Looking at Ying Zheng’s delighted expression, Xia Wuqie relaxed completely and sat down directly beside Ying Zheng.
"Seeing you so happy."
"I suppose Dong’er has also co to terms, but I’m curious about how you managed to get her to see you without avoiding you." Xia Wuqie said with a smile.
Upon hearing this.
Ying Zheng imdiately laughed: "Father-in-law, initially I was worried she wouldn’t see , as I went secretly under the cover of night. She wasn’t even aware that I discovered her, and after seeing , she had no chance to leave."
Speaking of which.
There was a note of pride in Ying Zheng’s voice.
"Did anyone know you went to Shaqiu?"
Xia Wuqie suddenly thought of sothing, and his expression changed.
"Rest assured, father-in-law."
"I wouldn’t be so careless in my actions."
"When I went, it was under the guise of visiting Yong City to celebrate Empress Dowager Huayang’s birthday, and then I left under the pretense of hunting. No one knew besides the Heibing Platform people."
"The existence of Efang, my relationship with Feng’er and the others, is unknown to others." Ying Zheng imdiately explained.
He naturally understood what Xia Wuqie was worried about deep down.
"That’s good then."
"You’re surely aware of what worries Dong’er."
"Although I only spent a month with Dong’er, I could tell that the incident back then left a shadow over her, and she’s no longer daring to co to Xianyang. It has already beco a psychological burden for her." Xia Wuqie sighed.
A cold look flashed on Ying Zheng’s face: "Father-in-law, rest assured."
"In the future, I will completely rid her of this burden."
"In this Qin, in this world, she alone is my wife, and she alone is worthy of being the Queen of Qin."
Hearing this, Xia Wuqie naturally understood Ying Zheng’s feelings for his daughter, but he thought of today’s court and the clan.
"These years."
"The court and even the clan have been suppressed by the Great King’s strong hand, and many new nobles personally cultivated by the Great King have appeared in the court, yet the influence of those people from back then is still significant."
"If they learn of Dong’er’s existence, if they learn that the Zhao Feng siblings are the Great King’s children, it will surely cause another storm."
"What plans does the Great King have for Feng’er and the others in the future?" Xia Wuqie asked while staring at Ying Zheng.
"Father-in-law."
"You are testing ."
Ying Zheng replied with a smile.
Afterwards.
He said candidly: "Efang is the future Queen of Qin, and Feng’er is my legitimate eldest son, destined to be the future rightful Crown Prince of Qin."
Hearing this.
Xia Wuqie’s heart was moved, with so joy.
Although he was already old and indifferent to such so-called power and influence.
But thinking of his grandchildren, Xia Wuqie naturally wanted to inquire.
After all.
This position is indeed the throne.
If possible, how could Xia Wuqie not want his grandson to ascend it?
"Great King."
"We still cannot bring Dong’er back now, nor can we reveal Feng’er’s identity."
"Once it leaks, the court will certainly be unstable." Xia Wuqie said solemnly.
Currently.
Even though there are disputes in the court, there is a common sentint to contribute to Qin and wipe out the various countries, aiming to unify the world.
So seek to establish lasting achievents and earn a place in history, while most are driven by the pursuit of greater benefits and power.
It is this shared goal that unites the court officials together.
Within the court.
There are many who support Fusu, and they are mainly old nobility and the clan, and their power cannot be underestimated.
One can say that Fusu’s rise represents their interests, and if Zhao Feng were to be introduced prematurely, whether for Zhao Feng himself, for his daughter, or even for the entire Qin, it would definitely cause turmoil.
The various countries still exist and the world remains divided.
Therefore, the power of the old nobility must still be utilized.
If Xia Dong’er returned.
If the identity of the Zhao Feng siblings was exposed.
It would definitely be a bad thing.
Wang Wan, Huai Zhuang, and others experienced that past event, and they clearly know how important Xia Dong’er is in Ying Zheng’s heart. Their offspring status needs no further explanation; it is absolutely solid.
Once Zhao Feng’s identity is out in the open, they will definitely not comply, and it will undoubtedly trigger internal strife within Qin.
This would greatly affect the unification of the world by Qin.
Historically.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng unified the world by gathering the power of the entire nation, utilizing a million sharp warriors fully.
Civil officials managed governance, logistics were mobilized, and payouts were distributed.
Military commanders led the army to campaigns.
None of these steps could be neglected.
"How can I not understand these matters."
"Father-in-law, rest assured."
"Until the world is completely unified, I will not let Efang and Feng’er be exposed to danger again."
"I will use the campaign to exterminate the various countries to let Feng’er take command of the entire army, ensuring no one can harm them."
"After the world is unified and there is no longer a need for the old nobility’s power, I will naturally not fear them anymore." Ying Zheng replied with a smile. Although his tone was gentle, the determination and authority in his words were unmistakable.
"That’s good." Xia Wuqie nodded imdiately.
"Then this ti, father-in-law, are you not leaving?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
"Not leaving, not leaving."
"I will stay in Xianyang waiting for Dong’er to co ho."
"Moreover, you owe Dong’er a wedding banquet."
"I have yet to participate." Xia Wuqie replied with a chuckle.
Ying Zheng imdiately promised: "Father-in-law, rest assured, I will definitely give Dong’er the grandest wedding banquet, witnessed and known by all."
"Speaking of which."
