When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

Chapter 308 My Queen Mother Neighbor
Women are all sensitive, and pregnant women are doubly sensitive. This is true even for Concubine Hu, who had long since honed her tough character in the palace. Yang Chong really took some effort to calm this sensitive woman down.

In the small garden in the backyard, Mrs. Hu had already prepared dinner. A table full of food, not luxurious but rich enough, was placed on the stone table under the pavilion. Mrs. Hu, who had nothing to do all day but was just thinking about how to live her life, even hung lanterns on the four corners of the pavilion. She was obviously already quite old and was about to become a grandmother, but she still had the innocence and naivety that only a young girl could have.

I really don't know what to say about a woman like this.

"Sister, are you relieved now?" Mrs. Hu poured a glass of wine for Yang Chong, and naturally sat on the seat to Yang Chong's right, then looked at her sister who was sitting on Yang Chong's left.

At this time, Lady Hu was wearing an apricot-yellow robe, and her already delicate face was flushed with a light blush. The visual impact of her rosy complexion was definitely not something that a young girl could compare to.

At this time, Concubine Hu was half leaning on Yang Chong, looking lazy, as if all the bones in her body had melted. In fact, at this time, Concubine Hu's bones had indeed melted, and her whole body was like a beautiful snake, wrapped around Yang Chong.

As for what happened to Lady Hu that turned the previously anxious and resentful woman into what she is now, Mrs. Hu naturally knew it very well. Thinking of the secret, Mrs. Hu subconsciously tightened her waist, and even the muscles in her legs twisted. During the entanglement, an unbearable itch kept hitting her soul.

Once you let go of some things, you will see a higher level of freedom. The same is true for Mrs. Hu.

She used to be unable to sleep or eat because of the complicated relationship between her and Yang Chong. After all, there was not only an age gap and status gap between her and Yang Chong, but also Nongyu was caught in the middle.

She obviously missed her daughter Nongyu very much, but after finding her, she did not dare to recognize her. Wasn't the reason because of Yang Chong?

Mrs. Hu did not dare to recognize Nanyue because she did not dare to face her. She did not dare to imagine how Nanyue would deal with the situation if she knew about the relationship between her and Yang Chong.

In the end, Mrs. Hu had no choice but to make up her mind not to recognize Nanyue, and kept telling herself that as long as her daughter could live well, she would be satisfied. As for the matter of recognizing each other, it was not that important.

It was because of this thought that, for so many years, even though Mrs. Hu knew that Nanyue was by Yang Chong's side, she never met her. For this reason, she even buried her Fire Rain Agate, which had accompanied her for most of her life, in a corner she had already forgotten.

However, it is hard to say whether Mrs. Hu was considering her daughter's happiness or was worried that after she recognized her daughter, there would be no possibility for her to be with Yang Chong. I am afraid that even Mrs. Hu herself did not know which reason was more important in her decision.

However, as long as Mrs. Hu looked at Yang Chong lovingly at this moment, although there was no physical contact, her whole person seemed to melt, and the answer might have been seen from this.

Perhaps she initially considered the woman more, but after she came to Linzi, it is hard to say how much of this thought she still has. Now, even she herself probably doesn't dare to think about this question anymore, because she is afraid of the answer.

Of course, Mrs. Hu wouldn’t think so much now. What she is thinking about now is that her sister is not feeling well now, and she might have to be alone tonight.

This woman who matured a little late has now become a real woman.

"Sister, please look at yourself first. Of course I can feel relieved, but what about your heart? Is it burning now?" When Lady Hu saw that her sister was teasing her, she immediately fought back. As two sisters who depend on each other, they don't understand each other. It's just hurting each other. Who can be afraid of who?
"It's burning well, it's burning well. Come, have a drink of wine to calm down." Yang Chong poured the wine in the glass into Mrs. Hu's little mouth.

Yang Chong's perception was so sharp that how could he not sense the changes in Mrs. Hu? It must be said that once a mature woman who had been suppressed for many years completely let go, her wildness was definitely not comparable to that of a woman in her twenties.

Mrs. Hu was caught off guard but she still tried her best to swallow the wine that Yang Chong poured into her mouth. She had experienced more intense things, so she could still withstand such a small situation.

