Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 139 The Marquis

Ying Jing attributed Lady Mingzhu's betrayal of Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei's choices to the power of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations.

He simply couldn't understand what made Lady Myung-joo willing to give up her position as Lady of Korea and gamble on an uncertain future.

If he were the King of Qin, he might be able to somewhat understand Lady Mingzhu's behavior.

After all, there weren't many rules in this era. King Zhao could even make a courtesan his queen, and even if she was the former Lady of Han, she could still covet that position.

But Ying Jing was just Lord Changxin.

Even if Ying Jing secretly set a trap for her, and even if Lady Mingzhu were to successfully subdue the other women in his household, Lady Changxin's status would still be far inferior to that of Lady Han.

Of course, this is based on the premise that South Korea still exists.

But for something that's barely even started, unless a massive army is pressing in and besieging the city, how could someone in a high position possibly give up?

If Lady Myung-joo made such a gamble because she was pessimistic about South Korea's future, then she certainly had a lot of guts.

"Could it be that they've truly seen through my potential?"

Ying Jing tilted his head, looking somewhat suspicious.

"Hehe, is Lord Changxin wondering if I've gone mad to make such a risky gamble?"

Madam Mingzhu smiled gently, the warm breath from her lips mingling with the fragrance of incense in the air, creating a sweet and refreshing scent, like a delicate orchid.

Ying Jing didn't mince words and said directly, "Oh? Then I'll have to ask my lady to enlighten me."

Lady Mingzhu then lightly stuck out her red tongue and gently touched Ying Jing's other earlobe a few times before slowly uttering a sentence.

“My aunt told me that Lord Changxin has the opportunity to become the most honorable person in the world.”

???

Ying Jing was immediately taken aback! Someone actually saw his potential?

However, he immediately realized what was happening...

"Your aunt is...a marquis?"

Ying Jing uttered a question, but the tone was affirmative.

Madam Mingzhu's aunt? That's Bai Yifei's mother!

That one and only female marquis, who exists almost exclusively in legends and is known to very few even in South Korea!

It is said that this marquis's gaze could dim the starry sky, and countless souls perished beneath her twin swords. Her beauty made even death seem like a gentle process.

There is also a legend that she made a pact with darkness, which allows her to maintain her youthful appearance with her blood.

This marquis was indeed extremely mysterious, and even the Luowang (a secret organization) did not have many records of her.

“My aunt has always been mysterious and hasn’t appeared for many years. I only saw her when I was a child.”

Lady Mingzhu spoke softly and gently, saying, "I hadn't seen her for so many years that I even suspected she had passed away, but I never expected her to suddenly appear in my palace the other day."

"Her appearance is as beautiful as ever, even more beautiful than mine, and she looks about the same age as me."

“My aunt told me that the fall of South Korea was inevitable, and even if she came out of retirement, she couldn’t save it. My cousin and I both need to find a new way out.”

Ying Jing frowned in thought, his eyes no longer frivolous: "Did she also tell you to come find me?"

Madam Mingzhu chuckled: "Auntie wouldn't concern herself with such things."

"She simply told me that Lord Changxin had the opportunity to become the most honored person in the world, and that it was entirely my own choice."

Ying Jing pursed his lips. "Oh right, right, it was all your own choice. You weren't guided at all."

However, this marquis is acting all mysterious and even making prophecies, which is somewhat similar to the Yin-Yang school of thought.

"You believe everything she says?"

Ying Jing had some doubts. He thought that the Marquis had said that to Lady Mingzhu because he had opened the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations Bronze Box a little bit that day.

After all, the Marquis was in Korea, and possibly even in Xinzheng at the time, so she noticed something.

There are still many mysterious things in this world. It's quite normal for a mysterious old woman like the Marquis to know something about the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions.

Madam Mingzhu chuckled: "Of course I believe what my aunt says, but I trust my own judgment even more."

"Lord Changxin, do you really think I, Mingzhu, am a casual woman? If I hadn't fallen for you at first sight, how could I have been willing to be with you like this..."

"Even the King of Han didn't gain the slightest advantage!"

Ying Jing tilted his head, showing no pity for the King of Han, and said strangely, "Taking a liking at first sight? Isn't that lust at first sight?"

Lady Mingzhu almost laughed in anger. She parted her red lips slightly and said, "So what if you are attracted to beauty? Lord Changxin, you are indeed much more pleasing to the eye than the King of Han."

"Ever since my aunt told me about that, I've been gathering information about Changxin-jun these past few days..."

"My intuition tells me... Auntie is right, and my judgment is correct. I'm taking this gamble!"

Although it was hasty, Ying Jing reluctantly accepted Lady Mingzhu's statement.

In any case, it seems to have no negative impact on him at the moment, only positive ones!

If there's a bargain, you should take advantage of it!

But before Ying Jing could make any further move, he plucked the beautiful black rose.

Suddenly, the shouts of palace maids came from outside.

"I've met the king!"

Has King Han An arrived?

Ying Jing frowned; this was a very inopportune time.

However, Lady Mingzhu remained calm. She glanced at Ying Jing and didn't seem to want to hide.

"Please wait a moment, Lord Changxin."

Madam Mingzhu gently blew a breath, and the incense in the room seemed to become even stronger.

She took graceful steps, arrived at the palace gate, opened the door, and incense immediately wafted out with the fragrant breeze.

"Mingzhu greets Your Majesty..."

After a brief greeting, Lady Mingzhu entered the palace with King Han An.

then……

There's no after that.

King Han An completely ignored Ying Jing and easily found the supporting pillar inside the palace...

"hiss!"

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Ying Jing was truly astonished.

Before Ying Jing could speak, Madam Mingzhu had already hooked her arms around his waist with her long, beautiful legs.

"Husband..."

a long time.

Ying Jing's figure had already appeared outside the palace gate.

It must be said that Yingjing encountered many interesting things and people during this trip to South Korea.

Bai Yifei appears to be affiliated with the Nightfall organization, and is one of the four fierce generals under Ji Wuye's command.

In reality, however, he concealed his relationship with Lady Mingzhu, allowing her to also become one of the Four Fiends of the Night, the Azure Tide Demoness.

Furthermore, she used the power of night to bring Lady Mingzhu into the palace, where she used incense to influence King Han and control his harem.

On the surface, Lady Mingzhu is the Lady of Han, but in reality, she is the Azure Tide Demoness under Ji Wuye's command... However, her relationship with Bai Yifei is even more deeply hidden.

However, even Bai Yifei probably never imagined that his cousin was not on his side, but had her own ulterior motives.

Behind Bai Yifei and Madam Mingzhu, there is also a mysterious woman, the only female marquis in Korea, whose level of mystery is almost comparable to that of Donghuang Taiyi.

It's like a matryoshka doll!

And there are layers upon layers!

They seem to be of one mind on the surface, but in reality, they are all scheming behind the scenes!

Ying Jing was already somewhat speechless.
