Chapter 229 Slapping Zhao Ji's Face
Upon hearing this, Lu Buwei remained silent. He was trying to figure out Zhao Ji's true attitude.

After a long time.

"Okay, but I need you to do something for me."

Zhao Ji frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Get rid of Chang'an Jun Chengjiao."

Zhao Ji didn't even think about it: "No."

She sent Zhao Gao to assassinate Cheng Jiao because she had an average relationship with Cheng Jiao and didn't care about his life or death.

Now, thanks to Cheng Jiao, Zheng'er has returned to Xianyang safely and is assisting him wholeheartedly.

If she attacks Cheng Jiao again, how will she explain to Ying Zheng?

"Why?"

"No means no, there's no reason why!"

Lu Buwei sneered and didn't take it seriously. Today, Zhao Ji had to do it even if she didn't want to.

He knew this woman. She was good at playing tricks on people, but she wasn't very smart.

He slowly took out a half-burned, ordinary incense stick from his arms.

When Zhao Ji saw this, her expression changed slightly.

“You still left it there?”

Lü Buwei smiled and said, "I dare not leave it behind. I still have the letter you wrote to me to give to Qian Zhu Shi Meng."

Zhao Ji's voice trembled a little: "You want to threaten me?"

Lu Buwei said calmly: "As a subject, I naturally dare not."

Zhao Ji calmed down and thought back to the letter she had written that year. She did not mention a single word about the assassination of the king.

He snorted coldly: "So what! Lu Buwei, times have changed!"

Ten years have passed, and the king now is not Ying Zhu, but Ying Zheng, her child!
Lu Buwei shook his head slightly: "It is indeed useless, but I still have some things that are enough to allow Cheng Jiao to ascend the throne of Qin, even if he does not want to be the King of Qin."

Zhao Ji's heart skipped a beat. She never expected that Lu Buwei would play such a trick and hit her sore spot.

She may not care about anything, but she only cares about Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng the king.

This is also the reason why she hated Lu Buwei's action against Ying Zheng.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was flustered, Lu Buwei continued, "For example, I admit the rumor that Ying Zheng is my illegitimate son. What do you think?"

Zhao Ji said in a hoarse voice: "Then you will die too."

"So what, aren't we all the same?"

Lu Buwei cherished his life very much, but that doesn't mean he was afraid to risk it.

Especially for a woman like Zhao Ji, if he didn't risk his life, it would be difficult to control this woman who was almost invincible in the Qin State.

As the saying goes, the tough ones are afraid of the ruthless ones, and the ruthless ones are afraid of those who don't care about their lives.

No matter how cruel Zhao Ji is, or how powerful her methods of playing tricks on people are, it doesn’t matter.

As long as she cherishes her life, as long as she is reluctant to give up her Queen Mother and the throne for her child, Lu Buwei has plenty of ways to make Zhao Ji listen to him.

It's naive to think that we have nothing to do with each other anymore.

Zhao Ji's eyes were slightly closed, and the delicate body that drove countless people crazy was trembling slightly.

"How dare you!?"

"Why not?"

Zhao Ji slowly opened her eyes and exhaled.

"What are you worried about? I will protect your life."

Lu Buwei sighed lightly, not knowing whether Zhao Ji was really stupid or just pretending.

At this point, it is extremely difficult for him to retire after achieving his goal, especially since he had attacked the King of Qin. It would be harder than ascending to heaven to die of natural causes.

As for treason, he had thought about it, but he had offended the six kingdoms too deeply and had done too good a job for Qin. Treason might lead to his death faster, and it was also the worst option.

It would be better to rely on the foundation in Qin and deal with the King of Qin.

The first step now is to use Zhao Ji's hand to get rid of Cheng Jiao, or at least make sure that Cheng Jiao has no chance to enter the court again.

I originally wanted to cooperate with Changping Jun, but when I left the court just now, I had a brief exchange with Changping Jun and gave up the idea.

According to his years of political struggle, Changping Jun either wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers, or he intended to attack him together with Cheng Jiao, the King of Qin.

Therefore, he had to come to Zhao Ji's side.

After all, Zhao Ji is Ying Zheng's biological mother. Even if Zhao Ji attacks Cheng Jiao, can Ying Zheng kill his mother?

and……

Lu Buwei's eyes fixed. Even if Cheng Jiao retreated safely, the gap had already been created, which would cause more suspicion between Cheng Jiao and Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji.

"My Queen Mother, I know my time is running out. I just hope you can help me."

Zhao Ji could hear the hidden meaning behind Lu Buwei's words.

