"stop!"

With an angry shout, Queen Mother Zhao Ji arrived and rescued Lao Ai at the critical moment.

Lao Ai, who was lucky enough to save her life, was so frightened that she rushed to the former's side and cried: "Queen Mother, the Prime Minister wants to kill me!"

Zhao Ji frowned tightly, looked at Lu Buwei who was standing aside and said, "I wonder why Marquis Changxin offended you. How could Xiangbang be so ruthless and want to put people to death?"

Lu Buwei heard this and said: "Your Majesty was assassinated in South Korea a few days ago. Who else can assign Luo Sheng to perform the task besides the two of us?"

Hearing this, Lao Ai quickly defended: "Queen Mother, it's really not me. How could I dare to assassinate the king!"

Zhao Ji's eyes flickered slightly, and then she said: "Xiangbang, these are just your guesses. It would be too casual to directly execute a marquis based on this alone."

Lu Buwei said: "In the past few years, Lao Ai has done so many stupid things relying on the Queen Mother's favor. Even if this incident hadn't happened, it wouldn't be considered that he was wronged."

"Even if there is a problem with Lao Ai, I will handle it on my own, so I don't need to worry about it. I don't want to see what happened today a second time!"

Zhao Ji said coldly.

Seeing that the other party had such a tough attitude, Lu Buwei's expression darkened, but he also knew that he might not be able to kill Lao Ai today, so he could only snort coldly and leave with his men.

Seeing this situation, Lao Ai just breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he was about to say something, Zhao Ji slapped him and knocked him unconscious.

"Queen Mother..."

Zhao Ji's eyes glowed with cold light, and she asked in a cold voice: "Did you do the assassination?"

"It's really not true. How could I do that?"

Lao Ai said hurriedly.

Zhao Ji said: "Besides me and Xiangbang, you are the only one who can mobilize the net. Although Lu Buwei has power over the government, it will not be of any benefit to him if something happens to Zheng'er.

If it wasn’t you, it could be me!”

Lao Ai's mind whirled, and she quickly said: "Even if Lu Buwei doesn't really want to kill the king, he may not act this way. Maybe he just wants to take this opportunity to frame me and get rid of me.

Lu Buwei clearly knows that I am from the Queen Mother, and since he is like this, he is obviously here for you!"

Hearing these words, Zhao Ji's expression also changed. What the other party said was not impossible. However, over the years, the two of them had gradually developed some discord.

To suppress oneself by attacking Lao Ai is indeed like the other party's behavior.

"This old guy!"

He cursed secretly in his heart, then turned to look at the former, who still had no good expression, and said coldly: "Remember, everything you have is given by me.

If you really dare to harm Zheng'er, I won't be able to stop you if Xiangbang kills or cuts him into pieces!"

After the words fell, Zhao Ji also walked away. She knew very well that the reason why she could rise from a lowly dancer to the most expensive queen mother was all because of Ying Zheng.

If Ying Zheng is not the King of Qin, she is not the Queen Mother...

After he left, Lao Ai returned to the mansion with the support of his attendants and continued to enjoy his extravagance.

But at this time, he had no intention of doing this. After what happened just now, he couldn't calm down for a long time. His original look of fear gradually turned into anger and resentment, and he slammed the jasper wine glass in his hand to the ground.

With a "bang", the cup broke, which also shocked everyone else present. The dancers also suddenly stopped and looked at their master in bewilderment.

"You all get off here." Lao Ai glanced at the people in the room and shouted.

"promise!"

The dancing girl responded respectfully and then retreated.

Seeing this, the diners also guessed that something must have happened, and it was something very bad.

So one man boldly stepped forward, raised his hands and asked, "If you don't mind why the Marquis is angry, you might as well tell me. I am willing to do my best to relieve my anger and sorrow."

When the other people heard this, they also paid tribute one after another, and they started talking one by one.

"Yes, Lord Marquis. If you have anything, just say it and we will do our best."

"I am willing to devote myself wholeheartedly to the Marquis..."

"Master Hou, it's okay to say..."

At this time, Lao Ai looked at the people in front of her, but the many good voices sounded harsh to her ears. She couldn't help but roar: "I'll tell you all to get out!"

He knew very well what kind of people these people around him were. If he knew that Lu Buwei wanted to kill him, he would immediately fall to the other side like a grasshopper, or even sell himself out as soon as he left the house.

Seeing this scene, the dozen or so diners were also shocked. Looking at Lao Ai, whose eyes were already red, they felt uneasy. They quickly saluted and left the place, for fear of offending each other.

Looking at the hall that suddenly became empty and silent, Lao Ai seemed to have been evacuated from her body. She swayed for a moment and then fell down on the couch.

After a few breaths, he calmed down a bit, stood up again, and said through gritted teeth: "Good on you, Lu Buwei!"

If the Queen Mother hadn't arrived in time tonight, I'm afraid he wouldn't even know how he died.

It was obvious that Lu Buwei had murderous intentions. If he continued like this, the famous Chang Xinhou might be dead in a few days.

"No, I can't wait to die like this. I haven't enjoyed enough money and status yet, how can I just die like this!"

Lao Ai's breathing became heavier, her lips were bitten, and she looked hysterical, like a prisoner in a desperate situation.

The attendant on the side cautiously came forward and said: "Master Marquis, you don't have to worry too much. After all, the Queen Mother is on your side. As long as she is with you, you will always be the Changxinhou of Great Qin!"

When Lao Ai heard this, she didn't take it seriously: "This time her old lover wants to deal with me, and her son is also involved. It's hard to say which side he will take!

Moreover, the Queen Mother only supervises the country on her behalf. Now that the King has reached adulthood, how much power will the Queen Mother still have in her hands after she takes charge?"

As he spoke, a look of fear and uneasiness appeared in his eyes.

In the past few years, because of Zhao Ji's favor, he has been able to get everything he needs, but he has ignored the real danger. Now it seems that he is standing on the edge of a cliff, and if he makes one wrong move, he will be doomed.

If you want to save your life and keep your glory and wealth, you can't sit still and wait for death, you must take action.

What happened tonight also made him understand that no one can be trusted, and power must be in his own hands. The people who are blocking him from gaining power are Lu Buwei and the King of Qin who is about to take charge!
