Pretending to Be Dead, I Hear Through the Urn as My Rebellious Son Slashes Zhao Gao in Court!

Ying Zheng takes a Tortoise-Breathing Pill and fakes his death, listening through an acoustic urn. He plans to make the most spineless Ninth Prince, Ying Che, his puppet regent and draw out the treacherous officials across the court.

In a secret chamber, the First Emperor presses himself beside a bronze speaking tube, waiting for Zhao Gao and the great clans to bare their fangs.

But what rings through the great hall is not the wailing plea of a rebellious son. It is a sword cry that tears through the heavens!

Ying Che draws the Son of Heaven's Sword, beheads Zhao Gao on the spot for all to see, smashes the imperial desk with a swing, and crushes Hu Hai's breastbone underfoot!

"As regent, I have only three things to do: kill, confiscate estates, and exterminate entire clans!"

In the secret chamber, the First Emperor is so frightened that the veins in his temples throb as he frantically claws at the wall.

"You little rebel! I told you to pretend to play along and fish for traitors, not to slaughter your way through Xianyang Palace!"

"Li Si, don't you dare provoke him. That rebel really will cut down the chancellor!"

"Wait... where did those three thousand fully armored Snowstorm Dragon Riders outside the palace gates come from?!"