He secretly cursed the old and immortal thief in his heart, but was also shocked by Lu Buwei's decisiveness.

Just like when he entered the game, bet on Ying Zichu, and entered Qin to risk his life. Born as a businessman, he sat in a position second only to the leader of Qin.

"Okay, but I have a condition."

Lu Buwei moved his fingers, somewhat confused as to what Zhao Ji was thinking.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I want you to return the power in your hands to Zheng'er!"

Zhao Ji spoke word by word. Although her brain was not very good, she knew Ying Zheng's current predicament.

Lu Buwei's heart moved, and he said thoughtfully: "Okay, after the king is crowned next year, I will do it."

And silently added, the time is uncertain...

If he really gave up his life-saving card because of Zhao Ji's words, it would be a joke, a joke that would lead to his death.

There were only Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji in the palace.

Zhao Gao outside the palace was wondering what Lu Buwei was doing in Ganquan Palace this time.

Zhao Ji watched Lu Buwei leave with a gloomy face. She didn't expect that Lu Buwei would play the same trick again this time.

It would have been fine back then, after all, it was him who secretly used the Thousand Spiders Devouring Dreams to kill King Xiaowen, Ying Zhu, so he had no choice but to listen to Lu Buwei and seduce Ying Xi.

It was to prevent Ying Xi from investigating the truth and to buy time for Ying Zichu to take the throne.

But who is she now, and why is she using her reputation to seduce a junior?

Even if it was just an act, it was hard for her to accept.

But when he thought of Lu Buwei's cold words, and the possibility that Cheng Jiao would become the King of Qin as long as he was alive.

Zhao Ji took a deep breath and let Zhao Gao in.

Zhao Gao was alone, and seeing that Zhao Ji looked unhappy, he whispered, "Queen Mother."

Zhao Ji glanced at Zhao Gao. If you really count, Zhao Gao can be considered a descendant of the royal family, but his bloodline can be ignored.

"Where is Cheng Jiao, and when will he come to see me?"

She is a woman who is decisive and decisive in some matters, and a real doer. Yesterday, Ying Zheng asked Cheng Jiao to come to see her, and she decided to take the opportunity to deal with Cheng Jiao, so as to avoid any more trouble.

Zhao Gao thought to himself, how do I know when Cheng Jiao will come?

"Queen Mother, Chang'an Jun went to Yong Palace, he must be with the King of Qin."

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, feeling a little sorry. From Zheng'er, she knew that Cheng Jiao was very talented and intelligent, and was wholeheartedly assisting Zheng'er.

It's a pity that Lu Buwei threatened her with his life, and it's a pity that Cheng Jiao is qualified to succeed the King of Qin...

Zhao Gao listened to Zhao Ji's whispered instructions, and despite his strength as a top master, his heart skipped a beat.

But he did not dare to refute. Although he had joined Ying Zheng's small group, he still belonged to Zhao Ji, especially since Zhao Ji was Ying Zheng's mother.

But I felt sad in my heart, Cheng Jiao was finished this time.

Although he won't die, he probably can forget about entering politics. He will at most be an idle young man for the rest of his life, and a young man with a stigma at that.

The reason he couldn't die was that he knew Cheng Jiao's strength, as well as the strength of the women around Cheng Jiao, better than Zhao Ji.

It was not bad news for him. Yanri surrendered to Cheng Jiao, and now that Cheng Jiao fell, he had the opportunity to fall into the trap.

The only thing that made him firm was that he really couldn't stay with Zhao Ji any longer, it was too mysterious.

Cheng Jiao came out of Yong Palace casually and went to Ganquan Palace alone.

He didn't know that Lu Buwei was colluding with Zhao Ji to teach him a lesson.

When entering Ganquan Palace, a figure approached Cheng Jiao quietly.

Cheng Jiao laughed and said, "Old Zhao, why are you being so sneaky?"

Zhao Gao lowered his head and said, "The Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time."

Cheng Jiao had just taken two steps when he vaguely felt something was wrong.

It was too quiet in Ganquan Palace.

After all, this is the Queen Mother's bedroom, so there will be no shortage of maids and servants.

"Old Zhao, are you alone?"

Cheng Jiao asked tentatively.

Zhao Gao thought to himself, this Chang'an Jun is really cautious and is alert even in the palace.

"The Queen Mother has a private matter to discuss with Lord Chang'an. No one is allowed to approach here without permission."

Cheng Jiao said "Oh" and wondered why Zhao Ji wanted to see him.

From what Zheng Ge said, this beautiful queen mother would not target him now.

But he met me in Ganquan Palace, yet was so secretive. Could it be that he fell in love with me?
How should I refuse? He is not that kind of person...

