Chapter 216 The Bad Truth
"A woman who turns against her husband is scary? What about me? If I turn against her husband, will I be scary too?" Yan Lingji's eyes wandered. She also had emotions in this matter. In her opinion, Yang Chong and Queen Zhao were a little too close. Although the two of them cooperated purely for mutual benefit, it still made Yan Lingji feel a little jealous.

"Whether it's scary or not, at least let me see it first before I know." Yang Chong pretended that he didn't hear the other meaning in Yan Lingji's words and continued to joke.

"I'm going to get angry." Yan Lingji glanced at Yang Chong, her towering chest rising and falling slightly. Did he really think that she was of the water element? She was a fairy of fire with strong attack power.

"Come, I'll help you. Let me see if you are very scary when you turn against me." Before Yan Lingji could react, Yang Chong had already put his arms around her waist.

With such force, he pushed Yan Lingji down on the bed, face down.

"Come, let me see how you turn against me." Yan Lingji thought as she struggled to get up.

He bent his waist and raised his buttocks, but there was no way he could struggle to get up under Yang Chong's palm.

"Let me go..." Yan Lingji struggled and became even more angry. Men are really no good. They don't know how to cherish what they have. In the past, when she got angry, Yang Chong would immediately come to coax her. But now, he only knows how to bully people.

In the midst of Yan Lingji's anger and grievance, she felt a chill on her back. It turned out that her thin shirt was torn open. As Yang Chong stretched out his arms, the light gauze dress fell to the side.

"This face is still so beautiful." Yang Chong looked at Yan Lingji under him. Because of her arched waist, her round buttocks like a full moon looked even more firm and perky.

Under the dim light, it reflected a faint glow, making it even whiter and more beautiful.

In this uniform color, there is a ravine that seems to be a work of nature, dividing it into two, and finally connecting them into a line, and finally disappearing into an unknown place in that magical arc.

"Face? What face?" Yan Lingji, who was being held down, was slightly stunned. She was unable to react for a moment, and then she began to struggle even more violently.

During her struggle, she even trembled. Seeing Yang Chong's index finger was already moving, she unconsciously leaned down and pressed her lips and teeth on it, at the entrance...

"Ah!" Yan Lingji screamed. She was bitten, but at this time she also reacted and realized what the so-called face was.

However, having experienced a lot now, she naturally would not feel shy. After she understood what was going on, she simply lay down on the bed and let Yang Chong do whatever he wanted.

But, where to bite? Yan Lingji's thoughts wandered further away.

"This face is about to turn against you!" While Yan Lingji was in a daze, Yang Chong's laughter was heard. Before Yan Lingji could react, Yang Chong had already seen the look on Yan Lingji's face after she turned against him.

It is white with a hint of pink, which is indeed attractive.

However, before Yang Chong could take any further action, there was a knock on the door.

"Master, someone is coming from the palace." The voice of Yingge was heard outside the room.

"You've come at the perfect time." Yang Chong sat up and instantly held Yan Lingji, who had become limp as a ball, in his arms. With such a fairy around, Yang Chong was reluctant to leave at this moment.

After this moment of rest, Yan Lingji also breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the helpless Yang Chong, she couldn't help but feel amused and even gloated, "I can't eat it anymore."

"Who said that?" Yang Chong was not convinced and bit Yan Lingji.

Seeing this, Yan Lingji turned her head to the side, leaving Yang Chong empty-handed, and said with a smile, "You can't bite it, you can't bite it."

What’s even more hateful is that he kept shaking his head while speaking, not giving Yang Chong any chance.

But Yan Lingji forgot that she was now completely under Yang Chong's control. She won in this regard, but what about in another one?

"Go quickly, things over there are more important. I don't want Zi Nu to say that I am a femme fatale in the future." Yan Lingji, whose weakness was caught, could only change the subject. When Yang Chong's martial arts was not as good as hers, he could bully her. When Yang Chong's martial arts was better than hers, she would be bullied even more. It was the same now, but this time Yan Lingji was not without means of counterattack.

