Cheng Xiaoxiao stood up, clasped her hands together, and said to the First Emperor, "Ancestor, this man is the greatest traitor of the Qin Dynasty. He must not be reused."
Her words frightened the First Emperor, and Ying Zheng quickly asked, "Why?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at Fusu before continuing, "According to historical records, after your passing, this man colluded with Li Si to tamper with your will, causing Prince Fusu, who was supposed to succeed you, to be banished from Xianyang and ultimately forced to commit suicide."
The First Emperor suddenly looked at Fusu. There were too many emotions hidden in his eyes, and his face was terribly gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "Good Zhao Gao, very good!"
Ying Zheng: How dare you treat my son like this? I will tear you into pieces.
Fusu also clenched his fists. He never expected that his ending would be like this.
Cheng Xiaoxiao's voice was filled with regret. "Later, the two of them supported Hu Hai to succeed to the throne. The Qin Dynasty didn't even last three years under his rule before it perished."
"Bang!"
The First Emperor's angry fist finally slammed down on the table, "Rebellious son! This rebellious son!!!"
"Think of my ancestors, who toiled tirelessly for six generations, and finally managed to transform the Qin Dynasty from a mere "steamed bun" that the six kingdoms could only chew on, into a nation where the six kingdoms bowed down to the Qin Dynasty."
The First Emperor's face showed nostalgia. "My great-grandfather once said, 'I don't want you to be my vassals. I want to unify the six kingdoms and bring the whole world under Qin.'"
"I have completed the unfinished cause of my great grandfather, but..."
Ying Zheng was in low spirits, his eyes red. "The Qin Dynasty perished after only two generations. How can I face my ancestors?"
"That rebellious son, I will send him to see the former kings immediately, to prevent our Great Qin from being destroyed in his hands again."
"And Zhao Gao and Li Si, I won't let any of them go."
"Fusu," the First Emperor ordered, "I command you to bring that rebellious son to me now. I want to see if his brain is completely filled with mud."
Fusu stood up with a sullen face and bowed to the First Emperor. "Yes, Father, I will go right away."
After saying this, he turned around and quickly walked out of the Xianyang Palace.
Just then.
Zhao Gao led several groups of palace maids over, each of them carrying delicious dishes fresh from the pot...
The moment he saw Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng suddenly felt murderous.
but……
The next moment, Cheng Xiaoxiao saw that the First Emperor had restrained all the emotions on his face.
A smile appeared on his face and he returned to his previous state as if nothing had happened.
The palace maids put down the dishes, and Zhao Gao came to report to the First Emperor that all the dishes prepared by the imperial kitchen had been served. Ying Zheng did not show any abnormality, and greeted a few people as usual to start eating.
At this time, Zhao Gao was helping the First Emperor to serve the dishes while secretly sizing up Cheng Xiaoxiao and the others.
"Where is the Black Ice Platform?" the First Emperor suddenly shouted.
"The subordinates are here!" Two voices came from the darkness.
Before she finished speaking, Cheng Xiaoxiao saw two men in black kneeling in the center of the hall.
The two men said in unison, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Ying Zheng sneered, "Capture Zhao Gao for me!"
Zhao Gao: “???”
He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I don't know what crime I have committed. Please tell me clearly!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The First Emperor kicked Zhao Gao with such force that he rolled down the stairs.
After Zhao Gao stopped, he crawled to the front of Ying Zheng using his hands and feet like a stray dog.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Please spare me considering that I have made no contributions but have worked hard over the years!" Zhao Gao shed tears and kowtowed continuously.
Spare you? Spare you so that I can destroy my Great Qin Empire?
The First Emperor didn't even spare Zhao Gao a glance. He looked at the two men on the Black Ice Platform and said directly, "Drag him away, chop him into pieces, and then throw his body to the dogs."
"promise."
Two people on the Black Ice Platform, one of them held up one of Zhao Gao's arms and dragged him out like a dead dog.
"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me..."
Zhao Gao, who was being dragged out, shouted and kicked wildly.
Seeing that he was doomed, he simply began to curse, "Ying Zheng, you are a tyrant, you are immoral and cruel, you deserve to be pointed at by thousands of people and cursed by tens of thousands of people."
"Hahahahahaha… No one will love you, they are all afraid of you. I'm waiting for that day, I'm waiting." Zhao Gao's voice gradually faded away...
Ying Zheng stood where he was and slowly clenched his fists.
"Ancestor." Cheng Xiaoxiao called the First Emperor softly, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I like you very much."
Wang Long echoed, "That's right, Ancestor. I admire you the most, too. He's talking nonsense."
Everyone: "Ancestor, we love you, we are not afraid of you!"
Upon hearing this, the First Emperor's clenched fists gradually loosened.
"Younger generations," the First Emperor said with a smile, "eat quickly and eat as much as you can, or the food will get cold."
"Coming to our ancestors' place is like returning to your own home. You don't have to stick to those rules. Do you understand?"
He used the most normal tone to express his true thoughts.
Little do we know that sometimes the most ordinary words are also the most heart-wrenching.
When Cheng Xiaoxiao and the others heard this, they were immediately moved.
Countless pink bubbles appeared in the eyes of the female disciples of Xiaoyao Sect.
This ancestor is so cool, handsome, considerate and speaks nicely. Who wouldn’t be confused?
"Thank you, ancestors!" They all bowed to the First Emperor to express their gratitude.
The First Emperor looked stern and waved his hand, "I told you not to be so formal."
Cheng Xiaoxiao responded with a smile, "I understand, ancestor."
She sat down and waited for Ying Zheng to start eating before she began to pick up the food.
As they ate, the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect began to exchange glances with each other.
Xiao Shan whispered to Ji Xiu, "Xiu'er, why don't you go and toast to our ancestors?"
