Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 201 Hu Meiren and Xu Lin Behind the Screen
"Who do you think should be the next target?"

Xu Lin asked back with a smile.

"The man in the straw raincoat is elusive, and I still don't know what he looks like."

Honglian said this as she thought about it.

Xu Lin nodded, letting Honglian continue.

"Trendy Fairy, you can tell from this name that this woman has a good figure."

"Sir, are you willing to kill him?"

Honglian teased.

At this time, she did not know that Lady Mingzhu was the Tide Demon, one of the Four Fiends of the Night.

“There are many ways to deal with an enemy, and killing is just one of them.”

"We can also turn them to defection."

Xu Lindao.

Upon hearing this, Honglian let out a soft hum, then hesitated to speak.

She knew Xu Lin would say that!

"Bai Yifei holds considerable military power. If we exclude Bai Yifei, then we can only target Bai Niao."

"Sir, do you know anything about birds?"

After a few breaths, Honglian asked.

Xu Lin nodded.

"Sir, is Bai Niao like Bai Yifei, not loyal to that scoundrel Ji Wuye?"

“I heard from Xi Jun that Mo Ya, the leader of the Hundred Birds, and others have a lot of dissatisfaction with Ji Wuye.”

Honglian blinked her bright eyes and asked.

"It is possible to try to win over Mo Ya and the others."

Xu Lindao.

Then he entrusted the investigation of Mo Ya to Yan Ling Ji.

After chatting for a while, Honglian left the Xu residence.

……

at the same time.

Xinzheng, Palace of King Han.

The heavily pregnant King An was sitting at his desk, coughing as he read memorials.

The cession of Nanyang has left him depressed lately, and he has gained quite a bit of weight.

He did not want to become the ruler of a fallen kingdom, but it seemed that this was inevitable!

Many people lose their appetite when they are depressed, but King Han An always turns his depression into appetite and eats heartily.

"Will I truly become the ruler who brings about the downfall of my kingdom?"

Looking at the mountain of memorials, King Han An could not hide his exhaustion.

He disliked reviewing memorials, but now that Korea was in danger of national subjugation, he could no longer indulge in wine and women as he had before.

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but cough violently a few times.

Hu Meiren, who happened to be passing by, heard the sound and was overjoyed. She then winked at her trusted confidante Zhi En behind her.

After Zhi En walked away, Hu Meiren calmly entered the study.

"Your Majesty, why are you still reviewing memorials?"

Hu Meiren asked, feigning concern.

"Nanyang has already fallen. If I continue as before, the next one will be Xinzheng."

Han Wang An said with a serious expression.

At this moment, he has no interest in women.

He was not only lustful, but also fame-hungry; he did not want to become a ruler who would bring about the downfall of his country and be infamous for eternity!

"Go back."

"I've been quite busy lately."

Han Wang An said without looking up.

"it is good."

"I will return shortly."

Hu Meiren readily agreed.

After saying that, she sat down behind the screen.

The reason she didn't leave was because she sent Zhi'en to find Xu Lin.

Is King Han An feeling depressed?
She wanted to make King Han An even more frustrated!
When King Han An saw that Consort Hu had not left, but had instead sat behind the screen, he hesitated to speak.

He's in a bad mood right now, so let Hu Meiren stay here if she wants.

……

the other side

Zhi En arrived at the Xu residence and met Xu Lin.

"Does your lord command me to enter the palace now?"

Xu Lin frowned.

"Correct."

Zhi En nodded.

"Has your lord said anything?"

Xu Lin asked.

"It is related to revenge against the King of Han."

Repay kindness with gratitude.

Xu Lin nodded and went to the Han King's Palace with Zhi En.

To avoid being recognized, Ji-eun gave Heo-rim a makeover, making him look like a seasoned healer.

……

After a stick of incense.

Xu Lin arrived at the Hundred Fragrances Hall.

Upon learning of this, Consort Hu immediately dismissed the maids from her study.

Then he slowly pushed open the bamboo window.

……

After a cup of tea.

Xu Lin slipped into the study with the wind. He was so fast that he wasn't detected by the guards.

