As he spoke.
Zhao Gao scrambled his way out of Zhangtai Palace.
Nevertheless, he also breathed a sigh of relief, thankful to be alive.
All it would take was a single word.
Ying Zheng could crush him like an ant.
After all, he was rely a temple official, a lowly temple official.
"Now Feng’er has spread his wings."
"The court has also welcod change."
"There is no need to conceal anymore."
"It’s better to quash their intentions early, and live peacefully in days to co." Ying Zheng murmured to himself.
The reason for raising Hu Hai and letting Fusu and Hu Hai fight was simply to divert attention from Zhao Feng so that Zhao Feng could grow swiftly.
After all, initially, Fusu had too many supporters at court.
With Hu Hai’s ergence, their attention naturally shifted away from Zhao Feng.
But now, looking at his son.
With the strength of the Immortals that made him invulnerable to mortals, Ying Zheng was even less afraid.
His son was so formidable; it seed everything he had done for Zhao Feng was insignificant.
"Martial Dao Power."
"Strength of the Immortals."
"I am indeed curious."
Ying Zheng’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
...
Inside Mrs. Hu’s Palace.
"Central Carriage Commandant arrives."
The temple official outside shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this.
Mrs. Hu and Hu Hai imdiately stood up, and their faces broke into smiles.
The next mont.
Zhao Gao walked in slowly, his face still pale, having survived the ordeal.
"Master, what happened to you?"
"Why do you look so distressed?"
Looking at Zhao Gao in front of him, Hu Hai asked sowhat puzzledly.
Mrs. Hu felt the sa.
"Did sothing happen?" Mrs. Hu also asked with concern.
This was the first ti she had seen Zhao Gao appear in front of them looking like this; it must be sothing major.
"Madam, Young Master."
"From today onward."
"I am here to resign from my position as Young Master’s teacher."
Zhao Gao’s voice carried a tone of helplessness.
As he spoke these words, he felt a sense of relief.
He understood.
If he didn’t make the choice now, perhaps he would have died earlier in Zhangtai Palace.
"Why?"
Mrs. Hu and Hu Hai both looked shocked.
Unclear why it suddenly ca to this.
Everything seed fine; why would Zhao Gao want to resign?
"Madam."
"If it wasn’t an unavoidable Heavenly Destiny, why would I speak of it?" Zhao Gao said helplessly.
Though he didn’t explicitly say it, the term "Heavenly Destiny" in Qin ant royal decree.
The two naturally understood imdiately.
"Is it the Great King?" Mrs. Hu’s face also turned grim.
"Madam, I cannot say much more."
"In short."
"Young Master must never harbor thoughts of that position again, otherwise... the consequences are unpredictable."
"This is my last heartfelt advice."
"I take my leave."
Zhao Gao respectfully bowed to Mrs. Hu, then quickly exited the hall.
He ca swiftly, and left just as swiftly.
Clearly.
After the previous fright in Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Gao naturally dared not linger long.
Henceforth, he must sever ties with Hu Hai to ensure his own survival.
Watching Zhao Gao’s swift departure.
Mrs. Hu and Hu Hai looked visibly upset.
"Mother, what on earth is going on?"
"Why did Zhao Gao suddenly cut off the ntor-disciple relationship?" Hu Hai’s face darkened.
Previously calling him master repeatedly, yet now addressing him by na, revealing Hu Hai’s thoughts.
"It seems sothing has erged with your father."
"If it wasn’t for your father, Zhao Gao wouldn’t abandon you." Mrs. Hu’s face also turned grim.
Following Wang Wan’s downfall, and Fusu’s maternal clan falling out of favor.
Fusu’s support at court had significantly weakened, whereas her son Hu Hai naturally benefited from greater backing, and the court’s situation was clearly evident, even pressing down Fusu’s montum.
But this situation now.
Perhaps there has been a change with King of Qin.
This is sothing Mrs. Hu finds hard to accept.
"Fusu’s maternal grandfather has already betrayed the nation, yet does father still favor Fusu?"
