A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"Do you know that if those words you say are heard by someone with intentions and reach Zheng'er's ears, even I won't be able to protect you?"

Lao Ai held Zhao Lijiang's hand and kissed it again and again. There was no love in his eyes, only the desire for power. He looked at the Queen Mother who had been coaxed into submission and said again.

"Li Jiang, I have worked so hard, but it's all for you! You are the Queen Mother, and you have to submit to Yongcheng. I really don't deserve it for you! Now that you are pregnant, why don't you cultivate a new obedient monarch? ?”

Zhao Lijiang was frightened when she heard these stupid words. She quickly covered Lao Ai's mouth and cursed.

"shut up!"

But my heart is really starting to waver!

"It's just you? You even have to pretend to be a eunuch when entering the palace. What ability do you have to support the new monarch?"

Lao Ai's idea of ​​plotting to usurp the throne was naturally not new to him now. It had already sprouted when Zhao Lijiang was pregnant with his child for the first time. This ambition was growing like a vine at this moment, and it had reached the point where there was no need to hide it. The situation!

Lao Ai smiled and moved Zhao Lijiang's hand away. He was full of confidence and was not afraid of failure of the plan at all. In what he thought was a big plan, it was foolproof!

"Although we are aggrieved in Yongcheng now, we are fortunate to be far away from the Qin Palace and it is convenient to do many things. Now Lijiang, you are the Queen Mother. Which of the officials in Yongcheng will not listen to you? Look, when we sit down, we will have more guests. There are more than thousands of people, and there are countless people who come here every day to pay tribute and establish relationships, so what do you have to worry about!"

"You want to rebel? Let me tell you, if you want to rebel against Zheng'er, it's not that easy. Be careful not to eat the mutton, or you'll be in trouble!"

Seeing that Zhao Lijiang was still hesitating and not determined to rebel, Lao Ai felt a little unhappy, but she still said in a pleasant tone.

"Li Jiang, it's natural for you to hesitate about this kind of thing. After all, the fetus in your belly is mine. If you admit this, you will be ashamed, right?"

Zhao Lijiang still hadn't decided whether to keep the twins in his belly until he was about to give birth. Seeing that his belly was getting bigger and bigger, naturally they couldn't be discovered by others, so Zhao Lijiang had to move around in the dormitory all day. , not even taking a step out of the palace gate.

"This matter... you ask me to think about it for a few days. Since ancient times, how can anyone rebel against his own son? Even if Zheng'er doesn't recognize me anymore, I am still his mother. The position of the Queen Mother is naturally secure, and for me Yan, this rebellion is really unnecessary."

Zhao Lijiang retracted his hand. Seeing her like this, Lao Ai had to give up even though he was unwilling to do so.

"Li Jiang... think about our children. If these two children are born without names and status, how do you expect them to survive? How do they face these people?"

Ying Zheng and his party were still separated from Wang Jian and Shi Yi. Under the leadership of Wang Yi, they went to the official Shang's house in the nearest city. When the monarch suddenly arrived at the house of a small official, he was naturally in a hurry, not to mention that the monarch was injured at this time.

After settling down, Wang Yi sent someone to look for Wang Jian. Shimi told Master Shang not to reveal to anyone that Ying Zheng was injured. He also sent someone to send a message to Xianyang at high speed, asking Lu Buwei to send troops to take Ying Zheng back.

After a long journey and a long journey, the group was finally safe and had the opportunity to think long and hard about the assassination.

Who was responsible for the murder? Everyone has their own answer. If you give an example, the number of people is really huge. The assassins sent by the six countries alone are countless. Every country wants Ying Zheng's life.

Several people sat around and pondered.

Shimi seemed to suddenly think of something. She glanced at everyone and said slowly

"Don't you think... the men in black were divided into two teams this time?"

"what for?"

Ying Zheng asked hurriedly

Shimi glanced at Wang Yi and saw him nodding, which made him more sure of his thoughts.

"The first batch of assassins who rushed out of the forest seemed to be here for me. They clearly saw the king right in front of them, but they didn't seem to have any intention of killing him. Almost all the assassins were surrounding me. Kill. But when we finished the second batch of blood and prepared to escape, the second batch of assassins almost killed everyone, even the king. No matter the target or the moves they used, they all Even more ruthless than the first batch, they almost forced us into a desperate situation!"

Shimi glanced at Ying Zheng and already had some reasonable guesses.

"Who do you think... sent you?"

Shimi swallowed and seemed a little hesitant. Ying Zheng could see it and said again

"Just say it, no matter what you think of, say it truthfully."

Wang Yi seemed to be aware of Shimi's fear, and knew that because of his presence, what she said next was not suitable for him to know, so he stood up and found an excuse to leave.

When Shimi saw Wang Yi closing the door, he walked to the couch where Ying Zheng was leaning and whispered:

"I think... the first batch of assassins were probably sent by the Queen Mother..."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was not surprised, but asked again

"Why? You should tell me..."

Shimi glanced at Ying Zheng and saw that his expression was serious, but he was no longer worried.

"If they are assassins sent by other countries, why kill me, a concubine with no reputation? Whether I live or die has no impact on other countries at all. Since these assassins are here for my life, it is obvious that they are behind the control. Those who have enmity against me and want to take my life can be counted on one hand. Yan Dan... Yan Dan is now serving as a hostage in Qin. Not to mention sending troops, he can't even send a letter. Go out, if Yan State sent people to assassinate on its own, it would be better to kill you and me, instead of just taking my life. And Zhao Yan... he may indeed kill me, but if Zhao State sends people, It's impossible to kill just me! Among them, the only one is the Queen Mother... The Queen Mother still remembers the grudge of that day, so naturally she won't let me go easily. There is probably an informant in the palace who knew that we were leaving the palace, so she set up this special arrangement. Lay an ambush."

Ying Zheng was silent for a long time and then asked

"What about the second batch of assassins?"

Shikiya thought for a while and said

"There are so many possibilities for the second batch of assassins. Just in Qin State alone, Ying Zheng, you don't dare to say that no one will assassinate you, right?"

"There are probably countless people in Qin who want to kill me."

Ying Zheng held Shimi's hand and felt a little emotional

"As long as this right falls into the hands of others, my life will be in the hands of others."

Shiki looked at him, his eyes a little firmer.

"Now that Your Majesty is almost twenty years old, Lu Buwei has held the power for a long time. It might be difficult for him to hand it over all together. Your Majesty, it's time to close the net..."

"Do you think Lu Buwei will return power to me?"

"Your Majesty... do you think Lu Buwei will be the second Duke of Zhou?"
