It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

As for why Meng Yi hates Ying Hehua so much.

The lurking darkness has been constructed in another way.

The moonlight is hidden in darkness.

That day.

Meng Yi hurriedly closed the door, and the lines on his face became even harder under the cold light of the white candle.

"Master Meng, I didn't ask you to retreat to the door."

Meng Yi didn't know what happened in the afternoon. He just felt that her voice was unusually low and cold. If "I" was replaced with "I", she would be exactly the same as her father.

Princess, that’s also a king.

Meng Yi could not disobey the emperor's order, so he held the hilt of the sword at his waist and went back into the door, but he could not take another step. He stood outside the screen, in a dimly lit place.

The only impression Ying Hehua left on Meng Yi was her arrogance as a princess. Later, after she returned to Xianyang from Chu, she openly intervened in the treatment of the remaining ministers of Han. Meng Yi knew that she was reporting her determination to her father.

But now the scene is a bit weird.

What Meng Yi saw meant what Ying Zheng would see. She came to contact Xunzi, not to intimidate the court officials.

She didn't want to argue with Meng Yi.

She stared at the person who was so close.

Li Xian smelled strongly of blood and medicine. He did not react to Meng Yi's sudden visit. He just glanced at her leisurely. In the light that was neither bright nor dim, her hair was like black satin, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow. He raised his chin slightly, and a slightly cool glow appeared in his eyes.

He thought she would feel embarrassed and give an incoherent explanation, so he didn't care whether his left shoulder, which had been stabbed by the knife, could withstand the attack, just to prevent her from stepping out of the screen.

But she just wanted to play along with the enemy, and wanted to make Meng Yi's misunderstanding of this situation even deeper.

She chuckled. "If you still want to maintain the friendship between you and Meng Yi, which is thinner than paper, it's best not to let him know that you are setting him up."

"design?"

"Don't tell me that he is here to take Xunzi back to Xianyang." She raised her eyebrows. "Not everyone is as interested in boring things as you are."

His dark eyes slid to the end of his eyes, and he stared at her. "I think no matter how exciting other things are, they are definitely not as attractive as what the princess is doing." He smiled, "After all, what Her Royal Highness sees is the whole future."

As he spoke, he supported himself with his right arm and sat up.

Xu Zhi was unfamiliar with the chains that Lu Heng brought, and Li Xian was too cooperative, so she really handcuffed him. He could have stayed still, lying quietly so that the scene would not seem abrupt, but he insisted on sitting up, so when he moved, the iron chain made a rattling sound.

He coughed twice strangely to make Meng Yi misunderstand him even more completely.

At this time, Li Xian raised his voice and said, "I will just take a rest for a while. Your Highness does not need to stay here to watch over me."

……

He had completely forgotten his shameless behavior four hours ago. He lowered his deceitful face again, pretending to be very "weak".

This isn't 'being a bitch', he is a bitch!

She suppressed her emotions.

"You know that my father sent Meng Yi to watch the discord between me and your father." She said coldly, "My every move is rarely out of my father's sight... If Meng Yi said that the court judge and I had formed a clique before the Zhang family left the capital, then it makes sense."

Only then did Li Xian realize that Xu Zhi had always known what Meng Yi meant.

In particular, a lot of changes have taken place in this life compared to the last one.

If Xunzi's doctrine had been established in the Qin State, Li Si's status would certainly have been completely different.

He also learned from the intelligence agency that Dun Ruo had told Ying Zheng that if Li Si and Yao Jia became prime ministers in the future, he would kill himself in Zhangtai Palace.

Li Xian tilted his face slightly and gave a faint smile.

Yes, when we met as children, she had already dropped her pretended innocence.

His belt was not tied tightly, but was wrapped with a bandage-like cloth. When he pushed it, the belt loosened, and his thin waistline was faintly visible.

Since he had to degenerate himself and act like this.

She gathered his collar, not allowing him to speak any more, and stood up and walked out from behind the screen, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Lord Meng."

It seemed to be raining outside again. Dense darkness came in through the window.

Meng Yi was stunned and lowered his head even lower. "...I don't dare."

"Your Excellency is already very busy with important matters. Do you want to read Xunzi's book?"

"…I didn't know that Your Highness and Supervisor Li were here for Xunzi's book."

When Meng Yi was in Chu, he heard a lot of gossip about Ying Hehua. He would not speculate about the princess casually, but seeing her behavior at this moment...how could he not think too much.

Xu Zhi said, "We encountered some trouble on the road before, but Supervisor Li was not good at martial arts and was seriously injured. I was worried that things were not handled well, so I came to visit."

Meng Yi listened to her explanation and quickly understood from her words why Li Xian was here.

Qin officials were known for their efficiency; when they left Xianyang, they usually did more than one thing.

Meng Yi was well aware that there were some differences between Li Si, the court judge, and Wang Wan, the prime minister. During the period of the destruction of the state, he and Wang Wan had been key members of the rear-line war preparations. Now the situation was clear and Qi was already on the verge of collapse.

When the world is unified, they will naturally have overlapping power spaces with the diligent figures of the previous dynasty.

Yong'an was different from her brother. Fusu was in the army and had been at the frontier for several years.

