It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Li Xiansheng was afraid that if he hesitated for a second longer, he would regret it.

It wasn't until he saw her walking away that he breathed a sigh of relief.

The moonlight is like this, on a clear night, the fog dissipates.

However, Xu Zhi did not return to the palace immediately.

She waited in the flower garden and then left pretending to be frustrated, her skirt was stained with some weeds from the house.

"What happened to Li Xian?"

No one responded.

She chuckled softly, her tone suddenly became colder, and she added a domineering tone, "I don't want to say it a second time, princess."

The secret guard was shocked. In these days, Ying Hehua had never sensed his existence. Why did he suddenly call him out today?

The wind swayed, and the secret guards protecting her appeared in the secluded place of the bamboo forest.

As he walked out, he thought: Princess Yong'an's question was indeed to the point. She already knew that she was chosen by Li Xian.

The one who is chosen takes great pains, and the one who chooses also takes great pains.

But Mr. Li only gave him one order: obey the princess in everything.

Seeing that the secret guard was still silent, Xu Zhi couldn't help but feel a little angry. She had tolerated Li Xian's people hiding around her for many days, and now it was so troublesome to call him out and ask him a question.

She has always liked challenging difficult problems.

In the darkness, Xu Zhi said in a deep voice: "The guards my father and brother Wang gave me are not as good as your ability to hide your voice."

"Princess." The secret guard paused and knelt on the ground.

She saw that he still didn't answer her question.

Xu Zhi is not in a hurry. She has long wanted to deal with the problem of having secret guards monitoring her, but tonight is an opportunity.

Xu Zhi picked up the lamp that Li Zuoche had given her and picked it up. The yellow lamp illuminated the dark-skinned person a little brighter, but it was still dark and she couldn't see clearly.

"Stand here."

She shouted.

The secret guard stood up and took a few steps forward.

His steps were very steady, and he didn't know what kind of shoes he was wearing. He walked without making any sound.

This man emerged from the dark night. Just now he could vaguely see his tall figure. As he got closer, he felt that he was extraordinary.

The secret guard did not wear a crown or hairpin, only tied up his hair with black cloth, and hung an extraordinary black long sword on his waist. This sword exuded a chill under the moonlight, and it could be felt that it had killed countless people. The smell of blood.

It's not like the oppression Li Xian put on Xu Zhi, nor the horror after trying to understand Zhang Liang's plan.

When this secret guard appeared, the impact was very direct.

The only word is danger.

If he was not her secret guard, Xu Zhi would have thought that he was a killer sent to kill her.

Different from assassins, he is the kind of cold person who can kill people directly in front of his face.

In fact, Xu Zhi had seen the sword in his hand before.

However, Xu Zhi didn't realize it yet. Many years ago, this peerless sword was in Jing Ke's hand.

After he came closer, he quickly lowered his head and resumed the posture of kneeling on one knee just now.

The secret guard clasped his fists and explained: "Princess, I really don't know the reason why Mr. Li stays behind closed doors."

His courteous attitude inevitably reduced his aloofness by a large part.

"Tell me, who are you living under?"

"...The subordinates eat the princess' salary."

"Then are you protecting me or spying on me?" She refused.

"My subordinates dare not!"

He said he didn't dare, but he still didn't tell the truth.

Xu Zhi knew very well that if he wanted to ask questions, he couldn't show even a hint of timidity in front of a secret guard.

Xu Zhi didn't worry about ruining her image in Li Xianyuan.

It happened that he was kneeling on the ground.

She secretly gritted her teeth and raised her feet. Xu Zhi felt that she had used strength and stepped heavily on his shoulders.

"Don't you dare? I don't think you dare!"

The secret guard's shoulders felt heavy. Although Princess Yongan's step was not heavy, she was indeed domineering. He thought that she could even beat the courtiers, so who was he?

"Look up." Xu Zhi said in a deep voice. She raised her hand and was about to take off his mask.

