Chapter 101: Right Chancellor Feng Quji, suspicious of the elixir, a monstrous conspiracy

"I have said all that needs to be said; take care of yourself."

"As for the cooperation you mentioned, I agree to it."

Ying Mo took one last look at Qin Shi Huang, then turned and left without looking back.

He could no longer control the killing intent in his heart.

Li Si…

Wang Jian…

……

He was deciding who the next target would be.

Xianyang City, East City.

This place was quite a distance from the gates of Xianyang City, so the commoners were not too affected.

Feng Quji was still walking slowly along the street with his servant.

The teahouse was already full of people.

"Hey, have you heard about what happened this morning?"

"Look at you, such a big thing happened this morning, how could I not have heard of it?"

"I heard that the corpse is still hanging at the city gate."

"I don't know what crime the Prince committed to be hung at the city gate."

"Keep your voice down, how can we discuss these things?"

……

Inside the teahouse, every table of guests was discussing the events of the morning in low voices.

It was simply because this matter was too sensational.

Feng Quji naturally heard the discussions of the people present.

Seeing him arrive, those who were whispering stopped their discussions.

"Please, continue."

Feng Quji said to the people in the teahouse with a smile.

The people in the teahouse all knew what kind of personality Feng Quji had.

Seeing him speak, they immediately returned to normal.

"Lord Chancellor, you must have heard about what happened this morning, right?"

Someone said to Feng Quji in a low voice.

"I have heard a little about this matter."

Feng Quji nodded.

Subsequently, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it alone.

He had already been isolated from the imperial court.

When such a big thing happened, he only learned the news along with the commoners.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Feng Quji’s face.

The person who had spoken to him, seeing that Feng Quji did not seem to have any intention of talking,

hesitated for a moment, and finally turned and left.

In the entire teahouse, only Feng Quji was left sitting alone at a table.

A table in the corner was just discussing this Chancellor.

"You say this Chancellor, holding a high position, why does he come to this teahouse to drink tea every day?"

"You don't know about this, do you? I heard from my second great-uncle’s older brother that this Chancellor, although his official position is very high, has no real power in his hands."

Someone who seemed to know some inside information said in a low voice.

His words successfully attracted the attention of the people nearby.

"Brother, tell us in detail."

This person also knew the environment of the scene, so he deliberately lowered his voice.

The person who had spoken before clearly did not expect that he would attract so much attention.

But he enjoyed the feeling of being held in the center by others.

He raised his head and glanced at Feng Quji, who was drinking tea nearby.

He coughed in a low voice, and then told everyone the inside information he knew.

"This Chancellor of ours is the Right Chancellor, his status is even higher than Chancellor Li."

"But he, he is simply not as favored by His Majesty as Chancellor Li, and over time, he was naturally excluded from the center of power by Chancellor Li."

This person clearly also knew some of the ropes.

As early as when that group of people gathered together, they had already been noticed by Feng Quji.

Although he was a scholar,

he was not a flower-vase who only knew how to read.

The good skills he had learned allowed him to hear clearly what those people were discussing.

Upon hearing what that person said, a bitter smile appeared in Feng Quji’s eyes.

That person was right.

His official position was indeed higher than that of Li Si.

Originally, he should have tightly suppressed Li Si, leaving him unable to turn over.

Yet he did not expect that fellow to have some kind of luck.

He actually gained the favor of His Majesty.

From then on, he was directly squeezed out of the center of power.

Until now.

He had completely become a free spirit in the imperial court.

Feng Quji’s hand unconsciously clenched the teacup in his hand.

Li Si!

Hatred appeared in his eyes.

If it weren't for that person, who would be willing to be a free spirit?

Who would be willing to drift outside the imperial court?

Feng Quji tried hard to calm his emotions.

"My lord, someone is here to see you."

The old steward of the mansion suddenly walked in from outside the door.

He walked to Feng Quji’s side and said in a low voice.

"Oh? Someone is here to see me?"

It was no wonder Feng Quji felt surprised.

Ever since he had been tightly suppressed by Li Si,

those people in the imperial court who followed the wind had never come to his door again.

"My lord, let’s go back and see."

The old steward also could not say who those people were, and could only urge Feng Quji to go back quickly.

He drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

Feng Quji flicked his sleeves, then stood up and walked toward his mansion.

He wanted to see.

Who exactly was visiting today.

……

Qin Shi Huang and Ge Nie finally returned to the palace.

As soon as they returned, Qin Shi Huang said to Ge Nie.

"Go and investigate for me."

"Whether it is Wang Jian or Li Si, investigate carefully what happened to them five years ago."

"I want to know the whole truth."

At this moment, Qin Shi Huang’s face was as gloomy as water.

Today’s meeting with the Ghost.

Could be considered to have completely torn the sandpaper off his face.

It allowed him to see clearly the thoughts of the people below.

It also let him know clearly that the supremacy he had thought he possessed no longer existed.

After Ge Nie nodded, he soon disappeared from the palace.

"Someone come."

Qin Shi Huang said to the outside.

Zhang Han soon walked in from outside.

Qin Shi Huang’s gaze was fixed tightly on this old man who had followed him for many years.

Zhang Han only felt that the gaze upon him was incomparably heavy.

He did not know what had happened when His Majesty went out of the palace this time.

But he faintly felt that His Majesty must have learned something during this trip.

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Han lowered his head and stood by Qin Shi Huang’s side.

"Find me a living creature."

Qin Shi Huang’s gaze at this moment was incomparably deep.

Zhang Han did not understand Qin Shi Huang’s meaning, but a palace maid soon appeared before Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang’s gaze looked at this palace maid without any emotion.
