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

Chapter 295 Deja Vu

into the night.

The entire city of Daliang was shrouded in darkness, devoid of both starlight and moonlight.

Thick, dark clouds obscured the entire sky.

In the ancient Wei Palace, only a few palaces still had bronze lamps burning dimly.

Sudden.

"Go away!"

"No, it's gone!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

The screams of the palace maids and eunuchs echoed throughout the palace.

The fire raged fiercely and burned very quickly.

The dim night sky was now illuminated by a fiery red light.

In the sleeping palace.

"what happened?"

The King of Wei was awakened by the noise.

"Your Majesty, what has happened?"

The favored concubine beside him still looked sleepy.

"My beloved concubine, you continue to sleep. I will go and see what's wrong."

King Wei frowned; he had a feeling that tonight's fire was not as simple as a regular flood.

……

"Could it really just be a case of palace servants being negligent and causing a fire?"

This sudden fire seems to have truly been an accident.

There was no further disturbance, and the fire was quickly extinguished.

However, King Wei remained suspicious and interrogated almost all the palace staff involved.

However, he found nothing unusual and could only put the matter aside for the time being.

"Beloved concubine?"

When King Wei returned to his bedchamber, he finally understood the source of the unease he had felt earlier that day.

Inside the bedchamber, all the palace servants, including his favorite concubine and the skilled guards, were unconscious.

However, all the items and decorations in the bedroom were overturned on the floor, leaving the scene in a mess.

"I have fallen into a trap!"

The King of Wei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Since Wu Qi established the Wei Wuzu (Wei Warriors) in ancient times, the armored warriors have been loyal to the royal family, so there must have been many skilled warriors in the Wei royal palace.

However, the most skilled warriors all served by King Wei's side, protecting his safety.

Unexpectedly, in this brief moment, the King of Wei's palace was invaded by thieves.

"Your Majesty, they are all unconscious, but there are no casualties!"

The expert guards protecting the King of Wei had already proactively checked the palace servants on the ground.

"Not a single person was harmed, yet my palace has been ransacked like this!"

The King of Wei felt a growing sense of foreboding and immediately rushed to the soft couch.

Ignoring his still unconscious concubine, the King of Wei pushed her aside, lifted the soft couch, and found nothing underneath.

"The tiger tally... is lost!"

The King of Wei's face suddenly darkened.

"It seems there are quite a few traitors within the palace!"

"Immediately seal off the palace and order a thorough search. Any unusual activity must be reported!"

……

The palace was flooded and the tiger tally was stolen. King Wei was furious and sealed off the palace.

This is a perfectly normal thing.

However, the outcome of this matter was somewhat unexpected.

"This is what you found, the strange object?"

Looking at the dozen or so portraits of Lord Longyang, and even clay figurines, King Wei fell into deep thought.

I couldn't find the Tiger Talisman, but I found these instead?

“Lord Longyang…is indeed handsome; no wonder my father dotes on him so much.”

Thinking of Lord Longyang's unparalleled charm, King Wei couldn't help but sigh softly.

How could a man be more beautiful than his wife?

Or perhaps we should follow our father's example and pull some strings? Lord Longyang would probably agree, wouldn't he?

only……

Tiger tally...favored concubine...Lord Longyang?

King Wei suddenly felt that tonight's events seemed somewhat familiar.
