A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 28 The smell of conspiracy

After a day's journey, it was already getting late, so Lu Buwei took Ying Zheng and his party to find a guesthouse to stay.

"I've booked this store today, so don't let anyone disturb you!"

Lu Buwei put a piece of gold in the hands of the shopkeeper. This small shopkeeper had never seen such a generous person. He nodded and bowed, calling his men to quickly serve up good wine and food.

"Lu Xiangguo is really generous. Staying in such a hotel is just one gold. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to go all the way there, right?"

Zhao Lijiang saw that he was still the same as before, whether it was real money, silver or a beloved concubine, he could give him anything for his career.

Lu Buwei naturally knew that there was something in Zhao Lijiang's words. Seeing that her tone was a bit teasing, he did not argue with her. He just put his hands behind his back, quite like a powerful official.

"Ying Zheng is an important future for the Qin State. Why not spend this little money to protect his safety?"

Seeing no one around, Zhao Lijiang twisted his waist and approached him again, jokingly saying

"In the past, you bet your career on Ying Yiren, what's the matter? Now you've started to blame it on Zheng'er?"

Seeing her charming look, Lu Buwei warned him with a stern face.

"Now that your status is different from before, you should also know that when you return to the Qin Kingdom, you will be the king's concubine. In the Qin Palace, you cannot look like this."

"Are you afraid that if your quarrel with me is known by the king, your career will be in jeopardy?! Are you thinking about me?"

Zhao Lijiang was willful and never minced her words. She spoke so straightforwardly that Lu Buwei didn't know how to respond!

Seeing that she was charming, Lu Buwei flicked his sleeves and said in a hurry

"I'm going to see Ying Zheng!"

Seeing him walking away, Zhao Lijiang did not forget to ridicule him.

"Why are you pretending to be a gentleman? We'll see tonight!"

Ying Zheng, who was in the house, was lying on the bed in a daze!

Although he knew that he had a more important burden on him, he couldn't stop Shikiya's appearance from appearing in his mind now.

We had only been together for a few months, but when I looked back, I couldn't find a few important memories. Thinking of these, Ying Zheng felt a little regretful. He originally thought he would stay in Zhao country for the rest of his life, but he thought it would be a long time, and maybe he would still be there every day. Being able to see her made me feel more confident. Who could have imagined that in just a blink of an eye, they were already far apart.

Lu Buwei gently pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Ying Zheng in a daze, he asked softly:

"Are you still used to living here?"

Seeing Lu Buwei come in, Ying Zheng stood up immediately and regained his disappointed look.

"Lu Xiangguo."

He called out.

Then he stood up and said

"It's natural to live in a habit. I'm not a person who is accustomed to fine clothes and fine food. It's enough to have a roof to protect me from the wind and rain. Lu Xiangguo doesn't have to spend so much money to rent this shop."

Lu Buwei was naturally pleased to see that he was sensible.

"These are all necessary expenses. Why spend money? You are the hope of the Qin State. Our great Qin depends on you for our strength. What does this little money mean?"

Lu Buwei came to visit at night. His impression of him was not that good at first, but along the way, he took good care of him and he could be said to be doing his best. Although Ying Zheng knew that he had selfish motives, he also knew that he was not clear with his mother, but Ying Zheng doesn't want to pursue these matters any further.

The two sat on the floor. Ying Zheng thought for a moment and asked

"You once said that I have a younger brother, Cheng Yu. What kind of person is he?"

Lu Buwei's tone was gentle and he spoke slowly.

"He is four years younger than you. He is only eight years old now. Although he is still young, he is not a naughty child. He is quite talented. You cannot underestimate him."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng showed a stern look on his face.

"Father...will he become the prince?"

"Why, are you very concerned about the position of prince?"

Lu Buwei asked tentatively.

Ying Zheng never wanted to hide his ambitions, and he was naturally hungry for power. Twelve years as a hostage made the young Ying Zheng understand even more that only power is supreme! Now that he has returned to Qin, why do he still need to rely on others? Naturally, I have to reach the highest position! So what if that was his brother? I have never met him. If it's a family relationship, I naturally don't have any brotherly feelings. If he wants to compete with me for the position of prince, I will never give in!

At a young age, Ying Zheng has revealed some of his desire for power in front of Lu Buwei. This is a good thing for Lu Buwei! I went all the way to find him, but fortunately I didn't find an ignorant person. What I wanted was just like this, a person with the spirit to rule the world!

"I am the eldest son. Since ancient times, I have been nurturing the elder rather than the younger. However, it is not unheard of to replace the elder with the younger. I am not like a dragon, but I can accompany my father day and night, and I am respectful and filial. Naturally, my feelings are not as good as his. He has a close relationship with his father. If...my father intends to make him the crown prince, I would also like to ask Lu Xiangguo to help me..."

After that, Ying Zheng bowed deeply to Lu Buwei. This move moved Lu Buwei so much that he praised him repeatedly.

What a teachable kid! Children can be taught!

"Since I am here to welcome you back in person, I naturally like you even more!"

Lu Buwei quickly helped him up

"When King You of Zhou abolished his elders and established young ones, he ended up in defeat. If the king really had this intention, I would definitely stop him with my life! Don't worry!"

During the conversation with Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei also understood his ambition. Such ambition made him happy. After greeting Ying Zheng, he exited the room.

Lu Buwei stood at the door of Ying Zheng's room and thought for a moment, then entered Zhao Lijiang's room without hesitation.

"I knew you would come..."

As soon as Lu Buwei stepped in, Zhao Lijiang's voice came from inside the house.

Seeing her naked lying on the bed, I had been waiting for a long time.

"Didn't you just warn me to keep my distance from you and not to show off? What's wrong, Lu Xiangguo, have you forgotten?"

Zhao Lijiang was lying on the bed, looking at Lu Buwei with a smile, and saw that he looked embarrassed and stood at the door without daring to come forward.

"Come here! There is no one else in this room. Why are you being reserved? Qin is still far away. If you don't tell me about this, who will know? You want to be the prime minister, why don't I want to be? How can a stranger discover the position of queen!"

Zhao Lijiang is a natural master of seduction. She has known since she was a child that her beauty is unparalleled. If she hooks her fingers casually, men will flock to her. Just like Lu Buwei at the moment, although he is standing at the door pretending to be reserved, he is not. He has not escaped his own temptation. At this moment, career, life and death are all forgotten!

Lu Buwei had just gotten into Zhao Lijiang's bed. When the two of them were in a state of passion and forgetfulness, Zhao Lijiang suddenly spoke:

"I sent a killer, and Shimina girl should have been killed by now."

Her fluttering words frightened Lu Buwei into feeling dull for an instant!

"What did you say?!"

He looked at this enchantress in fear, talking and laughing about such a terrifying thing!
