Lu Buwei sat upright with his clothes covering his face. It was really awkward no matter how he looked, but he still had a stern face and looked righteous, as if sleeping with the empress dowager was a very normal thing. And the kneeling sound was what he shouted at Ying Zheng.

But he forgot that since Ying Zheng ascended the throne, Ying Zheng's knees had never turned around except to bend against Zhao Ji. Lu Buwei wanted to take up his father's airs and scold Ying Zheng. As a result, Ying Zheng stood straight and looked at Lu Buwei with a smile.

He waved his hand gently, and Zhao Gao, who was waiting at the door, closed the door of the bedroom. At this moment, only Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji were left in the room. Ying Zheng said in an extremely plain tone: "You are just the prime minister of my Great Qin. I am very curious. Who gave you the courage to make you so fearless."

Turning his head, Ying Zheng looked around the room, and saw the big bathtub was still steaming with heat, and water traces were everywhere on the ground. Combined with the outfits of the two of them, it was not difficult to imagine what happened here just now.

"Zheng'er, don't blame your Xiangfu. He confronted you in the court, but it was actually for your own good."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the house was not right, Zhao Ji wanted to take over the conversation and smooth things over, but as soon as she said that she regretted it. She thought that Ying Zheng did not know that Lu Buwei was his biological father. He was caught in the current scene, which could no longer be explained by contradicting the words.

"For my own good?"

Ying Zheng was indeed extremely angry and laughed. He pointed at Lu Buwei with his finger, and turned around and pointed at Zhao Ji.

"That's how you are doing good to me? Let me kneel down to a man who sleeps with you? Please recognize your own identities. In this country, I am the master here!"

Looking at the somewhat ferocious Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji opened her mouth and could not say a word. Lu Buwei next to her remained calm. He looked straight at Ying Zheng and said again: "Kneel down, just because I am your biological father!"

"snort!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, without any terror or anger. He didn't even have an unexpected expression, as if everything was under his expectation.

"You should be glad I can still remain sane."

Ying Zheng raised his face and said coldly: "You are old and it is time to retire and retire. If I don't make things difficult for you, it means I have forgiven you. Be your businessman."

After saying that, Ying Zheng turned around and walked outside the bedroom. He saw dense black armored guards kneeling there. Ying Zheng stopped and ordered: "From today, the Empress Dowager will pray for the orphan in the bedroom. Without the orphan's order, ordinary people cannot wait to enter, and people inside are not allowed to go out! The eunuchs and palace maids in the hall will be killed! Xiao Gao, do you understand if you send some smart people to come here?"

"Yes, king."

Seeing that Ying Zheng left without even returning, the eunuchs and maids shouted outside, and Zhao Ji was pale in shock and looked at Lu Buwei with a little at a loss.

"Buwei, Zheng'er seemed to be a little too calm. I wonder if he knew something."

"Hmph. Of course he knows. Didn't you see that Zhao Gao came with him? Tsk tsk, are you afraid that I will rebel?"

A sinister expression appeared on Lu Buwei's face again, and the last time he showed this expression, he designed to kill King Zhuangxiang. However, Zhao Ji did not notice Lu Buwei's expression, because she was now deeply trapped in conflict.

The next day, the morning court held an appointment.

In the huge hall, there were very few people on the side of the civil servants, only a few minor officials standing behind them, holding a scroll of documents to report their illness, and the robes on their backs had already become wet.

Zhao Gao walked to the center of the hall and received the documents. He saw Ying Zheng looking at the few minor officials below, which looked like a hungry wolf playing with prey.

"You are very good. Since you can come, it proves your loyalty. Now I will give you an edict to tell those who are still watching. I am now preparing to launch a war, but I am still lacking a lot of military capital and slaves. Tell them and let them do it themselves."

Montaigne looked at the clever officials who had retreated in a mess and ran farther and farther away until they disappeared. Then he turned around and said respectfully: "Master, I don't know why Lu Xiang was missing today."

"He? Haha, Lu Xiang is ill and has a leave of absence, don't worry about him. Bai Qi, does he have a good plan to attack the Later Qin?"

Bai Qi, who was standing behind, walked out and bent down and bowed, "Reporting to the king, I still think that this is not the best time to send troops. If the war starts hastily, it will be detrimental to our Qin army."

Ying Zheng gradually restrained the smile on his face and turned his eyes to Montaigne standing in front of him.

"General Meng, what do you think?"

"Return to the king, I have the same opinions as General Bai."

"Oh..." Ying Zheng paused and continued, "Since you say that, don't move for the time being. However, there have been some troubles in the city recently. General Meng, should you let the city guards inspect more?"

"Yes! King."

Montaigne was a little surprised and didn't quite understand why the king suddenly cared about these trivial matters, but since the king spoke, he just turned around and strengthened the inspection in the city as required.

After the court meeting was over, after the ministers left the hall, the tall Ying Shuo suddenly walked in from outside the hall.

"King, the guards have been assembled, I wonder what the king has to give."

"It's okay. Two hours later, I knocked on Gu's door to door and brought all the ungrateful things to the hall. Zhao Gao later called the imperial physician. Gu wanted to see how many of them were really sick!"

In the alley not far from the Qin Palace, Fan Sui's mansion was located here. At dawn, Fan Sui changed into court clothes and sat in the main hall early. Seeing this, the servants at home thought that the master had gone to the palace to attend court as usual, so they prepared a carriage and horseman outside the door. However, as the sun was noon, Fan Sui was still sitting in the hall safely and had no intention of going out.

"Master, Master, news has been heard in the palace!"

A young servant hurriedly ran in. He was the smartest one of the servants in the mansion. Before dawn, Fan Sui arranged him to the palace gate in order to get news from the palace as soon as possible.

"The minor officials have come out, but those people are so secretive that they don't say much, they just say that the king is not angry."

Fan Sui grinned and shouted to the servants outside: "Come on, go to the palace!"

The king is not angry? Humph, if the king is angry, it will be fine. If he is not angry, it means that someone will definitely be in trouble!
