Chapter 189

In the ancestral temple.

The capping ceremony official Lu Buwei waited quietly for Ying Zheng to come here. The sounds of fighting outside had already reached this side, once attracting the attention of many ministers observing the ceremony, but Lu Buwei did not let them act rashly.

Although the many ministers had their own thoughts, this was, after all, Lu Buwei's request, and they ultimately suppressed themselves.

After waiting for a while, the sounds of fighting outside stopped.

Everyone was curious about what had happened outside.

Then they saw Ying Zheng step into the ancestral temple.

"Your Majesty, outside?"

Seeing Ying Zheng step into the ancestral temple, Lord Gangcheng Cai Ze hurriedly asked Ying Zheng. Lord Gangcheng Cai Ze could also be considered an old minister of the Qin Guo; in terms of seniority, he was older than Lu Buwei.

He was the Chancellor of King Zhaoxiang recommended by Fan Ju. After King Zhaoxiang died, he experienced the reigns of King Xiaowen and King Zhuangxiang, and by the time of Ying Zheng, he was already a minister of four reigns.

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Marquis of Changxin Lao Ai started an army to cause chaos, intending to kill me. He has already been executed!"

One sentence caused many high-ranking officials of the Qin Guo to be shocked.

Earlier, the sounds of fighting had come from outside, and they realized that something might have happened; yet, they had not expected that Lao Ai would be a scoundrel with such wild ambitions, intending to harm His Majesty.

This matter made them feel awe, and they could not calm down for a long time.

Ying Zheng did not say much more. He looked at Lu Buwei, whose eyes were lowered, and said: "Zhongfu, the auspicious time has arrived; it is time to start the capping ceremony for me!"

The execution of Lao Ai made Lu Buwei's heart very chaotic. He did not expect Lao Ai to be so useless. After hearing Ying Zheng's words, he hurriedly came back to his senses. "Yes!"

He did not know what tone he used to say this.

But he realized one thing.

With the execution of Lao Ai, he seemed to have... lost.

Lost!

Before this, he had never thought of this word, but now, he had to admit that he had lost.

Once in Xinzheng, once at the Wu Sui border, and this time... several crises were all turned into safety by Ying Zheng, and the things Lao Ai had planned for a long time ended in failure.

Although Luo Wang was lurking in the dark at this moment, as long as he gave an order, Luo Wang assassins could swarm out, and regardless of whether Ying Zheng was the King of Qin, they would obey his orders and kill Ying Zheng.

But Lu Buwei hesitated, and in the end, he did not give that order.

As long as he destroyed the letter sent to Lao Ai, as long as he erased all the evidence, he would still be the current Chancellor, the King of Qin's Zhongfu, and there would still be room for maneuver between him and Ying Zheng.

Lu Buwei developed a trace of fluke.

With a complex mood, he performed the capping ceremony for Ying Zheng.

While Lu Buwei was performing the capping ceremony for Ying Zheng.

In another part of the Yongcheng palace.

A man with a gloomy appearance looked at the person before him, his voice indifferent. "Lao Ai is dead. From now on, you are my people!"

After he said this, he glanced to the side at a child being held by someone.

Lao Ai and Empress Dowager Zhao Ji had given birth to two children in total.

Since Ying Zheng knew about that matter and had now executed Lao Ai, these two children clearly would not survive.

No matter what, Lao Ai was his old superior; letting the old superior have no descendants was a bit unreasonable.

Therefore, he prepared to save one of the two children.

And this child, saved by him, because of his father's hatred and his brother's hatred, the power of hatred would drive him to become a sharp weapon in his hands. ===== CHAPTER 191 =====