The secret guard felt her fingertips brushing against his hard faceplate, and couldn't help but tremble. He hurriedly bowed: "I was a criminal in the past, and I have tattoos on my face. I am ugly. I am afraid of disturbing Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Seeing that he was horrified, Xu Zhi didn't want to force anything, so she stretched out her hand, thinking that it was almost done.

The secret guard saw Princess Yongan retracting her feet and walking back and forth in front of him.

"Then let's ask another question. Since when did you hide in my travels?"

"My subordinate is the princess who has been guarding the princess since she returned to the capital from the Kingdom of Zhao."

He smiled carelessly when she heard her say, "So, you don't know what happened to me in the past?"

She continued, "You don't know anything about what happened in Xianyang Palace and Xinzheng?"

"I don't know."

"Then why do you look like you are afraid of me? Tsk, I won't eat you. If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you."

The secret guard hesitated, and he did not dare to raise his head.

She was smiling quite openly, and the light was swaying beside him. She was probably pushing her lamp with her hand while making such childish behavior, but her words were filled with cruelty.

He didn't need to study carefully to imagine that nothing too mild would happen in Xianyang Palace and Xinzheng.

She raised her eyebrows, deliberately saying this, and also deliberately waiting for the next step.

"The princess is majestic, and my subordinates are in awe. I really don't know anything about Master Li. I have never revealed the whereabouts of the princess. I am loyal to the princess and will never betray my master."

Xu Zhi saw that the lights in Li Xian's room not far away were still burning, and she said, "How can I trust you to be loyal?"

"What the princess says, my subordinates must do."

Xu Zhi was not in a hurry to talk, but now he felt that the secret guard in front of him was somewhat interesting.

"Well, you must have heard it. Just now Li Xian said that if you have anything to do, you can write an article to him. But I must have an interview with him today. Either you get him to the front hall, or let him open the door."

"promise."

Xu Zhi didn't expect him to answer so simply.

I don’t know what the secret guard told Li Xian.

After a while, Xu Zhi entered the house.

She stood majestically in Li Xian's study. The room was divided into a central hall and two side rooms. Black paint was used as a partition between the partitions, so that the inner room could not be seen.

The windows and coffins were all closed, and only the bright moon entered the house, streaming its cool moonlight on the floor.

Sandalwood naturally exudes in the house, and many incense burners are hidden everywhere. A hollow turtle-shaped copper was placed on the desk, with agarwood inside. This deep fragrance made the already solemn study even more meticulous.

In Xu Zhi's memory, Li Xian was not a person who liked to use incense.

But Li Si liked the fragrance, and she still remembered that he had a Boshan stove.

Li Xian told her that since he and Meng Tian returned to Xianyang from Hangu Pass, he had stopped using incense.

Now that Li Xian has lost his crown, he is often in the official office, so it is considered a ritual to come and smoke incense.

She saw him, just behind the nine-fold cloud screen.

"Li Xian?"

She took two steps forward, and when she thought about the left car, she always felt that something was wrong.

Xu Zhi considers herself a sensitive person, but since he said those words in the rain, now, she doesn't dare to rush directly behind the screen to face him and ask if he is okay.

She saw the moonlight falling on the ground, like clear water.

"Are you really sick?"

She pinched the Hetu jade pendant around her waist and said, "I was unwell before..."

He smiled deeply.

"I lied to you."

"..."

"Meeting you in the middle of the night. Princess, don't you know this would be rude?" His tone was as usual, with a touch of teasing.

Li Xian uses things in an old-fashioned way.

...There is still a vague sense of youthful unrestrainedness among the sarcastic words.

No one else showed up.

Li Xian didn't come out because not only was his clothes stained with blood, but his mouth was also bleeding.

He was no longer able to remain presentable.

In front of Xu Zhi was a white silk screen. Clouds and thunder patterns were drawn on the screen with black ink. It was double-sided and only the candlelight was connected.

The two pairs of shadows faced each other across the fire, looking like a mismatch of fate.
