Having achieved the result she wanted, Luna intended to leave.

Her steps moved slightly, and her gaze fell upon the man in black lying limp on the ground.

With her back to Ying Zheng and Ying Mo, Luna's gaze flickered, but her steps did not pause.

She had recognized the identity of this man in black; it was the leader.

But she dared not rashly take action to save the leader now.

After all, even the leader was no match for this Ghost; even if she took action, she would only face the same result as the leader.

Watching Luna leave, Donghuang Taiyi, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes slightly.

Watching Luna's back slowly recede, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

It seemed that even if he died at the hands of this Ghost, the Yin-Yang School would not completely collapse.

From Luna's series of words just now, he had already guessed her intentions.

Luna wanted to use this matter to raise her status in Ying Zheng's heart.

Since they had no way to eliminate Ying Zheng, they could only leverage the power of Great Qin through their own strength.

However, soon, a trace of worry flashed in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes.

After all, Ying Zheng and the Ghost were in a cooperative relationship.

If the Ghost truly discovered that the Yin-Yang School was also one of the culprits from back then, would Ying Zheng choose to help the Yin-Yang School because of Luna?

"Move!"

A sharp shout rang out in his ear, and Donghuang Taiyi was lifted up.

At this moment, his body, which was like a pile of rotten meat, would likely not have been able to move an inch if he hadn't been lifted.

A look of humiliation immediately appeared in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes.

"Leave him to me."

Ying Mo turned to look at Ying Zheng and spoke.

Because there was some hesitation in this gaze, as he also wanted to know the identity of this man in black.

However, thinking that this man in black had been captured by the Ghost himself.

"I hope to get a result."

Ying Zheng relented.

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Ying Mo nodded slightly.

Then his figure immediately disappeared from before Ying Zheng.

Tonight's events were actually mostly resolved.

His main goal tonight was this man in black, and now the man in black had been completely captured by him.

As for Wang Ben, Feng Quji, and others, they naturally would not be taken seriously by Ying Mo.

"Have Lu Bing take action to eliminate Wang Ben and Feng Quji."

Ying Mo's voice rang in Lu Li's ear.

At this moment, Ying Zheng also heard the news about Wang Jian from Eunuch Zhuo.

"Your Majesty, the old General Wang has been waiting outside the palace for about an hour."

Eunuch Zhuo said softly.

Tonight's events had completely terrified him.

First, the poisoning of Young Master Huhai, then the death of Young Master Huhai.

Now, Young Master Huhai's corpse was still lying quietly in His Majesty's sleeping quarters.

Eunuch Zhuo was still shocked by Young Master Huhai's audacity.

Then there was the rash attack by the Wang family army attempting to rebel, and the sudden appearance of the man in black.

Eunuch Zhuo had originally thought that they would inevitably die at the hands of this man in black.

Yet he did not expect that such a powerful expert existed by His Majesty's side.

In just a few moments, the man in black had been completely dealt with.

Eunuch Zhuo's heart was in turmoil.

So, after learning the report from the subordinates, Eunuch Zhuo immediately reported the news to His Majesty.

Ying Zheng's eyes were inscrutable upon learning that Wang Jian had been waiting outside the palace for an hour.

"Let him in."

After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng spoke.

Then, the group arrived at the study.

Fusu followed silently behind Ying Zheng.

After tonight, he realized how deep his father's strategy was.

If he had faced such a scene tonight, he would likely have been eliminated by those rebellious ministers and thieves long ago.

Fusu looked at Ying Zheng with complex emotions, and his gaze also carried a trace of admiration.

Previously, the admiration in his gaze had always been focused on his elder brother.

Every time he heard news of his elder brother's victories from the battlefield.

The admiration in Fusu's eyes would increase a little.

He had always known his father was very capable, but he had never admired Ying Zheng the way he admired his elder brother.

But after facing tonight's events, Fusu immediately transferred his admiration for Ying Mo to Ying Zheng.

"Father, when did you discover that something was wrong with these people?"

Fusu followed behind Ying Zheng and finally could not help but ask.

Because there were so many things, Ying Zheng subconsciously forgot that Fusu was following him.

After hearing Fusu's voice, he regained his composure.

"As an emperor, the entire Great Qin is under my control."

"If you cannot even control your own things, how can you talk about controlling others?"

Ying Zheng said pointedly.

Seeing Fusu, he sighed heavily in his heart.

He finally knew.

Why those people had gone to such great lengths to deal with his eldest imperial son.

This second son was taught by those sour Confucian scholars to only know the benevolence, righteousness, and shame of a scholar.

He had no trace of the killing intent and decisiveness of a ruler.

Coupled with the excessive influence of Confucianism on his thinking.

Ying Zheng was very worried that Fusu would become a puppet emperor for the Confucian school.

His youngest son was foolish and arrogant.

He could not see the painstaking efforts of the group behind him at all.

He blindly assumed that those people could only choose him.

A feeling of sorrow welled up in Ying Zheng's heart.

But no matter how much regret he had, he could only look at Fusu.

This son.

Had not yet reached the point of being completely hopeless.

He could only help him resolve those worries before his own body completely collapsed.

He did not hope that this son could develop Great Qin into something massive.

He only hoped that this son could hold onto the foundation of their Ying family.

Fusu listened to Ying Zheng's words, and a look of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

Things in his own hands?

He was not a stupid person and could naturally tell from his father's tone just now that this was his father's guidance to him.

His father would not say such things for no reason.

The only possibility was that he was being pointed.

Fusu's brows slowly furrowed.

Could it be that there were things of his own that he had not mastered?

Only by mastering one's own things could one master others.

After pondering for a long time, Fusu still had no clue.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, and Wang Jian walked in from outside.

What surprised Ying Zheng and Fusu was that Wang Jian was actually followed by Feng Quji and Li Zhen.

Upon seeing Feng Quji, a flash of killing intent appeared in Ying Zheng's eyes.
