It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter
Chapter 397: The Trap of Thorns
She stared at him: "If you submit to me, you should order yourself to keep silent."
He didn't expect her to answer him like this.
Then, a smile appeared on her face. It was not a big smile, but it was actually gentle.
Such an expression made him stunned, and he couldn't help but soften a little. However, in an instant - the comfortable feeling that made him disappear. Before, before she left Chu State, she would never smile like this, so he suddenly felt a surge of anger for no reason.
She squatted down and leaned forward.
A glimmer of light flashed in front of him, and in an instant, a drop of wax tears suddenly rolled onto the skin of his neck.
Even though he had no sense of pain, this drop of wax was extremely hot!
The candle in front of him was half melted inside the lamp, the wick was broken, and the rest was burning very red and collapsed to one side.
Xu Zhi didn't know why he didn't hide.
He leaned one hand on the table and covered his neck with the other, as if he was being tortured and really thought of himself as a prisoner.
Seeing his expression, she didn't know whether to be angry or continue to frown.
He felt the burning pain on his neck, paused, thought of something, and suddenly laughed in a deep voice, "If I were a princess, I would just chop off such a disobedient minister."
Xu Zhi's brain sank. Back in Handan, back in the Liquan Palace in Chu State, he had mastered this trick to perfection.
She quickly picked up the loose rope and said sarcastically, "Sir, don't underestimate yourself. Even if you are restrained, you can still untie it."
Li Xian lowered his head and saw her hand quickly move away from his arm. "If it weren't for the princess's soft heart, I might have died in Shu."
Her brows furrowed, but she also benefited from having read a pile of bamboo slips written by Lu Buwei himself before - there were few records of Lu Buwei himself, but many things related to Bai Qi, including the fact that Sima Cheng's grandfather died with Bai Qi in Duyou, and there were many remarks on the slips expressing Lu Buwei's sympathy for Bai Qi.
Li Si would not stand idly by when it came to Lu Buwei's death. Xu Zhi was almost certain that he had officially come into Ying Zheng's sight because of this incident.
But Xu Zhi didn't know that Sima Cheng and Li Si were from the same school.
Hearing Li Xian say this, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. Times have changed and Sima Cheng can't be trusted after all.
She met his gaze directly, "Are you and Li Si thinking about offsetting your merits and demerits?"
"No," he said.
The silence lasted only a second, and soon, even more harsh words came out of his mouth. "The princess should have killed me from the beginning, so as to eliminate the trouble forever."
He stood up, grasped her wrist, and put the leather rope around his neck.
"It's not too late now."
He pulled hard, and Xu Zhi was pulled by the force and fell in front of him.
She subconsciously let go, but he held her tightly.
Li Xian seems like a madman.
No, he is a madman!
Xu Zhi could understand a person who came from the end of death, but she could not understand harm.
He could be provoked to commit suicide by Fan Zeng, and he could also kill others indiscriminately.
According to Chen Ping, the biggest obstacle he faced in his efforts to win over the Chu nobles in Shouchun was the Chu nobles who had died at the hands of assassins in the secret chamber.
He grabbed her wrist and asked her to pull the rope tighter and tighter.
The cold light stared at him like an eagle.
It's not that she hasn't killed people before. She is no longer afraid of killing.
Even after she learned that the plot had already begun, she had the thought of taking action against Li Xian.
But she couldn't be charged with murder at this time.
She pushed him, but failed.
"Are you crazy?!"
"I'm wide awake."
She picked up the cold tea and splashed it on his face, "You must be crazy to want others to kill you!"
The water stains slid down his high nose, and he laughed brilliantly. "It wasn't someone else who killed me. It was you." He looked at her, his eyes dark with desire. He admitted that he found that when the rope was tightened, she was retreating, and she wanted to push him away. That was to say - she didn't have the idea of getting rid of him because of the Zhang family.
Li Xian was shaken for a moment.
Maybe he should let her go and stop begging her to love him.
Then he can be a normal person.
But the obsession of the two lives had already been set, and he had no way of stopping, nor could he stop attacking others.
"You said before that we would see hope." "But now, I am on the edge of the cliff."
His voice was very faint, and the second half of the sentence was meant for himself.
Xu Zhi didn't hear the rest of the words. She finally broke free from him during this sentence and knocked over the pottery that had just contained the tea with a bang.
