Within Zhan Tai Palace!
"Great King, I have a report."
"Lord Wu’an’s mother awaits outside the hall."
Ren Xiao’s voice was transmitted inside.
"Quickly announce her."
Ying Zheng was exceedingly excited.
After all this ti, husband and wife could finally reunite.
They responded.
The doors of the hall opened.
Ying Zheng’s gaze sharpened.
In his sight.
The figure he’d dread about erged before him.
But then he saw the Imperial Guard Army outside the hall.
Ying Zheng imdiately commanded: "Ren Xiao, take everyone and move five zhang away from Zhangtai Palace; without my orders, no one may approach."
"Understood."
Ren Xiao responded without any hesitation.
Afterwards, he closed the hall doors and withdrew.
Although curious why Ying Zheng valued this so highly, he dared not speak more.
"Efang."
Seeing his dreamlike wife from the past, Ying Zheng could no longer resist the longing and rushed over, holding her tightly.
"Brother Zheng."
Xia Dong’er called softly, her voice carrying a sob.
Years of grievances could no longer be held back at this mont.
Tears flowed like a stream from Xia Dong’er’s eyes.
Ying Zheng’s eyes also bore tear marks.
The two embraced tightly.
Silent and speechless.
After a long while.
Ying Zheng gently said: "Efang, rest assured."
"The state of Qi will soon be gone."
"The entire realm will be in my hands."
"At that ti, I want the hundred officials and the people of the realm to witness."
"You, Xia Dong’er, are my wife, my only wife."
"I want the world to know that Feng’er and Ying’er are my children."
"Everything you three lost before, I will restore it." Ying Zheng spoke with a resolute expression.
"Brother Zheng."
"As long as our family can be together, I don’t yearn for these things." Xia Dong’er softly replied.
"You may not yearn, but I must give you this."
"Moreover, Efang."
Ying Zheng gazed tenderly at Xia Dong’er: "Our son is outstanding, truly outstanding."
"This Qin will be his one day."
"When I first t Feng’er, I wondered, if such a young talent could be my son, and heaven indeed opened its eyes, for he truly is my son, and it has returned you to my side."
Saying this.
The smile on Ying Zheng’s face was even harder to conceal.
To him.
Being able to regain Efang, and also with two exceptional children given, how could he be dissatisfied?
"Perhaps Feng’er looks down on it."
Xia Yufang slowly spoke.
"Looks down on Qin?"
Ying Zheng’s expression slightly changed, surprised.
"Over these years, Feng’er has been plotting the End of Qin." Xia Yufang said helplessly.
"End of Qin?"
Ying Zheng was even more amazed: "Plotting the downfall of Qin?"
"With here, how could Qin fall?"
Xia Yufang shook her head and continued: "What Feng’er plots isn’t during your lifeti, but after your hundred years."
"He said...said Brother Zheng’s sons wouldn’t be able to hold onto Qin, and if Brother Zheng were really gone after a hundred years, Qin would surely fall into chaos."
Upon hearing this.
Ying Zheng displayed a bitter smile: "This brat really thinks far ahead, but he’s right; besides Feng’er, none of my sons are accomplished. If Qin truly were left to them, it might indeed fall into disorder."
"Qin, with its powerful military, swept across the realm; it seems under control, but those remnants destroyed by Qin are still hiding in the shadows. If Qin has any signs of turmoil, they will undoubtedly erge to defy Qin."
"The second king of Qin must be a ruler with an iron fist to keep order."
"However."
"This brat is plotting the End of Qin; what else is he planning?"
"You tell ; I want to see what he’s up to behind the scenes."
Yet.
At this mont, Ying Zheng was increasingly curious.
Regarding this son of his, Ying Zheng was filled with intrigue, because Zhao Feng carried too many unsolved mysteries.
"Feng’er said, when the realm is unified."
"He’ll request from Brother Zheng to govern a region, for with Brother Zheng here, he’ll dutifully play the role of a vassal, as he said Brother Zheng indeed treats him well. But when Brother Zheng’s hundred years are over, and one of Brother Zheng’s sons ascends leading to disorder, he’ll promptly deploy troops to sweep across the realm and establish a dynasty of his own."
Xia Yufang smiled and said frankly.
She naturally understood how much Ying Zheng cherished Zhao Feng, and she knew Ying Zheng wouldn’t harm her son.
Explaining this, she also let Ying Zheng have a ntal preparation.
To prevent from being too surprised later on.
"This brat."
"No wonder he requested to campaign Baiyue and then guard Baiyue; it turns out this was his plan."
"To guard Baiyue land, waiting for the realm’s chaos, then he deploys troops to sweep across the realm."
"This brat..."
At this mont.
Ying Zheng recalled the resolute reason for requesting to guard Baiyue, leaving him sowhat helpless, beyond laughter or tears.
"Feng’er really holds such disdain for his brothers." Ying Zheng said helplessly.
"Brother Zheng."
"Feng’er considers everything for the future."
"But once he knows you’re his father, he might change his mind." Xia Yufang said with a smile.
"This brat."
"Now I am more eager to see how he reacts once he discovers I’m his father."
"Waiting for his father’s demise, then reshaping the realm, he can’t just await to have the realm handed over by his father?" Ying Zheng laughed and scolded.
For these words from Xia Yufang, Ying Zheng had no trace of anger.