She had been influenced by Ying Zheng since she was young, first following Han Fei and Li Si, then studying under Zhang Liang, and making friends with scholars in Han, Zhao, Wei and Yan. Over the years, she had control over most of the secret chambers that were used to spy on the six countries. If the secret chambers were not banned, she would be the most prominent royal force among the civil officials.

Meng Yi understood that Princess Yong'an was leaving the city at this moment, and she dressed like this not to hide it from Ying Zheng, but to hide it from Xunzi.

But now, he saw that she was not the image of someone who went to marry Chu and endured for the sake of the country.

Ying Hehua was seen sitting next to a lacquered wooden desk, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with being in Li Xian's room so late at night.

The relationship between her and Li Xian had become unclear as early as when they ran away from their marriage.

The conversation ended when the candle flame burned out.

Meng Yi was not willing to stay for long, so he just said, "The princess's safety is more important than anything else. I hope the inspector will do his best to protect her."

Li Xian nodded. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary reminder. Meng Yi had been repeating these few words over and over again.

Meng Yi left not long ago.

The rain got heavier and the wind started to blow.

Xu Zhi put down the lamp with the oil filled in it, looked back at Li Xian, suppressed his unhappiness, and said kindly: "There are still many documents waiting for you to review tomorrow morning."

"I won't disturb you while you recover."

She always manages to combine intimidation with politeness.

Li Xian didn't say anything.

He was in deep thought, and suddenly he heard a reminder in Meng Yi's words before he left.

Meng Yi returned to the capital from Chu. Chu had many rivers, and his clothes were damp from the south.

Li Xian could not immediately understand what hidden danger Xu Zhi had helped Chen Ping to keep Xiang Yu with Xiang Yan by his trick, which had appeased them.

Xunzi came from Qi State, which is adjacent to the East China Sea. But what is deeper than the sea water is the ocean. Under the ocean, besides schools of fish, there are also ocean currents and dark seas. The whirlpools in them are absolutely unbearable for ordinary people.

Li Xian was a person who was in the middle of it. He watched the Qin State collapse step by step, and he was powerless to do anything.

This empire was forged in blood, with swords as its hardest shell and laws as its most powerful punishment.

As soon as Meng Yi left, an assassin arrived to kill Xunzi. Was this a coincidence, or was it Li Si's move, or was it the result of a discussion in the Xianyang court?

Li Xianben subconsciously thought that he was his father.

He raised his eyes, looked through the window, and met the gaze of the person on the beam not far away.

He knew the men in black outside.

His scalp was numb, his heart was trembling, and he could not hide the pain. Only then did Li Xian realize how painful the neat wound on his waist was.

Xunzi came to Qi. Was it Ying Zheng who was unwilling, or his father, or the Qin State?

These men in black are ordinary people, from the Qin state. They were the secret assassins that killed Xu Zhi when he was stranded in Huaiyin, Chu.

Li Xian finally understood where the missing letters from his previous life had gone.

Tonight they all carried fire boxes on their waists. They came here not to kill Xunzi, but to burn the books.

How could the idea of ​​burning books be a sudden idea or a snap decision? There were already signs of this.

It's like people created machines to help work faster and quicker, but when the machines get out of control, they will indiscriminately crush people's bones.

What kind of imperial machine was the Qin Dynasty that they had created with their own hands?

Once a monster is formed, no external force or human power can save it. The same is true for a country!

If it itself needs to be tied to chariots and killing, decorated with conspiracy and calculation, and thinks that kindness and goodness are a joke, then what kind of monster is it?

How can an empire last for thousands of years if it is bound to a cold and ruthless body?

Li Xian's thoughts day and night were fruitless, and he was about to be drowned in the abyss of capriciousness.

Only then did he touch upon the mystery.

"Don't make any noise." Li Xian was trembling and could only say this.

She was also a very tactful person. When she saw the cold light, she knew that tonight would not be peaceful.

"No wonder you want me to go back to Xianyang early."

She didn't know why he covered her eyes.

The sword flashed instantly, the punches were as fast as lightning, and afterimages flew everywhere.

Lu Heng knew that the sword in his hand could not remain clean and quiet in this chaotic night.

The night was thick, and the dozen or so men in black were so fast and powerful that they were almost unpredictable, like ghosts.

A cold and cruel atmosphere permeated the entire inn.

The fishy smell in the soil turned into the smell of blood, and thunder sounded again, cutting through the dark sky.

Lu Heng was indeed a peerless master. With each move, the cold sword tip shone with a chilling light and split the cold rain, splashing rain flowers.

As soon as the lights go out, the enemy will be defeated with one sword.

But the fire still passed through their eyes and a fire dragon leaped up.

Didn't wait until 5:44 am the next day.

Xu Zhi met Xunzi.

Xunzi looked at the blackened walls of the west room and the ashes of the bamboo slips scattered all over the floor. He said nothing and was almost fainted from anger!

Xu Zhi immediately surrounded him and whispered a few words into his ear. His pale face slowly turned red.

The guards of Daliang quickly rushed out and cleaned up the mess.

She will never know that the person who died in the rain tonight was not an assassin but a Qin citizen.

The day Xunzi walked into Xianyang City.

The scorching sun baked the leaves very hot. When the wind blew, the leaves on the treetops swayed and rolled like fish scales.
