Leng Yu felt his whole body relaxed, and he immediately flew towards the sky. Then he quickly changed his appearance and became an ordinary monk with an unremarkable appearance. This time his target was the Guangming Hall of the Imperial Palace!
Long Junhai also transformed into an ordinary-looking young man. He sent a voice message to Leng Yu, "How do we get into the palace now? If we don't have enough time, Lü Buwei will probably find the Palace of Brightness by following the clues!"
"It shouldn't happen. Guangming Hall is located in the center of the imperial palace. In addition to the emperor's control, Lao Ai also has some power. Lu Buwei is not strong in the palace and is easily suppressed, so it is impossible for him to directly block Guangming Hall. Now should be a good time for us to escape." Leng Yu analyzed calmly.
Long Junhai nodded when he heard this, and he felt a little relieved.
When they were closer to the palace, Long Junhai asked Leng Yu to hide in his space ring, and then he turned into a grain of dust and fell down, waiting for someone to enter the palace at any time, so that he could take the opportunity to sneak in.
At this moment, the Prime Minister's Mansion was in an uproar. Lü Buwei looked at the empty courtyard angrily and asked his men, "When did you find out that the person was missing?"
"We discovered it just when you left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then we immediately sent someone to notify you to come back!" The Prime Minister's Mansion's housekeeper said fearfully.
"Huh? What happened? When did I leave? I have been busy with my own things outside the city these days?" Lu Buwei asked with a frown.
"What! Have you really been outside the city all the time?" the butler asked curiously.
"Yes, I rushed back after receiving your message. Did you see me at the Prime Minister's Mansion just now? Oh no! Leng Yu must have impersonated me! Damn it! I raised her from childhood, and she betrayed me in just a few days! If I had known, I should have killed Long Junhai last month!" Lu Buwei was furious, but it was too late to say anything now! So he could only try his best to make amends.
"Prime Minister, what should we do now?" asked the housekeeper worriedly.
"What can we do? We must intercept them as soon as possible! These two guys must have gone to the palace. Their goal is to take the teleportation array of the Hall of Light to enter the Central Plains! I can't waste time here!" After Lu Buwei finished speaking, he immediately turned into a white light and flew towards the palace. He estimated that it might be too late now!
But just when Lu Buwei was anxiously flying towards the palace, the butler quietly released a message to a communication board, and soon the emperor in the palace received a secret report that Lu Buwei was about to enter the palace!
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Li Si asked curiously.
The emperor looked at Li Si and said, "Your teacher is coming to the palace. Aren't you going to greet him?"
"Is the Prime Minister coming? This... is indeed an opportunity. The situation is becoming more and more tense. I'm afraid there will be few opportunities for the Prime Minister to enter the palace alone in the future!" Li Si pondered for a moment and then said.
"Do you mean to take direct action? If so, I'm afraid the entire Qin Empire will be in turmoil!" The emperor sighed.
"Your Majesty is merciful, but matters of family, country and the world have always been like this, so when necessary, you have to be cruel. You can't have your cake and eat it too!" Li Si advised.
"Ah, it seems this is the only way. Meng Yi, you lead the men to prepare. Zhao Gao, immediately notify Bai Qi to launch a general attack on the six kingdoms and destroy Zhao first!"
The emperor had many concerns. He knew that Lü Buwei had a deep-rooted empire and that a single move would affect the entire system, so he had to eliminate the root of the problem. In addition, if he went to war with Lü Buwei, Lao Ai would surely stir up trouble! Therefore, someone had to keep a close eye on Lao Ai, and this matter could only be left to Zhao Gao.
"Zhao Gao, after Bai Qi launches the attack, Lu Buwei's three thousand retainers will be tied down, and Lao Ai is a big cancer, so I can't just ignore it. But I can't spare any manpower at the moment. This matter can only be handed over to you alone. If you do it well, you will be the only steward in the palace in the future. If you don't do it well, you will die! Even I may disappear from the world!" The emperor said cautiously.
"I understand! Your Majesty can rest assured! Although Lao Ai is powerful, I will protect the peace of the harem at the risk of my life! I will never let Your Majesty fall into danger!" Zhao Gao immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
The war was about to break out. At this time, Lao Ai also received the news. He was lying on the bed alone with a frown on his face. The outbreak of this incident was a great opportunity for him. He could take advantage of the situation to destroy Lu Buwei and the emperor, and then he would be the master of Qin!
But he always felt that there was something else going on. After all, as the Prime Minister, it was impossible for Lü Buwei to be so bold as to break into the palace alone. Wasn't this just a deliberate act of seeking death?
Therefore, Lao Ai did not dare to act rashly. He could only wait and see. Before the war broke out completely, he must remain neutral!
At this time, Long Junhai had already taken the opportunity to enter the palace, but he had not yet reached the Hall of Brightness.
Lu Buwei quickly arrived at the palace gate. He had some doubts before entering the palace, but he finally walked in. He had to capture Long Junhai. If he couldn't catch him, he would have to kill him. He absolutely couldn't let the emperor get away with it! Otherwise, he would have no chance of winning!
Lü Buwei had basically mastered the method of absorbing the divine essence, but he hadn't done enough to eliminate the dead energy. He didn't want to rely on the mysterious liquid essence of dead energy given to him by Long Junhai forever. He had to find the answer once and for all! Otherwise, he would never give up!
At this time, the imperial palace was fully prepared, and everything was on high alert. Lü Buwei had already made all the preparations before entering the gate. He wanted to give himself a chance. As long as he won, then from now on, not to mention the entire Qin Empire, even the entire world would be nothing but his playthings!
"Your Majesty, Lu Buwei has entered the palace, and his target seems to be Guangming Hall!" Zhao Gao reported immediately.
"Huh? Why did he go to the Hall of Light? Is he going to escape to the Central Plains? There is absolutely no need for him to do that. The teleportation array in his home can easily lead to the Endless Sea, right?" the emperor asked in confusion.
"I am not very clear about this either, but according to the report from my subordinates, Lu Buwei left in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to do!" Zhao Gao said again.
"Hmm? Did something big happen in the Prime Minister's Mansion before? Send someone to investigate immediately!" the emperor said immediately.
"Yes! I will do it immediately!" Zhao Gao quickly sent a message to the spies below, asking them to immediately investigate the latest major news in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Your Majesty! We've found out! The matter is related to Long Junhai! It is said that Long Junhai has escaped from the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Zhao Gao said immediately.
