Chapter 235: Visiting the Empress Dowager at Night, the Empress Dowager Lifts Her Skirt!
The eerie atmosphere in the courtyard gradually dissipated as the Sword Spirit returned to the sword.
Li Mo got up with the wooden box and walked outside.
Upon reaching the villa’s gate, he lightly leaped and hid the wooden box behind the gate sign.
This way, even if he’s not home, the house is still protected.
This is far better than an automatic alarm system.
An alarm system just makes some noise.
But this thing can actually take action against someone.
After placing the Reverse Scale Sword, Li Mo patted the dust off his hands and walked towards the backyard.
He felt like he had forgotten something, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn’t remember.
Everything that needed handling was handled.
He had given a proposal to Han Fei.
Personnel had already been arranged to be sent to Zhao.
Eliminating Han caused no losses to Qin, so the army didn’t need rest and could directly march on Zhao.
However, the problem is that Zhao has a military god, Li Mo.
It’s not easy to conquer Zhao.
But it doesn’t matter.
Let’s not forget, they not only have the military god Li Mo but also the “war god” Guo Kai!
Guo Kai is a well-known traitor even in later generations.
The fall of Zhao is directly related to him.
He was a genuine sycophant, avaricious and cowardly.
Yet, Zhao’s king greatly trusted him.
Back then, Zhao’s famous general, Lian Po, was not reused because of private enmity with Guo Kai, who slandered him in front of the Zhao Emperor.
This led Lian Po to receive less than heavy use.
Historically, Li Mo was also executed under the false charge of rebellion because of Guo Kai’s treachery.
Single-handedly, Guo Kai managed to kill two military gods of Zhao.
A definite “war god”!
Knowing there is a shortcut, how can Li Mo abandon it?
Maybe it’s cruel to Li Mo, but war has never known right or wrong.
If Li Mo doesn’t die, countless soldiers of the Qin State will.
Li Mo has already arranged for someone to bribe Guo Kai in the Zhao State.
As long as they take care of him, Zhao State is not far from perishing!
Bribing this treacherous minister isn’t something that can be done with just a little money.
Although I have money now, I am not a spendthrift.
I can pay the money upfront, but I must get reimbursement from Emperor Qin later.
Spend three thousand gold but report it as ten thousand gold.
Earn seven thousand gold for nothing, isn’t this faster than doing business with Sister Zi?
Li Mo is not worried about Ying Zheng defaulting on the payment.
Emperor Qin has much more vision than his cheap old mother.
A mere ten thousand gold for a Zhao State, what does it matter?
The Empress Dowager’s credit with Li Mo is severely compromised now.
Last time, the bounty for killing Lu Buwei was shamelessly denied by her.
Women are just too petty.
Don’t know if she is really stingy or just targeting him.
Thinking of this, Li Mo abruptly halted his steps!
He finally remembered something he hadn’t done!
He hasn’t visited that old witch for more than a month!
He had promised her that regardless of whether she returned the power or not, he would visit her every few days.
Later, because of the quarrel about her returning the power, he didn’t go to see her, and then he went to Han.
After returning, he completely forgot about it!
“Big trouble now!”
Li Mo’s lips twitched, suddenly feeling a chill.
“Someone, prepare the carriage, I’m going to the palace!”
No time to think more, he turned and ran outside.
When the Empress Dowager hadn’t returned the power, he could still argue.
But later she returned the power to Ying Zheng, and he still stood her up, wouldn’t that old witch swallow him whole?
When Li Mo arrived at the palace, it was already dark.
He thought that no matter how dark the sky was, it couldn’t be darker than the old witch’s face.
But the situation was somewhat unexpected.
Zhao Ji’s pretty face was blushing like the sunset, and there was a hint of haziness in her charming eyes.
She seemed unaware of Li Mo’s arrival.
A few palace maids stood by in fright.
They were hesitant to advise her but did not dare to step forward.
Seeing Li Mo’s arrival, they looked like they had seen their savior, rekindled with hope.
“Greetings, Master.”
Li Mo waved his hand at the bowing palace maids.
Frowning, he asked, “What happened?”
Zhao Ji leaned on the table, her beautiful face blush like the sunset.
The luxurious phoenix robe was half open at the collar.
It seemed she felt too hot, so she opened a slit for ventilation.
Her ample bosom was quite magnificent.
The deep cleavage in the middle looked like it could swallow people.
With delicate fingers holding a half-spilled wine cup, she drank.
Crystal clear wine spilled from her rosy lips.
Radiating a tempting glow under the candlelight, the wine flowed down her smooth chin and neck.
Disappearing into the cleavage.
Like a river flowing into the sea, able to contain anything.
The scene was vibrant and captivating, arousing one’s spirit.
The temptation was at its peak.
But Li Mo had no time to appreciate it.
The Empress Dowager never drank before, let alone getting this drunk!
The palace maid answered quietly, “We don’t know either, the Empress Dowager started drinking a few days ago.
“At first, it was just a few sips, but then she drank more and more.”
The maids worried about her health but didn’t dare to advise her.
They all knew her temper.
She already got angry easily without drinking, and now, who would dare to go against her, risking their lives?
Li Mo gently waved his hand.
“All of you, leave. I will persuade her.”
The maids were eager to leave.
If there’s anyone in Qin State who isn’t afraid of the Empress Dowager’s anger, it has to be the Master.
Even Emperor Qin would be cautious of the Empress Dowager’s mood.
But the Master… he didn’t care at all!
The maids quickly shuffled out.
With a creak, the heavy palace door closed from the outside.
These maids knew their place!
In her drunken haze, Zhao Ji only raised her head after hearing the door close.
With hazy eyes, she glanced sideways at Li Mo.
Lightly opening her cinnabar lips, she said faintly, “Get lost.”
Li Mo ignored her words.
Instead, he walked over and sat opposite her.
Picking up the wine pot on the table, he shook it near his ear.
Praising, he said, “The Empress Dowager has such a good capacity for wine; she’s almost finished this pot.”
Though his words sounded like praise, they were full of contempt.
Getting this drunk after not even finishing a pot? How dare you drink like this with such a low tolerance?
You’re lucky to be the Empress Dowager; otherwise, in the future generations, this alcohol tolerance would get you taken advantage of in no time.
Zhao Ji detected the sarcasm in his words.
She sneered and lifted her skirt.
It was already early summer, and although her phoenix robe had been changed to a thinner type, it was still rather substantial.
Because Zhao Ji wanted to feel cooler, she wasn’t wearing underpants under her phoenix robe, unlike before.
At this moment, as she lifted her skirt, her smooth and fair calves were immediately exposed.
Beside her lotus-like legs lay two empty wine pots.
