A tall, handsome man dressed as a grand eunuch rushed forward to support Zhao Ji's waist. Miao Du pulled Zhao Ji into his arms and sighed, "My darling, you've been wronged today. If it weren't for my status restricting me, I would definitely make that woman apologize to you."

Zhao Ji's heart softened immediately. Looking at her handsome and dashing lover, especially strong and powerful in bed, a hint of spring appeared on her face.

Miao Du naturally understood. He gestured for the people around him to step back, then picked up Zhao Ji and began to make love to her on the phoenix bed.

After leaving, Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang Palace and dismissed his attendants. "At midnight, go and check Yongning Palace. At 1 AM, stay at Ganquan Palace to protect Empress Dowager Zhao. If she is not in any danger, there is no need to report back."

In the empty palace, two cold, indistinct voices suddenly rang out, "As you command." Then they vanished without a trace.

Ying Zheng thought of Ying Ji's words, "Ah Zheng, I have never harmed you." He recalled that when they first returned to Qin, Empress Dowager Huayang was displeased and blocked the two of them at Zhangtai, preventing them from entering the palace. It was Ying Ji, who was riding in a sedan chair, who took pity on the two of them and ordered Lord Yangquan, who was guarding the gate, to open the gate.

Later, when they met Ying Ji again in the palace, they made a bet on Ying Zheng's background in public, which made everyone think that because they were half-siblings, Ying Ji looked down on her mother who came from a dancing family.

Ying Ji was different. Her mother came from the Ji family, a prominent clan that had survived from the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years. The family had branches in the states of Chu and Han, and also had marital ties with several other states. It could be said that the family was a powerful clan.

While his father, Ying Yiren, was a hostage in the State of Zhao, his mother took a liking to him because of his appearance and forced him to stay overnight. Unexpectedly, Ji Ru became pregnant in just one day. If he had not returned to Xianyang, he would not have known that he had an older sister who was a year older than him. Fortunately, Ji Ru disappeared, otherwise Zhao Ji might not have become the wife.

Later, I heard that the Ji family revered the eldest daughter of the principal wife, and that every eldest daughter of the principal wife was a lecherous woman. What was strange was that every eldest daughter of the principal wife could only give birth to one daughter in her lifetime, and she could accurately find the father of the child. In the year that Ying Ji came of age, she was given to King Zhuangxiang of Qin. Ji Ru disappeared without a trace, along with the hundreds of thousands of private soldiers and the vast wealth of the Ji family.

It's not that no one wanted to dig deeper, but Ying Ji started to have a fondness for men after she turned 15. She spent her days indulging in men, not just Zhao Ji, but also Hua Yang, Meng Ao, and Lü Buwei. No matter who it was, she would take advantage of anyone she didn't like. She should have been living a hard life without a mother, but she was extravagant and made people wonder where her money came from.

Many people, out of fear of the powerful forces behind them, simply endured it and let it pass.

However, when he thought of the scene he witnessed in the Imperial Garden—the arrogant woman slapping his mother in public—Ying Zheng, who had just begun to develop feelings for Ying Ji, immediately lost heart.

He didn't believe Ying Ji's lies and sent people to protect Ganquan Palace and his mother to prevent anyone from making trouble behind his back.

Yongning Palace

Ying Ji was so frightened by what she had just witnessed that she collapsed onto the bed, frantically breathing in fresh air. Memories flooded her mind, causing her to faint from the pain. Under the multiple stimuli, she could no longer hold on and passed out.

As the first rays of dawn shone into Yongning Palace, a stunningly beautiful woman slightly twitched her eyelids. Beside her, a gentle-looking maid directed a group of palace servants to help the princess wash up.

The first thing the woman saw when she opened her eyes was Li Yuange, who had a delicate and pretty appearance. She had been in a daze all night, and her mind was filled with the experiences of being two people in one life. She was so confused that she could hardly tell who she was. Was she Ying Ji from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Blue Star, or Princess Ying Ji from Great Qin?

When Li Yuange saw that Princess Wang had woken up, he knelt down on both knees, not daring to raise his head, and raised the teacup high with both hands for her to rinse her mouth.

Ying Ji silently rinsed her mouth and lay back down.

Seeing that Princess Wang was about to fall asleep again, Li Yuange thought of yesterday's events and knew that Princess Wang had been frightened and needed to rest. After carefully tidying up the quilt, he took the initiative to leave the room and stood guard at the door.

The woman on the bed pretended to be asleep for a while, and only dared to get up and observe her surroundings when she realized that no one was around.

Seeing that there was no danger, I lay back on the bed and searched my memory.

[How did I end up in the Qin Dynasty? Ying Zheng is 20 years old this year, huh?? 20 years old, doesn't that mean Cheng Jiao is about to rebel? That won't do, if Ying Zheng directly labels me as a traitor, I'm doomed. I can't just sit here and wait to die. I wonder if the original owner of this body had any private soldiers protecting her. As a princess, she should have some confidence.]

The woman, who was trying to think hard, suddenly felt as if her mind was exploding with even more information. By the time she had sorted out her thoughts, an hour had passed.

Ying Ji called softly from inside the palace, "Yuan Ge."

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Yuange was already kneeling before Ying Ji, awaiting her orders.

"Where is Ah Zheng now? Where is Zhang Tang?"

As if anticipating Ying Ji's question, Li Yuange immediately replied, "Your Highness, the King of Qin is currently holding court in the main hall. General Zhang Tang has already departed for Zhao Ye."

"Okay, go and prepare some food!"

Ying Ji's head was still throbbing painfully. Thinking of her past life and the original owner's memories, she felt only confusion.

In her previous life, she was raised by the state, went all the way to university, passed the civil service exam with excellent grades, and successfully became a diplomat. She also had a gentle and lovely boyfriend to take care of her.

Ha, I never imagined he was an inside man.

It's from Japan, no wonder they like to wear Dr. Martens boots, that's how they hide those 20-plus centimeter height-increasing insoles!

Thinking about this, I can't help but worry. We were discussing the nuclear wastewater incident back then, and now that we've made some progress in stopping Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater, some of the data under my supervision has been stolen.

After investigating for a long time without any results, I never expected it to come from someone close to me.

The thought of that man pushing her off the balcony to get the information instantly turned icy and ruthless in Ying Ji's eyes. [If I could live again, I'd rather this Japan be destroyed sooner.]

As soon as the thought came to mind, an electronic mechanical voice appeared in my mind.

[Ding-dong... Dear host:]

Hello, I am System Destruction No. 618. Welcome to this system. I hope we have a pleasant and wonderful time together.

Ying Ji's eyes flickered slightly; these were the perks of being a transmigrator.

【System?】The woman looked at the electronic screen in front of her. Even though she knew she had a cheat code for transmigrating, she was still shocked. It was very cyberpunk and completely out of place with her antique residence. She was getting a head start on enjoying the benefits of the high-tech era.

618: [Yes, my dear host.]

What are your abilities? How did I come to the Qin Dynasty?

618 replied in a child's electronic voice: [Host, this system carefully selected you before binding you. Your dying thought was to destroy Japan. I liked you so much that I rescued you from the modern world, bound your soul to me, and brought you here. It cost me quite a few gold coins in the process; my little treasury is empty now.]

[Gold coins? How did you save me? Can I go back?]
