The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

For a moment, Mi Lian was caught in a dilemma.

……

Just after Cao Yuan successfully obtained the bronze treasure box, the Moon Goddess told Donghuang Taiyi about Cao Yuan's refusal and return of the bronze treasure box.

"Is that so..."

Donghuang Taiyi's voice was unreadable, revealing neither joy nor anger.

But his tone gave the impression that everything was under his control.

For a powerful figure like him, the only ones worthy of his attention in the entire world are those old fellows of the same realm.

The rest are nothing but ants.

The Moon Goddess dared not say more, but simply stood there waiting for Donghuang Taiyi to continue.

Regardless of whether the bronze box can be retrieved from the Yin-Yang School, she will inevitably be punished, even though she is a protector of the Yin-Yang School.

"Take me to see him tomorrow. I want to see just how arrogant this young man praised by Xun Qing really is."

After Donghuang Taiyi finished speaking, he turned and left.

Seeing this, the Moon Goddess breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she also felt a little worried.

It's unclear whether he was worried about his future or whether the cult leader would slap Cao Yuan to death.

Although that petty thief was despicable, she had no intention of killing him.

No matter what, he was the first person his senior sister had ever fallen for.

late at night.

Cao Yuan took out the bronze treasure box he had obtained from the Changping Lord's residence and placed it on the table.

Zi Nu Yan Ling Ji and the three female marquises all had their eyes light up when they saw the bronze treasure box.

After all, they had already experienced the feeling of their cultivation level rising like a rocket last night, so they were naturally still eager for more.

Then the three women looked at Cao Yuan with burning eyes.

After all, Cao Yuan was the only person in the entire world capable of opening the bronze box.

Cao Yuan cleared his throat and said, "We can't open it yet. We just improved our strength last night, and we need at least one or two months to consolidate it."

Upon hearing this, the three women all nodded in agreement.

They were all cultivators who had undergone long periods of practice, so they naturally understood the principle that haste makes waste.

Since we already have the bronze box and it's not going anywhere, there's no rush.

Overjoyed at having obtained another bronze treasure box, the four of them shared a bed and slept together all night.

The next day, it was just past dawn.

Cao Yuan, who was almost completely drained, met Zhao Gao, who came out of Ganquan Palace to find him.

"Sir, the Empress Dowager has been missing you dearly these past few days. Please come with me to the palace to meet her."

Zhao Gao spoke elegantly, but Cao Yuan knew that Zhao Ji was thinking of his precious darling again.

Fortunately, he has now broken through to the Celestial Realm, and he has already recovered a lot of his energy on the way to Ganquan Palace with Zhao Gao.

With his current strength and condition, as long as he doesn't indulge in excessive sexual activity continuously, he can satisfy all his wives and still have money to spare.

While Cao Yuan was having fun with Zhao Ji at Ganquan Palace, Yue Shen, who was racking her brains about how to find Cao Yuan, suddenly received information from her disciples that they had seen Cao Yuan go to Ganquan Palace.

Upon hearing this news, the Moon Goddess immediately informed Donghuang Taiyi.

"Oh? You went to Ganquan Palace?"

Donghuang Taiyi made a slight deduction of the hexagram.

Seeing that he could not calculate Cao Yuan's situation, he turned his divination to Zhao Ji.

After a few breaths, Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but laugh.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager recently visited the Yin Yang School and forced you to apologize to Cao Yuan. This is a good opportunity for you to come with me and take a look."

The divination result just now indicates that yin and yang are in harmony, and that men and women are in perfect harmony.

In other words, the Empress Dowager's summoning of Cao Yuan to the palace this time was most likely for matters of the heart.

So, things got interesting.

Chapter 159 Running Away with Brother Zheng and Mom

"Empress Dowager, is this exciting or not? Is it good?!"

"Hit, really hit!"

……

"Alas! This won't work, it won't work, it's no good..."

Joyful and cheerful sounds echoed above Ganquan Palace.

After Zhao Ji was influenced by Cao Yuan's Xinzheng dialect, she completely let herself go.

Zhangtai Palace.

While Cao Yuan and Zhao Ji were handling matters, Donghuang Taiyi met with the King of Qin alone.

"Your Excellency has come to see me so suddenly, is there something important to discuss?"

Donghuang Taiyi calmly said, "On a whim, I deduced the secrets of heaven and suddenly gained some insight."

