Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 212 Heartless Little Rascal

The women in the carriage saw everything.

Especially Fei Yan, even though her heart is now completely devoted to Ying Jing, her intelligence has not disappeared.

"My husband went so far as to use the power of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations to reward this person; it seems there's more to it than meets the eye?"

Ying Jing nodded calmly: "He has been by my side for quite some years and knows a lot of things."

Although he didn't finish speaking, all the women understood what he meant.

That is both a blessing and a constraint.

Even without knowing the full story, the women could guess about 70-80% of it.

Nu Ying suggested, "It's a waste for my husband to use the power of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations for such a person. Why not have the Moon Goddess give him a sealing spell?"

Both the Moon Goddess and the Scarlet Smoke nodded gently: "Husband, you even injured your body last time you used that kind of power. You must not do it so easily. Although the Yin-Yang School's magic is not as magical as yours, it can still achieve a similar effect."

These words resonated with the women, and Nongyu, Honglian, and Yanlingji all agreed.

However, the next moment, Nüying's temperament suddenly changed, and Ehuang appeared: "Just kill her directly, why bother with all this trouble?"

You guys are too extreme!

Ying Jing's lips moved slightly, but in the end he did not speak.

Killing him directly wouldn't be out of the question, but he still preferred to make the most of what he had.

"By the way, I need to go to the Empress Dowager's palace first, you all..."

Ying Jing felt a headache coming on whenever he thought of Zhao Ji's hint.

I just got back, I haven't even stepped inside the house yet!

However, he had to go back to his residence first, and Zhao Ji might rush over before he could even exchange a few words with him.

There was nothing Zheng Ge could do about Zhao Ji, and Ying Jing could only try to appease her.

"I also need to go!"

Honglian spoke up almost without hesitation. She was feeling most insecure right now, and only by being by Yingjing's side could she feel at ease.

After all, I had already heard that there were several women in Lord Changxin's household, and even a daughter.

What should you do if a conflict occurs without Ying Jing by your side?

"This……"

Ying Jing hesitated slightly.

It's been so long since we last met, Zhao Ji must be very enthusiastic. It wouldn't be good if the children saw things they shouldn't see.

As if sensing Ying Jing's hesitation, Fei Yan immediately stepped forward and smiled gently.

"Since the Empress Dowager is unwell, it is probably inconvenient for my husband to bring people along. Let's go to my husband's residence first, so as not to cause him any trouble."

She gently took Honglian's fair hand and said, "Princess Honglian, please rest assured. I believe that only reasonable and beautiful women are valued by my husband. He will never give you a hard time."

Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at Ying Jing, but still said, "Don't worry, Sister Jingni and the others are all very easy to get along with, and Xiao Yan'er is very cute too!"

Honglian glanced at Ying Jing, and finally nodded hesitantly.

Nongyu and Madam Hu had no objections; she was rather easygoing and didn't want to cause Ying Jing any trouble.

"In that case, Feiyan, please take good care of her."

Feiyan is still quite reliable now, and she almost completely matches the image of Dongjun Yanfei in Ying Jing's memory.

Not only is she beautiful and generous, but she is also gentle and virtuous, thoughtful and considerate, and wholeheartedly cares for Ying Jing.

With her around, it seems that when the women in the carriage meet the women in the manor, there probably won't be any conflict.

This time, Fei Yan didn't answer. She just hugged Ying Jing tightly and buried her head in her heart.

……

Zhao Ji's temporary palace in Hanoi was actually not far from the residence of Lord Changxin.

The location of the mansion and palace was carefully considered when they were built.

However, Ying Jing dared not neglect this "willful" Empress Dowager who could even see through his true nature.

Of course, it's not really because they're afraid of anything.

Rather, it was because Zhao Ji had given him a lot of help before he gained power, and they also had a long-standing relationship.

To this day, Ying Jing still maintains a close relationship with Zhao Ji, purely out of affection and gratitude, and unrelated to any interests.

"Greetings, Lord Changxin."

The elite soldiers guarding the palace did not appear, and Ying Jing ignored the bows and kowtows of the palace maids along the way, heading straight for the inner palace where Zhao Ji resided.

However, when they arrived outside the inner palace, palace maids had already been waiting there for quite some time.

"Lord Changxin, the Empress Dowager has issued an oral decree instructing me to convey it."

The palace maid bowed respectfully, but her body trembled slightly.

Ying Jing raised an eyebrow, roughly knowing it wasn't something nice, but still said, "Just say it."

Immediately, the palace maid's body trembled even more violently.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty says..."

In the end, she seemed to give up the struggle.

"The Empress Dowager said that you heartless little rascal have ruined so many women again. She has come to the back garden and is going to teach you a lesson."

The palace maid spoke with her eyes completely closed, delivering the entire sentence in one breath without pausing for a single word.

Ying Jing's lips twitched slightly.

Knowing this woman was always willful, she certainly wouldn't leave behind any kind words.

However, he was now somewhat glad that he had come to the palace first, otherwise no one knew what this woman might do.

With one step, Ying Jing was heading towards the back garden of the palace.

But then he seemed to remember something and said to the palace maid who had just breathed a sigh of relief, "You didn't send any message to the Empress Dowager today, understand?"

"understand!"

The palace maid nodded repeatedly, not daring to make the slightest extra movement.

The Empress Dowager usually treats her well, but who knows why she was sent to deliver such a treasonous message today?

Before this, she had even prepared to be silenced.

Now that I've escaped with my life, how could I not do my duty?

Ying Jing wouldn't hold a grudge against a palace maid who relayed the message. Besides, Zhao Ji wasn't stupid; a palace maid who could relay such a message must be her confidante and wouldn't gossip.

back yard.

The stream carved out by mechanical means certainly added a lot to the beauty of this place; the first thing Ying Jing heard was the incessant sound of the stream.

Just like the last time Ying Jing left Hanoi, Zhao Ji was in the pavilion, leaning on the railing, watching the babbling stream and occasionally feeding it, like a lazy cat.

"coming."

Hearing Ying Jing's footsteps, Zhao Ji did not turn around, but simply said something in a flat tone.

"Upon hearing that the Empress Dowager was unwell, Jing Shi was deeply worried and immediately came to visit her. I just wonder if the Empress Dowager's health has improved?"

Knowing this woman's temperament well, Ying Jing also knew how to answer.

Zhao Ji still didn't turn around, her tone languid: "My illness is missing one ingredient; I'm afraid it won't get better."

Ying Jing couldn't see any sign that Zhao Ji was ill, so he immediately used both hands to turn Zhao Ji, who was leaning against the railing, around.
