Chapter 78 New Year’s Eve
"Why are you so angry? Han Fei is fine, right? He is mine now. With me here, Li Si can't touch him."
Zhao Yuanxi didn't think the matter was serious.
Li Si was a smart man and he knew how to choose.
Since the Queen Mother Zhao had guessed his plan, he would keep his distance from Han Fei even to get rid of suspicion, unless he could instigate the King of Qin to order Han Fei's death for the second time.
But she has already saved Han Fei. As long as Han Fei does not touch the Qin King's reverse scale, Ying Zheng will not want to kill him.
Zhang Liang sneered, "The dignified Chief Justice of Qin is actually a jealous villain. Does the Queen Mother really trust him to manage Qin's laws?"
"You should speak to the King of Qin about this," Zhao Yuanxi said nonchalantly. "But the villain you're referring to is actually a loyal minister of Qin. He's dedicated his life to the country and achieved this position through his own strength."
"As for this selfish motive, who doesn't have selfish motives?" Zhao Yuanxi chuckled. "You're being sarcastic to me, isn't that also your selfish motive?"
Zhao Yuanxi could understand their fight, but he would not just watch their fight without interfering.
Zhang Liang remained silent, feeling helpless about the Queen Mother Zhao's sharpness. However, he had to be on guard against Li Si. Today, he dared to do something that would harm people's lives for his own selfish desires. There was no guarantee that he would not harm the Qin State for his own selfish desires in the future.
However, what Zhang Liang wanted to see was the demise of the Qin Dynasty.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Zhao Yuanxi looked at him deeply and asked, "What are you thinking?"
"The Queen Mother misunderstood me. I just thought what the Queen Mother said made sense." Zhang Liang looked innocent.
That’s better, Zhao Yuanxi hummed.
Zhao Yuanxi uncovered the cloth on the New Year gift sent by Li Si, and found that in addition to meats such as pork, beef, and mutton, there were also grains and various wine vessels.
The beginning of the year in Qin State was more of a day of sacrifice, offering sacrifices to heaven, gods and ancestors.
Han and Qin had similar New Year customs. Zhang Liang saw these things and suddenly asked, "Is the King of Qin planning to come to Yongcheng for this New Year's sacrifice?"
Zhao Yuanxi paused slightly, it was indeed possible.
Yongcheng was a place specially used by the Qin State for sacrifices, and it was also the burial place of many Qin ancestors. If the King of Qin wanted to hold an annual sacrifice, this was indeed the place most often used.
Thinking that he might meet his adopted son, Zhao Yuanxi suddenly felt a little nervous. If he saw him, how would he greet him? Or should he ask him to write an autograph for him?
When Zhao Yuanxi thought of his current identity, he suddenly felt a headache and embarrassed. Ying Zheng probably wouldn't want to see Queen Mother Zhao now, so there was no hope of getting a personal autograph.
However, if he doesn't want to come to see her, she can go to see him!
She could go to the Qinian Temple secretly, and if she was discovered, she could say that she missed her son.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was feasible. Zhao Yuanxi began to look forward to it. If she could meet the person in person, she could also brag that she had seen Qin Shi Huang!
Zhao Yuanxi laughed foolishly.
When Zhang Liang saw her smiling so happily after hearing that the King of Qin would come to Yongcheng, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
Although the King of Qin had broken off relations with the Queen Mother Zhao, the Queen Mother Zhao was his biological mother after all, and she must still have feelings for him. If the King of Qin died, the Queen Mother Zhao would certainly be sad.
Zhang Liang lowered his eyes, clenched his hands tightly in his long sleeves, and was unaware of his nails digging into his palms.
Zhao Yuanxi was so excited that she couldn't sleep for several days. She kept imagining in her mind what kind of expression she should use to be more natural when she met Qin Shihuang.
These past few days, Zhao Yuanxi seemed to be possessed by a drama queen, and from time to time she acted like the Queen Mother of Qin. Her awkward posture made You think she was sick for a moment.
You was so scared that she almost went to ask the imperial physician.
This abnormal behavior of Zhao Yuanxi also reached the ears of everyone in Canglang Pavilion. They all believed that the Queen Mother was ill because she missed her son, and they couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Zhao Yuanxi.
In the end, even Ying Zheng knew about this matter.
Ying Zheng would never believe that that person would miss him. Even if it was the real Queen Mother Zhao, she would only have resentment towards him. How could a person who had nothing to do with him suddenly have such deep feelings for him?
Ying Zheng felt that she might be planning something.
However, if she really knew that he was the King of Qin, what expression would she show?
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
On the first day of October, before dawn, the King of Qin's guard of honor arrived at the gate of Yongcheng.
The black-armored guards led the way, with black Xuanniao flags stacked up layer upon layer, as if there was no end in sight. The long spears were arranged in formation, shining with cold light, escorting the bronze chariot in the middle into Yongcheng.
The people on both sides of the road all knelt on the ground and worshiped. It was a sea of black. Apart from the sounds of carriages and horses and the marching army, there was no other sound.
Zhao Yuanxi stood on the city wall, overlooking the Qin King's guard of honor. At this moment, she realized the deterrence of the ancient kings.
Above millions of people, the only king.
He will be the number one emperor in the world in the future.
Zhao Yuanxi's heart was beating wildly. Not only was wealth and status fascinating, but power was even more fascinating.
No wonder when Liu Bang saw this scene, he shouted "A real man should be like this". Even she felt moved when she saw this scene!
If the King of Qin was already so powerful, what would the emperor be like?
Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but smack his lips.
The King of Qin's carriage had already passed through the city gate and headed straight for the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests.
Zhao Yuanxi breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to sneak in quietly according to the original plan.
It was not easy for Ying Zheng to come, but she didn't go to take a look, which was a waste of the opportunity. Moreover, she said that she might not be able to improve his favorability.
Ying Zheng's favorability has remained at 1% for a long time.
Zhao Yuanxi felt that if he wanted to gain favor, he had to increase his presence first, make people remember him first, and then talk about the issue of favorability.
A dull drumbeat sounded, and the gate of the Qinian Palace slowly opened. The black-armored guards immediately surrounded the place, and no one could get close.
The carriage stopped at the palace gate.
Zhao Yuanxi arrived at the gate of the Qinian Palace and was lying on the corner of the wall, secretly watching, waiting for the curtain of the carriage to be lifted so that she could see what Ying Zheng looked like.
Wang Ben was the guard of the King of Qin this time. He received news that someone was lying in the corner of the Qinian Palace and spying on the king. He was asked whether he should capture the person.
When Wang Ben heard the black-armored guard say that the person was a woman of considerable age, a familiar figure flashed through his mind, compelling him to go there in person to check out what was going on.
When he got closer, he saw the familiar figure.
"Empress Dowager!" Wang Ben, standing behind Zhao Yuanxi, suddenly spoke.
Zhao Yuanxi was startled and turned around. Seeing that it was Wang Ben, he calmed down again and asked, "Why is General Wang here?"
"This is the question I should ask the Queen Mother. Why is Her Majesty here?"
