Even though the Qin State had a strict household registration system, there have always been no secrets between countries. During the internal strife in Qin, Yingji and Yingzhuang accused each other of stealing the throne of the king of Qin, and claimed that they were the legitimate heirs to the throne of the king of Qin. One is respected in Xianyang, and the other is recruiting troops in the old capital of Liyang, and the two sides are tense, and the situation is the same, seeing that the Qin State has reached the brink of crisis.

At this time, on behalf of the nobles of the Qin State, Zhu Liji expressed his loyalty to Yingji, openly declared that Gongzi Zhuang and others were rebellious, and said that the people of Qin should unite as one and not rebel and cause chaos. It should be said that the role of Zhu Li is very obvious, as the commander of the Qin State with outstanding achievements, his statement has hit the morale of Gongzi Zhuang and others. At the same time, he also declared that he would put down the rebellion within half a year and return the Qin State to stability.

At this time, the envoy of the Qin State had quietly come to Handan to meet Zhao Yong.

"Madam, go slowly, be careful."

The maid supported Mi Xi, as if she was holding half of a thousand treasures, and she didn't dare to speed up at all. The partial Mi Ji is used to walking, even if she is pregnant now, it is a habit that is difficult to change.

"It can't be too late, it's too late to delay the queen's diagnosis, and I can't see it." Mi Xi obviously struggled to walk, but she was still the same.

"You're just being too careful." The maid chuckled and said, "The king has already decreed that you are pregnant, so you don't have to see you every day, you want to continue to do this, why bother." ”

Mi Xi frowned and stopped to look at the maid. The maid saw that Mi Xi turned her face, and how she didn't know that Mi Xi was angry when she came over from Chu State, so she quickly leaned over and pleaded guilty, crying bitterly. Although the attendants behind him didn't know what was going on, they saw that the maids closest to Mi Xi had all pleaded guilty, and it was too much of an eyesore to stand by themselves, so they hurriedly leaned over and remained silent.

"In the future, if you let someone hear your words and talk too much, don't blame you and others from the palace and sell yourself into slavery!"

Everyone listened to it to know the reason, and their hearts tightened, thinking that it was the maid who said something that should not be said, which made Mi Xi angry. But this master and servant are from the Chu State, and Mi Xi is not that mean person on weekdays, so that's all.

Unexpectedly, Mi Ji then said: "As for you, immediately go to the eunuch to remove your name and go back... Go to the state of Chu. ”

Mi Xi's words are tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day for this palace maid, and she didn't think that she would be punished so severely if she didn't have one more mouth. didn't care about any dignity, and kept pounced on Mi Xi, hoping that she would retract what she had just said. Mi Xi was unmoved, and let the palace maid tear up.

"I thought it was the palace maid who was presumptuous here, but I didn't expect it to be the lady here."

"Some palace people don't understand the rules, so they can only teach a lesson." Mi Xi glanced at Meng Yao, who was curling and tinging, and the other party smiled smartly, and saluted Mi Yao from a distance. Mi Ji didn't dare to hold it up, so she quickly let her get up. Meng Yao seemed to be intent on getting close to her, and hurriedly came over to support Mi Xi from the side of the maid, and her behavior was so intimate that she was a little surprised.

Who doesn't know that now that Meng Yao has given birth to a prince, he may not be a queen in the future?

"A little slave and maid, if you break the rules, it's just a reprimand, why do you need to be banished back?" Meng Yao was clever, and when he saw that the person who was crying was the concubine brought by Mi Xi from the Chu State, his mind changed, and he replied, "What's more, she returned to the Chu State, although the road is difficult and dangerous, so there is nothing to be afraid of, but Mrs. has one less person who is considerate, isn't it a pity?" ”

Although Mi Xi was silent, Meng Yao saw pity in her subtle expression, so she walked up to the palace maid and scolded: "Although you are a lady slave, if you don't be vigilant, you will inevitably commit it again." As she spoke, she glanced back at Mi Xi again, "Madam, how about punishing her for thinking about it for a few days before making a decision?" ”

Mi Xi glanced at Meng Yao, then at the pitiful appearance of the palace maid, and nodded, "Let's handle it this way." ”

The palace maid thanked the two of them and went to the eunuch to confinement and think about it.

"Madame is pregnant now, don't get angry." Meng Yao asked the maid to step back, supported Mi Xi by herself, and whispered, "Especially at this season, you should pay more attention." ”

While responding to Meng Yao, Mi Xi thought about it, this woman and herself are just ordinary friends on weekdays, but now she is so attentive, is there something wrong.

"You're going to see the queen too?"

"This is natural, I happened to meet my wife here, and I went with my wife." Meng Yao replied.

The two asked and answered, and after a while, they arrived outside the queen's palace and hurriedly asked the eunuch to pass the message.

Dormitory.

"The two of them together?" Han Yan leaned back against the bed, her face was sallow, and she was obviously seriously ill. There was a slight fragrance wafting in the incense burner, but it still couldn't dilute the strong medicinal smell.

"Yes."

"Hmm... The two of them... Is it so good on weekdays? Han Yan frowned and looked at Han Qian next to her.

"I've never heard of that." Han Qian shook her head, "Mrs. Mi lives in seclusion on weekdays, but she likes to fiddle with the affairs of the Chu State in her own palace, and I don't see her interacting with other palace people frequently. I just don't know why today..."

Han Yan closed her eyes, although the pain made her much weaker, her thinking was not affected.

