"Didn't Zong Zheng open it to take a look?" Meng Ao stared at the dark box, still testing Ying Qi's limits. "Could it be that for Zong Zheng, this isn't the end of the road yet?"

"As long as I am loyal to the emperor, who can say whether it is the end of the road or something else?" Ying Xi did not deny it and replied.

The two of them knew this very well, and there was no one else around, so although they still couldn't say it directly, their words were becoming clearer and clearer.

Meng Ao did not ask any more questions. Since it had never been opened, he would not get anything out of it by asking again.

As for whether Ying Qi lived or died, or whether he became successful or not, it had nothing to do with Meng Ao.

No matter how loyal Ying Xi was or how capable he was, Ying Zheng would never hand over the military power of the Qin Dynasty to him. This was the tragedy of the royal family.

They have the most prominent background and certain rights, and no one can even reach their level in their lifetime.

However, the heights that others can reach are not within the reach of people in the royal family, such as military power.

Since Ying Xi had no access to military power and could not threaten Meng Ao's position, and Ying Zheng did not express his disgust towards Ying Xi, Meng Ao did not need to suppress this former eldest son of Qin.

"Zongzheng, I will not search for anything else. We already have sufficient evidence that Lü Buwei colluded with the Mohist sect to rebel, so I will not bother you any further. Farewell."

After much thought, Meng Ao finally did not open the box. He just put it away, bowed slightly to Ying Qi, and walked out.

As for the pile of things behind me, soldiers will come to clean them up later.

"Farewell, General." Although it was a farewell, Ying Qi only bowed slightly and was not even willing to take two more steps.

However, this is also a wise move.

There are many examples in history. The royal family members who dared to get close to the bigwigs in the military usually did not end up having a good fate.

In particular, no one would be foolish enough to bump into him under the nose of Ying Zheng, an emperor who was unprecedented and unparalleled.

Now Ying Xi could only pray that the thing in the box was not a piece of silk, a piece of silk covered with words.

If human hearts are unpredictable, then the emperor's mind is even harder to guess.

No one can tell what Ying Zheng is thinking. Although Ying Zheng has no intention of getting rid of Ying Qi now, what if? What if Ying Zheng sees something in the box that says about his deal with Lu Buwei?

At that time, life or death was no longer in Ying Xi's control.

In the final analysis, he just made a stupid mistake. He should have let Meng Ao take it apart here, even if Ying Qi took it apart himself.

The unknown is the scariest thing, especially when your life is in danger, the things in the box are even scarier.

Just leave it to fate. If it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, you can't avoid it.

At this point, even if Ying Xi regretted it, it would be useless. He glanced at the soldiers running back and forth, chuckled, and entered the inner hall.

…

There is no court meeting today.

After all, even an emperor couldn't stand working at five or six o'clock every day.

Ying Zheng threw all the affairs of state to Cai Ze. After all, Han Fei and Li Si were now under Cai Ze's command, so this could be regarded as an examination and training for them.

The most important point is that Ying Zheng’s control over the Qin Dynasty did not rely on these officials, nor on the daily affairs of state, big and small.

After all, Chen Xuan's plug-in is quite useful. If something big really happens in the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng will definitely know it much faster than the court officials below.

Now Ying Zheng also needs to relax. The events of yesterday and the previous few days are still too taxing on his mind. Neither Ying Zheng nor Chen Xuan cares much about the so-called court affairs.

So now Ying Zheng is playing with Cheng Jiao.

After all, they are still brothers. Even though he was raised by Queen Mother Xia, he is still very close to Ying Zheng.

"Cheng Jiao, don't fall."

Ying Zheng looked at Cheng Jiao who was playing beside him, said something helplessly, and then saw Cheng Jiao fall to the ground with a "pop".

"I told you not to run so fast!" Ying Zheng sighed, walked over and picked up Cheng Jiao, "Let me see, where are you hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Cheng Jiao didn't show any signs of falling. He was still looking at Ying Zheng with a smile, his face covered in dust, like a tabby cat.

"If you continue to make such trouble, I will find you a teacher tomorrow." Ying Zheng looked at his younger brother who was already beginning to show his intelligence, but in the end he couldn't say anything harsh.

After all, they are relatives, and Ying Zheng also needs family affection. Especially since Ying Zheng had not experienced the Lu Bu Rebellion, his desire for family affection seemed to be even deeper.

Chen Xuan has been quietly changing history, especially when he forced Ying Zheng to depose Queen Dowager Huayang and Queen Dowager Xia a while ago.

This is already a bit too much pressure. We need to loosen it up a bit, otherwise no one can predict what kind of backlash it will cause.

Besides, Cheng Jiao is just a three-year-old child. Fortunately, he is still in the form of the enlightened beast Luwu, and is even brought to be raised by Ying Zheng.

Even so, it can still grow into the appearance it appeared in history, and there will be no problem in killing it at that time.

We can also take that opportunity to directly shatter all the gentleness in Ying Zheng's heart, so as to avoid following the old path of history.

In Chen Xuan's eyes, the best outcome would be for all the nobles of various countries to die completely.

"No, Cheng Jiao doesn't want a master, Cheng Jiao only wants a brother." I don't know if this kid is smart or naive, but he has completely forgotten what happened to Empress Dowager Xia yesterday.
