Chapter 116: Since when did the Empress become so strong

When they were almost at the study, Ying Ying Ziyu saw Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.

"Greetings to the Ninth Prince!"

"Ninth Brother!"

Zhao Gao and Hu Hai said.

Ying Ying Ziyu nodded without speaking and walked straight into the study.

Hu Hai and Zhao Gao did not say much about this.

Neither of them had any impression of Ying Ying Ziyu, nor did they understand what kind of person he was.

They only knew that Ying Zheng did not value this Ninth Prince, and Ying Ying Ziyu himself spent his days in debauchery.

Such a person posed no threat at all!

Entering the study, Ying Ying Ziyu saw that the other princes had already arrived.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Ying Ying Ziyu bowed with cupped hands.

Ying Zheng nodded in acknowledgment.

After Zhao Gao and Hu Hai entered, everyone was present.

"Presumably you already know why I called you here today; I will only ask one question."

"Which of you is willing to form a marriage alliance with the Great Tang?"

Ying Zheng's tone was very cold.

His eyes flashed with an icy gaze.

It made anyone who saw it feel a chill in their hearts.

Except for Ying Ying Ziyu and Hu Hai, the other princes lowered their heads, not daring to meet Ying Zheng's gaze.

Seeing Ying Ying Ziyu so calm, Ying Zheng was also somewhat puzzled.

He fixed his gaze on Ying Ying Ziyu.

In over ten years, this was the first time Ying Zheng had scrutinized Ying Ying Ziyu so carefully.

This Ninth Prince of the Great Qin!

Ying Ying Ziyu met Ying Zheng's gaze.

He was also scrutinizing Ying Zheng.

This Emperor who had wiped out the six nations and established the Great Qin Dynasty.

His face, cold as frost, bore the traces of time, and his face, like ten-thousand-year-old ice, made people fearful.

Seeing Ying Ying Ziyu and Ying Zheng staring at each other, Hu Hai also curiously scrutinized the two.

However, after looking for only a moment, Hu Hai felt a stinging pain in his eyes and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at them anymore.

Hu Hai was extremely shocked in his heart.

"Ying Ying Ziyu is actually able to stare at His Majesty for so long."

"Why can't I?"

Hu Hai was very unhappy in his heart.

He had always felt that he was the most excellent among Ying Zheng's offspring, and should be so in every aspect.

Yet now he had actually lost to Ying Ying Ziyu.

This inconspicuous guy with no presence at all.

Hu Hai felt very agitated.

"Why are you looking at me? Are you not afraid?"

Ying Zheng asked.

His sharp eyes were still fixed on Ying Ying Ziyu.

His tone was still as cold as ever, as if he were ten-thousand-year-old ice.

The others in the hall subconsciously trembled twice.

"Why is Your Majesty looking at me?"

Ying Ying Ziyu asked in return.

Others might fear Ying Zheng, but Ying Ying Ziyu was not afraid in the slightest.

Seeing Ying Ying Ziyu so bold, not only failing to answer His Majesty's question but asking him back.

The hearts of the other princes tightened.

"If you want to die, don't drag us with you!"

This was the thought in the Fifth Prince's heart.

He feared meeting Ying Zheng the most in his daily life.

Every time he met Ying Zheng, this Fifth Prince would fall ill for several days.

"To actually dare to ask His Majesty back, he truly doesn't know how to die!"

Hu Hai thought to himself.

He had always been very obedient in front of Ying Zheng.

Whatever Ying Zheng asked, he would answer obediently.

He even acted as if he were not afraid of Ying Zheng.

It was precisely because of this that Ying Zheng particularly favored Hu Hai.

Zhao Gao squinted his eyes and looked at Ying Ying Ziyu, unable to understand what was wrong with this Ninth Prince, who usually kept such a low profile that people almost forgot him.

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned by Ying Ying Ziyu's question.

Immediately after, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth lifted slightly.

He had not been this happy for a long time.

Among his own sons, there was actually such an interesting one.

He truly didn't know if it was the ignorance of the fearless, or if he was pretending to be calm.

Regardless of which it was, Ying Zheng was very happy.

Usually, those sons and daughters of his, upon seeing him, let alone asking him questions, were so scared they couldn't even speak clearly.

Because of this, Ying Zheng gradually stopped meeting these children.

Seeing Ying Zheng's smile, Zhao Gao's eyes widened instantly; he thought he had seen wrong.

"His Majesty actually smiled!"

Zhao Gao was extremely shocked.

How many years had it been? He couldn't remember how many years it had been since he last saw His Majesty smile.

Today, because Ying Ying Ziyu asked a question back, he had broken the precedent and smiled.

Zhao Gao frowned slightly.

This was not good news.

He had to think of a way to deal with all the situations that might arise.

Because Hu Hai and the others were lowering their heads, they did not see Ying Zheng's slight smile. ===== CHAPTER 117 =====