Zhao Gao watched Cheng Jiao step into the hall, a sharp gleam flashing across his slightly evil eyes.

Waiting silently outside the hall, six sword slaves quietly appeared behind him.

He was waiting for Zhao Ji's order.

As Cheng Jiao walked into the hall, the feeling of uneasiness became stronger.

Quiet, too quiet.

Just as he was hesitating whether to leave first and pull Zheng Ge over with him.

A crisp sound of high heels stepping on the ground rang out in the hall, attracting great attention.

Cheng Jiao couldn't help but look around. At the end there was a red gauze phoenix couch and a beautiful woman draped in gauze approaching him in high heels.

The woman was extremely beautiful, but he had no intention of thinking about her.

Her eyelids twitched slightly. Zhao Ji was not wearing the luxurious phoenix robe, but a hazy and alluring red gauze, half covering her exquisite figure.

What is this for!
Zhao Ji looked at the man in front of her with complicated eyes. Seeing Cheng Jiao standing there in a daze, she crossed her arms over her chest and walked half a circle around Cheng Jiao.

The red lips slowly opened: "Cheng Jiao, you are here."

Cheng Jiao took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Now that we are here, it's time to go."

He has realized that he may have to go through the same situation as his uncle Wang Yingxi.

He never expected that Lu Buwei, who had sent Zhao Ji to seduce Ying Xi back then, would also let Zhao Ji seduce him this time.

Or maybe it's not seduction, but... to ruin his reputation.

This old guy Lu Buwei was really capable. When he and Zheng Ge were on the way to Xianyang, they tried to persuade Zhao Ji to ruin Lu Buwei's reputation.

Now it seems that Lao Lu has gotten ahead of him.

If you don’t leave now, wait until later!
Seeing Cheng Jiao preparing to leave, Zhao Ji chuckled and said, "Cheng Jiao, I advise you to stay."

Cheng Jiao's face changed. He didn't expect that there was a mechanical device in Zhao Ji's bedroom that directly blocked all the doors and windows.

Although it didn't have any blocking effect on him, it was difficult not to make some noise.

If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Gao and the Six Sword Slaves are outside the palace.

This old Zhao is really unkind! He didn't even remind him, leaving him in a passive position.

"Queen, what does this mean?"

Cheng Jiao looked at the extremely attractive Zhao Ji without any distracting thoughts.

Zhao Ji was wearing a thin veil and said lazily, "Cheng Jiao, I have no grudge against you. You have been devoted to Zheng'er. I shouldn't have used such a mean method. As long as you listen to me and leave Xianyang, today's incident can be treated as if it never happened."

As the queen mother, she had lived a life of luxury for many years, and it was difficult for her to accept such vulgar means. She should blame Lu Buwei and Cheng Jiao for having royal blood.

Cheng Jiao looked at Zhao Ji's pretty face which was so close to him, and could almost feel the hot breath from Zhao Ji hitting his face.

Subconsciously, he wanted to slap Zhao Ji in the face. Her face was perfect, except for the lack of his five red fingerprints.

I really want a beating~
Cheng Jiao knew that today would not end peacefully, and he could not help but sigh. He really had no intention of attacking Zhao Ji, but if he did not capture Zhao Ji today, he was afraid that there would be endless troubles in the future.

As for listening to Zhao Ji and leaving Xianyang, if he didn't have a backup plan, he would really have slipped away.

A real man can bend and stretch. At worst, he can fight back when the time comes.

But he prefers to take revenge now...

"Snapped!"

Cheng Jiao slapped Zhao Ji's beautiful face, leaving five red fingerprints on it. This was considered a stamp of approval for Zhao Ji.

Phew! It feels so good~
Zhao Ji's pretty face was swollen. Even if Cheng Jiao didn't use his internal energy, relying solely on his physical strength, it was not something that Zhao Ji, a dancer who didn't know martial arts, could withstand.

"you!"

Half lying on the cold ground, Zhao Ji twisted her body like a beautiful snake, her eyes wide open, unable to believe that Cheng Jiao dared to attack her.

It hurts! It hurts like a piercing pain!

After years of living a life of luxury, she has forgotten what it feels like to be beaten.

Cheng Jiao squatted in front of Zhao Ji and lifted up her delicate chin.

"What a beautiful face, what a shame."

Zhao Ji's eyes were filled with fear and she couldn't stop shivering.

"You, you want to kill me!?"

Cheng Jiao shook his head. "Why would I kill you? You are my nominal mother after all."

Zhao Ji realized her own misconduct and couldn't help but feel resentful.

