The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 168 Dark Clouds Gathering
This time, Wei Liao was sent to Zhao to make plans. First, he wanted to explore Zhao's background with the cooperation of Guo Kai.

Secondly, he was also worried that King Zhao Daoxiang would bite the bullet and invite Lian Po back. Although the possibility was small, he still had to be on guard.
Third, in order to ensure that Zhao State can exert some combat power, this time the Qin and Zhao alliance will definitely give Wei State a good blow.

Of course, Zhao also needs to bleed, and Wei is not to be trifled with either. It is a good thing for the two countries to be evenly matched and have a mutual exchange of forces.

King Anxi of Wei and Lord Xinling are not dead yet. The State of Qin cannot attack them too harshly or force them too hard.

If they push too hard and Qin becomes too powerful, other countries may unite to attack Qin.

This is inevitable and has happened too many times.

This was the invisible tacit understanding among the five states in Shandong: they could be fought but not destroyed, especially not destroyed by the Qin State.

This is also the fundamental reason why Ying Zheng actively adopted the means of forming alliances, instigating internal strife among the various countries, and gradually encroaching on the other side.

This time, Zhao State was still encouraged to be the main force. King Zhao Daoxiang was eager to establish his authority and would attack with all his heart. What's more, didn't he have Guo Kai's help?
This time, Qin is not in a hurry to capture the city. Its main purpose is to bleed Wei. The enclave in Hedong is the best target.

King Anxi of Wei would definitely not give up this land before he died. He would die with regret if he lost this land.

As he wishes, he won't eat it all, but he will continue to drain the blood of your entire Wei State.

In the past few years, various countries have been in conflict and the coalition has been in constant fighting. On the contrary, Qin has been accumulating national strength and developing in a low-key manner.

As one side grows stronger, the other side declines. The gap in national strength is already huge. By the time the Zhengguo Canal is completed, the overall situation in the world will have been determined and no one will be able to stop it!
After Wei Liao arrived in Zhao, King Zhao Daoxiang was indeed very enthusiastic. Under Wei Liao's careful planning, the two countries finalized all matters related to sending troops.

However, within just a few days, King Daoxiang of Zhao admired Wei Liao so much that he even invited Wei Liao to Zhao.

Uh, Wei Liao didn’t understand why he had such an outrageous idea.

After signing the treaty and settling the marriage alliance, Wei Liao hurried back to Qin.

I really don't want to stay here with this idiot for even a quarter of an hour. I'm really afraid that I'll become stupid if I stay with this idiot for too long.

At the same time that Wei Liao went to Zhao State, Ying Zheng had already begun his plan to stir up trouble in the world.

First it was Chu.

Mi Yun was deliberately summoned to have dinner together. Mi Yun was extremely happy. Since she became pregnant, it was not convenient for her to sleep with the Queen Mother. Ying Zheng was busy with government affairs and only visited her occasionally. Today, it was extremely rare for him to summon her to the Lan Chi to have dinner with the Queen Mother.

Mi Yun was extremely concerned about her child. She stayed in the palace every day to take good care of the baby and went out less often.

However, her longing for Ying Zheng grew stronger every day. Except for occasionally going to Queen Dowager Sangong's place to play mahjong, she spent the rest of her time thinking about Ying Zheng.

Also, Mi Yan would occasionally go and chat with her. Mi Yun had reminded Mi Yan several times in a roundabout way that she wanted her to return to Chu, but Mi Yan just turned a deaf ear to him, which made Mi Yun very angry, and he saw her less and less.

Mi Yun missed Ying Zheng every day, but she didn't dare to be spoiled. Without Ying Zheng's summons, she didn't dare to go to Lanchi Palace, let alone Zhangtai Palace. She could only think of her lord in her heart and wait for him.

Now that Ying Zheng rarely summoned her to accompany the Queen Mother for dinner, Mi Yun was naturally overjoyed.

Excited and happy, she was actively dressing up with a smile on her face. For the sake of the fetus in her belly, she did not dare to wear heavy makeup, but she still applied powder and makeup carefully.

