Chapter 269

Fusu had originally looked at them somewhat blankly, but as they spoke more and more, his expression became increasingly ugly.

Although he had suspected these two before, he had never linked them to tonight's events.

He had always thought these two had only secretly placed people in the palace to monitor the dynamics within the palace.

He did not expect that the two were actually connected to that group of people behind the scenes.

And even that their entry into the palace tonight was just to ensure that Huhai could successfully inherit that position.

He, as an imperial prince, was also one of their plans, an object they wanted to eliminate.

Fusu's expression turned gloomy.

He had never thought that these people would have such audacity.

"You group of audacious people, you actually dare to do such things."

"Father, such people must absolutely not be spared lightly."

Fusu immediately turned his head and said to Ying Zheng with a serious expression.

He did not expect that there were so many people involved in the plan tonight; besides the mastermind, there were so many small fry.

And these people were all ministers of his Great Qin.

Fusu had always known that some people in the martial arts world were dissatisfied with Great Qin's rule.

He was not surprised at all that these people would do such things.

But he did not expect that their Great Qin officials would also be involved.

Those people from the martial arts world were actually colluding with Great Qin officials, intending to rebel against his Ying family's imperial power.

Knowing all this, anger also appeared in Fusu's eyes.

"Hmph."

A heavy cold snort rang out, and then the entire study fell into silence.

Li Zhen and Feng Quji were originally still accusing each other.

With this cold snort from Ying Zheng, both felt a powerful force.

Then, their chests seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. A fishy sweetness surged in their throats.

Li Zhen's body was weaker, and a mouthful of blood was spat directly from his mouth.

Then he became extremely weak and collapsed on the ground.

Feng Quji, because of previous reasons, had maintained his body relatively well.

Instead, he swallowed that fishy sweetness back.

But both knew that Ying Zheng was angry.

"I did not know that my Chancellor and Clan Elder actually had such thoughts."

Ying Zheng's voice sounded cold.

It was like an ice ball, spinning in the hearts of the two.

"I beg Your Majesty to spare me; I was truly blinded by greed to do such a thing."

Li Zhen lay on the ground, begging bitterly.

At the same time, his eyes were constantly darting around.

Suddenly, he thought of his wife and the power behind his wife.

Perhaps the Prince of Zhenbei could save his life.

Li Zhen did not expect that the wife he had treated like garbage would be his only lifeline at this moment.

He had originally thought that if the plan succeeded, he would completely divorce that tigress.

All of this was truly playing tricks on people.

Unlike Li Zhen, who was trying to struggle.

Feng Quji, who was nearby, seemed to have accepted his fate; a look of despair appeared in his eyes.

The matter had progressed to this point; His Majesty already had solid evidence.

And everything he had done was seen by His Majesty.

His entry into the palace was likely all a push by His Majesty.

Now, no matter what he said, His Majesty would no longer spare him.

A bitter smile appeared on Feng Quji's face.

He thought he could calculate everyone and play Ying Zheng and the entire palace in the palm of his hand.

He thought he would be the one controlling the entire game.

Yet he did not expect that he had already become a piece on the chessboard without knowing it.

Without him noticing at all.

Executing step by step according to the chess player's intentions.

As expected of the Emperor who could unify the six states.

A feeling of admiration and despair appeared in Feng Quji's heart.

Everything he did was to fulfill his own ambition.

He attempted to gain greater power, but forgot...

In this world, the one who could possess the greatest power would always be that one person.

And that was the man who had unified the six states by his own strength.

He thought that man was already old and weak.

Underestimation and contempt appeared in his heart.

This was the reason for everything today.

"Take these two away and behead them tomorrow."

Ying Zheng spoke, and his gaze no longer looked at the two.

Usually, those thrown into prison would not be beheaded so hastily.

Beheading a prisoner would definitely require choosing a date.

Yet he did not expect that Ying Zheng seemed to not want to wait any longer and ordered them to be beheaded tomorrow directly.

Even if some people behind the scenes wanted to plot and save them, it would be impossible.

Zhang Han received Ying Zheng's order and immediately detained the two.

Li Zhen was still begging incessantly along the way, while Feng Quji had long since given up struggling.

"It's all your fault, Feng Quji; why did you let me participate in this plan?"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this today."

"You deserve to die, you deserve to die."

Realizing that the matter was settled and could not be reversed.

Li Zhen completely collapsed and began to curse Feng Quji frantically.

Feng Quji, who had always kept a straight face, had a cold smile appear on his face after hearing Li Zhen's words.

"If you had no desire in your heart."

"If I spoke, would you listen?"

"All of this was created by your own ambition."

He said coldly.

He and Li Zhen were just the same kind of people.

Both had massive ambitions and wanted to climb upward.

Unfortunately, their minds had long been twisted.

After speaking, Feng Quji did not even look at Li Zhen and turned to walk into a cell.

Winners are kings, losers are bandits.

He accepted it.
