"Your Majesty, the power of the snare should not be underestimated. There may not be people who snare the snare in your residence." Seeing that Cheng Yu agreed to protect him, Lao Ai said quickly.
"What do you mean by this?" Cheng Yu asked with a cold expression.
He could hear distrust in Lao Ai's words, which was a distrust of his ability.
"Your Majesty, the killers in the trap are everywhere. Moreover, now that the trap belongs to the king, if he wants to take action against the king, he will easily infiltrate the people in the trap into Junshan's mansion." Lao Ai said worriedly.
"If such a situation really occurs, my personal life and death will be a trivial matter. If this gives King Qin a reason to take action against you, then my sin will be huge." Lao Ai said.
"Is the net really that all-pervasive?" After hearing Lao Ai's words, Cheng Yu's expression also changed a little.
"Yes, if I were still in the trap now, it would not be very difficult to infiltrate people into the Chang'an Lord's residence." Lao Ai said.
"This is a trouble." Cheng Yu said hesitantly.

"Miss, someone broke into the house." In the courtyard where Bai Ling lived, a girl dressed as a dancer said.
"Human? Li Wu, have you ever seen clearly who it is?" Bai Ling, who was wiping his sword, asked.
"No, but that sword feels familiar." The maid named Li Wu replied.
"What sword?" Bai Ling asked.
"The sword is in the scabbard, so you can't see its full appearance, but the hilt is like the hilt of a sun-shielding sword." Li Wu replied.
"You are the one who made the net, so you shouldn't be mistaken, but covering the sun?" Bai Ling said, putting down the long sword in his hand and looking at the woman in front of him.
"It seems that Luowang is going to undergo big changes." Bai Ling thought about it and said nothing more.
This girl named Li Wu is a dancer in Chang'an Jun's mansion. If Bai Ling hadn't been a person who is extremely sensitive to murderous intent, she might not have been able to discover the other layer of identity behind Li Wu.
However, Bai Ling finally discovered it.
If under normal circumstances, Bai Ling would definitely know about a killer in his home, but that was just a normal situation.
She has never regarded this place as her own home. Whoever appears in this home has nothing to do with her.
Therefore, Bai Ling chose to acquiesce to Li Wu's existence.
And Li Wu also chose to temporarily serve Bai Ling because of the order, so that the scene just happened.
······
Although it was late at night, the lights were still flickering in the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Buwei, who was sitting behind the desk, was in a very bad mood at this time, or in other words, he was not in a good mood all day.
The net was lost in his hands. For Lu Buwei, this was not only a blow to his power, but also a blow to his prestige.
The former is only a tangible loss, while the latter is fatal.
"Have Luo Wang's personnel files and tokens been sent to Xianyang Palace?" Lu Buwei said to the middle-aged man who opened the door and walked in.
"Yes, the files and tokens of all Luowang personnel have been sent to Xianyang Palace." The visitor said. Gu Mao
Under the light, I saw that the person who came was about thirty years old, with a fair face and no beard, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Lu Buwei.
He is Lu Buwei's son. Among Lu Buwei's descendants, the one with the lowest sense of existence is named Lu Dan.
"Today's incident was indeed a bit abnormal. When I think back on it, I always feel like there is someone behind the scenes pushing this incident," Lu Shan said.
"Do you also feel this way? Logically speaking, whoever benefits the most from this matter is most likely to be the person behind the scenes. If this is the case, only the king is the most suspect." Lu Buwei thought.
.
"However, the king's actions should not reveal such traces." Lu Shan said.
"Yes, your Majesty is too thoughtful to do something so conspicuous." Lu Buwei said.
"Perhaps Lao Ai really made her own decision and was caught by Lord Chang Ping?" Lu Dan said hesitantly.
"In that case, there would be too many coincidences." Lu Buwei said.
"Where is Lord Chang'an?" Lu Dan asked.
"Although everyone is suspicious, forget it about Lord Chang'an. He doesn't have that kind of wisdom. Instead of doubting him, it's better to believe that Lao Ai made his own decisions and was caught by Lord Chang Ping..." Lu Buwei said with disdain.
said.
"However, the king is still the most suspicious. Moreover, here, we must prepare for the worst, because even the slightest misjudgment may have fatal consequences. Maybe the king really took action." Lu Buwei
Then he said.
"Your Majesty, can he really not wait for two years?" Lu Dan said worriedly.
"Maybe I was too arrogant before and was blinded by power. Although this incident was beyond my expectation, the root cause still lies with me. When I thought about throwing the net into Xianyang, I
I have already dug a big hole for myself, and now that I have fallen into this trap early, it may be a good thing for me." Lu Buwei said thoughtfully.
After what happened during the day, Lu Buwei suddenly realized that while he was pursuing power, he had unknowingly pushed himself into a dead end that was difficult to turn back.
"Is he really the king?" Lu Shan asked.
"Forget it, this matter has already passed. There is no use thinking about it. Besides, bad things can turn into good things. Even if it is really the king who takes action, that's fine. At least it proves that the king still needs me to sit down.
In the position of the Prime Minister, otherwise, he could have completely ignored me until I couldn't look back, and then captured me in one fell swoop." Lu Buwei then smiled, and his sad face disappeared.
"Yes, the current situation may be the best outcome for father." Lu Shan said.
"You go down, it's already getting late. It's too late to go back. If you wake up my precious granddaughter, you and your wife won't have to sleep tonight." Lu Buwei said.
"Father, please go to bed early." Lu Shan said.
"It's time to have a good rest." Lu Buwei said in an incomprehensible tone.
Lu Dan returned to his courtyard and saw that the lights in the bedroom were still flickering. Knowing that his wife was still waiting for him, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
"Husband, are you finished with your work?" As soon as Lu Dan walked to the door, a woman had already opened the door.
"Well, I've finished my work. This matter can be concluded," Lu Shan said.
"That's good," the woman said, closing the door tightly.
"The pheasant girl is sleeping soundly." Lu Dan came to a cradle bed and looked at the baby inside.
"Children have nothing to think about, so they naturally sleep soundly." The woman smiled gently.
"That's true, I hope I can sleep so soundly tonight." Lu Dan said.
