Royal Inn.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the Qin State asks to see you."

Xiao Chengyin narrowed his eyes, Shen Bozhong?

Shen Bozhong is much smarter than Shen Ning, and for the sake of safety, it's better not to see him.

"The prime minister said that he came to surrender to Cheng, and he had in his hand a copy of the edict of succession when the first emperor died."

Xiao Chengyin was stunned for a moment, and his face sank.

The reason why he was unwilling was because the first emperor of Qin called him to him before he died and said that he would pass the throne to him, but Liu Anning and Liu Zhensheng gave the throne to the crippled Xiao Junhe.

He was unwilling, the throne of the Qin State should have belonged to him.

Shen Bozhong, as one of the few powerful ministers who could be trusted by the first emperor, naturally had the opportunity to come into contact with the edict of the first emperor.

It seems that Shen Bozhong knows that in the edict of the first emperor, he is the heir to the throne.

"Let him in!" Xiao Chengyin spoke in a deep voice.

Shen Bozhong entered the door and respectfully bowed to Xiao Chengyin. "Lord Wang...... No, it's time to address you as Your Majesty. ”

Xiao Chengyin looked at Shen Bozhong vigilantly. "What does the prime minister mean?"

"Lord Wang, after Liu Zhensheng was eliminated, the minister has been pressing a secret in his heart, Ning Er is the daughter of the minister, she is married to Xiao Junhe, the minister can't influence it, so he pressed this secret in his heart, and the minister is guilty." Shen Bozhong knelt on the ground, looking guilty.

Xiao Chengyin narrowed his eyes and hurriedly helped Shen Bozhong. "Prime Minister, I don't know what I mean."

"During the reign of the first emperor, the Liu family controlled the court, and no one in the Qin State dared to be the enemy of the Liu family, and the ministers did not tell the truth in order to protect themselves...... In the edict of the first emperor, you are the legitimate heir to the throne. Shen Bozhong hurriedly spoke.

Xiao Chengyin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, he knew. "In the hands of the prime minister, is there an edict?"

As long as there is an edict, as long as Shen Bozhong, the prime minister of the Qin State, is willing to help him, then it will be easier for him to take the Qin State.

"The edict is in the hands of the ministers." Shen Bozhong nodded.

"The prime minister is really my nobleman!" Xiao Chengyin smiled and spoke. "Is the Prime Minister willing to help me ascend the throne? Combine the two countries of Qin and Chen into one and unify the great cause of the world? ”

Shen Bozhong's heart tightened, Xiao Chengyin's ambition is really not ordinary. "Your Majesty has a great cause in his heart! is the real Son of Heaven, that Xiao Junze has a disability, although he can walk, but he still has a hidden disease, for the face of Qin, Ning'er has been hiding for him, his right hand was seriously injured in the fight with Liu Zhensheng and couldn't lift a sword, let alone a pen, and even the government affairs of the court had to be written by Ning'er, how could such a person become the emperor of Qin. ”

Shen Bozhong sighed and deliberately spoke.

He seems to be counting Xiao Junhe's wrong, but in fact he is exploring the truth.

Xiao Chengyin was still excited, and he didn't hear anything in Shen Bozhong's words for the time being. "What the prime minister said is extremely true, this kind of person is not worthy of being the emperor, and this throne should have been mine."

"As long as Your Majesty promises, after you ascend the throne, you will be able to treat Ning'er well...... Be kind to my Shen family and be kind to ...... That prince Ah Yan, the minister will do his best to help you fight for the throne. "Shen Bozhong, this is a transaction name.

"Is the prime minister willing to give me the edict?" Xiao Chengyin asked.

Shen Bozhong looked embarrassed. "Your Majesty only needs to know that there is indeed an edict, otherwise the minister will not come to see you today, as for you...... Please forgive your majesty, now is not the time, the minister also guarantees the safety of the edict, if there is anyone around your majesty who is not subordinate......"

