This lieutenant was Zhao Gao's confidant, so Zhao Gao believed that he would understand what he meant!
"Wuwuwu…Sir! Lord Zhao! No!"
"Ah! Lord Zhao, sob sob!"
" Sir, please spare my life!!"
“……”
Instantly, the entire palace was filled with shocked cries.
The sensitive chamberlains and palace maids often accompanied him in the palace, so how could they not understand what Zhao Gao meant?
The armored soldiers did not say a word. They unsheathed their swords and placed them on everyone's necks. Not long after, as the cries faded away, screams sounded again. For a moment, the entire world fell silent.
Huhai's entire body was trembling. It was unknown whether he was afraid or excited.
Li Si's eyes were filled with complicated emotions as he felt guilty and did not dare to look at the bed.
Just as Zhao Gao was deep in thought and planning what to do next, suddenly…
"Zhao Gao! What do you mean by that?"
Zhao Gao was shocked. He looked at Zhao Chen, who was slowly standing up. Zhao Chen was calm and looked at him without any panic.
His heart thumped. He had almost forgotten that there was still the uncertain factor of Zhao Chen!
With a fake smile, Zhao Gao cupped his hands.
"Ninth Young Master! He's not in Xianyang now. Zhao Gao just feels that it's not appropriate to let his subordinates know about His Majesty's death…"
Although Zhao Gao was right, Zhao Chen knew that.
"Then when did Lord Zhao get to give orders? Have you asked the Prime Minister, Lord Li, this Young Master, and my eighteenth brother?”
Hearing Zhao Chen talking about him, Huhai was already a frightened bird. He was so frightened that his entire body trembled, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Ying Zheng who was lying on the couch.
" Don't ask me, don't ask me…It's all up to teacher…"
Li Si's expression was complicated as if he had something to say, but he could not bring himself to say it.
Zhao Gao was furious at Zhao Chen's words, but now was not the time to flare up.
In Zhao Gao's opinion, Zhao Chen was still useful!
He believed that with him, Li Si, and Ying Zheng's two sons, no one would be able to say anything when they returned to Xianyang.
His expression only turned cold for a moment. Thinking of this, Zhao Gao took advantage of the situation and turned to look at Li Si, who was sitting beside the bed.
Zhao Gao subconsciously turned his eyes away from Ying Zheng's 'corpse' lying on the bed.
He said in a humble tone.
"Prime minister, what do you think we should do?”
Li Si was stunned and blurted out without thinking.
"Let's hurry back to Xianyang first."
Zhao Gao was displeased, but he did not say anything about Li Si not responding to him.
Thinking about how the entire camp was under his control, Zhao Gao didn't want to continue acting. Zhao Gao was sure that Zhao Chen would make a smart choice!
Zhao Gao nodded and walked in front of Li Si without saying anything. He picked up the unsealed edict again and looked at it carefully before shaking his head.
"Zhao Gao feels that this edict is somewhat inappropriate!”
Li Si was shocked, but Zhao Chen was not in a hurry. He wanted to see Zhao Gao's performance.
So he pretended to be a little angry and mocked.
"What's wrong? Even Lord Zhao felt that something was wrong when his father was no longer around?”
His face froze, and he almost called someone to drag Zhao Chen out and chop him up!
However, Zhao Chen was still useful and he could fight for more. He looked up and smiled at Li Si gloomily.
He didn't reply to Zhao Chen, as if he didn't exist.
Zhao Gao seemed to be talking to himself, but he also seemed to be reminding him of something.
"Why didn't His Majesty's decree specify which young master was to be the crown prince?”
After a pause, Zhao Gao seemed to be studying the decree word by word and then continued.
"Everyone in the court knows that His Majesty doesn't like Young Master Fusu. Moreover, before the Eastern Patrol, he had already sent Young Master Fusu to the Northern Camp…In Zhao Gao's opinion, His Majesty definitely has no intention of making Young Master Fusu the Crown Prince!”
After saying that, Zhao Gao looked at Li Si meaningfully and said in a low voice,"
"Don't you think so? Prime Minister…"
Li Si lowered his brows and fell into deep thought. He did not reply immediately. It was obvious that he was in a dilemma.
However, Zhao Chen wanted to try and see if he could make Li Si stop.
He said angrily.
"Zhao Gao! Do you still have the First Emperor in your eyes? It is not up to you, a eunuch, to decide the future of Great Qin!!”
With his back facing Zhao Chen, Zhao Gao heard a piercing sound in his mind, especially when Zhao Chen said the word 'eunuch'.
Zhao Gao's face instantly twisted. He turned around and pointed at Zhao Chen with the imperial edict.
"How dare you, Zhao Chen! Are you rebelling?"
Ha…
As expected of someone who could call a deer a horse!
It was as if he was looking at a clown, but Zhao Chen did not show it. He still looked resentful.
Zhao Chen was so angry that he laughed at Li Si.
"Prime Minister! You have to think clearly! If Fusu succeeds the throne, you can protect your family in the worst case scenario, but if Huhai succeeds and Zhao Gao takes over, your entire family will die!”
He spoke so decisively as if he was coming to a conclusion, shocking Li Si who was deep in thought.
Zhao Gao's chest seemed to be filled with anger.
Seeing Li Si's expression, Zhao Gao did not even bother with Zhao Chen and quickly comforted him.
"Lord Li! Prime Minister Li! Don't listen to this kid!”
Before Li Si could react, Zhao Gao's mind raced. He half-reminded, half-threatened, and promised.
"Lord Li, think about it! Young Master helped Su succeed the throne. The person behind him can't tolerate me, but can he tolerate Lord Li? Think about how many people you offended back then! Think about your own family!" "If Young Master Huhai succeeds to the throne, the Li family will die with the country for the rest of Qin's life!”
After saying that, he shot a look at the stunned Huhai.
Huhai quivered and quickly whispered to Li Si.
"Prime Minister! I swear! Not only will this young master put Lord Li in an important position, but this young master will also put Lord Li's family in an important position!”
Normally, Li Siwan wouldn't lose his mind like this!
Because of Ying Zheng's sudden death, Li Si was so upset that he couldn't think of anything.
She was about to be woken up by Zhao Chen!
However, after Zhao Gao and Huhai's combined punches, Li Si was still defeated.
So…
"This decree is indeed a little inappropriate…"
When Li Si said those words hesitantly, not to mention the joy on Zhao Gao and Huhai's faces, no one noticed that the eyelids of Ying Zheng's 'corpse' on the bed had slightly quivered.
What they did not notice was Zhao Chen's unusual behavior.
It was completely different from their unstable and anxious state of mind. It wasn't hard to see that Zhao Chen didn't panic at all!
Even Zhao Gao and the others were discussing how to tamper with the decree!
Zhao Chen's slightly stiff and angry eyes were filled with mockery…
