It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

The snow in Zhilan Palace has completely melted, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom, lowering their branches. Clusters of precious pinks, red, green and white, bloom one after another.

There are several pieces of white gray and dark dark silk cloth piled on the fish pattern plate with a black lacquer background.

Although Xu Zhi held a needle and thread in her hands, her mind was wandering. She thought over and over again about the changes that would happen to Wei in the next three months.

When Azhi entered the palace, he saw the princess sitting there again, with a red thread tied in the needle hole. She may have seen her sister do this, and wanted to imitate it, pouring her tender thoughts into her.

But the princess is not very good at embroidery. Plum blossoms are still too difficult for her. After ten days and a half, she has not learned how to change the thread and embroidery stamens.

Today, it was still wrong to insert the needle several times, she couldn't help but remind her.

Xu Zhi stared at the square of silk spread out in the palm of her hand. On it was a red koi that had been mostly embroidered. The colors ranged from white to orange to vermilion. This was the highest level she could work hard to achieve.

This last stitch, no matter how she tightened it, would leave a small pimple on the back.

And she hasn't moved her position for an hour.

Azhi advised her to take a rest, "Princess, Mr. Zhang Liang and Young Master Jiu still have a few days to set off, so you can take your time and embroider."

A Zhi did not expect that Ying Hehua was not asking about this matter.

"Have you asked Huai Qing's people to ask clearly? Who are Zhang Liang's old friends in Wei?"

A Zhi was a little confused as to why the princess always showed great tolerance to Zhang Liang. She did not hesitate to express her affection for Zhang Liang in front of her, but she was always on guard.

At this moment, she could delicately embroider the ribbon for him, and yet she could say such suspicious and alienating words.

"Princess. Mistress's business friend in Wei mentioned a person. But according to the news, that person's whereabouts are uncertain, so it is not very accurate."

Xu Zhi breathed out the breath she was holding back in her heart after hearing this person's name. She felt a sense of urgency to stop the situation.

"What's his name?"

"It is said that he was a frequent visitor to Prince Wuji of the Kingdom of Wei. Zhang Er."

Xu Zhi was startled when he heard this. Maybe he had received too much stimulation, so he didn't have such a big stress reaction, so he just put down the needle silently.

"I understand." She ordered, "Please tell sir to meet with me before leaving Qin."

"promise."

Zhang Er, Liu Bang once followed him as a knight in all directions. Xu Zhi must not let them meet together.

"This person is dangerous. I want to know if he has been in Wei recently. Azhi, make sure Huaiqing finds out."

"In this case, Mr. Zhang Liang's mission is dangerous. Does the princess intend to let him go?"

"My father called him to go, I can't shirk it." Xu Zhi looked out the low window, plum blossoms entered the house, and they were as red as red, which was really cute. She had no time to appreciate it, "I don't know why my father wanted me to go to Wei."

Azhi comforted him and said: "Sir is very resourceful and will definitely return to Qin safely. Princess, don't worry. When he comes back, he will definitely be as good as you."

"Even hairpin."

"Yes, princess, Xiaoxue, you will be a hairpin girl this year."

Xu Zhi's heart suddenly sank.

Why is Xu Zhi so worried about gains and losses? In fact, it's just because of the word "love".

A-Zhi smiled, looking at her as if she was looking at her past self, "Princess, I can see that sir really likes the princess."

"Really?"

"Princess, instead of guessing his heart and worrying about the world, it is better to be sure that your feelings are in your heart."

Xu Zhi lowered her eyelashes and her eyes fell on the koi. She could not deceive anyone but her own heart.

She couldn't let go.

Xu Zhi picked up the unfinished sachet and asked A-Zhi, "I can't close the tail like this. What should I do?"

Azhi took it and said, "And we need to hide the needle."

Xu Zhi nodded thoughtfully.

Sure enough, when the needle was pushed inward and the stitches were hidden, the small knot disappeared.

Suddenly, there was a sound, and the plum branches were pressed a little, trembled, and many plum blossom petals fell, like rain in a sea of ​​flowers.

"Princess. Letter from Inspector Li."

She stood up, looked at the clear blue sky outside the palace, and untied the note tied to the pigeon's leg.

What Li Xian was anxious to ask was the whole story about Wei Jiu.

It seems that he still doesn't know that the Chu State asked her to marry him. It seems that the people of Lord Changping whom he saw on the road to Nanzheng County have not told him yet.

Xu Zhi still doesn't know why the people of Chu came forward to ask her to marry him. Judging from the tone outside the palace that day, they didn't hesitate to anger Ying Zheng.

"Has Lord Changping sent anyone to the palace recently?"

"Princess, I haven't heard of it."

"You can stay calm like this. Don't take it lightly. If he doesn't want me to go to Chu, he must have a backup plan." Xu Zhi paused for a moment, "Maybe Lord Changping will be our friend, not our enemy."

"Why? After the king learned the whole story about the princess, he removed Lord Changping from his position as prime minister in Zhangtai Palace on the second day, and only retained his title. Lord Changping must have hated the princess."

Xu Zhi smiled.

"Now that he does not have the position of Prime Minister, he must be very anxious. These days, he has not taken action against me again, which shows that he either has a plan or other reasons. It is impossible for my father to announce Wei Jiu's affairs in the court. Otherwise, it would be a shame to the Qin Dynasty that Wei Jiu could return to Wei alive. And if Lord Changping was really stable, he would not have released the news and asked Li Xian to ask me urgently, what is going on with Wei Jiu?"

A Zhi was a little uneasy and said, "Supervisor Li."

Xu Zhi walked to the plum garden and said, "I promised him that if things go well in Yingchuan County, I would let him return to Xianyang and serve as an official."

"Is the princess worried that Inspector Li will be with Mr. Changping?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "If he is willing to come back or wants more power, he can only come with me."

"Princess, what do you think?" Azhi did not shy away from talking to the princess about these things. "You should know that he is even more violent than Zhang Liang. It is not possible for the princess to resolve it in words. The princess plots with him, especially when it comes to love. Literally, you could be at a disadvantage.”

Xu Zhi folded a crimson plum blossom in front of her and sniffed it. The unique fragrance of plum blossom lingered on the tip of her nose.

"Some things are more important than love, and he can't afford to gamble."

Xu Zhi didn't know that she couldn't afford the gamble either.

Ah Zhi saw that her expression was resolute and sharp, as if the melancholy she had felt when she mentioned Zhang Liang had completely disappeared.

"Princess, do you need me and Supervisor Li to explain Wei Jiu's matter?"

"If he asked me in person, he would pretend not to understand."

Xu Zhi was silent, "Before Wei Jiu left, I really needed to see Wei Jiu again. Do you still remember that when we went to look for Huaiqing, we met him on Zhongnan Mountain. Maybe Mo Qi must be with him It’s related.”

"The character Mo Qi, the mistress, once told me that she is very mysterious. He has lived in seclusion for many years and has never been seen in the world. Zhongnan Mountain is deep and wide, so it is not easy to find him."

Xu Zhi said: "You tell Li Xian that if he wants to know the cause of Wei Jiu's incident, he should find a way to come to Xianyang and ask. I don't want anyone to waste words, or I don't want to waste my energy to go to Nanzheng County again."

At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the weather is sunny.
