Ganquan Palace was silent at night, except for the cold wind blowing from time to time.
The moon is misty and dotted with stars.
Dressed in a red phoenix robe, Zhao Ji walked boredly in the garden of Ganquan Palace. She stopped in front of a tree and looked up at the tall and dense branches.
"Queen Mother, it's cold, you'd better go back early."
Li Wu, who was placed next to Zhao Ji by Luo Wang, looked at Zhao Ji's thin dress and persuaded her.
During this time, Li Wu always followed Zhao Ji, and getting along with Zhao Ji became more and more harmonious.
Although Zhao Ji, the Queen Mother of Qin, has a somewhat chaotic life style, and sometimes has to listen to the wall outside her bedroom, Zhao Ji is actually a good person. At least in Ganquan Palace, Zhao Ji never criticized the palace maids and chamberlains, and would reward them with many things during festivals.
When she was alone with Li Wu, Zhao Ji never had any airs. On the contrary, she treated Li Wu as a sister and shared her priceless clothes and makeup with Li Wu, just like a pair of good best friends. .
Although she had been taught the knowledge about dressing up to seduce men since childhood, Li Wu had never been exposed to such expensive dresses and makeup. She had only heard about it and had never even seen it.
Li Wu, who had been trained as a killer since childhood, also truly felt the kindness from Zhao Ji's every move, which she had never had or even experienced before.
But the killer's instinct still made her subconsciously wary of Zhao Ji's kindness, but Zhao Ji still treated her so kindly.
As time passed, Li Wu finally raised his doubts in person.
"Why does the Queen Mother treat me so well?"
"Because I want a sister."
Seeing the innocence on Li Wu's charming and delicate face, Zhao Ji just shook her head and whispered in Li Wu's ear, as if inviting Li Wu to become her sister.
Li Wu nodded in understanding.
Having been with Zhao Ji for a long time, she also knows Zhao Ji's suffering.
She was a famous and beautiful woman, but she became a widow early.
However, after his biological son took office, he was trapped in the heavy government affairs and had no time to accompany her. Only that...that stinky man would go to the palace to accompany Zhao Ji from time to time, to relieve her boredom and relax with her, but after all, there is also that stinky man who is not with Zhao Ji. When next to Ji.
Therefore, in Li Wu's understanding, Zhao Ji was too lonely.
And those palace maids and chamberlains... obviously couldn't accompany Zhao Ji. They didn't even have the courage to raise their heads and look at the most noble woman in the Qin Kingdom, so they had no need to be too restrained.
Thinking of this, Li Wu felt a little more sympathetic and understanding towards Zhao Ji, and did not refuse Zhao Ji's invitation.
However, Li Wu didn't seem to have thought about one thing. What kind of sisters does the majestic Queen Mother of Qin need?
When Zhao Ji saw Li Wu nodding, a smile appeared in her eyes, and a strange light flashed at the same time.
Just like Grandma Wolf who successfully tricked Little Red Riding Hood into her room!
She is weak on her own, and if Li Wu is added to her...
"You little thief, I really took advantage of you."
Zhao Ji secretly spat.
Faced with her sister's persuasion, Zhao Ji didn't pay too much attention. She just nodded lightly and continued walking towards the depths of the garden.
After taking the Panchi giant anaconda inner elixir given by Zhang Ji, Zhao Ji's physical condition also improved greatly.
Due to year-round dancing and hard work in the Zhao Kingdom, Zhao Ji's physique is stronger than most women, and the inner elixir of the Panchi Giant Anaconda gradually melts in Zhao Ji's Dantian, and is absorbed by the Dantian. It was absorbed and converted into the original internal force in Zhao Ji's body, which dispersed into Zhao Ji's limbs and internal organs.
According to Yang Qing, the son of the leader of the Fang Ji family, although this internal force cannot be mobilized by Zhao Ji who has not practiced martial arts, this internal force is improving Zhao Ji's physique all the time, just like practicing external skills. It will not harm Zhao Ji's body at all, and those minor disasters are not worth mentioning.
Therefore, Zhao Ji's physique at the moment is much stronger than that of Li Wu, a warrior who has only practiced internal skills. Even if Li Wu catches a cold, Zhao Ji will not catch the cold. Even Yan Ling Ji has entered the first-class realm. The warriors may not be able to compare with Zhao Ji in terms of physique.
Seeing that Zhao Ji was "accepting humbly and refusing to change despite repeated admonitions", Li Wu followed Zhao Ji helplessly.
Whether as the "sister" in Zhao Ji's words, or as the personal guard arranged by Luo Wang around Zhao Ji, she must follow Zhao Ji to prevent unexpected events.
Although no one from any country has violated the rule of "no assassination of the king" over the years, Li Wu would never be so foolish as to gamble on the morality and kindness of the enemy country.
Although she still retains the innocence of a girl who was born in a trap, she is not a holy white lotus.
Suddenly, Zhao Ji stopped under a tree.
It was a plum tree. Zhao Ji stretched out her long and slender green onion fingers and gently touched the delicate and white plum blossoms.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the entire land. The silvery moonlight shines in the garden, making the white plum blossoms even whiter, pure and sacred.
Smelling the elegant fragrance of plum blossoms, Zhao Ji's thoughts gradually drifted away and became sad.
Zhang Ji hasn't seen her for more than half a month, and he hasn't even been to the Qin Palace.
Could it be that she dislikes her for being old and tired of the old?
Zhao Ji stood under the plum tree and looked at her reflection on the lake.
Under the moonlight, Zhao Ji's skin is crystal clear, like gelatin, which can be broken by blowing, and her beautiful black hair is draped on her shoulders, soft and beautiful.
However, the pair of phoenix eyes as bright as autumn water on the reflected face on the lake are full of melancholy.
Zhao Ji sighed and slowly sat on the stone bench by the lake.
Li Wu stood by and looked at Zhao Ji silently.
She had become accustomed to Zhao Ji's appearance.
Zhao Ji is always elegant and noble on weekdays. In the eyes of others, she is the condescending Queen Mother of Qin, but Zhao Ji will show a bit of melancholy from time to time.
Li Wu knew that Zhao Ji missed that stinky man.
This is how people are, originally alone, they can still endure the lonely life in the luxurious and noble giant cage of Ganquan Palace.
But when a beam of warm and free light shines into this prison, the original loneliness can no longer be tolerated.
And Zhang Ji is the warm and free light that belongs to Zhao Ji.
However, Li Wu did not go to comfort Zhao Ji.
Because Zhao Ji would recover quickly every time and return to her original graceful appearance.
As expected by Li Wu, Zhao Ji adjusted her emotions after a moment.
In fact, Zhao Ji understood that Zhang Ji didn't dislike her because she was old and young. She also knew that Zhang Ji had been entangled by his wives and concubines in the past half month.
The reason is impeccable, to pass on the incense to the Zhang family and leave heirs, just like she has been urging Ying Zheng to go to the front line in person these days.
However, if possible, she also wanted to give birth to an heir for Zhang Ji, just like the loving couples who grew old together in the story Zhang Ji told her.
But she also knew that these were impossible.
She was lucky enough to meet Zhang Ji. How could she expect to live like an ordinary couple?
What's more, children...wait a minute, giving Zhang Ji a child, it seems...isn't impossible?
Zhao Ji's eyes smeared with bright red eye shadow were flowing, her eyes were slightly narrowed, and she pursed her moist red lips.
