Xiao Pan was standing at the ith his ararden below, he does look i and withdrew, he plainly invited: “Grand Tutor, please come to my side!”
Xiang Shaolong felt that he is starting to rese to his side, he joined hi the sunset
Xiao Pan turned and watched hi softly
Xiang Shaolong was curious: “Is so Crown Prince?”
Xiao Pan revealed a bitter expression and sighed: “If I am bothered, no one should know better than Grand Tutor!”
Xiang Shaolong was taken aback
This is the first ti to hi can feel the distance widening between both of thehed as well
After an unnatural minute of silence, Xiao Pan revealed: “Yesterday, Pree He told me that in this world, there are only three persons who are really sincere tothe three persons, only he can help me unite the whole world He advised me not to trust anyone else Anyone else besides the three of the me dominate the world Ai! He really treats ht that I know it as well”
Turning around, he stared straight at Xiang Shaolong and asked in a low voice: “Master! Why did he say soainst you? I don’t even knohen I’ll be King but he seee?”
Xiang Shaolong was feeling uncomfortable under his stare
In the past, he will scold hiaze, he was lost for words At the same time, froood terence
Xiao Pan realised his slip and reco: “Fro unhappy must have happened between him and Premier Lu”
His htly, he added: “Does Grand Tutor still wishes to hide so from me?”
Xiang Shaolong was suddenly alarht up
Although he knew that Xiao Pan will soon be King after King Zhuangxiang’s death as stated in history but hoould Lu Buwei know this as well? Thinking deeper, his heart pumped madly
Xiao Pan was surprised and inquired: “Why is Grand Tutor’s expression so grave looking?”
Xiang Shaolong was thinking furiously Historiansdied of illness three years after ascending the throne But this is not true
King Zhuangxiang is poisoned to death by Lu Buwei Otherwise, he will not say these strange things to Xiao Pan
How can he watch by the side as Lu Buwei carried out his murder plan?
His heart is beating even faster than ever
He is really dumb and blindly believed history books and movies He should have predicted this possibility
If he told everything to King Zhuangxiang honestly, hoill he think?
Fro and Zhu Ji, they will believe what he says Will history be changed?
Xiang Shaolong hardened his heart and decide to ignore all the consequences and save King Zhuangxiang’s life Otherwise, he will be guilt-ridden
At this veryhas fainted at the rear pavilion”
Xiao Pan’s countenance changed immediately
Xiang Shaolong’s limbs turned ice-cold He knows that he is too late and cannot change the wheels of fortune
Recalling the murderous look in Lu Buwei’s eyes, he realised that it was
He lost again But it was due to hi blinded by historical records
Eight Ixiang throughout the night Despite regaining consciousness, he has lost the ability to speak The Physicians concluded that he had a stroke
Only Xiang Shaolong can see the pain and hatred in his eyes
With his pulse becoed to su to claim his soul
When Lu Buwei caer and his lips shook, being unable to say what is on his mind
Zhu Ji was crying her eyes out Thanks to a palace
Lady Xiuli and Prince Cheng Chongqiao cried hard as well Lady Xiuli even fainted and was carried out
Xiao Pan stood at the bedside and held tightly to King Zhuangxiang’s hands Coly composed
Only Lu Buwei, Xiang Shaolong, Xu Xian, Lu Gong, Cai Ze, Du Bi and other important officials are allowed to enter his bedroo for the latest news outside the palace
King Zhuangxiang suddenly pulled Xiao Pan’s hands away and pointed to Xiang Shaolong with much effort
Lu Buwei’s eyes shone with anger and faced Xiang Shaolong, exclai: “Your Majesty wishes to see you!” He stood aside, leaving Xiao Pan alone by his bedside
Xiang Shaolong was filled with regret and hatred If he had thought of Lu Buwei’s plot to kill King Zhuangxiang, he will have exposed his scheme Ultimately, he cannot win fate and lost by one stance
He ca’s hand tightly
Straining hard, King Zhuangxiang focused his di out a er, pain and a plea for help
A would understand his xiang to consume the poison, it is possible that he poisoned him personally due to their close relations
Therefore, after regaining consciousness, King Zhuangxiang knew that it was Lu Buho poisoned him but is unable to say so because the poison has caused him to become dumb
Lu Buwei’s relative Mo Ao is truly a poisons expert None of the Imperial Physician could detect the presence of poison
Holding onto King Zhuangxiang’s tre could not stop his tears fro out
Even Xiao Pan as expressionless all this while suddenly kneeled down and starting crying loudly
The palace guards andas well
Xiang Shaolong could not bear to see him suffer in silence He leaned forward and whispered so softly that only Xiao Pan can hear him: “Rest assured Your Majesty I will kill Lu Buwei and avenge you”
Xiao Pan was terribly shaken but maintained his silence
King Zhuangxiang’s eyes flickered, revealing surprise, coratitude The look quickly subsided as he closed his eyes and his head leaned to one side, without any strength left He passed away like that
The bedroo Everyone fro officials kneeled all over the floor
In na of Qin
By the tiot hoht
Teng Yi, Jing Jun and himself are not in their best mood
Without King Zhuangxiang, Lu Buwei is unstoppable Before Xiao Pan is twenty one and officially crowned King, Lu Buwei the Left Premier will dominate Qin politics
Zhu Ji will become another influential person
Unfortunately for her, she does not have her own organization and can only rely on Lu Buwei
Supporting each other mutually, they form a powerful alliance
To a certain degree, Xiang Shaolong knew that he is the reason Lu Buwei poisoned King Zhuangxiang
As Li Si has observed, King Zhuangxiang and Lu Buwei’s views are wei’s betrayal Lu Buwei is worried that Xiang Shaolong will report his plot to King Zhuangxiang and he will lose all his wealth, power, titles andfor his own son to ascend the throne as soon as possible, he took the risk and carried out the poisoning
Half of the Qin court is on his side
