Chapter 194

Although they did not know what medicine the Qin Wang had taken.

However, they also knew that this seemed to be a good thing.

And so, they also chose to take a step back, giving the Qin Wang a way to save face.

Seeing that the ministers were no longer opposing him, Ying Zheng could not help but think of the letter Su Xuan had given him, and subsequently proposed the matter of immediately heading to Yongcheng to bring his mother back.

As for whether the affection between mother and son would be the same as before after bringing her back, no one could say for sure.

But at least, Ying Zheng was prepared to fulfill the outward appearance of filial piety. After all, he had only just assumed personal rule and absolutely could not provide a pretext for others to accuse him, which would then benefit others.

The storm at the morning court ended with Ying Zheng taking the initiative to yield and personally going to Yongcheng to bring his mother back.

At the Chancellor's Mansion.

Lü Buwei's mood was somewhat gloomy. He had already heard that Ying Zheng had brought Zhao Ji back to Xianyang. If it were in the past, before Ying Zheng had assumed personal rule, he would sometimes go into the palace to have secret trysts with Zhao Ji.

But ever since Zhao Ji favored Lao Ai and repeatedly opposed him, that bond had gradually been severed.

Ying Zheng bringing Zhao Ji back this time made him both gloomy and angry.

He had never expected Ying Zheng to play his cards so unconventionally, which caused all his subsequent calculations to fall through.

Just at this moment, a low voice rang out, "Chancellor's mood seems to be very bad!"

Hearing this voice, Lü Buwei turned his head abruptly to look at the visitor. The visitor had a tall figure, his entire body hidden within a black robe. The black robe was wide, as if hiding countless secrets within, and he wore a bronze mask on his face, seemingly possessing an indescribable, mysterious power.

"Playing god!"

Lü Buwei scolded the other party without ceremony, not caring even if the other party was the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, Donghuang Taiyi.

When the Yin-Yang School arrived in Qin Guo that day, they had taken the initiative to pledge their allegiance to him. Even though the other party was a famous school among the Hundred Schools of Thought and extremely mysterious, judging from the fact that the Yin-Yang School needed to pledge allegiance to him, the Yin-Yang School, while strong, ultimately had to rely on power.

"Donghuang Taiyi, what business brings you to my place?"

Lü Buwei did not know the real name of the person before him, so he ultimately addressed him by his title within the Yin-Yang School.

Donghuang Taiyi did not care about Lü Buwei's cold attitude and said, "I have learned of your recent encounters, Chancellor. The Qin Wang is unruly and rebellious; you must be having a very big headache."

"Hmph!"

Lü Buwei let out a cold snort and did not respond.

Donghuang Taiyi continued, "Does the Chancellor know that the reason the Qin Wang has changed so much is because of one person?"

"What person?"

"His name—Su Xuan!" ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
