It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Xu Zhi stepped into Zhilan Palace.

Green trees lined up on both sides, and the bronze palace lanterns in the middle were filled with candlelight. She walked to Zheng Li's palace door with her heart in her heart, exhaled, and said in a dignified and innocent tone: "Mother, concubine, He Hua has returned to the palace, I wonder if you have rested."

Qiu Xi held up the lamp, leaned over slightly and said, "Little princess, Madam is in the front hall."

Xu Zhi did not expect that Zheng Li was not the only person in the palace.

And Fusu.

Fusu's face didn't look good.

When Meng Tian went to Yongcheng, he must have told him everything.Xu Zhi was worried that Fusu knew that he was too involved in Li Si's affairs, so he expressed his concern.

When Qiu Xi followed the instructions, Xu Zhi discovered that besides Fusu, there was another person sitting on the side table in the main hall.

His hair is black with gray, he is wearing deep clothes and a mysterious crown on his head.

His figure was hidden in a yellow light, with patterns of mountains and rivers floating on his robes. In this atmosphere, he looked quite mysterious.

When he saw Xu Zhi come in, a smile that he didn't know was real or fake appeared on his face. He put down the bamboo slips in his hand and waved to Xu Zhi before Zheng Li could speak, asking her to come next to him.

This person didn't say a word during the whole process, but his actions undoubtedly did not reveal a "must".

Xu Zhi looked at Zheng Li blankly like a child, and then remained motionless.

Of course she knew who this official, who was about fifty years old, was.

In the pre-Qin Dynasty, Zhilan Palace was independent of other palaces. The main hall was once the place where small meetings were held during the reign of King Zhao of Qin. After the Zhangtai Palace was completely repaired, everything large and small was included.Therefore, Zhilan Palace is not a palace in the traditional sense of a king's harem, but due to Zheng Li's special status as a princess of the Three Kingdoms, she has the origins of Han, Zhao and Chu, and she came with the responsibility of showing the sincerity of the Chu Kingdom. Therefore, she Living in Zhilan Palace is not surprising.

The people who could come to this place without hesitation at night, apart from Fusu, were undoubtedly the closest relatives besides the royal family members.

Mi Qi, Lord of Changping, was the son of King Kaolie of Chu, the nominal uncle of Ying Zheng, and the nominal uncle of Zheng Li.

Although he is not as powerful as Cai Ze, who died recently, his status is quite respected.

Ying Zheng had just returned to Yongcheng, and Mi Qi hurriedly came to Zhilan Palace. What was his intention?

Seeing Ying Hehua's slightly dull look, Mi Qi put down his hand indifferently.

Xu Zhi was brought to Zheng Li by Qiu Xi. Zheng Li leaned over and touched her face, then rubbed her daughter's little hands and gently breathed hot air to warm her hands.

"minister……"

"Mr. Changping." Before Mi Qi could say a word, Fusu interrupted him, "If you have anything to do with Mr. Changping, please tell me. My younger sister has just returned to the palace from Tingwei's residence. My father is going to I can’t bear for my little sister to witness the death of Tingwei, so why should Lord Changping be anxious?”

This was the first time Xu Zhi heard Fusu speak in such a slightly oppressive tone.

I also saw that Fusu was not wearing the fresh color he usually wore today, but was wearing dark black.In the palace, which was slightly darker than the daytime, his facial features were already very similar to Ying Zheng's, and in this black color, they were even more similar.

"The eldest son." Mi Qi cupped his hands, "I don't want to ask the princess anything, but I also went to Li Tingwei's house to express my condolences today and did not see the princess. I just wanted to come here to care about you. I am the elder of the princess. I am the elder of the princess. Fang Zai knew from what his wife said that the princess had been in danger with Li Tingwei in Zhangtai Palace when she was alone in Xianyang. I can’t blame you for it, but I hope you won’t blame me for coming to express my condolences belatedly.”

Mi Qi deserves to be the Prime Minister, and he deserves to be a Chu State person who still sits on the Prime Minister's position without real power.

There were no ups and downs in his tone and words, and his words were quite strict and soft yet prickly.He was still thinking about Ying Hehua, but not a single word of his really cared about her.

His meaning was very clear - he wanted to know why Xu Zhi went to Tingwei's mansion secretly?What is the connection between the turmoil in Zhangtai Palace and Li Si's death?

Xu Zhi has no other abilities, but she still understands the art of words.

"I was comforting brothers Li Xian and Li You at that time. Of course, Prime Minister, you didn't see me. Because Ting Wei's hometown is Chu State, so before the burial, some Wu Xian from Chu State must be found to guide the spirit," Xu Zhi After a pause, "I remember my father said that the mother-in-law is the princess of Chu. Does the mother-in-law know this?"

This is a custom that only people who have lived in Chu since childhood know. Zheng Li looked at Xu Zhi's bright eyes gently and shook his head.

Mi Qi was a little stunned when Ying Hehua said the word "Xiangguo".

Since Lu Buwei's death, in Qin State, the position of Prime Minister has become empty, and no one really cares that this empty title falls on Mi Qi's head.

Therefore, most people in Qin are accustomed to calling him Lord Changping.

After all, the prime minister is still a symbol of the conduct of the ministers of a country.

"This custom does exist in the Chu region." Mi Qidao.

Xu Zhi raised her face and looked at Mi Qi, just waiting for his words. She said with an innocent face: "Xiangguo is also from Chu. I heard that some witches have the ability to bring people back to life. Can Xiangguo ask them to come and save them?" Tingwei?"

"Why does the little princess want to save Li Si?"

"Because Li Si is also from Chu."

Mi Qi was amused by such childish words, and the two mustaches on his lips trembled slightly.

Fusu couldn't help but ask: "Li Xian returned to Xianyang?"

"Well." Xu Zhi walked to Fusu's side with sad eyes, "I don't know how to talk to him. Did Brother Wang hear that he is not in Shu before?"

Xu Zhi asked the question very carefully.

"That's not true. It's just that when I was in Yongcheng, someone once told me that Li Xian was his best friend in Shu."

"Who is this person?"

Xu Zhi prayed that she would not hear that name, but that was exactly what happened.

Jing Ke.

Xu Zhi's mind buzzed, and she became more and more worried about the chaos and fear caused by many events.

At this moment, in front of Mi Qi and Zheng Li, the affairs of Chu State had not yet been cleared up, so she quickly stopped the topic of analysis.

Xu Zhi smiled slightly, "Jing Ke. That's a nice name."

Taking advantage of Fusu's silence, Xu Zhi looked at him, trying to change the subject of conversation.

Mi Qi stared at Zheng Li knowingly, then said, "The little princess has just returned to the palace, so I won't bother you anymore."

Xu Zhi had no intention of giving up this opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with Mr. Changping.

She said something carelessly.

This is a fact that everyone present except Fusu knows.

"It is clear that people like my mother-in-law and the Prime Minister who care about me are from the Chu country. I have a good impression of the Chu country. But Brother Wang, do you know? The Xiang Juan who tried to kill me in Zhilan Palace the night before was also from the Chu country. people."

Xu Zhi did not see the exchange between Zheng Li and Mi Qi's eyes.

Zheng Li tightened her grip on her skirt. She was not threatened by Mi's use of her two children at all times. He Hua's experience made her feel even more cold than ever before.

Mi Qi clearly promised her that he would never commit murder!

Fusu was shocked. His focus was obviously on the first half of the last sentence.

——The person who killed me.

Fusu frowned, "How could something like this happen again?" He lowered his head and looked at his little sister's overflowing smile. He felt a deep sadness when he looked at her innocent expression of not caring. .