Ying Teng downstairs probably heard the noise and started to make noise again. The second floor was spacious, but the staircase was long and narrow. Although it would take some time for Ying Teng to come up, it would also take time to find her room.
Xu Zhi didn't want to continue arguing with Li Xian about the pros and cons.
She stood up, picked up the fallen rope and threw it under the table.
His face was red with a hint of blue, obviously the aftereffect of sudden suffocation.
It wasn't that bad though, he was always gasping for air.
Xu Zhi saw him leaning on the table, half dead.
She told herself that this must be the last time she would reason with him. "You are mentally ill now. There is no need for us to talk anymore. Anyway, you have returned to Xianyang and are about to destroy Qi. We still have things to talk about Xunzi and Li Si." She opened the window and glanced down. "Now, please go back and take a rest and calm down. Ying Teng will ask me about the banned books later, so you'd better leave now. If you are demoted again for the crime of insubordination, the next time you leave the capital, it may be Lingnan."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, she stood up silently, thinking that he was going to leave.
The art of persuasive language may be useful for a more restrained person like Zhang Liang.
Li Xian did not react.
He moved towards her, took a big step forward, closed the window, and the wind and light entered the room.
There was no moonlight, the lights shone directly on his face, the orange flames leaped, making him look like he was quenched in hellfire, as charming as a ghost. She was slightly stunned, and the past events in Zhang Ping's mansion many years ago were brought up.
Her whole body sank. How much chance do you have of expecting someone who has been in the dark for years and swallowed by darkness to turn for the better?
Thinking of this, a low voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"You were wrong in your treatment of your enemies. You were not ruthless or vicious enough." "Since you suspected me, you put the evidence in front of me. This was your biggest mistake!"
He was probably a person who did things according to his own wishes. Everything he did was based on his mood. So when he spoke such words, there was no tremor at all.
Everything around Xu Zhi was like a huge net, with countless hands pushing her and telling her that everything should be put back in place.
Mo Qi kept silent about the six failures, as if they were always fighting a desperate battle.
But even if she is a trapped beast, she will fight. She cannot escape, cannot escape, and is unwilling to escape. She fights to the death.
She was afraid that Li Xian wanted too much, but also afraid that he wanted too little.
Only the remaining warmth behind him reminded her that he was not a ghost but a living person.
She didn't push away the hand that was supporting her side, but turned around, leaned against the windowsill behind her, and looked up at him. "Then please tell me, if I can't kill someone, what should I do so that it won't be a mistake?"
It was obvious that Li Xian was more interested in the soft approach of action. He thought for a moment before speaking.
"You want them alive?"
Her thick eyelashes cast a shadow.
Hearing this, he seemed surprised, "Are you asking me?"
Koreans are like a hollyhock leaf, inconspicuous, but when the hairs fly there, it makes people feel extremely itchy.
Li Xian is fully capable of making them die without a burial place, and he is fully capable of dying together with them.
If she is required to perform to this extent when reaching the end, she will do it without hesitation.
In the past, she used Ying Hehua's identity to disguise Xu Zhi's soul, but now, she is disguising her past self.
If we can't let him talk, at least we can know more about their thoughts.
She closed in a little, advancing in order to retreat.
"Li Xian."
"Do you need me to beg you?"
Now, it was finally his turn to be slightly stunned.
After a long moment, he lowered his head and looked at her straight in the eye.
"Do you know why my father is so upset with Zhang Liang?" He answered himself, "Zhang Liang was the Imperial Censor. Princess, do you know who else had sat in that position when the previous king was alive?"
“…” “Wang Wan?”
Li Xian smiled, she was indeed very smart.
Wang Wan is now the prime minister, but he intends to retire.
How could Li Si have such great ability on his own? This shows that Li Si had the tacit approval of Ying Zheng to do this.
Xu Zhi felt suffocated and frowned. Han Fei's words rang out again - your love will kill him, including the entire Zhang family.
Zhang Liang was originally in the Doctor's Office and would not go to the Censorate. This was something she had done her best to promote. Even though there were thousands of clues, she felt like she was struck by lightning when she heard this sentence.
Li Xian got what he wanted and saw her panic.
People like her are as hot as the sun. Li Xian is sure that she has never experienced troubled times, never experienced displacement, and never felt contradictions and chaos.
Her weakness is not a person, but herself.
