Chapter 153 Chapter 2 The Royal Seal that Disappeared

Kui Zhuang is an old minister of the Qin State, and his qualifications are even higher than that of Lu Buwei. He is currently a doctor of imperial history and ranks among the three princes.Kai Zang is dignified and solemn, unsmiling, and has a very grand appearance, which makes people daunting.When Kui Zong paid a visit to Zhao Ji, he congratulated first as usual, and Zhao Ji also thanked Zhao Ji modestly as usual.After the formalities were over, he entered the main topic and said: "The old minister dares to ask the queen mother, is the king's imperial seal here?" "exist."

"The old minister is on behalf of the king, please give the seal to the queen mother. I hope the queen mother will grant it." When Yingzheng inherited the throne, he was only thirteen years old and could not take charge of the government himself. The imperial seal of King Qin was kept by the queen mother Zhao Ji and issued orders on her behalf.Today is the day of Yingzheng's coronation ceremony. After the coronation ceremony, it means that Yingzheng will formally take charge of the government, and the imperial seal, which is a symbol of royal power, can no longer be kept by Zhao Ji, but must be returned when it comes.

Zhao Ji was also mentally prepared for this, so she motioned to the maid.The maid presented a gold casket.Zhao Ji took out her personal key, removed the seal, and opened the golden box.Zhao Ji glanced inside the golden box, her complexion changed drastically immediately, she was as pale as wax, as if struck by lightning.Zhao Ji's reaction was fairly quick, and she quickly closed the golden box before Kai Xiang could see what was inside the golden box.What Zhao Ji never expected was that the golden box was actually empty.Before she came to Yongcheng, she put Qin Wang Yuxi into the gold box with her own hands, locked it up and sealed it.

Zhao Ji looked back at the maid.In order to prevent Lai Ai Hongxing from cheating, the maids used by Zhao Ji are all extremely young.The maid, a little girl in her teens, saw that the golden box was empty, and knew that something serious had happened, she was trembling with fright.Zhao Ji was in a state of turmoil for a moment, how could King Qin Yuxi disappear out of thin air?Today, if she couldn't hand over Qin Wang Yuxi, how would she explain to Ying Zheng and the hundreds of pairs of eyes present?It can't be the hands and feet of the maids, they don't have the guts or the ability.Lai Ai must have stolen it.What does he want Qin Wang Yuxi for?In order to support his rebellion work, she had already given him her queen mother's royal seal, which is equivalent to today's woman telling her boyfriend her bank password. She trusts him completely and without reservation.Did he ever think about the embarrassing and dangerous situation he put her in?He clearly did it on purpose, he actually didn't care about her life!

Seeing that Zhao Ji's expression was panicked and she didn't speak, Kui Zhuang asked, "Is the empress dowager in violation of harmony?" Zhao Ji forced a smile, and said bravely: "I am confused, the king's Yuxi must have been forgotten in Xianyang. Let me delay for a few days, and when I return to Xianyang, I will return the Yuxi to the King of Qin in person, okay? " Kai Xing kept his face stern, and couldn't see his inner emotions.After hearing what Zhao Ji said, Kai nodded and said, "It's okay to delay for a few days." After speaking, he saluted and left.

Kai Zhang let her go so easily, which made Zhao Ji feel extremely uneasy.You must know that the crowning ceremony of Yingzheng had been prepared for half a year in order to prevent any small mistakes in the crowning ceremony.The delivery of Wang Xi was the highlight and the climax of the crowning ceremony.All of a sudden, Wang Xi said that if it’s gone, it’s gone, and it’s not the first day that Kai Zhuang came out to mess around, so he should be fully aware of the seriousness of the problem.With such a big leak, can you just say forget it?Although Wei Xiang has a high position and authority, he probably doesn't have the power and ability to make decisions on such issues.He said so firmly, "It's not a big problem", presumably there must be someone behind him supporting him.And that person was undoubtedly Ying Zheng who hadn't shown up yet.

Zhao Ji was completely confused.Last night, Ying Zheng had just given her two pieces of children's clothing, and he obviously hated her to the bone, but now he easily forgave her mistakes, which made Zhao Ji feel even worse.She thought about Lai Ai, about Ying Zheng, worried and frightened, and couldn't help sobbing.I didn't know, but I thought it was because of the deep love between mother and child, seeing that Ying Zheng was about to become an adult, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Zhao Ji's tears were all seen by one person.Yes, this person is Lu Buwei.Lu Buwei is here today.He originally thought that the guest of today's crown ceremony was none other than him. He is the prime minister of the court and Ying Zheng's second father. Who else is more qualified than him?He didn't expect that this job would eventually fall on Kai Xiang's head.The so-called divination to choose a guest is actually just a blindfold.The court officials knew very well in their hearts that who would be the guest had been determined long before the divination.This incident can be regarded as a barometer of Qin's political arena, indicating that Lu Buwei's sun has set.

Although Lu Buwei was restless, when he saw Zhao Ji, he couldn't move his eyes any longer.At first, Zhao Ji just frowned slightly, with a melancholy face.Lu Buwei thought, Could it be that Zhao Ji has something on his mind?Lai Ai didn't come to Yong City, could it be that she was thinking about that fellow Lai Ai?If I don't see you in a day, it's like three autumns?When had she ever thought of me like this?Is there such love in this world?After meeting Zhao Ji and Kui Zhuang for a short conversation, they soon started sobbing, and Lu Buwei felt that things should be more than that simple.He knew this woman too well.She has never been a sentimental person.There must have been an extremely serious situation, which made her cry.

Lu Buwei felt a burst of joy in his heart.cry.Zhao Ji.You've been complacent for too long, it's time for you to cry.He knew that he could no longer hurt Zhao Ji, because Zhao Ji regarded him as a dead person and would not waste any emotion on him. Overjoyed, under excitement, he swallowed hard, but coughed loudly. The solemn ceremony and music played.The audience immediately fell silent.With Kai Zang facing the west, Hong Sheng announced: "The auspicious time has come. Your Majesty will come to the stage to receive the gift."