"With the world about to be unified, could father choose Fusu as Crown Prince?"
"No, I am unwilling." Hu Hai said with a face of madness.
"Having chosen this path, there is no turning back."
"Although Fusu appears to be hypocritically benevolent, those under his command are not kind-hearted at all. If he truly becos the Crown Prince, there will be no way for us mother and son to survive." Madam Hu also spoke through gritted teeth, clearly unwilling to accept this.
Now that they have all waged the struggle, once it begins, they won’t rest until they achieve their goal.
If they fail, it would inevitably lead to a dead end.
"But now Zhao Gao no longer supports us and even advises us to give up."
"This clearly ans he has received news from Father."
"If it really is bad news, that would be terrible." Hu Hai said worriedly.
"As long as it’s not announced, nothing is settled."
"And even if it is announced, can Fusu really live forever and be immune to all diseases?" Madam Hu sneered, obviously with an idea in mind.
"What about Zhao Gao?"
Hu Hai asked.
"He’s just a eunuch, whether he’s there or not makes no difference."
"In the past, the reason we tried to win him over was because he was a close attendant to your father."
"Now that it’s broken, let it be; after all, you still have many supporters in the court." Madam Hu said indifferently.
"Mm." Hu Hai nodded and said no more.
Zhao Mansion!
"Mother is back."
Seeing his mother return, Zhao Feng’s face broke into a smile.
"Mm."
Xia Dong’er nodded her head.
"Why did it take so long?" Zhao Feng asked in confusion.
From the ti she went to the Royal Palace till now, more than two Chinese hours had passed.
"The Great King kept for a al before I returned." Xia Dong’er replied gently.
"The Great King didn’t do anything to you, did he?" Zhao Feng asked with so concern.
"Feng’er, what are you saying?"
"He’s the king, what could he do to your mother?"
Xia Dong’er glared at him, slightly annoyed.
"Haha."
"For so reason, I always feel that the Great King was acting strange today." Zhao Feng smiled awkwardly.
At this mont!
"Mother-in-law."
A voice was heard from outside.
Wang Jian and his wife strode over.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law."
Xia Dong’er also nodded slightly, smiling.
For Wang Jian and his wife, they naturally ca to Shaqiu to visit Xia Dong’er.
But it was Zhao Feng who was leading the troops outside.
"Uncle."
Wang Li also ran over, the teenage boy looking at Zhao Feng with eyes full of admiration.
"Just in ti."
"Let’s dine in the mansion today."
"Zhang Ming, take out the fine wine stored in the mansion." Zhao Feng imdiately said with a smile.
"I heard that my mother-in-law ca."
"So I ca specifically to see." Wang Jian said with a smile.
"Father-in-law, no need for such formalities between family."
"Since I’m back, I also plan to visit your residence." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"Alright."
"Everyone, don’t just stand."
"Please enter the hall and sit." Xia Dong’er said at the right mont.
"Yes, yes, enter the hall and sit." Zhao Feng smiled and imdiately led the way.
The group imdiately walked towards the main hall of the mansion.
But just as they entered the hall not long after.
"Your Majesty."
"Tingwei seeks an audience with his son." Han Chenyan ca quickly to report.
Upon hearing this.
Zhao Feng’s gaze turned to Zhao Ying, who was next to his mother.
"Ying’er, they’re here for you." Zhao Feng smiled.
Zhao Ying’s face flushed with a shy red tint.
"Let them in." Zhao Feng said to Han Chenyan.
"Yes." Han Chenyan imdiately retreated.
In no ti.
Li Si ca in briskly, followed by Li You.
As the war ended.
Li You naturally returned to Xianyang.
And this ti, he returned for a major life event.
"Greetings to Lord Wu’an."
Li Si ca and smiled, saluting Zhao Feng with cupped hands.
"Please sit, Tingwei."
Zhao Feng smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"Lord Wu’an, I’ve co today, and there’s no need for formalities."
"Today I’m here specifically for my son."
Li Si smiled and looked at Zhao Ying.
