The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 379: Giving Gifts, Who Can't Do That? (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

Unexpectedly, the right Sima Li Kai was defeated and killed. Not long after, the entire villa was looted by thieves and the entire family was killed.

The only people left in the entire Huoyu Villa were my sister, myself, and a baby in swaddling clothes.

Liu Yi, the left Sima of Han, was also interested in the elder sister. The elder sister made a prompt decision and secretly entrusted the child to an ordinary family in Han and married Liu Yi, thus saving the lives of the two sisters.

Liu Yi was not a good person. The two sisters had lost everything at that time. If the elder sister had not acted decisively, Liu Yi would have used force. If that had been the case, the two sisters and their child would have been dead.

My sister gave herself to Liu Yi all for my sake. I was only eight years old at that time, and it was all thanks to my sister's care that I have a future.

With Liu Yi watching over her, her sister didn't dare to go see the child, for fear that Liu Yi would do something cruel. He was someone who could do such a thing.

The sister could only keep an eye on them secretly, but unfortunately, due to frequent wars, the family was separated within a few years. Because of herself, the sister and her children were also separated.

As time passed, Liu Yi became more and more cold towards his sister, and as he got older, the way Liu Yi looked at him became more and more strange.

In order to protect herself and the two sisters, the elder sister induced Liu Yi to offer herself to Han An, who was the crown prince at the time.

For the sake of his own future, Liu Yi agreed without hesitation.

Fortunately, since becoming the prince's favorite concubine, the situation of the two sisters has finally improved a lot, and Liu Yi is as polite to his elder sister as he was at the beginning.

I can finally help my sister.

In the past, my sister always protected me, but now I can finally protect my sister too.

My sister and I, one the insider and the other the outsider, finally had our lives back on track. It was a pity that we had no children.

Serving men with your beauty is not a long-term solution.

But now it's obviously over, everything is out of control, everything is messed up.

Now I still have to rely on my sister to give me some advice, but I’m afraid she can’t do anything about it.

This pair of hibiscus flowers sitting side by side, holding each other's hands, is so beautiful.

Lady Hu sighed, "Sister, something terrible has happened. Qin and Han are forming a marriage alliance, and the King of Qin wants to marry Princess Honglian. In order to have someone take care of Princess Honglian in the King of Qin's harem, the King asked Madam Mingzhu and I to fake our own deaths, and then accompany Princess Honglian to Qin together."

Mrs. Hu knew that her sister came to see her, which meant that the matter must have been settled.

He frowned slightly: "If things have already been decided, then there is nothing we can do."

"Aren't you very favored by the King of Han? How could the King of Han be willing to let you go? Moreover, he doesn't care about the affairs of the previous dynasty at all."

Lady Hu shook her head slightly: "Sister, you don't know, the king is not so stupid and incompetent. The king's demeanor yesterday was completely different, very wise and shrewd."

"A few women are nothing. Those who achieve great things don't care about small matters."

Madam Hu sighed and said, "After all, he is the King of Han. He still has a broad mind and vision."

Then he asked, "Wait a minute, are you saying that Madam Mingzhu is the same as you? Then the king went to find Madam Mingzhu first, right?"

Lady Hu nodded slightly.

Madam Hu nodded and said, "That's right. It seems that Madam Mingzhu is also closely involved with the previous dynasty."

"And the people who are more involved than Liu Yi are only those few. It seems that you have been implicated."

"It is true that the king helped Princess Honglian find helpers, and it is also true that he cleaned up the harem."

After Mrs. Hu figured it out, she sighed: "It seems there is really no room for maneuver."

Lady Hu probably understood, and said sadly, "Sister, the king did not give me the room to refuse, and the king is also using you to hold me hostage."

Mrs. Hu nodded: "I understand, that is inevitable."

"Madam Mingzhu is of noble birth and has a large family. We are not afraid that she will not obey us. As for you, we are the only sisters who depend on each other. I will definitely use me to hold you hostage."

Lady Hu said worriedly, "Sister, if I leave, you will be with Liu Yi. What will we do?"

Madam Hu smiled and comforted Lady Hu: "Sister, don't worry about me. I will be fine in the short term. The king will never let anything happen to me."

"As for the future, sister will still rely on you."

"If you can make a name for yourself in the Qin King's harem, then my sister will be fine."

"If it's hard to make a living in the Qin King's harem, then it won't be a big deal for my sister."

"No matter how bad it is, at worst I can be divorced by Liu Yi and live the life of an ordinary citizen. That's fine."

Lady Hu knew that her sister's words of comfort were not reliable. Given Liu Yi's character, he would not let her sister off so easily.

Madam Hu said worriedly, "Sister is more worried about you. You have no one to rely on in Qin State, and Princess Honglian doesn't like you. More importantly, you have Madam Mingzhu by your side. Sigh, what can you do?"

Lady Hu smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. Princess Honglian is just a little girl. She is just spoiled and willful. She is actually a very good person. It's easy for her to deal with a little girl."

