Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 69: Ying Zheng's Furious Face

After a stick of incense.

Zhao Ji arrived at Zhangtai Palace and met Ying Zheng.

At this time, Ying Zheng was kneeling in front of the table and reading memorials.

After learning that the Queen Mother had arrived, he immediately put down the memorial, stood up, and went out to meet Zhao Ji.

"Queen mother?"

"Why are you here?"

Ying Zheng asked in confusion.

Because Hongzao ordered the news to be blocked last night, Ying Zheng still doesn't know about Lao Zheng's affairs until now.

"If you don't go to Ganquan Palace, I can't come here?"

Zhao Ji pretended to be displeased.

Although she was the queen mother, she loved to act like a spoiled brat.

"I was planning to visit you in Ganquan Palace in a few days. I didn't expect that before I even got there, you would..."

Ying Zheng looked embarrassed when he heard this, and then said.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to go to Ganquan Palace to visit Zhao Ji, but he is the King of Qin and has too many things to do and has no time at all!
Xu Lin can work only four hours a day and take a break every few days, but he can't.

If he were like Xu Lin, the Qin State would not be able to unify the world. I'm afraid that in a few years, he would become a complete puppet!

Seeing this, Gai Nie, who was standing by, bowed to Zhao Ji and then retreated.

Zhao Gao followed closely behind and left Zhangtai Palace with his guards.

"How many days will it take?"

"Zheng'er, when did you learn to lie?"

After Gai Nie, Zhao Gao and others left, Zhao Ji said angrily.

"without!"

"Mother, you misunderstood. I really did intend to..."

Ying Zheng hurriedly explained.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Ji.

"never mind!"

"I've long been accustomed to being alone."

"I came here today not to blame you for being unfilial, Zheng'er, but to talk to you about serious matters."

Zhao Ji waved her sleeves and then spoke seriously.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the red dates behind her.

After receiving the eye signal, Hongzao immediately took a few steps forward and handed two large pieces of paper to Ying Zheng with both hands.

One is what happened in Ganquan Palace last night, and the other is the "confession" written by Lao Zheng after taking the truth-telling pill.

"Mother, please sit down first."

Ying Zheng took the two pieces of straw paper and said as he looked at them.

Zhao Ji nodded, walked slowly to the couch, and knelt in front of the table.

The desk was piled high with memorials, some written on bamboo slips, some on silk, and some on straw paper.

Not only were there memorials on the table, but the bamboo baskets on both sides of the table were also filled with memorials.

Zheng'er hasn't even taken office yet, and he has to read so many memorials every day?
No wonder Mr. Xu said before that Zheng'er didn't want to go to Ganquan Palace to fulfill his filial piety, but as the King of Qin, he was busy with all kinds of affairs and really had no time!
It seems that Mr. Xu is not making excuses for Zheng'er, but this is the fact!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji picked up a scroll of bamboo slips at random and squinted her eyes to look at the contents on it.

The bamboo slips were covered with dense words, and Zhao Ji felt a headache after reading just two lines.

She has disliked reading since she was a child.

"this?"

"What on earth does that fellow Lu Buwei intend to do?"

After reading it, Ying Zheng was furious.

Although his voice was not loud, it sounded like a dragon's roar, making people shudder!

Lu Buwei asked Lao Zheng to "surprise attack" his mother Zhao Ji, and his heart should be killed!
Although Lao Zheng did not succeed, he would never let Lu Buwei go, as he dared to humiliate his mother!
"Somebody come!"

"Go call Lu Buwei!"

Ying Zheng's voice was as cold as iron.

If Lu Buwei had not been the prime minister, he would have killed Lu Buwei with his own hands immediately!
The hatred of humiliating one’s mother is irreconcilable!
"promise!"

Zhao Gao was shocked when he heard this, and immediately accepted the order.

He had been in the palace for so long, but this was the first time he saw Ying Zheng so angry!

"Mother, were you okay last night?"

"Is that Lao Zheng still alive?"

"I will tear him to pieces!"

After Zhao Gao walked away, Ying Zheng knelt down opposite Zhao Ji and asked in a gentle voice.

He and Zhao Ji had been dependent on each other in Handan, Zhao State since childhood, so it goes without saying that he had deep feelings for Zhao Ji!

