Chapter 181: Life Taken Before the Sword Appears!

"It is precisely because it is small that it is easy to control!"

Su Xuan responded to Yan Lingji's words.

"Have you not noticed? Since we arrived here, we have already fallen under the surveillance of others."

Yan Lingji's gaze tightened. "Indeed, there is someone imposing martial law in secret."

"It seems you were right; that Marquis of Changxin Lao Ai truly has ambition and intends to plot mischief."

Yan Lingji did not know about the affairs between Lao Ai and Zhao Ji, nor did she know that he had developed the heart of rebellion long ago, but Su Xuan had indeed, in front of her, asked Gai Nie to pass a message to Ying Zheng, telling him to be careful of Lao Ai.

This matter had been predicted correctly by Su Xuan again, and Yan Lingji could not help but marvel.

At the same time, she could not help but feel a bit of sympathy for Ying Zheng.

Although the Qin Guo was powerful and the Qin Wang's status was noble, this Qin Wang lived even worse than the Han Wang.

Although the Han State had powerful officials like Ji Wuye causing chaos in the court, at least there were not so many people wanting to harm the Han Wang.

But the Qin Guo was different.

Lu Buwei had already plotted to harm the Qin Wang several times, and another new favorite in the court, the Marquis of Changxin, also harbored evil intentions.

These two, one inside and one outside, represented the two major factions of the Chancellor and the Empress Dowager.

It meant that in the vast Qin Guo, the Qin Wang actually had no one to use; this was truly tragic.

Putting away the emotion in her heart, Yan Lingji asked Su Xuan again: "How do you plan to help the Qin Wang?"

Su Xuan smiled mysteriously and did not answer this question.

The two strolled around Yongcheng for a while, and then, feeling uninspired, returned to their temporary residence.

The main reason was that Yongcheng was too small.

Coupled with the fact that the Qin Wang's capping ceremony was near and martial law was imposed everywhere, there was really nothing worth seeing.

Although with Su Xuan and Yan Lingji's strength, no one could stop them from sightseeing, it would ultimately cause some disturbance.

The two stayed in Yongcheng for several days.

Ying Zheng also stayed in Qinian Palace for several days. During these days, he ate and lived in Qinian Palace for seven consecutive days. Finally, at noon on this day, the gates of Qinian Palace slowly swung open, and Ying Zheng walked out of Qinian Palace, about to head to the ancestral temple in Yongcheng to hold the capping ceremony. ===== CHAPTER 183 =====