"Why do I feel weird when you say this?" Yang Chong had no choice but to let Yan Lingji go. Now was not the time to indulge himself. The matters in the palace were related to his future plans and could not afford any mistakes.

"You look down on me again. Don't I know anything at all?" Yan Lingji jumped off the bed and took clothes for Yang Chong from the clothes rack beside her.

"You don't need to understand those things. Yan Lingji is just Yan Lingji." Yang Chong put on his clothes with the help of Yan Lingji.

"Go and lie to the little girl with these words." Yan Lingji tied Yang Chong's belt, took out a handful of things, and then pushed Yang Chong away. It would be more comfortable for her to sleep alone, so she let Yang Chong fight on his own!

"I'll teach you a lesson when I come back." Yang Chong was really helpless at this time and could only let Yan Lingji be proud for the time being.

When Yang Chong arrived at the front hall, he saw Zhao Cong who was already waiting there.

"Sir Yang, please follow me to the palace quickly. The king has passed away, and the queen needs you." Zhao Cong came forward and said anxiously.

Although he didn't know how Yang Chong established a relationship with Queen Zhao and gained her trust, he knew that as long as Crown Prince Zhao Qian could ascend the throne safely, Queen Zhao would become Queen Mother Zhao and the most powerful woman in the State of Zhao.

Since Yang Chong was so trusted by Queen Zhao, his status in Zhao State would not be low in the future. More importantly, Yang Chong was very capable. It was inevitable that a capable person with connections would do well. How could Zhao Cong, who was keen on making friends, miss out on such a connection?
What's more, the two of them already have a friendship and can cooperate further in the future.

"General Zhao, don't worry. This place is not far from the palace. We will be there soon." Yang Chong said.

Yang Chong's mansion, as Lian Po's former residence, was indeed not far from the royal palace, so the two men left the mansion and headed straight for the palace. When they arrived at the palace, their mounts were only covered in a thin layer of sweat.

In the central hall of the Zhao Palace, important officials of the Zhao State have arrived here one after another. They may not be able to play much of a role here, but they must not leave the Zhao Palace. They may not be able to play any role here, but outside the palace, they can do a lot of things.

The reason these people were summoned here at this time was not to let them play any role, but to prevent them from doing anything bad.

When Yang Chong arrived at the hall, Queen Zhao and Crown Prince Zhao Qian were discussing matters with several ministers, laying out various tasks. Of course, Guo Kai was speaking more. Although Queen Zhao also had several confidants, there were only a few of them in the court. She didn't know which one she could trust and which one she couldn't. Queen Zhao still needed Guo Kai's help.

However, after seeing Yang Chong, Queen Zhao no longer needed Guo Kai to remind her. She knew better than anyone whether Yang Chong was reliable or not.

After all, the two had just done something earth-shattering not long ago, something that only the two of them knew about, and would become the biggest secret between them in the future. This experience of doing bad things together made Queen Zhao have absolute trust in Yang Chong at this time.

"Mr. Yang, you will be appointed as the Palace Gate Sima and be promoted to Shang Qing. The defense of the royal palace will be handed over to you." Before Yang Chong could speak, Queen Zhao spoke directly.

"Yes." Yang Chong didn't say much. For the benefits that Queen Zhao had promised him before, he would just stand guard for her for a few days.

Guo Kai looked at Yang Chong in surprise. When did Yang Chong become so trusted by Queen Zhao?

Although Yang Chong had proven his abilities in the recent war and was fully capable of serving as Palace Gate Sima, this position was more sensitive than ever before.

After some trouble, Queen Zhao found a free time and appeared in front of Yang Chong.

"Is there anything wrong with what I am doing now?" The lights in the hall illuminated Queen Zhao's face, which looked quite eerie and terrifying.

"There is nothing wrong. As long as these people in the hall acknowledge the prince's throne and respect you as the queen mother, everything will be fine. Even if someone has unnecessary thoughts and does something, they are nothing more than traitors." Yang Chong said.

In fact, Queen Zhao does not need to worry too much now. It is a natural thing for Crown Prince Zhao Qian to ascend the throne. On the contrary, if others want to do something, it would be extremely troublesome.

