A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"There is no need for me to inquire. I have seen you discussing the plan to attack Zhao with the ministers in the main hall all day long. You were in a good mood at first, but you have been depressed these past few days. I know that there is something wrong with the war ahead."

Ying Zheng drank the wine, shook his head and sighed.

"I thought I could wipe out the Zhao Kingdom in one fell swoop this time to avenge the past, but why did they get a chance to breathe again?! Could it be that the Zhao Kingdom... is not yet at the point of subjugation?"

Shimi saw that Ying Zheng had not smiled since he had just walked in. His face was clouded, and he wanted to try to comfort him, but no words could soothe Ying Zheng's heart that was ready to annex the world.

"Haste makes waste, and doing some things too hastily can be counterproductive. If we had worked hard with Lian Po and defeated the Zhao State step by step, the situation might have been easier than it is now."

Ying Zheng laughed mockingly and asked again

"Then why didn't you say anything when Li Si suggested replacing Lian Po?"

"How can I have anything to say about attacking Zhao? If I had said it in the first place, I'm afraid you would be suspicious again! I might as well shut up!"

Shimi curled his lips and lost his appetite looking at the table full of dishes, so he had to ask Ying Zheng tentatively.

"How is Wang Jian now? Is he alive or dead?"

"He brought an army with the intention of raiding Zhao's fortress, but he didn't expect that Li Mu's army came and attacked from east to west. Now he is trapped at the valley pass. The valley is long and narrow, making it difficult to move forward. Reinforcements cannot come in. Zhao's army is probably Having controlled all the entrances and exits of the fortress, now...Wang Jian is afraid that he will be caught in a trap..."

The more Ying Zheng talked, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said

"If Wang Jian were to fight here, how could the Qin army contend with Zhao?!"

After nightfall, the entire Qin Palace returned to tranquility, and the nervous and restless atmosphere during the day seemed to have completely dissipated. Those annoying state affairs and the fierce war between the two countries seemed to be shrouded in darkness, with only the candlelight of the spiritual star under the sky. Swinging in the wind in the darkness. It seems peaceful.

Tonight, Ying Zheng was destined to have a restless sleep. He tossed and turned, feeling panicked. Looking at Shimiya who was sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed, he always had something he wanted to say but was afraid of her getting angry. For this reason... he would either turn over or sigh, waking up Shimiya who finally fell asleep.

"Can't you sleep? Are you still worried about Wang Jian?"

Shikiya saw him staring at the dome in a daze.

"Shimiya... I have something to ask you, how about you just treat me as nonsense and don't take it seriously?"

As soon as Ying Zheng opened his mouth, Shimi knew what he was going to say.

"you say……"

The tone was obviously displeased, but Ying Zheng, who was distracted at the moment, didn't even notice.

"Li Mu...do you know about his return from Yanmen?"

"How do I know?"

"Is there... no correspondence?"

"Ying Zheng!!"

Shimiya suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs and sat up straight! This roar was full of anger, and it actually scared Ying Zheng to death!

"You, what are you doing? Why are you yelling?"

Ying Zheng was startled by her, and stood up in panic and looked outside, fearing that the palace servants and maids would be brought in to watch the joke!

"You are so brave, you dare to call the king by his name!"

"Why shouldn't I call my husband by his name?!"

Shimiya is really angry now! She didn't care if the person in front of her was Ying Zheng, she glared at him and scolded him.

"Since the war between Qin and Zhao, you have always been suspicious of me! I have been in Qin for more than ten years but I have never left Qin! I usually abide by my duties and have children with you, but you actually doubt me! You are Don’t you want to ask me... have I exchanged letters with Li Mu? Do you want to ask me that I already knew the news about Li Mu’s return to Handan? Is that right?!”

"I just asked casually, why are you so angry?"

Ying Zheng shook his head and said helplessly

"No, there won't be. Why do you need to get so angry?"

"You don't even give me the most basic trust between husband and wife! When Qin and Zhao went to war, did I say a word? Did I tell you not to attack? When Li Mu returned to the front line to lead the army, did I plead for him? Really? Now that Qin is in a weak situation, you suspect that I am cooperating inside and outside! You...you really chill me!"

As he spoke, Shiya had tears in his eyes and spoke again with a trembling tone.

"It's in vain that I risked life and death to return to you and regarded you as the most important partner in my life. I didn't expect that you would be suspicious of me for more than ten years! If you can't even give me the most basic trust, then this Qin The queen of the country...it doesn’t matter! Give it to whomever you like! If you want me to have contact with Li Mu so much, then just send me back to the Kingdom of Zhao!!"

After saying that, Shimi sobbed. Ying Zheng's words really hurt her heart. She thought she was connected with him, but she didn't expect that the worries of more than ten years have not gone away.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault... I shouldn't ask, I shouldn't ask..."

Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to put his arm around Shimi's shoulders, but she dodged him unexpectedly. Seeing that she was still angry, he said with red eyes

"I'm not feeling well today. I'm going to the side hall to rest. Don't let us both sleep well..."

After that, Shimi got out of bed and before Ying Zheng could pull her, she had already disappeared into the night angrily.

In the seemingly peaceful night, they were not the only ones who didn't sleep a wink. In the room where the maid was resting, Shi Yi also had a wink.

During the day, she eavesdropped on the conversation between Ying Zheng and Shi Mi. Knowing that Wang Jian's life or death was unclear at the moment, how could she sleep peacefully?

After much thought, Shi Yi made a bold decision! Leave Qin Palace and go to the front line to rescue Wang Jian!

Even if you can't save him, it would be nice to die with him!

With this expectation in mind, she simply arranged her greetings, left a letter for Shimiya, and escaped from the Qin Palace overnight!

At dawn the next day, Shimi got up and prepared to wash up, but found that Shi Yi did not show up and only Zhu Cui was alone.

"Why didn't Shi Yi come? Is it possible that you are still sleeping in?"

Shiya looked at himself in the mirror, he hadn't slept all night, and even his eyes were blue.

"Miss Shi Yi has never been late. I don't know what happened today? I'll take a look after I combed my empress's hair."

Shimi nodded, thinking that Shi Yi was late because he couldn't sleep because he was worried about Wang Jian, when a little maid hurried in.

"Queen! What's wrong! Miss Shi Yi... Miss Shi Yi seems to have escaped!"

Seeing that the little maid looked panic-stricken and didn't know what to say, Shimiya was even more confused.

"Escaped? You said she escaped?"

"Yes! My maid went to her house today to look for her, but found that Miss Shi Yi's door was ajar. When she opened the door, she was nowhere to be seen. There was only a letter on the bed. This maid is illiterate, but she always feels uneasy."

When the maid handed the letter to Shikiya, Shikiya realized that something was wrong!

When she opened the letter, she saw it! Sure enough, just as he thought, Shi Yi forged the queen's will and escaped from the palace overnight!

"Shimi, I'm sorry... I can't rest at ease until Wang Jian is safe for a day, so I left without saying goodbye. Please don't worry about me. If you are angry with the king, please punish me when I come back, no matter whether you want to kill me or not." Damn it, I accept it."
