In the bedroom.

Zhao Ji curled up in Ying Zheng's arms, her eyes narrowed, her eyebrows stretched, and her pale face became a little more rosy. Ying Zheng's body temperature made her cold body feel much warmer.

Zhao Ji pursed her lips and had some bloody plump lips, and squeezed them in like a noble cat, closing her eyes and murmured: "It's great that Zheng'er has you, my mother feels much more comfortable."

Ying Zheng didn't say anything, but just used a little force to make Zhao Ji more comfortable.

...

Beauty Hu, who left the bedroom, stared at the back of the banshee.

She was angry and even suspected that this was the idea the woman in front of her gave to the queen mother again.

Or invisible guidance, let her step into the pit.

The banshee seemed to feel the vicious gaze behind her back, and slowly turned around and faced Meiren Hu, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, "What, do you have any complaints in your heart, right?"

The banshee looked playful, but she didn't agree with the angry look in front of Meiren Hu. "You should feel lucky. If the king had not arrived at this moment, you should know your fate."

While talking, the banshee had already walked to the side of Meiren Hu, tilted her head and said with a smile.

"Hmph, Mingzhu, don't be too proud. Compared to me, the Queen Mother likes you more, so she will not be willing to let you go."

Beauty Hu snorted coldly and said sneeringly.

"When did I say I wanted to leave the Queen Mother's side?"

The banshee seemed to be indifferent to the threat Hu Meiren, but instead looked at Hu Meiren with interest and said, "It seems that you have thought too much. What's wrong with being around the Empress Dowager? The king likes to accompany the Empress Dowager and stays by the Empress Dowager often so that he can get in touch with the king more!"

"you……"

Meiren Hu's face changed slightly. She didn't expect the banshee to say this. She couldn't understand, "Aren't you afraid..."

"As long as the relationship between the king and the queen mother remains unchanged, why should I be afraid? Even if you are really granted a concubine, there is still no change in front of me, because there is only one mistress in this harem, and that is the queen mother."

The banshee looks confident.

"But you are not the Queen Mother!"

Beauty Hu couldn't help but say.

“So what.”

The banshee smiled slightly and patted Meiren on the shoulder, "This doesn't affect anything, let alone, even if she becomes a concubine, can't she serve the Queen Mother?"

After the banshee said that, she turned around and left, "Hu Zipei, it seems that you have a lot to learn."

Seeing the Tide Banshee leaving as if nothing had happened, Hu Meiren couldn't help but clench her fist, but she could do anything to the Tide Banshee and could only feel sulky.

...

In a blink of an eye, two months passed.

Ying Zheng and his party also transferred from Gaoquan Palace to Guo Palace.

The Guo Palace is located thirty or forty miles south of Yongcheng, the ancestral land of Qin.

The Guo Palace is similar to the Gaoquan Palace, and it was also built by Queen Mother Xuan in the past, for her amusement. From then on, it takes less than an hour to reach Yongcheng.

Moreover, there are two nearby rivers and Chu Rivers that merge into the Wei River in the south, and the Wei River goes east and goes directly into the Xianyang Palace City.

Therefore, the land was sufficient water source, lush vegetation and beautiful scenery, which was chosen by Queen Mother Xuan to build a palace.

And in the past two months, although no major war occurred, all parties acted frequently.

Qin State purchased large quantities of silk and iron from Zhao State with merchants. Under the extremely high interests, many Guizhou heads also changed to smelting iron, and the same was true for those rich and nobles.

Guo Kai even traded with Qi State, bought Qi State's grain at a low price, and then sold it to Zhao people. He would make money from Qin and Zhao people.

Qi also started trade with Qin, but it was stipulated that Qi's currency could not be circulated in Qin, resulting in Qi merchants having to exchange Qin's currency first and then trade.

The same is true for Zhao State. Qin State acquired the silk and iron of Zhao State, and only settled it with Qin coins.

Although Qin has paid a huge amount of money in the past two months, he has also gained more.

The exchanges between merchants brought more information and information about Zhao to Qin, helping Qin improve Zhao's map and city defense.

However, during this period of Wei State, many rumors about Xinlingjun wanting to usurp the throne appeared.

Although the King of Wei did not completely believe it, he had to be careful and was extremely irritated.

Especially after Xinling Jun directly denied his intention to unite with Qin a few months ago, this made the King of Wei even more annoyed because he felt that Xinling Jun was grateful for the courtesy of Zhao State to him, so that was the case.

After all, he had already said that it was not that Guan Ming and Qin had joined forces with him, but that they did not help each other, and they watched Qin and Zhao fight. If Zhao wins, then Wei would not lose anything. If Qin wins, Qin would give it to Wei.

Previously, the Qin State received sixteen cities and towns donated by Zhao State for nothing, which made the King of Wei also envious.

If he does not want to gain a reputation for being mediocre, he must make some achievements, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to expand territory.

Unfortunately, his abacus was directly rejected by Xinlingjun, which made the King of Wei feel provoked and extremely angry.

