It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Zhao Gao hid in the darkness, observing all this with a sinister gaze.

There was no bloodshed, and Ying Zheng was not there either.

When night falls, if there is no imperial edict to stay in the palace, you will be punished with a serious crime.

When Li Xian came out of Zhangtai Palace, his long shadow stretched on the long gray-black steps, and the shadows were intertwined and as dark as ink.

When the father and son were facing each other, a shadow flew by. It was a fleeting dark cloud in the sky blown by the wind.

In an instant, both of them recalled the threat from each other's eyes.

Perhaps Ying Zheng did not send anyone to pass on the message. Li Si quickly realized that Zhao Gao and Ying Hehua had known each other for a long time, and perhaps even Zhao Gao was sent by Ying Hehua to test him.

On the way back to the palace, after a long silence, Li Si finally asked about what had happened in the palace.

Many things that Li Xian saw and heard on Mount Zhongnan, especially the attic built by Mo Qixiu in the mountain, were things that subverted his cognition.

He was afraid that in the midst of crises, some other paths might lead to failure, so he didn't want to let his father know too early.

Especially during such a long period of time, he did not see what Zhao Gao was doing, or what Zhao Gao did during the period before unification.

He absolutely did not believe that the sentiment of a riot could swell and explode from one point without leaving any traces in the past.

Li Xian remained silent, and he did not tell his father all the things that Ying Zheng had discussed with him. Instead, he talked about things related to Sima Cheng and Bai Qi in Shu.

"What? Is Yong'an so curious about Bai Qi's affairs?"

Li Xian said: "Or maybe father should say that she is always curious about everything."

Li Si closed his eyes, "If you hadn't let her know about Sima Cheng, at least she wouldn't be curious about Bai Qi and Mo Qi's past. She wouldn't be involved in Zhongnan's affairs."

No matter who he was talking to, Li Si always spoke to the point and rarely revealed his true thoughts.

Li Xian will deeply understand this in the long past and the rest of his life.

Li Xian continued. "Father, if Your Highness wants to get involved in these matters, I don't mind telling you the truth about the past."

"Including Mo Qi's past?" Li Si seemed to recall many moments in the past. He laughed deeply and played with the visiting card in his hand with contempt. "It's okay for you to tell her."

He saw his father, who was nearly fifty years old, in the darkness.

Li Xian's deep eyes were darker than the night, and his voice confused the past and the future. No one knew what Li Xian was thinking.

Li Si heard him say, "Father, she won't affect us."

Li Si opened his eyes. He thought he felt relieved when he heard these words.

It was a slightly cool night.

In Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng stood on the stairs earlier than ever before.

Meng Yi rushed back from the direction of Zhilan Palace under the cover of night.

"The official who met with Princess Yong'an was the Imperial Court Official..."

Ying Zheng's eyes darkened, and the corners of his mouth slightly tilted upward, revealing a sneer. "Li Si?"

Meng Yi had some words stuck in his throat and couldn't utter them, but he never concealed anything, so he naturally spoke more clearly.

"Yes." "Your Highness pointed out to me that the person I saw was Li Xian's father."

The atmosphere fell into an inexplicable tension.

Zhao Gao stared at his sleeves with deep hatred, and said quietly, "Your Majesty, when I went to look for the Chief Justice, I might have run into Li Jian coming out of the palace. I wonder if there was any misunderstanding."

-

For Li Xian, there is only loyalty to his monarch, whether in this life or the previous one.

One hour ago, Zhangtai Palace.

He bowed his head over the desk, on which were piles of bamboo slips and silk books.

Ying Zheng's sharp eyes penetrated the cold air in the palace, "Tell me the truth about Mount Zhongnan, and I will spare your life."

Li Xian fell to the ground, and he did not mention Zhang Liang.

"The king ordered me to arrest Zhang and Chen, but they were released on Mount Zhongnan. This was my fault, and I am guilty."

The king's cold eyes swept over him, but he said nothing and took a step forward before speaking.

"Many years ago, I handed over the secret chamber to your father. Ten years ago, I handed over a part of it to you. Do you know why?"

Ying Zheng would not be so idle as to take the time to question a county-level inspector.

Ying Hehua is just one of the reasons.

What Li Xian had done over the years had already attracted the attention of Ying Zheng. Once the sharp blade in the hands of the king was disobedient, there would be only one outcome. King Xi of Yan was similarly ruthless towards his son Yan Dan.

In the previous life, when the weapons were being smelted and tempered, all the assassins in the secret chamber were returned, and the upper echelons were assigned to the secret undercurrent of the army, waiting for an opportunity to act.

The reason why the Julu Sword is important is not only because it is inherited from the Qin royal family, but also because of an internal secret. It is well known that the Julu Sword is closely related to the Ailao Mountains, which are close to the Luo River, which has always been carrying mysterious legends.

Luoshui is in Chu, and Chu values ​​priests. There is even a saying that the King of Chu dreamed of Mount Wu. The former kings of Qin were not interested in the beautiful goddess, but the land south of Mount Wu, which was the land of Chu.

During this process, the Qin State's secret cabinet was transformed from an assassin organization that was responsible for spying on various countries' intelligence, and it also had the function of collecting magical weapons and treasures.

This is how the Suihou Pearl, Kunshan Jade, and Tai'a Julu came into being.

One light and one dark, the combination is quite good.

Before Li Xian left Zhangtai Palace, he bowed his head and said, "I understand what the king means. Your Highness needs more than just red stone."

Ying Zheng then let him raise his head, his eyes piercing the chill in the hall, "Don't think that I allow you and He Hua to lie to me, and that I really don't know anything."

Li Xian lowered his eyes and looked cold.

At this moment, in an absolute sense, Ying Zheng was indeed looking down on them.

"I am willing to swear on my blood that I will never deceive the king."

When Li Xian left the hall, his arm was covered in blood, but Zhao Gao somehow saw it and hurried to help him.

Li Xian was extremely disgusted with Zhao Gao and he quickly stopped him.

He accidentally pushed Zhao Gao.

Li Xian watched Zhao Gao about to roll down the stairs, but he did not pull him back. He even stared at Zhao Gao with resentment.

If only it could be on Fusu’s wedding day.

If Zhao Gao could be hit to death on the steps, if he and his father were warned by Ying Zheng and Xu Zhi to survive the future, perhaps everything would be fine.

However, Xu Zhi chose to continue on this path, not hesitating to use him to threaten his father.

Then his value reaches the peak of utilization at this moment.

The dark eyes were like a cold pond, and a smile gradually appeared in the pupils.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a twisted sense of happiness. The growing comfort made Li Xian feel for the first time that the evening was so beautiful.

—

A few days later, it was another clear evening, and there was a different world on the second floor of Linyuan Pavilion.

The place where scholars used to socialize has been replaced by a hangout for wealthy merchants from Xianyang.

Several bright lights were on, and jewels and silks were spread out in the night.

But these are all things that are on the surface.

Xu Zhi sat in the shadows, her delicate and beautiful face looming behind the gauze curtain.

Move with the wind.

Li Xian also remained silent, letting the mottled moonlight sway on his face.

After a moment, the fox-like eyes were once again filled with a variety of complex expressions, emitting an unfathomable black vortex.

"The princess's plan of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west is brilliant."

The orange light filled his eyes and he smiled, almost making people dizzy.

Xu Zhi had been giving him a lot of face by being able to endure until now, but he was actually laughing while doing nothing?

She threw the confession letter she found in South Korea at him.

The bamboo slips hit him hard and slid down his chest.

"How can you compare to Supervisor Li's retreat to advance? I almost thought you and I were of the same mind."
