A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Wang Jian and Shi Yi returned to Qin, and both of them were determined to plead guilty to Ying Zheng and Shi Mi. This time Wang Jian was defeated and Shi Yi left the palace privately. No matter how much Yingzheng and Shimi treat them as friends, they will never treat them lightly.

When the two of them approached Xianyang Palace, Wang Jian asked again:

"If the Queen really wants to punish you, don't quibble or be unconvinced. Do you understand? She does treat you as close as a friend, but this time you left the palace privately and made a mistake first. If she doesn't punish you, she will It is difficult to explain to the monarch, and it is even more difficult to warn other palace residents. If this bad precedent is set, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public in the future..."

Wang Jian was calm and did not feel panic in the face of Ying Zheng's upcoming punishment. As a man, if he had to die to apologize, then he would accept it! In his heart, he has always admired and respected Ying Zheng, and he also understood that he was a wise king. However, this time he shouldered the great responsibility of leading the army but did not achieve the results he wanted, and he was afraid that he would be disappointed...

"What about you? If the king punishes you, it will only reduce your official position. If you are thrown into prison and sentenced to death, what will you do?"

He patted Shi Yi's shoulder and comforted him again

"If that's the case...I'll admit it. If that's the case...you must not add fuel to the fire for me, do you understand?"

As they talked, the two entered the palace. Before Shi Yi entered the palace, news came back that she had returned with Wang Jian. Naturally, this matter could not be kept low-key, and everyone in the Qin Palace knew about it!

One went to the main hall to meet the king, and the other naturally went to the back hall to admit his mistake.

Wang Jian was different from the high-spirited energy he had when he first set out for the battle. Although he was not depressed, his expression was definitely more solemn. He has always felt that he is strategizing and has the confidence to control the overall situation, but now Li Mu appears and gives him a taste of failure for the first time. It has indeed taught him a profound lesson!

"You are finally back..."

Ying Zheng was sitting on the throne and saw an old friend whom he had not seen for several months. He was wearing armor and was serious in speech. After seeing Ying Zheng, he immediately saluted and responded.

"Wei Chen has let your Majesty down... Wei Chen is willing to be punished!"

Ying Zheng knew that he was injured and had lost his fortune. In the past, he had always felt that Wang Jian was his most powerful helper because he was secretive. He also knew that the Qin State would definitely need his help if he wanted to unify the world. Until now, he had not been defeated. Change that thought!

"I heard you were injured?"

Ying Zheng signaled that he didn't need to be polite, and his tone didn't sound like he was angry, but rather like a normal friend.

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable, and then replied

"Wei Chen was unfavorable in sending troops this time. He was ambushed by Li Mu and was injured. He did not meet your Majesty's expectations. He really deserves death!"

Ying Zheng did not respond immediately, but slowly walked down from the throne, walked to Wang Jian, and said

"How can you count it as a defeat when you captured several cities in Zhao during this expedition?"

"But... isn't the result your Majesty wants to have all the land of Zhao?"

"Yes, I do want to destroy the Zhao State. But victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. This time, the Zhao State called even Li Mu back from Yanmen and gathered their strongest legions to fight against your attack. This also shows that your Your military ability is indeed not bad, but you met a veteran like Li Mu, and Gu expected that you would have a hard time fighting. If Gu punished you because you failed once, who would dare to sacrifice their lives for Gu in the future?! Wouldn't it allow others to fight? Is the general feeling cold?"

Ying Zheng patted Wang Jian on the shoulder and said seriously

"Gu regards you as his right-hand man, and even more so as a friend. Although your expedition this time did not achieve the results I wanted, it was a great achievement to win several cities in the Zhao Kingdom. How can I punish you..."

Looking at his serious face, Wang Jian looked very tired from leading the army all the way, and Ying Zheng just said lightly

"You can go back to your home and rest for a few days before coming back to the palace to serve you..."

There was no punishment, not even a harsh word. Wang Jian couldn't believe it. He always thought that what Ying Zheng cared about most was power and victory, but he didn't expect that he seemed very calm this time.

"Your Majesty...won't you let me lead the troops next time?"

"How could that happen!"

Ying Zheng laughed twice, patted Wang Jian on the shoulder and responded.

"You are one of the few people around Gu who can be completely trusted! Gu and I have known each other since we were twelve years old. Gu knows best what kind of person you, Wang Jian, are! How could I not reuse you! Today you have not destroyed the Zhao Kingdom because of Li Mu , and also made Gu understand more that if there is Li Mu in Zhao country, it will be difficult to implement the plan to destroy Zhao... Gu has already made the next plan, you can rest assured... Next time, Gu will still let you lead the army!"

Shi Yi didn't have any psychological pressure. She thought Shimi regarded her as a friend. Although he knew how to punish her, he only did it for others to see. At most, he only complained a few words. She entered the dormitory happily without any burden.

I haven't been back for a month, so there hasn't been any change here. But as soon as I walked in, I saw Shimiya sitting in front of the desk with a dark face and an angry look.

"You guys step back first..."

How can Shimiya be in a good mood? This daring guy even left the palace without permission, and even went to dangerous areas to find his lover, which made Shimiya furious.

"Empress... I haven't seen you for a long time..."

She was left alone in the palace. Shi Yi was not aware of the tense atmosphere in the harem and saluted Shimiya with a smile on his face.

"Shi Yi is back safely..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shimiya stood up and slapped the table, asking angrily in an icy tone.

"You are so brave! You left the palace without my permission! This time, Wang Yi protected you for most of your life. If he hadn't been with you all the way, would you have been able to find Wang Jian?!"

It turned out that although she was in the palace, Wang Yi had written to tell her everything she encountered along the way.

"Not only did you leave the palace without authorization, you also dared to use my orders as an excuse! You even went to the front line to disturb the morale of the troops. You... what crime should you deserve?!"

This was the first time Shi Yi saw her getting so angry at him. For a moment, Shi Yi didn't react, but he still said with a stiff smile.

"But...but I came back safely and didn't cause anyone any trouble. Do you, do you really want to punish me?"

"It's hard to convince the public if you don't punish you! Do you know how much trouble your sneaking away will bring to the people around you? How many troops have been mobilized by the Qin Palace to capture you because of you! If I hadn't quickly called Li Yingzheng I went out of the palace to look for Xin, but if I let Ying Zheng give the order to capture you, you would definitely die!!"

Shimi was so angry that she became even more angry when she saw Shi Yi's confused expression. She obviously didn't know how big of a mistake she had made.

Shi Yi was stunned for a moment, then asked with a sneer.

"Shimiya...you are looking more and more strange now. You are obviously not from this era, but you are living a more comfortable life than people of this era. Now that you have been the queen of Qin for several years, have you forgotten your true identity?" What era did you live in? Now you look like you want to deal with me strictly, you really have lived in that non-feudal era in vain..."
