Zhao Ji patted her chest and took a few breaths.
His face gradually calmed down.
She could tell that if she didn't speak out today, Ying Zheng might not let it go.
"Yes, it is indeed related to this palace."
Ying Zheng's face was serious, waiting for Zhao Ji's next words.
Zhao Ji stood up slowly.
He said slowly: "Cheng Xi has not rebelled."
"what?"
Ying Zheng was shocked, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Ji repeated it again and explained by the way: "Cheng Xi has never rebelled from beginning to end. His crime was imposed on him by this palace."
Ying Zheng suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
The fists behind him were clenched white.
No wonder he was so excited when he asked Cheng Xi about it in Zilanxuan!
"Why did you do this?"
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with anger.
Cheng Yu had a deep relationship with him since childhood.
To say that he died because of rebellion was because he was just unhappy in his heart.
But now, he was clearly wronged!
And the person who wronged him was actually his most trusted mother.
The person you trusted the most killed the person closest to you.
No one can accept this for a while.
Zhao Ji snorted coldly: "Why?"
"Of course it's for you and your throne!"
Cheng Yu is Ying Zheng's half-brother, and his status is equally noble.
He has a great reputation in both the government and the public of Qin State.
When he was 15 years old, he went to South Korea as an envoy to Korea on behalf of the State of Qin.
Forced South Korea to cut off hundreds of miles of land and donate it to Qin.
He made great contributions at a young age, so he was canonized as Lord of Chang'an.
Compared to Ying Zheng who now has no power and cannot even speak a word in court.
His influence among officials and the court was actually greater.
In addition, his biological mother was from a Korean noble family.
If he ever develops second thoughts and causes civil strife, he will definitely not lack supporters.
Moreover, for Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng has gradually become out of control in recent years.
If he were cruel enough to support Cheng Xiu in power, then Ying Zheng would have no chance of winning.
So Zhao Ji made the same choice as Lu Buwei.
Nip threats in the bud.
Ying Zheng's loss of control is a threat to Lu Buwei.
Cheng Xi's reputation is also a threat to her!
Ying Zheng suppressed the anger in his eyes and said solemnly: "But Cheng Yu has never had such thoughts!"
"But he has the ability!"
Zhao Ji interrupted him with a soft drink.
Looking mercilessly at Ying Zheng outside the gauze curtain, he said word by word: "This is his crime."
Ying Zheng gritted his steel teeth tightly, and the corners of his eyes trembled uncontrollably.
I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.
Zhao Ji calmed down and said softly: "Have you ever thought about what would happen to our mother and son if Lu Buwei supported Cheng Xi and drove you from the throne?"
Suddenly, her tone suddenly turned cold.
He said in a cold voice: "Zheng'er, remember, if you want to achieve great things, you can also kill your closest relatives!"
Ying Zheng was shocked all over!
He looked at the hazy figure behind the gauze curtain in shock, and said nothing for a long time.
After a long time, he said in a low voice: "If there is no success, Lu Buwei also takes action."
"What did you say?"
This time, it was Zhao Ji's turn to be shocked.
Lu Buwei is now extremely powerful.
But without Cheng Xi, did he kill Ying Zheng because he wanted to become the monarch himself?
Ying Zheng regained his composure and said solemnly: "Mother, do you know why I sneaked away from Xianyang, but let the border guards escort me back with great fanfare?"
Zhao Ji frowned.
Asked: "Aren't you aware of Wang Ye's rebellious intentions and are you worried that something will happen again in the future?"
A cold light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes: "Actually, I was assassinated when I was in South Korea."
Zhao Ji felt nervous and asked quickly: "Have you been injured?"
Ying Zheng slowly shook his head.
"Fortunately, I was helped by an expert and escaped unscathed."
Zhao Ji nodded slightly, feeling relieved.
"In this case, this person should be rewarded heavily."
Ying Zheng continued: "Wang Ye's rebellious intentions were not noticed by a few people, but by the high-ranking person who had foreseen the matter in advance."
"It was him who reminded me that we were safe."
There was doubt in Zhao Ji's eyes.
"What's going on?"
"You mean that he had already guessed that Wang Ye would murder you?"
Ying Zheng nodded: "Not only that, this person is also considered to be the key to Meng Tian's comeback in Wu Sui's camp."
Zhao Ji frowned tightly, and the look in her eyes changed from doubt to surprise.
Curious: "You mean, he has seen through everything a long time ago?"
Ying Zheng raised his hand towards Zhao Ji and said seriously: "Yes, I am here and there is something I want to discuss with my mother."
Everything above is just to know Zhao Ji's attitude and stance.
What follows is the purpose of his coming here this time.
Half an hour later, Ying Zheng walked out of the palace.
He raised his head to face the cold wind and took a deep breath.
Time passed little by little.
The night passed almost in a blink of an eye.
The closed door of Xianyang Palace was slowly pushed open.
The door was already filled with orderly civil and military officials.
Lu Buwei stood at the front with his head held high.
After the palace door opened wide, he stepped into the palace door with steady steps.
After entering the main hall, the civil and military officials sat on two sides.
Not long after, Ying Zheng's figure appeared in front of the officials amid the eunuch's sharp voice.
The last Zhao Ji came late.
He sat behind the curtain as usual.
Ying Zheng stood in front of the high throne, his eyes sweeping over the civil and military officials one by one.
The majestic gaze makes people feel fearful.
This young monarch's imperial aura seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
Lu Buwei frowned slightly.
Then stretch out again.
Because he found that Ying Zheng's eyes did not stay on him.
It's still the same as before, no change at all.
Except for a few people, Ying Zheng's reappearance in the court did not cause much disturbance.
After all, the person behind the gauze curtain and the leader of the officials, Lu Buwei, is the one who really calls the shots in Qin.
The meeting went on as usual.
Officials from various ministries read out their reports in an orderly manner.
It wasn't until the end of this process that Ying Zheng's sharp eyes lit up.
He said slowly: "Since you have nothing to say to me, I do have something to say."
As soon as these words came out, the officials below suddenly had different expressions.
