Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 254 Li Ji Begs for Mercy
"Nongyu?"

Xu Lin's brows furrowed slightly.

Then they had Yingge bring Nongyu in.

"I lost this round!"

Li Ji admitted defeat.

After speaking, she got dressed and left the study.

If Xu Lin hadn't used some underhanded tactics, she might not have lost!
Next time she plays against Xu Lin, she'll use some underhanded tactics!
After Li Ji walked away, Nong Yu slowly walked up to Xu Lin.

Then he bowed slightly.

"Nothing happened, right?"

Xu Lin asked.

"No."

"I am here today because I have recently felt that I am about to break through."

Nongyu shook her head, then said.

"Oh?"

Xu Lin's eyes lit up.

Then he began to instruct Nongyu.

……

Less than half an hour later.

Under Xu Lin's guidance, Nongyu successfully entered the Innate Realm.

Upon sensing the true energy within her dantian, Nongyu's eyebrows furrowed with joy, and she bowed deeply to Xu Linshen to express her gratitude.

"It doesn't have to be like this between you and me."

Xu Lin waved his hand.

Seeing that it was about to rain, he taught Nongyu a few more moves and then sent her home.

Although Nongyu is beautiful, she is still young. His goal today is Liji!

After Nongyu left, Xu Lin went to Liji's bedroom.

Li Ji was sitting reclining on a soft couch, reading Xu Lin's recently written "Journey to the West".

"Does it look good?"

Xu Lin asked.

The tall and slender Li Ji nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled and closed the wooden door and bamboo window.

"gentlemen."

"Could we wait until tonight?"

Li Ji discussed it with Xu Lin.

She was afraid of waking Yingge, who had just fallen asleep!
Why at night?

"Reading and discussing ideas are not mutually exclusive."

Xu Lin smiled indifferently.

He's already at the point where he has no choice but to act!

"But...but I'm afraid of waking up Yingge."

Li Ji whispered.

"Why don't you just keep quiet?"

Xu Lin said loudly.

Before Li Ji could reply, he climbed onto the soft couch.

Upon hearing this, Li Ji hesitated to speak.

She couldn't bring herself to speak, but how could she possibly hold back?

To avoid waking the parrot, Li Ji chose to read a book to distract herself.

At first, it worked really well.

She lay on her side on the soft couch, using the book "Journey to the West" to block the view between her and Xu Lin's faces.

In this way, Xu Lin couldn't see her face, and she couldn't see Xu Lin's face either.

……

After a cup of tea.

Xu Lin started to cause trouble.

The troops split into two groups, advancing by both land and water!
This made Li Ji frown deeply, and she couldn't concentrate on her book at all.

Just as Xu Lin was about to press his advantage, Li Wu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"gentlemen."

"Red Lotus requests an audience!"

Li Wu reported.

"red lotus?"

"Tell her to wait for me in the study."

Xu Lin frowned, then said.

Li Wu nodded and led Hong Lian to the study.

"gentlemen."

"Why don't you go see Honglian first?"

After Li Wu walked away, Li Ji blinked her bright eyes and discussed with Xu Lin.

"Not urgent."

Xu Lin refused immediately.

Then proceed in three directions simultaneously.

Just as Li Ji was about to break down, he quickly covered her mouth.

……

Half an hour later.

It started to drizzle.

Xu Lin left Li Ji's bedroom and went to the study.

"Sir, you must be very busy."

Following the sound, Honglian's beautiful eyes lit up when she saw Xu Lin, then she pouted.

Xu Lin has been back in Xianyang for so long, but he hasn't written her a single letter. She even wonders if Xu Lin has forgotten about her!
Because Honglian is still young, she sometimes feels anxious and insecure!

The main problem is that Xu Lin is surrounded by too many women, and they are all beauties!
"There are many people in Xianyang, so there are naturally many things to do."

“It’s different from before in Xinzheng.”

Xu Lin explained in a gentle voice.

Then he dismissed those around him and let Honglian sit on his lap.

Seeing this, Honglian hesitated for less than half a second before obediently walking towards Xu Lin.

Honglian wasn't truly angry with Xu Lin; if she were, she wouldn't have come to the Imperial Preceptor's residence!

