The team escorting the Qin clan members was not moving very fast. It would take three days for them to arrive in Xianyang. The news had already spread throughout the city that Prince Zheng was not the biological son of King Qinzhuang. It was extremely evil!
Not long after, the news reached the ears of King Qinzhuang. He was extremely angry at first. After calming down and thinking about it, this matter spread all over the place. Zhao Ji and he had indeed been with Lu Buwei before, and Ying Zheng was indeed less than a month old. He was born right away. Are the rumors true?
Let’s question Zhao Ji first.
Of course, Zhao Ji would not say that Ying Zheng was Lu Buwei's son. The two of them had made a plan as early as fourteen years ago. At that time, they had thought of everything that might happen in the future.
Of course King Qin did not want Ying Zheng to be someone else's father. Among his two sons, Cheng Qiao was inferior to Ying Zheng in every aspect.
Then, Zhao Ji quickly met Lu Buwei secretly.
"Haha, don't worry!" Lu Buwei smiled and said to her: "I sent people to spread the rumors in the first place. Cheng Qiao's group didn't have anything valuable at all. The initiative is in my hands. This is called sweeping the floor!"
Zhao Ji said while slapping her chest: "I was scared to death. I thought something had happened! You really are, why didn't you say hello to me in advance so that I could be prepared!"
Lu Buwei smiled and said: "In that case, you will not be able to face the king righteously. It will be bad if he sees the flaw! As long as this matter develops smoothly, our Zheng'er will I will ascend to the position of crown prince, and after a hundred years, my son will be the King of Qin!"
Zhao Ji rolled her eyes at him and said charmingly: "I have suffered a lot for your great cause of stealing the country! Can you stay here a little longer? I haven't received the Prime Minister's love for a long time..."
Hearing these words, Lu Buwei started sweating on his forehead. He knew very well what Zhao Ji was like in bed, and he had to be squeezed dry by her. My old bones can't stand the torment, so I'd better run away!
"I also want to stay with you, but I can't!" Lu Buwei said firmly: "Rumors are spreading everywhere, and the king has begun to suspect that you and I are having an affair. At this time, we must be careful! Also, I must always be careful. To avoid any complications, I will resign first and wait until Zheng'er becomes the crown prince!"
After saying that, Lu Buwei turned around and left, turning a deaf ear to Zhao Ji's call.
"Both of these old guys are unwilling to stay!" Zhao Ji sat angrily on the bed and whispered to herself: "It's been several days and the master has not shown up. The slave family is really empty!"
"Really?" Ji Jie's unique voice came from the window.
Zhao Ji was overjoyed and ran to the window in three steps at a time. She opened the wooden window and said in surprise: "When the master arrived, the slave family has no idea at all!"
Let you know, am I still Ji Jie? He arrived here almost at the same time as Lu Buwei, and had been hiding outside the window and eavesdropping.
Now that Lu Buwei has agreed to cooperate, he wants to drag Zhao Ji onto his pirate ship, a two-pronged approach.
Ji Jie jumped into the room, and Zhao Ji immediately helped him undress and take off his belt, and the two of them got straight to the point.
After a battle, Zhao Ji lay contentedly in his arms and asked softly: "Master came to the slave family this time. What do you want to ask the slave family to do?"
Ji Jie was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "How do you know I have something to do with you?"
"Isn't it?" Zhao Ji said while drawing circles on Ji Jie's chest with her hand: "Every time the master appears, he has something to tell the slave!"
"Haha, smart!" Ji Jie lowered his voice and told his plan.
Zhao Ji listened very carefully, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling broadly. She never doubted Ji Jie's words.
…
Rumors about Ying Zheng spread throughout the streets and alleys of Xianyang City, becoming a topic that people talked about after dinner. After these days of rumors, many details were added to the rumors. For example, the incident came from the mouth of Prince Chengqiao. Absolutely trustworthy and so on.
At the beginning, when Cheng Qiao and Yang Quanjun heard the news, they were so happy that they couldn't figure out where to suppress Ying Zheng. However, the more this news spread, the more unsure they became.
"Isn't this a trap?" Cheng Qiao asked.
Yang Quanjun shook his head and said: "It's not surprising that the rumors came from us! I think this is a good thing. Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, the king will not pass the crown prince's position to a person with doubtful identity. What do you think? Woolen cloth!"
Cheng Qiao nodded.
Regarding the increasingly powerful rumors, King Qinzhuang felt that he could no longer remain silent, so he summoned a group of ministers to discuss the matter together.
Yang Quanjun and others took the opportunity to suppress Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei, and Lu Buwei's group was suppressed until they could not raise their heads.
"Okay, okay, please stop arguing. What a shame!" King Qin impatiently interrupted their argument and said, "I also believe that Zheng'er is my biological son, but the rumors among the people are so serious that we must let him go. Only by telling the truth can you stop Youyou's mouth, dear friends, do you have any good ideas?"
Lu Buwei winked at a minister.
This minister's name was Ying Guan. He was obviously from Yangquan Jun's faction, but he was actually an internal agent arranged by Lu Buwei. He was responsible for reporting the news. He took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I think the only way to stop the mouths of the world is to shed blood." There is a way to recognize the bride!"
Yangquan Jun heard it right. Ying Zheng's appearance is somewhat similar to Lu Buwei's. He might really be his son. The best way to recognize him is to shed blood.
"Okay, I think it's feasible!" King Qin ordered: "Go to the prince's government and prepare the tools to recognize your relatives with blood!"
"Yes!" A group of eunuchs were divided into two groups. One group went to Ying Zheng's prince's palace, and the other group carried up tables, porcelain bowls, daggers, spirits and other items in a hurry.
Lu Buwei, who had been silent until now, sneered, stepped forward and said: "Since everyone suspects that I am Wang Zizheng's father, I beg the king to let His Highness Wang Zizheng and I confess our blood first, in order to restore my innocence!"
"Okay!" King Qin Zhuang also wanted to know the result and ordered: "Since this was proposed by Mr. Ying Guan, let him do it himself!"
"I obey!" Ying Guan shouted loudly.
The Yangquan Jun group naturally had no objection when the King of Qin asked "his people" to preside over the blood recognition.
Ying Zheng didn't know what was going on. As soon as he bowed to the King of Qin, Ying Guan handed over a sharp knife and said: "Prince please!"
Lu Buwei also picked up a knife, scratched his left index finger, and dropped a few drops of blood into a bowl filled with spirits.
Although Ying Zheng didn't understand what he was doing, he still did it.
Ying Guan picked up a bamboo branch, stirred it in the bowl and said: "If Wang Zizheng and Lu Xiangguo are father and son, their blood should be able to blend together!"
Under the annotation of dozens of pairs of eyes, the blood and liquor of the two people turned into a paste thicker than sesame paste. Lu Buwei smiled confidently, King Qin let out a sigh of relief, and Yang Quanjun and others were wide-eyed. Eye!
