It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

When Xu Zhi saw Huaiqing, the sky and the earth were completely white.

Huaiqing's eyebrows and eyes still have the same look as before.Wearing a dark blue dress, with flying silver threads woven with a white crane printed on the bottom, she looked up at her neck.

The first thing that caught Xu Zhi's attention was the dark iron dagger at her waist. It was made of gold and had a gilt iron handle. How could a dagger with such regulations be owned by a common merchant?

Ying Zheng gave her the blade that day because she wanted to attack Zhang Liang.

The thing on her waist must have come from the Qin royal family, otherwise why would she deliberately let herself see it?

Xu Zhi couldn't help but feel that the concerns of Li Xian and Zhang Liang were indeed reasonable. Before she could return to Xianyang to spend March safely, the forces of competition had already begun to penetrate.

When Huaiqing saw A Zhi and Li Xian following Xu Zhi, she knew that all the conversations today would involve a lot of things in the court affairs, and the dagger on her waist specially given to her by the person behind Xianyang was to She knew that their conversation could not pass beyond his eyes.

Huaiqing was famous for her name Ying Hehua, and thought she was very arrogant and extravagant.

She saw that the little princess's clothes were simple and elegant, and her crimson dress looked somewhat smart.

After seeing the ceremony, Huaiqing nodded and said, "Mr. Huaiqing, a citizen woman, congratulates Princess Yong'an."

Xu Zhi never knew that Huaiqing was also a smart person, and those who wanted to do business would probably have a very flexible mind. She felt that Li Xian's journey was not a bad thing.

"Where can I say congratulations?"

Huaiqing smiled and said: "It is rare in the Qin Dynasty to grant a title beyond one's rank. The princess has not yet reached the hairpin level, so she is a blessing in disguise, so why not consider her congratulations?"

Her voice was soft but slightly sharp.

Xu Zhi had taken Li Xian behind him, so there was no point in doing Tai Chi. He said bluntly: "I went through all the trouble to meet you, and I also ask you to discuss it together."

"I have heard the name of the princess, but now I see the princess and realize that all those things are vain. The princess is the happiest in her life when she speaks the truth. I will be honest with you."

The moment Xu Zhi stepped into the house, she knew that someone had deliberately taken the wrong path.

Although the room is narrow, fortunately there is a fine charcoal fire, making it comfortable and warm.

Xu Zhi agreed with Li Xian to remain friendly for the time being before going to the bungalow.

——"Since Huaiqing wants to find another good place to live, and you want to use her, you should be alienated from me."

"If I abandon the old ministers because I use new ones, she may not be wary of me."

——Li Xian smiled and said, "In this case, the princess is not overly fond of the new and dislikes the old."

Xu Zhi looked into his eyes and said, "No matter what, Han Zhao Zhitu, you are my savior. It is not good if you are alienated."

——"The princess is accustomed to using hard-to-get tactics, which is easy to use against anyone."

Xu Zhi said in his own tone: "Anyone can be used by me. Isn't this what you told me in Meiyuan?"

——"Princess really has a good memory." Li Xian heard her repeat his words without thinking, even though she used them to refute him, but he felt a little better for no reason.

at the moment

Li Xian stood very close to her, and she took the hot water he handed her.

Not long after he sat down, Xu Zhi turned his head and said, "Azhi, it's cold. I still feel a little cold. Go and tell the guards to chop some firewood and light some fire outside."

"The princess is so kind to her personal guards, and she must be even more so to others."

Xu Zhi's ability to see into people's hearts was greatly amplified in ancient times. Perhaps they were all names in books, so they were particularly sensitive.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Most of the money I made in Handan came from you. Since you came here to meet me, you have already prepared a big gift. Why do you say that you are someone else?"

Huaiqing only thought that she was talkative, but he didn't expect that she was so good at talking, and what she said and did didn't have the airs of a royal family.

Huaiqing knew that she could not give Ying Hehua any help in the government, and she would never become alienated from Li Xian because of her. Inviting him to talk to her without hesitation showed her sincerity.

The next words were mentioned intentionally by Huaiqing.

"The way to benefit the people with the cinnabar industry is to entrust the princess. The princess wants to complete the fabric, but only waits for time. But during the triumphal banquet and New Year's Eve, the eldest princess of Liyang, Ying Yuanman, will return to Xianyang. Different from the eldest son. , the eldest princess and you are not born from the same mother, so she may be a threat to you."

"Whether Sister Wang is a threat to me, we won't know until we arrive in Xianyang a few days later." Xu Zhi put down the cup, "It's you, it doesn't make you want to plead for Sister Wang."

Huaiqing only thought she was smart, but he didn't expect her to be so smart. She could guess all her twists and turns.

She took off the short knife from her waist and took a sip of tea calmly.

Huaiqing glanced at Li Xian.

Li Xian nodded to Xu Zhi, "If the princess has something to say, I should retreat." Then he stood up with his sword pressed.

Xu Zhi originally wanted to stop him, but after a second thought, she gave up the idea and nodded to him, "Thank you."

"The duty of a minister."

Looking at his back, Xu Zhi couldn't help but think that it would be great if Li Xian could always be so obedient.

The door closes again.

Xu Zhi thought about Jing Ke he met today, and also thought about Li Si going up the mountain.She picked up the blade from the case and said, "This blade belongs to the royal family. Do you carry the order from my father, or Lord Changping?"

