Da Qin: I intercepted Hu Yushu, Yi Xiaochuan broke the defense

Xianyang City,
this day,
In the main hall of Master Hu Hai's house.

Prince Hu Hai kept pacing back and forth.

Ever since Yi Xiaochuan left his house and was locked up in Zhao Che's Imperial House,
He was always feeling uneasy.
Although Hu Hai was not very smart, he also sensed a very bad premonition.

"Why did Zhao Che keep Yi Xiaochuan, a useless person, in the mansion for so long? I really don't understand."

Prince Hu Hai muttered to himself in confusion,

He racked his brains to think about it, but still came to no avail.
resignedly,

Prince Hu Hai could only call his confidant, the housekeeper, to his side.

When the butler came to him,

Prince Hu Hai couldn't wait to ask, "Why did Zhao Che keep Yi Xiaochuan, a useless guy, in the mansion for such a long time? Wasn't he afraid that Yi Xiaochuan would make the Imperial Master's Mansion dirty?"

After Prince Hu Hai asked his question, he was waiting impatiently for an answer.
"Sir, I am thinking that even though Yi Xiaochuan has fallen to this point, Master Zhao still took him in. I guess the reason is probably because in Zhao Che's eyes, Yi Xiaochuan still has some value to him."

The housekeeper in the young master's house thought for a moment and then directly stated his guess.
The words fell,

Prince Hu Hai nodded repeatedly. After thinking about it, he found that what the housekeeper said was indeed reasonable.

Yup!

Yi Xiaochuan must still have some value.
Or maybe Yi Xiaochuan is hiding some secrets.
"Could it be that Yi Xiaochuan has discovered some secrets in this mansion, so Zhao Che has been keeping Yi Xiaochuan in the mansion."

Prince Hu Hai realized this belatedly.

Ever since Zhao Che was appointed by his father, this person has never taken him, the eighteenth prince, seriously.

In other words, Zhao Che was planning to use Yi Xiaochuan to deal with him.
"This"

After realizing this, a look of intense fear slowly covered Prince Hu Hai's young face.

The corners of his mouth were still trembling.

He had seen Zhao Che's thunderous methods before.
In addition, the emperor's trust in Zhao Che is obviously greater than that in him as the prince.
slowly,
Prince Hu Hai's heart was also breaking into pieces bit by bit.
Could it be that,
This time, there is really no escape.

What is the secret?

What secrets in the mansion does Yi Xiaochuan know?

Prince Hu Hai did not know this.
In the past few years, he had violated Qin's laws by doing more than just accepting bribes from local officials.

"Immediately send a secret letter to Prime Minister Li Si and ask him for help."

Master Hu Hai looked at the butler and gave a direct order.

Although the left prime minister Li Si has been extremely distant from him recently,
However, there was no explicit statement of withdrawing from his camp.

In other words, Li Si is probably still in a wait-and-see state.

"No, sir."

The housekeeper did not dare to be negligent at all and responded immediately.
"Butler, you can write for me, just write it directly. Prime Minister Li, if you help me get through this difficult time, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Prince Hu Hai continued.

"promise."

So the butler picked up his pen and wrote down what Master Hu Hai had said.

After finishing writing, Prince Hu Hai immediately sent someone to deliver the secret letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

About an hour later,
In the residence of Prime Minister Li Si,

Li Si had apparently received a secret letter from Prince Hu Hai.
After reading this secret letter, Li Si just smiled and stroked his beard, looking unfathomable. No one could guess what he was going to do next.
however,
Li Si simply lit a fire and burned the secret letter into ashes.

"Hu Hai seems to be doomed, yet at this moment, he actually sent me a secret letter."

Li Si said to himself,
At present, the most important thing for him is not to let the incident of Prince Hu Hai affect him.
Where there is life, there is hope.

Protecting yourself is the most important thing.

Li Si also knew that he had served in the Qin court for many years and had never encountered an opponent like Zhao Che.

The appearance of Zhao Che also made Li Si feel a sense of crisis for the first time.

As for the future, what should we do?
Li Si actually still has no idea until now.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

At the house of the young master Hu Hai.

Prince Hu Hai was in his room, waiting anxiously.

The whole person is like an ant on hot pot.

Prince Hu Hai was completely panicked now.

Why did Li Si, the left prime minister who had always supported him, also fail to respond at the critical moment?
"It seems that Li Si is planning to switch sides and join Fusu's side."

Prince Hu Hai realized this.
It seems,

Tomorrow's court meeting can be described as a dangerous place.
Maybe tomorrow's court meeting is actually aimed at him.
What should we do?

After some deep thinking, Prince Hu Hai came up with an idea.
Malingering,

He claimed to be ill and did not go to court.

That should be a good idea.
Maybe, if the emperor doesn’t see his face at the court meeting tomorrow, he will forget about him.

After thinking about this,
Prince Hu Hai immediately drank some ice water and lay down on the bed again, intending to make himself sick in this way so as to avoid going to court the next day.

This night,
For Prince Hu Hai, this was an extremely tormenting experience.

That evening, at Zhao Che's residence,

In the dark and damp little black room where Yi Xiaochuan was imprisoned,
Yi Xiaochuan also had his eyes open, but he was not asleep.
for him,
It was also an extremely difficult night.

he knows,
Your Majesty learned from him the irrefutable evidence that Prince Hu Hai had accepted bribes.
Probably at the court meeting tomorrow, His Majesty will announce the outcome of the treatment of Prince Hu Hai.

That is
His affairs also need to be resolved.

I don't know if Zhao Che will let him go after overthrowing Prince Hu Hai.

Yi Xiaochuan didn't know this.

Zhao Che's personality is unpredictable, and his way of dealing with things is unpredictable.
He also knew very little about Zhao Che.

However, Zhao Che knew Yi Xiaochuan very well.

"Ugh"

"Now it seems that I can only hope that I can be free after tomorrow."

Yi Xiaochuan said to himself,
There is a little hope hidden in that extremely cloudy gaze.
perhaps,

This duel between him and Zhao Che will have a tentative conclusion tomorrow.
for him,
He had no idea whether Zhao Che was going to let him go or kill him?
Whether he lets go or kills him, he cannot change his fate.

Just like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others. (End of this chapter)
