The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 373 Cousin, Seize This Opportunity

Ji Wuye laughed dryly twice: "I also agree with what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said."

"Being on good terms with Qin is a good thing after all, and marrying into Qin's family is even better. The Suihou Pearl is the greatest treasure in the world, so Han still gets the upper hand."

Bai Yifei echoed: "What you said is reasonable, and I agree with it."

Only Han Fei was extremely anxious. He gritted his teeth and was about to speak, but Han Wangan waved his hand and said, "It's settled then. No need to say anything more."

"Prime Minister, you should discuss the specific matters with the Qin envoy."

Zhang Kaidi's face was heavy with anger. "I obey your order."

Well, everyone has good ideas, but whether Qin State agrees or not is another matter.

Anyway, let’s talk about it first.

After everyone left, Han Fei asked to see King Han An alone.

Before Han Fei started, Han Wangan took the lead and said, "Old Nine, there is no need to say anything. Your father knows why you came here, and your thoughts are also known by your father."

"Father is reluctant to marry Honglian to the Qin Kingdom, and she can only be a concubine of the King of Qin."

"Father also knows that the Qin King's harem is complicated. With Honglian's personality, she will inevitably suffer some grievances if she enters the Qin King's harem."

"Father knows all this."

Han Fei's face was filled with sorrow: "Father."

Han Wangan sighed and said, "You should understand what father wants to say."

"Not to mention South Korea, no country or person in the world can refuse the King of Qin."

"Han is just a small stumbling block for Qin. Under the attack of Qin, the late king and I endured humiliation and became Qin's vassal state, just to give Qin no reason to attack Han."

"The year before last, the six kingdoms united to attack Qin. The previous king made a last-ditch effort, but still failed."

"You also know how heavy the price is."

"Han State is vulnerable to Qin State. Now Yan State and Zhao State are exhausted and weak. Wei State is even more unable to take care of itself. Chu State has already moved its capital to avoid Qin State's attack."

"If Qin wants to attack Han, we won't even have a helper."

"Do you think that your father is unaware of the general trend of the world? Do you think that all the ministers in the court are not aware of it?"

"Do you know how many people in this court, both civil and military, have already been involved with the Qin State?"

"Don't think about being the first to go against Qin. Now we can only delay. If there are problems within Qin and the situation in the world changes drastically, then South Korea will have a chance to survive."

Han Fei was speechless because these were facts, and facts cannot be refuted.

Han Wangan consoled her again, "And this may not be a bad thing for Honglian. The King of Qin is a noble man. For Honglian to enter the King of Qin's harem, whether she is favored or not, is the best destination for her."

"If I can give birth to another child for the King of Qin, then Honglian will never have any more pain or misfortune in her life."

"No matter what the final fate of South Korea is, Honglian is the concubine of King Qin after all. Maybe one day, we will have to rely on Honglian to survive."

"Father knows that you are worried that Honglian will be bullied in the Qin King's harem. Father has already made plans for this, so you don't have to worry."

Han Fei closed his eyes and sighed, feeling as if he had lost all his strength and everything was so powerless.

He even felt a little regretful. Perhaps he should really have listened to his teacher's advice.

"Old Nine, go tell Honglian about this. Also, Qin Envoy Li Si is your fellow disciple, so you should go meet him. If you rely on the Prime Minister alone, it may not be easy for Qin Envoy to accept it."

Han Fei bowed and said, "I obey your order."

As soon as Han Fei left, Bai Yifei entered the hall and the two passed each other.

After Bai Yifei greeted him, Han Wangan asked, "Marquis Xueyi, what else do you want?"

Bai Yifei replied: "Your Majesty, please ask your attendants to leave. I have something secret to report to you."

Han Wangan waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

"Go ahead."

"I have some concerns about the marriage with Qin, but I am too rude. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Han Wangan narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed, "Speak frankly, Marquis Xueyi, I will forgive you."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, the marriage with Qin is a good thing for Han. Given the temperament of the King of Qin, as long as Qin is not given a chance after the marriage, Qin will definitely not have any ideas about Han in the short term."

Han Wangan nodded.

Bai Yifei continued, "I know that the king has always favored Princess Honglian the most, but there is one thing that the king must worry about."

"Princess Honglian is still young and innocent. The situation in King Qin's harem is complicated. With the princess's experience, if she is not careful, good things will inevitably turn into bad things."

"The laws of Qin are strict and the rules are severe. I suggest that Your Majesty select some smart and clever beauties from the harem who are well versed in harem disputes and send them to Qin as helpers of Princess Honglian, so that Princess Honglian will not be alone and suffer persecution."

"If we can help Princess Honglian gain the favor of King Qin, it will be a good thing for Han." Han Wangan nodded and smiled, "Marquis Xueyi is indeed thoughtful. I know about this and I will seriously consider it."

After Bai Yifei left, King Han An sighed quietly and said, this is the Korea of ​​today.