He has just been busy dealing with state affairs recently, so he rarely goes to Ganquan Palace. This does not mean that he is an unfilial person!

"It doesn't matter."

"Just a little frightened, that's all."

"Lao Zheng cannot die yet. He is still useful."

Zhao Ji picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of hot tea. Then she told Ying Zheng about the plagiarism of Lüshi Chunqiu.

He wanted Ying Zheng to take this opportunity to completely overthrow Lu Buwei!

"Don't worry, mother!"

Ying Zheng readily agreed.

Then he took a deep breath, stood with his hands behind his back, and asked someone to call Zhang Han over.

Just one witness, Lao Zheng, is not enough. This matter is of great importance. It is impossible that Lu Buwei is the only one who knows about it in the Prime Minister's Office. He needs other witnesses!
After Zhang Han arrived at Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng gave him the task of finding new witnesses.

"promise!"

Zhang Han immediately accepted the order.

Then he jumped to the prime minister's residence.

……

the other side.

After leaving Ganquan Palace, Xu Lin did not go home, but went to the Imperial Observatory.

This opportunity is rare, and he wants to take this opportunity to completely overthrow Lu Buwei, so he thought of the Moon Goddess.

"Yue Jianzheng hasn't arrived yet?"

"What time is it?"

Xu Lin complained when he learned that the Moon Goddess had not arrived yet.

Is he a moon god?

Apart from taking days off, I am always late and leave early!

After saying that, Xu Lin went to Yue Shen's residence.

The Moon Goddess was meditating in the room at this time. After following the sound and seeing Xu Lin, she exhaled, got off the bed, and walked towards Xu Lin slowly.

"Mr. Xu, how come you have time to come to my humble abode today?"

The Moon Goddess smiled dignifiedly.

She is much more lively now than in the Qin Dynasty anime, perhaps because she is only in her early twenties?
Most likely!

Later in his life, when he was in high school and college, Xu Lin was also very active and talkative. After graduating and working for a few years, he sometimes would not say a word for a whole day!

"Does Yue Jianzheng still remember the agreement we made last time?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

After saying this, he strode towards the Moon Goddess, reducing the distance between him and the Moon Goddess to half a step.

The Moon Goddess is only half a head shorter than Xu Lin.

The close distance made Yue Shen gradually feel uncomfortable.

"Of course!"

After a few breaths, the Moon Goddess took a half step back and answered happily.

Then he went to the study with Xu Lin.

After sitting down, she personally poured a bowl of hot tea for Xu Lin.

"I heard that the Yin-Yang family has a technique called Soul Transfer, which can temporarily turn the opponent into a puppet and use it for my own purposes. Is this true?"

Xu Lin took the tea bowl and asked with a smile.

He wanted the Moon Goddess to use the soul transfer technique to control Lao Zheng, and then let Lao Zheng confront Lu Buwei in the court!

"I wonder if there is anything else that you don't know?"

The Moon Goddess nodded and asked back with a chuckle.

Xu Lin was delighted when he heard this, and told Yue Shen about Lao Zheng's surprise attack on Zhao Ji last night and his plan.

After hearing this, the Moon Goddess was stunned at first, and then shocked.

Then he readily agreed and went to Zhangtai Palace with Xu Lin.

……

After half a stick of incense.

Xu Lin and Yue Shen arrived at Zhangtai Palace.

Before meeting Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji, they met Hongzao.

Hongzao and Lao were in the study next door.

Lao Zheng's face was pale and he looked very weak.

Hongzao did not tie up Lao Zheng because Lao Zheng's meridians were completely damaged and he could no longer use his internal strength.

"Red girl, what are you doing?"

After seeing this scene, Xu Lin asked in confusion.

Hongzao said nothing after hearing this and walked to the corner with Xu Lin.

Then she told Xu Lin her plan in a voice that only she and Xu Lin could hear.

Lu Buwei will be in the study soon. She has promised Lao Zheng that as long as Lao Zheng stands up and confronts Lu Buwei in court, she will spare his life after the matter is accomplished.

"Do you really want to forgive him?"

Xu Lin frowned.

"Correct."

"But my pardoning him doesn't mean the Queen Mother will pardon him."

Hongzao lifted her hair and smiled sweetly.

Lao Zheng was suspected of forcing the Queen Mother, how could he be forgiven?
