Chapter 278

Among the two candidates, Prince Fusu and Hu Hai, only Prince Fusu was more suitable for this position.

Although Prince Fusu's personality was a bit kind, a ruler can be kind, but absolutely cannot be incompetent.

Hu Hai's incompetence would only lead the entire Qin State to destruction.

Wang Jian, General Meng Tian, Li Si, and several other ministers also all entered the imperial palace.

Obviously, they also knew what kind of juncture had been reached now.

These few people all waited outside the palace.

The cold wind was bleak, and General Meng Tian stood there with a cold face.

He didn't know what the outcome would be after tonight.

He only knew that no matter who Ying Zheng handed this position to, he was loyal to the entire Great Qin.

Hearing Ying Mo naturally had long since arrived at Ying Zheng's Qin Palace.

Sitting on the high rafters, watching the fatherly kindness and filial piety below.

Regarding his understanding of Ying Zheng, Hearing Ying Mo naturally knew that Ying Zheng already intended to hand the throne below to Prince Fusu.

Hearing Ying Mo did not know what the Qin State would become if the throne really reached Prince Fusu's hands.

"You two stay on the side for now."

After Ying Zheng spoke for a while, he revealed a weak expression and finally let the few people waiting outside come in.

As soon as General Meng Tian walked into the main hall, he saw the pale-faced Ying Zheng.

His eyes moved.

Li Si followed behind General Meng Tian, and the three soon arrived in front of Ying Zheng.

"You are all good ministers who have been by my side for a long time; Great Qin being able to be like this, you all have made indispensable contributions."

Looking at the three people in front of him, Ying Zheng said calmly.

When saying these words, he suddenly felt a bit like laughing.

Among the three people in front of him, besides General Meng Tian being able to detach himself from the events of five years ago.

Li Si followed and directly participated in the events of five years ago.

Although Wang Jian had not been investigated, the suspicion that he was still heavily involved in the events of five years ago remained.

Two of the three meritorious ministers under his command had actually participated in the plot to harm his eldest imperial son.

What a ridiculous thing this was.

If that child were really still alive, I'm afraid he wouldn't come back to see him either.

………

Outside the palace, Donghuang Taiyi and Bei Mingzi successfully crossed the guards and entered the imperial palace.

The two of them, without anyone noticing, quickly approached Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters.

Along this path, there was not a single guard who could discover anything wrong.

Just as the two's aura had just approached the palace where Ying Zheng was,

Hearing Ying Mo, who was originally bored and hanging on the rafters, suddenly raised his eyes.

He felt two auras approaching rapidly towards this side.

Upon feeling someone approaching, Hearing Ying Mo quickly extinguished one of the candle flames.

This was the secret signal they had agreed upon with Ying Zheng.

When Zhang Han saw the candle flame go out, he knew someone had come.

Subsequently, he hurriedly stepped forward and interrupted Ying Zheng's words.

"Your Majesty, it is time to take your medicine."

After speaking, Zhang Han took out an elixir from his bosom and handed it to Ying Zheng.

After Ying Zheng heard Zhang Han's words, his gaze flickered.

He understood that those people had now entered the palace.

"You all go down and wait for now."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaling Prince Fusu, Hu Hai, and the others to go down and wait.

Subsequently, he swallowed the elixir in his hand into his stomach, then pretended to be weak and lay on the bed with his eyes drooping.

Donghuang Taiyi and Bei Mingzi, who were outside the sleeping quarters, saw Ying Zheng's situation with their own eyes.

"He should not have discovered the problem with the elixir and is still taking it continuously."

"Originally, according to the amount of elixir he took, he should have died several months ago."

"Perhaps it was the rare treasures and herbs offered as tribute before that dissipated some of the toxicity in his body, allowing him to survive until now."

Donghuang Taiyi whispered to Bei Mingzi.

Bei Mingzi nodded; looking at Ying Zheng like this, it was indeed the appearance of exhaustion.

"If it really doesn't work, let's just get rid of him tonight."

Bei Mingzi proposed.

As long as Ying Zheng did not die for a day, he was a knife hanging over the head of his Legalist school.

Bei Mingzi naturally did not want to be affected by this knife every day.

And Donghuang Taiyi's thoughts coincided with 770 Bei Mingzi's.

Since they had come out this time, let's thoroughly get rid of Ying Zheng.

Subsequently, take control of the entire Great Qin into their own hands.

"There are a total of twelve guards here; you and I will each be responsible for half."

With Donghuang Taiyi's strength, he naturally had long since explored the guards hidden in the shadows throughout the palace clearly.

Xuan Mingzi's strength was only weaker than Donghuang's.

After the two nodded, their figures immediately disappeared into the darkness.

What the two did not know was that as soon as they disappeared, a figure appeared from the darkness.

Hearing Ying Mo slowly walked out from the darkness, looking at these two figures with cold and murderous eyes.

These two were obviously the real culprits who participated in the events of five years ago.

It was just unexpected that these two were so cautious, wrapping their entire bodies under black robes.

But since they had appeared, then don't plan on leaving here alive tonight.

Just after Donghuang Taiyi and Bei Mingzi had gotten rid of all twelve guards, they entered the sleeping quarters directly.

When the two approached Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes directly.

Where was there any weakness or turbidity in those eyes?

In those eyes, there was only sharpness, murderous intent, and a hint of realization.
