It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Chen Ping had just expressed his loyalty and had many things in his hands. Ying Hehua handed him a brocade bag, which contained five gold pieces two fingers wide. She said it was his "year-end bonus"... He was happy at first, but when he asked Shen Zhi, she also had some, and her efforts were better than his, he immediately felt wronged again, and the word "biased" was almost written on his face.

Shen Zhi was speechless, "Why didn't you mention the fact that His Highness asked you to get an official position?"

Chen Ping nodded thoughtfully. When he turned around and went back to his car, he saw Meng Yi. He and him had no grudges against each other and their positions did not overlap at all.

But ever since what happened that night, he became a little frightened whenever he saw him.

On the day Xu Zhi left Yongcheng, it snowed heavily in Yongcheng. In less than an hour, the snow covered all the traces of her carriage, as if her carriage had never been there.

Before getting in the car.

Yuan Man gathered her cloak, held her hand and talked to her for a long time. First, she told her to take care of herself and take the tonics for health and vitality on time, and second, she told her solemnly not to worry about Xu Fu, and when she found him, she would find the people she left behind and tell her the news.

Xu Zhi looked at the various wild delicacies and said, "If it's as my sister said, we'll have to eat them until summer. I'll have a nosebleed."

Yuan Man insisted that she take everything back, Xu Zhi couldn't refuse, so she asked someone to unload a large box of ginseng, "Then I don't want this."

"This thing is..." She didn't finish her words. This was cultivated on Mount Zhongnan, and it was said to be cultivated by Mo Qi.

Xu Zhi didn't know how to tell her that this time she went back, the court in Xianyang would be a den of dragons and tigers. If she could have a smooth journey, the energy she had spent would be rewarded with the greatest comfort in the shortest time.

She thought of Zhang Liang, Dun Ruo, and many helpless people. She didn't want anyone else to get into trouble, be unhappy, or be sacrificed on the road built by Qin.

She smiled and leaned close to her ear and said, "As for ginseng, I am too young to use it. But it is indeed a good thing for strengthening the body, suitable for people who practice martial arts. I estimate that it will be summer when Meng Tian returns from Shangjun, so why not keep it for him to get angry..."

"Hehua...how can you keep saying this? General Meng is a meritorious official."

"All right, all right. There's a lot of time to come."

Her cheeks turned red, and she gently pinched her younger sister's waist, asking her to stop talking.

Meng Yi accidentally saw the scene in front of him and thought of what happened a few days ago.

Since she came of age, she liked to wear black robes, probably because of the same habit as her father. The difference was that she always had a smile on her face, which Meng Yi thought was mostly fake. In any case, her eyes were indeed less intimidating than Ying Zheng's.

Like that day, she dismissed everyone and knelt at his desk.

Meng Yi felt uncomfortable. He wanted to stand up immediately, but was held back by her peripheral vision.

"I'm going back to Xianyang. Don't worry about the Xu Fu I asked you to investigate for now," she said.

He was originally going to take her back to Xianyang, he just nodded, not knowing that she would be delighted.

"It's good that Lord Meng is considerate sometimes."

He had never wanted to embarrass her. However, her behavior was not like that of a normal princess. She would say things that made him feel incomprehensible, so he was naturally surprised by her.

Tian Dan, who had just been released from prison, burst into tears in front of Ying Hehua, expressing his great gratitude to her for letting him go.

The arrogant Tian Dan seemed to be subdued by the Qin prison in an instant.

Tian Dan hunched his waist and did not stand up until Ying Hehua left. He touched the sore parts of his body and was a little unsteady on his feet. Tian Xi came to help him, but he pushed her away with a palm.

Once the utilization value depreciates, the living environment will quickly dry up.

Tian Xi stared at the carriage with four horses standing side by side disappearing from her sight, wondering what she was thinking.

-

On the first day after returning to Xianyang, Xu Zhi did not have time to meet Ying Zheng, as the changes in the court reached her ears first.

While Wang Wan was ill, Li Si took over as prime minister.

Xu Zhi was suspicious. Logically speaking, Wang Wan was the right minister at that time, so Li Si should be the left prime minister.

With this doubt, she waited for Meng Yi who said he wanted to talk to her on the road.

"I have known you for more than ten years. How do you think I am different from ten years ago?"

Why did she say 'I know him'? When she was playing with mud before she was six, did she not call him every time?

He wanted to say that there was no difference, that he was just as scheming and domineering. However, he did not say anything to scold him in front of others.

"Your Highness the Princess has been honored by His Majesty for ten years."

She didn't expect him to say that.

The next decade...

"No matter how many decades it takes, I will still respect and love my father as always."

Her smile puzzled him.

Meng Yi finally couldn't stand this suppressed scene for too long, so he spoke out, and thus the matter of the marriage edict was brought to the table.

Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to speak straight to the point.

"Meng Yi, you and I don't have to be a couple of grudges."