The child is already three or four months old, and she is already showing signs of pregnancy, especially since Mi Yun has an extremely slender waist. So in order not to leave a bad impression on Ying Zheng and out of fear that Ying Zheng would be unhappy, Mi Yun deliberately wears a loose palace robe that covers her figure. She has thought of everything.

When Mi Yun arrived at the Lanchi Palace, Ying Zheng had not returned yet. Zhao Ji was playing mahjong with Han Lu Geng Ying. Because she often waited for Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji also prepared a set of mahjong in the Lanchi Palace.

Several people were having fun. For Hanlu, life in Qin State was much better than he had imagined. As the head of Ganquan Palace, he had a high status. On weekdays, Queen Mother Zhao had nothing bad to say about her. Queen Mother Zhao had a simple temperament, and the two of them were old acquaintances. He felt extremely comfortable in Ganquan Palace.

It is much better than Zhao State, with not so many social engagements and messy things.

Basically, I just accompanied Queen Dowager Zhao for fun every day. It’s really embarrassing to say it.

Xue Nu was even luckier. She was deeply loved by Queen Dowager Zhao, who raised her personally. The treatment of this little girl was no different from that of a princess.

I have to say that joining Queen Mother Zhao was the luckiest and most correct thing to do!

It was only after she had stayed in the Xianyang Palace for some time that Hanlu realized how powerful Queen Mother Zhao, whose life was so boring that she could only have fun every day, actually was, although she herself was not quite aware of it.

As long as Queen Mother Zhao is unhappy, no one can be happy. As long as Queen Mother Zhao likes something, it will definitely come true.

There is no doubt that in this Xianyang Palace, apart from the king, Queen Mother Zhao is the king, and of course, the king is also the king.

When Zhao Ji saw Mi Yun coming, she was very happy and went to hold Mi Yun's hand herself. Mi Yun hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Oh, don't be so polite, the child is the most important."

Zhao Ji personally took Mi Yun to sit down, stopped playing mahjong, and chatted with Mi Yun.

Geng Ying pushed the cards away and lay helplessly on the table. The Queen Mother was cheating again. My cards are too good in this round. I’m going to win!

Hanlu was laughing secretly on the side because she was likely to lose this round.

It has to be said that with Mi Yun's emotional intelligence and IQ, she is like a fish in water in this harem, especially in front of Zhao Ji, where she is so respectful and polite.

Since entering the palace, she has had a very close relationship with Zhao Ji and is very much loved by Zhao Ji. Now that she is pregnant, Zhao Ji values ​​her even more.

Just as the two of them had been talking for a long time, Ying Zheng finally arrived.

Seeing that Zhao Ji and Mi Yun were chatting happily, he asked with a smile: "What are you talking about so happily?"

Everyone saluted and Ying Zheng waved his hand casually.

Mi Yun hurriedly stood up to salute, and Ying Zheng stepped forward and held Mi Yun's green jade hand: "No need to be polite, be careful of the child."

Mi Yun felt sweet in her heart and nodded obediently: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng took Mi Yun to sit down together and looked at Zhao Ji: "Mother, let's eat quickly. I am a little hungry."

Zhao Ji rolled her eyes at him and sat down slowly.

While they were having dinner, Ying Zheng said, "Yun'er, I've been busy with state affairs lately and have had no time to visit you. I miss you so much that I summoned you today. Seeing that you look good, I feel relieved."

Mi Yun looked at Ying Zheng with her eyes full of infatuation and said in a soft voice, "I know that your Majesty is concerned about state affairs. Your Majesty puts state affairs first, and I understand. As long as your Majesty does not forget me, I will be satisfied just to see you occasionally." Her voice was beautiful and moving, and contained infinite affection.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "Nonsense, how could I forget Yun'er? Yun'er, please pay more attention to your daily life, take good care of yourself and our children, and go to the inner palace to spend money whenever you need anything."
