It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

The candlelight was burning, the lights in the inn were bright, and the sound of bamboo slips being flipped came from the compartment.

Sima Ma found that this was the Qin people's work and rest schedule. This was his experience in his early years as an official. Even in his later years, King Zhao of Qin did not reduce the habit of working at night. Later, even when King Zhuangxiang of Qin was in poor health, he often summoned Prime Minister Lu and Mo Qi to discuss at night.

When he worked with Mo Qi, he often heard him complain. Mo Qi was different from other retainers. He lowered his status to be a retainer under Lu Buwei in order to spread his strange ideas. However, he was happy to receive gifts, and this good job of working with the king was given to Li Si.

In fact, Sikong Ma also knew that Li Si couldn't adapt at first. But he couldn't refuse this job... At that time, the chance to ask for leave was very small. If he didn't go, it would be disobeying the king's order.

After Ying Zheng ascended the throne, he followed the style of his ancestors. He summoned his ministers and issued urgent orders, even in the middle of the night.

So over the years, Li Si turned the king's habits into his own.

The moon is already high in the sky, and it is midnight, and everyone is asleep. Ying Hehua is like this.

But Sikong Ma couldn't let them do this. Even if she was very tactful, he couldn't let her disturb Xunzi's little sleep.

He saluted and said, "Your Highness. The teacher has always taught in the morning and has no habit of talking with us at night."

She estimated the time. According to modern time, this was the hour of Hai, which was actually nine o'clock in the evening.

The ancients strictly followed the life habit of "working at sunrise and resting at sunset", and the hour of Hai was considered the best.

Xu Zhi didn't know that she had been indulged by the people around her for a long time.

Sikong Ma was worried that he could not explain it properly, so he continued, "The teacher is old, I hope Your Highness will understand."

Xu Zhi paused, "Sir, do you know when the master will get up?" She suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively, "... Is it Chenshi (seven o'clock)?"

Sikong Ma smiled and shook his head, "Although the teacher is old, he still follows the usual practice."

common practice……

Xu Zhi usually got up at six o'clock, but Zhang Liang scolded him many times for being too late.

Seeing her puzzled, Sikong Ma remembered that when he was in Qi, he heard that Ying Zheng appointed Zhang Liang, the tutor of Ying Hehua, to be Han. Zhang Liang was Han Fei's student, so he said, "Princess, you are young and diligent. It doesn't matter if you come earlier. In recent years, teachers usually write in cursive script at 15:15. Princess doesn't need to follow the usual 15:15."

Four o'clock in the morning was a routine for them, a common practice for Xunzi's disciples.

Only then did Xu Zhi realize that Ah Zhi was not exaggerating when she said that Zhang Liang had been waiting in front of the gate of Zhilan Palace for several hours.

If someone ordered her to arrive at work on time in the morning, but she had to wait three or four hours before she could start work, she would definitely want to kill the other person if this continued.

A journey of wind and snow lasted for six years.

Not to mention the various ways she found to torment Zhang Liang, he didn't lose his temper for quite a long time and never said anything to Ying Zheng. He really had the best temper possible.

The soil after the rain has a fishy smell when the wind blows.

She hated the growing bitterness in her heart.

Many emotions that she ignored were unexpectedly stirred up by this breeze.

"Your Highness?"

Xu Zhi took a deep breath and interrupted his own false thoughts.

Even though she tasted the bitterness that Zhao Jia described, she would not regret it.

A well-considered decision, she accepts any outcome.

She knew that Xunzi had been to Qin before and had been treated coldly by Yingji. This time, she was determined to pave the way for him to enter Qin.

"Don't worry, Mr. Sikong. Before we arrive safely in Xianyang, your master will not know my identity. I hope this will not cause you to have a psychological burden towards the Qin royal family."

Sikong Ma was slightly stunned. Was Ying Hehua dressed like this just for this so-called simple reason?

That night, Chen Ping told her that Wang Wan wanted to see her after she sent Xunzi back to Xianyang.

Then he took Xu Zhi and Li Xian's words and chose to return to Xianyang at night.

Nowadays, Xu Zhi feels uneasy whenever the shadow of the tree moves.

"Your Highness, nothing is wrong."

This was the tenth time she had opened the window that evening.

Every time she pushed, Lu Heng appeared.

"If Your Highness is really worried, I can monitor Lord Li from the beam."

She herself also felt a headache, "No, Xunzi is more important, you go back to your original position."

This conversation has gone back and forth three times.

Li Xian's room was not far from her.

Lu Heng has always been silent. He just does what Ying Hehua tells him to do.

Since Fan Zeng's death, he also decided to treat himself as a sharp sword, just like the Julu Sword in Ailao Valley.

His mentor's last wish was probably to see what the future of the Qin State would be like.

Lu Heng prepared to close the window for her as usual and then return to the roof of the inn.

