Chapter 422: No Waiting

The prostitute was half leaning on the phoenix couch, her narrow and long foxy eyes moving constantly.

"Guo Kai, you understand that even you and I cannot bear the crime of regicide."

Under his long-sleeved official uniform, Guo Kai wrung his hands.

"Queen, there is no need for us to say these hypocritical words. You secretly gave the king a slow-acting poison, and I know something about it."

The queen stood up lazily, but she was not angry.

The fact that she was able to do so smoothly and without arousing suspicion was inseparable from her cooperation with Guo Kai.

"It's not easy to make Zhao Yan die normally in a short period of time. I think it would be better to let Cheng Jiao come to the palace to kill Zhao Yan. Wouldn't that be perfect? ​​Why do we have to conspire with you and me?"

Hearing Cheng Jiao's name, Guo Kai wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. How could he dare to make fun of that evil star?

The Queen slowly walked up to Guo Kai and asked, "Guo Kai, are you afraid of him?"

"Queen, I was able to escape with my life, but it was at a great cost. If Zhao Yan hadn't died, I would not have survived."

Guo Kai smiled bitterly.

"Now the King of Zhao is lying on the dragon bed in anger because most of the city guards were killed, Sima Shang was killed, and the commander of the imperial guards was killed. This is a rare opportunity. If the queen does not seize the opportunity, who knows how many years it will take to poison Zhao Yan after he recovers."

The Queen did not comment, "If you had been able to fully cooperate with me before, why would you have let Zhao Yan live until now."

Guo Kai was helpless. He had originally planned to establish a deep "relationship" with Zhao Qian and then fully cooperate with Queen Chang. But who knew that Cheng Jiao would suddenly appear halfway.

"Queen, this is a different time. Now Cheng Jiao is in Handan. This is a rare opportunity. If it doesn't work out, there are others to take the blame. Let's take a gamble now and everyone will be happy."

The Queen snorted coldly, "He caused Qian'er to be bedridden for half a month, and now he wants Zhao Wangyan to die."

"As the saying goes, only when the cold comes do we know that pine and cypress are the last to wither. Your Highness has gone through this ordeal, which is quite beneficial to his growth. Your Majesty, don't mind it. Who knows, Your Highness can become a wise ruler and revive the time of King Wuling of Zhao."

Guo Kai smiled awkwardly, feeling sad in his heart. He was no less miserable than Zhao Qian. Not only was he unable to function, but now even his life was in the hands of Cheng Jiao.

"Okay, Cheng Jiao hasn't arrived yet?"

The queen calculated the time.

She didn't mind letting go of Qian'er's vengeance first and joining forces with Cheng Jiao. It wouldn't be too late to settle the score after Zhao Yan died.

The most important thing is that with Cheng Jiao's participation, she can use some drastic measures on Zhao Yan. If she can't clean up the mess at that time, she can just throw the blame on Cheng Jiao as Guo Kai said.

Guo Kai was relieved to see that the queen had no objection.

He was also gambling, betting that Li Mu and his men would kill King Yan of Zhao before returning to the capital, and with him and Queen Chang, they would definitely be able to control the rest of the situation.

In order to fulfill Cheng Jiao's promise, he had to fight.

In this way, not only can Cheng Jiao's request be met, but Cheng Jiao will not be dissatisfied. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"It will be almost time, Queen. At most, it will take a cup of tea."

"Okay, I'll wait for him here."

……

Led by Queen Chang's personal maid, Cheng Jiao came to an ordinary room in the main hall.

The Great God of Destiny was stopped outside the door by the palace maid.

Cheng Jiao said casually: "You wait outside first."

Da Siming said no more. She folded her hands and leaned against the wall. She was in a bad mood and felt very melancholy.

When Guo Kai saw Dao Chengjiao, he quickly said, "Chang'an Jun, you are here."

He didn't dare to call him brother casually now. What if Cheng Jiao got unhappy and killed him? That would be too unfair.

Cheng Jiao looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.

The intuitive impression is... this is a woman who can make a man's back ache. She exudes the charm of a mature woman from head to toe.

Especially those just the right amount of foxy eyes, coupled with a very amiable face, which make people feel moved and want to conquer this woman.

"Meet the Queen."

The queen was unhappy to see Cheng Jiao being so casual, what a rude boy. But since this was a secret plot, she couldn't care too much about it.

"Lord Chang'an, I have already learned from Guo Kai. It was indeed with Guo Kai's help that I drugged Zhao Yan for two years. Since you want Zhao Yan to die a normal death in a short time, I need you to agree to one condition of mine."

Cheng Jiao sipped the tea from the Zhao Palace and said, "Queen, please speak."

"Tomorrow, you will come to the palace and protect me. Zhao Yan is guarded by two top masters. If something goes wrong, I will die there."

The Queen blinked her beautiful eyes. This is why she wanted to cooperate with Cheng Jiao.

According to Guo Kai's description, Cheng Jiao is quite powerful.

She had no trustworthy expert around her to protect her life, so she didn't dare to do it.

The poison was administered secretly and the dosage was so small that even the eunuchs who checked it did not notice anything wrong, whether they used the instrument or drank it themselves.

The disadvantages of this are obvious. Once Zhao Yan meets a guy with superb medical skills, he may be able to cure his chronic poison.

This is also where Guo Kai cooperated with her. The good imperial doctors were taken away by various means, and those who stayed were all good-for-nothings. Occasionally, he would look for doctors with great reputations but no real skills to enter the palace to further paralyze Zhao Yan.

Various means were used to make Zhao Yan's health deteriorate day by day without arousing suspicion from outsiders.

Neither Zhao Ya nor Li Mu knew about her plan with Guo Kai.

When Zhao Qian ascends the throne and becomes King of Zhao, Li Mu will die, and Zhao Ya will also die!
Cheng Jiao put down the cup and said, "Okay."

For him, it was just a piece of cake.

If he didn't want to make too much trouble and cause other countries to unite because of his pressure, he wouldn't mind killing Zhao Yan by force.

Seeing Cheng Jiao being so straightforward, the queen felt more appreciative of him.

If that waste Zhao Yan had half the strength of Cheng Jiao, she wouldn't dare to have any evil thoughts.

Unfortunately, not only does he not have Cheng Jiao's ability, but he also talks big all day long.

She didn't kill this one or that one, and even let Li Mu, who insulted her to her face and mentioned that she was a prostitute, go without any mercy.

She knew that Zhao Yan didn't love her at all. He occupied the position of King of Zhao but didn't help her. What was the point of having him be the King of Zhao? It would be better to give it to Qian'er!
After a brief communication between Cheng Jiao and Queen Chang, Cheng Jiao and Guo Kai left the house to avoid being noticed by anyone.

Guo Kai rubbed his hands and said, "Changan Jun, I wonder if you have anything like Monroe."

Cheng Jiao asked in confusion: "What do you want that thing for?"

He knew about Zui Menglu because Mengniang compiled what she had learned and wrote it into a book, which he then read after reading it.

"Well, Brother Guo wouldn't be..."

Guo Kai no longer concealed his guilt and did not use Zhao Wangyan as a shield.

"Mr. Chang'an, you don't know that, after you displayed your might in Yafei Pavilion that day, I was severely frozen, and then..."

Cheng Jiao understood. No wonder such a shrewd guy like Guo Kai could easily collude with Lu Buwei and attack him.

"Well, I'll give you a bottle after the matter is done."

Guo Kai was overjoyed: "More..."

"Fifty thousand gold coins, payable on the spot, no waiting after the deadline."

"..."
