It wasn't until Zhang Han stepped forward to help that the lights illuminated the hall again.
Ying Xuan turned his back to the table, fearing that Xiao Ru would laugh at him because of his drowned embarrassment.
He turned around and walked out of the side room back to the main hall, opened the closet and rummaged through for a change of clothes.
In the past, he would take the initiative to deliver the clothes at hand, but today he can't find them even if he avoids them.
After searching for a while, Ying Xuan gave up. He walked to the case with an expressionless face and wanted to comb his hair.
The bronze mirror on the table was dim and gloomy, making it difficult to see anything clearly, and the wet hair became more and more messy.
He stopped again after several attempts at combing.
The coolness penetrated the roof, and the thick loneliness shrouded it like an infinite black cloth. Ying Xuan had no way to hide.
"boom!"
He violently overturned the desk and kicked the wardrobe.
"How dare? How dare they?"
The empty hall hummed with Ying Xuan's roar.
Everything that could be picked up around him was smashed to pieces by Ying Xuan.
He opened his mouth and tried his best to vent his cry. He was no longer the giant with a mind as big as the world in Zhang Liang's eyes.
More like a child who is alone and hurt after losing a loved one.
Zhang Han wanted to step forward to help Ying Xuan up, but was stopped by Zhang Liang.
After waiting for a long time for Ying Xuan to stand up again, Zhang Liang spoke.
"Sir! The top priority is to track down the murderer! We must not let the criminal escape!"
Ying Xuan calmed down and walked back to the side room again.
He knelt down half-kneeling and hugged Wangcai into his arms. The head that used to be warm was now too cold for him to touch.
My whole body couldn't stop trembling, and the chill inside me kept turning into ice.
yes! This place has never been where he belongs.
He came after Fusu was poisoned, and the world was full of malice towards him from the beginning.
Whether it was the wooden pendant or this dish, they were all directed at him.
Those people secretly want Ying Xuan to die all the time! For this reason, they would even kill everyone around him at all costs. They have no mercy towards Ying Xuan!
At this moment, Ying Xuan was finally awakened by the cruelty of this world.
This is not that peaceful era, this is a world that has just gone through five hundred years of war and strife.
People have long been accustomed to living between power and conspiracy.
They continue to achieve their political goals in the name of various righteousnesses.
Never give up until you achieve your goal!
At this moment, Ying Xuan finally felt that if he was not strong, even if he had a father who would be the emperor for eternity, he would still be beaten to death.
Just like Fusu was sent to the Great Wall in history, but was forced to death by Zhao Gao and Li Si!
The peaceful life in the past three months has been like a dream, and now it has been severely awakened.
Ying Xuan finally understood that defense was useless. He could only become stronger, so strong that the other party could not threaten him, so strong that the other party did not dare to cover his conspiracy, and so strong that the other party would tremble when he mentioned his name.
Only then will he be entitled to enjoy peace!
Ying Xuan's previous scruples and previous cautiousness were all forgotten at this moment.
He tremblingly helped the maids close their eyes, and a drop of tear took away the last bit of luck in his heart.
Opening it again, all that flashed through his eyes was ruthlessness and ferocity.
"Since you want me to die so much! Let's see if you can afford the price!"
"Tell my father! Ying Xuan was assassinated and Xianyang City was sealed!"
…
On this day, it rained heavily in Xianyang!
Thirty thousand imperial guards came out, the city gates were sealed, and the First Emperor sat alone in the Purple Gold Palace.
The prime minister, censor, and court officials gathered in the audience.
Thousands of people including the palace's chefs, maids and concubines checked one by one.
Everyone who had anything to do with that dish was stripped clean.
In the end, it was only discovered that a maid delivering food was poisoned. After being found out, the maid committed suicide on the spot, without revealing a word about who was behind it.
The maid was an orphan since she was a child. She had no father or mother and no family or friends. She had no motive for poisoning, but she did it!
Everyone knew there had to be someone behind the scenes.
But the clues are broken. In this era, there is no possibility of finding the culprit after the murderer dies!
Ying Xuan's punch was like hitting cotton with no reaction.
The people behind the scenes are confident.
The First Emperor was furious and kicked over the table in front of him.
