Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 126 Xu Lin Begins to Counterattack

"I am the mother of the nation, why should I be afraid?"

Zhao Ji placed her hands on her waist.

"Because the late king has been dead for many years."

"If the Empress Dowager were to have my child, how would the King conduct himself?"

"How should I get along with the king?"

Xu Lin asked with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, the increasingly plump Zhao Ji frowned and fell into deep thought.

She was Ying Zheng's biological mother, so she could be willful, but Xu Lin couldn't.

If this implicates Xu Lin, it is not her wish.

“Sir, you are just as busy as Zheng’er. I originally wanted to have a child to keep me company.”

"But now that I think about it carefully, you're right, sir."

"If I were to have your child, how would you and Zheng'er get along?"

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Ji said with a serious expression.

She is not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong, especially after becoming 'best friends' with Xu Lin.

Xu Lin's actions not only subtly influenced Ying Zheng, but also subtly influenced Zhao Ji!
How do I use this?

Zhao Ji then asked.

She wants to try out Okamoto right now.

"Forehead……"

"It's not urgent."

"There is ample time."

"I'll tell you how to use it another day."

Xu Lindao.

It was getting late, and Zhao Ji should leave.

Why did Zhao Ji, as the Empress Dowager, stay in his residence all the time?

"it is good."

Zhao Ji was reluctant to leave when she saw that Xu Lin wanted her to go.

After saying that, she deliberately helped 'Little Xu Lin' to his feet.

……

the other side.

Sinzheng, South Korea.

Li Wu bought a mansion in the northern suburbs.

The price of a residence in Xinzheng is more than half that of one in Xianyang.

After settling in, Li Wu knelt before the table and wrote a letter to Xu Lin.

……

Five days later.

Xianyang, Xu Mansion.

Xu Lin was resting with his head on Yan Lingji's jade legs when he received Li Wu's letter.

Upon hearing the sound, Yan Lingji immediately helped Xu Lin up and covered his fair, jade-like legs with her skirt.

Then he coughed lightly twice and took a big gulp of herbal tea.

"Where are you going?"

Seeing that Yan Lingji was about to leave, Xu Lin asked.

After he finished speaking, he patted the soft couch, signaling Yan Lingji to sit back down; he hadn't had enough of resting on it yet!

Yan Lingji was naturally unwilling, but what could she do when she owed Xu Lin a favor?

After Yan Lingji returned, Xu Lin used his inner strength to retrieve Li Wu's letter from afar.

Then he handed it to Yan Lingji and asked her to read the contents of the letter to him.

Standing at the door, Li Ji saw Xu Lin resting his head on Yan Ling Ji's lap, looking quite content, and hesitated to speak.

Xu Lin is getting worse and worse!
"Li Wuxin said that she had bought a house in the northern suburbs of Xinzheng, and the price was not expensive."

Yan Lingji flicked her hair and said seriously.

"and then?"

Xu Lin nodded.

"She said that Zi Nu opened a brothel in Xinzheng called Zi Lan Xuan."

"Although Zilan Pavilion is a place of pleasure, not all the girls sell their bodies, and it seems that Zilan Pavilion is more than just a place of pleasure."

Yan Lingji's jade legs were tightly pressed together.

Xu Lin nodded, letting Yan Lingji continue.

"She said that Han Fei is currently forming an organization called Quicksand."

"It seems they intend to confront Ji Wuye, the Great General of Han, and Bai Yifei, the Blood-Clad Marquis, among others."

"She felt that the internal strife in South Korea at this time was a good thing for both Da Qin and Mr. Qin."

Yan Lingji said.

"well said!"

Xu Lin said loudly.

Then he suddenly stood up, knelt on Yan Lingji's lap, and wrote a letter to Li Wu, instructing her to continue to keep an eye on Zi Nu and Han Fei, and to report any new developments immediately!
……

Three days later.

Xianyang, Qin Palace.

The sun was high in the sky, and there wasn't a breath of wind.

Chunyu Yue was earnestly teaching Fusu to read. "Teacher."

Why is enfeoffment better than prefectures and counties?

