Just like that.
Huhai was taken away by Zhang Han.
He didn't even have the chance to resist…
Ying Yinman carried Jiang Yun back.
When the few of them returned.
The large-scale sacrificial ceremony had already ended.
A banquet was held in the palace, and Ying Zheng had a good chat with the civil and military officials of the court.
Until…
Ying Zheng saw Zhang Han, and Huhai and the others following behind him.
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.
His kitten was back!
I haven't seen you for half a day, and I miss you very much.
He immediately stood up and went to welcome the kitten.
At this moment.
Zhang Han knelt on the ground and reported what had just happened.
"I was ordered by His Majesty to protect Lord National Beast, but I was a step late and almost caused Lord National Beast to be bitten by a snake.”
"Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng's tiger body trembled.
He glared at Zhang Han, his eyes filled with killing intent.
The harmonious atmosphere in the hall came to an abrupt end.
The air turned cold.
" What?!"
"Is my kitten injured?"
With a few quick steps, Ying Zheng came to Ying Yinman, who was carrying a kitten.
He grabbed the kitten with one hand and looked at it to see if there were any injuries.
"Meow ~"(I'm fine)
Hearing the soft meowing of the baby cat, Ying Zheng was still worried.
He only heaved a sigh of relief when he checked that the kitten was not injured.
But this wasn't over!
Ying Zheng returned to his throne, hugging the kitten tightly with both hands, never letting go of it.
He stared at Zhang Han.
"Why would there be snakes in the palace? What is going on?”
Zhang Han looked at the trembling Huhai.
"After I killed the poisonous snake, I found the eighteenth prince hiding behind a tree.”
At this point.
Zhang Han shut his mouth.
He didn't have any evidence to prove that Huhai was the culprit.
Everything depended on Ying Zheng.
"Unfilial son!"
"You want to poison my baby!"
Under Ying Zheng's furious expression, Huhai knelt down with a loud thud.
Cold sweat trickled down his back.
"I…I didn't…Father, I was just passing by.”
"I didn't bring the snake into the palace!"
Zhao Gao saw this.
It was also difficult to look straight at.
What was Huhai panicking about?
Other than themselves, no one else knew about the poisonous snake.
Even the servants in Huhai's mansion who had seen the silver snake were executed.
Now that Huhai was so flustered, wouldn't Ying Zheng suspect him even more?
At this moment.
Fusu, who was dressed in white, walked out and knelt on the ground.
"Imperial Father, your son believes that Eighteenth Brother would not do such a thing.”
Ying Zheng was so angry that the corner of his eyes twitched, and his anger rose even more.
"You believe what he said?"
"Passing by? You believe such a ridiculous reason?"
Fu Su continued.
"Your son believes that Eighteenth Brother heard that Imperial Sister was playing Cuju with the daughter of the Wang Clan and was so fond of playing that he followed her.”
Fu Su also looked down on his ignorant and incompetent eighteenth brother.
He had no choice.
Not to mention that Huhai was his brother, he couldn't just stand by and watch his younger brother be punished for Ying Zheng's sake.
There was another thing.
He and the scholarly faction had always been against Ying Zheng's favoritism towards a cat.
Today was such an important day.
If Ying Zheng were to punish Huhai, it would only encourage this evil trend.
In the future, Ying Zheng would only cause more people to lose their lives because of a cat.
Zhang Han said.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to investigate this matter thoroughly?”
Just as he finished speaking.
Zhang Han felt several dangerous gazes on him.
Zhang Han was indifferent to this.
This was the power of Zhang Han. He could bypass everyone and directly speak to Ying Zheng.
Fu Su could only stare blankly.
On the throne, Ying Zheng's face made it impossible for others to tell what he was thinking.
The air was still.
Just as many people were feeling more and more uneasy.
Ying Zheng spoke.
"Today's banquet is over, everyone can leave.”Ying Zheng's voice was filled with exhaustion.
His reaction surprised everyone.
Everyone thought that Ying Zheng would be furious, and even Huhai and Fusu would be severely punished.
Why did he raise it up high and put it down gently?
Even those who were closer to Ying Zheng could not guess what he was thinking.
Zhao Gao, Li Si, Meng Yi…
The answer to this question was something that only Ying Zheng himself knew.
However…
The only good thing was that Fu Su and Huhai were not punished.
Then…what was going on?
That night.
In the bedroom.
Ying Zheng returned to his bedroom with a nervous look, as if he knew he had made a mistake.
"Will you blame me for not avenging you today? Meow."
Ying Zheng was a little cautious as he asked the little kitten curled up beside him in a soft voice.
"Meow ~"
Jiang Yun wagged his tail impatiently.
Ying Zheng had asked him this question almost ten times.
How annoying!
"Zhen, if we really let people investigate, we only need time to find out the truth.”
"But I can't do this. Or rather, it's meaningless.”
"Little cat, can you understand my thoughts?”
Jiang Yun lazily raised his cat-like eyes and glanced at him as if he was comforting him.
"Meow ~"
Jiang Yun could also understand Ying Zheng's thoughts.
Ying Zheng was facing his two sons, so how could he be punished together? How?
The first was Huhai, who had been grounded and had reduced his expenses.
If he were to be punished now, would he be directly sentenced to death?
Ying Zheng cared about his family. As long as Huhai did not rebel, he would not do that.
However…
Jiang Yun could also see the disappointment in Ying Zheng's eyes.
In Ying Zheng's heart, Huhai had already turned completely cold.
Not to mention fighting for the crown prince, he didn't even have the qualifications to fight for favor.
The only thing he needed to do now was to keep Huhai alive and keep him in the mansion.
Then, it was Fu Su.
Fu Su was Ying Zheng's eldest son, and he had been groomed as the future heir to the throne since he was young. Behind him was the entire scholarly faction and the Meng Clan.
The Meng Clan obeyed Ying Zheng's orders, and if Ying Zheng directly issued an edict to remove Fusu, the Meng Clan's backer, then the Meng Clan would be destroyed.
If Fu Su succeeded the throne in the future, what would Meng tribe do?
Not to mention that there were so many ministers in the court who supported Fusu.
In the eyes of the others, Fu Su was a good elder brother and a true gentleman when he spoke up to plead for his younger brother.
If he was really punished.
The Qin country was going to be in chaos.
Not to mention, there were also the remnants of the six dynasties and the Xiongnu in the north, who were ready to make a move in the dark.
Those were the true malignant tumors, and they wanted the Great Qin Empire to fight as fiercely as possible.
Ying Zheng's decision today had another benefit for the kitten.
He needed to lay low for a while.
It could make those thieves who secretly wanted to harm the baby cat think that the baby cat's importance in Ying Zheng's heart was just so-so.
Otherwise, the kitten would be in danger every two or three days.
Ying Zheng would also tremble in fear.
Once Ying Zheng had cleared all the obstacles, he would no longer have to be restrained.
Of course.
All these were just Ying Zheng's thoughts.
After today's incident, Jiang Yun had his own considerations.
That night.
After Ying Zheng fell asleep.
Jiang Yun had activated a new transmigration to another world.
