Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 73 Zhao Ji Wants to Take the Initiative

Less than half an hour later.

Xu Lin returned home.

As soon as he got home, he saw that the light in his room was on and there seemed to be someone inside.

This made Xu Lin frown.

Confused, he strolled towards the room.

Squeak!

The wooden door opened!

The person who came into view was none other than Jingwei, who was several months pregnant.

Jingwei was seen kneeling on one knee with a bramble on his back, as if waiting for him to come back.

After seeing this scene, Xu Lin immediately stepped forward, took off the brambles, and helped Jingwei up.

"Madam, what are you doing?"

Xu Lin looked puzzled.

Fortunately, Jingwei's clothes were of good quality, otherwise Jingwei's jade back would have been ruined!
"I am guilty."

"Actually, I'm not Li, but the Luowang Killer."

"I am here on the orders of Lü Buwei to assassinate my husband... sir."

Jingwei confessed.

"Actually, I already knew that."

"Or I'll give you a chance to get pregnant?"

Xu Lin smiled and comforted.

Then he took Jingwei into his arms and walked towards the couch.

"When did you know that, sir?"

Jingwei was shocked when he heard this.

She thought Xu Lin didn't know her true identity!
"Did Li Wu tell you, sir?"

Jingwei asked.

"That's it."

Xu Lin nodded.

After saying that, he gently stroked Jingwei's jade back and let Jingwei sit on his lap.

"Sir, you're not angry about this?"

"I have deceived you after all."

Jingwei asked in a low voice.

"What's there to be angry about?"

"It's true that you are a Luowang assassin, but you were not ordered to kill me."

Xu Lin asked back with a smile.

"Although I didn't act on orders, I did deceive you, sir."

"I wonder how the master intends to punish me?"

Jingwei lifted her hair and asked softly.

She felt guilty about it, so she was ready to be punished!
"Do you really want to be punished?"

Seeing Jingwei's serious expression, Xu Lin asked with a smile.

"Didn't you say that rewards and punishments should be clearly distinguished?"

Jingwei nodded.

She would feel bad if she wasn't punished!
"Since you insist on being punished, then so be it."

"From now on, for the next hour, you will do whatever I tell you to do. No questions allowed, just do it. How do you do it?"

Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled calmly and asked immediately.

"it is good."

Jingwei put her legs together and nodded in agreement.

She was prepared for Xu Lin to do something bad. After all, she was pregnant with Xu Lin's child, so she thought Xu Lin would not go too far!

……

After a cup of tea.

Jingwei, with a slightly bulging belly, tied up her cascading hair.

"Do you like soy milk?"

Xu Lin asked, using his hand as a pillow.

"like."

Jingwei answered vaguely.

"Do you like it cold or hot?"

Xu Lin asked.

"hot."

Jingwei said without hesitation.

She loves the feeling of being scorching hot!

……

More than half an hour later.

Jingwei's hair was wet, her face was flushed, and her earlobes were as red as crabs just out of the pot.

Although her cultivation was high, her body was still very soft, like a balloon filled with hot water.

"Sir, you are so bad!"

Jingwei covered his mouth and couldn't help burping.

"Still calling me sir?"

Xu Lin pretended to be displeased.

"Hu... husband."

Jingwei's face was as red as the autumn sunset.

This is the most beautiful scenery in the world!
"Didn't you ask me to punish you?"

Xu Lin asked as he admired the mountains.

"Yes."

"But how could I have known that you, my husband, were so evil? Not only..."

Jingwei's face was full of anger.

She is like two different people now and in usual time!
As cool and elegant as Jingwei usually is, she is just as shy at this moment!
Soon, Jingwei put on a veil and turned the topic to Luowang. "Husband."

"Although Lü Buwei was dismissed from his position as prime minister, the trap remains."

"Do you think Li Wu and I can take this opportunity to escape from Luo's web?"

Jingwei asked, resting his head on Xu Lin's chest.

She is very tired now and speaks weakly.

"Of course!"

"I remember there seemed to be a Luowang stronghold in the northern suburbs of Xianyang?"

Xu Lin said without hesitation.

