Chapter 435: Deep Love
The sky is dim.

Zhao Ya, dressed in plain white, was waiting quietly in the courtyard.

Cheng Jiao kissed the peacefully sleeping profile of the Snow Girl and then walked away.

As soon as Ya Fei saw Cheng Jiao coming out, she went straight over to him.

"Lord Chang'an, let's get going. The succession ceremony will be held in half an hour, and we need to arrive before then."

Cheng Jiao nodded slightly: "Okay, if we solve it sooner, you can follow me with peace of mind."

Ya Fei remained silent. This was the deal between them and she had nothing to refute.

He only hoped that his efforts would be rewarded, and that he would not lose both his wife and his army, and let Guo Kai succeed, and then he would have to follow Cheng Jiao and leave.

As for breach of contract... Ya Fei did not think that she was qualified to breach the contract in front of Cheng Jiao, who was in the Heaven and Human Realm.

She even felt secretly delighted that she could fulfill her childhood dream of marrying the most powerful martial arts man in the world.

……

Ya Fei and Cheng Jiao both chose to use Qinggong instead of riding in a carriage.

They went there to cause trouble, not to negotiate.

Ya Fei followed Cheng Jiao and said quickly, "It would be best if we come out after all the officials and military officers have arrived. There must be something wrong with Empress Chang Guo Kai letting Zhao Qian succeed to the throne so quickly. As long as we expose them on the spot, we can put the succession ceremony on hold. Two days later, when General Li Mu returns to the city, we will have the ability to fight Empress Chang and Guo Kai."

"You're right..." Cheng Jiao said casually.

This time he came here to work part-time as Ya Fei's bodyguard, and was not responsible for giving advice, talking nonsense, or other tasks.

After arriving at the Zhao Palace, Concubine Ya did not rush to take action, but first searched for clues in the palace, trying to find some evidence that was unfavorable to Queen Guo Kai.

"It's a shame. Guo Kai and Queen Chang are too cautious."

Ya Fei was a little annoyed. A lot of evidence was destroyed, many people disappeared inexplicably, and even her brother's top attendant was murdered, which made Ya Fei feel helpless.

After taking a look at the silent Cheng Jiao, Ya Fei felt a little relieved. Fortunately, Cheng Jiao was brought in. Otherwise, even if she found evidence, it would probably be captured by the masters raised by Queen Guo Kai.

There was a festive atmosphere in the hall.

But the civil and military officials standing in line had different expressions on their faces.

Anyone who finds himself having a good sleep and then waking up to be told that the weather has changed would be confused.

Although Zhao Yan's health had been a little poor in recent years and almost everyone in Handan City knew it, no one would have thought that he would just leave without even saying goodbye.

Guo Kai's eyes were dry, but his spirit was high.

As long as today passes, he will be Lu Buwei of Zhao State, he will be the father-in-law of King Zhao, and he will be the most powerful man in the entire Zhao State!

The queen, dressed in a phoenix crown and gorgeous clothes, looking extremely honorable, was sitting on the queen's chair with a smile on her face, looking at the ministers who were bowing their hands in respect. It was worth it for her to risk the death of her three clans in order to poison Zhao Yan.

Whatever Zhao Ji could have, she could also have.

Zhao Qian, who was standing beside Queen Chang, was dressed in royal robes and stood beside her with unusual courtesy.

The heat in his eyes could be seen by everyone. No one could resist the temptation of the throne. Zhao Qian looked at the throne with wild ambitions in his eyes, imagining that after he succeeded to the throne, he would expand the territory, achieve great ambitions, and surpass the beautiful dream of his ancestors.

Guo Kai spread out the forged will of Zhao Yan and read it aloud in public.

"...Qian is kind and righteous, respects his teacher and father... I personally decree that Zhao Qian shall succeed as the orthodox..."

Guo Kai finished the long speech without missing a word. He scanned the court and found that most of them were involved with him. As for some troublemakers, he did not notify them at all and even sent the city guards to keep an eye on them, just to prevent them from attending court and causing trouble.

"My Lords, do you have any objections to the late king's will?"

"I second the proposal..."

"I have objections!"

Zhao Ya, wearing red leather high heels, walked straight into the court, looking down upon everyone in the court, thinking they were all Guo Kai's dogs.

His heart sank. He didn't expect Guo Kai to be so shameless. None of those upright old ministers came.

Guo Kai's expression changed slightly, but he didn't wait for him to speak.

The Queen stood up and pointed at Zhao Ya, shouting, "Where are the Imperial Guards? Where are the Imperial Guards? Take down this troublemaker!"

Just as he finished speaking, a dozen dull sounds were heard from outside the hall. Inside the hall, at the same time, several skilled imperial guards fell to the ground with a "bang". They struggled on the ground and then fainted.

"How dare you! Who dares to trespass into the palace?"

Guo Kai shouted loudly, but when he saw Cheng Jiao coming in, he was speechless as if he had swallowed a goose egg.

He could never have imagined that it would be Cheng Jiao who came.

The queen's face also changed drastically. What did Cheng Jiao mean by this? Did he not recognize her after he put on his pants?

When Zhao Qian saw his enemy coming, he was about to shout and ask people to come and kill Cheng Jiao, but he was stopped by Queen Chang who had discovered him in advance.

When he thought about the fact that he was about to succeed the throne, Guo Kai, the old man, repeatedly stressed that he should not talk too much, or he would be impeached. Zhao Qian had to hold back, so as not to let himself fail to ascend the throne. He looked at Cheng Jiao, who was calm and indifferent, with a gloomy look.

The civil and military officials in the court were not so easy to deal with. They all took out their spiritual weapons and scolded Cheng Jiao.

Guo Kai was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he even felt a little dizzy as he hadn't slept all night.

"Silence! How disgraceful it is to make so much noise in the court!"

After Guo Kai calmed down, he hurriedly stopped all the officials from seeking their own death. If Cheng Jiao got angry, all the high-ranking officials of Zhao State would be wiped out today and rivers of blood would flow.

He personally witnessed Cheng Jiao killing thousands of city guards with one move, including Sima Shang, who was already a top-notch master. He didn't think that the people in the palace could withstand a few moves from Cheng Jiao.

Zhao Ya looked around and took a deep breath.

"My brother's body is still warm, and I'm going to appoint a new king..."

Although Guo Kai was timid, he didn't care about Concubine Ya. He interrupted directly, "The war between Yan and Zhao has just ended, and Qin has the intention of being a tiger or a wolf. We must be on guard. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. The old minister and the queen are also thinking about Zhao."

As he said this, he glanced at Cheng Jiao, wondering if Zhao Ya asked Cheng Jiao for help and Cheng Jiao couldn't refuse.

Seeing that Cheng Jiao told him that the Qin State had a heart of a tiger and a wolf, he didn't care at all, and it seemed that he didn't really want to help Zhao Ya.

Otherwise, he could have told Queen Chang and him directly. Would they dare to risk their lives to support Zhao Qian to take the throne?
Zhao Ya said angrily: "Guo Kai, my brother must have been harmed by you, and was killed by you!"

The ministers in the court remained silent. No matter how Zhao Yan died, whether he choked on drinking water or was poisoned, the person was already dead, so why talk about it.

Guo Kai was shocked. Did Cheng Jiao tell him about how he beat Zhao Yan to death? That was impossible.

But seeing that Cheng Jiao did not react, Guo Kai boldly said, "Don't talk nonsense! The king and I have been together since childhood and have a deep relationship. How could I harm him!"

Cheng Jiao couldn't help but smile. He had to admit that Guo Kai, who looked honest, was worthy of an Oscar nomination for his words.
