This summer in the fourth year of King Qin's reign was particularly rainy.
On July 19, it rained all day.
Different from the hazy weather, Jiang Shu was in a good mood these days. The doctor diagnosed her pulse and confirmed that she was pregnant.
Thinking that the king's first child was in her belly, Jiang Shu frowned slightly and reached out to touch her belly.
She was wearing a gentle lilac-colored dress, with a hanging pendant on her forehead that was slightly smaller than the fingertips, and an eyebrow pendant made of bright red agate. Her alluring appearance, complemented by the gorgeous accessories, gave people a just right sense of sophistication.
She sat by the window of Wuying Palace's palace, holding a low mat with one arm, supporting her chin with one hand, and grabbing the pastries on the table with her other hand, chewing them in small bites.
Outside the window, the rain is falling, like smoke and fog.
The lake behind the dormitory hall was blown by the wind into a pool of ripples.
Beside the lake shore, the green trees swayed from side to side in the wind and rain.
Suddenly, a big rooster with colorful feathers crossed the lakeside. In the heavy rain, the rooster ran very happily, with its wings spread out and very fast.
Jiang Yan saw it interestingly and giggled.
"I can smile so happily. It seems like I'm pregnant." A teasing voice came from behind.
Jiang Shu turned around and saw the Lord of Qin coming in from the door: "Your Majesty, did you come back so early today?"
"The national situation is going well these days, so it's a little early."
Jiang Yan said: "I heard that the king mentioned the establishment of new counties. The ministers have been discussing whether it is necessary to add new counties these days.
Several veterans said that the most important thing to do now is to accumulate strength to realize our Qin people's ambition to go eastward and annex other countries. Your Majesty is eager to add new counties, and the time is not right now."
Zhao Huaizhong glanced at Jiang Shu:
"An old minister didn't dare to come to me and tell me, so he went to my father to nag him. My father felt that it was inappropriate to interfere with my decision-making, so he mentioned it in front of you and asked you to come back and send me a message?"
Jiang Shu hummed with a bright face.
She had seen Zhao Huaizhong's ability to discern subtle details countless times, but she didn't think it was strange.
"Don't pay attention to them. Those old ministers are nagging behind my back. After all, they still have to do what I want."
Zhao Huaizhong walked to Jiang Shu, picked up a piece of jujube paste cake on the low mat in front of him, and put it into his mouth.
The jujube mud cake is made into the shape of a plum blossom, and the juice of fruits and vegetables is added to make it colorful. After entering the mouth, the jujube mud is sweet and has a soft and delicate texture.
Zhao Huaizhong expressed satisfaction with the cooking skills of the ordering chef, and picked up several pieces one after another and put them into his mouth.
At night, the lamps are burning high.
After Jiang Shu became pregnant with the child, she refused to let Zhao Huaizhong touch her.
He is now a tool specifically responsible for lulling people to sleep.
After Queen Qin fell asleep, he entered the entertainment time, quietly left the dormitory, and went to the side hall to find the Big Bear Dancer.
There were lightning and thunder in the sky, and the harmony between heaven and earth was like a fish in the water. The two of them swam around, looking for a warm harbor that was most suitable for each other.
After swimming in the harbor for half a night, I was exhausted.
Early the next day.
After Zhao Huaizhong stood up, he looked back at the harbor on the couch.
He was found to be sleeping soundly, his face was still tired, but the corners of his mouth were raised, looking tired and happy at the same time.
It seems that the matter of getting a concubine should be seriously considered. After Jiang Shu became pregnant, Yan Huansha was left alone.
————
Zhuxian Cave Heaven.
The main hall is as tall as a fairy palace and has a magnificent atmosphere.
The three pillars in the hall are filled with fragrance and smoke.
Today is a very important day for Jie Jiao practitioners in Zhuxian Cave Heaven.
Legend has it that in ancient times, July 20th was the day when the Lord of Jiejiao became enlightened.