"How dare you attack me!"

"Snapped!"

Cheng Jiao slapped Zhao Ji's other pretty face without hesitation.

There was a swelling on each side.

Cheng Jiao nodded with satisfaction. He deliberately controlled the strength, forming relatively symmetrical red fingerprints on Zhao Ji's face.

Feeling comfortable~
This fucking obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Zhao Ji's face was swollen and she spoke incoherently.

"Cheng...Qianqian, I want, I want...you to eat..."

Cheng Jiao barely managed to understand that Zhao Ji wanted him dead.

I couldn't help but smile: "From today on, you are my master's. Remember to call me master."

Even though Zhao Ji's face was swollen, she still said stubbornly: "If you have the guts...if you have the guts, just...spill it."

"It would be a pity to kill you~"

Cheng Jiao tore off the red gauze covering Zhao Ji's body and took out a small thing from her arms.

Cheng Jiao played with it for a while. Although he didn't know what this mechanical-looking thing was used for, he could guess that it was probably used to transmit signals.

When Zhao Ji's red veil was torn off by Cheng Jiao, she thought Cheng Jiao was going to have sex with her. When she saw Cheng Jiao take out a shrill bee flute from his arms, she secretly thought something was wrong.

I didn't expect Cheng Jiao to be so meticulous.

"Next time you hide something, remember to wear something thicker."

Cheng Jiao patted Zhao Ji's exposed flat belly.

She was only wearing a bra and panties, and there was a toy hidden inside. Although it was covered by a red veil, he was not blind.

Looking at Zhao Ji, whose face was severely swollen but still as charming as ever, she was truly a great enchantress who could make men arouse impulses.

Her face was no longer as swollen and painful, and Zhao Ji, who had recovered, felt deeply humiliated.

"Humph! So what if you take the bee flute? As long as I don't leave within a quarter of an hour, Zhao Gao will bring people in!"

Cheng Jiao played with the wooden bee flute and asked curiously, "How do you use this thing?"

He would take responsibility for Old Zhao's unkind behavior himself, and there was no need for Zhao Ji to remind him.

Zhao Ji's breath was choked. She was so angry with Cheng Jiao that she simply closed her eyes, as if letting Cheng Jiao do whatever he wanted.

Seeing that Zhao Ji had given up struggling, Cheng Jiao sighed softly and picked Zhao Ji up.

He was a little helpless about this woman.

If he were not a prince of the royal family, he could still figure out how to persuade Zhao Ji.

But now...

Zhao Ji thought Cheng Jiao had compromised and wanted to coax her in bed.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Jiao threw Zhao Ji casually and she fell on the bed.

Fortunately, the bed was soft, otherwise Zhao Ji's fair and delicate body would have been covered with bruises.

"you……"

Zhao Ji endured the pain, rubbed her aching waist with one hand, and pointed at Cheng Jiao with her slender jade fingers with the other hand, unable to speak.

Cheng Jiao just glanced at Zhao Ji, and after confirming that she was not dead, he no longer took it to heart.

He is now preparing to contract Zhao Ji.

Although it is immoral, he has no choice now. It's because Zhao Ji colluded with Lu Buwei to deal with him, which makes him very passive.

From the contract with Bai Luan, it can be seen that although this dark contract scroll requires voluntary participation, it is probably enough to not resist, or be willing.

Otherwise, with Bai Luan's bond value of more than 20 points, it would be strange for her to have any good feelings towards him and be willing to sign the contract.

Zhao Ji felt a little uneasy when she saw Cheng Jiao's teasing eyes.

Today was really a dream for her.

She was still behind the curtain in the early morning, looking like the mother of the country, with thousands of people bowing to her.

After a few hours, it was as if she had returned to the time when she was a dancer, becoming a plaything in front of Cheng Jiao.

On the ground he was like a snake, on the bed he was like a dog.

Cheng Jiao didn't know what Zhao Ji was thinking. He was turning his only obedient collar, which he had never used, in his hand.

It’s a pity that I was so casual before, which made Yan Lingji and Madam Mingzhu bark like puppies.

Otherwise, combined with the Dark Contract Scroll, it would be perfect.

Fortunately, Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei tricked him, so that when his brain was working frantically, he remembered that he still had an obedient collar. Although it only lasted three seconds, it was enough to contract Zhao Ji.

This was also the reason why he had the confidence to beat Zhao Ji.

Saying such rude words to his face.

At least a kiss would calm him down...

Unfortunately, I didn’t kiss her, so I could only slap her twice.

You know what, it feels really good.

Zhao Ji was puzzled as Cheng Jiao's fingers kept moving in front of her eyes, as if he was spinning something.

