“Meng Wu, Dun Ruo, how is the investigation going? Who took my beloved concubine?”
“Your Majesty, the thieves may be connected to Jing Ke. They split into two groups. If Jing Ke’s assassination of Your Majesty succeeds, they will cause a riot in the palace to cover Jing Ke’s escape.
If Jing Ke fails, they will quietly flee.
I never imagined they would be bold enough to kidnap the Empress. They had already escaped the palace by the time I discovered it.
I immediately gave chase, but unfortunately…
The leader’s silhouette was familiar. I suspect it’s Yan Dan, the Crown Prince of Yan.”
Bang!
The loud sound made Meng Wu and Dun Ruo tremble.
“How dare they! Haha, Meng Wu, send messages to Wang Jian and Wei Liao. Abandon the attack on Zhao, and with the entire army, intimidate Yan. Three cities were not enough before, this time I want ten, and I want Yan Dan to be held hostage in Qin. Otherwise, there is no need for Yan to exist.”
“Your Majesty, why not directly kill Yan Dan to avenge the Empress?”
“I have my own plans. Do as I said before!”
“Yes!”
“Also, mobilize all the Black Ice Platform. Find out who are the Mohists hiding in Xianyang City. Jing Ke is a Mohist. Since he dared to collaborate with Yan to assassinate me, I must make them pay the price.”
“Yes!”
“Go!”
“This subject will retire!” X2
“Gai Nie!”
“This subject is here.”
“Secretly investigate the palace. I don't believe that Yan Dan coincidentally encountered my beloved concubine. Keep the information confidential.” A cold glint flashed in Ying Zheng’s eyes. Whoever almost killed Chen’er, no matter who it was, would die!
“Yes!”
Gai Nie left.
Having dealt with everything, Ying Zheng instructed his attendants to summon the Imperial Physician and accompany him to treat Xia Shi.
Our protagonist has experienced so much today.
He’s probably the most unfortunate time traveler. He almost died before birth, and even his birth was a struggle.
Thankfully, he received his mother’s willpower protection.
With the Holy Son aura’s blessing, he at least doesn't have to worry about safety.
The only issue is that he still doesn’t know how to use the sky-high comprehension buff. He’ll figure it out when he’s older.
After that, his cheap father came to check on his mother’s health.
He left in a hurry afterwards.
Zhao Chen knows that this is a period of rapid development for Qin, so his cheap father would be busy.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
Zhao Chen grew up day by day.
Except for some initial miraculous abilities, being able to speak at three months old and walk at five months old.
Zhao Chen is no different from normal children. He’s not as extraordinary as Dong Huang Tai Yi and the others said.
There’s no sign of a sage descending or a child of destiny.
He’s even extremely mischievous.
Ever since Zhao Chen learned to walk, Bei Ming Zi, Gui Gu Zi, and Xun Zi have been teaching him.
Unfortunately, he always gets sleepy during lessons. He even drools, especially when studying Confucianism. He’s even gone to the extent of skipping class.
After a month of fruitless teaching, Xun Zi was so frustrated that he went to Zhao Chen and resigned, returning to the Little Sage Village.
That’s not all, this little rascal loves to be held by Yan Fei and Yue Shen. His hands and feet are also very unruly.
He either teases Xiao Meng and Xiao Yi.
This has made Ying Zheng doubt whether Zhao Chen is truly a sage. He’s clearly just a little pervert.
He has achieved almost nothing in three years.
Ying Zheng is very troubled by this. He has repeatedly asked Bei Ming Zi and Gui Gu Zi if Zhao Chen is really a sage?
Why can’t he see it at all?
Even Bei Ming Zi and Gui Gu Zi have begun to doubt.
This is naturally Zhao Chen’s intention. He has been pretending for three years. He can’t show his true capabilities yet.
Today is Zhao Chen’s third birthday.
“Son, you are three years old now. It’s time for you to study and practice martial arts. Don’t be so naughty anymore.”
“Mother, I know. I’ve been trying to study. But I can’t even hold a bamboo slip. How can I learn? And those characters are too difficult to understand. I get sleepy whenever I see them!”
Looking at Zhao Chen’s innocent face, Xia Shi shook her head helplessly.
“Everyone in Qin has gone through this. If you don’t study hard now, what will you do later? You are a Qin prince. Mother doesn’t expect you to achieve great things, but you can’t become a spoiled brat.
Also, you…”
Before Xia Shi could continue, Zhao Chen interrupted her, looking helpless. “Oh, Mother, I know. Don’t say anymore. I promise I’ll study hard from now on, okay?
But, I need to make some reforms first.”
“Reforms? What reforms?”
“You’ll find out soon enough, Mother. If they succeed, our Qin will be brimming with talent, and Father won’t be so tired.”
“You just like to talk big. How many times have you said things like this in the past three years? Mother hasn’t seen any of them come true.
Instead, you play very well with Xiao Meng, Xiao Yi, Yan Fei, and Yue Shen. There are rumors about you outside!!”
“Ahem, Mother, I’m full. I’m going.”
Without another word, Zhao Chen slipped away.
He knows what his mother will say next without even thinking. Isn’t it that there are rumors about him being a womanizer?
How can that be being a womanizer?
Confucius said, “Food and sex are human desires.”
Besides, Xiao Meng and Xiao Yi are two goddesses from his previous life. How can he not start early?
And Yan Fei and Yue Shen are even better.
He is grateful to his cheap father for this.
However, it’s been three years since he came to this world, and it’s time to do something.
The reason why Zhao Chen acted this way for the past three years is partly to hide and partly to wait and see if a system will descend. This is a must-have for any time traveler!
But there has been no movement in three years. This makes Zhao Chen feel helpless.
Luckily, he still has the sky-high comprehension buff given to him by his willpower mother.
Leaving the palace, Zhao Chen did not disturb the women.
“Someone.”
“This subject greets the young lord.”
“Where is my teacher now?”
“Bei Ming Zi Master has returned to Tian Zong for some reason, and Gui Gu Zi Master is currently discussing matters of state with His Majesty.”
“Oh, then I’ll go see them. I have some matters to discuss with Father.”
“Yes!”
Under the guard’s escort, they arrived at Xing Le Palace.
“This son greets Father, greets Teacher.”
“You little rascal, today is your birthday. Shouldn’t you be spending it with your mother? What brings you to me?”
“Ahem! This son has something for Teacher.”
“Oh, young lord, are you looking for this old man? Have you finally decided to study hard?”
Zhao Chen felt a little embarrassed in the face of Gui Gu Zi’s playful words.
He has made this master, who has lived for over a hundred years, angry countless times in the past two years. It’s already an achievement in itself to be able to make someone like him angry.
“Teacher is joking. I’m here for something that can change Qin, something that can change how everyone in the world learns to read. Naturally, Teacher needs to refine it, and Father needs to promote it before it can be popularized in Qin.”
“Oh, you don’t even know a few big characters, how can you have anything good?”
Ying Zheng laughed.
“Ahem, Father, you’re underestimating me. Take a look at this!”
Zhao Chen took out a bamboo slip and handed it to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took it and opened it.
ａｏｅ……………………
He thought it was something good, but after reading a few lines, Ying Zheng’s face turned black. “You little rascal, what kind of nonsense is this? You’ve ruined this bamboo slip.”
“Your Majesty, may this subject take a look!”
“Take it.”
Gui Gu Zi took the bamboo slip and finished reading it, but he was also a little confused. He didn’t understand it either, but it felt very powerful.
However, this still needs to be explained by the young lord.
