It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

It rained heavily in the city and the road was wet. Xu Zhi said goodbye to Han Fei from the villa, and raindrops dripped from the eaves.

"Princess."

Xu Zhi was a little distracted. "Azhi, there's still time." She looked at the purple eggplant flowers and persimmon stems with handles she brought, and fell into deep thought.

Azhi comforted: "Don't worry, princess, it's okay." She hesitated, "It's just that the princess took this flower and didn't plan to tell Mr. Zhang Liang? Princess... do you really not think about it anymore?"

If she had never thought of this before meeting Han Fei, but now, she can't make a mistake every step of the way.

"I am also responsible for myself. Fortunately, it didn't take long, and there was still medicine to drink. You must not say anything, and no one is allowed to say it."

"Nuo." A Zhi said quietly: "Princess, there is one more thing. The Chu State Commander Yin and Mrs. Rong have a letter to bring."

"Is this letter sent together?"

"Yes."

Xu Zhi thought: "This shows that the Zhao family is united and belongs to the King of Chu."

Han Fei's words made Xu Zhi particularly worried. Hongzhizi, Jingke's teacher, appeared in Xianyang, and now he appears in Han Fei's mouth, which is really strange.

"Let someone go and invite Hongzhizi and invite him to have a talk with his father in the city."

"If Hongzhi's son doesn't come."

Xu Zhi said: "If he doesn't come the first time, it's okay. Let Lu Heng go and invite him. If he doesn't come, tell him that Yan Yue is in my hands and ask him to come and get him."

"promise."

When we got back to Chengfu, it was raining harder. After hearing what the people from the Secret Pavilion had learned about Lord Changping's situation, she felt anxious and vaguely worried.

Rain drifted into the window, the wind blew sideways, and a green bamboo leaf fell on her desk.

The visitor placed the bamboo slips outside the door.

A Zhi turned to collect the money and handed it to Ying Hehua, "Mr. Chen Bo's ten reports all show that there is nothing abnormal in Xianyang. The king has not really made things difficult for Supervisor Li. The princess can also feel at ease."

"it is good."

Xu Zhi opened the door and window a little, and from the angle of the lounge chair where she was resting, she could clearly see the slanting wind and drizzle outside. Many water flows on the eaves were falling, ticking, making a sound like falling beads.

The room was cool and breathable, and the medicinal powder had been grinded. Azhi slowly poured it into a small silver pot with a bamboo utensil and filled it.

Steam slowly rises from the tea cup. Flowers like purple eggplant have a light fragrance and are quiet. However, after being cooked in boiling water, the flowers become unsightly. Coupled with the powder from the persimmon stems, the color of the soup becomes very clear. It's purple and black and looks unpalatable.

Ah Zhi fed her a mouthful, and sure enough, the tip of Xu Zhi's tongue felt astringent, like coptis!

"Hey, I'll bring the persimmons myself," Xu Zhi picked up the persimmons and made a big effort.

The smell came out of her throat, making her feel sick to her stomach.

Azhi quickly brought the hot water and said, "Princess... please forget about it."

Xu Zhi shook his head, "No, flowers are so hard to find, so we can't waste them."

"...Then you can drink the rest slowly later?"

Xu Zhi waved her hand and quickly stuffed two dates into her mouth. "You can't drink it slowly." The sweetness of the dates finally alleviated the bitterness of the purple eggplant flowers. After chewing, she took a long breath and smiled at A Zhi: "You don't know, those who drink Chinese medicine in one mouthful are ruthless people. .”

"traditional Chinese medicine?"

"This is Chinese medicine." Xu Zhi pointed to the pot of medicine, "I have seen a kind of medicine before, it is small. They use konjac powder to make a thin shell and wrap the medicine powder to be taken inside, because there is a thin layer The patient cannot feel the bitter taste of the medicine because of its shell, and it is easy to swallow. You can call this a capsule."

Azhi nodded thoughtfully.

"Princess, it's better to stop drinking."

Xu Zhi listened to A Zhi's constant dissuasion, and the speed of drinking medicine slowed down a lot.

Zhang Liang stood in the rain curtain holding an umbrella. As long as he tilted his head, he could see the girl inside.

Just now, Fusu almost wanted to remove his entire arm.

——"I think you are really crazy, sir!"

——"It's been the past six years, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it. But when is it now? No need for me to remind you, sir!"

——"I will give you three days, sir, and Chu State will only give you three days. You'd better make it clear and don't make He Hua sad. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"I understand." He said firmly.

Fusu took two steps, turned around, and his cold eyes fell on his drooped back, "Sir, you only have three days."

Zhang Liang saw the Fusu that Chen Ping said was what an emperor should be like.

He stayed in the Qin Kingdom for six full years, three years as a prisoner and three years as a minister.

What Zhang Liang saw was the vibrant Qin State as Ying Hehua said, but it also had mechanical and rigid rules and cunning changes.

This should not be blamed on Legalism. Any stage of prosperity also has its darkest corners.

Qin is like a black river, creaking like a steam engine - a machine made entirely of silent reason. Once this machine is successfully built, it will emit high temperatures of hundreds or thousands of degrees Celsius, becoming the driving force for its operation, and will also burn everyone who touches it.

Ten years later, Zhang Liang will understand that the heat is-imperial power and autocracy.

After Ying Hehua drank the medicine, she felt a little sleepy, so A-Zhi put a white blanket embroidered with gardenias on her.

Azhi stepped out of the room and couldn't help but hesitate when he saw Zhang Liang.

"Master Zhang."

Azhi didn't say anything, nodded to him and saluted, looked at Ying Hehua again, and then left.

The woman on the couch is lying in a graceful posture, with three thousand black hairs wrapped around her body, lightly outlining her exquisite body.

When she stopped smiling, her face returned to a static state, unrealistically beautiful, like a person in a painting.

Zhang Liang forgot how long he had been standing outside the screen. The rain covered the hustle and bustle, and there was silence again, as if a lifetime had passed.

Xu Zhi was half asleep and felt restless.

She tossed and turned, and suddenly lost her center of gravity. She suddenly woke up, and now she was going to be thrown badly!

"Be careful."

He grabbed her in time.

She woke up, woke up, and transformed from the static beauty of water hibiscus to the splendor of green waves.

"Zhang Liang." She looked at Feng Shen's handsome sweetheart and smiled.

She likes Zhang Liang's eye color, which is different from hers. Mostly brown, like clear Pu'er tea soup. Probably because she had been very good at poking her nose and face since she was a child. She wrapped her arms around his neck and didn't want to let go. She kept rubbing against him and muttered to him, "...don't let go, or I will fall soon." Already..."

His arms lost their strength and he endured the severe pain to pick her up.

"Princess, do you still want to take a nap?"

"Yeah." Xu Zhi didn't say that she was really sleepy because of the decoction, and she wanted to tease him, "Why are you back now?"

He was still so reserved. Even if she said she wanted a lunch break, he would not go to her bedroom. Instead, he would put her on the soft cushion next to the desk. She used to rest like this in Zhilan Palace to save time for lectures.

When he heard her ask, Zhang Liang thought she wanted to ask something serious, and he didn't want her to know what really happened.

He stroked her hair and said softly: "I just sorted out my three-month affairs in Daliang, so there was some delay."
