"Yes."
The crisp sound of a piece being placed rang out.
In the pavilion, the gaunt Lu Buwei withdrew his hand confidently.
Opposite him was a young man who was deep in thought.
After a while, the young man helplessly cupped his hands and admitted defeat."The Prime Minister's chess skills have improved again, Sima Kong is no match for him.”
"Haha."
Lu Buwei stroked his white beard and laughed heartily.
At this moment, a servant suddenly walked over and reported,""Prime Minister, Second Young Master Ying Lan is here to visit and is waiting in the side hall.”
"Second Young Master Ying Lan?"
Lu Buwei was stunned. His turbid pupils were filled with surprise and confusion.
He did not remember having any interactions with this young master.
Why did the other party suddenly come looking for him?
Could it be that he was looking for his help in the fight for the crown prince?
After pondering for a while, Lu Buwei stood up and left the pavilion.
When she came to the living room, she saw Ying Lan kneeling by the table.
Lu Buwei put on a smile and bowed,""Second Young Master, please forgive me for not welcoming you.”
In the past, when they saw Young Master, not to mention taking the initiative to bow, even nodding depended on their mood.
However, things were different now. He was no longer the prime minister who had power over the entire court.
Naturally, he couldn't be careless.
Moreover, who knew what this young master was looking for him for?
What if he was here to express goodwill?
Ying Lan also stood up with a smile and bowed back,"Ying Lan greets Minister Lu.”
Next, the two of them sat face to face on the ground.
"Go and brew a pot of tea."
"Here."
After giving the order, Lu Buwei was about to ask Ying Lan why he was here.
Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a lantern placed beside Ying Lan. She couldn't help but feel suspicious, so she asked,""Second Young Master, why did you bring a lantern?”
Ying Lan looked at the lantern and answered with a smile,""Oh, this is my gift to Xiangguo Lu.”
"A gift?"
Lu Buwei frowned.
Who would bring a lantern as a gift?
What was this Second Young Master up to?
Ying Lan nodded and said," Yes, I found someone to cast a spell on it. When Lu Xiangguo goes to the netherworld in the future, he can bring it with him. That way, he won't be afraid of the dark."”
Hearing this, Lu Buwei's expression turned serious!
His eyes were sharp, and his voice was raised a few notches."Second Young Master, why do you say such absurd words?!”
He finally understood.
This Second Young Master wasn't trying to be friendly.
Instead, he was here to find fault!
It had to be said that he was indeed bold!
How dare she speak rudely in his residence at such a young age!
Faced with Lu Buwei's anger, Ying Zheng did not panic. He merely raised his eyebrows and said lightly,""Ridiculous? I don't think so. How many years do you think you have left to live?”
"This old man's body is very good! It won't be a problem for me to live for another ten years!"
Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them.
He was on the verge of having a fit.
" No," Ying Lan closed his eyes and shook his head." Ying Lan thinks that Prime Minister Lu won't live long.”
Pa!
Lu Buwei slapped the wooden table and reprimanded,""Young Master, if you continue to speak rudely like this, this old man will have to teach you what it means to respect your elders and others on behalf of the king! When the previous king was alive, he didn't even dare to speak to this old man like this!”
Ying Lan ignored Lu Buwei's reprimand. Pointing at the wooden box beside him, he asked,""Prime Minister, do you know what's in here?”
"This old master is not interested in knowing what's inside!”Lu Buwei's eyes were burning with anger as he shouted outside," Guards, send the guest out!”
He was really angry and couldn't be bothered to continue holding it in.
If it wasn't for the other party's identity, he would have already made his move.
Ying Lan asked again unhurriedly,""Does Lu Xiangguo still remember Marquis Changxin?”
Lu Buwei was stunned for a moment before he snorted coldly.""Traitor, why mention him!"
"Of course I have to." Ying Lan smiled lightly. The next moment, his eyes turned sharp." Because inside this box is the evidence that you sent Marquis Changxin to serve the Empress Dowager in your place!!”
Boom!
Lu Buwei's eyes widened.
A huge wave surged in his heart.
He was momentarily dazed.
Even though his heart was filled with shock.
However, his expression remained unchanged as he refuted with a cold face,"Young Master, this joke is not funny! It is true that Lao Ai is my hanger-on, and I have some friendship with him. But, his affair with the Empress Dowager has nothing to do with me, and I have nothing to do with her!”
Ying Lan was very satisfied with Lu Buwei's reaction.
He restrained his fierce aura and said playfully,"Xiangguo Lu should know better than anyone else whether I'm talking nonsense.”
"If this is handed over to father, how long can you live?”
"I said that you don't have long to live. It's not ridiculous, right?”
A year ago, the rebellion of Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai, had affected Lu Buwei.
However, it only caused him to lose his original power and did not hurt his foundation.
After all, on the surface, Lao Ai was just a hanger-on of Lu Buwei, and they had some friendship.
However, Lu Buwei had intentionally brought her into the palace to have an affair with Empress Dowager Zhao.
For the time being, no one knew.
Of course, among these people, Ying Lan, a transmigrator who knew about history, was naturally not included.
And this would be the best way for him to achieve his goal.
“……”
Lu Buwei clenched his fists, his breathing hastened.
At this moment, other than shock, there was fear in his heart.
The Second Young Master looked very confident.
It was obvious that they had conclusive evidence.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to do this.
However, how did the other party know?
He should have killed all the people who had experienced this!
Even if he didn't kill them, they were his confidants. They had always been by his side, so it was impossible for them to reveal anything.
Could it be that Zhao Ji said it?!
It should be impossible.
Forget it, it was useless to think about this. The most important thing now was to quickly think of a solution.
Snatch the box and destroy it?
It was definitely useless.
This Second Young Master was naturally intelligent and would not do such a stupid thing.
Since the other party had brought the box over, he must have left a backup plan.
Speaking of which, although this Second Young Master clearly had the information, he did not inform Ying Zheng, but instead came to find him.
Presumably, he had some ulterior motive, right?
If he had ulterior motives, then it would be easy.
As a former businessman, he was the best at trading.
Lu Buwei cleared his mind and gradually regained his composure.
He first asked the servant who had been called in to leave.
Immediately, he did not waste any time and went straight to the point."Tell me, what does Second Young Master want?”
"It seems that Lu Xiangguo has thought it through. It's good that he has thought it through. What I want is very simple.”Ying Lan smiled and made a " yeah " gesture." Give me the net, then resign from the position of prime minister and leave Xianyang."”