Xu Zhi couldn't resist the growing pain in her heart. She stared at the window coffin and mocked, "Maybe I will push it for the nineteenth time." He heard her sigh, "Am I crazy too?"

Lu Heng bowed his head, "Your Highness is just too worried."

"In Ailao Valley, who is more powerful between you and your junior brother? Can you defeat Li Xian?"

Lu Heng knew what she meant, "Most of Lord Li's martial arts skills came from my junior brother."

Jing Ke. Thinking of the historical event of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Shi Huang, it seemed like a long time ago to her.

She smiled to herself. "They have a good relationship. I can guess that."

She was silent for a moment.

Lu Heng did not intend to hide it from her. "In terms of the exquisiteness of swordsmanship, Junior Brother has mastered the key points of the master, and I am not as good as Junior Brother. In terms of the killing intent of a sword and a move, Junior Brother is not as good as me. I was a secret guard in Lord Li's secret chamber because of this."

No wonder he failed, Jing Ke was not good at assassination at all.

"Then why... did Prince Dan choose him instead of you to go to the palace?"

She asked quickly, and at this time, she was not asking as Ying Hehua, but truly as an archaeologist, a descendant of a mystery.

After so much time had passed, the State of Yan had been destroyed for several years, and the grass on Prince Dan's grave was several feet high, but there were still people who remembered this incident.

For years, he tried to forget.

But now, the person who asked him was Ying Hehua.

Under his silver helmet, he was also momentarily absent-minded. "Because I don't want to."

“Maybe it was just serendipity.”

He was stunned. Her eyes were vast and boundless, like an ocean, or like the endless grassland to the north of Yan State.

"I don't know if the princess believes it or not. Gongzi Dan is not that kind of person, but he holds too deep a grudge. Yan Yue is not the person you saw, but she repeated Gongzi Dan's path." He said this and immediately kept silent, "...I spoke out of turn..."

She laughed.

The mystery was solved quietly, but in just a moment.

Obsession? At this point, she is no different from them.

She would rather monitor Li Xian personally than believe that he would mean what he said.

Fan Zeng was a genius who was afraid of chaos in the world. His eldest disciple, who was approved by him, could be somewhat obedient.

As if Lu Heng thought the matter was not big enough, he gave Xu Zhi an idea that he thought was very effective.

After all, this is how they always deal with mistakes made in Ailao Valley.

Things were going abnormally smoothly.

However, it happened that a man rushed back to Xianyang from Yingcheng of Chu State.

The sound of horse hooves clattered in the distance. It was a rainy night, the moonlight was bright, and the clear water in the courtyard reflected the moon's shadow.

After Fusu got married, Meng Yi was sent out and had been away from the capital for many days.

This time, he brought with him the jade artifact that the legendary great witch relied on after searching for a long time.

However, as fate would have it, he passed by the Daliang Posthouse that night.

Even though Meng Yi had always disliked Li Xian, but in this situation.

Meng Yi expressed his sympathy!

The weird scene in front of Meng Yi made him feel infuriated and angry!

"Your Highness, it's true, it's true!!"

Meng Yi was speechless.

Even though they were subjects, they should be respectful to the royal family.

But they are not dogs!!

How could she put a chain around his throat!

If Meng Yi knew the real process, he would never say that Ying Hehua was doing evil. He could only say that some people no longer conceal their twisted psychology and their methods were as dark as ever.

"What are you doing?" Xu Zhi watched him stretch out his hand consciously. She didn't realize that he could be so cooperative when he opened his eyes.

He laughed, "Since you're planning to lock me up, it doesn't matter where I am."

She had never thought of this.

Then he didn't give her a chance to hesitate, he raised his knees and she fell forward, and the lock was fastened.

Li Xian called Lu Heng and guided him to speak, asking him to bring up Jing Ke naturally and recall the rules of Ailao Mountain. That was probably his purpose.

He originally thought that if he needed this thing, he would have to be locked up for several days before it could be seen to be effective, but he didn't expect such a coincidence to happen.

As early as he discovered that Ying Zheng had sent Meng Yi to find out the whereabouts of the redstone, he had already been thinking about how to ensure that Meng Yi stayed out of the matter.

Of course, he would use any means necessary before Ying Zheng gave the order.

Li Xian knew Meng Tian and Meng Yi very well.

Just as he expected.

Therefore, when Wang Wan proposed something not long ago, Meng Yi did not take into account his many years of friendship with Wang Wan, and was even so anxious that he forgot to regard Wang Wan as an elder. He rejected Wang Wan's proposal in person without any consideration.

He rarely abandoned his composure and forgot about the balance of the court that Wang Wan was concerned about. He even went so far as to rebel, which might have been at the instruction of Ying Zheng.

His handsome face was extremely stiff.

"If what the Prime Minister said comes true, I would rather die suddenly."

For quite a long time, Meng Yi could not understand that the opportunity he did not want and the marriage handed to him were a gift that others could never get, and a destination that others could never reach in their entire lives.