"As for Madam Mingzhu, she is a smart woman. She will know that we are friends, not enemies."

"When we get to Qin, as long as Princess Honglian can see the King of Qin often, my sister will always have a chance."

Lady Hu comforted her sister and smiled charmingly: "The King of Qin is also a man. As long as he is a man, I don't believe that he doesn't like his sister."

Mrs. Hu caressed Lady Hu's pretty face and forced a smile, "With my sister's beauty, which man would not like her?"

"Sister, you must take good care of yourself. Don't worry about me. Trust me. I can take good care of myself."

Lady Hu hugged Madam Hu, unable to hold back any longer, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Sister, I will, and you must take good care of yourself too."

Mrs. Hu couldn't help but hug her sister and cry silently.

The troubled times are cruel to everyone, men and women alike. The sisters are better than 99% of the people in the world, but they still wander around all their lives, helpless, and this is just a trivial tragedy in the troubled times.

After Mrs. Hu returned home, she told Liu Yi that Concubine Hu was going to the State of Qin, and Liu Yi also understood why he was promoted to the position of Right Sima today.

Liu Yi just nodded, said nothing, and fell into deep thought.

Is the king trying to appease himself or Ji Wuye?
Liu Yi also passed this news to Ji Wuye.

By night, Ji Wuye had obtained all the information through various channels.

It is undeniable that this efficiency and ability are already extremely amazing.

But unfortunately, Ji Wuye was still the last to know.

Ji Wuye slammed a cup, asked everyone to leave, and forced himself to calm down quickly.

The two nails planted in the King's harem have been pulled out, and at the moment, it seems that these two nails are not considered their own nails.

At least not such a controlled nail.

Today, the king promoted Liu Yi to the position of Right Sima and ordered the Fourth Prince to temporarily take over as Left Sima. This arrangement is quite meaningful.

I knew that the king was no simple person, but I never expected that his methods were so sophisticated.

It doesn’t matter, we can always arrange new people in the harem.

However, you really gave this general a reminder that it won't work if there are people in the front court but no one in the harem.

If you prepare a retreat for yourself in advance, then this general can do the same.

It is better to leave a good impression on the future king.

Gifts should be given in advance; it will be too late to give gifts after the matter is done.

Ji Wuye shouted: "Mo Ya, where is Yingge now?"

Mo Ya appeared quietly and said respectfully: "General, Yingge just came back from Chu to report on his work and is now in Xinzheng."

"Tell her to come to me immediately."

Mo Ya lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, General."

When Mo Ya found Ying Ge and told her about this, Ying Ge sighed softly: "I have a bad feeling in my heart."

Although he spoke with a sigh and there was sadness in his tone, his voice was beautiful and pleasant, with the sounds of forests and springs. He was truly as his name suggests, with the sound of dancing swallows and singing orioles, which was pleasing to the ears.

Mo Ya replied calmly: "Isn't it like this every day for people in our line of work?"

Yingge asked, "Do you know what it is?"

Mo Ya replied: "It's probably not a good thing."

Yingge rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "I hope you can talk less nonsense in the future. This is really annoying."

The two of them quickly rushed to Ji Wuye. Ji Wuye laughed when he saw Yingge and asked Mo Ya to retreat.

Mo Ya looked at Yingge silently, his eyes moved slightly, and he retreated quietly.

Yingge felt even more uneasy.

"Keep your head up."

Ji Wuye’s sudden words shocked Yingge’s heart.

Yingge slowly raised his head, but did not dare to look directly at Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye looked at Yingge carefully and thought: She is indeed a rare beauty, but a little too boring.

Ji Wuye slowly said, "Yingge, how does this general treat you?"

Yingge quickly knelt on one knee and said firmly: "The general has been very kind to me. If I hadn't been adopted by the general, I would have died without a burial place."

Ji Wuye laughed: "Get up, stop kneeling down all the time."

Yingge stood up carefully, and Ji Wuye continued, "I have carefully trained you over the years, so some of the processes have been difficult and arduous, but this is all for your own good. You must know that jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished."

"I understand the general's painstaking efforts and am grateful for his hard work in training me. Without the general, I would not be where I am today."

Ji Wuye nodded with satisfaction: "Now I have one last task for you."

"Or rather, it's not a mission, but an opportunity for you, a chance to truly succeed and enjoy your own life."

Yingge was no longer feeling uneasy; he was simply terrified.

Can Ji Wuye still do such a good thing? What good thing can he think of for his subordinates?

Yingge replied carefully: "Thank you, General, but I don't need such an opportunity. Being able to be loyal to you forever is what I hope for most!"

Ji Wuye laughed loudly: "Good, very good, I have never doubted your loyalty to me."

"But only you can do this."

"Princess Honglian is going to marry the King of Qin. This general will arrange for you to join Princess Honglian's dowry maid team."

"What you have to do is very simple. That is to use Princess Honglian to climb onto King Qin's bed. Other than that, you don't have to do anything else. This general will not instruct you to do anything in the future."
