Chapter 561

Feng Quji watched the movements over at the imperial palace.

He had been waiting for Donghuang Taiyi to send him a message.

According to what they had agreed upon, if Donghuang Taiyi and the others reached the imperial palace,

they would immediately send a message to notify him, so that he could also head over.

By that time, Donghuang Taiyi would likely have already seized control of the situation.

His own arrival, along with the others, would then have a logical and natural justification.

"Let's wait a little longer; it should be soon."

Feng Quji himself was also finding the cold unbearable, but he dared not be careless.

His attention was tightly focused on the direction of the imperial palace, not daring to miss even the slightest scrap of information.

…………

Inside the imperial palace.

Ying Zheng stood up from his bed for the first time, dressed in his dragon robe.

"Since I was able to conquer the six states and unify the entire Great Qin."

"I will certainly not fear those petty, insignificant people."

Ying Zheng's figure was cold and majestic.

Ying Mo looked toward him.

Immediately, a crisp, low chirping sound reached his ears.

Upon hearing this sound, his expression shifted slightly.

Then, his figure flashed, and he quickly appeared outside the bedchamber.

"What has happened?"

This crisp, low chirping sound was the secret signal they used to notify each other of information.

"Young Master, a group of troops has already appeared in Xianyang City."

"The one leading them is none other than Wang Ben of the Wang family."

"However, what is strange is that Wang Jian does not seem to have participated in this matter."

"At this moment, Wang Jian has blocked Wang Ben at the city gate of Xianyang."

Lu Li told Ying Mo everything he had learned.

"There is one more thing: Feng Quji and Li Zhen are currently outside the imperial palace, waiting for an opportunity."

"I suspect they have long since had a premeditated plan."

"They are likely waiting for the right moment to enter the palace and announce that Hu Hai is the next successor."

Lu Li continued.

Although a large number of personnel were gathered within the imperial palace, they had not relaxed their surveillance on those who needed to be watched.

As early as when Feng Quji first made suspicious moves, the people from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion had already sensed it.

At this moment, the people from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion were hiding around Feng Quji and Li Zhen, monitoring their every move.

"Hmm."

Ying Mo gave a soft hum.

He had long known that these people would absolutely not sit idly by and wait for death tonight.

"Have everyone get ready."

"Tonight, no one will be able to escape."

Ying Mo continued.

His eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Yes."

After conveying the news to Ying Mo, Lu Li left immediately.

He had to report the Young Master's message in the shortest possible time.

When Ying Mo appeared in Ying Zheng's bedchamber once more, Ying Zheng's gaze turned toward him.

"What exactly is happening outside?"

Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty, the Wang family has rebelled."

Watching Zhang Han said.

He had already received the news that a group of troops had appeared in Xianyang City, and they were indeed people from the Wang family.

"Hmph."

"I had suspected both the Wang family and Li Si from the beginning."

"I just didn't expect the Wang family to be able to hide it until now."

"Since they have also participated in this matter, let us thoroughly purge the entire power structure of Great Qin."

Ying Zheng's eyes were cold.

"There is one thing that is very strange."

Watching Zhang Han continued to speak.

"Hmm?"

Ying Zheng looked at him.

"The Wang family seems to have only had Wang Ben participate in this rebellion."

"The news sent back indicates that Wang Jian seems to have blocked Wang Ben at the city gate of Xianyang."

"Your Majesty, look..."

Regarding such a situation, Watching Zhang Han was also somewhat hesitant.

If the Wang family had truly rebelled,

the main army would have already appeared in the vicinity of the imperial palace.

Why would Wang Jian block Wang Ben at the city gate?

"Isn't this clear enough?"

Ying Mo spoke up.

"Wang Ben participated in this incident, and he also participated in the events of five years ago."

"That old fox Wang Jian should not be involved in this kind of thing."

"He spent his whole life calculating, yet he never calculated that his own only son would participate in such a thing."

The corners of Ying Mo's mouth curled into a cold smile.

Regardless of whether Wang Jian actually participated in the events of that year,

the convenience that Wang Jian and the Wang family provided allowed Wang Ben to participate in this matter.

Therefore, he would not let the Wang family off either.

Upon hearing Ying Mo's words, the two of them suddenly realized.

"Old General Wang has been loyal to the monarch and patriotic his whole life; he should not be involved in this matter."

Watching Zhang Han said.

He had been wondering why he felt the Wang family had always been strange;

clearly, he could detect traces of the Wang family in certain matters, yet Old General Wang always appeared open and aboveboard.

He once thought it was because of his own investigative errors, or that Old General Wang was simply too insidious.

Now it seems that the strange feeling from back then was precisely because Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben held different stances.
