Ying Zheng had been exhausted mentally and physically because of Li Xi's pregnancy in the past few days. His gloomy face was even more frightening these days, but today, for some reason, he changed his gloomy look and pulled Shimi straight to the dormitory.

"What good thing happened to you? What makes you so happy?"

"Come on, sit down quickly and I'll tell you slowly..."

Ying Zheng pulled Shimi to sit down, but he just looked at Shimi and smiled without knowing why.

"what happened?"

Shikiya touched his cheek

"Is there something dirty on my face?"

"No... not..."

Ying Zheng smiled and took a deep breath, feeling relieved, and then he slowly spoke.

"Do you know what good news has come from Yan State in the past few days?"

Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"The State of Yan is afraid of our Qin State's army, is afraid of the prestige of our State of Qin, and is afraid that sooner or later it will annex their State of Yan, so it sent an envoy to sue for peace, saying that he was willing to cede several cities as a sign of friendship, hoping that The State of Qin showed mercy to the State of Yan."

As soon as he said these words, Shimi noticed something strange, and she asked with some alarm.

"Do you know who the envoy to Qin is?"

"who……"

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said

"It seems to be a young man named Jing Ke, and there is an envoy who came with him named...Qin Wuyang."

The famous Jing Ke assassinating King Qin in history really came as promised! When Shimi heard Jing Ke's name, he instinctively objected.

"Does Your Majesty believe that the Yan State sincerely seeks peace? Is there any deception in this? Yan Dan has been at odds with us for a long time, how could he suddenly lower himself to seek peace? In this..."

Yingzheng saw that Shimiya's tone was a little urgent, so he smiled and comforted him.

"I don't believe it either. Putting aside the grievances between me and Yan State, my hatred towards Yan Dan is also irreconcilable. If he just sends an envoy to sue for peace, I will naturally not believe it easily, but they Yan Dan The country even brought the head of Fan Yuqi, the rebel party of the Qin State, with them. I think... this is probably because they sincerely succumbed to the power of the Qin State. The small Yan State did not dare to make mistakes in the first place, but now other countries Being annexed by the Qin State one by one, the Yan State finally knows that it is doomed. If it does not seek peace, will it just watch the country be destroyed?"

Ying Zheng analyzed it logically, and Shi Mi was naturally worried about his safety. It seemed that he was very sure that Yan State was here to seek peace this time. Just when Shi Mi was about to tell Ying Zheng about the matter from beginning to end, he suddenly stopped. He closed his mouth tightly and didn't say a word.

She sat blankly next to Ying Zheng, a storm arose in her mind. At this time, Shimi was extremely hesitant. She clenched her hands tightly, as if she was considering a major matter that made her extremely hesitant.

Of course, Ying Zheng's life and death were important, and Shimi had long understood that Jing Ke was here to take his life, but now... Shimi, who knew what was going on, chose to remain silent. She had a hesitant expression, and Becomes softer in an instant.

"When will we receive them?"

"If we arrive in Xianyang, we will definitely summon him immediately."

At this time, Shimi had a selfish desire, and after Ying Zheng informed him of the matter, he had a plan in mind.

"If Yan State can sincerely seek peace, wouldn't we be able to capture several cities of Yan State without spending a single soldier? Such a good thing is really a once-in-a-lifetime event."

She smiled and catered to Ying Zheng's words, but deep down she began to make plans of her own.

When night fell, Shimi was tossing and turning. She looked at Ying Zheng sleeping next to her and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

If it were in the past, I would not have hesitated for a moment and told Ying Zheng the plan of Yan State to avoid Jing Ke's assassination. But now... she decided to hide the matter for selfish reasons. She was surprised by her own changes, and also felt inexplicable sadness about the relationship between the two.

Shimi didn't mention it a word. First, it was to test whether Ying Zheng loved him as much as before. When faced with the threat of death, could he still risk his life to protect himself? Secondly, it was naturally to test whether Li Xi truly surrendered to Da Qin.

From the beginning to the end, Li Xi never showed any intention of letting go of his hatred and surrendering to Da Qin. Li Xi has never made a clear decision whether to stay or leave, or whether to have children. And Jing Ke's coming to Qin was a very good opportunity. If Li Xi had secret contacts with the Yan State, then she must have known about this plan. Yan Dan would not miss this opportunity, and would probably cooperate with her inside and outside to murder. Ying Zheng!

If...Li Xi has not let go of her hatred and still colludes with Yan Dan, then he will never let her live again!

It is said that there is an inexplicable sympathy between twins. Just like at this moment, when Li Xi looked at Shimi who came to visit, he felt that this visit was not a simple visit, but had a special meaning.

"You've been looking at me like this all morning, what's wrong? Do you want to analyze me thoroughly inside and out?"

Li Xi sat in front of the desk, originally wanting to drink some tea and rest for a while, but Shikiya had no intention of leaving.

"You are about to give birth. I came to see if you are missing anything."

Shimi observed her every word and every move, from her hair to the hem of her skirt. She sat at the table looking calm and composed, scooping up the chicken soup in the stew pot with a spoon, and drank it nonchalantly. Such an ordinary move is rarely graceful.

"There is no shortage of things. There is everything here, but there is no freedom."

She glanced at Shimi, then raised her lips coldly and responded.

Shikiya wasn't angry either, but still said with a smile.

"I will give birth in two months, so I have to walk less outside. It will be bad if I run into trouble."

"Tell me...why are you here today? I have already guessed that your purpose of coming today is not pure, so why hide it anymore?"

The same blood flows in the body, and at this moment it seems that there is a collision in the air. The two of them analyze each other's thoughts and look at each other with a smile.

"It's nothing. I just heard from your Majesty yesterday that the State of Yan is sending envoys to sue for peace, saying that it has ceded several important cities."

After finishing speaking, Shimi raised his eyes and looked at her expression. Li Xi was still as before... drinking chicken soup calmly.

"What are you talking about to me? I don't understand this. What? Yan Dan surrendered?"

"It's not about surrendering. If the situation is head-on, Yan will definitely be defeated by Qin. It would be a wise move to surrender at this moment."

Shimi smiled and called Zhucui in again.

"Now that the weather is getting hotter and you're healthy, it's time to add some new materials to make some comfortable clothes."

Zhucui placed a few pieces of material in front of Li Xi. She didn't even raise her head and didn't care at all.

Seeing that she doesn’t care about these external things, Shimi said with a smile

"Look, I made the right choice in letting you choose to stay. If you leave and return to the Yan Kingdom, you will definitely be regarded as an abandoned son."

The two seemed to be chatting about common matters, but under every word they spoke, they were constantly testing each other.
