Chapter 145: Open Your Heart

Qin Zhaoqiong has been in the army for a long time and doesn't care about so many things.

But she knew that her sister loved cleanliness, so she took the time to take a bath before entering the house.

"I haven't slept yet, come here quickly."

Hearing her sister's call, Qin Zhaoqiong walked to the bed hesitantly.

"What are you standing there for?" Qin Zhaoyue patted the empty space beside him. "I don't mind, but my elder sister has to get up early tomorrow to take care of official business."

Seeing that his sister looked normal, Qin Zhaoqiong sighed and wondered what was wrong with him.

She immediately lay down, lying straight, half a body length away from her sister.

Qin Zhaoyue sniffed lightly and smelled a refreshing and cool fragrance, then he leaned closer.

"Sister, did you take a bath? What kind of bath beans did you use?"

Qin Zhaoqiong tensed up instantly.

Her younger sister was sticking to her right side, her arms draped unrestrainedly across her abdomen. Her little head leaned forward, and her breath made her neck itchy.

She was not used to wearing perfume. Firstly, there was no such condition in the military camp or on the battlefield. Secondly, wearing perfume with a special smell would easily expose her whereabouts.

Today, I ordered a bath soap for some unknown reason. I didn't expect my sister to find out this secret. I felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"No...nothing, maybe some mint."

"Is that so..." Qin Zhaoyue half-closed his eyes, and the ending tone was drawn out with wanton laziness.

Qin Zhaoqiong was so nervous that she forgot how to breathe.

I remember when I was a child in the Qiandi Palace, my sisters would occasionally sleep on the same bed with her.

But after the Queen Mother ascended the throne and entered the palace, everyone was assigned their own palace and they were never so close again.

More than ten years have passed, and now I feel nervous because of the approach of my sixth sister. I can't help but sigh in my heart.

"Sixth sister... Zhaoyue?"

"Hmm..." He murmured in agreement as he felt sleepy.

Qin Zhaoqiong patted her head and said, "Zhaoyue, I have something to ask you."

"Just ask..."

Qin Zhaoqiong didn't know whether she was fully awake, but such a private opportunity was rare, so she wanted to ask her sister's true feelings.

"Are you really not interested in the throne?"

After a month of traveling, Qin Zhaoqiong's opinion of her changed completely, and she didn't know how many surprises he had given her.

He has a quick mind, is decisive and composed in times of crisis, and is gifted in martial arts. His Qi also has the ability to heal injuries...

Qin Zhaoqiong knew what her mother was thinking. Only by passing the throne to the princess would there be hope of preserving the national policy she implemented.

Before setting out to provide disaster relief, she also thought she was the most suitable person, but now...

"If my sister is interested, I can help..."

"Forget it!"

She couldn't sleep well, Qin Zhaoyue interrupted her rudely and immediately left her elder sister Cricket Pupa and went back.

"I've said it eight hundred times, I'm not arguing ... making a fuss."

Qin Zhaoyue turned around with a sour expression. Wasn't her performance during this period enough to dispel her elder sister's suspicion?

This shouldn't be the case. I was wearing her armor when rescuing the embankment, and I used my merit points to save her life. Isn't that enough?

Damn, the fight for the throne is really troublesome. Every royal heir is very cunning.

I'm almost asleep on the bed, and you're still testing me now, huh!

I don’t know whether Lao Wu is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. You can only judge a person by his appearance but not his heart. Who knows?

"Zhao Yue, that's not what I meant. I really mean it... Zhao Yue?"

Qin Zhaoyue stuck her butt out and closed her eyes, ignoring him. The little atmosphere of the sisters sleeping in the same bed late at night suddenly disappeared.

After calling out several times without any response, Qin Zhaoqiong opened her mouth in a daze.

She was telling the truth. If her sixth sister planned to compete for the throne, she would be willing to assist her.

She secretly kept a copy of the manuscript of "Women Should Be Self-reliant" and read it over and over again.

The sixth sister is clearly a man of many talents and abilities, and her ideals are aligned with those of the Queen Mother. There is no reason for her not to fight for the throne.

Tonight was an opportunity to be honest with each other, but Qin Zhaoqiong felt that he had messed up.

With a sigh, she lay back down again, staring at the tassels hanging from the ceiling in a daze.

For the next three days, Bailu Province was calm.

The cavalry sent to the surrounding counties have all returned, and there has been no spread of rumors.

Each county in the first wave has 20 riders. If five riders return a day, they can keep the news coming for four days. Later, a rotation method can be used to form a routine of reporting once a day.

All districts in Bailu County were on high alert, all Wuhou officers cancelled their holidays, and were working in three shifts to keep watch.

The people cooperated very well and even spontaneously organized temporary patrol teams.

They didn't understand politics and economics, nor did they know why the imperial envoy was so determined to cover up the issue of counterfeit currency. They just wanted to maintain a promising life.

Qin Zhaoqiong, King Rui, and the governor are the main figures who patrol the city every day to show that they are of the same mind.

For safety reasons, Qin Zhaoyue and Qin Jingzhan were both in the team, but they were just accompanying persons, and Qin Zhaoyue had never left the carriage.

Fengjing, Imperial Study.

After reading the urgent report from Xuanji Guard, Empress Qin Minghuang's eyes were as sharp as arrows.

The damn warlock, after failing to assassinate him once, actually tried to stir up civil unrest again!

In addition to the facts of what happened, the urgent report also includes a complete reasoning process, which is well-reasoned and convincing.

Originally, entrusting Zhao Qiong with the decision on minting counterfeit coins was a test.

This matter is neither big nor small, mainly because the two people in charge of this matter are very sensible.

No matter what decision Zhao Qiong made, she could have eliminated the impact, but she didn't expect such an accident to happen.

If they had not acted decisively, they might have been used by the sorcerers to stir up public resentment.

In addition, there was civil unrest in Qingyao Prefecture, Henei Prefecture and other three prefectures related to the private casting of ironware.

Considering the officials in the court, those noble families who have hidden their edge, and the northern and southern borders, the consequences are unimaginable!

Qin Minghuang's thoughts were racing, and he was unable to support more powerful Divine Martial Realm warriors at this time.

If we can temporarily hold back the issue of bad currency and stand up for King Rui, then we can naturally command the person next to him and protect ourselves.

call……

Qin Minghuang wrote furiously, and finished a letter after twenty or thirty breaths.

After fourteen years in power, it seems that some people have forgotten the bloody winter of the first year.

Just think of her as a woman who is old and wants to play it safe, and it's time to draw the knife.

"Use the seal and send it to Ziweitai."

"yes!"

In less than a cup of tea, the handwritten letter was delivered to the official in charge of Ziweitai.

Chu Xinglan frowned slightly, feeling a chill from the powerful handwriting that penetrated the paper.

The phoenix beak mark at the end is like a powerful arrow that has been shot from a bow, and it will not stop until it drinks blood!

"Your Majesty, I will see to it."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for a response, she disappeared from Ziwei Terrace.
