It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

The curtains slowly rolled up.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Gao just opened his mouth and wanted to explain where Li Xian was going.

Ying Zheng, wearing his royal robe, waved his hand casually, asking him to go down.

Dunruo stood before the king.

He thought about what Ying Hehua had just said to him, and suddenly believed that Ying Hehua was just worried that Li Si would embarrass her because of Li Xian.

Ying Hehua’s last sentence - do you care more about Daqin, or do you choose to do what your heart desires.

He felt inexplicably anxious for a moment. Where did this anxiety come from?

Dun Ruo is, after all, a man of rich experience. He has served in the most watched country in the world, in the turbulent court.

After calming down, Dun Ruo felt

——His worry about Li Si was like an undercurrent, slowly flowing and accumulating in his chest.

The wind and snow penetrated.

Dun Ruo's eyes were extremely firm.

"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess is fine. However, I,

Dun Ruo bowed and said, "This old minister has something to report."

"There is someone else who has the plan to ban the book," he said.

-

Xu Zhi walked on the unmelted ice and snow and left Fu Qiu Palace.

It wasn't until she saw her carriage that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Who knew that as soon as I sat down, the uninvited guest was already inside.

He seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

In a place like the palace, he just stepped into her carriage so directly, without feeling offended or inappropriate at all.

His sword was placed aside, and he leaned against the carriage with his hands on his knees, looking somewhat lazy.

Xu Zhi paused.

The afterglow chases, and the flying clouds are like rain.

He just leaned there quietly. She called his head, but he didn't respond, as if he didn't hear her. This was different from usual.

He was not wearing court robes, nor was he wearing a robe in the style of the State of Chu. Instead, he was wearing a black casual suit, with dark cloud-like patterns faintly visible between the folds of his clothes.

"you,"

"Li Xian?"

He still didn't move.

He was either asleep or resting with his eyes closed.

He actually closed his eyes and rested in her carriage?

Just based on his actions last night, he had already revealed his hostility.

She should have shouted - there's an assassin.

That’s exactly what Xu Zhi was going to do.

"Come on, people!"

The rest of the words are not finished yet.

He happened to open his eyes and was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect her to come out of Fu Qiu Palace so soon.

His troubles were not solved. When he saw her, his heart subconsciously tightened, and unknown emotions swirled in his eyes.

Xu Zhi turned his head and looked at Li Xian. He didn't want to make eye contact with her. In this second of movement, Xu Zhi discovered the bloodstain under the dark robe.

Did he go to the Xianyang Palace to do something that could not be seen in public, and is being chased?

She suddenly came up with an idea.

Li Xian saw her lift the curtain and got into the car without hesitation, pulled down the window and told someone to drive.

"Go through Zhengyang Gate. I left some things there." she said.

This door leads to the market, and not far away is Huaiqing's teahouse. There was a fire in Linyuan Pavilion yesterday, and it was announced to the public that it was caused by arson, so the place has been put on alert.

The attendant reminded her: "What did you lose, Princess? After the fire, Zhengyang Street is impassable. Please let us know and we will help you find it."

Xu Zhi turned around, looked into Li Xian's dark eyes, and suddenly smiled, "No need, that's something I borrowed from the Tingwei prison, I need to find it myself."

What she was talking about was the cowhide rope that was used to tie up Li Xian.

If Xu Zhi asked this, does it mean that she knew something?

……

Just as he was about to open his mouth to make a random explanation, she immediately raised her hand to cover his mouth.

She looked at his slightly surprised eyes with satisfaction, put one hand on the side of his head, imitated his slow and leisurely tone, lowered her head, and said in a deep voice, "After all, he is my 'ally'. I am not without conscience."

She emphasized the word ally and glanced at the wound on his arm.

In fact, being a servant of Ying Hehua is freer than any other palace in the palace. She is not in Zhilan Palace every other day, and this time when she returns to the palace, she is not thinking about eating, drinking and having fun. Their work is very simple, just do it according to her requirements, and there is no need to ask for anything else.

Wait until the guards at the palace gate sounded as they were about to conduct a routine inspection.

She turned around suddenly and their eyes met. His breathing suddenly tightened and he forgot about the life-and-death experience he had just had with Hu Wantian.

"If you want me to let you out of the Xianyang Palace, I advise you not to make any noise," she said.

Seeing that he was not going to talk, I leaned against the car wall obediently.

Xu Zhi let go of him, and instantly, his heart suddenly ached, but the pain lasted less than a millisecond before disappearing.

She thought it was because she was nervous because of the recent things going on, so she didn't think much about it.

Xu Zhi spoke a few words to the guards guarding the palace gate.

The car drove out of the Xianyang Palace smoothly.

Seeing that she didn't kick him out of the car immediately, Li Xian couldn't help but smile.

He covered the torn wound nonchalantly and clasped his hands.

"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first, Princess?"

Xu Zhi looked at him and said, "The bad news is that you didn't die from the fall, but you did do bad things in the palace."

He smiled, "I'm sorry to disappoint the princess."

Li Xian's hand was bleeding, it must be serious.

"I was stabbed by a guard in Hu Wan's palace, mistaking him for an assassin."

She didn't ask him why he went to Hu Wan Palace, nor did she ask why he was chopped.

Instead, he asked indifferently, "And then?"

He was silent for a moment before turning his head to look at her.

It must be snowing outside. After a long time, there was still white mist above her head.

"Then I fled to the princess's carriage to seek her protection," he said.

Xu Zhi really wanted to learn his way of disguise—no matter what happened or what he did, he would never show his joy on his face.

But unfortunately she is not.

Ying Zheng is not essentially like that either.

When he was the emperor, he could hardly hide his emotions. He would get angry when he saw a curse, and reward anyone who treated him well, no matter if they were trees or people.

Xu Zhi was inevitably influenced by what he saw and heard.

Over the years, apart from pretending in front of Zhang Liang, she seemed too lazy to pay attention to others.

Li Xian is just like his father. As long as he wants, he can always turn a deaf ear to unpleasant words and never show anger on his face.

She became furious when she heard the word "blessing".

"By protecting you, I am hurting myself."

"Then why do you want to save me?"

"I want you to watch a joke."

"what?"

Xu Zhi lowered his eyes and looked down at him, "Li Xian. Do you think it's possible for a person to make a mistake twice?"

He looked at her and finally laughed out loud, his chest shaking with laughter.

He didn't know if he would make the same mistake twice. He only knew that he had fallen in love with the same person repeatedly, far more than twice.

"Are you the one who set fire to Linyuan Pavilion?" Xu Zhi continued, not giving him a chance to speak.

"Yes." He answered simply and crisply.

Xu Zhi paused, but then he thought about Dun Ruo's hesitant look, and recalled Li Si's abnormally calm expression in Fu Qiu Palace.

I didn't expect Li Xian to be so direct.

She sneered, "That's to be expected."

It was rare that he didn't confront her.

"Princess, why don't you ask me what I am doing in Hu Wan Palace?"

Xu Zhi didn't even think about it. "You're going to kill Hu Hai."

She almost sighed, "What on earth is it that makes you so impatient to do it yourself?"

The darkness in his eyes grew darker.

"If I say that I also want to end it all and give the princess a peaceful life?"
