Chapter 64 Ni Lin and Dong Huang Tai Yi
Honglian was stunned and turned to look at Cheng Jiao: "Now?"

Cheng Jiao smelled the fragrance emanating from Hong Lian and leaned over to whisper in her ear: "I'm willing to accept the defeat."

Honglian's face flushed more and more, and she whispered, "Okay, but you can't be here."

Cheng Jiao was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Honglian snorted, "I can't draw with you here!"

Whenever she saw Cheng Jiao, her heart started beating fast and she had no mind to paint.

"You go back first. I'll send it to you when I finish drawing it."

Honglian had a little plan. Now it was almost evening, and she was going to take the initiative in the name of delivering a painting.

When the time comes, she can go out of the palace to play. Han Fei disappears every day after returning to the palace, which makes her very angry. He promised to take her out to play!
Cheng Jiao looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed getting late, so he held Hong Lian's hand and said, "It's a deal then."

Honglian watched Cheng Jiao leave with some reluctance, and looked at the ink square inlaid with gems on the table in a daze.

As soon as Cheng Jiao left, a palace maid stopped him and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Sir, Madam Mingzhu wants to see you."

Cheng Jiao narrowed his eyes. He thought that there must be something wrong with inviting him at this time.

However, he is skilled and courageous. Ever since he discovered the power of spiritual power, he is now invincible against anyone.

In Madam Mingzhu's bedroom, Cheng Jiao looked at the beautiful woman's exquisite figure behind the veil and couldn't help but fantasize.

But I realized instantly that there was something wrong with the layout here. It was easy for people to let down their guard and amplify their emotions.

"My lord, you came to the palace, but you didn't come here to see me."

Cheng Jiao didn't say anything, but looked at Madam Mingzhu who walked out from behind the gauze.

From the chat with Honglian, he knew that Madam Mingzhu was not the queen, and the queen had died a few years ago. He just didn't know if she was related to Madam Mingzhu.

"I don't know why Madam sent someone to bring Cheng Jiao here."

Madam Mingzhu said quietly, "I heard that the young master established the Jubao Pavilion and the dividends were huge. I wonder if I can participate."

When Cheng Jiao heard Madam Mingzhu mention Jubao Pavilion, he immediately understood.

It seems that Ji Wuye has started to make plans.

Others don't know Madam Mingzhu's identity, but he knows it very well: she is the Night Tide Banshee.

"Anyone can participate if they want to. I wonder how much Madam is prepared to invest?"

"I don't have much money, only two thousand gold coins, I don't know if I can catch your eye."

Madam Mingzhu looked at Cheng Jiao and said a number.

She actually had no interest in Jubao Pavilion, but Ji Wuye sent her a secret letter, asking her to find Cheng Jiao and invest a share, and the money would be hers.

Madam Mingzhu naturally understood Ji Wuye's plan.

In any case, Cheng Jiao was a noble prince of the Qin royal family and was given the title of Lord Chang'an.

If anyone dared to kill Cheng Jiao at the gate of Qin, Han would surely suffer retaliation.

Lu Buwei even hoped that Cheng Jiao would die in Han State, so that he could have a legitimate reason to attack Han State and then take over part of Han State's land to increase his own prestige.

Although Ji Wuye didn't care, and even though a war would make his status even higher, he didn't want to take this risk. Being able to swallow this windfall safely would be enough for him to completely dominate Korea.

Therefore, after discussing with the Emerald Tiger, he decided to make Cheng Jiao the scapegoat and prove that everything was done by Cheng Jiao.

After that, by capturing Cheng Jiao, they had the initiative whether to send him back to Qin or let Qin redeem him.

Madam Mingzhu is the best choice to prove Cheng Jiao's guilt.

As long as he made a fuss at that time, the money he had originally intended to use to ease the empty treasury of the king was taken away by Chang'an Jun, and the crime was established.

By then, the seven nations will spread the rumor that the great Lord Chang'an of Qin would actually cheat the lady of another nation of her money.

Given the current factional rifts in the Qin court, Qin will certainly not start a war right away.

