It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

There was finally a faint light beside the west hall of Zhilan Palace.

The firelight poured out from the windowsill and condensed on the wooden floor, with vertical lines and spiral circles. He finally saw the interior decoration clearly - a very modern side hall - the painting table rose from the ground, with honeysuckle vines carved on it, and the seats were chairs and standing tables, surrounded by the Qin Dynasty black bird totem painted red and black.

The heat and cold air from his breath collided and produced a bright mist.

It seemed that she realized that the chains were useless to him, so she locked his wrists to make it a success.

The person guarding him was not Shen Zhi, but a female secret guard.

The secret guards never show their true faces, but Li Xian always feels familiar with them. Their stature and back look like they are the same person...

He tested her.

The result was not what he expected. The woman was not the daughter of a civil servant, but was good at using hidden weapons! A dart flew out quickly with a swoosh! It landed on the armrest of the sandalwood chair beside him.

Then the woman's hoarse voice rang out. "Next time, my darts will not have eyes. If I accidentally make you blind, that would be terrible."

The tone of her voice was very similar to Xu Zhi's. If they hadn't been together for many years, they would never have been so similar. But her tone was far from as steady as Xu Zhi's.

The woman turned her back and lit a stick of incense in the hall.

His sight was attracted by the light coming from the main hall. With the help of the light, he could also see clearly the thing in his hand that made him unable to move. The light reflected by the shiny copper piece reminded him of many years ago - when Xu Zhi went to the prison to see Zhao Jia, he was dissatisfied with the Qin State's interrogation method after returning, and later found an opportunity to give his father some advice:

She said: "The weight of the shackles is unbearable for ordinary people. If a case takes ten days or half a month to be concluded, there will be bruises on the neck and necrosis of the arm. There are many unconvicted people who are waiting for review. The violent law enforcement part of the procedure can be changed, for example, it can be replaced by light handcuffs."

At that time, he found a record in advance and wrote it into a document, which was then presented to Ying Zheng by Li Si. Soon, this detail was implemented.

Li Xian moved the iron tool in his hand and couldn't help but think of the word "you deserve it".

If he timed it correctly, it should be several hours.

Not to mention ten days or half a month, he couldn't disappear even for three days. There were many restless people from the six kingdoms in the Supervisory County Office where Li Xian was originally located. After a week of inspection in Chu, he found that Chu was more risky. If the nobles of Chu were allowed to make trouble, and after Xiang Yan surrendered to Qin, the old nobles would show off their power by "having connections above", and they would be able to turn the local officials and counties upside down in a few days.

He left Chu and returned to Xianyang, bringing back the jade plate that Ying Zheng was supposed to ask Meng Yi to take back. Perhaps Ying Zheng already knew what he wanted to do.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhi locked him up.

However, this did not count as a prisoner for him. He thought the items made by Mo Qi and Xu Zhi were very interesting.

Take this chair, for example.

In fact, she had already made it more than ten years ago. She even asked the craftsmen to give him some similar things, but at that time his father and her father were both young and strong, and they were puzzled and not interested in it, so they left it idle.

Habit is a powerful thing that can make people lazy and afraid of new things.

But he accepts new things quickly.

No one in this world understood him better than she did. She treated all of them, the "dead things" and "old and rotten wood", equally.

Young, old, gray-haired children, or octogenarians, it's all the same.

There is no difference between dying once and dying twice.

So, he subconsciously relaxed his nerves in the gray darkness and leaned back.

Others would only think that Li Xian was unreasonable. He was under house arrest in the palace and was bored?

So the female comforter just now felt quite disappointed when she saw him again. Li Xian could really sit still? At this time, he was actually resting with his eyes closed?

"If Your Highness has finished his work, will you let me leave?"

The person who answered him was obviously more anxious. "It would be useless if Lord Li wanted to stay any longer."

The snake-like light slowly released from his eyes.

"Wang Yan." He repeated her name.

The person whose name was called began to tremble.

The light that came in from outside revealed a pretty face, but it looked a little pale after her father's death.

"You pretended to be sick at home, but it turned out that you went to Zhilan Palace without telling your father." He exposed her casually.

"I'm not pretending to be sick," her father said, the Chu people are unfathomable, Li Xianru is his father, and there seems to be a water plant in his eyes, wet and sinister. This is what she has seen since she was a child, and she was almost scared to tears. After they became adults, they have only met twice in total.

It's even colder now, and even has a hint of ash than when I was a child.

"What are you doing here?"

She looked away, not looking into his eyes. "I don't need to explain the reason to you."

Li Xian smiled and glanced at her like a child, "If Yongan knew..."

She was so nervous that she raised her voice, "Your Highness the Princess won't know!"

She calmed down for a moment and stared at the lights. "I have never had any ill will towards Lord Li. I just want to tell you the truth. As for your question about when His Highness will release you, I think you will be free after the wedding date with Lord Meng is set."

"..."

Li Xian waited for her next words.

Wang Yan shook the imperial edict in her hand and said, "I know you won't believe it easily, so I thought I'd just show it to you."

Li Xian saw the writing on it, with the seal of the imperial court and her brightly colored seal.

"Why are you showing this to me?"

Wang Yan thought of a piece of white and a touch of red.

Many years ago, at the flower banquet when Zhao State conquered the country, she wore a red coral dress, which amazed more than one person. At that time, Wang Yan saw her and grabbed Zhang Liang's sleeve. Zhang Liang was shocked and coughed several times. She then pretended to be obedient and shook it twice, begging him not to leave. After that, her master could not pull her sleeve out. After walking a few steps, Wang Yan met her. Maybe she saw that she was about the same age as herself, so she waved in her own way, exaggeratedly waving her whole arm, and handed her a peony flower with a smile on her face.

There were also sparse white snowflakes falling from cedars, the same white as the soul flags. People stepped on the snow and it creaked. It was soft and hard. It was a long way to Mount Li. She had endured for several days and was exhausted. She hugged her when she fell. Some officials who were accompanying her tried to stop her. Her cold and sharp voice frightened everyone. She protected her from behind and said, "Wang Yan, don't worry, ride with me."

Wang Wan has always been a law-abiding person, but who says that being able to retire from the political arena is not a kind of wisdom? Wang Yan inherited this wisdom beyond the rules.

She mustered up her courage and looked into Li Xian's eyes. "Why?" She smiled. "Of course, it's the same as you. I don't want the princess to marry someone else."

After she finished speaking, the light from the door closed again, but a gap was left intentionally.

Once the wedding date is set and the imperial edict is announced, there will be no turning back.

The halo was shut out.

It was pitch black in front of his eyes. Before he took two steps, a gust of cold wind blew straight into his vest!

With a whooshing sound, the skin on the left half of the face near the cheekbone felt a burning pain, and red liquid oozed out.

He can earn opportunities for himself from Ying Zheng.

He does have possibilities that Zhang Liang could never match.

He also had the foresight gained from his previous life's experiences and a tacit bargaining chip with her.

Over the years, she has had a close relationship with the Li family. After the Yingchuan case was concluded, she had already been tied together with them in private.

But she would rather ignore Meng Yi's constant cold eyes than pretend to be friendly with him?

Did she not trust him from the beginning to the end and hate him to this extent?

In order to make up for his past mistakes, he was willing to disobey his father and even disregard his own life.

He couldn't wait any longer.

He was not afraid to do things that were extremely treasonous and punishable by death.