Ying Zheng put down his pen, a strange expression on his face, and said, "I would like to hear the details."

He didn't really believe in ghosts and gods.

However, when Donghuang Taiyi needed help the most, he brought the Yin-Yang School to Qin and declared his allegiance to him.

In addition, he learned from Gai Nie that Donghuang Taiyi was one of the top masters in the martial arts world and was skilled in astrological divination.

Even if he is not interested in ghosts and gods, he will choose to listen patiently.

Donghuang Taiyi said quietly, "The secrets of heaven have not been clearly revealed. All I can say is that the Palace of Compassion and Longevity is a place where fortune and misfortune are intertwined."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was taken aback at first, and then his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The Palace of Compassion and Longevity.

In the Qin state, both Cigong and Shougong were elegant names for the residence of the Empress Dowager.

"Does the Eastern Emperor mean that the Empress Dowager is in danger?" Ying Zheng asked with a stern face.

Donghuang Taiyi shook his head slightly, "The secrets of heaven are not revealed, so I dare not speak rashly."

He naturally wouldn't spell it out.

He didn't directly tell Ying Zheng the Yin-Yang hexagrams he had initially calculated.

The best outcome would be for Ying Zheng to personally catch the adulterers.

Of course, this was not his primary goal; it was merely a side effect.

He deduced the divination results of the Empress Dowager and discovered that Zhao Ji might be having an affair with Cao Yuan. He also found that whether Ying Zheng could successfully seize power seemed to be greatly related to Zhao Ji.

Although Ying Zheng was young, he was not stupid.

He saw that Donghuang Taiyi spoke tactfully, yet showed no sign of impatience, remaining calm and composed.

It is clear that the mother is not in danger, but rather there is another situation.

Ying Zheng immediately thought of Lü Buwei.

His already gloomy face became even gloomier.

Although he was restrained by Lü Buwei from a young age, it does not mean that he had no sources of intelligence.

He had already heard about Lü Buwei and his mother.

Not to mention when Cheng Jiao rebelled and issued a proclamation claiming that he was Lü Buwei's illegitimate son.

Given all these factors, it's hard for him not to overthink it.

Donghuang Taiyi accompanied King Ying Zheng of Qin to Ganquan Palace.

Ying Zheng's face was grim, and his expression was menacing.

"Master of the Eastern Emperor Sect, if any villains are found in the Empress Dowager's palace and attempt to harm her, kill them on the spot!"

He realized that this might be an opportunity.

Donghuang Taiyi was a top master in the martial arts world, and was revered as one of the Five Greats.

According to Gai Nie, Donghuang Taiyi's strength is comparable to his teacher's, and he is now very likely to have the strength of the Celestial Realm.

Therefore, he thought that killing Lü Buwei would not be difficult if he was prepared to do so.

Afterwards, he directly announced it to the public, completely accusing Lü Buwei of the crime of defiling the palace.

Once Lü Buwei dies and this crime is proven, Lü's faction will surely fall apart.

If he could show leniency and punish Lü Buwei leniently to win over the hearts of the people, even if Lü Buwei died, it would not have a significant impact on the Qin state.

After all, as long as he kills Lü Buwei, it will be legitimate and justifiable.

The only downside is that the mother's reputation will be damaged.

But compared to the great cause of the Qin state, what is this?

Not to mention the mother's reputation to begin with...

With a jumble of thoughts, Ying Zheng quickly arrived outside Ganquan Palace.

At the same time Ying Zheng appeared, Zhao Gao, who was guarding the gate of Ganquan Palace with his six sword slaves, immediately became alert and was about to go in to inform Zhao Ji and Cao Yuan.

To Zhao Gao's shock, he had only just turned around when it felt as if a heavy weight had been placed on him, making it impossible for him to move.

This… Zhao Gao turned his neck with difficulty to look at the Six Sword Slaves, who were also unable to move due to the pressure, and the black-clad man behind Ying Zheng.

He had just broken through to the Grandmaster level and thought he would be hard-pressed to stand against anyone in the world, but today he encountered a powerful figure who could suppress him and render him unable to move simply by mobilizing the power of heaven and earth.

It's Donghuang Taiyi... Zhao Gao recalled the information about Donghuang Taiyi. With such terrifying strength, who else could it be but the leader of the Yin Yang School?
