Chapter 122 The regent’s great cause is just around the corner
"What? Qin Shuhuang and Qin Shumin quarreled in Funing Hall?"

The person who asked the question was the regent Qin Wei who was sitting at the top. He couldn't help laughing as he spoke.

"These two children don't look like they did when they were young. How good were the two of them when they were together. Forget it, this king can't control them. Tell me more specifically, and how about King Zhenbei?"

The person dressed in eunuch clothes told the regent what happened in the morning in detail.

Qin Wei's face relaxed more and more as he listened, and he waved people off.

Not long after, General Liu came out from behind the screen.

General Liu strode forward and saluted Qin Wei, "My subordinates, congratulations to your lord. God is truly helping your lord."

Unexpectedly, the emperor pushed the eldest princess even further in this marriage gift!
King Zhenbei also had no interest in power, as they secretly inquired, and was even more indifferent to the eldest princess, avoiding things in the palace.

If things continue like this, the emperor will be even weaker, and the great cause of the regent is just around the corner!

"Come, sit down." The regent waved to General Liu.

General Liu sat down beside Qin Wei, "My subordinates just got the news that the eldest princess is going to go to the general election. Do you want my subordinates to send someone to stop the eldest princess?"

The regent shook his head, "No, let Qin Shuhuang go if she wants. Now she has nothing to fear. If she has the ability to protect the young lady from the Xue family she likes, she will be just a foil after the primary election. Don’t worry too much.”

General Liu heard what the regent said and nodded, "My lord is right."

Suddenly, General Liu approached the regent and said with a smile, "My lord, have you opened that little gift from my subordinate?"

Qin Wei was in a happy mood today. Hearing this, he glanced at General Liu, "From Fang Yuan?"

General Liu laughed.

"Since that's the case, the general will accompany me to Fangyuan to have a few drinks tonight."

"It's better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Qin Shuhuang came out of Funing Palace with an angry face, and Ruihe Shiyu followed quickly.

Qin Shuhuang left the Funing Hall in one breath and stopped near the Zhongji Hall.

When she came out, Xiao Naiguan asked several eunuchs and maids to follow Qin Shuhuang to take care of her.

At this moment, Qin Shuhuang stopped, and the eunuchs and maids also stopped and stood nearby with their heads down.

Qin Shuhuang glanced at the four eunuchs and four maids who were following, and ordered arrogantly, "Go and prepare the carts and tea and snacks for me, I will use them now!"

The four eunuchs and maids left halfway, Rui He asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, are you not going back to the residence?"

"Go back home? Why do I want to go back? I grew up in this palace. I also have a share in this palace. I can stay as long as I want."

Ruihe was "shocked" for a while, and silently retreated to the side.

After a while, the car and the food box were brought over by the eunuch and the maid.

Qin Shuhuang got into the car and was carried by four eunuchs to the direction of Yuzhao Palace where the general election was held today.

Yuzhao Palace is not in the harem of Dawu Palace, but in the outermost ring of palaces. To go to Yuzhao Palace, you must first leave the harem.

As soon as Qin Shuhuang's car arrived at Yuyang Gate, he saw a familiar figure waiting at the palace gate with two personal guards.

Qin Shuhuang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the familiar figure, but the corners of his mouth curved unconsciously.

When they got close, Xuan Cang bowed his hands and saluted Qin Shuhuang, "I would like to send you my regards, Your Highness. I am late, so please forgive me."

Qin Shuhuang glanced at Xuan Cang. He was wearing soft armor and had a sword on his waist. Even the boots on his feet and the sword on his waist were different from those worn by King Zhenbei.

Her brother Can Wang is really quick enough to change disguises.

"Okay, I don't blame you, I'll stay by my side."

Qin Shuhuang is the eldest princess and Qin Shumin's half-sister, who has been loved since childhood.

Since she was kidnapped by the eunuchs of Ye Ting when she was young, the late emperor gave her the power to bring escorts in the palace.

On the way to Yuzhao Palace, Qin Shuhuang asked Xuancang amusedly, "Ruda gave you a leave this morning, saying that you were not feeling well and had a stomachache, and went to see a doctor. Why are you rushing here again?"

"This subordinate's little problem is nothing, but His Highness's safety is more important. After seeing the doctor, he led people to the gate of the palace."

"Bengong's medical skills are not bad. Later, I will show you for yourself."

Xuan Cang: ...

The abdominal pain thing was just a rumor he made up casually. How could Qin Shuhuang really see him and diagnose his pulse? Wouldn't that reveal the truth...

"No need to trouble Your Highness, your subordinate is already much better."

"That won't work. Listen to me. When you return to the palace, I will show you."

Xuan Cang: ...

I feel like I accidentally dug a hole for myself.

In Funing Hall, after Qin Shuhuang left, Xia Qianwei also came back.

On the way back, Xia Qianwei learned about everything that happened in Funing Palace.

The corner of her mouth raised, and her steps became faster.

After entering the inner hall, she walked lightly, and then saw Qin Shumin rubbing his forehead standing by the window with a gloomy expression.

Xia Xiwei walked to Fu Shen not far away and said, "Your Majesty, this slave is back."

Qin Shumin came back to his senses and looked at the blessed Xia Qianwei, only then did he have a smile on his face.

"Be tired, let's have a sip of tea!"

Xia Qianwei smiled and walked to the side table, holding a cup of half-warm tea, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After drinking the tea, Xia Qianwei said: "Nine out of ten people in the general election have some relationship with the regent, and the girl from Xue's family is from the eldest princess's side." After speaking, Xia Qianwei took out a note from her sleeve and presented it to Qin with both hands special min.

"Your Majesty, this is a candidate who has nothing to do with the Regent. It's just that the people on this list are not sure that they really have no connection with the Regent."

Qin Shumin took the note and looked carefully. There were five or six names on the note.

These people, Qin Shuhuang had told Qin Shumin before, they were the spies planted by Qin Wei secretly!
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? You have to go over in person to keep an eye out. No matter what, the concubine and the regent princess will give you some face, so it's not good to refute you on the spot." Xia Qianwei suggested.

Just as Qin Shumin was about to speak, Xiao Qing hurried in.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess has gone to the Yuzhao Palace where the election will take place."

"I see, go down."

Xiao Qing bowed and stepped back.

"Qin Shuhuang went to Yuzhao Palace, so I won't go, I don't want to see her again!"

As he said that, Qin Shumin's face became even more ugly, "Anyway, none of the candidates I am satisfied with, even if I go, the result will not be much better!"

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked to the study.

Xia Qianwei hurriedly followed her, her eyes moved slightly, and she comforted softly: "Your Majesty, you must not give up, this Great Wu Dynasty is your Great Wu Dynasty, how can you let the Regent King and the Eldest Princess influence your wedding!"

"The matter has come to this, what can I do!"

"There are many things that the Emperor can do. At least this slave, Mr. Xiao and others have always stood by the Emperor. As long as the Emperor orders, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life!"

"Really?"

Xia Qianwei immediately knelt in front of Qin Shumin, raised her watery eyes and looked at Qin Shumin lovingly.