"A bunch of trash!"
"The majestic Qin Palace was poisoned and the murderer could not be found?"
"Wei Ting! I'll give you three days. If you can't find out who's behind it, I'll replace you with your whole family!"
The furious First Emperor's murderous aura could not be controlled and escaped outwards.
The clothes of the three people in the audience were almost soaked with sweat.
Li Si couldn't figure out who had the courage and the means to poison Ying Xuan in the palace.
In today's world, Da Qin is a well-deserved giant that dominates thousands of miles.
Such a powerful country cannot even defend a royal palace.
This was more than just poisoning, it was simply a slap in the face of Da Qin!
The censor scolded the other party's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.
Judging from Ying Zheng's attitude, if no important person can be found this time, the three of them will be in trouble.
Ting Wei, who was in charge of punishment, was so frightened that he trembled all over.
"I will definitely find out the person behind it. If I can't, I will die to apologize! Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your dragon body!"
Ying Zheng did not answer, but waved them away with a cold face.
Meng Yi, who waited for the three people to leave, immediately stepped forward.
"Your Majesty! It was those people who did it. The secret guards are ready to close the net at any time. As long as you give the order, no one involved can escape!"
Ying Zheng frowned.
"Only three maids died? Is the boy's favorite one dead?"
Meng Yi lowered his head and replied.
"The maid in charge is still alive, so I ordered someone to replace her in advance. I just didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves because I was afraid of disturbing the situation."
Ying Zheng nodded, although he also hoped that Ying Xuan would suffer more setbacks, so that he could see this cruel world and be less naive, but after all, he was only a teenager, and it didn't matter if two maids died. The maid who was his wife had grown up with him Yes, if he died too, I'm afraid the blow would be too harsh.
"Don't move for now, let this kid do a lot of things, and catch him again after he's done venting his anger!"
Meng Yi nodded in agreement, but was a little surprised in his heart.
Your Majesty really cares about the eldest son.
"The real person behind it is well hidden. He failed to catch the other party's flaws twice. These are just idiots who were coerced and jumped out. What's the use even if they are all killed?"
Ying Zheng sighed, and then asked the eunuch beside him.
"How's the boy doing?"
The eunuch hurriedly reported.
"After the young master sent someone to pass the news to you, he stayed in Yude Hall and did not come out!"
"That girl Huanyin has also gone back. On the way, Young Master's staff also ordered someone to send some meals in."
Only then did Ying Zheng look a little better.
…
The dark clouds dispersed and the rain stopped. Huanyin, who rushed back from outside, remained silent.
Ying Xuan, who was sitting at the table, ate expressionlessly.
"You mean, before this dish was delivered in the morning, someone happened to come and ask you to choose clothes for the young master? And the maid also agreed to take turns for you?"
Zhang Liang looked puzzled and asked as if he didn't understand.
Huanyin bit her lip and nodded hurriedly, ignoring the tears flowing down her face.
"That's right, by the time I finished picking up the rain it was already raining heavily, so I'll wait until the rain subsides before I come back!"
Zhang Liang and Zhang Han looked at each other in confusion. They never believed this was a coincidence.
This expression drove Huanyin crazy, and she continued to think of an explanation.
Ying Xuan spoke coldly.
"They're not doubting you!"
Huanyin was stunned.
"They can't understand what my father is doing!"
Ying Xuan finished his last bite of food and looked through the window at the majestic Zijin Palace in the distance.
He figured it out the moment Huanyin came back.
Three months ago, Fusu was poisoned and was in a coma for several days, almost turning into a corpse. Although he miraculously survived, how could the majestic Qin Shihuang just let it go? He must have already found out who poisoned him.
These people were acting almost under the nose of the First Emperor. Ying Xuan didn't know why Ying Zheng let them go.
Perhaps it is the patience of a hunter who wants to catch a big fish, or perhaps he is forbearing for the sake of national justice.
But these are not things Ying Xuan needs to consider.
All he knew was that the people around him were killed!
He must let this court, this Xianyang, and even the entire Great Qin see the consequences of provoking Ying Xuan.
"Zhang Han, tell Lieutenant Ting! I will personally observe the trial tomorrow!"
