People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 93, Please change into this outfit, Madam (Seeking first subscription)
"Condolences."

Luo Jing looked up at Xu Qing. Perhaps because she had been crying for too long, she was a little weak and her body was slightly swaying. The hem of her mourning clothes fell down slightly, revealing a corner of her fair shoulder.

Suqiu swayed slightly with her sobs, her slender waist seeming as if it might break at any moment from bearing such an exaggeratedly large fruit.

That exquisitely beautiful face bore a hint of weakness and sorrow, tears welling in her beautiful eyes, and her lips parted slightly.

"Thank you."

Looking at the frail and beautiful widow, Xu Qing's heart tightened. Her face, expression, and clothes were simply too tempting to commit a crime.

Ultimately, the occasion was inappropriate. Otherwise, out of a doctor's compassion, he would have definitely taken the other person's pulse to prevent them from being too heartbroken, since the Feng family still needed the other person to support them.

Xu Qing sighed twice, said a few words of comfort, and then left.

"How about we have Madam Mingzhu try this on tonight? It should be quite exciting. If she's not happy about it, we can have Consort Hu do it."

"That shapely bottom paired with that outfit is simply..."

As Xu Qing walked, she pondered, occasionally turning back to look at the mourning hall. Gazing at that exquisitely beautiful yet sorrowful figure, she felt even more moved.

A concubine, with no male heirs in the household, not only had to manage the funeral arrangements, but would also likely face future disputes over the family property from Dr. Feng's relatives.

Given her beauty, it's likely that someone with ill intentions will soon come knocking on her door to cause trouble.

Unfortunately, he was just a neighbor. If he were a relative of Dr. Feng, he would definitely have fought hard for Dr. Feng's inheritance.

He would be willing to live in a mansion and become a high-ranking official, as long as he could inherit the concubine's position.

After leaving the Feng residence, Xu Qing washed her hands and face briefly, ate some food, and then returned to the Imperial Hospital to continue her work.

In the palace of King Han, in the bedroom of Consort Hu.

Han Wang An stared in astonishment at the beauty Hu before him.

"What did you just say, my beauty? You said that the wife of Liu Yi, the Left Sima, is your sister who has been missing for many years?" King Han asked in confusion.

Hu Meiren was dressed in a pink palace robe, her pretty face adorned with a few teardrops, and tears welled up in her fox-tail eyes as if they might fall at any moment.

"To be honest, I don't believe it myself, but I ran into Madam Hu at the theater last time. A unique feeling led me to exchange a few more words with her, and after some confirmation, we recognized each other." As Madam Hu spoke, two clear tears streamed down her face, and she began to sob softly.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the promise you made when you brought me back to the palace? It seems that Your Majesty has found new sisters and has forgotten about me."

Seeing Hu Meiren's sobs growing louder, Han Wang'an showed a hint of embarrassment; to be honest, he had truly forgotten.

However, after thinking about it carefully, King Han An remembered that in order to win over Lady Hu, he had promised to help her find her lost sister.

However, after Consort Hu entered the palace, she never mentioned it again, and he forgot about it.

"Oh dear, how could I forget? You asked me to help you find your lost sister. I did send people to the State of Chu to search for her, but unfortunately, they couldn't find her."

"I was too embarrassed to tell you this result, so I never told you. I never imagined that your sister would be the wife of the Left Sima."

Han Wang An took out a handkerchief to wipe away Hu Meiren's tears, but Hu Meiren dodged away and wiped her own tears with her back to Han Wang An.

Seeing the angry Lady Hu, King Han An looked helpless and then spoke.

"Now that you sisters have recognized each other, it is only right that you advertise it to the world. Her status as the Left Sima's wife is certainly not in question. I will send someone to the Left Sima's residence shortly to finalize this matter."

Seeing the sullen beauty, King Han An's doubts were completely dispelled.

When Consort Hu entered the palace, she claimed to be from the State of Chu. Liu Yi's wife was also married when he returned from conquering the Baiyue, and she claimed to be from the State of Chu as well.

King Han An considered it a coincidence and didn't think much of it, instead preparing to coax his beauty. Upon hearing King Han An's agreement, Beauty Hu immediately put on a smiling face and turned to look at him.

"Really? Your Majesty is indeed the most wise and sagacious ruler in the world."

Hu Meiren was very grateful to Xu Qing, after all, it was Xu Qing who made it possible for the two sisters to recognize each other.

She had originally planned to take the opportunity to ask Xu Qing for some credit, but Xu Qing said he didn't want to take the limelight, so he refused.

She could only comply, thinking she would find another opportunity to make it up to Xu Qing later, otherwise she would always feel guilty.

Unaware of the truth, King An of Han was laughing heartily with great enthusiasm.

"Hahaha, needless to say. It's truly fate. Today, Zuo Sima even volunteered to lead troops to the front lines to resist the Qin state."

"I had some doubts at first, but since he is one of my own, I will give him this opportunity to make a name for himself."

"The beautiful sisters have been separated for many years and have finally reunited. There must be divine assistance in the dark. Let Zuo Sima lead the troops to resist the Qin army. They will surely win a great victory."

He was initially worried that promoting Liu Yi to Right Sima would disrupt the balance of power in the court.

However, Ji Wuye requested to be stationed in Xinzheng to prepare for any eventuality, and Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei was in Nanyang to guard against the State of Chu. Apart from Liu Yi, it seemed that there were really no experienced and capable generals in the court who could lead troops to resist the State of Qin.

Liu Yi is now the husband of Hu Meiren's sister, Madam Hu, making them brothers-in-law.

Judging from their closeness and distance, Liu Yi, the confidant of General Ji Wuye, is about to become his confidant as well.

He was promoted to Right Sima to lead troops to fight against Qin, which not only solved the emergency at the front but also prevented any concerns about affecting the balance of power in the court.

This win-win situation made King Han look at Consort Hu with increasing satisfaction. He felt that Consort Hu was his lucky star, always able to help him out of trouble at crucial moments.

"My beauty, you are truly my lucky star! I must reward you handsomely! Guards!" Before King Han could finish speaking, the eunuch Han hurriedly entered the bedchamber.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! An urgent battle report has arrived from the front lines."

With a look of panic, Han, the eunuch, presented the military report in his hand to King Han An. King Han An immediately got up, opened the report, and read it carefully.

Hu Meiren also looked at Han Wang'an with curiosity. The joy on Han Wang'an's face gradually faded, turning into deep fear and panic.

"Quickly, quickly summon the Grand General, the Prime Minister, and the Fourth Prince, and also summon the Left Sima." King Han An spoke anxiously, his expression flustered.

The military report was brief: the Qin army had invaded and captured two cities.

"Yes."

"My beauty, I will come to see you again later."

Han Wang An, no longer caring about Consort Hu, hurriedly left with the military report in hand. Although he enjoyed beautiful women of all kinds, he valued the power in his hands even more.

If the Qin army attacks now and the border is lost, allowing the Qin army to advance unimpeded, the already small state of Han will suffer even more, and its power will be further diminished.

"State affairs are of utmost importance, Your Majesty, please attend to state affairs first. I have maids to serve me here, it's alright."

Hu Meiren smiled, stood up, and gave a slight bow.

King Han An rose and left Consort Hu's bedchamber with his attendants.

Watching Han Wang'an's retreating figure, Hu Meiren's smile gradually faded, and after sitting down again, a hint of anticipation appeared on her face.

"Sister, I can finally acknowledge you openly and honestly. From now on, no one will be able to bully you anymore," Hu Meiren said softly.