"Mi Xi, don't worry." Han Yan said slowly, "But this Meng Yao, be careful. She looked at Han Qian, "Her father, after all, is an important minister of Zhao State, and he has a prince, so he must be guarded against." ”

Han Qian nodded helplessly, what she didn't like the most was precisely this kind of conspiracy in the palace. It's just that Han Yan is her sister, and Zhao Zhang is Han Yan's guarantee for a lifetime. Even if I wanted to hide, I couldn't.

"Isn't my sister too worried?" Han Qian still persuaded: "Zhang Er is talented and intelligent, as decisive as a king, and inheriting the unification of Zhao is just around the corner." What's more, the king is still in the prime of life......"

"It's precisely because the king is still in his prime," Han Yan muttered, "that I have to guard against it." ”

When the two of them entered the main hall, they were first flushed by the smell of medicine in the hall. Meng Yao is okay, he gave birth to Zhao He a few days ago, and he also blindly took medicine and tonic. However, Mi Ji was pregnant, and she obviously reacted greatly, and even felt a little dizzy, and almost fell to the ground.

"Don't you have long eyes? Quickly let Madame sit down. Han Yan scolded. The maids hurriedly helped Mi Xi to sit down.

"The king has decreed that you should be pregnant in peace in the dormitory, and all mundane rites will be waived except for walking. In case he hurts his body, the king scolds him, and he can't afford it. ”

Seeing that although Han Yan's face was not good, her tone was full of pampering, not difficult, so she smiled: "The king and queen are very loving, but the concubine does not dare to make a mistake, and the etiquette of the line is naturally to be done." ”

Han Yan then took Mi Xi's hand and chatted, greeted her life, and gave a bunch of exquisite things, even Han Qian saw it in her eyes, and suspected that Mi Xi was Han Yan's sister-in-law.

However, the two chatted speculatively, and Meng Yao, who was still kneeling there, was angry. Just now, the queen only let Mi Xi exempt herself from etiquette, but she didn't let herself get up, of course she didn't dare to get up.

In fact, she has become more and more aware of the fact that the queen has become more and more cautious about her, and there is a lot of coldness in her words. She had a lot of thoughts, and she didn't know what the queen was thinking. In order to avoid further harassment, she tried her best to avoid meeting the queen. However, this daily worship is unavoidable, so you can only bite the bullet.

On the way here today, she was thinking about how to resolve this crisis, and happened to meet Mi Ji reprimanding the house slave. In her heart, she naturally didn't have a good impression of this slave, but she suddenly thought that if she could pull Mi Xi, the princess of Chu State, into her camp, she would also have a helper at that time to avoid being isolated.

However, Han Yan is not stupid, she got closer to Mi Xi when she met, and hung her aside, so how to make her not annoyed and ashamed.

"Hey, Mrs. Meng is still saluting, hurry up and sit down."

Han Yan seemed to see Meng Yao at this time, which made her legs, who were already numb, get up.

"You have just given birth to a son, but you have to pay attention. I think when Zhang'er was born..."

Han Yan seemed to care, but in fact, her ostentatious tone made Meng Yao very uncomfortable, as if she was warning herself over and over again not to have any wrong thoughts. And she had to pretend to be flattered, and hurriedly thanked Han Yan, and couldn't help but feel sick.

"Speaking of which, haven't you met the king in the past few days?"

Seeing that Han Yan didn't stop humiliating Meng Yao, Han Qian quickly interjected and interrupted Han Yan.

"Yes, Lord Xi said yesterday that the king was going to see the concubine, but in the second half of the morning, he hurriedly sent someone to say that he would not come again, presumably the king was going to be busy with some big things again." Mi Xi had already seen that the two were not dealing with each other, so she quickly took Han Qian's words and said. "The concubine is just worried, the king is so busy, I'm afraid this body can't bear it."

Han Yan looked at Han Qian and Mi Xi, knowing their thoughts, and said lightly: "The worries of the two of you are not unreasonable. Well, sometime will send someone to greet you later. ”

The two nodded, looked at each other again, and Han Qian gave Mi Xi an appreciative look, and then bowed her head and said nothing.

Who would have thought that before the words fell here, they heard Meng Yao say: "The concubine also heard that an envoy from the Qin State came, hoping that the king could support the new King of Qin to succeed to the throne, and for this reason, the Qin State was willing to give some land to the Zhao State." After speaking, she glanced at Han Yan and lowered her head deeply.

"Nonsense, who told you!" Han Yan's face changed now, and her tone was a little stern. "The king has decreed many times that no state affairs should be talked about in the harem, you... How dare you be so bold? ”

Meng Yao hurriedly leaned over and pleaded guilty, saying that he had just heard about it, and he couldn't do it seriously, hoping that Han Yan would spare his life. Han Yan's face suddenly became ugly, coughing non-stop, pointing at Meng Yao with one hand, while wanting to scold her, but her speech was always intermittent, suddenly her throat was sweet, and a smell of blood rushed straight to her nose, and her eyes suddenly turned black, and she fainted.

Seeing that the queen fainted, everyone hurriedly began to take care of Han Yan. Han Qian hurriedly asked people to invite Mi Yao away first, and let Meng Yao wait outside the palace, while she sent someone to report to Zhao Yong while announcing the medical envoy.

On the top of the Longtai Palace, Zhao Yong handed over the letterhead brought by the envoy of the Qin State to the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch handed it to Le Yi and the others at the head of the next one. After everyone watched it, they were all surprised and felt unbelievable.

"Does King Qin really have the intention to send the land of Wusui to my Zhao Kingdom?" Zhao Yong asked.
