Chapter 174 It was all done by Madam Mingzhu!
The dawn had faded, the sun shone brightly in the sky, and its golden rays bathed the earth, warming everyone.
Ying Jing, supporting his back, walked out of the residence of the Left Sima.
As he was about to leave South Korea, Ying Jing certainly wouldn't forget about Madam Hu.
Although his heart has been divided into many pieces, and he has become slightly more benevolent, Lord Changxin will absolutely not take responsibility for what he has done.
Nongyu was about to leave Han with Ying Jing, and Lady Hu didn't linger here much. When Ying Jing invited her to go to Qin, Lady Hu only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"But I would appreciate it if Your Majesty would take extra care of my sister..."
Nongyu has been found and has a good home. Hu Meiren, her younger sister, is Madam Hu's only concern and only worry in Korea.
"Don't worry too much about this. Someone will take care of it. After some time, you may be able to see her in Qin."
Ying Jing waved his hand. Lady Mingzhu has been quite active lately, and the matter of Honglian was her doing.
The Luo Wang network closely monitors all the movements of South Korean high-ranking officials, and it was not entirely unaware of Madam Mingzhu's actions towards Consort Hu.
To this, Ying Jing could only say...
Well done, just what I wanted!
……
The spacious carriages set off again, and the caravan was on its way home.
Besides the original group that came with them, they also brought a few more people back with them on the way.
Madam Hu, who had just arrived, was accompanied by... Han Fei, and Honglian.
Han Fei needs no introduction; he was the white moonlight that Ying Zheng longed to see.
Ying Jing naturally wanted to fulfill Zheng Ge's small request. Fortunately, Han Wang An was also very sensible and willing to help others. He did not obstruct the matter at all and even seemed somewhat happy about it.
Aside from Zheng Ge's reasons, Ying Jing brought Han Fei to Qin because he didn't want him to stay in Han and cause more trouble.
Although Han Fei encountered setbacks everywhere after returning to Han from Xiaoshengxianzhuang, he was unable to accomplish anything, not even establishing the Quicksand.
However, Ying Jing would never doubt his abilities.
No matter how dire the situation in South Korea may be, it is still Han Fei's country, and more importantly, his home.
Given Han Fei's character and abilities, it's hard to guarantee that he wouldn't find a way to persuade the states of Wei and Zhao to forcefully prolong the life of the state of Han, which would undoubtedly be a huge obstacle to the great cause of the state of Qin.
Taking Han Fei away is a good thing, both publicly and privately.
Li Si is still under Ying Jing's command. As long as Han Fei is kept in check and prevented from studying the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, his life should be spared and he should not be put to death.
In this way, having a relative by her side in Qin might lessen Honglian's resentment.
A princess of a nation, even in a marriage of convenience, should be married off in a proper and grand manner.
However, King An of Han probably felt it was a bit of a loss of face and was unwilling to make a big fuss, so he had Honglian go with Han Fei and they were quietly taken to the Qin Kingdom together.
Ying Jing swore that he absolutely did not make this request to King Han An.
Everything was Han Wang An's doing!
"No matter how despicable the King of Han is, he is still the King of Han. If someone hadn't used underhanded means, how could he have agreed to let Honglian become a concubine?"
Inside the carriage, Yan Lingji scoffed at Ying Jing's words, a smile blooming on her beautiful and charming face, but she only gave Ying Jing a disdainful look.
Although she had boarded the pirate ship, Yan Lingji knew the character of Lord Changxin all too well.
He must have been involved in this whole thing!
"Hmm... perhaps this has something to do with Madam Mingzhu."
Touching his smooth chin, Ying Jing whispered.
Jing Dashan would never do such a thing. As for what role Madam Mingzhu played in it, and how much effort she put in behind the scenes, that remains unknown.
Lady Mingzhu did indeed help Ying Jing a lot. After Bai Yifei defected, Ji Wuye stopped being a fence-sitter, and King Han An seemed to have completely resigned himself to his fate.
This made everything Ying Jing wanted to do go so smoothly that it was almost unbelievable; Han Fei and Hong Lian entered Qin without any hindrance.
Wearing a pink dress, Honglian sat quietly inside the carriage, looking quite serene and lovely.
Hearing Ying Jing and Yan Lingji's conversation, she finally couldn't help but nod in agreement, "Brother Jing is right, it's all that vixen Lady Mingzhu's doing!"
"I don't know what kind of spell she cast on my father, but he became so obedient to her with just a few words that he agreed to everything she said."
As Honglian spoke, she puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, her fair skin smooth and delicate, and her cute little feet stomped hard beneath her long, beautiful legs.
Yan Lingji was somewhat exasperated with this silly princess, and couldn't help but glare at her: "Don't you ever think about why Lady Mingzhu did this?"
Honglian didn't even hesitate. She took a breath through her delicate nose and said, "Is there any need to think about it? That vixen is utterly wicked. Does she need any reason to do bad things?"
That silly girl!
Seeing the foolishness revealed in Honglian's clear eyes, Yanlingji could only shake her head helplessly.
"Master, when exactly did you get involved with Madam Mingzhu?"
Yan Lingji was not as easily fooled as Honglian. She had already sensed that the relationship between Ying Jing and Lady Mingzhu was not as simple as it seemed.
Patting Yan Lingji's little head, Ying Jing said seriously, "What flirting? Lady Mingzhu just saw that the state of Han was about to fall and wanted to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."
Yan Lingji was still somewhat suspicious: "Was Madam Hu also Madam Mingzhu's doing?"
Ying Jing was slightly taken aback. How did this woman know everything?
He had specially arranged a carriage for Madam Hu, but he had no intention of making this matter public.
Ying Jing himself didn't care about this, but Madam Hu was unwilling, and they also needed to consider Nongyu's feelings.
Seeing Nongyu, whose eyes were darting around but kept glancing at him, and whose ears were even perked up, Ying Jing's throat suddenly became dry.
“Ahem… This matter has nothing to do with Madam Mingzhu. Madam Hu only went to Qin with us because she was worried about Nongyu. Besides, war is about to break out, and it is not safe to leave her in Han. This way, Nongyu can feel more at ease.”
This is a fact!
However, I only said a little bit less.
Nongyu's eyes were full of tenderness, brimming with tears that seemed about to overflow, and a beautiful smile bloomed on her fair face: "To have met my husband is truly the greatest fortune of my life."
boom!
Suddenly, a loud crash came from outside the carriage, sounding like stones rolling down.
Ying Jing frowned slightly, then heard Duan Shui's hoarse voice from outside: "Your Majesty, there is an ambush."