But Xin Lingjun is his younger brother, and his reputation and abilities are well known in the world, which forced him to suppress his anger.

But this incident was spread outside the palace and spread to the people. The power of King Wei was greatly damaged. Then rumors spread, saying that Xinlingjun's rights, reputation and prestige in the State of Wei had surpassed that of King Wei. Although King Wei was nominally the king, everything was under the command of Xinlingjun, saying that King Wei had become a puppet of King Xinlingjun.

In particular, there are rumors that Xinling Jun often stayed in the palace overnight and was in the arms of King Wei’s wife and concubine.

Although the King of Wei and all officials knew that this was a false thing, many scholars and nobles knew that it was impossible, after all, Xinling Jun has always had a good reputation.

But the rumor that cannot be resisted is a slight and eye-catching thing. Moreover, Xinling Jun once stole military talismans with the King of Wei, which has learned from the past. In addition, ordinary people like gossip and facts, which leads to the spread of rumors becoming more and more widespread. Many people know about this and secretly joke about the King of Wei.

Even now, the spread is getting stronger and stronger, and some people say that Xinling Jun is preparing to mutiny to seize power and ascend the throne himself to the throne.

In just a few days, the rumor spread within the territory of Wei, and everyone was talking about it.

Wei Palace.

King Wei Anli looked gloomy, "Have you found out the source of the news? Where did this come from?"

King Wei asked in a low voice with an ugly face.

Your Highness, Wei Yong also had a serious expression on his face, "Your Majesty, you have tracked down several of them, all of them..."

Wei Yong was a little hesitant.

“What are they?”

Seeing this, the King of Wei immediately asked, "Is there anything else I can't know?"

"You are the king, but I don't know if it's reliable. After all, this news is a bit scary."

Wei Yong immediately said with fear and fear, as if there was something really hard to say.

"Say, no matter what you say, I will forgive you for being innocent!"

King Wei took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then asked again.

"promise."

When King Jian Wei said this, Wei Yong's expression was reduced and hesitated. "According to the investigation, there were several merchants from Zhao State. I heard that they came from the fiefdom of Xinlingjun in Zhao State, and some heard that they were from the drunken mouths of the disciples in Xinlingjun's mansion."

"Um?"

After hearing this, King Wei frowned and his expression became solemn, "What do you mean..."

"I am afraid, but I don't know."

Wei Yong obviously didn't want to take the initiative to participate, so he immediately bowed and shouted.

But the more Wei Yong did this, the more the King of Wei was, and he had to think more.

After all, the merchants of Zhao State came from Xinlingjun's fiefdom in Zhao State. Maybe they heard something, not to mention that there was a guest from Xinlingjun's mansion who leaked the words. In addition, what happened some time ago, he couldn't help but think about it.

"Xinling Jun prevented me from cooperating with Qin. He had a good relationship with Zhao. If he really wanted to..."

When the King of Wei thought of this, he was shocked and then looked at Wei Yong, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Da Sikong, at this time, don't shirk responsibility. You can analyze and analyze it for me. I think you also hope to confirm this matter as soon as possible?"

King Wei asked directly, after all, Wei Yong was the person he trusted the most and succeeded at the moment.

"Since the king said this, the minister dared to speak out."

Seeing that the King of Wei was asking sincerely, Wei Yong finally stopped grasping it and said with a solemn look: "Xinling Jun originally did not trust the king and had always complained about it. I think the king knew this. Moreover, Xinling Jun had a good relationship with Zhao and would never let Qin go. In Zhao's battle, our Wei Kingdom sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and even cooperated with Qin."

"So this cannot rule out that Xinlingjun uses other methods, and Zhao must be afraid that our Wei and Qin will cooperate with each other, so it may help Xinlingjun seize power. After all, there is a precedent for Zhao to do such things."

"When King Wu of Qin died suddenly, there was a fight in Qin. Queen Wu of Qin and Mi Bazi each supported one person to compete for the throne. Later, King Wuling of Zhao appointed Yingji as king, which ended. King Zhao of Yan was also the King of Yan personally decided by King Wuling of Zhao."

"The current situation is chaotic, and Zhao may come back again. If Xinling Jun really succeeds to the throne, then Zhao and Wei can fight against Qin and Yan, and even Zhao can take this opportunity to expand its territory, strengthen its strength, and compete with Qin."

Speaking of this, Wei Yong had already knelt on his knees, "Once this is the case, the foundation of Wei will sooner or later be annexed by Zhao, because only in this way can we restore the former glory of Jin and suppress Qin. It's just a pity that our ancestors of Wei have built hundreds of years and will give up the Zhao people!"

Wei Yong bowed deeply.

The King of Wei fell down, his expression was complicated and heavy, hesitant for a moment, and hesitated and distracted.

Wei Yong raised his eyes, glanced at the expression of King Wei, and immediately lowered his head again, and a smile flashed from the corner of his lips.

...

On the other side.

Xinlingjun's mansion.

Xinling Jun is also extremely anxious at this moment.