How is your father doing lately?

Xu Lin gently stroked Honglian's back and asked, "Still the same?"

"Even finding a place to stay is difficult."

Honglian answered.

She still hasn't fully forgiven Han An!

"Sir, what have you been busy with lately?"

Red Lotus stood with her legs together, swinging her legs like a swing while asking questions.

"I've been busy with your ninth brother's affairs lately."

"Doesn't your ninth brother cough whenever he drinks?"

“I asked Nian Duan to prescribe some medicine for him.”

Xu Lindao.

"Nian Duan?"

"Is this the Immortal Physician of Mirror Lake that you mentioned before?"

Honglian asked, pursing her cherry lips.

"Correct."

Xu Lin nodded.

"Then will my ninth brother's illness be cured in a while?"

Honglian tilted her head and rested it on Xu Lin's left shoulder.

"kindness."

Xu Lin nodded.

Upon hearing this, Honglian's eyebrows lit up with joy.

Then she tied her hair into a high ponytail and tried to thank Xu Lin, but Xu Lin refused.

"Another day."

Xu Lindao.

Honglian is still young, and he is currently in sage mode!
"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day!"

Honglian disagreed.

As soon as she finished speaking, she bit Xu Lin like a cat.

……

the other side.

The Han residence is located on the outskirts of Xianyang.

Han An only learned now that King Ying Zheng of Qin had promoted Han Fei to Minister of Justice and Zhang Liang to Consultant.

"How did Lao Jiu and Zifang perform in Xianyang?"

Han An struggled to sit up and asked.

His condition did not improve after he arrived in Xianyang.

I consulted many doctors, and they all came to the same conclusion: my body had been ruined by alcohol and sex, and I could only rest and recover!

"It's okay."

The eunuch Huang Rang answered.

Then he poured Han An a bottle of boiled water.

Although Han An was no longer the King of Han, the wine vessel and soft couch he used were still of good quality.

"If I had previously given important positions to the Ninth Prince and Zifang."

"Maybe……"

Han An was filled with regret.

Although he has no worries about food and clothing now and is waited on by others, he will definitely be nailed to the pillar of historical shame!
Thinking of this, Han An was extremely depressed and almost vomited blood.

Where is Honglian?

After more than ten breaths, Han An asked.

"This servant will go and find it."

Huang Rang said respectfully.

……

After half a cup of tea.

The eunuch Huang Rang bowed and approached Han An.

"What about people?"

Han An saw that Huang Rang had returned alone and asked.

"Princess Honglian isn't home; she must have gone out to buy rouge and face powder."

Huang Rang said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Han An opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.

He heard that Honglian has been getting close to Xu Lin lately, but he doesn't know if it's true or not.
Whether it's true or false, he's having trouble even finding a place to stay right now, so what can we do about it?

"Bring Lady Hu here."

After a moment of contemplation, Han Andao said.

"promise!"

Huang Rang immediately accepted the order.

Before long, he returned to Han An alone.

"Hu Meiren said she hasn't been feeling well lately."

Huang Rang lowered his head.

"It doesn't matter."

"Summon Mingzhu."

Han An waved his hand.

Although he can no longer engage in sexual relations, he can still see.

Huang Rang nodded and went to Mingzhu's bedroom.

Soon, he returned to Han An's bedroom.

"Madam Mingzhu said she was also feeling unwell."

Huang Rang coughed twice and reported.

Upon hearing this, Han An recalled the time when Mingzhu and Xu Lin stood very close together in Xinzheng.

This caused him to become extremely agitated and vomit a lot of blood.

Upon seeing this, Huang Rang quickly stepped forward.

After he stopped vomiting blood, Han An looked weakly towards Mingzhu's bedroom.

It is said that Xu Lin has been promoted to the position of Grand Preceptor, second only to the emperor. He is no longer the King of Han. Who would dare to oppose Xu Lin?
Thinking of this, Han An felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

As much pain Han An was in at that moment, the young girl Hong Lian was just as happy.

"My father's current state is entirely his own fault!"

"If he had given Ninth Brother a more important position earlier, would Xiao Liangzi be where he is today?"

The naturally beautiful Honglian knelt before the bed, eating as she spoke.
