If things happened on Fan Sui's side were normal, then what happened on Lu Buwei's side next made Zhao Kuo a little doubt his own views.

Regarding this Lu Buwei incident, the person who came to report it first was not Lu Buwei, but Mao Sui.

Mao Sui said: "Master, Lu Buwei has some problems recently."

Zhao Kuo was a little confused: "What's the problem? Could he be in secret to rebel?"

In Zhao Kuo's opinion, Lu Buwei was also a famous official in history after all, so he shouldn't be so stupid, right?

Mao Sui hurriedly said, "The Lord has misunderstood. How could Lu Buwei rebel?

The main reason is that he always runs to the palace during this period, which is a problem."

Zhao Kuo: "..." Zhao Kuo seemed to understand something.

Ying Zichu, the king of Qin who was captured by Zhao Kuo, of course, wanted to follow Zhao Kuo back to Handan, so during this period, Ying Zichu continued to live in the palace of Qin, and the women of Ying Zichu also lived in the palace.

Lu Buwei went into the palace, of course it was impossible to find Ying Zichu. After all, Ying Zichu hates Lu Buwei to death now. It would be strange if he didn't kill Lu Buwei if he met.

Since I am not looking for Ying Zichu, I can only look for Ying Zichu’s woman.

Which woman?

You don’t have to think about it and know that it must be the queen of Ying Zichu, Zhao Ji! Why is Zhao Kuo so sure?

Zhao Ji was a dancer whom Lu Buwei bought from a brothel. Later, Lu Buwei met Ying Zichu in Handan City and decided to support Ying Zichu to take office, so he gave Zhao Ji to Ying Zichu to warm up the bed.

By the way, the son Ying Zheng, born by Zhao Ji and Ying Zichu, is still accompanied by Zhao Qian in Zhao Kuo's mansion.

And in history, Zhao Ji is a very good woman.

After Ying Zichu's death in history, Zhao Ji immediately rekindled his old love with Lu Buwei. Later, Lu Buwei felt that his health could not bear it, so he recommended another Lao Ai to enter the palace to have fun with Zhao Ji every day.

In this situation, although Ying Zichu is still alive, it is no different from being dead.

A woman like Zhao Ji who comes from a brothel is very snobbish, so she naturally has seen clearly that Ying Zichu, a king who has lost his country, is a waste, so it is completely natural to find a way to deal with "Lu Buwei, a future important minister of Zhao State."

Zhao Kuo touched his nose and said to Mao Sui lightly: "How long has this affair between Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji been?"

Mao Sui was stunned, obviously not expecting that Zhao Kuo would know the real answer so soon.

After a few seconds, Mao Sui said: "In fact, since Lu Buwei came to Xianyang... he has basically not stopped."

Zhao Kuo: "!!!"

Zhao Kuo was really surprised now.

What a guy, Zhao Ji didn't just hook up with Lu Buwei after Ying Zichu lost power, but she had already prepared for her.

Zhao Kuo said speechlessly: "Don't you know how dangerous this matter will be to you two after it is leaked?

Why not stop him in time or report it to me?"

Of course, there is no security problem with Lu Buwei's affair now, but in the Qin State before, if Ying Zichu knew that Zhao Ji had quietly slept with Lu Buwei again, would that be great?

It would be strange if Lu Buwei's whole family was not destroyed.

Mao Sui said sincerely: "To be honest, Lu Buwei has actually obtained a lot of information through Zhao Ji's line over the years, and has also had a great influence on Ying Zichu.

Moreover, even if Ying Zichu really noticed it, he would only execute Lu Buwei in the name of adultery, and would not cause too much damage to the minister and the Nightingale branch of Qin State."

Zhao Kuo: "..." Although it sounds strange, what Mao Sui said is really that.

Zhao Kuo rubbed his head helplessly and said, "Okay, I know. You can wait here first. When Lu Buwei comes, you will listen from behind, but don't show up."

Zhao Kuo sent someone to call Lu Buwei.

This matter still needs to be resolved, otherwise if it is spread, it will become "the minister of Zhao takes the opportunity to insult the Queen of Qin", and this reputation will be very bad.

The key is that after the spread, Zhao Kuo had no problem, but someone misunderstood that Zhao Kuo deliberately indulged Lu Buwei. Isn’t this a big deal?

Zhao Kuo didn't want to take the blame for the bad things in this guy's crotch.

Lu Buwei arrived soon and saluted Zhao Kuo excitedly: "I have met the lord."

Of course, Lu Buwei had reason to be happy, because after so many years of life in Qin, he was finally able to return to the center of Zhao's political arena again.

