Faced with an unreasonable woman, Ying Zheng ultimately "swallowed his anger".

"The Imperial Academy suddenly had a lot more people a month ago, especially the Confucian faction. It was a mixed bag, stirring up trouble. Among them were spies from various countries, and some people were identified."

However, there are a few things that are not easy to handle. The Mo and Nong families are relatively stable, but they are constantly making moves behind the scenes, especially on Fusu's side, where he has gained many "good teachers and close friends".

These people's minds are nothing more than on fame and fortune. Recently, a rumor has spread that Princess Ying Ji was born, reincarnated with the blessings of heaven and earth, destined to build a divine palace, and in the name of a goddess, to bless the world and suppress the nine provinces.

Ying Ji frowned deeply. "This public opinion is quite something. It's trying to sow discord between me and Ying Zheng. Moreover, the divine right of kings might be a source of joy for other rulers, but Ying Zheng will never allow divine authority to supersede imperial authority."

Not to mention the kind of ideas that theocracy can produce. It kills three birds with one stone. Not only can it imprison me in Xianyang, preventing me from handling affairs on behalf of Ying Zheng, but it also sows discord between the two, splitting the Qin Dynasty in terms of ideology and power.

Who is behind this?

Seeing that the woman remained silent, frowning as if deep in thought, Ying Zheng took out a poppy flower: "Sister, are you familiar with this?"

Ying Ji's pupils constricted instantly. Mature poppies, but what she had brought were all immature ones, with some buds still attached, let alone dried ones. There were none like that at all.

“Where did this come from? I found it in the Zhao Kingdom before, but I’m sure I’ve never seen a mature flower before.”

Ying Zheng had already asked Tuanzi about it and understood the dangers of this thing.

"What I saw at the clinic was that farmers also cultivated a piece of land for this purpose, and this product was passed down among noble families."

Ying Ji was truly confused. Tuanzi observed her surroundings and used her newly bought exploration radar to check, confirming that there were only the two of them together before she spoke.

"Host, someone from another world has come to this world. Didn't you send a screenshot before, which included a task to clear world bugs? Do you remember?"

Ying Ji nodded. She just didn't know what the world bug meant, and although she appeared casual on the outside, she was actually on edge, so she never asked.

Tuanzi took this matter very seriously: "The world bug is similar to a hacker virus. It can be a series of consciousnesses that are reborn by using another person's body, which is somewhat like possession."

However, they did not use the proper channels; they emerged from loopholes. After investigation, the main god determined that it was caused by your inability to move between your past and present lives.

Moreover, this vulnerability has an extremely high risk factor. Previously, this vulnerability was used to destroy the consciousness and system of a world in order to obtain energy. The Supreme God classified it as S-level, codenamed "Calamity." Host, you must find this person as soon as possible.

The women are all numb; isn't this just adding another disaster to their lives...?

Fortunately, Tuanzi was clever and didn't explain herself too clearly, otherwise Ying Zheng would have become suspicious of her.

Ying Ji pondered for a moment: "So these poppies were brought by the other party?"

Tuanzi nodded affirmatively.

Ying Zheng asked many questions in advance, but there were still some: "We have already sent people to investigate this poppy. There is no source. Physicians have been studying this substance and have discovered that it has analgesic and pain-relieving effects and is used to treat patients."

This medicine is used in extremely large quantities. At first, only a small amount was needed within a month. Later, the intervals between doses became very short, and the dosage gradually increased until the clinic stopped using it.

The plant, transported from Zhao, has been sent to farmers for research, but almost none have been successfully cultivated. Most strangely, it can be planted anywhere outside of Qin territory and will thrive.

Ying Ji broke out in a cold sweat: "It seems that person also has Tuanzi's methods, and is even more insidious and vicious."

Tuanzi placed her fleshy pads on the woman's tense hands, offering silent comfort.

Ying Ji smiled slightly, stroked the glutinous dumpling's smooth fur, and stared intently at the poppy on the table.

"I understand. This matter is urgent, and other things may have to be put aside for the time being. I need Zhang Liang to help me."

Ying Zheng nodded and handed over a handwritten letter.

"Sister, please take good care of Fusu. The other princes are forbidden from going out and are currently being trained in the palace."

Ying Ji's feelings were incredibly complicated at this moment. She gritted her teeth and anxiously thought of a solution.

Seeing the solemnity in the man's eyes, Ying Ji knew that he still completely trusted her. A trace of worry dissipated from her head, and she went straight back to the palace.

Upon entering the hall, one is met with a brutal attack.

Dressed in a snow-blue gauze robe with water patterns, holding a seven-foot-long sword, he leaped into the air, spinning in mid-air, the light reflected off the sword flickering.

It's as if a sword spirit resides within the blade, moving nimbly and freely. Not to mention the sword's wielder grips the hilt with one hand, wielding it with effortless grace.

Sensing something amiss, the sword swung and suddenly thrust towards Ying Ji.

A smile appeared on the woman's lips as she swiftly drew her sword from her side and leaped to block the attack.

Having deflected the attack, the boy did not sheathe his sword; instead, he swung his left fist at his right shoulder.

At the same time, his right leg also attacked his abdomen.

Ying Ji took a half step back, stabilized her lower body, bent down to dodge the leg attack, and grabbed the boy's wrist with one hand, pressing it to the side.

As a result of using too much force, Zhang Liang was pulled and staggered, turning around and falling to the ground.

Then, he plunged his sword into the ground to support himself, and in an instant, he fell into a warm embrace.

The sunlight at this moment was incredibly gentle, and the two of them didn't waste this ambiguous moment, their breaths mingling wildly.

Seeing that the person was so hot from dancing with a sword that their hands were burning, she reluctantly left her soft lips.

"Why are you in the mood for sword dancing today? Are you feeling better?"

The boy was no longer as cheerful as before. Instead, he snuggled up to the woman like a ragdoll cat and said, "I woke up and didn't see you. I was a little annoyed. Let's practice. You're really rising up now. Even I, your master, can't beat you."

Zhang Liang pouted, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Ying Ji adored these cute little dolls, which naturally swayed their pert bottoms and let their long, slender, and straight legs wrap around their waists.

He dragged the beautiful woman, who was now taller than him, back to the room to discuss business.

If it weren't for the fact that the time hadn't come yet, Ying Ji would have made her lie down for at least a few days.

They're like thieves with the desire but not the courage; they only dare to start a fire, not put it out.

Once again, the kiss left Ying Ji somewhat dizzy and disoriented, so she dared not take the next step and instead chatted with the young man about recent events.

It has a bit of a "wise man's time" feel to it.

"Spend some time investigating the opium poppy issue with me. Don't worry about the pawnshop business for now."

Zhang Liang's eyes still held a lingering lust, but he nodded nonetheless: "Gan Luo has returned as well. I'll go and hand over the reins tomorrow."

Ying Ji affectionately kissed her smooth, full forehead: "After this matter is over, I will recommend you for a reward. You can then decide which place you would like to go and gain some experience."

Zhang Liang smiled sweetly, "No rush, you've just gotten back, I want to spend some time with you first."

Needless to say, it was another sharp poke, a tingling sensation spreading from the heart to the limbs.

Unable to resist, he pinned the person down and began another form of plunder...
