The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

A few days later, Zixuan was distributing disaster relief food in a village under Shanggu County.

The soldier came to report that there was a letter from the King of Qin. After opening the letter, the general meaning was:

The King of Qin, grateful for her selfless assistance to the Qin State, invited Zixuan to a banquet at the Xianyang Palace to express his gratitude...

Zixuan handed the letter to Boyuan: "What do you think, my husband?"

After reading the letter, Bo Yuan pondered for a while and said, "Xuan'er, I think you should not go."

“Didn’t Zhu Fang say before he died that his daughter was the Qin King’s concubine? I’m afraid there will be no good banquet without good wine!”

Zixuan nodded: "I thought so too. I wanted to spare her, but she rushed towards the tip of the knife!"

"This time I'm going to play the game of knowing there's a tiger in the mountain but still going there!"

"If she has no ill intentions, then that's fine. But if she really wants to harm me, then I can use her to avenge Yu'er!"

Bo Yuan asked worriedly, "Xuan'er, is this too dangerous?"

Zixuan patted his hands: "Husband, you know how capable Xuan'er is, not to mention there are so many robots in the space!"

Bo Yuan nodded: "Okay! Your husband will accompany you for a walk!"

Good! Zixuan immediately called the messenger: "Go back and tell the King of Qin that I will be there on time!"

After sending the messenger away, Zixuan teleported to the Xianyang Palace.

When Duke Huai of Qin came back from court and opened the door of his study, he was shocked as he walked in.

He saw a beautiful woman sitting in front of a table drinking something he had never seen before.

He immediately drew his sword and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my study!"

Zixuan smiled and said, "Didn't you write to ask me to come? How come you forgot so quickly?"

"When did I write to you? Who are you?"

"I am Zixuan, the City Lord of Fugui City. Here, this is the letter you wrote to me."

After saying that, he placed the bamboo slip on the table.

"Ah? You are the Lord of Zixuan City?"

Duke Huai of Qin returned the sword to his sheath in surprise, bowed deeply to Zixuan and said, "City Lord Zixuan, I am honored to meet you."

Zixuan raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat. Come and see if this letter was written by you."

Duke Huai opened the bamboo slips, read the contents of the book, and then slammed them onto the table.

"City Lord Zixuan, who is so bold as to forge the royal decree?"

Zixuan pushed his hands away and shrugged: "How should I know that this letter really wasn't written by you?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

"Then, do you want to know who falsely conveyed the king's order?"

"Of course I did! If we don't find this person, the Qin State will suffer chaos in the future!"

"Okay! In that case, I can help you lead this person out."

"Really? I wonder how City Lord Zixuan used to lure out this thief?"

"King Qin, this man tricked me into Xianyang to harm me."

"I have never been to Qin nor made any enemies. The only suspect is the daughter of Zhu Fang, the governor of Shanggu."

"Zhu Fang was killed by me for killing the people. To avenge her, her daughter falsely conveyed the king's order and tricked me into coming to the capital, intending to kill him!"

"Of course, this is just my guess. If I want to find evidence, I must act as bait and lure the thief out myself!"

"Send someone to spread the news that I'm coming to Xianyang immediately!"

"And he said he would hold a banquet in the palace to welcome me tomorrow night."

"You must keep a close eye on Zhu Ji's movements and keep a close eye on her. Once I get the evidence, I'll take her down immediately!"

"Okay! I'll listen to you and make arrangements right away!"

In Zhushe Mansion, he immediately became furious after hearing his subordinates' report:

"What? I sent more than ten groups of assassins along the road from Xianyang to Shanggu, but I didn't even see Zixuan!"

"Did you neglect your duties and fail to fulfill them, allowing her to escape?"

"Sir! I have been diligent in my duties, without neglecting them in the slightest, yet I still haven't found her!"

"What a bunch of useless people! What use are you if you can't even keep an eye on one person!"

Just as he was furious, a retainer ran in: "Sir! News just came from the palace!"

"It's said that Zixuan has arrived in Xianyang City! The King is planning a welcoming banquet for her tomorrow night!"

"What? Damn it! You guys said you didn't neglect your duties! How did Zixuan get to Xianyang City?"

Get out of here! Get out of here as far as you can! I get a headache just seeing you!

After saying that, Zhu She raised his legs and kicked his men out one by one.

Then he calmed down again. Zixuan had entered the city? Would she tell the King of Qin about the fake letter?

The more Zhu She thought about it, the more scared he became. No, he had to strike first. If the King of Qin dared to touch me, I would kill you too!

Thinking of this, he immediately sent someone to the palace to invite Zhu Ji over.

The visitor plotted for an hour before Zhu Ji left.

The King of Qin gnashed his teeth in hatred after listening to the spy's report: It's really hard to guard against a thief in your own home!

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. If you kill City Lord Zixuan, his sons will definitely slaughter all the people in the Ying family!

Zhu She and Zhu Ji, you are so bold that you actually falsely convey the king's order. This crime is like treason!

Once City Lord Zixuan gets the evidence against you, I will not let you off easily!

The next evening, Zixuan attended the dinner prepared for her by the King of Qin as promised.

Ministers from the court and concubines from the harem sat with them. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, a palace maid brought a bowl of bird's nest.

"King Zixuan, this is the blood bird's nest stewed specially for you by Concubine Zhu. Please enjoy it."

Zixuan looked at the bowl of bird's nest and laughed, "I'm surprised! How can I enjoy such a rare and precious thing alone?"

"Take it to Zhuji, and I'll share it with her!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Zhu Ji. The maid hesitated for a moment, but still followed him with the bird's nest.

When Zhu Ji saw Zixuan ordering his maid to bring bird's nest towards her, she was shocked.

Could it be that Zixuan wanted me to eat it? That bowl of blood swallows was laced with the highly toxic crested red, how could I possibly eat it?

Zixuan came up to Zhu Ji and said with a smile, "I heard from the maid that this bowl of blood swallows was cooked by you personally?"

Zhu Ji forced a smile and nodded at the fish head. "That's right, blood swallows are rare and precious. Please, City Lord Zixuan, eat them while they're hot."

"Well, since it's a rare commodity, how can I enjoy it alone? How about we each split this bowl of blood swallows in half?"

Zhu Ji quickly shook her head and waved her hands: "How can that be possible? The blood swallows are specially prepared for you. You are a distinguished guest, how can I share them with you?"

"That's fine, that's fine. I have a hobby of sharing good things with others. Come on, let's split the lunch!"

After saying this, he ordered the maid to pour the bird's nest into another bowl, but the maid hesitated and did not move.

Zixuan looked at the King of Qin with a cold expression: "King of Qin, your maidservant is so arrogant! I can't even control her!"

The King of Qin glared at the maidservant and said, "You little bitch! Don't you want to live? Fall down now!"

“Yes!” the maid agreed and split the blood swallow into two halves with trembling hands.

Zixuan picked up the bowl and said, "Ji Zhu, I will eat first to express my gratitude!"

After saying that, he picked up the blood swallow, slowly put it into his mouth with a spoon, and finished it quickly.