By then, no matter how much Chengjiao tries to argue, it will be useless. No one will believe him!
"Madam, you are joking. Even a big family would not have a easy time to come up with two thousand gold coins. How can you say it is too little?"

Madam Mingzhu, wearing a purple strapless palace dress and high-heeled boots, walked up to Cheng Jiao and looked at him closely.

Looking at Cheng Jiao's handsome face, he was quite handsome, it's just a pity.

Her cousin wrote to her, saying that Ming Ji Wuye's plan was not reliable, and asked her to find a way to control Cheng Jiao to prevent any accidents. Cheng Jiao saw that Madam Mingzhu didn't say anything, but just circled around him.

"Madam, it's getting late. Cheng Jiao will take his leave now."

Madam Mingzhu nodded with a smile: "Since you want to leave, I will not stop you. But I have something I want to trouble you with, I wonder if you are willing to do so."

Cheng Jiao perked up: "Madam, please speak."

"I have heard that Snow Peak Silver Shuttle is a top-quality tea, and I have always wanted to try it. I wonder if you can give me some tomorrow?"

Cheng Jiao seemed to be thinking about something: "If Madam wants it, it's fine. I will send some tomorrow."

Madam Mingzhu watched Cheng Jiao leave and fell into deep thought.

Through observation, she had determined that Cheng Jiao was not a mentally strong person. As long as she lit the Baiyue incense, combined with her own unique secret technique, assisted by illusion and charm, for several days in a row, it would be enough to completely control his mind.

This matter is not urgent, it needs to be done slowly, and she still needs to make some preparations just in case, such as the poisonous insects that need to be used.

Cheng Jiao strolled out of the palace, thinking about how to break the impasse.

Now that Ji Wuye has begun to cast a wide net for him, if he remains indifferent, he may fail.

At this time, Madam Mingzhu took money from him and threw it into Jubao Pavilion, and asked him to go to the palace tomorrow.

It can be seen that this is a plan to encircle and suppress him from both sides, leaving him nowhere to escape.

He was very clear about Madam Mingzhu's abilities. Just look at Han Wangan's behavior. He thought Madam Mingzhu was really his wife and slept in a dream every day.

Cheng Jiao narrowed his eyes. Since Madam Mingzhu wanted to attack him, he might as well take advantage of her.

Before we knew it, night fell quietly and the stars became brighter.

Cheng Jiao arrived at the gate of Zilanxuan and went in after a moment of hesitation.

Han Fei should have been ambushed last night, but he escaped the disaster.

Judging from Ji Wuye's character, he will obviously not give up targeting Han Fei.

He wanted to see what the reverse scale was. Are there really sword spirits in this world, or are there spiritual beings living in some things?

It is said that Donghuang Taiyi lived for hundreds of years, but I don’t know whether it is true or not. Could it be that Donghuang Taiyi, like Ni Lin, is a spiritual being attached to something?

This explains why he was able to live so long, and also explains why Donghuang Taiyi never shows his true face and hides himself so well.

With this thought in mind, Cheng Jiao stepped into Zilanxuan.

Zi Nu learned from Hong Yu that Cheng Jiao had arrived, and she got up and went over.

The conversation between Han Fei and Wei Zhuang was interrupted, and there was a strange look in their eyes.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, what do you think of Chang'an Jun?"

Wei Zhuang put down his wine glass, stood up and walked to the window.

"He is very smart, as smart as you. But he is not as smart as you."

Han Fei recalled his contact with Cheng Jiao.

It is indeed very clever, but it seems more like the wisdom of foresight, which is strange.

Zi Nu brought Cheng Jiao in, and Han Fei also got up.

"It's getting late, and I need to get back to the palace to rest. Thank you Miss Zi Nu for your hospitality."

Han Fei said while tipsy.

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "Brother Han, would you like to have a few more drinks?"

"I won't bother you two. I'm leaving now. See you another day."

Han Fei left tactfully, which made Cheng Jiao feel a little reluctant to see him suffer.

However, in order to verify my idea, I have to ask Brother Han for help.