Fusu, who was not yet five years old, blinked his big eyes and asked.

There was an ice chest in front of him, filled with ice, so he didn't feel hot.

"The Shang and Zhou dynasties ruled for more than a thousand years, enfeoffing their sons and meritorious officials as their right-hand men."

"If, after unifying the country, the prefecture-county system is fully implemented, and events such as Tian Chang and the Six Ministers seizing power and usurping the throne occur, what should be done?"

"therefore……"

Chunyu Yue explained.

After speaking, he used the handkerchief he always carried to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing that Chunyu Yue's handkerchief was soaked, Fusu took out a piece of ice from the ice chest, put it in a bowl, poured some water into the bowl, and handed it to Chunyu Yue.

"Thank you, sir!"

Chunyu Yue immediately caught the bowl, tilted his head back, and began to slurp it down.

The palace maid "Maizi" who was guarding outside the palace heard Chunyu Yue telling Fusu that enfeoffment was better than prefectures and counties. She frowned and then left under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Mai Zi came from a humble background and had no surname. His given name was bestowed by Zhao Ji, who had not yet moved to Ganquan Palace at that time.

Several days ago, Mai Zi was turned by Lao Ren, the Shadow Guard.

Before long, Mai Zi met Lao Ren.

Upon meeting Lao Ren, Mai Zi truthfully relayed what Chunyu Yue had just said to Lao Ren.

"Is there such a thing?"

Old Ren was shocked after hearing this and told Mai Zi to go back and keep an eye on Chunyu Yue.

After Mai Zi walked away, Lao Ren wrote down what Mai Zi had just said.

Then he rode his horse to the Xu residence.

This is a very important matter, and he must tell Xu Lin immediately!

Fusu is the eldest son and will most likely be made crown prince. Fusu is so young, yet Chunyu Yue is advising him that it is better to grant him a fiefdom than a county. What is that scoundrel Chunyu Yue planning to do?
Before long, Old Ren arrived at the Xu residence.

Boom boom boom!
Old Ren dismounted and knocked on the door.

"Old Ren?"

"The gentleman is not home."

Jingni looked in the direction of the sound and, upon seeing Old Ren, spoke up.

"The gentleman has gone to Ganquan Palace and it is estimated that he will not be back for some time."

"What's the matter with you?"

"If it's not urgent, you can tell me first."

Jingni suggested.

"Forehead……"

"It's nothing serious, so I won't tell you, Madam!"

Old Ren said with his head down.

He kept his head down the whole time after hearing Jingni's voice.

He knew very well what he could and couldn't watch!
He left before Jingni could reply.

……

at the same time.

Xianyang, Ganquan Palace.

"I do not like this."

Zhao Ji lay on her side on the phoenix couch, commenting on Okamoto.

"Life is full of disappointments, eight or nine out of ten things are not as we wish."

"How can everything possibly go as planned?"

Xu Lin comforted.

"Is there any other way to avoid getting pregnant besides this?"

Zhao Ji draped herself in a red veil and placed her hand on Xu Lin's chest.

After she finished speaking, she began to draw circles on Xu Lin's chest, as if trying to encircle Xu Lin's heart.

"should have."

"I'll ask Nianduan when I get back."

Xu Lin answered while thinking.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji's eyebrows lifted in delight, and she pursed her red lips.

She's not full yet!

"Queen Mother."

As the saying goes, a steady stream flows on.

Xu Lin advised.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji, who had been leaning down, had a look of resentment in her phoenix eyes. After a long while, she reluctantly let go.

Then Xu Lin was driven away.

As soon as Xu Lin left Ganquan Palace, he was stopped by Lao Ren.

Upon learning that Chunyu Yue's appointment to teach Fusu County was not as good as being granted a fief, Xu Lin frowned deeply.

He then left Lao Ren to continue monitoring while he returned to Ganquan Palace.

"Why are you back so soon, sir?"

"Regret it?"

Zhao Ji looked in the direction of the voice and, upon seeing Xu Lin, smiled with her phoenix eyes and teased him.