"None of them." Huaiqing's expression fell into a memory, "Yuanman's mother has an old friendship with me. She is not the daughter of the king, but the daughter of Lord Chang'an."

Chang'an Jun Ying Chengyu... Ying Zheng's younger brother.In the eighth year of the Qin Dynasty, Cheng Xi rebelled during Qin's attack on Zhao and committed suicide in Tunliu.

"I have heard about this Uncle Wang. It's just that he committed suicide in Tunliu ten years ago." Xu Zhi took a sip of water and elaborated on the hypothesis of the research, "Uncle Wang's rebellion came out of nowhere. At that time, he had already left his remaining soldiers and returned. To attack the father of King Qin is tantamount to death."

"It's true. There is indeed an inside story about Lord Chang'an's rebellion." Huai Qing stared.

Regarding "The Chronicles of the Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", Xu Zhi understood better why Ying Zheng wanted to kill him, saying that he was not the son of Ying Yiren, but the son of Lu Buwei. This is where his remarks came from.

"But the fact is that Uncle Wang spread rumors and ridiculed my father. If so, what's the point of dying?"

"Where did the princess hear this?"

"I often ask the teacher."

"Zhang Liang knows a lot about the affairs of other countries, maybe not very deeply. Does the princess know this? Your Highness has never believed it."

"What evidence is there?"

Huaiqing pulled out the short blade and placed it on the case. The cold light seemed to be frozen in the cold air, and there were faint dark lines through the firelight.

"Princess, please read the inscription on the front."

Xu Zhi picked up the handle of the knife. The silver-white blade showed its age.

Qin's seal engraving said: "There is no unreasonable disaster that started on my own. I am ashamed of my brother Wang, and I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty. I can only use blood as a sacrifice."

Only to hear Huaiqing continue: "That day, it was Zhao Renxing who instigated the people beside His Highness to conceal the reality of the Zhao army during the war, causing His Highness to enter and exit the army rashly. In the end, he was in a dilemma and forced His Highness to commit suicide."

"There are Lu Xiangbang and the Empress Dowager Huayang in the court. Lu Xiangbang will not cause trouble for his own genocide. According to you, the rumors are spread by the Empress Dowager Huayang."

Huaiqing continued, "Maybe it's like what the princess said."

Xu Zhi sheathed the knife. She still didn't understand why Huaiqing told her this.

She pretended to be angry and said: "Aren't you deliberately holding the death of Lord Chang'an behind my back by what you said? The Queen Mother Huayang is my great-grandmother, and my mother-in-law is the princess of Chu. You want me to abandon the Chu family for this matter?" Will you reverse the case for Lord Changan?!"

Huaiqing did not expect Ying Hehua's attitude. She had clearly investigated the Changping Army and was now making things difficult for him and his mother and concubine. Logically speaking, she did not have so much affection for the Chu family.

"Princess Yong'an..."

Xu Zhi's tone was a bit colder, "You just need to tell me bluntly, apart from the benefits of cinnabar, what do you mean by coming to see me? If you don't tell the truth, I will return to Xianyang and tell Lord Changping. "

Huaiqing came here to ask for something. Even though she knew that Changping Jun had a quarrel with Yun Hehuaduo, this statement was just to force her to accuse the truth. In this way, Ying Hehua was not pure and kind, nor was he cruel, so he appreciated her a little more.

"Although the princess is young, she is resourceful and you are very fond of her. The eldest princess is in Yongcheng, and she does not know what is going on in the palace. It is difficult to distinguish people's hearts among the palace curtains. I also ask the princess to forgive her for the knot in her heart and give her some advice. two."

Huaiqing closed his hands and bowed, "In the future, if the princess has entrustment, she should cooperate with her full strength."

"It seems that your relationship with the eldest princess is not an ordinary one. This is probably the reason why you voluntarily came to Xianyang to live for so long."

"It's nothing more than being entrusted by others and being loyal to their duties. Today I tell the princess that it's a spoiled thing. In the future, the princess will know the truth and falsehoods in her actions, and she will definitely gain something. I hope the princess will fulfill her duties."

Xu Zhi looked at her, "Please don't forget what you said today. After all, in Xianyang Palace, she is still the eldest daughter of the father and the king in the eyes of everyone."

He knew she was threatening, but her consent was more important.Huaiqing did not ask Ying Hehua to protect Ying Yuanman, but he asked Neng Yuanman not to anger her.

"Your princess."

Xu Zhi thought that Ying Zheng might have known that Ying Yuanyuan was Ying Chengyu's daughter.

Maybe Ying Zheng knew the truth. He cared about his brother Wang's bloodline, spared her life, and sent her to Yongcheng to protect her.

Maybe he didn't know the so-called truth because Ying Chengyu betrayed him. Every time he saw this niece, he couldn't bear the thought of the past, so he sent her to Yongcheng, where it was best not to see her.

When Xu Zhi came out of the house, he already had a scroll in his hand.

But Li Xian is no longer outside the door.

"Princess, Inspector Li said that his father had given him time to go back on time without disturbing her. I hope the princess will be careful when she returns to the palace."

"Alright."

Xu Zhi also saved his time to explain to Li Xian what Huaiqing said when he asked him to avoid it.