"We must first control the city of Handan, and then control the entire State of Zhao." said the Queen of Zhao. At this time, she calmed down and knew what she should do.

"You don't have to turn everyone into your own people. They just need to be loyal to the throne of King Zhao." Yang Chong said.

In the minds of people like Queen Zhao, they can only feel safe if everyone is loyal to them. For this so-called sense of security, she can do anything, even killing loyal ministers and generals.

Li Mu’s future tragedy is largely due to her thoughts.

"Is there any difference?" Queen Zhao asked in confusion. She obviously did not understand the reminder Yang Chong gave her.

"In this court, some people do it for their own selfish interests, some for their so-called ambitions and ideals, and some for the State of Zhao. These people have different pursuits, and their attitudes towards the Queen Mother are also different," said Yang Chong.

"You mean to say that those who are loyal to me are mostly doing it for the so-called interests?" Queen Zhao grasped something sharply.

“Not necessarily, but you have to understand that there is no loyalty without reason,” Yang Chong explained.

"Like us? There is no loyalty, only cooperation, cooperation for the sake of profit." Queen Zhao understood and there was a hint of smile in her eyes when she looked at Yang Chong.

She came from a humble background and did not understand the so-called strategies of governing a country, but she understood human nature. Just like now, she could tell that Yang Chong was reminding her, a kind reminder, or even a teaching.

No one had ever told her these things, not even King Yan of Zhao.

If Yang Chong knew what Queen Zhao was thinking at this moment, he would definitely stay away from her. He did not want to mess with this woman. A woman who could kill her own husband had the potential to be a black widow.

"It's for profit. The Queen doesn't suffer any loss in this transaction." Yang Chong replied coldly.

"I know." Queen Zhao rolled her eyes at Yang Chong, expressing her dissatisfaction with his lack of understanding of romance. Of course, there was nothing else to say.

Soon her son will ascend the throne and become the King of Zhao, and she, the Queen of Zhao, will become the Queen Mother of Zhao and a woman who wields power in the State of Zhao. How could she possibly try to please a man?

In the past, she tried her best to please men in order to get what she wanted. Now that she is finally getting what she wants, if she still tries to please men, then all her struggles over the years would have been in vain.

Everything she has done over the years was to ensure that she no longer has to smile at any man.

"Is your ideal to retake Qi?" Recalling her past, Queen Zhao started another topic.

She was not as calm as she looked after doing what she had done. After all, King Yan of Zhao was still her husband, the man who changed her destiny and gave her everything. So she needed to find someone to talk to in order to relieve the pressure in her heart.

But how could she let others know about these things, so she could only talk to Yang Chong.

"I have many ideals, and Qi is just one of them," said Yang Chong.

"You men are all so greedy. I am much simpler. I only have one ideal," said Queen Zhao.

"What is it?" Yang Chong, who didn't know why the queen who was about to be promoted wanted to stick to him, could only go along with what she said.

"I want to break away from my background and no longer smile at any man. I want those men to smile at me." Queen Zhao said confidently and boldly, which made Yang Chong look at her sideways for a moment.

This is a woman who dares to defy fate.

Sure enough, in this world, everyone is his or her own protagonist. Everyone has his or her own story and his or her own ups and downs, and the same is true for Queen Zhao.

A girl who was born in a prostitute family could escape the fate of prostitutes and become the woman of a country's throne, and soon become the queen mother. In this era, how many women can do this?
Compared to the women in the Han Palace who were scheming against King Han An, Queen Zhao was undoubtedly much more powerful.

South Korea? Maybe that place is abnormal, including its people, and Zhao is what a country should be like.

"Then congratulations, Queen. You will soon realize your dream." Yang Chong looked at the woman next to him. Although she was a little bad, she was a very normal woman. She was not noble, and even despicable, but she was truly bad.

"Then I also wish you to realize your dream as soon as possible." Queen Zhao smiled. It turned out that doing bad things together could quickly bring people closer together.

"Thank you for your good words, Your Majesty." Yang Chong replied.

It all started from this palace.
