Chapter 223

"Gai Nie, what exactly is going on?"

"Again and again, imperial officials have died at the hands of this ghost."

"Even if this ghost is seeking revenge for Mo'er, there is no need to trample the face of my Great Qin underfoot."

Ying Zheng's weak yet furious voice rang out in the palace.

At this moment, he was like a lion king who had been angered.

His whole body radiated an aura of rage.

As the King of Great Qin, as the First Emperor of Great Qin,

he had supreme power and a status that others could only look up to.

Yet someone suddenly appeared within Xianyanggong,

repeatedly beheading his Great Qin imperial officials.

The first time, he could not care.

The second time, thinking that this person was for his Mo'er, he could also endure it.

But this third time,

the person this ghost killed was his younger brother.

Although he had once had killing intent towards Zhao Mingqu,

he had ultimately not put Zhao Mingqu to death.

Could this not clearly show his meaning?

"Your Majesty, you also know that the ghost is investigating the matter from five years ago."

"Zhao Mingqu being killed by the ghost means that Zhao Mingqu also participated in the matter five years ago."

"Five years ago, it was they who made Young Master Mo unable to return safely from the border."

"It was precisely because of this group of people that my Great Qin fell into chaos."

Gai Nie rarely spoke so many words.

He followed by Ying Zheng's side,

more as Ying Zheng's hired muscle,

helping Ying Zheng deal with everything.

But these people plotted against his most excellent student.

Gai Nie now closed his eyes, and the scene of Young Master Mo back then would emerge in his mind.

That was such an outstanding talent.

Just because of these people's ambition, he died miserably at the border.

The enraged Ying Zheng, after listening to Gai Nie's words, fell into silence for a moment.

"He was for Mo'er."

"He was for my Qilin son."

The further he spoke, the smaller Ying Zheng's voice became.

From his majestic eyes, one could also see a hint of sadness.

He thought of that son who made him proud once again.

Unfortunately, this son would never return.

He was also unable to hand over Great Qin completely to this son's hands.

"I want to see the Father Emperor."

"Father Emperor, your son has an urgent matter to request an audience."

Outside the door, an exceptionally arrogant voice suddenly sounded.

When Ying Zheng heard this voice, the sadness in his eyes flashed and disappeared.

That Emperor of Great Qin returned to him once again.

"Let him in."

At this moment, Ying Zheng's voice was low and majestic.

Even though he was weak, it still could not hide the thick dominance all over his body.

Gai Nie also disappeared within the palace after hearing that voice.

Outside the hall,

Hu Hai, after hearing Ying Zheng's voice, pushed the palace attendants in front of him aside,

walking respectfully into Ying Zheng's great hall.

Seeing Ying Zheng on the sickbed, although weak all over, he could not hide his dominance.

A flash of regret crossed Hu Hai's eyes.

After his most excellent elder brother died,

Hu Hai was full of ambition for the position under Ying Zheng's butt.

"Father Emperor, have you heard about what happened outside Xianyanggong this morning?"

Hu Hai lowered his eyes, hiding the ambition in his eyes.

But what he did not know was

that from the moment he entered this palace, Ying Zheng's gaze had been locked tightly onto him.

Having known countless people and even founded the entire Great Qin,

how could Ying Zheng not see the ambition in Hu Hai's eyes?

In the past, he did not care about these things.

As his son, how could he not have ambition?

On the contrary, he hoped that these sons of his would compete more for the position under his butt.

But now he regretted it.

It was precisely because of this idea of his back then that his proudest son died at the border.

Ying Zheng did not know whether Hu Hai had participated in the matter back then.

But he had already become suspicious of Hu Hai at this moment.

"Tell me in detail."

Ying Zheng did not say whether he had heard of it or not.

Hu Hai, after hearing Ying Zheng's words, thought Ying Zheng had not heard about this morning's matter.

A flash of excitement crossed his eyes.

Subsequently, he told Ying Zheng the whole story of Zhao Mingqu's matter.

Hu Hai naturally had also heard of Zhao Baili and Zhao Gao's deaths.

When he first heard about Zhao Gao's death, panic also arose in his heart.

But soon, he calmed down completely.

He was a Prince of the entire Great Qin.

Apart from Ying Zheng, no one could be more noble than him.

Even if that ghost wanted to kill him,

I am afraid it would not be an easy matter.

Hu Hai had full confidence in the strength of the entire Great Qin.

After a secret talk with that person last night,
