A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

The night was as cold as water. Ying Zheng just put on a thin pajamas and sat in front of the window sill. He put one hand on his knee. Although he looked lazy and quiet, he felt lonely inside.

The sky is not beautiful tonight. The moon is hidden behind the clouds, like a veil. Yongcheng is not as prosperous as Xianyang. It is naturally quiet after dark. In this late autumn season, it is difficult to even hear the chirping of insects...

Seeing that he was worried, Wang Jian did not come forward to disturb him. He just looked at his profile from a distance with his brows furrowed. He had too much helplessness and too many longings. When he showed his loneliness, Wang Jian understood that he I miss Shikiya.

He said nothing and just looked out the window. When he was about to raise his hand to pour tea, Wang Jian hurriedly stepped forward to take the teapot.

"Your Majesty... let me come."

Ying Zheng looked up at him. Instead of his usual majesty, his face was gentle. He smiled and said

"Let's sit down together."

Now that Yongcheng is surrounded by crises, Ying Zheng's soothing attitude at this moment is obviously a bit out of place. Wang Jian was stunned and responded.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, you'd better rest early."

"How can I sleep? How about you just chat with me to pass the tense atmosphere?"

He smiled faintly, not like a king of a country, but like a young master from an ordinary family. He seemed to have a lot of sorrows and was eager to find someone to talk to.

Wang Jian couldn't refuse any more, so he sat down opposite Ying Zheng.

"Wang Jian, how many years have we known each other?"

"If we talk about our first meeting, it's been eight years now..."

Under the moonlight, Ying Zheng's smile seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making it look a bit ethereal.

"It's been eight years, time flies so fast! Over the past eight years, you have been by my side and you are one of the people I trust most."

Ying Zheng rarely showed such expressions or said these emotional words. Wang Jian also understood that after being left out by his biological mother, he felt extremely empty and sensitive inside.

Not getting either father's love or mother's love seems to be a shadow that will never go away in Ying Zheng's heart. In such a night, Ying Zheng always thinks of the times when his mother was gentle and considerate when he was a child. She would hug him and kiss his forehead. When she was sick, she would accompany him all night like other mothers, and they would go shopping together. When you go to the market, buy yourself some delicious food.

When did the relationship between mother and son begin to fade?

Ying Zheng took a sip of tea and tried hard to find proof that his mother loved him, but the more he recalled it, the sadder he felt.

It was probably when her father abandoned her, when she returned to Qin and became the Queen Mother, or when she insisted on taking Shimi back to Qin despite her dissuasion. And... when she poisoned Shimi and drove her to Yongcheng.

In short, the beauty of childhood will never come back, it has disappeared and is nowhere to be found.

Wang Jian looked at the silent Ying Zheng and said nothing, just accompanying him silently.

"Wang Jian..."

Ying Zheng's tired voice came.

He raised his eyes and looked at Wang Jian, smiling bitterly.

"The person I trust most, besides Shimi, is you... You are one of the very few people who have seen me in such a state of desolation. I was in the Zhao Kingdom, I was hunted down when I returned to Qin, I was in great pain after losing Shimi, these... ...You have seen it all. So I trust you and need you. I value you more than Meng Tian..."

Ying Zheng was particularly emotional tonight, and Wang Jian, who was usually as calm as water, couldn't help but be moved by such words.

"Yes! Wei Chen naturally understands! Wei Chen will do his best to protect the emperor!"

Ying Zheng smiled, picked up the teapot and wanted to pour water for Wang Jian, but Wang Jian quickly refused when he saw this.

"Your Majesty! You are the king, my minister, how can I trouble you..."

"Do not worry about it."

Ying Zheng put aside Wang Jian's hand and said with a smile

"Tonight we don't care about kings and ministers, we just talk about friends, how about that?"

Wang Jian was naturally frightened, so he picked up the water Ying Zheng poured for him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Your Majesty... I'm sorry for my blunder, but you miss me?"

His indifferent eyes were filled with warmth. Tonight, Ying Zheng was different from usual. He smiled and responded to Wang Jian's presumptuous questions cordially.

"Of course I did."

He let out a long sigh and said slowly

"I think about her all the time, the child in her belly, and whether she is doing well, whether she is eating well, sleeping well, and whether she is feeling well."

Through the dark night, Ying Zheng wanted to return to Shimi immediately. He felt lonely after leaving her and helpless after being left out by his mother. He hoped that Shimi could be by his side.

"How is the investigation going? Is this Lao Ai full of evil?"

The idle talk was over, and then it was back to serious matters.

"Yes! After Wei Chen arrived in Yongcheng, he sent many people to investigate secretly. The things are exactly the same as what the Chu family woman said!"

Ying Zheng was not surprised, he nodded and said to himself

"I didn't see Lao Ai at today's banquet. Isn't this guy running away?"

After Wang Jian was silent for a moment, he hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter, just say it!"

"Just now... our guards at the palace saw Lao Ai secretly entering the Queen Mother's palace."

Ying Zheng's face sank, knowing it was time to take action!

He got up and wanted to go to the Queen Mother's palace to collect the stolen goods, but was stopped by Wang Jian.

"Your Majesty! Is there anything wrong with going so rashly? Wouldn't it be troublesome if we were to alert the enemy?"

"They dare to act recklessly under my nose, what else should I care about?!"

Ying Zheng's majesty as a king returned.

"Have you found those two evil obstacles?"

"The child has not been seen in the palace. He has probably been smuggled out of the palace and sent to a safe place."

"Catch them back to me! I will punish them myself!!"

Wang Jian is such a smart man. Seeing that Ying Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and was about to clarify this relationship, he quickly issued an order to tell all the armies to be prepared and ready to fight at any time!

Yongcheng, a small city, has long been surrounded by the troops brought by Ying Zheng. How can Lao Ai's private irregular army compare with these genuine troops? These fakes with varying skills and quality are also Before the war started, they actually took action to see who could win the first prize and receive the reward. They didn't meet the enemy, but our own people started fighting first!

After Wang Jian issued the order, he followed Ying Zheng to the Queen Mother's Palace. All the rebels he encountered on the way had been killed! Zhao Lijiang and Lao Ai, who were lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully, never expected that their long-planned rebellion would be defeated one by one in just a moment! It's a no-brainer!

Ying Zheng walked to the entrance of the palace and took Wang Jian's sword. Wang Jian naturally found it inconvenient to enter, so he ordered people to surround the Queen Mother's palace, and Ying Zheng broke in single-handedly!

He walked slowly, but his heart beat rapidly. How could a son in this world come to catch his mother having an affair? It was really embarrassing for Ying Zheng, and even more angry!

He slowly walked into the inner hall and saw the clothes scattered on the floor, and his blood instantly surged!