Others may not be able to escape from the trap, but why can't his woman escape from it easily?
After saying that, he used the jade back of Jingniu as a desk and wrote a letter to Yanri.

He who knows the times is a hero. He believes that Yanri is a smart man!

……

After a stick of incense.

In the northern suburbs of Xianyang, Luowang stronghold.

Yanri, who was sitting cross-legged at the desk, received Xu Lin's letter.

"Jingwei and Liwu are going to withdraw from Luowang?"

After reading it, Yanri fell into deep thought.

Then he suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and began pacing in the study.

Lu Buwei has been dismissed from his position as prime minister, and it is basically impossible for him to make a comeback, so there is no need to be afraid of offending Lu Buwei!

Xu Lin had just been promoted to deputy commander of the Shadow Secret Guard and had a bright future. It was said that Ying Zheng once said that he wanted to promote Xu Lin to be the national teacher, second only to the emperor, but Xu Lin refused.

This shows Ying Zheng's appreciation for Xu Lin.

It is Luowang that needs Daqin, not Daqin that needs Luowang. Therefore, for the future of Luowang, Yanri can only please Xu Lin.

There is no precedent of Luowang withdrawing?

Rules are dead, people are alive!

To offend Xu Lin is to offend the Shadow Guard, offend Ying Zheng, and offend the entire Qin Dynasty!

The Sun-shaking Kings of all ages were not fools, otherwise how could Luowang have existed for so many years?

Thinking of this, Yanri wrote a letter back to Xu Lin, and then crossed out the names of Jingni and Liwu from the list of Luowang members.

……

The next day.

Xianyang, Xu Mansion.

Xu Lin received Yanri's letter.

After seeing the letter, Xu Lin smiled and called Li Wu over.

Jingwei was too tired last night and hasn't woken up yet.

After reading the contents of the letter, Li Wu was overjoyed and wanted to thank Xu Lin, but was rejected by Xu Lin.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"There's no rush."

Xu Lindao.

He is very hungry now and just wants to eat meat.

The meat is lamb, chicken, or beef, not a woman!

"it is good!"

Li Wu readily agreed.

Then I went to make breakfast for Xu Lin.

……

at the same time.

Xianyang, Ganquan Palace.

As she grew older, Zhao Ji's sleep time became shorter and shorter.

Recently, she would wake up naturally after sleeping for three hours every day.

After a quick wash and some food, Zhao Ji called Hongzao over.

"Have all the maids in Ganquan Palace been replaced by our own people?"

Zhao Ji sat sideways in front of the dressing mirror, combing her hair as she asked.

Her hair is very black, like satin!
"Correct!"

"Every maid has been investigated by our subordinates and confirmed to be safe before being allowed to come."

Hongzao nodded.

Then he walked quickly towards Zhao Ji, rolled up his sleeves, and began to comb Zhao Ji's hair.

Although Zhao Ji was the Queen Mother of Qin, she still liked to dress up as she did when she was young.

In fact, with Zhao Ji's beauty, she didn't need to wear rouge or powder at all, but Zhao Ji still chose to put on some makeup.

"I heard that Zheng'er promoted Mr. Xu to the position of Deputy Commander of the Shadow Secret Guard yesterday?"

Zhao Ji looked down at her jade-white legs and asked casually.

Her legs are round and smooth, not only without any flaws, but also extremely elastic.

"Yes."

Hongzao nodded.

Then he poured a bowl of hot tea for Zhao Ji.

"Mr. Xu played a great role in Lü Buwei's affairs."

"Isn't it too little to promote him to just the deputy commander of the Shadow Secret Guard?"

"Go find him, I want to thank him in person!"

Zhao Ji took a sip of hot tea and immediately gave the order.

She has been waiting for this day for several months!

"promise!"

Hongzao was stunned when he heard this, then accepted the order.

After she disappeared from sight, Zhao Ji asked someone to bring over the fine wine that had been stored in the cellar for decades.

Xie Xulin, how can we do without wine?

Xu Lin doesn't like drinking?

It’s better if she doesn’t like drinking. As the queen mother, she must take full control of the initiative!