After leaving the palace, Bai Yifei immediately found a secluded place, changed his clothes, and secretly entered the palace to meet Madam Mingzhu.

Madam Mingzhu was wearing a tight dress that reached her chest, and she was extremely charming. She was quite surprised to see Bai Yifei, and dismissed her personal maid. She asked with a smile, "Cousin, why did you suddenly come to see me?"

Bai Yifei said slowly: "Cousin, you know that the King of Qin is going to form an alliance with South Korea, right?"

Madam Mingzhu smiled and said, "Of course I know. That willful little girl who always goes against me, I will finally not see her this time. It's really a good thing."

Bai Yifei glanced at Madam Mingzhu and said, "No, you have to see her every day in the future."

Madam Mingzhu's smile disappeared, and she put down the spices she was mixing, frowning slightly: "What do you mean?"

Bai Yifei said calmly: "You are going to Qin State too."

Madam Mingzhu's face also turned cold.

"Cousin, you might as well make your words clearer."

Bai Yifei stared at Madam Mingzhu: "We don't have much time left in Korea. Why? Are you so attached to the position of a small Korean madam?"

Madam Mingzhu sneered: "You were the ones who sent me here in the first place, and now you are the ones who want me to leave."

"Then what are my efforts over the past few years worth?"

Bai Yifei said calmly: "Cousin, the situation is different now."

"It's meaningless for you to stay in the Korean harem. Sooner or later, Korea will be destroyed. When that happens, you can only be treated as a trophy. At that time, you will only be passive. Now, you have a new choice."

Madam Mingzhu said coldly: "What choice? Follow that little girl into Qin? And with what identity?"

Bai Yifei said, "I have just informed the king to select someone with wisdom and courage from the harem to accompany Princess Honglian to Qin. You have to find a way to get the king to send you along."

"With your skills, you will eventually be able to make a name for yourself in the Qin King's harem. Qin is not comparable to Han, and there will be a bigger future for you."

Madam Mingzhu snorted, "Who doesn't know that the King of Qin has countless beauties in his harem? Who doesn't know the name of Princess Qiancheng? The Princess of Zhao used the Heshi Bi as her dowry. Why should I compare with her?"

"Cousin, I'm not a little girl anymore! I'm already twenty-six years old, ten years older than Honglian!"

"Besides, I accompanied Honglian into the palace. She is a princess, so what am I? Her maid?"

"Even if I climb into the King of Qin's bed, I'll be nothing more than a plaything at best."

Bai Yifei glanced at Madam Mingzhu calmly and said, "But your actual identity is the King of Han's Madam Mingzhu."

"The king has not appointed a queen since his wife died. Now the throne is vacant. You are the first concubine in the King of Han's harem."

"After entering Qin, you can reveal your identity. You can't hide it from the King of Qin anyway. On the contrary, your identity will interest the King of Qin."

Madam Mingzhu sneered, "Men's bad taste."

"But even so, what does it matter? Aren't you still the King of Qin's plaything?"

"Cousin, with your skills, as long as you have the opportunity, are you still afraid of not being favored?"

"Besides, your identity plus that of Princess Honglian will surely make King Qin more interested."

Mrs. Mingzhu snorted and did not comment.

He asked back, "Cousin, when I leave, no one will help you refine your Gu."

"Besides, what good will it do you if you try so hard to persuade me? Does General Ji know about it?"

Bai Yifei replied: "Don't worry about the Gu, I will think of another way."

"As for Ji Wuye, don't worry about him. You have to know that we are family."

Bai Yifei looked around to make sure there was no one around and whispered, "Now that things have come to this, I'll tell you the truth. Two years ago, I voted for Prime Minister Lu. No one knows about this yet, not even Ji Wuye."

"Han is no longer viable. I have met the King of Qin. With his ability and the prosperity of Qin, Qin will surely conquer the world."

"My Bai family has been noble for generations, and it must not be destroyed in my hands."

Madam Mingzhu's eyes were startled, and she laughed, "It seems that I have to go?"

Bai Yifei advised: "This is also for the sake of our two families' wealth. Are we really going to live and die together with South Korea?"

"And don't worry, don't worry that the King of Qin doesn't care about you. My Bai family controls half of the troops of Han. If Qin destroys Han, we will be of great use. Even if it's just for this, as long as you serve well, the King of Qin will give you a status."

Madam Mingzhu's mind raced. She naturally understood this truth. If she had really surrendered to the Qin State, then the best decision would be to quickly board the Qin ship.

Who wants to live and die with South Korea? Is it possible that you really have any feelings for the King of South Korea?
The Bai family is a big family in the Kingdom of Han and holds military power. In any case, they are of great use to the State of Qin. Entering the palace is also a token of her allegiance to the King of Qin, and the King of Qin will definitely not refuse.

I can’t believe that my cousin had already defected to the Qin State.
