Candlelight is like a star.

As soon as Li Xian returned home, he saw his father leaning on his sick body and writing at the desk.He coughed and didn't stop writing.Because I wrote so much, it has piled up into a hill.From time to time, little officials with flags came running in, took away a roll, and sealed it for storage.The two clerks accidentally bumped into each other when they entered the door, knocking over a stack of bamboo slips.

Li Xian quickly stepped into the study and picked up what had fallen to the floor.

After concealing his conversation with Xu Zhi, he described to his father the scene of meeting Han Fei in the palace.

Only then did Li Si stop writing. He hesitantly took out a silk book from his arms, held it tightly, and frowned.

"The people behind Zheng Guo are not idle people. Take this thing and quickly go to the military camp to choose a fast horse and go to Hangu Pass to inform Mr. Fusu that you will present it to the king tonight and return to Xianyang at a later date."

Li Xian ran towards the frontier in the night, without having time to take a look at the bright moon above his head, with its stars shining brightly.

Zhilan Palace is always quiet after nightfall.The curtains fluttered gently with the breeze entering the curtains, and a beautiful woman leaning on the bed could be vaguely seen.She held her hair in a bun, and her watery autumn eyes slowly stared at the little person with round eyes in the brocade quilt.She gently tucked her daughter into bed and hummed Zheng Di's ballad softly.

The song is as clear as spring water, and like the brilliance of the moon, like a ribbon, covered with gauze in the quiet and peaceful darkness, misty and hazy.

Zheng Li gently patted her daughter's back and coaxed her to sleep.After a while, the daughter finally closed her eyes peacefully, breathed slowly, and fell into a sweet dream.She seemed to finally relax and let out a long breath.

"Hehua, I hope you will be this happy in the future."

Zheng Li's eyes were filled with tears.She pressed a kiss to her forehead, and her breathing suddenly became heavier.

Xu Zhi was actually awake.There are many stories and a touch of sadness in Zheng Li's singing.There are always endless things to say in her eyes.

Ying Hehua's description and what he had done in the Qin Palace in the past few months were obvious to all.She knew that Zheng Li didn't like this daughter, and she had never treated her so affectionately.

After the farce of Han Fei committing suicide on a rainy night, her attitude towards herself and Ying Zheng suddenly changed.Ying Zheng, who is on the high platform, always buries his emotions deeply.If they weren't connected by blood, she even felt that an emperor like him would never really take anyone to heart.

Ying Zheng calmly accepted Zheng Li's overtures without asking her why.

Xu Zhi was not very clear about the details. She forgot to ask Li Xian for confirmation. In the life he had experienced, was there a death in the Qin palace during the time when Zheng Guo came to Qin?

Ying Hehua only said that Concubine Zheng and she left one after another this year.

Could it be that this is not a coincidence of his death from illness? !

She was suddenly afraid.Xu Zhi held the jade plate and wanted to ask Ying Hehua clearly what was going on?

But for a long time, there was no result. No matter what, she couldn't escape into the void.

A thin pigeon fluttered and fell into the window of Zhilan Palace.

The pigeon was dying and tossed twice before making no sound.

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Li's skin felt cold, and there was a cold light on her neck.

"Princess Mi, don't move." The man said playfully, whispering in her ear: "If you accidentally get injured on your body, King Qin will not let me go."

"Ha." There was no trace of panic in Zheng Li's eyes. She snorted coldly and deliberately leaned forward.

The man quickly distanced himself from the sword.

"You'd better kill me."

The man snorted coldly. "Kill you, how will we carry out our plan?"

The man's long and narrow eyes were bent into an arc, with an evil smile on his face, and he glanced at the curtain, intending to threaten Ying Hehua.

He said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Zheng. You have been acting more and more inconsistently recently."

Her heart tightened, her eyes as soft as water were as hard as ice.

Zheng Li used her body to block his view of the palace.

She had a thin body and looked so frail.He didn't expect that she could bite these two words so intimidatingly.

"You dare?" she said.

The man suddenly put away his dagger and looked directly into her sharp eyes. His eyebrows tightened, but his tone was still casual.

"It's interesting. I didn't expect that the little princess who was the most timid back then has become a new person now. It seems that you have learned nothing from Ying Zheng all these years."

"I didn't expect that you left the young master alone and actually started to work as an assassin."

Zhao Jia felt funny when he heard this.I also thought that this woman was in the deep palace and had no idea about the earth-shaking situation outside, or that she didn't care at all about her situation.

His father was lustful and stupid, and because he doted on his daughter, he deliberately made his good-for-nothing brother Zhao Qian the prince.All his yearnings and ambitions vanished in the blink of an eye.In an instant, he went from being Zhao's most popular heir to being a hot potato.

Young Master.He is now the person Zhao Qian wants to get rid of the most, and he is also the person the traitors want to erase.

Zheng Li watched his strange expression warily and took a step back.

In fact, many times, Zhao Jia felt that he was living like a joke.

like now.

It turned out that she was also afraid of him, just as afraid of him as before.

But what can be done? The person who was the most arrogant and powerful in his youth has fallen to this point. Only he can experience the loss of soul after falling from a high platform.

He took a step towards her, and he clearly felt from the panic in Zheng Li's eyes that there were things that he had ruined with his own hands and would never return.

Zhao Jiachen saw the unique decoration on her sleeve that belonged to Qin.

Through her eyes, he remembered a snowy night many years ago.

On the streets of Handan, there are colorful carriages and parades, and horses are whipped and whipped as they pass by, with their belts flying.He is the most powerful and wealthy young master in the Zhao Kingdom.
