Chapter 3 The one who respects me the most is actually Little Thirteen!
I, the designated successor, can only wait here respectfully. How dare you barge in?
These are the words deep in Hu Hai's heart that he was unable to express out loud.

However, Ying Heng is no longer the frivolous and dissolute young man in their impression.

Seeing that Hu Hai dared to scold him harshly in front of him, Ying Heng attacked without mercy.

There was only a crisp sound of "Snap!"

Hu Hai was thrown several meters away like a kite with a broken string. The blood gushing out of his mouth instantly dyed his clothes red. Two of his teeth rolled off as he fell to the ground, and they rolled on the ground for a long time.

"Little Eighteen, you don't even recognize Brother Thirteen, do you? Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?"

At this moment, the entire square fell into deathly silence, so quiet that one could hear the sound of a pin drop to the ground.

All the ministers looked at each other in silence, and their eyes were full of shock and disbelief when they looked at Ying Heng.

Hasn't he always been regarded as a cynical playboy?

How could Zhao Gao dare to attack Hu Hai now that he was in power? And why did he break into the imperial palace?

For a moment, the ministers' hearts were in turmoil, but they knew that this was the center of the power vortex and one careless move could result in the loss of their lives, so they chose to remain silent.

After all, the grudges and disputes between the royal princes are not something they can easily interfere with.

Hu Hai covered his burning cheeks, tears streaming down his face in pain. His eyes were filled with deep hatred and anger, and he roared with gritted teeth.

"Ying Heng! You are so brave! Just wait, I will let the teacher get rid of you personally!"

In response, Ying Heng just tilted his head slightly and glanced at Hu Hai with disdain.

"You useless bastard! You can only say these spineless and cruel words? Even if you sit in that position, you are just a puppet at the mercy of others. If my Great Qin were handed over to you, I am afraid it would really fall into an irreparable situation."

"If you don't have the guts to do it, then just lie still and don't block the road. Be like a dog and behave yourself."

Ying Heng walked firmly, without any intention of stopping, and went straight into the depths of the palace.

All the ministers were stunned and speechless. The usually cynical and unruly Thirteenth Prince was the first to step forward when the First Emperor passed away.

However, those who knew the inside story sneered in their hearts: How could it be so easy to break into the imperial palace?
Zhao Gao had already set numerous traps. Not only did you beat Hu Hai, you also dared to force your way in. You really don't know how to live or die!

Now all the court officials knew that Zhao Gao, as the closest person to the First Emperor during his lifetime, had already held great power and was extremely powerful after the First Emperor's death.

Ying Heng stepped onto the stairs and was about to push open the heavy door of the bedroom when the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Li Si walked out with a gloomy face. Seeing Ying Heng who insisted on entering, he said coldly: "Mr. Thirteen, you cannot enter here."

"Oh? Why did you say that?"

A meaningful smile appeared on Ying Heng's lips.

According to historical records, in his previous life, Li Si and Zhao Gao colluded with each other and tampered with the imperial edict to support Hu Hai to ascend the throne.

However, within less than two years, Zhao Gao turned against him and framed him to death, and also implicated his entire clan, resulting in a tragic ending.

Now it seems that Li Si's behavior of standing outside the door to block the way clearly showed that he had been won over by Zhao Gao to conspire to usurp the throne.

Although Li Si was indeed a talented person, he assisted the King of Qin in conquering the world, abolished the feudal system, established the county system to strengthen central power, and unified the writing, currency, and weights and measures. His achievements are indelible.

However, in Ying Heng's eyes, such a talented man seemed to be rebellious.

At this moment, Ying Heng stared at Li Si with deep eyes.

"Prime Minister, if you can pull back from the brink of a cliff, there may be a glimmer of hope. If you continue to be stubborn and follow your foolish path until you reach a dead end, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to your three clans."

As soon as these words came out, Li Si's heart felt like being hit by a heavy hammer, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant!

At this moment, he was secretly planning an act of rebellion with Zhao Gao, and Ying Heng's words were undoubtedly like a sharp arrow piercing his heart.

Ying Heng did not hesitate, and strode forward, pushing Li Si aside, and stepped into the palace like a meteor chasing the moon, leaving only a cold and resolute word echoing in the air. "I am the thirteenth son of the Qin Dynasty. My father has passed away, and I am going to see him off for the last time. This is the duty of a son. I don't see who dares to stop me!"

Li Si's face was pale, he was still in shock and stood there in a daze.

Seeing that even Li Si didn't dare to move, the others were even more silent and no one dared to speak.

Only when Ying Heng's figure gradually faded away did Li Si recover from his shock. He watched the direction where the figure disappeared, with an uncertain light flashing in his eyes.

This playboy, who has always been regarded by Xianyang City as a man who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, seems to have insight into such a secret?
Could it be that he has been hiding his strength all along, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?

However, whether he is a true dragon or a playboy will be revealed after one test.

In that bedroom, Zhao Gao was standing ready like a sinister guardian beast, and it was not easy to break in.

Once he revealed this matter to Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao would probably kill him without mercy.

Since you have decided to venture into the tiger's den, whether you will become a dragon soaring into the sky or a worm hiding in the dust will be revealed at this moment.

As for the official positions arranged by Zhao Gao, let's put them aside for now and wait and see what happens.

In a secret basement somewhere in the Xianyang Palace, a dark shadow quietly appeared and knelt at the feet of the First Emperor to report.

"Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Prince punished Prince Hu Hai and successfully broke through Lord Li Si's obstruction and has now entered your bedroom."

The First Emperor, wearing a black dragon robe, slightly opened his majestic eyes, and a hint of doubt flashed across his expression.

"Little Thirteen?"

In his mind emerged the image of that dandy man who was indulging in wine and women all day long, had no knowledge or skills, no interest in martial arts, and almost never appeared in front of him seriously.

"How did he get the courage to do this? Tell me in detail."

Shadow recounted the entire incident respectfully.

After listening to this, Ying Zheng's lips curled up into a deep smile.

I never expected that after I passed away, the first person who rushed into my bedroom to say goodbye to me was this little Thirteen who seemed to be living in a muddle-headed way!
"It's rare. Little Thirteen is so thoughtful this time."

"I'm afraid I've spoiled Hu Hai too much."

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng sighed slightly.

"My bloodline of the Ying family is so timid outside the palace that they dare not even enter the palace to see me for the last time. It is really unworthy of the great responsibility!"

"That slap from Xiao Shisan was really satisfying!" he praised.

However, Ying Zheng frowned, his thoughts racing.

The secret network that Zhao Gao had run under his nose was indeed quite skillful. If the Thirteenth Prince barged in like this and even beat Hu Hai, he would probably be put in a disadvantageous position.

"A filial child should not suffer any injustice." The First Emperor thought to himself.

"Secret Guard!" he called softly.

"I'm here!" A figure responded from the darkness.

"Go to the palace and keep a close eye on Little Thirteen. Make sure to protect him. Although the child may seem cynical, he has a sincere and filial heart. Don't let Zhao Gao hurt him in the slightest."

"As ordered!"

The black shadow disappeared instantly.
