Lu Li knew his chance had come!
Lao Ai's actions this time were utterly heinous, but they also indirectly helped Ying Zheng!
Because he forced the Ying clan to completely side with Ying Zheng, everything he had done was now in vain.
Ying Xi nodded and went with Lu Li to Xianyang Palace to meet Ying Zheng.
When Lu Li took out the token given to him by Ying Zheng, Ying Xi was shocked. This was the Qin King's token!
Seeing this token is like seeing the King of Qin; with this token, one can freely enter and leave the Xianyang Palace.
Even he had never received such an honor, which shows that the king has absolute trust in Lu Li!
At this moment, Ying Xi also regained his senses.
"I never expected that you would have the Qin King's Decree."
Lu Li smiled and said, "I live in Yunmeng Mountain and rarely come to Qin. Qin law is strict, and His Majesty was afraid that I would cause unnecessary trouble, so he gave me the Qin King's Decree."
Lu Li spoke modestly, but Ying Xi didn't see it that way.
"Sigh, Ying Xi was foolish, last time..."
Lu Li understood Ying Xi's concerns. The last time he met Ying Zheng, he pretended to be stupid in order to gain the initiative.
This would make Ying Zheng need the help of his relatives, giving them hope of rising again.
"Clan Chief Ying, rest assured, the King's surname is Ying!"
Although Lu Li didn't explain it clearly, he immediately realized who Ying Xi was.
Yes, although Ying Zheng was the king of Qin, he was still surnamed Ying and was a descendant of the Ying clan!
"Thank you for your guidance, sir. I understand now!"
The two rushed to Xianyang Palace, and Ying Zheng had already received the news.
After all, this matter had caused a great uproar, and the Black Ice Platform immediately informed Ying Zheng of it.
He was originally planning to go find Ying Xi, but unexpectedly Ying Xi came by himself.
But to Ying Zheng's surprise, Lu Li also came along.
Lu Li came to Xianyang without informing Ying Zheng, so Ying Zheng was unaware of it.
"Your subject Ying Xi greets Your Majesty!"
"Your subject Lu Li greets Your Majesty!"
One was the patriarch of the Ying clan, and the other was the person he trusted most. Ying Zheng quickly stood up.
"Uncle Wang, sir, why are you two here together?"
Ying Xi felt somewhat embarrassed when Ying Zheng asked him that question.
His affair has become such a big deal that the whole of Xianyang knows about it. How could Ying Zheng not know?
"Your Majesty! Please, Your Majesty, grant me justice!"
Having said that, Ying Xi, disregarding his pride, knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Ying Zheng was taken aback at first, then quickly stepped forward to help Ying Xi up.
"Uncle Wang, what's wrong? Get up and speak quickly!"
To everyone's surprise, Ying Xi remained kneeling on the ground, refusing to get up.
"Your Majesty! Lao Ai publicly insulted my wife in the street. Unable to bear the humiliation, my wife committed suicide by hanging herself!"
"Your Majesty, please grant me justice!"
A grown man of seven feet tall, Ying Xi cried and begged Ying Zheng for help.
Ying Zheng glanced at Lu Li, who nodded. Ying Zheng immediately understood!
It seems that Lu Li has already reached an agreement with Ying Xi. They are both smart people and just understand each other without saying a word.
"Uncle, please get up! I will definitely stand up for you!"
Ying Zheng was naturally aware of this matter, and he never expected that Lao Ai would be so audacious!
But now that he has fled back to Yongcheng, there is nothing even he can do.
After all, the government was now in the hands of Lü Buwei and the Empress Dowager. Lao Ai, relying on the Empress Dowager's power, was arrogant and domineering, and didn't even respect Lü Buwei.
Although Ying Zheng was king, he had no military power and could do nothing against Lao Ai.
At this moment, Lu Li stepped forward and said, "Clan Chief Ying, the King's identity is now in doubt, so it will be difficult for him to uphold justice for you."
It would be most appropriate for Lu Li to have said that.
As the king, Ying Zheng absolutely could not mention such matters.
"Sir, I have never paid any attention to such rumors, and Uncle Wang would not believe them either."
The emperor and his minister worked in unison, completely blocking all of Ying Xi's paths.
Ying Xi pondered for a moment, then said with a firm look in his eyes, "What Your Majesty says is very true. How can such rumors be taken seriously?"
"But as the saying goes, 'three men can make a tiger,' and I, representing the Ying clan, am determined to uphold the legitimacy of Your Majesty's bloodline!"
Ying Xi's words were undoubtedly a tacit acceptance of Ying Zheng's side.
At this time, the Ying clan can only rely on Ying Zheng to avenge their hatred!
Moreover, Ying Zheng is now twenty-two years old, and his imperial aura is becoming increasingly strong.
Sometimes Ying Xi had the illusion that seeing Ying Zheng was like seeing his grandfather Ying Ji, or even more so.
He actually got nervous when facing Ying Zheng.
"Chief Ying, nowadays, within the Qin Dynasty, Lü Buwei controls the government, and Lao Ai runs rampant, while outside, the six states are eyeing us covetously!"
"Your Majesty, every step you take is extremely difficult. Please be patient for now. The day Your Majesty assumes full power will be the day Lao Ai dies!"
Taking power is easier said than done.
When Ying Ji assumed power, he personally executed his uncle Wei Ran.
If Ying Zheng wanted to rule personally, a bloody storm was inevitable, and he would have to face his father, the prime minister, and his mother.
Ying Xi didn't think Ying Zheng would have such ambition, after all, he was only twenty-two years old.
"Your Majesty, what do you wish to do?"
Ying Zheng took a deep breath. At this moment, Ying Xi was completely on his side, after all, he was a member of the Ying clan and his uncle.
"Uncle Wang, please apologize to Lao Ai!"
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, Ying Xi suddenly stood up from the ground, his body trembling slightly, and looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.
"Your Majesty? Did I hear that right? You're letting me apologize to Lao Ai?"
