A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

For Yan Dan, Shimi's arrival has brought too many disasters, one after another. While he was waiting at home for the news that the assassin had fled the city and that Shimi had no evidence, word came from the palace that King Yan summoned him and asked him to accompany Qin's noble concubine to a banquet.

As soon as the summons here arrived, news came from the spies he sent out. The fleeing assassins were captured by Meng Tian personally before they even reached the outside of the city, and all of them were executed!

"This...she, what on earth is she going to do?! What kind of medicine is she selling in her gourd!"

Yan Dan is confused! Shikiya should know at this moment that he is the one who set the fire, so why do he still have a banquet with him? Could it be that...she wanted to expose herself in front of her father? Let yourself lose your position as prince? !

Yan Dan was panic-stricken. Since returning to Yan State, everything has developed towards the most difficult place, and nothing has gone smoothly! Even this seemingly seamless assassination allowed him to escape! Although he was unwilling, he still listened to his father's words and walked into the palace with heavy steps and went to the main hall.

It's just that today's banquet is not as extravagant as the previous one. Apart from King Yan, Shimi is the only one in the palace. He is surrounded by several tall Qin soldiers guarding him, and he looks quite majestic!

Shimiya's transformation was something Yan Dan could never have imagined! If the woman in front of me was the little girl back then, then she would be like a phoenix reborn from rebirth! The innocent look from before is completely gone! What is in front of him at this moment is the beloved concubine of the King of Qin who represents the power of the Qin Kingdom! She is the only concubine of King Qin Yingzheng! Much loved! Yan Dan could tell that she was dressed in a gorgeous and valuable phoenix robe and a gold crown of pearls and emeralds. She didn't look as graceful and charming as an ordinary concubine, but she looked invincible! She is a concubine! He is also Ying Zheng’s right-hand man! Is the best companion! Ying Zheng must have placed great trust in her by allowing her to come to Yan State to negotiate!

Yan Dan glanced at Shimi briefly, and after sitting down, her heartbeat was racing. Only then did he realize that he had underestimated Ying Zheng's love for her!

"Yan Dan, why have you never told Gu that you were an old friend of the King of Qin when you were in Zhao? You also know this Princess of Qin..."

Yan Dan was speechless for a moment, stumbling and not knowing how to answer. He felt guilty, and Shimiya could see it.

Seeing her smile slightly and her face gentle and pleasant, Shimi said slowly

"My lord, you don't know something. Prince Yan Dan and I not only know each other. We used to be in the same Zhao country, but we called each other brother and sister, and we were more like family. This time I came here in person just to meet brother Yan Dan."

Yan Dan heard that her voice was slightly hoarse, and she knew that the fire had also made her choke!

"Then...why didn't you mention Yan Dan? If Princess Qin hadn't mentioned it to Gu personally, Gu wouldn't have known that you two still had such a fate!"

King Yan was in a very good mood at this time. He originally thought that the fire burned down the post and angered Princess Qin, and the two countries would never be on good terms again. Who would have thought that the concubine who came here was so generous, did not hold grudges, and even went out of her way to Win over Prince Yan and promote friendship between the two countries.

Yan Dan felt very unhappy when he saw Shimi talking eloquently. He no longer understands the woman in front of him! The innocence of the past cannot describe Shikiya now! She knew clearly that she was the one who set the fire, but she didn't complain or even mention it at all! She must have a bigger conspiracy! She is no longer the simple-minded little girl she used to be!

Shimi's conversation with King Yan was always gentle and full of smiles, which made King Yan completely believe that the Qin State really came to seek peace this time. He no longer doubted it, agreed with a smile on his face, and even thanked Ying Zheng in every possible way. Willing to support Yan State.

Shimi smiled, raised his glass and took a sip, then glanced at Yan Dan. This look made Yan Dan feel terrified!

"Your Majesty... Since I, the Qin Dynasty, have sent a major general to come with me to seek peace, this shows that I am full of sincerity. I also know that you, King Yan, must also want to have a good relationship between the two countries."

"Yes, yes...that's natural..."

King Yan was overjoyed and responded with a smile

"Then, how does the Yan State show its sincerity? You can't just... just talk about it, right? You have to show some sincerity so that I can explain to the King of Qin!"

Shimi in Yan Dan's eyes is full of scheming! What she said tonight was so right, but she didn't want to bring up the topic of letting herself go to Qin as a hostage. When the topic was about to end, Yan Dan also knew that her death was imminent!

"Then...how can Qin Guo show its sincerity to Gu Gu?"

Shimi smiled, full of confidence. She pretended to think for a while, then looked at Yan Dan and asked with some hesitation.

"Can we let Brother Yan Dan go back to Qin with us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Dan was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up, shouting

"I will never go back with you!"

Shikiya wasn't angry or surprised, which was all what she expected. Instead, Mr. Yan Wang was angry. Seeing that Yan Dan was so ignorant of etiquette, he sternly scolded him to sit down!

"Brother Yan Dan, there is no need to resist like this. This time I ask you to follow us back to Qin. I am not using you as a hostage. You and I have been friends with the King of Qin since childhood. We will never treat you badly like Zhao Guo." , you have gone to Qin State, and you are my distinguished guest in Great Qin. We haven’t seen each other for many years, wouldn’t it be better if we take this opportunity to catch up on old times?”

"Shikiya! What do you want?! Do you want me to die in a foreign country?! You vicious woman!"

Yan Dan looked like he was going crazy. He suddenly fell to his knees and kowtowed to King Yan to plead for mercy.

"Father! My son must not go to the Qin State! I have just escaped from being a hostage in the Zhao State, how can I go to the Qin State as a hostage again?! Although they don't regard us as hostages, in the eyes of outsiders! This is my son!"

He kowtowed several times in succession. After hearing this, King Yan looked solemn. He stroked his beard and fell into deep thought. Shimi on the side was not in a hurry to urge him, but just looked at them coldly.

After a long time, King Yan finally spoke.

"Since you were friends with King Qin and Princess Qin in the past, it is most appropriate for you to go to Qin this time! I chatted with Princess Qin for a while and know that she is not a scheming person. If you go, they will definitely treat you with courtesy. Treat each other, you... why wouldn't you do it?"

King Yan paused and said again

"This is what you should do for the crown prince. In order to maintain the relationship between the two countries, your sacrifice is nothing. Okay... don't say any more. Gu has made up his mind. When Princess Qin returns, you will follow her. Let them go!"

Yan Dan lay on the ground, with hatred constantly emerging in his heart. Even if he didn't want to, he couldn't tell his father how he owed Shimi and Ying Zheng in the Zhao Kingdom! This incident actually left me speechless! The mute had no choice but to eat Coptis chinensis, unable to express his sufferings!
