jian, Meng Ao, and the others if they agreed. The reason why they did not step forward was simply because of the situation in the world.
However, with an obvious excuse, they would definitely help Zhao Ji.
However, Lu Buwei's actions made Xia Ning think highly of him.
"Waiting for me to jump out? Heh." He chuckled.
"Xia Ning, are you really going to stand out when you are behind the curtain?”A pair of jade-like arms gently embraced Xia Ning's shoulders, and Zhao Ji's red lips pressed against Xia Ning's ear, saying,""Lu Buwei isn't that simple.”
"Why don't you wait for time? When Zheng 'er has more information, you can step forward?”
Zhao Ji's thoughts were considered normal.
However, Xia Ning had her own thoughts. He brushed his right hand across Zhao Ji's pretty face and said softly,"If I don't stand out this time, the effect will be different in the future if I want to stand out completely.”
Now that the network had been completely formed, Ying Jin was also in a neutral position and could occasionally support the situation.
Wang Jian, Meng Ao, and Feng Quji were neutral.
Ying Zheng would probably agree soon.
It could be said that the situation was good, but if Xia Ning didn't step forward this time.
Then, his prestige in these people's hearts would definitely drop by quite a bit. At the very least, Wang Jian, Meng Ao, and the others would definitely not support him so much.
She wanted to be in power, but she didn't want to stand out.
Since he wanted to obtain power, he naturally had to bear the corresponding risks.
Most importantly, would Xia Ning be afraid of Lu Buwei?
No!
On the contrary, he would be more than happy to do so this time.
Jiu Qiansui wasn't some sinister mastermind, and he, Xia Ning, wasn't willing to be one.
Since he wanted to be in power, he had to stand up for himself.
Zhao Ji wanted to say something else.
A voice came from outside the door.”
Concubine Zhao was slightly stunned and quickly tidied up her messy clothes.
In front of Ying Zheng, she was still that dignified mother, but she didn't mind Ying Zheng knowing about her gigolo.
Very quickly.
Ying Zheng brought Zhao Gao and appeared in front of Lady Zhao.
"Zheng 'er." Lady Zhao stood beside Xia Ning like a wife, looking at Ying Zheng with a gentle gaze.
"Mother." Although Ying Zheng was young, he could tell the situation between the two of them at a glance. He did not care about it, but said,""Sir."
These two voices had already expressed their attitude.
It also made Zhao Ji smile.
Zhao Gao was shocked. Although he knew that Lady Zhao had a male escort who looked like an immortal, he never thought that a male escort could have such a status.
He had Lady Zhao standing beside him as a concubine, and Ying Zheng addressed him as Mister!
As if sensing Zhao Gao's thoughts, Xia Ning glanced at Zhao Gao and chuckled,""Greetings, Your Majesty."
With just a glance, Zhao Gao felt a chill run down his spine. He hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.
At the same time, Ying Zheng's words made Zhao Gao's heart tremble.
"Sir, after thinking about it for a few days, I am willing to fully support you.”Ying Zheng bowed deeply.
"I thank Your Majesty." Xia Ning also bowed.
The monarch bowed to the minister, and the minister bowed to the monarch.
If this could be done between the monarch and his subjects, it could already be considered a good story.
Regarding this.
Xia Ning also had to return the favor. His right hand touched his waist and took out a bottle of pills,"" This is the surprise that I've prepared for Your Majesty for a long time…"