Shen Bozhong deliberately said this to let Xiao Chengyin know that it is impossible for me to give you the edict for the time being.

"What the prime minister said is very true, if I ascend the throne and become the emperor, Ning'er will still be my queen, and I will treat the prince well."

Xiao Chengyin secretly laughed at Shen Bozhong for being an old fox.

"In this case, if it is inconvenient for the ministers to stay, Your Majesty can stay in the Qin State for a few more days, and when the ministers of the court and the central government know that Xiao Junhe's return is hopeless, the ministers will take out the edict again, and the ministers of the court and the central government will be more convinced at this time."

Shen Bozhong deliberately delayed Xiao Chengyin's stay in the Qin State, in case Xiao Junhe was really in his hands.

Xiao Chengyin sent Shen Bozhong to him.

For Shen Bozhong's surrender, Xiao Chengyin is obviously very happy.

As long as Shen Bozhong can really hand over the edict, it will be nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it will take no effort to get it.

Hmph, Xiao Junhe is dead, he wants to see who else can stop him from getting the world of Qin.

Even if Xiao Junhe doesn't die, what can he do? He has already covered the mountains behind Lingyin Temple, as long as Xiao Junhe dares to come out, he will definitely die.

He is completely ready, and only owes the east wind!

I hope that Shen Bozhong and Shen Ning will not let him down.

……

Palace.

Shen Ning walked around the courtyard with an anxious face.

Why hasn't my father come back yet?

"Princess, the prime minister is here." The palace maid whispered.

Shen Ning nodded. "Hurry up and let my father in."

Shen Bozhong walked into the courtyard and retreated from everyone. "I have deliberately revealed that Xiao Junhe has an old disease in his right hand and can't write, you can find an opportunity to test Xiao Chengyin, if he uses this as a shirk, it means that Xiao Junhe is not in his hands."

Shen Ning was stunned for a moment. "It is worthy of being a father, and a daughter admires it."

Shen Bozhong shook his head. "Your Majesty, my father has not given up looking for it, don't worry, there will be news."

"In case Ah He is not in Xiao Chengyin's hands, then Xiao Chengyin will definitely lay a net in order to prevent it, I am worried now...... Worried about his safety. ”

Shen Ning couldn't sleep at night, always worried about Xiao Junhe's current situation.

"As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of Xiao Chengyin, that's good news." Shen Bozhong appeased Shen Ning.

"You're right...... I'd rather he was seriously injured and needed to take refuge in the mountains to recuperate......" Shen Ning nodded in a choked voice.

Night.

Shen Ning sat alone in front of the bronze mirror, dressed up, and prepared to meet Xiao Chengyin secretly.

She couldn't wait.

"Go and tell Xiao Chengyin, just say that I have thought carefully about his request, and let him come to see me in person." Shen Ning let Xiao Chengyin enter the palace.

"Yes!"

The palace maid went to deliver the message, and it didn't take long for Xiao Chengyin to come in person.

Even if Shen Ning didn't let people go to him, he would come to see Shen Ning in person.

"Ning'er, what did you think about what I said?" Xiao Chengyin stood outside the window, looked at Shen Ning and smiled.

Shen Ning should obviously freshen up and sleep, but she still has makeup on her face.

Obviously dressed up to see him.

The woman is the one who pleases herself, Xiao Chengyin already knows Shen Ning's answer.

"I want to see Xiao Junhe." Shen Ning still wants to see Xiao Junhe.

"Ning'er, this is a bit difficult for you, I said, I can only let you see a part of him...... Like fingers, or heads. Xiao Chengyin was still threatening Shen Ning.

"Then let him write me a letter with your own hand, and if I am sure that he is indeed in your possession, I will grant your request." Shen Ning looked at Xiao Chengyin with cold eyes.

Xiao Chengyin narrowed his eyes, remembering what Shen Bozhong had inadvertently revealed today, and suddenly smiled. "Ning'er, you're very unruly......"
