Learn from all schools of thought since the Qin Dynasty

"Old friend?"

Han Fei thought of a possibility, and a familiar figure that he had not seen for a long time appeared in his mind.

Don't look at him like this, he usually looks like a bohemian playboy.

But he has his own pride in his heart, and not everyone can be his friend.

Now, there is only one person in the Qin court whom he can call a "friend".

Han Fei's bitter smile deepened: "If it is really him, I am afraid this matter will be even more troublesome."

Seeing that Han Fei was so afraid of one person, Zi Nu and the others were a little surprised for a moment.

He rarely shows such an expression.

Wei Zhuang asked, "Who is this person you are talking about?"

Han Fei said: "This man's name is Li Si."

"When we were at Xiaoshengxian Manor, we both became disciples of Xunzi, so he was considered my junior fellow apprentice."

"At the beginning, I chose to return to Korea, and he went to Qin."

No one knew his junior fellow apprentice's abilities better than he did.

Like him, although he studied Confucianism, he learned the Legalist school of thought.

There is no doubt about Li Si's ability. Perhaps his only shortcoming in this era is his humble origin.

This resulted in a slight lack of vision and breadth of mind, but as he entered the court, Han Fei believed that this shortcoming would soon disappear.

Zhang Liang frowned.

This Li Si doesn't sound like an easy opponent to deal with.

As a great scholar of the time, Xunzi was well-known even among the seven kingdoms. Almost every kingdom had invited him to serve as an official in their kingdom.

To be accepted as a disciple by such a person, one must have extraordinary qualities.

……

royal palace.

Lu Yuan looked at the unfamiliar palace maid who was leading the way for him with a strange expression on his face.

I feel like this scene is familiar.

As expected, when they arrived in front of a palace, the maid turned around and bowed to him, saying, "Your Excellency, we have arrived at our destination. I will take my leave first."

Who wants to see him in this way?

Lu Yuan looked at the open palace gate in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and walked in.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, the two maids inside closed the wooden door.

Lady Hu sat on a soft couch in the center of the hall, covered with a white fox fur, her legs faintly visible...

There was a maid standing on each side.

The five people all stared at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was even more surprised to see that it was Lady Hu. He looked at her straight in the eye and asked, "I wonder why Lady Hu would want to see me in this way?"

Lady Hu threw the cup in her hand to Lu Yuan's feet, breaking it into pieces. Tea splashed all over the floor, and she shouted angrily, "How dare you, Lu Yuan!"

"You're still pretending here at this hour."

"How dare you fake my sister's death and secretly imprison her and my niece."

"If you don't want me to tell the king about this, release my sister and niece immediately after returning."

Lu Yuan was surprised.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Hu not only knew that Mrs. Hu was not dead, but also found out that Mrs. Hu and Nong Yu were now in his house.

After thinking about it, the only possibility is that Nanyue and Madam Hu were out during this period and were just seen by Madam Hu's people.

This also shows that after learning of her sister's death, Concubine Hu probably never believed it and never gave up sending people to look for her.

The sisters have a deep affection for each other.

Seeing that Lu Yuan remained silent, Lady Hu thought that he was afraid, and a hint of pride appeared on her face.

What about the teacher of Princess Honglian, the top disciple of the Yin-Yang School?

You still have to bow down before her.

Lady Hu stood up from the couch and walked step by step to Lu Yuan.

The tone was slightly softened.

"Don't worry, as long as my sister and niece are safe, I will not only not let the king punish you, but also let him reward you with gold, silver and treasures."

"Thank you for helping my sister find her daughter."

He also knows how to use both kindness and severity.

Unfortunately, the person she was facing was Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan looked at Lady Hu, who was standing less than a meter in front of him, with a playful expression and said, "What makes you feel that you have successfully threatened me?"

Lady Hu was shocked.

A large red hand appeared and before she could react it was grabbed and lifted into the air.

"Be bold!"

The four maids were horrified and tried to rescue Concubine Hu, but were frightened by Lu Yuan's look.

A huge pressure enveloped everyone, and they seemed to be immobilized and unable to move at all.

Concubine Hu was really panicked at this moment. She had never expected that Lu Yuan would dare to attack her in the palace.

Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the servants around you?

Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the King of Han?

"Let me go!" A red light flashed in Lady Hu's eyes.

Seeing that Lu Yuan had no reaction, Lady Hu asked incredulously, "How is that possible?"

"Why didn't it work for you?"

Another illusion?

Lu Yuan was also puzzled. How come all the women in the palace knew a little bit of illusion?

In despair, pain and helplessness, Lady Hu actually started crying like a little girl.

"Damn it! Bastard!"

"I will never let you go even if I die."

"Even if you kill me, you won't be able to leave this palace. The king will tear you into pieces."

With tears in her eyes, where is the nobility, composure and wisdom from the previous moment?

He doesn't look like such a fragile person under normal circumstances!

Lu Yuan was also a little conflicted at this time.

Concubine Hu obviously misunderstood that she had imprisoned Madam Hu and her daughter using underhanded means.

Treat him as an enemy.

Kill her?

Obviously not, after all, she is Nanyue's aunt and Mrs. Hu's sister.

Moreover, if Concubine Hu died in the palace, the blame would be quickly traced back to Lu Yuan.

If I let her go like this, I don't know what kind of trouble this woman will cause.

It's really difficult.

Lady Hu felt uneasy when Lu Yuan looked at her.

More than ten minutes later, Lu Yuan walked out of the hall, holding a pink mandarin duck bellyband in his hand, which he put into his sleeve.

Lady Hu looked ashamed and angry, her face flushed red, and she lowered her head to look somewhere empty.

He rubbed his lips vigorously, as if trying to clean something.

Lady Hu said, "If you dare to spread even a word of what happened today, no one can save you."

The four maids were terrified and knelt down quickly, saying, "We didn't see anything!"

Looking at the trembling maid, Lady Hu's expression finally eased up and said, "Everyone, get up!"

"Get me some hot water right now so I can take a shower and change my clothes."

She just wanted to take a good bath and wash off the sticky feeling on her body.

Although Lady Hu was angry, she did not feel much disgust or aversion deep in her heart.

The feeling of Lu Yuan's hand caressing her body lingered for a long time.

The lake of my heart is rippled.

Just now, the two of them did everything they should and shouldn't have done, except for the last step.

Trying to steal a chicken only to get a handful of rice.

I am talking about the current Concubine Hu.

……

In the garden under the cherry trees.

Lu Yuan held Honglian in his arms, which should have been a very warm picture.

Honglian suddenly frowned, looking suspicious, and sniffed Lu Yuan all over.

"Why do you smell like a vixen?"

"This scent is so familiar, I seem to have smelled it somewhere before."

Is this a dog's nose?

Can you smell this?

Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed, but appeared calm on the surface.

"It might be from that girl Ami."

"She's been obsessed with scented powder lately and bought a lot of it from outside."

It seems I have to buy some candied haws for Tian Mi when I get back.

"Really?" Honglian still didn't quite believe it.

But she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, so she had to put her doubts aside for the time being.
