People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Could this be an unknown side effect of the cheat system?

He clearly remembered how infatuated the Empress Dowager was with him when he first used his cheat-like abilities.

It's exactly the same as it is now.

……

Chapter 193 A Blessed Person

At this moment, the Empress Dowager was on the verge of tears.

What exactly happened?

Her reason told her that she couldn't have fun with Cao Ze right now.

But her body's instincts led her to unconsciously flirt with Cao Ze.

Torn between reason and instinct, she felt a surge of urge to go crazy and have a good fight with Cao Ze.

Cao Ze's lips moved slightly as he whispered in the Queen's ear, "Your Majesty, please restrain yourself."

The empress's beautiful face was tense, her pearly teeth were clenched, and she dared not make a sound, for fear of losing control.

Cao Ze pondered for a moment, then transmitted his voice, "Does the Queen have some uncontrollable impulse? If so, lower your head."

Upon hearing this, the Empress lowered her head slightly.

Cao Ze felt somewhat troubled.

He had previously noticed that the closer the Empress Dowager was to him, the more likely she was to want to do things with him.

I didn't feel anything in the past, since we would spend only a short time together before starting tunnel excavation.

He naturally didn't pay much attention to this insignificant side effect of the cheat system.

It even made him quite proud, thinking that he had the potential to become a succubus.

but now……

Cao Ze began with a simple analysis.

At Zhao Qian's speed, it would take at least another half hour.

What if the queen loses control of her instincts...?

Cao Ze took a deep breath, realizing he needed to think of a way to get the Empress to leave.

He moved his lips slightly and transmitted his voice: "The Queen claims to be ill, suffering from a headache and dizziness, and requests my company."

The Queen gently covered her forehead with her hand, suppressing her inner turmoil, and said, "Your Majesty, I seem to be suffering from a headache and feel a little dizzy..."

Seeing that the woman's face was flushed and her eyes were glazed, Zhao Yan said, "Han Cang, go and summon Physician Li."

The Empress said, "Your Majesty need not send Physician Li. I will go back and rest for a while."

Zhao Yan hummed in agreement, "Then let the Prime Minister..."

The Empress Dowager quickly replied, "Your Excellency is preoccupied with important matters and official duties. It would be best if Mr. Cao Ze accompanied me back to the palace."

Guo Kai's gaze swept over Cao Ze and the Empress Dowager, and a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth. These two scoundrels really aren't afraid of getting themselves killed.

He could only play a supporting role, saying, "Your Majesty, we still need to discuss state affairs later."

Zhao Yan thought about it and realized that he did need to discuss the upcoming Qin attack on Wei with Guo Kai, so he agreed.

Cao Ze breathed a sigh of relief and gave Guo Kai an appreciative look.

Guo Kai pretended not to see it, turning his face away.

As a capable minister of the Great Zhao, the Prime Minister who will make the Great Zhao great again, how could he be ruined by you two despicable people?

But soon, Guo Kai realized that he had been careless.

Cao Ze hadn't gone very far.

Afterwards, his legs and feet were already weak.

She instinctively grabbed Cao Ze's arm.

He said weakly, "Sir, I can't go on, I'm going to die..."

Cao Ze quickly glanced around, somewhat alarmed, and helped the empress into the rockery with its flowers and plants to hide her.

Although it's a dozen or so feet away from Zhao Yan's place, the weather is clear and bright now, so it's easy to see each other.

I almost got killed by that bastard.

Afterwards, he was in a daze, mumbling incoherently and uttering nonsensical words.

"Quickly, now, sir, I..."

Cao Ze frowned as he looked at the courtesan who was about to undress, and took a deep breath.

You have to bear the consequences of your own actions, even if it means shedding tears.

We need to hurry, there are quite a few people here, and if even one blind fool sees this...

Cao Ze acted decisively, directly pulling up the empress's skirt.

Without saying a word, I started working.

Guo Kai stood calmly under the pavilion, as steady as an old dog.

If Zhao Qian can leave a good impression on Zhao Yan as a promising talent, he is confident that he can put Zhao Qian on the throne as crown prince in the shortest possible time.

After a cup of tea, just as he was pondering his next plan, he suddenly looked blankly at something a few dozen meters away.

...Cao Ze?

His eyes widened in surprise.

Cao Ze smiled helplessly; he had no choice but to bring the Empress back first.

If they were to show themselves now, within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they would surely be noticed by those with ulterior motives, and even by Zhao Yan himself.

So when a flash of inspiration struck, he had a flash of inspiration.

So they led the others back first.

Zhao Yan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them when he heard a noise.

The woman held her forehead with one hand, partially obscuring her rosy cheeks and her beautiful eyes, which were brimming with the promise of spring.

"Your Majesty, I forgot my things here. Please forgive me."

Zhao Yan noticed that the Empress was holding a long jade pendant with red tassels in her other hand. It looked vaguely familiar and seemed to be a token of love that he had given to the Empress years ago.

However, the red tassels seemed to have turned somewhat white, which must have been due to the passage of time.

"Your Majesty, please rest early and take good care of yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cao Ze kept his eyes down and his mind focused; in front of Zhao Yan, his acting skills were always quite good.

Zhao Qian glanced at it, snorted, and continued copying.

Guo Kai watched Cao Ze and the hostess leave, speechless.

He didn't need to think to know what Cao Ze and the Empress were doing inside the artificial hill.

He glanced at Zhao Yan, who was still resting with his eyes closed, with a hint of pity.

This woman, the Empress, is even worse than the prostitutes in the brothels…

He shook his head slightly, hoping that he wouldn't be ruined in the palace by these two scoundrels.

After Cao Ze and his companion left Hefeng Pond, the Empress Dowager breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Sir, you really have a way."

She slowly extended her delicate hand that was tightly gripping the jade pendant.

The jade pendant also has many fine tassel strands stuck to it.

This jade pendant was a token of love given to her by Zhao Yan, and also a symbol of her status in the harem, so she always wore it.

Cao Ze didn't get the direction right just now because he was in a hurry.

It accidentally got on the queen's jade pendant and tassels.

Jade pendants are easy to handle, but tassels are difficult.

Furthermore, this is the only thing the Empress can readily obtain; it's hard to say what she might have lost.

Having no other choice, Changhou had to listen to Cao Ze. Taking advantage of Zhao Yan's inattention, she held the tassel jade pendant in her hand and pretended to drop it.

As a result, she now possesses many unspeakable things.

Cao Ze gave the Empress a perfunctory reply, and after settling her in at Chunqing Palace, he returned to Hefeng Pond feeling refreshed.

If only the Empress Dowager had just honestly become a sex toy.

He treated it like he was raising a dog.

It's a pity this dog doesn't have a collar; it could easily get him killed.

Seeing Cao Ze return looking refreshed, Zhao Yan casually remarked, "Sir, you seem to be in good spirits."

Cao Ze thought to himself, "That's because your wife is quite voluptuous."

"Thanks to the great king's blessings."

He always believed that Zhao Yan, like King Han An, was a blessed man.

Zhao Yan, wearing a trench coat, slowly stood up, looked at the lotus pond where the spring breeze was blowing gently, and sighed, "What good fortune do I have?"

After copying the answers he had memorized, Zhao Qian stood up excitedly.

"Father, I have finished writing."

Zhao Yan said to Cao Ze, "Take a look and see if this kid has done his homework properly."

Cao Ze glanced at the smug Zhao Qian.

Having just finished dealing with his mother, he naturally wouldn't undermine Zhao Qian.

He said a few polite words and left the palace.
