Xianyang was once again covered in white snow. The entire city had just been covered in white, but because of the death of King Xiaowen of Qin, it was once again filled with sadness.

The palace has been closed since morning and there has been no news since the court officials left yesterday.

Most of the noble residences in Xianyang City followed the example of the royal palace and kept their doors tightly closed. Although there was no interaction on the surface, there was a lot of turmoil in secret.

Meng Ao has been in charge of the Xianyang Palace since yesterday. Wang He personally led the guards patrolling Xianyang and guarded everything in the Xianyang Palace.

Cai Ze has been handling state affairs in the court. Although he is Ying Zheng's agent, he is just a child after all and cannot stay mentally.

Of course, Cai Ze did not overstep his bounds. He would consult with the palace before giving orders for any matters, big or small.

It can be said that even though there are countless selfish thoughts and distracting ideas in Xianyang City, they will not cause any trouble in the end.

Cai Ze hadn't slept a wink all day. If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing for him to worry about regarding the palace's defense, he would have probably gone down with the late king.

"boom--"

There was a loud roar, followed by a shaking. Some debris fell into the hall and landed on Cai Ze, awakening his confused mind.

"What?! What?! Someone, come quickly!"

Cai Ze's ears buzzed as if he was deaf. He could only stand up tremblingly and shout outside.

Heaven does not bless our Great Qin! Heaven does not bless our Great Qin!

Cai Ze thought to himself, staring blankly at a group of guards running in, and Meng Ao ran in with them.

"Prime Minister Cai, are you injured?" Meng Ao asked hurriedly, looking at the stunned Cai Ze in front of him. He had just said something to Meng Wu outside when he saw a red light descend from the sky, followed by a roar.

"Go quickly, go and see if the king is okay?!" Cai Ze looked at Meng Ao. His ears were still ringing and he didn't hear anything. He just pointed behind him and asked Meng Ao to go and check quickly.

Meng Ao didn't care about Cai Ze and hurriedly led the guards into the palace. As for any taboos, he didn't care about them now.

Ying Zheng was staring at the meteorite as it fell. He was reading inside when he felt a flash of red light outside. Then Chen Xuan patted him on the head and said, "Zheng boy, here you come!"

Then Ying Zheng saw a meteorite falling, and he even saw the words engraved on the meteorite.

"After six generations of Qin, if Prince Zheng were to reign, the world would be united."

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Xuan in shock and was speechless for a long time.

"Zheng boy, do you understand what I meant yesterday?" Chen Xuan lay comfortably on Ying Zheng's head. "I am a divine beast, and you are the one I have my eyes on. Why doesn't the world give us a little face?"

"Why can I see the words engraved on that stone?" Ying Zheng relaxed. "Chen Xuan, isn't this a bit too much? What if it scares Father and Grandmother?"

Chen Xuan flew down, looked Ying Zheng in the eye, and said, "If you can successfully succeed to the throne, then I will be surprised. Zheng boy, you must remember that for you who are destined to be alone, family affection is the most worthless thing. You can't have it, and you won't have it."

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Xuan and suddenly felt that Chen Xuan seemed to have grown up a little. The dragon head had become more ferocious and less majestic.

Wang He arrived as soon as the meteorite fell. This place is only five miles away from Xianyang. Fortunately, it is in the west, so there are not many farmlands and therefore not many people.

"What's going on? Are there any casualties?!" Wang He stared at the guards and shouted.

"In reply to the general, only two common people lost their lives, and the rest of the farmland was damaged. But..." The guard also shouted in reply, but hesitated at the end.

"What's the matter?! Hurry up and tell me!" Wang He was so anxious that he almost wanted to tear the guard apart.

King Xiaowen of Qin had already passed away, leaving them without two kings in the space of two years. Now, a meteorite had fallen, and with the Crown Prince's decision to become regent yesterday, those in the city were already dissatisfied. If this situation wasn't handled properly, another bloody storm was inevitable in Xianyang.

"There is a line of words engraved on the meteorite, which reads 'After six generations of Qin, if Prince Zheng is the king, the world will be united'!" The guard did not dare to delay and replied quickly.

Wang He immediately pushed aside the guards and walked quickly to the meteorite. There were indeed words on it, which were what the guards had just said: "After six generations of Qin, if Prince Zheng is the king, the world will be united."

"Pass the military order. No matter who comes here, if it is ordered by this general or the king, they will be killed without mercy." Wang He suppressed his excitement and ordered, "Wang Jian, follow me into the palace!"

As Meng Ao rushed into the palace, he saw Ying Zheng standing outside the door and hurriedly saluted: "I am sorry for being late in seeing the fight. I hope you will not blame me, young master."

"The old general came into the palace to rescue me without asking about his own safety. I am so grateful to him that how can I blame him?" Ying Zheng helped Meng Ao up. Chen Xuan floated in the air and stared at Meng Ao, fearing that he would get upset and be killed by Ying Zheng.

Meng Ao felt that the Crown Prince's power had grown stronger and stronger since the death of King Xiaowen of Qin. Even though he was only eight or nine years old, he actually made him feel like he was facing King Zhaoxiang of Qin. This feeling made him unconsciously submit.

"Seeing that the young master is fine, I feel a little relieved. But I would like to ask a question: Is there anything wrong with the king and the queen mother?" Meng Ao bowed his head and saluted, making all the necessary gestures.

Chen Xuan saw the tiger on Meng Ao's head slightly lying down, and he knew that this man had surrendered and would not be disrespectful to Ying Zheng, so he lay back on Ying Zheng's head.

Ying Zheng glanced at Meng Ao and said, "Of course, there's nothing wrong. They're just a little tired, so I'll let them get some sleep. I'm the only one who can handle external affairs."

Meng Ao did not ask any further questions, but simply said, "This old minister suspects that there must be some dishonest individuals in Xianyang who want to cause trouble. Please, my lord, please ascend the throne and take charge of the palace. I, this old minister, and Prime Minister Cai will handle the rest together."
