A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

The matter is a foregone conclusion. Zhiyu, who is under house arrest, feels that all his efforts have been in vain. How can he stand up now that the new emperor has ascended the throne?

Although Zhiyu was desperate, Zhao Gao had not given up hope yet.

Although he was imprisoned in a small house, Shimi only sent two attendants to guard him, which gave Zhao Gao a good opportunity to escape!

"Queen Mother, aren't you afraid of him escaping by doing this? He is a sinner of the Qin Dynasty."

"Don't be afraid. With Zhao Gao's temperament, he will definitely not be able to swallow this breath. As long as Zhiyu and I are still alive, there is no way he will admit defeat."

Shikiya and Shusui hid in the dark and observed

"Is that why you neglected me on purpose?"

Shikiya nodded and said

"Zhao Gao is a pretentious person and thinks that I don't look down on his ability if I don't monitor him strictly. The more I don't pay attention to him, the more anxious he is to prove it. Just watch. In a short time, Zhao Gao and Zhi Yu will definitely... Will be in touch again.”

Sure enough, not long before the matter subsided, Zhao Gao sneaked out while the Qin Palace was deserted at night and the guards were lax.

He didn't run away, but couldn't swallow this breath. The glory and wealth were right in front of him. The day when he wanted to leave behind his status as a slave and become one person inferior to ten thousand people was finally coming. He only needed one step to succeed. But he was disrupted, how could he be willing to do so! !

Under the cover of night, Zhao Gao ducked into Zhiyu Palace.

"What are you doing here? Now the situation is over and there is no way to reverse it."

Seeing Zhiyu's discouraged look, Zhao Gao quickly encouraged him

"Young Master, the matter is not over yet, there is still room for maneuver! Do you give up so easily?!"

"Room for maneuver? Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, you and I have become prisoners, where is the possibility?!"

Zhiyu glanced at Zhao Gao and said angrily

"I see you've gone crazy!"

He waved his sleeves and issued an eviction order.

"You'd better leave quickly! We will all go to hell together in a few days, so we can relax a bit!"

Seeing that this damn guy couldn't listen to his words, Zhao Gao quickly took out a poison from his belt.

"Tomorrow, you deliberately invite the Queen Mother to have a long talk, use tea instead of wine, confess to her, and trick her into drinking this tea. Within a few moments, she will be poisoned and die! By then... the Queen Mother will still be the new emperor of her children after she dies. What strength do we have to compete with you? Why don't we... use the emperor to control the princes? This world... will eventually fall into your hands, young master!"

Taking advantage of Zhiyu's hesitation, Zhao Gao immediately said

"Tomorrow you order someone to bring tea, and then you secretly poison the tea."

Zhiyu took the poison with a confused look on his face

"What if the queen mother asks me to drink? Will I die with her?"

"How can I let you die together!"

Zhao Gao took out another pill from his belt

"This is the antidote. Just take it tomorrow!"

He looked at the young master's distracted look, then squeezed his hand and warned him again.

"Success or failure depends on tomorrow! Tomorrow is the last chance for you and me to make a comeback. If we don't seize it, I'm afraid we won't be able to succeed in this life!"

Either way, it's death, so Zhiyu naturally holds on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that this final plan can turn defeat into victory!

Shimi went happily at the invitation.

The mother and son sat in front of the table without saying a word. Their relationship could no longer return to the past. The relationship between mother and son had long since ceased to exist.

The room was quiet, Zhiyu sat in front of him without saying anything, looking at his uneasy eyes, Shiya asked

"You have never mentioned your biological mother. In fact, you have known that I am not your biological mother since you were a child, right?"

"Yes……"

Answer calmly

"I know you are not my biological mother, but I don't dare to ask, for fear that the result I will get is not what I want. Besides... besides my father, you are the only person I can rely on in this Qin Palace."

Shikiya smiled as he watched Yu make tea, and slowly mentioned the memories that had long been buried in the dust.

"You heard people talk a little bit about your biological mother's past, and you probably think I got rid of your biological mother just to win favor, right?"

Zhiyu's silence confirmed his question.

"Your mother is very similar to me, or... she is me, and I am her... However, she is not as lucky as me. She met someone like your father who can love me for the rest of her life. She lived a miserable life. , was exploited and persecuted by others. She entered the Qin Palace out of revenge..."

Shimiya's words seemed to fail to resonate with Zhiyu. She told Li Xi's life story lightly, but Zhiyu's unreasonable nervousness was too conspicuous.

"What are you afraid of?"

These words frightened him, and he quickly objected.

"No, no... I've just never heard of my biological mother's deeds, so I was a little shocked."

He placed a cup of tea in front of Shikiya.

Shimi shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"She has never loved the late emperor, so how can she compete for his favor? If she could let go of her hatred at that time, perhaps the situation would not be like this today."

"Aren't you afraid that she will take away your favor?"

Zhiyu asked.

Shikiya picked up the tea cup and said with a smile

"Why should I be afraid? As long as the late Emperor is here in Qin Palace, I will always be unique. I have never thought about competing with her for favor."

Shikiya looked at the scenery outside the window and seemed to be reminiscing about something. Then, she smiled and said

"You always hate me for not letting you get close to the ministers and stay away from state affairs. You think I am worried that you will snatch Fusu's throne. In fact... I am worried that you can't distinguish right from wrong and will be used by villains to offend the late emperor. This court Matters of the country and the state always have too complicated relationships and handling methods. Regardless of the hard work, you may not be able to get a satisfactory result in the end. I don’t want you to get involved in such disputes and worries. Plain and simple Wouldn’t it be nice to be the king of a fiefdom and live a stable life under Fusu’s protection?”

Shimi's words could not touch Zhiyu at this time. He had been blinded by power. Under Zhao Gao's repeated instigation, he could no longer look back.

"Mother..."

A few tears squeezed out of Zhiyu's eyes.

"My son, I know that I have made a huge mistake in my life. You can't forgive me because I... told Fusu and Yixin to die in vain. Even if you forgive me, I can't forgive myself."

As he spoke, he sobbed a few times

"I know that my sins are serious, and I am ready to die. But... my mother has taught me for many years, and now I am about to die. I wonder... can my mother let my son serve tea instead of wine to apologize to you? ? I don’t ask for your forgiveness, I just ask my mother to drink the apology wine of my generation, so that my son can feel at ease after his death."

"Do you really want me to drink?"

Shikiya picked up the wine glass and asked

Zhiyu only hesitated for a moment, nodded and said

"Yes……"

Shiya looked at the tea in the cup, a layer of mist flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and said

"Well……"

They both raised their glasses at the same time and drank it all.