Among the three statues in the cave, the Moon-Wang Lady and the Thunder Drum Mother gathered in the main hall, bowing respectfully to the hazy portrait, which seemed to have chaos on the surface, and bowed three times and kowtowed.
After a while, just like the last time when Mrs. Leigu led Jianghouxi and the two people in the center of the city to kowtow, a ray of light emerged from the scroll, and then the writing appeared.
The Moon-Wang Lady and the Thunder Drum Mother had solemn expressions on their faces, and they looked intently at what appeared on the portraits.
Outside the main hall behind the two of them, many people from the Zhuxian Cave Heaven gathered.
Among them was a young man with a tall figure and a slightly evil look in his eyes, who was around twenty-eight or nine years old, named Ai Lao.
He has only joined Zhuxian Cave Heaven for less than half a year, but he has already become one of the most trusted people of Lady Wan Yue.
There is a rumor within the cave that the Moon-Wang Lady almost obeys her words.
The speed of his rise has made countless Jiejiao cultivators throughout Zhuxian Cave Heaven jealous and jealous, and they keep talking behind their backs.
"Bah, that Ai Lao is only on the second level of the Holy Dharma Realm. Why should he serve as the commander of the four Immortal Weapons Cave in Zhuxian Cave? I don't accept it."
In the cave, several people gathered and talked quietly.
"Oh, this is not something I can envy. It is said that Ai Lao performed the magic of spinning a wheel in the Palace of Lihen last night. If you have the ability, you can also spin a wheel.
The Queen will definitely promote you to be the commander of the Immortal Soldier Cave."
"I heard that the female lord dismissed all the favored disciples around her for the sake of Ai Lao, and now only Na Ai Lao is left with the female lord's favor.
This kind of person is really untouchable."
"The news you heard is nothing. I also heard that the female queen seems to want to give birth to an heir for Ai Lao."
"What?"
Everyone in Zhuxian Cave was shocked, filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Hush, be quiet."
One of them made a gesture.
When the others turned around, they saw Ai Lao walking calmly, wearing a bright silver robe and a long sword hanging from his waist, passing by not far away.
Several people looked at each other and immediately swarmed up, greeting each other: "Where are Ai Lao's soldiers going?"
"The Commander is busy and working hard. I have been out for the past few days and found a piece of spiritual root, which has a nourishing effect. I will send it to the Commander later."
Facing the crowd's attention, Lao Ai, no, Ai Lao looked disdainful.
He still remembered that when he first entered the Immortal-killing Cave, these people were all aloof and considered themselves immortal masters, and they made things difficult for him.
Now he sacrificed a great magic weapon to subdue the female immortal masters. These immortal masters immediately changed their faces. He was licked... so comfortable.
They are all despicable idiots... Ai Lao curled up his lips slightly and shouted: "Get out! If you stand out in front of me again, your legs will be broken."
The order given by the king said that this Zhuxian Cave is hiding in the dark, trying to control the situation of various countries and bring disaster to all living beings. Let us try our best to kill the people of these sects. This is what we are best at... Ai Lao left in a stride.
After Ai Lao left, a group of immortal masters cursed secretly, looked at each other, and felt helpless.
A quarter of an hour later, Lao Ai came to a teleportation formation in Zhuxian Cave and looked up.
On the sky, a hundred feet high above the ground, floated an island-like creation that was more than a hundred feet in size. There were many palaces on top of it, which was the Palace of Lihen of the Lady of the Moon.
Ai Lao walked into the formation and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was in the dormitory of Lihen Palace.
These short-distance teleportation formations are said to be inherited from ancient times, and they are the secret of cutting off the teachings and not passing them on.
But Ai Lao had already looked through the ancient books of the Palace of Lihen, and secretly wrote down these so-called secrets that recorded formation patterns and sent them back to Da Qin.
Not long ago, Ai Lao received a secret letter from Zhao Huaizhong, which was quite complimentary to him.
Ai Lao was overjoyed after seeing it and felt that this kind of task of sneaking into the opponent's interior was very suitable for him.