But in her heart she was calculating the time. When Zhao Gao came in, she would make Cheng Jiao pay!

Now, even though Lu Buwei didn't say that he must kill Cheng Jiao, she had the intention to kill Cheng Jiao.

Cheng Jiao stopped turning the almost transparent obedient collar.

In the contract between Donghuang Taiyi and Zhao Ji, he prudently chose Zhao Ji.

God knows if this obedient collar is useful to the celestial being. If his spiritual power can resist it, wouldn’t he be at a great loss?

I muttered to myself, what good things can come out of this level one lucky wheel?

It's also good to be able to contract Zhao Ji, it's pretty good~
Zhao Ji looked at Cheng Jiao in horror as he stretched out his hand to slap her again, her heart in her throat.

She was really afraid that Cheng Jiao would continue to slap her in the face. With the force he had just used, her face would definitely be disfigured.

Due to extreme nervousness and fear, Zhao Ji closed her eyes and almost fainted.

Suddenly, Zhao Ji felt something on her lips.

Cheng Jiao found it somewhat amusing to see Zhao Ji with her eyes closed.

He pinched the obedient collar with his fingers and touched Zhao Ji's beautiful red lips.

He took out a dark contract scroll and spread it out, then cut a hole on the palm of Zhao Ji's fair and tender hand.

Zhao Ji opened her eyes in pain and looked at Cheng Jiao with some fear.

Cheng Jiao said calmly: "Sign."

Although Zhao Ji didn't understand what it meant, she was horrified to find that she could not control herself, and her bleeding little hand was already pressing on the scroll.

Countless tiny blood threads were entangled on Cheng Jiao and Zhao Ji. Cheng Jiao sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy and breathed a sigh of relief.

effective.

As expected, all I have to do is not resist.

Otherwise, he would really have to be a bad guy, torture Zhao Ji and force her to sign the scroll.

Looking at Zhao Ji standing on the phoenix couch, "You are lucky."

Zhao Ji stretched out her still bleeding little hand and placed it in front of her eyes, her eyes a little dull.

"You, what did you do to me?"

Cheng Jiao grinned and said, "What are you doing? Call the master to listen."

"Owner."

Zhao Ji kept her mouth open for a long time.

I couldn't believe that I would be so mean as to call Cheng Jiao "Master".

Cheng Jiao looked at the attribute points that only consumed one point and determined that the attribute points consumed were proportional to the strength of the signatory.

Zhao Ji is such a weakling, it would be high enough to use just a few attribute points.

It only costs ten attribute points to let her commit suicide.

I can't help but complain that this panel has the lowest consumption, it's fucking crap.

"How is it? How do you feel? Bark like a puppy and let me hear you."

"Wow, woof."

The sound was not loud in the palace, but it made Zhao Ji feel ashamed and angry.

"What have you done to me!?"

Cheng Jiao did not hide it either.

"You just signed the contract. Now you are my slave. In other words, you will do whatever I tell you to do, even if you don't want to. You should have experienced this just now."

Zhao Ji was stunned and wanted to refute, but didn't know how.

slave?

She is the queen mother, and there are few people in the world more noble than her. How could she become a man's slave, a lowly slave?

Cheng Jiao saw that Zhao Ji's pupils were dilated, and thought to himself, would she go crazy or become an idiot?
After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand.

When Zhao Ji saw this, she came to her senses immediately and crawled to the back of the phoenix couch.

"You...what are you going to do."

Cheng Jiao felt a little embarrassed, wondering if this would help Zhao Ji get over her psychological trauma.

"Climb over here!"

Another attribute point was spent to make Zhao Ji crawl in front of Cheng Jiao very "obediently".

His eyes were full of humiliation and fear.

Cheng Jiao gently reached out his hand and stroked Zhao Ji's face.

While his spiritual power was circulating, he helped to remove the redness and swelling on Zhao Ji's face, and also smoothed out the scar on the palm of Zhao Ji's hand.

It was as if it had never appeared.

Zhao Ji stared blankly at her palm which had become smooth again. If it weren't for the bloodstains on it, she would have thought that everything was just an illusion.

I subconsciously touched my cheek, it was still soft and tender.

The look he showed towards Cheng Jiao changed from humiliation and fear to awe.

Cheng Jiao looked at Zhao Ji's changing eyes and murmured in his heart, wondering if this woman had any masochistic tendencies.

But the good news is that now Zhao Ji has been conquered by him, so at least he doesn't have to worry about Zhao Ji doing anything behind his back.

If used well, it might be the key to defeating Lu Buwei.
