Just as he finished speaking.
In an instant.
The entire ancient Xianyang Palace suddenly became deathly silent.
Silence!
Depressed!
The middle-aged official could deeply feel an unparalleled sense of terror and oppression. When he had just finished speaking, it had already swept through his body and mind, pressing down on his body.
Under this terrifying power.
His body trembled uncontrollably.
Fear pierced through his heart!
" You, what did you just say?!"
On the steps, Ying Zheng was expressionless, his eyes as sharp as knives.
His aura was like a rainbow.
The pressure spread in all directions.
"Your…Your Majesty, the maid who was in charge of serving Her Highness Li Ji today suddenly sent a piece of news.”
"Yan Cheng."
"Her Highness Li Ji died in the palace.”
"This subordinate did not dare to make a sound about this, so I immediately came to report to Your Majesty.”
The middle-aged official's voice trembled.
Facing the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, there were not many people in the world who could maintain a calm attitude.
Moreover…
This matter involved a lot!
A favored concubine of the King of Qin had actually died in the palace!
This gave the middle-aged official a strong premonition.
This matter would definitely cause the King of Qin to be unprecedentedly furious!
If he was careless…
Even if it was just the aftershock that affected him, it was very likely that he would die without a burial ground.
In this silent and extremely oppressive atmosphere, the fear in the middle-aged official's heart was infinitely magnified.
From the beginning to the end, he kept his head lowered, not daring to face Ying Zheng directly.
"How did Consort Li die?"
"What is going on?"
"Could it be that the guards outside the palace are all good-for-nothings? What use do I have for them?"
Ying Zheng's voice was burning with suppressed rage.
He mistakenly thought,
There was an assassin who tried to assassinate Li Ji.
Then…
"Your…Your Majesty, Her Highness Li Ji committed suicide." The middle-aged official told the truth.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Ying Zheng was momentarily stunned.
His eyes lost focus and his mind was in a daze. The burning anger in his heart was instantly extinguished by more than half.
"Suicide…"
Ying Zheng's thoughts spun wildly.
His gaze became sharper and sharper, and the aura emitted from his body became more and more vigorous.
Gradually.
He began to think.
A few days ago…
The envoy sent by the Yan Country attempted to assassinate him and died in Xianyang Palace.
Were the two related?
Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in this world?
An assassin had just died in front of them…
Immediately after.
After that, Li Ji committed suicide!
Coincidence?
Or was it a coincidence?
No!
There was no such thing as a coincidence in this world!
Some things that seemed to be coincidences might be the inevitable outcome.
At the thought of this, Ying Zheng recalled a rumor he had heard a long time ago about Li Ji's background.
Immediately, Ying Zheng's pupils contracted slightly.
He thought of a possibility…
Immediately.
Ying Zheng ordered with a powerful tone,""Investigate the background of a man called Jing Ke immediately!”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After receiving Ying Zheng's order, the middle-aged official left Xianyang Palace quickly with a terrified look on his face.
It had to be said.
The intelligence network of the Qin country was quite terrifying.
Information spread all over the world!
All the major events in the world could not escape the investigation of the Qin country's intelligence network.
Even if it was a small matter, the intelligence network of the State of Qin could still investigate it clearly.
It was just a matter of time.
Hence, he decided to do it.
Soon, the middle-aged official returned to Xianyang Palace.
At the first moment, he reported to Ying Zheng truthfully with a face full of fear,""Your, Your Majesty, Jing Ke was born in the Yue Country's Ju Wu Ramie Village.”
The voice echoed in Ying Zheng's ears.
"Yue Country's Ju Wu Ramie Village…"
Ying Zheng's eyes turned deep and emotionless.
He vaguely remembered.
Li Ji was also born here!
At this moment.
Things had developed to this point. With Ying Zheng's thinking ability, it was not difficult for him to determine the final truth and answer of the matter.
After a while.
The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched slightly.”
After learning the truth,
The anger in his heart did not weaken at all. Instead, the flames of anger burned even more fiercely.
"These few days."
"Who would frequent Consort Li Palace?”
"Is there a record?"
Ying Zheng asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty," the middle-aged official replied,"Her Highness Li Ji has only had her usual personal attendant these past few days. Other than that, no one else could get close to Princess Li Ji.”
"Hmm? Servant? In the past few days, have you noticed that the number of servants around Li Ji has decreased or increased?”
Ying Zheng asked again.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged official's forehead was covered in cold sweat. His face became extremely pale, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty…"
"The subordinate didn't observe carefully."
Instantly, the atmosphere became exceptionally quiet.
A suppressive aura swept in all directions.
In his panic, the middle-aged official seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly blurted out,"Your Majesty, this subordinate hasn't seen the little prince for the past few days.”
"And…"
"An old servant and a maid who had always been with Her Highness Li Ji disappeared from the palace.”
Hearing this,
Ying Zheng's face turned slightly gloomy.
"Consort Li…"
"You really hid it well."
"I didn't even notice it.”
"And your child will be the greatest humiliation in this king's life!”
Ying Zheng tried his best to suppress the raging fury burning in his heart, and his voice sounded especially low and hoarse." Summon Moon Goddess, the Right Guardian of the Yin-Yang School, into the palace for an audience!”
The middle-aged official panicked and replied,"Yes, Your Majesty."”
Just as he turned around and was about to leave Xianyang Palace.
Suddenly-
Ying Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and immediately shouted for it to stop.
"Wait a minute!"
In an instant,
The middle-aged official shuddered, unable to suppress the fear in his heart.
He twisted his stiff neck and slowly turned around. With a trembling voice, he asked,"Your, Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?”
He pondered for a moment.
Then…
Ying Zheng's eyes, which were originally filled with intense anger, gradually softened as he said,""Summon my son Ying Luo into the palace!"
