This is Zhao Jun’s first New Year here.

She felt it was much more lively than before.

She attended several banquets before the New Year, and on New Year's Day she and Qingliu had a hot pot in the yard.

Afterwards, she specially greeted Ying Zheng and took Qingliu for a walk around Xianyang City.

The city of Xianyang was much more lively than usual during the New Year, and they even had dinner at the Xianyang Cottage.

She truly experienced the Qin New Year, and the feeling was exceptionally wonderful.

In the blink of an eye, more than a week has passed, and it is almost time to resume work.

Zhao Jun had just finished lunch and was taking a rare walk in the yard.

The food has been so good these days that she ate several hotpot meals in a row, which caused blisters in her mouth and a sore throat.

"Sir, Lord Zhao, something bad has happened."

Suddenly, anxious shouts were heard outside the palace, reaching Zhao Jun's ears from a distance.

What's wrong?

The sound became louder and louder, and finally ran into Zhiyang Palace.

Zhao Jun took a quick look and felt that he looked familiar, as if he was the eunuch serving in Ying Zheng's palace.

Is he so anxious because something happened to Ying Zheng?

"What's wrong?" She hurried to the palace gate.

The young eunuch said breathlessly.

"For some reason, the king is so furious and wants to severely punish Prince Fusu!"

"What?"

The King of Zhao frowned. He suddenly wanted to punish Fusu. What happened?

I saw them having a good chat last time, didn’t they?

"Who asked you to come to me?"

Zhao Jun was a little hesitant. After all, this was a matter between them and their father. In what capacity did she have to intervene in this matter?

Originally, Ying Zheng was going to hold a family dinner in the harem today and invited her.

But this was different from the previous banquets for ministers, as those attending were all Ying Zheng’s wives and sons.

She wouldn't join in the fun.

But now…

"This, sir, was sent by our Lord Sun."

The young eunuch paused for two seconds and saw Zhao Jun's hesitation.

"Forget it, I won't go over for now. The king won't punish me too severely no matter what. I'll go and ask what's going on tomorrow."

After hesitating, Zhao Jun said to the eunuch with a little apology.

I need to ask about this, but it may not be appropriate to do so now. I'd better ask later.

"Ah, sir, this..."

The young eunuch was a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do. He actually felt that it might not be of any use if Lord Zhao went there.

I don’t know why the master insisted that he come here secretly, and now he has run into a wall.

Just as the young eunuch was about to leave, another person suddenly came in from the door.

"master."

Sun Cheng came over.

Zhao Jun was originally preparing to go back to the house, but when he saw Sun Cheng coming over, he knew that he was probably going to make a reservation.

"Master Zhao, the king wants you to come over."

Sun Cheng obviously came in a hurry and spoke with a slight breath.

"Okay, let's go now."

Since it was Ying Zheng who called him, it should not be entirely a family matter.

Zhao Jun led his men and hurried to the front hall.

"Eunuch Sun, what on earth happened?"

Zhao Jun kept asking Sun Cheng who was following beside him.

"Alas, my lord, I'm not sure about the details. The banquet started out fine, but I don't know what Madam Chu and Prince Fusu said to provoke the king's wrath."

Sun Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was also frightened by the king.

"Oh yes, the king also dealt with a person brought by Prince Fusu." Sun Cheng added.

one person?

Zhao Jun couldn't figure out the key.

When Zhao Jun arrived, there were still two children kneeling at the door.

"This is?"

She looked at Sun Cheng questioningly.

"The king was furious at the banquet, and it was Prince Gao and Prince Jianglu who came to plead for Fusu."

Sun Cheng answered in a low voice.

Zhao Jun looked at the two children. They were very young, only about ten years old.

But she couldn't care about anything else now, so she decided to go in and see what was going on.

Zhao Jun withdrew his gaze and walked into the door alone.

The hall was eerily quiet.

As soon as the King of Zhao entered, he saw Fusu kneeling beside him, with some cup fragments around him.

She could not see any signs of anger on Ying Zheng's face at this moment, at most he looked a little depressed.

"What on earth is going on here?"

Zhao Jun spoke first. He couldn't just keep silent.

Ying Zheng did not respond to her words, and the hall remained dead silent.

What’s going on? If you have something to say, just tell me. Why are you pretending to be dumb?

Zhao Jun was also a little annoyed by their silence, so he didn't care anymore.

"Fusu, tell me what happened."

She looked at Fusu who had been kneeling beside her.

Fusu looked up and glanced at Ying Zheng carefully.

If his father doesn’t say anything, then he… Fusu wanted to lower his head again.

"Look at what he does. It's okay. Just speak boldly."

The King of Zhao didn't know where he got the courage from, he glanced at Ying Zheng and shouted at Fusu.

Ying Zheng still didn't say anything, just looked at her silently.

Fusu looked at the situation and spoke slowly.

"Today's banquet is attended by relatives. Changping Jun could have come, but he didn't because of something he said earlier. My mother wanted to plead for me but was unsuccessful. Changping Jun told my mother that he had a very good retainer and wanted to bring him to the palace to show my father, but he didn't come today. So Changping Jun recommended this retainer to me, and I brought him into the palace."

Fusu paused for a moment when he said this.

"Then, when Father saw this person..."