Upon seeing Xu Lin, Hu Meiren's phoenix eyes lit up, and she took two steps back.

"Isn't the beauty afraid of being discovered?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile when he saw this.

He used his internal energy to conceal his voice, so King Han An couldn't hear it.

"Not afraid."

Hu Meiren shook her head.

Her voice was so soft that only Xu Lin could hear it.

Before Xu Lin could reply, she took a half step back.

Upon seeing this, Xu Lin readily agreed.

Hu Meiren wasn't afraid, and he was even less afraid!
It was initially extremely narrow, making it difficult for people to pass through...

"kindness?"

Hu Meiren immediately covered her mouth.

Then, with her eyebrows furrowed, she poked her head out.

"What time does Your Majesty intend to finish reviewing memorials tonight?"

Hu Meiren asked, feigning gentleness.

Her smile was forced, but because they were far apart and King Han was exhausted, he did not notice anything amiss.

"It'll probably be past midnight."

Han Wang An looked up at Consort Hu and replied.

He was now suffering from backaches and general discomfort, but in order to avoid becoming a ruler who would bring about the downfall of his country, he could only endure the discomfort and continue reviewing memorials.

Hu Meiren nodded slightly, then deliberately placed the hem of her skirt over her slender waist, which resembled an arched bridge.

"Does the gentleman like it?"

Hu Meiren turned to look at Xu Lin and asked in a low voice.

"What do you say?"

Xu Lin asked back with a smile.

Although the Han King's Palace was not as luxurious as the Ganquan Palace of the Qin Kingdom, it had its own unique charm.

"As long as sir likes it."

"That's what Hu Meiren said in a seductive voice."

After she finished speaking, she poked her head out again.

"Your Majesty."

"You don't need to be sad."

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war; no country can win all the time."

"So what if Nanyang was ceded? We can take it back in a few years when we form an alliance to attack Qin!"

Hu Meiren comforted him, tossing her hair behind her ear.

"Take it back?"

Upon hearing this, King An of Han gave a self-deprecating laugh.

The Qin state has already gained the upper hand; how can it be reclaimed?
Thinking of this, King Han An, though feeling quite full, still picked up the gilded wine goblet and began to chug it down.

"Your Majesty."

"If...if we lose to the tyrannical Qin again, then...if I..."

Hu Meiren bit her lower lip tightly, feigning sadness.

Xu Lin's sudden counterattack made her clench her right hand tightly.

"South Korea will not lose again!"

Han Wang'an put on a stern face and said.

After faintly hearing the sound of water, Hu Meiren, to avoid being discovered by Han Wang'an, quickly picked up the kettle, poured some water into the bowl, and then put it to her lips.

Her wrists trembled incessantly, causing a considerable amount of water to spill out.

……

Half an hour later.

Blood stained the hem of her skirt.

Hu Meiren drank the cold tea in the bowl in one gulp and left the study.

After returning to the Hundred Fragrances Palace, Consort Hu dismissed all her attendants.

"Are you okay?"

Xu Lin darted to Hu Meiren's side like a wisp of smoke and asked gently.

"No problem."

Hu Meiren shook her head.

She looks much more mature and womanly now!
"gentlemen."

Do you have any weaknesses?

While helping Xu Lin wash, Hu Meiren asked curiously.

In her view, every human being has weaknesses.

"Maybe."

Xu Lin answered with a smile.

After saying this, he suddenly stood up and made Hu Meiren squat down.

"gentlemen."

How much longer can South Korea survive?

Hu Meiren asked calmly.

In her view, delay would only lead to unforeseen changes, and she hoped that South Korea would be destroyed quickly and that King Han An would die soon!

"At the latest, one year."

Xu Lin smiled indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Hu Meiren's phoenix eyes sparkled, and she raised her fair wrist.

Instead of placing her fair wrist on Xu Lin's shoulder or neck, she put her hand on Xu Lin's chest.

"Do you still enjoy playing chess lately, sir?"

Hu Meiren slowly stood up and asked with a charming smile.