The State of Zhao is about to unify the world. It is of course much better to do things in Zhao than to be an undercover agent every day when he is worried about being a nervous person in Qin.

Zhao Kuo looked at Lu Buwei and said calmly: "Mr. Lu, do you still remember our previous conversation?

My husband once said that you have the talent of a minister! Until now, I still think so."

When Lu Buwei received Zhao Kuo's praise, he naturally felt even more happy and said with a smile: "Thank you for the praise of the Lord. In fact, as long as I can serve the Lord and fulfill some of my responsibilities for the Great Zhao, I will be satisfied."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "But, you obviously have a great future, why do you want to destroy your own future?"

Lu Buwei was stunned.

After a few seconds, Lu Buwei said in confusion: "The Lord means..." Zhao Kuo said calmly: "The meaning of this time is very simple. The affair between you and the Queen of Qin Zhao Ji has been exposed.

If it spreads, what would others think?

Oh, they would say, 'Zhao Kuo was lawless and allowed his subordinates to insult the Queen of Qin'.

But what's interesting is that I just learned about this matter today.

Do you think I should thank you for some reason?”

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Buwei's forehead and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"The lord is the minister who is confused. If the minister is confused, I will ask the lord to punish him!"

Lu Buwei is not stupid. It is impossible for a fool to help Ying Zichu ascend the throne, and he suppressed Qin Shihuang for so many years in history.

So he immediately knew the seriousness of this matter from Zhao Kuo's words.

If Lu Buwei just slept with a woman from Qin, there would be no problem, and even a woman from a high-ranking Qin official might not be no problem.

As for the winner, it is indeed very much to grab a woman from the loser, but this is something that everyone is a common operation.

However, even the queen slept, it was a bit too much.

In other words, the queen can actually sleep, but the person who sleeps should be someone like Zhao Kuo who has a sufficient identity to match the queen.

Lu Buwei?

To be honest, this identity is actually not enough.

Moreover, when Lu Buwei slept with Zhao Ji, Zhao Kuo took the blame instead. This behavior is the most taboo for the ministers.

Good guy, if you ask the Lord to take the blame for you, what else can you do?

Looking at Lu Buwei kneeling on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Where does murderous intent come from?

From the young man Zhao Zheng (Ying Zheng) who was far away in Handan.

Out of a certain feeling for Qin Shihuang, Zhao Kuo quietly raised Zhao Zheng and now he has become Zhao Qian's companion.

Zhao Zheng, that is the biological son of Zhao Ji and Ying Zichu.

If Zhao Ji followed Lu Buwei back to Handan, Zhao Ji would have the opportunity to meet Zhao Zheng in the future.

By that time, the problem will be a little troublesome.

Therefore, Zhao Ji must not return to Handan.

If Lu Buwei insists on taking Zhao Ji back to Handan, then Zhao Kuo can only neglect Lu Buwei, so that Lu Buwei will never go back to Handan in this life! Although Lu Buwei is very important, he is nothing if he compares with the young Qin Shihuang.

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "What are you going to do with this Queen of Qin Zhao Ji?"

At this moment, Zhao Kuo had already made up his mind that Lu Buwei's answer would determine his future destiny.

Lu Buwei said without hesitation: "You have learned the Lord and I have deeply realized the mistake. I will immediately follow the Lord and leave Xianyang. From now on, I will not have any contact with this woman again!"

For Lu Buwei, since he realized that this incident would have an impact on Zhao Kuo's reputation, all he wanted to do was to immediately cut off from Zhao Ji.

It is true that after so many years, Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji must have feelings in it.

But for Lu Buwei, Zhao Ji was just a mistress and was far from enough to let Lu Buwei take such a huge risk for her.

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said calmly: "I hope you can remember what you said today."

Lu Buwei was frightened and sweared repeatedly.

Finally, Zhao Kuo nodded slightly and said, "You can leave, be prepared, follow me to return to Handan in two days."

Only then did Lu Buwei get an amnesty, and then leave after giving thanks.

After Lu Buwei left, Mao Sui appeared again.

Mao Sui blinked and made a suggestion: "Master, since the matter involved in this woman Zhao Ji is so troublesome, it is better to let her die directly."

Mao Sui was the direct operator who quietly brought Qin Shihuang, who was still in his infancy to Wu Xinjun's mansion, and naturally he was clear about this matter.

As long as Zhao Ji is killed, even if Lu Buwei has any suspicion after seeing Zhao Zheng in the future, he will not be able to prove it.

Zhao Kuo pondered for a while and shook his head slowly.

"Forget it, it's just a woman.

If this man cares so much, wouldn’t he lose his identity?