She quietly shocked him with an unexpected gesture.

This was the first time she invited him to Zhilan Palace, and also the last time.

In winter, the water on the branches freezes into ice. In Li Si's house, the heat is lingering, the fragrance of Sichuan tea is everywhere, white mist is lingering on the Boshan stove, and the desk is silent.

after a long time.

"If the Chief Justice still remembered his own way, he should not have allowed Princess Yong'an to return to the court." Sima Cheng said.

"If Yongan doesn't come back, I think she will really dig up the Yongcheng case. How can Brother Sima put the old things on hold?"

Sima Cheng said: "...In this way, Wang Wan's proposal will probably prevail."

"Before that, Yongan must take care of himself first."

Sima Cheng paused, thinking that the person chosen by Ying Zheng was from the Li family, and asked in surprise: "Did the Emperor's marriage decree be given to your son?!"

Li Si smiled and shook his head. "There is no difference in the names."

"Tingwei. First, the eldest son married Wang Jian's daughter. If Princess Yong'an marries Meng, it will be very disadvantageous to us in the future." Sima Cheng hesitated for a moment, "What's more, your son..."

Li Si drank a sip of warm wine, his eyes were cold, and he changed the subject, "Jing Qian has been in Shu for many years, and you have investigated many old cases."

Only then did Sima Cheng realize how terrifying his classmate was.

Li Si was talking about the Shangdang incident in Yingchuan County. He let Li Xian find out and didn't mind Li Xian telling Ying Hehua.

The series of consequences triggered by this incident were more or less instigated by him.

At that time, Li Si proposed to Ying Zheng to let Ying Hehua return to the court. This was to allow her to be too busy with her marriage when Wang Wan proposed the enfeoffment, so that Li Si could promote his own political theory.

For Li Si, her quick return to Xianyang still came as a surprise.

But no matter what she chooses.

He won't lose.

"Given Yongan's personality since she was young, no one can force her to do something she doesn't want to do." Li Si smiled, "I have always told you that Princess Yongan is just like Your Majesty. People like them will not allow others to have the opportunity to threaten them."

Sima Cheng thought he was drunk, "Be careful with your words when you are familiar with the ancients."

"Brother Sima, I don't like this courtesy name," he corrected.

"…You are crazy. This is a gift from His Majesty."

Given by Ying Zheng, do you dare to say you don’t like it?

He laughed deeply, and the wind and snow fluttered his ink-colored official robe.

"I have always despised the past and the present. Your Majesty has given me such a courtesy name. What should I think?"

"Shut up!"

After he finished speaking, Sima Cheng saw the cat in his house again, but it was brought out from the warm room by the old servant.

Some snow outside the door got on the long-haired cat. He quickly took it in his arms and wiped the water stains with his official robe. After brushing away the snow, the cat's fur was still quite beautiful.

But you can see that it can no longer run.

The man and the cat looked at each other, and then the old cat followed Li Si's hand and curled up obediently on his lap.

He stroked the cat's back gently and said to it, "It's cold, don't play too much."

When Li Si did these things, he never avoided his classmates.

Han Fei and Zheng Guo knew about this.

However, Sima Cheng often didn't come to school, so he didn't understand.

This caused Sima Cheng to feel very disconnected when he saw this scene.

In the last second, he had just used people over and over again. In the next second, he acted as if nothing had happened. Then, he took good care of a cat.

And this virtue of his was passed on to his son over the years.

Sima Cheng also finished his wine.

He felt that he should leave, and he wanted to return to his Shu County as soon as possible before the storm came.

-

A day ago, the light was dim in the dark room of the prison, the chain of the torture instrument was dragging, and the scratching noise drilled into the person's scalp. With a click, the tied person was suddenly lifted up and hung upside down in the air, letting out a shrill scream.

"……who are you?"

Chen Bo said: "As long as Lord Jing tells us the whereabouts of the Zhao family, our master will not embarrass you."

It flickered, revealing the clear-cut profile of the person sitting on the seat. He stroked the hilt of the sword at his waist, his dark eyes darkening.

Then, the bamboo slips were placed in front of the officials.

The official then realized that it was the inspector. He felt guilty, "... Lord Li, you, you can't interfere in Chu..."

With a bang, a person fell down from his side, and the person who was hanging just now had an extremely red face.

Two jailers held him up, blood was dripping from his mouth and he couldn't even lift his eyelids.

The officials realized at a glance that he was a member of the witch clan beside the great witch of the Chu State. In the Chu State, they have always had the power to communicate with the gods, and only the royal family can get close to them.

The man struggled and tried his best to raise his head.

The person he met was a tough guy again. He grabbed Li Xian's clothes and laughed sinisterly.

"Li Xian, you are destined to die a miserable death!"

He glanced at the person crawling in the hall with contempt, not taking these words to heart at all.

He raised his hand, and the man's blood splattered and he was dead.

My past life was a complete tragedy.

How bad can life get?
