Chapter 247: Stubborn Plus One (asking for monthly ticket)
"Oh--"
"Lead the way!" Zhao Yuanxi got off the carriage, his face so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out.
"Empress Dowager!" You called softly.
Zhao Yuanxi gave her a look and said calmly, "Take good care of Fusu and Ziying."
"Grandma, we want to go too!" The two little guys looked at her eagerly, looking eager to try.
"Be good, wait until you can beat me before you talk. Now just wait here for me to come back."
Seeing that the Great Mother looked like she was going to beat someone up, Fusu and Ziying were a little scared, but also became more and more excited. They were usually spanked by the Great Mother, and had never seen her spank anyone else.
Zhao Yuanxi went in with his men.
Inside the courtyard, the two groups were still confronting each other.
A beautiful woman was holding a short sword in her hand, her body tense, her gorgeous clothes slightly disheveled, and she glared coldly at the group of people opposite. Next to her stood a child about eight or nine years old, hugging her legs and shivering, but not taking a single step back.
"Mi, don't think that just because Zhang Liang showed his face in front of the King of Qin, you can ride on our coattails. Now you are trapped here like us, unable to leave."
"In Korea, we can call you Madam Mi, but here you have to be our servant, otherwise you won't have a good life."
The lady opposite raised her head slightly with a look of disdain, and there were many people following behind her.
Madam Mi sneered, "So Lady Ji also knew she was trapped here. What's the matter? You couldn't find the King of Han to back you up, so you came to me to vent your anger?"
"You're such a sharp-tongued person! If Zhang Liang hadn't instigated the King of Han to surrender, leading us to this state, how could someone like you have the right to speak to me?"
Concubine Ji was furious. King Han An only took away his queen and several wives. Concubine Ji was the highest-ranking concubine among them. She always thought that King Han doted on her and treated her like a treasure, but at this time, King Han ruthlessly abandoned her. How could she be willing to accept this?
Lady Ji couldn't afford to offend anyone else, so she could only vent her anger on Zhang Liang's mother.
The group of people behind her were all noble ladies who were forced to come to this poor place from the well-off South Korea. They all had a lot of anger in their hearts. Just when Zhang An was summoned away by the King of Qin, they took the opportunity to make trouble.
Lady Ji sneered, "If you kneel before us today, kowtow to us a few times, and hand over what you've obtained these days, I will let you go."
Many people heard the noise and came here to watch the excitement.
After hearing this, everyone understood what Lady Ji was planning.
The palace is actually an exquisite cage. Apart from daily meals, it does not provide anything else. If you want to live well here, you have to spend your own money.
Those who retained their official positions or titles could receive salaries from the Qin State, but those who had become commoners could only live on their savings.
Everyone has limited money. A concubine like Ji Meiren, who was abandoned by the King of Han, can only find ways to snatch money from others in order to live a better life.
Although Zhang Liang was valued by the King of Qin, his mother was still here. Even if one day Zhang Liang really took her out and learned about the grievances suffered by Mi, he could not reach into this palace.
The Mi family could only suffer this loss today.
Zhao Yuanxi listened for a while and wanted to vent his anger on Mi, but when he saw her cold and arrogant look, he suddenly wanted to see how she would respond.
"If you want it, then come and get it yourself!" Madam Mi made a sword flower and looked at them coldly.
"You, you are really planning to attack me again? If you use a sword to injure someone in the palace, you will be imprisoned. Aren't you afraid that your son will die here without anyone to protect him?"
"It doesn't matter. Before that, I will kill you first."
Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but want to whistle, looking at Mrs. Mi with shining eyes. Why couldn't she say such a charming word?
She clearly looked like a gentle and dignified lady, but her affectionate eyes were now cold and sharp, revealing a murderous aura, like a plum blossom standing upright in the cold wind, which made people love her.
Zhao Yuanxi now knew who Zhang Liang's personality resembled. Wasn't it that he inherited it from Madam Mi?
Lady Ji was so frightened that her body trembled, and a hint of hesitation flashed across her face, but she couldn't retreat. If she retreated, the people behind her would no longer listen to her!
At that time, she would only live a worse life than Mrs. Mi.
"Don't be afraid, let's arrest them together. She won't dare to use a knife on us."
Seeing that a battle was about to break out, the guards were allowed to step forward to stop it, "Don't move!"
Zhao Yuanxi followed and said with a smile, "What a lively scene! How about I join in?"
Everyone looked at her, their eyes full of confusion.
Only those who had seen her in Zhao recognized her identity, "Empress Dowager!"
"Your Majesty, why are you here today?"
Zhao Yuanxi didn't recognize him, but he could tell from his attire that he was from Zhao. He nodded at him and said, "I'm here to pick up two people."
Many people's eyes lit up and they looked at her expectantly, hoping that they would be the lucky one.
"Who are you looking for? Let me show you the way."
Zhao Yuanxi laughed. How could she not know that there were such flexible people among the Zhao people? "What's your name?"
"The villain Zhao Gao."
???
You are Zhao Gao, then who is in the Qin Palace now?
Zhao Yuanxi was stunned for a moment. After calming down, he looked this person up and down. His fawning attitude was quite similar to that of Gao Sheng.
She chuckled. Is there some kind of curse on Zhao Gao's name? Why are so many of them like this? They all have the talent to be treacherous ministers?
"No, the person I'm looking for is right here."
Zhao Yuanxi looked at Madam Mi and said with a smile, "Although this is our first meeting, Madam, you are truly impressive."
Madam Mi tightened her grip on the dagger, then slowly lowered it, "I greet the Empress Dowager."
"Why should we be so polite? Swords have no eyes. Madam, please put away your sword first!"
There are so many people here, it would be a big trouble if any of them got hurt.
Madam Mi lowered her eyes and sheathed the dagger.
"I've been sent by Zhang Liang to take Madam to stay temporarily in my palace. Would you be willing to leave with me now?"
Madam Mi took a half step back, her face serious, "Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, for your kindness. I'm very happy here. Please also ask Her Majesty the Queen Mother to tell him not to come to me again."
Zhao Yuanxi looked up in astonishment, only to be met with eyes filled with hidden sorrow. "Are you—blaming him?"
Madam Mi avoided Zhao Yuanxi's gaze and said calmly, "Now I just want to live here quietly and raise Lan'er."
Zhao Yuanxi sighed helplessly, "You two, mother and son, are truly more stubborn than each other."
Zhang Liang was a difficult and stubborn person at first, and his mother thought he was even worse than that.
