After seeing Ying Zheng off, Little Deer came in.
Five years have passed, and Little Deer has now reached the peak of the ninth rank. However, breaking through to the level of a minor grandmaster is extremely difficult.
Although it was only one step away, that one step was incredibly difficult.
Even with his extraordinary talent, Jian Chen still hadn't broken through to become a minor grandmaster after five years.
"How did it go?" Lu Li asked.
"Brother Lu, Zhao Ji... is pregnant."
Hearing Little Deer's words, Lu Li took a deep breath. This day was finally coming!
According to the course of history, after Zhao Ji became pregnant, she gave birth to two sons for Lao Ai. Later, Ying Zheng discovered their secret, and Lao Ai chose to rebel for the sake of his two children.
"Give the order to strengthen the guards around the King and let the eldest brother enter Xianyang Palace."
Upon hearing Lu Li's words, Little Deer was immediately taken aback. Let Jian Chen enter Xianyang Palace? Could something big be about to happen?
Although Jian Chen is still at the peak of the ninth rank, Xiao Lu'er, who is also at the peak of the ninth rank, is still no match for Jian Chen. In all the years they have competed, Xiao Lu'er has never won.
"Brother Lu, do you think someone could threaten the King of Qin's safety?" Little Deer asked doubtfully.
Lu Li smiled and asked in return, "If you had a child, would you want to plan for your child's future?"
Upon hearing this, Little Deer blushed, stole a glance at Lu Li, and whispered, "I...I guess so."
"That's it. Doesn't Lao Ai know how to do it? Let's take precautions!"
Little Deer nodded thoughtfully and was about to leave when Lu Li said, "You should stop monitoring Lao Ai for now. Let Chu Yi take your place."
Chu Yi was the eldest of the eleven children. By now, he was already capable of handling things on his own. Although his martial arts talent was not as good as Fusheng Xiaolu'er's, his specialty was tracking.
So far, he has never lost track of anyone he has been tracking; his lightness skill is truly exceptional.
"Ah? Okay... Chu Yi is back?" Little Deer asked.
Lu Li nodded; he had been in charge of monitoring the Mo family's movements.
However, the Mo family has been in seclusion recently and there has been no movement at all. Lu Li also doesn't have enough manpower, so he had to withdraw for the time being.
"Why should I do what you're asking me to do in Chu Yi's place?" Little Deer asked.
Lu Li glanced at her and said irritably, "You're staying by my side, you don't need to go anywhere else!"
Upon hearing Lu Li's words, Xiao Lu'er's pretty face immediately turned red.
Now, Xiao Lu'er is twenty-five years old, with a full figure, and she is becoming more and more charming!
At this age, in this era, children can run around everywhere.
But she always stayed by Lu Li's side. How could Lu Li not know her feelings for him?
But for Lu Li, it was still somewhat unacceptable.
Because in the future, at twenty-five, one would only have graduated from university less than two years ago, and it would be too early to talk about marriage.
After a while, neither of them revealed their true feelings.
"I...I'm going to see Cangwu! I haven't seen that brat in ages."
After saying that, the little deer hurriedly fled from Lu Li's residence.
After the little deer left, Lu Li's eyes immediately dimmed.
How could he not have feelings for the little deer? It's just that over the years he seems to have discovered some secrets about his own body.
Even the appearance of Cangwu, a man envied by the heavens, has changed, but he himself has not changed at all!
Moreover, he experimented countless times during this period and found that no matter how many times he cut his skin, it would heal the next day!
This made Lu Li very anxious, because he didn't know what was happening to his body.
That's why he always suppressed his feelings and never revealed any romantic feelings to Xiaolu'er.
The Qin state, Xianyang Palace.
When Zhao Ji learned that she was pregnant, she immediately became flustered.
He originally did not intend to keep the child, but in the end he could not resist Lao Ai's desperate pleas, so he decided to move away from Xianyang first.
She first lied, claiming she had a nightmare and feared misfortune, so she moved to Yongcheng, intending to give birth there secretly before returning to Xianyang.
Or perhaps she simply wouldn't return to Xianyang and would stay here with Lao Ai for the rest of her life!
When Ying Zheng found out, he did not suspect anything, because at that time he still thought Lao Ai was just a eunuch and did not think much of it.
However, Lü Buwei sensed something fishy. After all, he was the one who gave Lao Ai to Zhao Ji, and Lü Buwei knew all too well whether Lao Ai was a eunuch or not.
"Prime Minister, the Empress Dowager has already moved out of Xianyang," said one of Lü Buwei's attendants.
Lü Buwei squinted, took a deep breath, waved his hand, and dismissed the servants.
"Hopefully, I'm just overthinking it!"
A year after Zhao Ji moved to Yongcheng, she gave birth to a son, and less than a year later, she became pregnant again.
She believed she was getting away with it and was enjoying family bliss and marital bliss in Yongcheng.
Little did she know, everything she did was under Lu Li's surveillance.
With the birth of his second child, Lao Ai's ambition could no longer be suppressed.
Taking advantage of the time Zhao Ji spent with the children every day, he began to recruit a large number of retainers, and even got Zhao Ji to grant him a special favor, which resulted in him being granted the title of Marquis!
Ying Zheng finally realized something was wrong. One night, he secretly went to Yongcheng and caught Lao Ai and Zhao Ji lying in the same bed.
He felt as if struck by lightning, suppressing his urge to kill Lao Ai. He hung his Qin King sword above their bed as a warning.
