Naturally, Shimi was not naive enough to think that everything would be fine if she entered the Qin Palace and stayed by Ying Zheng's side. She knew that there were dangers all around her, and not everyone in the Qin Palace obeyed her. She did not want the King of Qin to launch a war just to save a woman. This incident has already made the ministers dissatisfied. Although Ying Zheng has not mentioned it in the past few days, Shimi has guessed it every time he sees his upset look.

After living in the Qin Palace for half a month, Shimi has always been the subject of discussion. Some of these topics are good and some are bad. She doesn't want to ask too much. Occasionally, Zhucui will be dissatisfied and complain to him with a pout, suggesting that he should be taught a lesson. Only those minions who talk nonsense. But Shimi just shook his head, not wanting to cause more trouble. If he punished any palace servant now, he would be guilty of being arrogant and favored. Although Ying Zheng was partial, it would only make the officials more dissatisfied.

"My Lady, are you going to let those people keep talking about you behind your back? I think you have to punish them and establish your prestige! Tell them not to dare to talk again in the future!"

"I have just returned to Qin, and the reason for my coming is so complicated. Naturally, there will be people discussing it. If they pay attention to it, I'm afraid it will only make the matter more uproar, so just ignore it... As time goes by, these topics will naturally fade away."

The two masters and servants took a leisurely walk in the Qin Palace. Although they returned to Ying Zheng, he was now the king of Qin. Naturally, he had endless things to do every day. Although he had not officially taken over the actual power, Lu Buwei went to the palace every day to report. Regarding political affairs, what the ministers said every day and what suggestions they made to the monarch were expressed word for word, and they were also very responsible.

It's just that... Shikiya felt faintly dissatisfied.

Although Ying Zheng is still the master of power in the Qin State, Lu Buwei has always been the one who makes plans and implements plans. He is both the prime minister and Ying Zheng's father-in-law. It can be said that he has the greatest power now except for the king! There is nothing anyone can do to him. I am afraid that as time goes by, the network of relationships established by Lu Buwei will only become denser and wider, and the scope will become wider and wider. If you want to get your rights back, you will have to put some effort into it.

As he walked, Shimi saw Chengyu not far away. He was still the same as when they first met. He was alone, holding a wooden sword, standing blankly under the shade of the tree, not knowing where he was. What to think.

Shimi was about to take a step forward, but Zhucui held her back.

"Empress, don't go. The young master is like a dragon. No one dares to approach him in the Qin Palace..."

"Why? After all, he is also the child of the late king!"

"My lady..."

Zhucui lowered her voice

"Of course this is what the Queen Mother meant. When the two of them competed for the position of prince, Cheng Yu's biological mother Yue Ji almost caused the monarch to lose his life. The Queen Mother hated them with all her heart! She has ordered everyone in the Qin Palace to keep him alive. , as for how to live, everyone knows it very well, and dare not pay attention to him anymore, for fear of being blamed by the Queen Mother. "

Shimi looked at him. His age was exactly the same as when he first met Ying Zheng. Cheng Yao was just like Ying Zheng back then, reticent and full of melancholy.

She ignored Zhucui's words, but walked forward and asked with a smile

"Do you want to dance with a sword?"

Since the death of his biological mother, the young master who was favored by thousands of people has become a person that everyone can't avoid. Because of Zhao Lijiang's pressure, he has no biological father and mother to back him up. In this huge Qin Dynasty, In the palace, Chengyu became a ball of air. No matter good or bad, no one cared about him. Shimiya was the only one who was willing to take the initiative to care about him in these years.

Cheng Yu looked at Shimi and remembered that she was his brother's beloved concubine whom he had met a few days ago.

He had a slightly dull look in his eyes, a stiff expression, and nodded.

"Has a master taught you before?"

Cheng Yu nodded in response.

Shikiya asked again

"If you are willing, can you dance for me?"

But Cheng Yu shook his head and responded softly.

"I forgot……"

Like a wooden box that has not been opened for a long time, although Cheng Yu is young, his voice is very hoarse and dry. He has not been spoken to for a long time, and his temperament has changed from the cute and cute before to being withdrawn and weird. Even Meng Ao once taught him. After a while, he had forgotten all about it.

Although he was difficult to communicate with, Shimiya did not mean to ignore him, but tried to continue asking.

"If you believe me, can you lend me your wooden sword? Even though I am a woman, I know a little bit about kung fu."

Cheng Yu blinked, as if he didn't believe it.

"Don't look at me like this, but my master is Li Mu? Li Mu, you must have heard of him, right? He is a famous general of Zhao State. I used to live in Zhao State."

Cheng Yu didn't say a word, but handed the wooden sword to Shimi. This small gesture surprised Shimi. The lonely Cheng Yu was willing to communicate with him!

Shimiya took the wooden sword, just like Li Mu taught her before, every move was clean and graceful, and the wooden sword she was wielding seemed not to be a decoration, but as if it was a real sword with murderous intent!

Zhucui, who was standing aside, had been stunned for a long time. She shouted excitedly

"Your Majesty, I don't know that you have such good skills! I have never known that a woman can wield a knife or a gun, and she is no less capable than a man!"

"Of course! Women can do whatever they want! Of course they can do it! There is no need to be bound by rules and regulations! And no one stipulates that women cannot touch weapons!"

Shikiya hadn't moved her muscles for a long time. Although she was holding a light wooden sword, she was still very happy. She caught a glimpse of Chengyu standing aside, staring at her intently!

"Sir, if you think my kung fu is good, would you like me to come practice with you every day?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before he heard Chengyu's response, an arrow suddenly flew from the forest not far away and flew straight towards Shimiya!

Before anyone could react, Shimi blocked the attack with the wooden sword in his hand! The arrow pierced the body of the wooden sword, and actually shot the wooden sword through!

"Who shot the secret arrow?!"

Shimi looked towards the forest and saw no one. When he was about to call someone, he realized that Zhu Cui and Cheng Xi were both stunned!

I haven’t even had time to say anything yet to remind them to be careful! Several more arrows flew from the dark place. Shimi used the half-broken wooden sword to block the attacks one after another, only to find an arrow flying towards Chengyu!

Without thinking, she rushed forward and hugged Chengyu into her arms. When she was about to block it with her wooden sword, she was a few seconds too late. A flying arrow shot through Shimi's sleeve and grazed her arm. His skin and flesh flew out!

Seeing her master's arm covered in blood, Zhu Cui, who was standing aside, remembered and shouted for help.

"Help! Help! There is an assassin! Someone wants to kill the empress!!"

The originally quiet Qin Palace suddenly became lively!

Shi Yi, who was having trouble and didn't want to serve Shimi, arrived late. She heard that someone was assassinating someone in the palace, so she came immediately! He saw a dark shadow flashing across the forest, and Shi Yi chased after him without a second thought!