Moreover, as the wine went down her throat, a heat rose from Mrs. Hu's lower abdomen. The aroma of the wine and the fragrance of the beauty mixed together, turning into an even more tempting smell.

Mrs. Hu is certainly not the most beautiful among the women around Yang Chong, but she has the most special status. As a result, her taste is naturally special to Yang Chong. After all, although the so-called taboo is shameful, it is precisely because of this that it is more exciting!
Who made Yang Chong a vulgar person?

The dinner was naturally filled with romance and excitement, very exciting.

However, when they were halfway through drinking, a guest arrived in the courtyard.

A guest who shouldn't be in Linzi.

"Your Majesty, it's been a long time since we last met. I haven't yet congratulated you on conquering the State of Yan." A pretty woman came to Yang Chong, led by her maid.

The visitor's words were very frank, and she was indeed an acquaintance of Yang Chong. She was the Queen Mother of Zhao who disappeared in the Zhao Palace after the Qin army broke through Handan.

"I should congratulate you sincerely. How is the Queen Mother?" Yang Chong was not surprised to see the Queen Mother Zhao. After all, it was Yang Chong who facilitated her appearance here.

"Of course it is all thanks to Your Majesty. Otherwise, I would have been buried in the fire of Handan." Queen Mother Zhao said thank you, but there was no gratitude in her expression.

The demise of Zhao State seemed to be caused by the attack of Qin Army, but Yang Chong was not innocent either. During these years, Qi State had always cooperated with Zhao State, and it could be said that they were allies. It was precisely because of this that the two countries were able to remain unmoved in the attacks of Qin Army over the years, and even fight back.

But not long ago, after the Qin army launched an attack on Zhao, Qi, its ally, chose to abandon Zhao. Qi clearly had enough troops, but turned a blind eye to Zhao's predicament and went directly to attack Yan. In the end, Qi conquered most of Yan, but Zhao failed to hold out against the Qin army's attack. Handan fell and Zhao was destroyed.

If it is said that Qi State was not responsible for the fall of Zhao State, then that is a lie. At least in the eyes of Queen Mother Zhao, a large part of the reason for the fall of Zhao State was because Qi State stood aside and watched. It can be said that Yang Chong was an accomplice of Qin Wangzheng. It would be strange if Queen Mother Zhao, knowing this, could have any good face towards Yang Chong.

It can be said that Queen Dowager Zhao hated Yang Chong very much. After all, in her opinion, there was more than just a transaction of interests between her and Yang Chong, but they also had feelings for each other.

It can be said that without Yang Chong, the Queen Mother Zhao would have been deposed by King Yan of Zhao long ago. Not to mention becoming the mistress of Zhao, she might not even have been able to save her life. The same goes for it. Without the help of the Queen Mother Zhao, it would have been difficult for Yang Chong to start from scratch.

The cooperative relationship between the two can be described as very deep. Based on this cooperative relationship, they have many secrets that belong only to the two of them. This special relationship brought them closer together until they crossed the red line.

Therefore, in the eyes of Queen Dowager Zhao, whether for the sake of interests or feelings, Yang Chong should not be abandoned, but in fact it was just like that, and Yang Chong just sat back and watched the demise of the State of Zhao.

Although Yang Chong sent people to rescue the mother and son from the Zhao Palace at the last minute, Queen Mother Zhao would not be grateful to Yang Chong for this, after all, it was Yang Chong who betrayed her first.

However, no matter what they thought, Queen Dowager Zhao, who was in Linzi, had to face up to one reality, that is, she and her son no longer had the State of Zhao, and now they could only rely on Yang Chong, and they dared not offend Yang Chong completely.

Although she couldn't offend Yang Chong, it didn't mean that Queen Dowager Zhao didn't dare to say a few words to him. After all, women always have their own temper.

"That's right. If it weren't for me, the Queen Mother would either be a prisoner of King Zheng of Qin or be buried in flames. If the Queen Mother wants to thank me, she should thank me very much." Facing the sarcasm of the Queen Mother Zhao, Yang Chong didn't care at all. He gladly accepted the Queen Mother Zhao's words which seemed like thanks but were actually ridicule.

"You..." Facing the shameless Yang Chong, Queen Dowager Zhao felt so angry that her chest ached. Her State of Zhao was ruined by Yang Chong, and she couldn't even say a few words to vent her anger. She felt so aggrieved.

