Chapter 569

There were always some untimely tragedies happening at this time.

Lord Changping had died of illness!

Lord Changping, Xiong Qi, as a relative of the State of Chu, was the grandson of King Zhaowang of Qin, and his younger sister was Seeing Ying Zheng's favorite concubine, and he was the uncle of the eldest young master. Because of his status, his relationship with Seeing Ying Zheng was extremely close, and he was trusted and reused by Seeing Ying Zheng.

At the beginning, Seeing Ying Zheng had appointed him as the Left Chancellor.

He was extremely capable, and when he served as chancellor, he accomplished many things for the Qin Guo.

But no one expected that one day, Seeing Ying Zheng would dismiss him from his position as chancellor.

Afterward, Lord Changping had been recuperating in his mansion due to a serious illness. No one knew how his condition was, because Seeing Ying Zheng forbade anyone from visiting him, until today, when the news of his death from illness spread... many ministers finally remembered this person, Lord Changping.

Earlier, when Seeing Ying Zheng dismissed Lord Changping from his position as chancellor and placed him under house arrest in his mansion, some people guessed what Lord Changping had done, but Seeing Ying Zheng did not say, and they did not know.

They could only be sure of one thing, and that was that Lord Changping had lost the imperial favor.

But after Lord Changping died, they found they were wrong again.

Seeing Ying Zheng seemed to value Lord Changping very much; for Lord Changping's funeral, he adopted an extremely high standard and even presided over his funeral in person.

At the funeral, the eldest young master Fu Su, Lord Changping's daughter Mi Lian, and Seeing Ying Zheng's favorite concubine, Lord Changping's younger sister Mi Ji, all came to attend.

Because Seeing Ying Zheng had two completely different attitudes toward Lord Changping before and after his death, this could not help but confuse many people.

So... what exactly did Lord Changping do?

Han Fei also attended Lord Changping's funeral.

After returning to his mansion, he guessed secretly.

Seeing Ying Zheng did not tell him what Lord Changping had done, but he was very smart, and from Seeing Ying Zheng's various actions earlier, he could judge some clues.

"The matter Lord Changping committed was absolutely not small; otherwise, the King of Qin could not have treated him like that and even forbade the eldest young master Fu Su from visiting him. The reason for forbidding the eldest young master Fu Su from visiting him was because he was afraid that Lord Changping's affairs would implicate Fu Su?"

"Not long after the Qin Guo destroyed the State of Chu, Lord Changping died. Whether his death was normal or not, it shows that his death is very likely related to the State of Chu!"

"That's right, Lord Changping was a person from the State of Chu!"

"Then, why did the King of Qin have two completely different attitudes toward Lord Changping before and after his death?"

Han Fei continued to think.

Soon, he had the answer.

It was still the previous guess: Seeing Ying Zheng did not want Lord Changping's affairs to implicate Fu Su.

It was precisely because the matter Lord Changping committed was very big.

Therefore, while he was alive, he did not want Fu Su and Lord Changping to have too much involvement.

After he died, he even spared no effort to temporarily abandon his hatred for Lord Changping and had to disguise it so that the matter Lord Changping committed would not be exposed.

If the matter he committed was exposed.

Even if Fu Su and Lord Changping did not have much involvement, just by the identity of Lord Changping being his uncle, Fu Su would inevitably be implicated by those with ulterior motives.

"Interesting!"

After figuring out the reason, Han Fei sighed like this.

Of course, the reason why Seeing Ying Zheng would temporarily put down his hatred for Lord Changping and choose to hide the crimes Lord Changping had committed.

According to his guess, there was another most important reason, and that was... the State of Chu had been destroyed!

The storm caused by Lord Changping's death was not big, but it was not small either. 0

But because of the change in Seeing Ying Zheng's attitude toward Lord Changping before and after, it ultimately attracted the attention of many people.

The master of the Luo Wang, Zhao Gao, was one of them.

"You really value the eldest young master Fu Su!"

In the dark room, the light was dim, and Zhao Gao was hidden in the darkness, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

After being slapped by Su Xuan that day and going to Seeing Ying Zheng to complain, only to be reprimanded by Seeing Ying Zheng, he understood a truth.

No matter how hard he tried and how much he did, he would ultimately be unable to be completely trusted by Seeing Ying Zheng.

The person Seeing Ying Zheng trusted most was always Su Xuan.

In the final analysis, it was because Su Xuan appeared by Seeing Ying Zheng's side earliest and helped Seeing Ying Zheng overcome several disasters, while he, although he decisively sold out Lao Ai after discovering Lao Ai's rebellion, to Seeing Ying Zheng, his actions could only be considered icing on the cake, not help in a time of need.

Although Seeing Ying Zheng handed over the Luo Wang to him to manage.

But if he and Su Xuan appeared at the same time, Seeing Ying Zheng would still only believe what Su Xuan said.

After that incident, Zhao Gao seemed to have grown up.

Since Seeing Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, could not trust him 100%, then he did not mind cultivating a... King who trusted him 100%!

First, he ruled out the eldest young master Fu Su.

The eldest young master 44 Fu Su was the son Seeing Ying Zheng valued most, so it was impossible for him to have a chance to influence the eldest young master. Since the eldest young master would not work, then he would change to another candidate.

For example, the youngest young master—Hu Hai!

Zhao Gao developed ambition and even selected a target.

Yin-Yang School.

Su Xuan's seclusion this time was not long, but it was not short either.

When he came out of seclusion, he also knew about Lord Changping's affairs.

Su Xuan was not surprised by Lord Changping's death.

The reason Seeing Ying Zheng kept him was just to let him witness the destruction of the State of Chu. When the State of Chu was destroyed, it was also the time for his death.

It was Seeing Ying Zheng's actions after Lord Changping's death that exceeded his expectations.

He actually chose to help Lord Changping hide his crimes.

Su Xuan thought slightly and understood the painstaking effort within.
