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

Chapter 124 Madam Hu is actually still...

The night was hazy, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and only a few stars twinkled. The entire city of Xinzheng was shrouded in silence.

Inside the residence of the Left Sima.

Liu Yi's body was placed in a coffin.

Madam Hu stood before the coffin, dressed only in an elegant blue-green dress, not in white.

Standing quietly before the coffin, Madam Hu showed no sorrow, her serene demeanor further highlighting her elegant temperament.

However, her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she were somewhat troubled.

Although she had no romantic feelings for Liu Yi, she had to admit that Liu Yi had indeed shielded her from a lot of trouble.

Now that Liu Yi is dead, leaving behind a mess, how can she, a weak woman, possibly persevere and protect this family business?

"Madam, this was sent from the palace..."

A maid brought a letter.

"Okay, you can go now. Close the door properly, and no one is allowed to come in without my permission."

In the quiet of the night, Madam Hu examined the letter in her hand to make sure it had not been opened before opening it with great anticipation.

Her younger sister in the palace is now her only support.

Inside the envelope was only a white sheet of paper with black writing on it.

But as Madam Hu looked at the words on the paper, her sorrow deepened, and a hint of sadness appeared on her face.

She gradually tightened her grip on the white paper, her face turning somewhat pale.

As she watched until the very end, a blush suddenly rose on her face.

Squeak!

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening rang out.

Madam Hu hurriedly placed the letter behind Liu Yi's memorial tablet, her face showing some anger: "Didn't I tell anyone not to come in?"

"Hehe... No one is allowed in, but I am a ghost that has long since died!"

A hoarse sound, like two pieces of iron striking each other, rang out, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

This is a man in black wearing a bird-shaped mask. The strangest thing is that only half of his head has hair that almost drags down to his neck, while the other half is completely bald.

"You...who are you!"

Upon seeing the man's appearance, Madam Hu immediately showed fear.

Her frail and helpless appearance was truly pitiful and touching.

However, the man in black in front of her didn't care at all. The sword in his hand gleamed coldly in the dim light, pointing directly at Madam Hu.

"Tell me where the treasure is, and I'll give you a quick death!"

Madam Hu's fear deepened, and she involuntarily stepped back: "I don't know anything about any treasure."

"Humph!"

The man in black snorted coldly, strode forward, and thrust his sword toward Qiqi's jade arm.

Madam Hu was so shocked that she closed her eyes, but her body still instinctively retreated, bumping into the edge of Liu Yi's coffin and falling to the ground.

At the critical moment, a misty purple aura suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The longsword was corroded by the purple aura, which spread rapidly. With a hissing sound, the longsword vanished into nothingness in an instant.

Even the black-clad man wielding the sword had his arm corroded, leaving him no choice but to cut off his arm. He dared not utter another word and hastily fled.

"Madam, why are you always so careless? You must be more careful in the future."

Amidst a hazy purple aura, a tall and handsome figure in a purple robe slowly emerged.

Madam Hu was once again embraced by Ying Jing, surrounded by a warm and soft body, with a faint fragrance of orchids.

Having been rescued from a perilous situation, my suppressed emotions were instantly released.

Thinking of what Liu Yi had said when he was still alive, trying to curry favor with Changxin Jun, and recalling the contents of that letter, she couldn't help but blush and cross her two long, beautiful legs.

"Lord Changxin..."

Feeling those strong arms and familiar scent, Madam Hu couldn't help but tremble slightly and gasp softly.

Two soft, jade-like arms rose and wrapped around Ying Jing's neck. Madam Hu was completely unlike her usual serene self.

She stood on tiptoe, her lips soft and moist, her whole body seemingly wanting to squeeze into Ying Jing's body.

"what's the situation?"

Ying Jing was momentarily stunned.

But... there's no need to think too much about it now, since the Purple Dragon of Fortune has confirmed that Madam Hu has no ill intentions.

……

a long time.

Incense and candles were scattered all over the ground, resembling a plum blossom in bloom...

Madam Hu's hair was styled in an updo, and she had regained her usual gentle and quiet demeanor.

A faint smile graced her harmonious face as she carefully fastened Ying Jing's belt with her two delicate hands.

Her every gesture remained elegant and serene, like that of a dignified woman.

This appearance truly surprised Ying Jing, and he even doubted whether she was the same person as the one who had been acting crazy before.

"Madam, can you tell me what happened now?"

Madam Hu's sudden wild behavior was one thing, but what surprised Ying Jing the most was the beautiful plum blossom on the ground.

What has Liu Yi been doing all these years?

Madam Hu blushed and found a piece of paper on the scattered ground, handing it to Ying Jing.

"Actually, Liu Yi and I are just a couple in name only; this matter involves the King of Han..."

As Madam Hu recounted her story, Ying Jing grew increasingly astonished.

This is absolutely outrageous!

During the Baiyue Rebellion of that year, Fire Rain Manor was completely destroyed by fire.

Although the actions of the three wolves who cut their hair were attributed to the outside world, they naturally had no good feelings towards the two orphans, Lady Hu and Lady Hu, who were the main culprits in the Korean war.

Therefore, Lady Hu entered the palace under the pretense of seeking refuge to hide herself, and used Baiyue incense to bewitch the King of Han.

After Liu Yiqiang married Lady Hu, Lady Hu told King Han that she and her sister Lady Hu were of one mind... and could feel each other's... feelings.

This made King Han uneasy. Wasn't Liu Yi's marriage to Lady Hu a way of cuckolding him?

However, Liu Yi had already sent out wedding invitations and had made great contributions in the Baiyue affair, so even the King of Han couldn't easily take him away.

Therefore, on Lady Hu's advice, King Han An secretly summoned Liu Yi and warned him not to...

As compensation, he successfully took over the position of Left Sima, and his corruption and other misconduct were completely ignored.

Therefore, although Liu Yi and Madam Hu had been married for many years, they had never been intimate, and Liu Yi often stayed out all night...

"Therefore, Liu Yi's previous flattery of me was not because he wanted to break free from Ji Wuye's control, but because he wanted to break free from the state of Han!"

Ying Jing's expression was strange: "But if Liu Yi is trying to curry favor with me for this reason, why is he advising you..."

Madam Hu's face immediately flushed red.

Before being summoned by Ji Wuye, Liu Yi had been praising Lord Changxin to her, his tone practically implying that he wanted her to serve Lord Changxin.

"revenge?"

This was the only reason Ying Jing could think of.

Liu Yi believed Hu Meiren's fabricated story of mutual understanding!

Since he can't eat it anyway, we might as well send it to Lord Changxin to eat, and give it to King Han to wear.

Moreover, even if the King of Han knew what Lord Changxin did, there was nothing he could do!

"As for me today... Lord Changxin, you will understand once you read the letter my sister sent me."