"Do you know each other?" The Hu sisters looked at Yang Chong and Queen Dowager Zhao, who didn't look like strangers at all. However, they didn't know that Yang Chong and Queen Dowager Zhao had known each other for a long time. They could never have imagined that their new neighbor, Queen Dowager Zhao, was actually the Queen Dowager of Zhao. What kind of identity was that?

Concubine Hu originally belonged to the palace of King Han, and Mrs. Hu was a widow with another unspeakable identity. It can be said that their identities were complicated enough, but they never expected that the identity of their new neighbor would be even more complicated.

"Of course I know him. I've known him for a long time. When I first met him, he was still a petty thief." Queen Mother Zhao said maliciously. She didn't dare to offend Yang Chong completely, but she said a few words to vent her anger. With her understanding of Yang Chong, Yang Chong could still tolerate it.

"Is it such a coincidence? When I met the king, he was also a thief." Mrs. Hu smiled. The events of the past had already emerged in her mind. Although things at that time were a bit embarrassing, thinking about it now, aren't they wonderful memories?
"If I had known this earlier, perhaps I would not have made that choice back then." Mrs. Hu thought she was livening up the atmosphere, but she had no idea that Queen Mother Zhao actually took it seriously.

Lady Hu looked at her sister speechlessly. Is this the crux of the matter now? Shouldn't they be more curious about the true identity of their neighbor?

That was the queen mother of a country. The Zhao State had already perished. How did the queen mother of the Zhao State become their neighbor? Will they still be neighbors in the future?
"Being a thief is still good. You can steal beauties, and even steal the world." Yang Chongdao, it is not uncommon in this era for a person to steal a country and become a marquis, not to mention that what he wants to steal is the world.

"I admit defeat. I am indeed no match for you." Queen Dowager Zhao saw that the question she had thought about for a long time was completely useless to Yang Chong, so she simply gave up. It's not that she hated Yang Chong very much, she was just somewhat unwilling to accept it.

Queen Mother Zhao was nostalgic for her former power, but it was not a deep nostalgia.

After serving as the Queen Mother of Zhao for many years, she has understood that power is tempting, but power also means responsibility. Power and responsibility are two sides of the same coin. In the past few years, as the Queen Mother of Zhao, she has enjoyed the wealth and glory she has pursued for half her life, but she is also terrified.

During those years, the Qin army attacked year after year, and she was frightened every time. Although she was able to escape danger in the end, it was still a bit exciting.

Although she has lost her power now, isn't it a relief?

It is precisely because she has experienced the risks of the mountains that Queen Dowager Zhao also looks forward to the present peace.

"After all, the State of Zhao is still too heavy a burden for you and your son. Although your current life is not as prosperous as before, you might as well think about it. Since ancient times, has there been any king who lost his country and lived a peaceful life?" Yang Chong comforted the Queen Mother Zhao after inviting her to sit down. He was not the only one who could use tough measures when it came to women.

There was naturally a reason why Yang Chong was able to win over Yan Lingji when he had nothing back then. In this respect, Yang Chong's level was not inferior to his level in martial arts.

"I admit that what the king said makes sense, but I am still unwilling to accept it. Although being ordinary is a good choice, not everyone can be willing to let go." Queen Mother Zhao said helplessly.
Of course she knew that what Yang Chong said was right, but many things were like this. Even if you see it clearly, you may not be able to see through it. After all, who can be absolutely rational when they are in the situation?
"You can live here with peace of mind from now on. As long as Linzi is not conquered, I will protect you and your son for the rest of your lives." Yang Chong promised.

Although he had no psychological burden about doing inappropriate things, he had to admit that Queen Dowager Zhao had contributed a lot to his current status. What's more, the two of them had another level of relationship. Both publicly and privately, Yang Chong had to bear some responsibility to Queen Dowager Zhao.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for achieving our goal. But before that, I have one more thing to ask for your help." Queen Mother Zhao happily put forward her request.

"tell me the story."

"Please, Your Majesty, kill Guo Kai." Queen Dowager Zhao said gritting her teeth. Guo Kai played a great role in the fall of Handan, and women also hold grudges.
