A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 572 Internal and external cooperation

"Lord Xiangguo, the Queen has invited you!"

Li Xin came to "invite", but he came with troops. Seeing this battle, Li Si was afraid that his plan would be revealed. Although he was frightened, he still pretended to be calm and knew he cared about the emperor!

"The imperial doctor just came to see how your majesty is now? Is he awake?"

"You're not awake yet, I would like to ask you to go over and talk in detail."

Li Xin's serious smile added a touch of tension to the current atmosphere. Li Si followed the soldiers to the bedroom. The Queen had been waiting for a long time!

The crisis suddenly came! Shimi was caught off guard. She watched Li Si enter the palace. Instead of asking questions in a hurry, she asked him to wait in the palace while she took Li Xin to the side hall.

There must be some unknown conspiracy here.

"Li Xin, you immediately dispatch 50,000 troops to the border to welcome the prince back to the palace. Remember... no matter what orders or orders you encounter on the way, you must not obey them!"

Shimi handed the tiger talisman to Li Xin

"Remember! You and Meng Tian must protect the prince personally! Don't let him make any mistakes!"

"My lady..."

Li Xin took the tiger talisman and asked urgently

"His Majesty suffered a serious illness today. Was it deliberately planned?"

Shikiya nodded, his expression solemn.

"I'm afraid that if I help Su return to the palace... the Qin Kingdom will change..."

"Then if I leave your Majesty, wouldn't I put my Majesty in danger? This..."

"I don't trust others, I only trust you! Only when you go there with my tiger talisman can I feel at ease! In addition..."

Shikiya ponders for a moment

"You have a hundred thousand troops on standby outside Xianyang City. If there is any abnormal noise in the Qin Palace, you will order them to enter Xianyang City!"

Li Xin took the tiger talisman and didn't dare to slack off, and went straight to the palace gate!

It was extremely painful for Li Si to wait alone in the palace. He had realized that he would not be able to leave the palace today and would probably be detained by the queen! Just as Zhao Gao expected, the queen is a very difficult person with quick thinking. Today, the emperor suddenly vomited blood and she could still think of holding her captive! Fortunately, Zhao Gao and the others had already predicted today's situation, and Zhao Gao personally went to the border with the forged imperial edict a few days ago.

The content of the imperial edict was nothing more than that the emperor was extremely disappointed with the prince and ordered him to commit suicide on the spot without returning to Xianyang. There are forged jade seals and the seal of the Prime Minister on it. Li Si naturally understood that this was a dangerous move. If Fusu had any sense to analyze the authenticity of this imperial edict, all his previous efforts would be wasted!

But this bet is about Fusu's unconditional obedience to Ying Zheng! Ying Zheng is not only Fusu's father, but also the relationship between monarch and minister. If the king wants his minister to die, he must die. Maybe when Fusu saw Ying Zheng personally issuing an edict for his death, he might be so sad that he committed suicide without much thought!

Li Si fell into a tense and thrilling conspiracy. Just thinking about it made him break into a cold sweat.

"Lord Xiangguo..."

Shimi's voice suddenly sounded from behind, startling him.

"Queen...Queen's Empress..."

The calm Li Si showed a bit of panic at this moment, and everyone called Shimi saw it.

Shimiya did not look as friendly as before, nor did he ask Li Si to sit down. Instead, he slowly passed by him. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Li Si hurriedly lowered his head and stopped looking at her.

"I heard a battle report from the front line today. What kind of news was it that caused His Majesty to vomit blood after hearing it?"

Shimi sat down slowly. She raised her eyes and looked at Li Si. When Li Si looked at the queen again, she found that the expression on her face was a bit like the emperor's, with that unsmiling expression, sinister eyes, and constant gazes. Analyzing and looking at herself, she found that her panic and guilty conscience were firmly grasped by her. If she showed any unnaturalness, this great matter of stealing the country would definitely be exposed!

"Yes... the front line said that the prince was injured while attacking the Huns."

"Injured? Just being injured makes His Majesty so anxious that he vomits blood?"

Shikiya sneered.

"Lord Xiangguo, are you serious about this?"

"Yes……"

Li Si took out the battle report that had been prepared long ago and presented it. Shimi opened it and looked at it. It did say that the prince was injured, but the injury was not serious. It was just that the Hun's bow and arrow penetrated his left arm. It was not life-threatening.

Shimi took the wooden slip and looked at it from left to right, as if he still didn't believe it.

At this time, Li Si was really miserable. He looked at the queen eagerly, expecting her to quickly say, "In this case, you should go back and wait for the news!"

But such words have not been spoken for a long time, and Li Si's defense is crumbling little by little. This is the first time he has used tactics against the emperor, and it will definitely make him feel guilty.

"His Majesty fell ill again today, and the situation has not turned around yet. Mr. Xiangguo will stay in the palace today. If there is anything, I can discuss it with you."

Li Si hesitated for a moment and then immediately thanked him.

Everything is still unclear. Shimiya ordered that no one in the palace should leave the palace without authorization and sealed off the entire palace. The conspiracy seemed to be spreading from the palace, and she had to catch the culprit as soon as possible.

Shimi returned to the dormitory and saw that Ying Zheng's eyes were closed but he kept talking in sleep, as if he had suffered a huge blow.

"Ying Zheng... Ying Zheng... it's me..."

Shimi held Ying Zheng's hand and kept calling him.

"Fusu..."

Ying Zheng was in pain and uneasiness, shouting in a hoarse voice in a daze.

"I asked to see Fusu...I want to see him..."

"Ying Zheng... Fusu is coming back soon, he is coming back soon! You must hold on!"

Shimiya kept comforting her, but she couldn't stop her tears. She seemed to have had a premonition that this time it would be a separation of life and death.

"Zhu Cui! Zhu Cui!"

Shikiya shouted outside the room.

Zhucui wiped away her tears and hurried into the house.

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

"Send someone to call Yi Xin into the palace. Go quickly! When you call Yihua, tell her that her father wants to see her. Go quickly!"

Just when Zhucui was about to take steps to invite someone, Shimi called her again.

She hesitated whether to call Shang Zhiyu. After all, they were father and son. Even if Ying Zheng didn't like him, he would still be a little concerned about him when he was dying.

"You invite the young master here..."

She said calmly.

A group of people went to invite people in a panic. Chu Yueqing went to invite Yihua, and then went to look for Zhiyu. When they arrived at Zhiyu's palace, they found that the house was empty and there was no one.

"Where's the young master?!"

she asked the eunuch guarding the palace.

The eunuch hesitated and couldn't explain anything.

Seeing that he seemed to be deliberately concealing it, Chu Yueqing did not delay any longer.

"When the young master comes back, ask him to go to the queen's bedroom. Remember! Don't delay!!"

A group of people hurried back to the queen's bedroom. When passing by a rockery, Chu Yueqing noticed something strange.

Behind the rockery, someone seemed to be whispering.

She asked the other palace attendants to wait at a distance. When she got closer, she heard that it was the young master who was whispering.
