The atmosphere was so strange that even the slow-witted Huhai noticed it!
Now, they had stopped at the sand dune area to rest, and it had been a long time since Zhao Chen and Huhai had seen Ying Zheng.
The temporary palace was very grand and was located in the middle of the camp.
Usually, the guards were very strict, but it was not like now, where the temporary temporary palace was surrounded by dense patrolling armored soldiers!
Even when Zhao Chen went to meet Ying Zheng, he was stopped and interrogated many times!
Zhao Chen frowned deeply. He never expected Zhao Gao to have such deep control over the eastern patrol army!
They entered the temporary palace, which was usually not guarded by many guards, but was now guarded by nearly 30% more.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Chen saw Ying Zheng lying on the couch, his face withered and his oil lamp had dried up.
Meanwhile, Huhai was quietly kneeling in front of Ying Zheng's bed, while Zhao Gao and Li Si were standing on both sides of the bed.
This scene almost made Zhao Chen hallucinate!
Was Ying Zheng really dying? If it wasn't for the fact that he had planned all of this, and that he had just talked to Zhang Han, who represented Ying Zheng, and saw Ying Zheng's current state, even Zhao Chen would not believe that Ying Zheng was faking it!
The atmosphere in the palace was very oppressive. The servants and palace maids all lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe loudly. Only the burning palace lamps emitted a dizzying smell.
Zhao Gao and Li Si glanced at Zhao Chen after he entered.
Zhao Chen also came forward and knelt beside Huhai. Ying Zheng, who had seemed to have fainted, had just woken up at this moment.
Like an old man on his deathbed, his turbid eyes could only open a line, and his head turned with difficulty.
Ying Zheng looked down at his two sons who were kneeling quietly.
After looking at him for a while, they found that Ying Zheng was not moving at all, which made them fear that he was already dead.
After a long while, Ying Zheng looked at the dome of the palace and said in a low and hoarse voice.
"Zhao Gao…"
Zhao Gao felt as if his heart was being squeezed. At this moment, Ying Zheng's state made him even more nervous than usual!
Although Ying Zheng's voice was very soft, Zhao Gao, who had placed all his attention on Ying Zheng, subconsciously took a few steps forward and knelt before Ying Zheng's bed.
He said very softly.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Gao is here."
Ying Zheng did not say anything else, as if he had lost all his strength. Meanwhile, Zhao Gao was also very patient, and his face was even more humble than usual.
After a long time, Ying Zheng's voice became softer again.
"Li Si…"
Li Si quickly bowed with a sorrowful expression.
" Li Si is here, Your Majesty…"
"Ahem…"
The coughs were all very soft, and Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes completely, as if he had just recovered from his last breath, and his face was flushed with a tinge of blood.
"Li Si, draft the decree!"
It was as if Ying Zheng's words contained some kind of magic!
Everyone in the palace, whether it was Li Si or Zhao Gao, even the palace maids, trembled!
Li Si did not dare to be negligent. With a sorrowful expression on his face, he took out the brocade cloth, brush, and ink that he had prepared.
As if recalling his past with Ying Zheng, Li Si could barely control his mind!
After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng's faint voice rang out in the tent. " The Great Qin Dynasty was the last of its six generations. It swept across the world and came out of Hangu in the east... The books were written in the same language, and the vehicles were on the same track. It unified the measurement, resisted the Xiongnu in the north, and surrounded the Baiyue in the south..."
Following Ying Zheng's narration, the wails of the palace maids and the chamberlains could be heard from the palace.
The scene was filled with despair.
Even Zhao Chen, who knew about it, could not help but feel emotional.
If it wasn't for him, Great Qin would have completely collapsed from now on.
Ying Zheng's voice did not stop, and he continued to talk about the important part.
" Young Master of the Great Qin…Fusu, unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, courteous to all officials, praised by the world…"
Zhao Gao did not react at all when he heard this. On the other hand, Li Si, who was writing furiously, suddenly woke up from his sadness!
His hand hesitated for a moment, but seeing no reaction from Zhao Gao, he could only continue writing.
" Without my decree, Meng Tian cannot go south. Without my decree, Zhao Tuo cannot go north…"
"The country cannot be without a crown prince. I hope that Fusu's heart will be firm. Don't be arrogant and impatient. You should put the world first…"
Her voice gradually became softer, but in the end, the entire decree was about Fu Su.
Until Ying Zheng finished speaking and Li Si finished drafting the decree, no one realized that the decree had clearly pointed out that Fu Su was the Crown Prince!
Logically speaking, if Ying Zheng really died suddenly at this moment, Fu Su would be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Great Qin Empire with this decree alone!
However, other than Huhai, Zhao Chen wasn't an easy person to deal with!
Furthermore, Zhao Gao and Li Si had already made plans…
Ying Zheng had closed his eyes at some point in time, and remained silent for a long time.
Zhao Gao had been paying attention to Ying Zheng all this time, and he did not even listen to the imperial edict that Ying Zheng had just spoken!
At this moment, Zhao Gao's heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest as he shouted carefully.
"Your Majesty…"
There was no reaction.
Zhao Gao's head suddenly jerked, as if he felt a little ridiculous for a moment.
This was the first emperor to carry on the cause and forge ahead into the future!
He was trembling so slightly that even Zhao Gao didn't know if he was happy or sad.
"Your Majesty?"
……
For a moment, Zhao Gao felt as if the sky had collapsed. But fortunately, he had a strong mind, and only felt a little absurd in his heart. Soon, he walked out of the shadow that Ying Zheng had cast on him.
His trembling hand reached out to the tip of Ying Zheng's nose.
It was as if he had been electrocuted, and a stone had been lifted from his heart. Zhao Gao felt a moment of fear, and then an endless wave of excitement!
She retracted her hand and turned around to look at Li Si.
Then, Zhao Gao stood up and swept his gaze across everyone in the palace.
At this moment, it was very calm.
"His Majesty has passed away!"
Boom!
It was as if thunder had struck everyone's minds. Many people could not believe that the god-like First Emperor would die.
All the servants and palace maids knelt on the ground. Immediately, the palace was filled with earth-shattering cries.
Li Si sat behind the desk beside the bed and looked at the decree he had just drafted.
Zhao Gao came to Li Si and took a look at the decree.
When he saw the words 'Fu Su' inside, he felt that it was extremely glaring!
From this moment on, Zhao Gao no longer needed to hide anything!
He recalled how Fu Su had despised him and how the Meng family had almost killed him…
Zhao Gao's eyes were distorted as he screamed.
"Men!"
Hualala!
A group of armored soldiers entered the palace. Zhao Gao nodded at the lieutenant.
Then, he pointed the decree at the attendants and palace maids in the palace.
"Drag them all away!"
