Shimi remembered that Ying Zheng once said that although Li Si was a cunning man, he doted on his wife very much. Ying Zheng had offered to send his beauty to accompany him several times, but he always refused.

A woman who is loved is naturally radiant and calm.

"Xiangguo, have you been feeling better these days?"

Ying Zheng was very gentle today, and Li Si was a little at a loss!

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am just suffering from a minor illness, but it is really inappropriate for Your Majesty to bother to go to me in person."

"Hey, Prime Minister, you're too polite. Now that Da Qin can be what it is today, Prime Minister should take credit for it! You are Da Qin's benefactor, so there's nothing wrong with me personally visiting you!"

How could Li Si believe that such flesh-and-blood words came from the mouth of an emperor!

He sighed, smiled and shook his head.

"It's also because Wei Chen is old and timid. He was frightened and sick by a few nonsense words! If you tell me...it's really a joke."

After enjoying the exquisite music and delicacies, Ying Zheng and Li Si went to the study alone, while Shimi went to the back garden with Mrs. Li to enjoy the scenery.

Everyone cheered and followed Shimi to the back garden. Mrs. Li was a little nervous along the way. She didn't know what to say and was afraid that she would say the wrong thing. She was trembling and very nervous along the way.

"Madam, you don't have to be so nervous. We are just here to visit the Prime Minister today and have nothing else to do."

Mrs. Li was murmuring in her heart when she saw that the queen looked very young and even had the appearance of a pretty girl!

It was said in the past that the queen was three years older than the emperor, and I thought she would be a dignified and elegant woman. How could I expect that she was so young and could not tell that she was the mother of three children?

This popular saying among the people says that the queen can stay young forever and live forever. Is it true?

"What are you looking at, madam?"

Shimiya saw her staring at him, stunned.

"I see that Madam seems to have something on her mind."

"No! It's not..."

Only then did Mrs. Li come to her senses and realized that she had been rude.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. When I saw your Majesty's fresh and beautiful appearance, with a face as young as a girl's, I was really impressed by your beauty. I am so envious of you."

"Being forever young is not necessarily a good thing. I always feel like time has abandoned me."

Shimi took a sip of tea and looked at the luxuriant plants in the garden. Some rare flower species and trees were planted. The garden design was very elegant and beautiful, even better than the garden of Qin Palace!

"What a beautiful garden. Did Madam take care of it herself?"

"Yes, I usually like to prune flowers and plants when I have nothing to do. My husband knows that I love these things, so he asked people to find strange flowers and plants for me in various places for my entertainment."

When Mrs. Li mentioned Li Si, her eyes were still full of love, but she was filled with sorrow.

"Your Majesty... Do you know that people who practice various kinds of magic are popular in the city recently?"

"Know a thing or two."

She sighed and complained

"I just think that these people are pretending to be clever and deceitful. They can only say some flattering words to make the people happy. These people, one after another, have coaxed a lot of money from the people."

Shikiya listened quietly, took a cup of tea and took a sip.

Unexpectedly, the tea in Li Si's mansion was better than the tea in the palace! The fragrance of tea overflows, and the fragrance lingers in your mouth for a long time. It seems that Li Si, an old fox, usually accepts a lot of bribes.

She looked at Mrs. Li talking and sipping tea. This fine tribute tea seemed to have no taste in her mouth. She didn't feel surprised when she drank it. I'm afraid she was used to it!

"Is this related to Xiang Guo's illness?"

"How come it doesn't matter!"

Mrs. Li frowned and sighed softly.

"I have long advised my husband not to believe in the words of these strange powers and gods. How can there be ghosts and gods under this sky? If there were gods, why didn't they save the people from fire and water in the past? But... my husband just doesn't believe it, so why not? I asked people to go around and find out if there are any enlightened people in the deep mountains and forests. No, I met an old man some time ago. When the old man opened his mouth, my husband was so frightened that his face turned pale and he almost fell to the ground."

"What kind of old man can scare even the well-informed Prime Minister?"

"He looked a bit like an immortal, but when he opened his mouth, he actually said that my husband would be in trouble as he approached his old age and died from being cut in half!"

After saying that, Mrs. Li shuddered.

"He said such vicious words were not enough. He also said that if the husband does not change, he will definitely bring disaster to the whole family! The concubine sounded really scared and annoyed, and kicked him out before he could finish his words! After meeting that man, my husband fell ill because of overthinking!"

"How can a person who is loyal to the country and the emperor be reduced to the point of being cut in half? It is really ridiculous."

Although Shimiya's words were comforting, to Mrs. Li's ears, they sounded more meaningful and meaningful.

"Mother...what do you mean by this?"

She was startled and asked hurriedly

"Could it be that Your Majesty is suspicious of my husband's double-mindedness and wants to get rid of it? My husband is so loyal, how could he..."

"Madam, don't panic."

Shikiya comforted him

"I have no other intention in saying this. Your Majesty also knows that the Prime Minister's loyalty is without exception. Speaking of which... Da Qin can only have a few days, and the Prime Minister has made great contributions, so how can it be eliminated."

She smiled and looked at Mrs. Li

"My intention is to hope that the Prime Minister will always be loyal to His Majesty."

"forever?"

Mrs. Li thought for a moment and then said

"Of course I will follow His Majesty to the death."

"Yes, that's what it means."

Shikiya nodded and smiled.

"Until the moment of death, there must be no second thoughts. No matter when, where or under what circumstances, if he can remain loyal forever, I will be able to protect him from being cut in half to death! "

At the other end of the study room, Li Si was tilting his head and looking exhausted, waiting to give up.

The emperor's sudden arrival with great fanfare was either a happy event or a disaster. It was definitely not just a visit to see the sick. At this time, Li Si was already prepared to die heroically.

"Did you also meet an old god a few days ago? Wearing a white robe?"

"Yes!"

Li Si nodded

"Wei Chen only thinks that the old man is not an ordinary person, and his conversation and speech are extraordinary, so he wants to introduce him to Your Majesty. The old man...has he offended Your Majesty?"

Li Si's heart trembled.

Look, look! Sure enough, there was something wrong with that damn old man. I had been told many times to say good things in front of the emperor, but I was afraid that he might have said some words of genocide, which would have affected me!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... No matter what the old thief said, Your Majesty must not take it to heart! The fake god will definitely send troops to arrest him and cut him into pieces as a warning!"

"No need!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand

"If you don't believe what he says, how can you be frightened and get sick? I'm afraid the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention! To you and me... it's all..."

After that, Yingzheng said to Li Si according to Shimi's instructions.

"You don't have to worry about other people's words, and you don't have to worry about ending up with your body intact, Li Si... If you can be loyal to me from life to life and to death, I will definitely be able to ensure that you enjoy wealth and status forever. The life of your family. And you... will definitely not die miserably!"
