Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 74 Xu Lin Defeats Zhao Ji

Chapter 74 Xu Lin Defeats Zhao Ji (Additional Update)
Less than half an hour later.

Xu Lin arrived at Ganquan Palace.

Zhao Ji had already drunk a pot of wine at this time, her cheeks were rosy, her eyes were sparkling, and she looked very charming.

"Mr. Xu, you are finally here."

Zhao Ji looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Lin, her brows raised with joy.

Then he raised his hand to dismiss the people around him.

"I wonder why the Queen Mother suddenly summoned me here?"

Xu Lin took a few steps forward and asked in confusion.

After saying this, he poured himself a cup of tea.

Just as he was about to drink tea, Zhao Ji stopped him.

"That old villain, Lü Buwei, has been dismissed from his position as Prime Minister. I am in a very good mood."

"Sir, could you please have a few drinks with me?"

Zhao Ji asked with her eyes narrowed.

After saying that, without waiting for Xu Lin's consent, she leaned forward and personally poured Xu Lin a bottle of aged wine.

Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Xu Lin had no choice but to agree.

……

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Ji, who was wearing a purple phoenix skirt, couldn't help but burp.

Then she took off the outer veil and walked towards the phoenix couch with a twist of her waist.

"Sir, you have made great contributions to the affairs of Lü Buwei."

"I want to thank you!"

Zhao Ji's phoenix eyes were filled with smiles.

Then he patted the couch a few times and asked Xu Lin to sit over.

"It's just a small favor, Your Majesty, there's no need..."

Xu Lin said modestly.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Ji.

"Sir, there's no need to be so modest!"

Zhao Ji said seriously.

After she finished speaking, she closed the bamboo window, bolted the door, and lit the oil lamp and incense.

"Then I wonder how the Queen Mother plans to thank me?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile when he saw this.

"Sir, you can take a guess."

Zhao Ji suggested in a charming voice.

After saying that, she raised her white wrist and tied up her waist-length hair.

Then he rolled up his sleeves and sat down on the phoenix couch.

In the past, it was Hongzao or Chunhua who served her, but to express her gratitude, she will serve Xu Lin personally today!

"I can't guess."

Xu Lin shook his head.

Then he lay down on the phoenix couch.

"It's been a few days since summer began. Don't you feel hot, sir?"

Zhao Ji asked with her eyelashes curled.

Before she finished speaking, she placed her hand on Xu Lin's back.

Xu Lin had massaged her many times, and it was time for her to return the favor!

"Fortunately."

"For some reason, I suddenly feel a little sleepy. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, I'll take a nap."

Xu Lindao.

After saying this, without waiting for Zhao Ji's agreement, he closed his eyes and began to feel Zhao Ji's soft hands and hot body with his heart.

……

After half a stick of incense.

Xu Lin fell asleep.

After confirming that Xu Lin was asleep, Zhao Ji became more and more courageous.

It starts with a deep sniff, then a caress, then a light taste, and finally a sideways movement.

When Xu Lin woke up, Zhao Ji was getting better.

After feeling Xu Lin's gaze, she neither stopped nor covered Xu Lin's face with the quilt or clothes, but covered her own face.

At this moment, how could Zhao Ji still look like the queen mother?

Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled and began to cooperate with Zhao Ji.

……

More than an hour later.

The sun is setting in the west.

Xu Lin walked back with the help of the wall.

Looking at Xu Lin's back as he walked away, Zhao Ji smiled charmingly, picked up the wine jar, and drank the remaining rice wine in it.

After bathing and changing clothes, Zhao Ji gently stroked her red lips and called Hongzao over.

"Queen Mother."

"You're young again!"

Hongzao bowed and said.

"Really?"

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up when she heard that.

She also felt that she looked a lot younger, both in terms of her skin and complexion.

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, you look like a girl in her early twenties now."

"If Your Majesty, put on casual clothes and go out with me, others will definitely think I am the elder sister and you, Your Majesty, are the younger sister!"

Hongzao smiled sweetly and said flatteringly.

"You are taking advantage of me, right?" Zhao Ji pretended to be angry when she heard that.

"My subordinates dare not!"

Hongzao immediately shook his head.

Then you have to kneel down on one knee and apologize.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji waved her hand, indicating that she was just joking and not to take it seriously.

"What just happened is known to me, Mr. Xu, and you. I don't want a fourth person to know!"

Zhao Ji, who was lying on the phoenix couch, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of warm tea, and gave the order in a cold voice.

She didn't care about it and let it spread, after all, Queen Dowager Xuan also had a "face-to-face lover".

But Xu Lin is now the deputy commander of the Shadow Secret Guard. If this matter gets out, it will do more harm than good to Mr. Xu, so it is better not to let anyone know!

So Zhao Ji did this for Xu Lin's sake!

"promise!"

Hongzao immediately accepted the order.

Then he turned and left the bedroom.

……

the other side.

Xu Lin just got home.

Li Ji, who was practicing sword in the courtyard, looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xu Lin looking haggard and in very poor condition, with a hint of worry in her watery eyes.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Li Ji immediately put away her sword, took two steps at a time and came to Xu Lin, asking anxiously.

After saying that, she helped Xu Lin to the bedroom.

"It doesn't matter."

"Just a little tired."

"Just take a nap and you'll be fine!"

Xu Lin waved his hand.

Zhao Ji was naturally gifted and had endured for so many years, so even Xu Lin was defeated repeatedly.

"gentlemen."

"Should I go find you a healer?"

Li Ji let Xu Lin lie on her legs and asked softly.

She is completely different now than usual!

Li Ji is usually very heroic, so when has she ever been so gentle?

Li Ji is now like a gentle older sister.

"Need not."

"Ganquan Palace is full of masters. I just had a sparring match with someone and was almost defeated by her, but I'm not injured, just a little tired."

Xu Lin shook his head.

Then he used Li Ji's legs as a pillow and began to rest.

After seeing this scene, Li Ji wanted to say something but stopped herself.

After Xu Lin fell asleep, Li Ji carefully helped Xu Lin take off his clothes.

Then he covered Xu Lin with a brocade quilt.

Xu Lin was sleeping soundly, with his hands and feet very still.

Li Ji has known Xu Lin for so long, but this is the first time she sees Xu Lin so tired!
After a brief pause, she held up Xu Lin's head with one hand and rolled up her skirt with the other.

Although the hem of her skirt is of good quality, it feels a bit uncomfortable when you use it as a pillow.

"It seems you are not invincible!"

After more than ten breaths, Li Ji saw that Xu Lin was sleeping soundly and smiled.

After she finished speaking, she saw that Xu Lin's lips were very dry, so she turned around, picked up the kettle beside her, took a sip of warm tea, and then helped Xu Lin moisten his lips.

……

The next day.

Xu Lin slept until the setting sun turned blood-red.

"Sir, you are finally awake."

"If you don't wake up, my legs will break!"

Li Ji complained upon seeing this.

At this moment, she has returned to her former coldness.

After saying that, she moved Xu Lin's head onto the pillow.

Then he turned over and got out of bed, limping away.

Looking at Li Ji's embarrassed figure walking further and further away, Xu Lin smiled indifferently.

Then I got out of bed, washed up quickly and ate something.

After eating and drinking his fill, he rode his horse to the garrison.
