Chapter 13 is worse than I imagined: Fusu committed suicide?! Who did it?!
For the first time, Ying Zheng's usually calm face showed undisguised anger.
Even when Prince Fusu was arrogant and rebellious, directly criticizing him for burning books and burying scholars alive, he didn't kill him out of anger. Yet he was tricked into dying by a false imperial edict?!
Throughout his life, he was ruthless and domineering, decisive in killing, and swept across six kingdoms to unify the world. Never before had he lost his composure like this and been unable to control his facial expressions!
Fusu was his eldest son, the crown prince he had nurtured with the utmost care, and the son he valued most in his life!
He is the only heir to the Qin Dynasty in his heart!
He could accept that the Qin Dynasty was facing crises and that the empire might be in danger! He could even foresee that the Qin Dynasty might not truly last for ten thousand generations!
But he absolutely could not accept that his eldest son, whom he had carefully nurtured and cultivated with all his might, would be forced to commit suicide by a false imperial edict and die unjustly!
"ah--!!!"
Ying Zheng seemed to have truly transformed into the tyrannical ancestral dragon, slowly raising his head and standing tall.
An immense and unparalleled imperial aura surged and churned, its chilling power soaring straight to the heavens, shaking the very fabric of the world to its core.
"What did you say?! Fusu committed suicide?! My eldest son! My Fusu! He was actually forced to his death by a false imperial edict?!"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! I refuse to believe it!"
His chest heaved violently, he trembled with rage, and a destructive aura surged from his body straight to the sky.
In an instant, the emperor's chilling killing intent swept through the entire main hall of Xianyang Palace.
The sight made everyone present feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their bodies turning cold and even their breathing becoming difficult.
Ying Zheng stared intently at Jiang Qing, his chest tight with unbearable pain and his blood churning, yet he still roared with all his might, pressing her for an answer.
Every word was filled with gnashing hatred and the devastation of losing a loved one:
"Who did this?! Who dares to forge my imperial edict?! Who dares to force my Fusu to his death?!"
Who dares to harm my eldest son! I will tear him to pieces! His entire family will be exterminated! May he never be reincarnated!
At this moment, Ying Zheng completely lost his mind!
The First Emperor's rage was enough to change the color of heaven and earth, and the air in the entire hall seemed to be ignited.
They were frozen again, and everyone was stunned by this overwhelming rage, falling silent in fear.
Upon hearing Jiang Qing's words, Fu Su, the person involved, froze completely, his entire body as if frozen in ice, unable to move.
His already pale face became even more bloodless, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.
His eyes were wide open, filled with extreme fear, disbelief, and a deep-seated despair.
He was well-versed in poetry and literature from a young age, upheld filial piety, and wholeheartedly followed his father's teachings, determined to be a benevolent ruler. He never imagined that his end would be so tragic!
Forced to death by his father's false imperial edict, he didn't even have time to resist and committed suicide with a grievance in his heart...
This was even more devastating and despairing for him than when Jiang Qing said he couldn't succeed to the throne!
Fusu swayed violently, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
He quickly reached out and grabbed the pillar beside him to steady himself.
His hands gripped the pillar tightly, his fingertips turning white, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, his voice shaking so badly he was barely audible, muttering to himself in disbelief:
"No...it's impossible...how could I commit suicide...I was the prince of Qin, I held military power at the time, how could I not resist..."
People can't even empathize with their future or past selves!
"That was a fake imperial edict... How could I believe it... How could I..."
His eyes were filled with confusion and despair. Jiang Qing's words were like a sharp knife, piercing through all his beliefs, leaving him instantly disoriented and his mind completely collapsed.
Upon hearing Jiang Qing's words, Prime Minister Li Si's expression changed drastically!
His originally solemn expression turned pale and then flushed in an instant, his face filled with extreme horror. He staggered back a step, almost losing his composure.
He was Fusu's grammar teacher and spent every day with Fusu, so he knew Fusu's character and talents very well.
He imparted all his knowledge to Fusu, having long regarded him as the monarch he would serve for the rest of his life.
Now I hear the devastating news that Fusu was forced to commit suicide and died unjustly.
He was immediately shaken, overwhelmed with shock, horror, and disbelief.
His lips trembled, and he wanted to speak in rebuttal, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing Ying Zheng's furious appearance and Jiang Qing's calm and composed expression, his doubts began to waver.
General Meng Tian was instantly enraged, his tiger eyes wide open, and a strong battlefield aura erupted from his body.
Although he could not carry a sword in the palace, he still suddenly made a gesture as if drawing his sword, and one could really see the killing intent of someone who had been through many battles, with a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He glared at Jiang Qing and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! This is utterly deceptive and misleading!"
As you said, the young master is kind and intelligent. He and I guard the Great Wall together, commanding 300,000 troops. With me by his side to assist him, who would dare to force the young master to his death?!
How could the young master surrender and commit suicide unjustly?! Your words are utterly absurd and outrageous!
Meng Tian was furious. He had a deep friendship with Fusu, and they were both teacher and friend.
She had always wholeheartedly assisted Fusu and refused to believe that the young master she was protecting would end up in such a tragic state.
Despite this, looking at Jiang Qing's calm and unwavering gaze, a sense of panic involuntarily rose in his heart, and his firm anger was gradually replaced by surprise and doubt.
The entire court was in complete uproar, no longer caring about the strict court etiquette. Shouts rose and fell, and chaos reigned.
Everyone was stunned and utterly shocked by the shocking revelation Jiang Qing made!
"Prince Fusu... was actually forced to commit suicide by a fake imperial edict?! How is that possible! He was His Majesty's crown prince!"
"Who dares to be so audacious as to forge an imperial edict and plot against the Crown Prince of Qin?! Young Master, you command a large army, why don't you resist?!"
"This is outrageous! What earth-shattering event occurred in the future Qin Dynasty that led to such a fate for the Crown Prince!"
The civil officials were pale-faced, whispering among themselves, their hearts filled with shock and fear.
The generals all wore expressions of anger, yet could not hide the horror in their hearts, and the entire hall was filled with clamor.
Everyone was stunned and disoriented by this cruel truth, and simply couldn't accept it.
Zhao Gao, kneeling in the corner, was now terrified, his whole body trembling like a leaf.
His teeth chattered uncontrollably, his forehead pressed tightly against the cold bluestone slab, and he didn't dare to even breathe.
The fear in his heart had long since become overwhelming, and Jiang Qing's words made him vaguely aware of it.
This shocking conspiracy that drove Fusu to his death is inextricably linked to him. Once the truth is revealed, he will be doomed!
Jiang Qing sat upright in the seat of honor, facing the shock and uproar of the entire hall, yet remained calm and composed, like an outsider detached from the situation.
Ignoring the surging anger and panic within the hall, he spoke calmly and slowly, each word clear and distinct in his reply to Ying Zheng:
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Everything I have said is true and will happen in the future. There is not a single falsehood in it."