When he walked into the palace of Lihen Palace, he saw the Moon-Wang Lady conversing with Lei Gu Mother.
Seeing him come in, the female goddess holding the moon, wearing a purple gauze dress and a complicated skirt, had a happy face and motioned for Ai Lao to come behind her and wait for a while.
Mother Lei Gu glanced at Ai Lao, and continued talking to the Moon Lady:
"...There is news that the Qin people have recently been opening up the barbaric land to the southwest of Qin, recruiting tribes from various places to naturalize, and bring them under Qin's rule.
If there are those who disobey, they will send troops to eliminate them. Qin wants to add new counties and expand the border to the southern coast."
Lady Wan Yue sneered and said: "The Qin people are very ambitious. If they extend the border to the coast, it will hinder our sect's access to China and cause great inconvenience."
"That's right."
Mother Lei Gu said: "If the Qin people are allowed to wipe out the tribes along the way and push the border to the coast, they will also have a geographical advantage over the Chu land and can use troops against Chu from both sides.
I, Zhuxian Cave Heaven, absolutely cannot tolerate this matter.
I thought we could push the Chu people to come forward from behind to hinder the Qin people from establishing new counties."
Ai Lao lowered his head and listened, thinking secretly in his heart.
Mother Lei Gu continued: "Today we paid homage to the portrait of our ancestor, and what emerged..."
She stopped talking and looked at Lao Ai.
The Lady Wan Yue smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, mother, it's okay. Ai Lao is someone I am close to and trust."
Mother Lei Gu thought for a while: "The Wei people have recently been forced by the Qin army and cut off the city to seek peace. Apparently they realize that their strength is still not enough to compete with the Qin people.
The Yin and Shang military training strategies we gave to the Wei people before were only fragments.
But the content shown in the portrait of the ancestor today seems to be the missing part of the Yin Shang military training policy held by our sect."
The Lady Wan Yue muttered: "My mother's intention is to give the newly obtained military training strategy content to the four countries as before, so as to once again promote the improvement of their military strength and balance the expansion of the Qin people?"
"Exactly, the portrait of the ancestor is showing the content of the military strategy at this moment. It should also have this intention to guide us to further enhance the power of the four countries."
Lei Gu's mother laughed and said: "Qin people want to expand their territory and add new counties, but they are not afraid of being choked to death.
We will secretly promote the increase of the power of the four countries and see how the Qin people respond."
Later, when Mother Lei Gu finished talking about the matter and left, Ai Lao asked the Queen Wan Yue very bluntly:
"My mother just said, what is Yin Shang's military strategy?
I, Zhuxian Dongtian, am secretly sending military training strategies to the four countries?"
It stands to reason that being a spy and asking for information requires skills, and you need to make insinuations.
But skills are also different. In Ai Lao's current situation, skills are not a necessity, and it depends on the person.
The Lady Wan Yue put her arms around his neck and said in a disgusting voice: "Why are you talking about these things? It ruins your mood. Let's have fun..."
Ai Lao secretly touched his lower back, feeling a dull pain.
This female monster is really not weak in strength and has a huge addiction.
The next day.
Ai Lao found an opportunity and secretly sent the news.
July 23rd.
In Xianyang Palace, Zhao Huaizhong was reading the news sent back by Lao Ai: "It is indeed Jie Jiao who sent military strategies to the Four Kingdoms, Yin Shang military training strategies..."
He put down the message Lao Ai sent back and took out a few things he got from Xia Si.
After a while, he looked at Bao Si's portrait and something he got from Xia Si together.
At this time, Lu Buwei, Lian Po, Wang Jian and Han Fei.
The four saints walked in at the same time, led by the chamberlain.
Zhao Huaizhong was slightly surprised: "Why did you come here?"
Lu Buwei calmed down his emotions and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in recent days, clan elders have visited several times to visit the ministers and asked the ministers to come to the king to talk about something!"
Zhao Huaizhong put down the things in his hands and looked at Lu Buwei and others.
