In the current situation, whether Hu Hai is dead or alive has little impact on Xu Zhi.

"It would be nice if you could do it cleanly. Since you want to give me peace, you'd better not cause trouble. I don't have time to clean up your mess."

She glanced outside and her eyes swept over Li Xian, catching his smile.

Xu Zhi suddenly felt something was wrong. Hu Wan's Fu Yue Palace was not independent like Zhi Lan Palace. Without the token, no matter how high his martial arts skills were, he could not enter the inner palace of Xianyang.

She sat up slightly, propped up her elbows, and pretended not to care: "You shouldn't be so reckless. Since you can get in, are you afraid that you can't get out?"

He thought this was the conclusion she came to after getting to know him well enough.

"If there is no princess' carriage, I will stay in the narrow path of the palace for a day," he replied.

Xu Zhi said, "You make it sound easy. If the palace really investigates and implicates your family, how will the supervisor explain it?"

Li Xian still couldn't understand immediately. It was difficult for someone like him to regard her words as concern.

He even blurted out, "The princess should be happy with the current situation."

"Your kindness is taken for granted." Xu Zhi frowned.

He easily saw through her thoughts, smiled, and leaned back, "Princess, if you want to ask me what Hu Ji and I talked about, there is no need to be so roundabout. Your courteous tricks have no effect on me."

Xu Zhi smiled.

"The inspector is right." She stood up. "I am not too worried about you and your father. But your brother is a loyal minister. If he gets into trouble because of you, I will be unable to sleep at night."

The last eight words inevitably made Li Xian stunned.

She spoke of her concern for others in such a lighthearted way, but the weight of her words annoyed him.

In the past, he would fight back when she spoke like this. But this time, the person she was talking about was his eldest brother.

Maybe she did it on purpose.

The carriage had been out of the palace for a long time and was almost reaching the busy streets of Xianyang.

Seeing that he still didn't tell her what he had talked about with Hu Ji, she had lost her patience, but still kept her conscience and sent him to the street corner.

"Princess, we have arrived at Fengxiang." After saying this, the servant consciously retreated.

Xu Zhi looked at him and raised his chin slightly, indicating that he could get off the car.

Li Xian suddenly looked embarrassed, covering the wound on his arm that had not yet dried up, and looked at her.

"The blade may be poisoned. Ranchen's injury must not be known to anyone in the mansion."

Xu Zhi glanced at the wound on his arm and said, "That's how you lied to me last time." She turned her head away from him and said briefly, "Go away."

"When was the last time?" Li Xian pretended to have amnesia.

He put on that look again, and she didn't make any big moves to urge him. She just laughed, "When we were in Handan, someone said that he was seriously injured and so weak that he couldn't even lift a wine jug. But in the end, he still ran out in the middle of the night to kill people."

Li Xian lowered his eyelashes and covered his unfathomable black eyes, "But my wound is still bleeding."

Xu Zhi stared at him in amazement as he said this.

As soon as he noticed that she glanced at him, he immediately put a very aggrieved expression on his face.

I have to say, if he really wants to deceive people with that face, he can really deceive them sincerely.

He then released his right hand that was covering the wound.

The wound on Li Xian's arm was very deep, almost exposing the bone, and the edge of his clothes was red with a hint of black.

"...You," she frowned, "wasting hours talking so much nonsense." "Where are the medicines you brought with you?"

Xu Zhi was about to rummage through his clothes, but just as his hand was placed in front of his chest, he paused and immediately pulled it back as quickly as possible.

"You find it yourself."

He suppressed his smile and kept his eyes down.

"Does the princess want me to become a cripple?"

…Xu Zhi was dumbfounded. How could he break into the palace and kill people, which would punish the entire family, and then act so aggrieved the next moment?

Xu Zhi ignored him.

He was silent for a while, and with great difficulty, he raised his injured arm and put it on his right lapel, "I can't take it out."

Only he could say such shameless words without blushing or beating his heart.

Xu Zhi glared at him, "Don't pretend to be the one-armed Yang Guo." "You still have one hand?!"

“Yang Guo, who is that?” He paused, his voice lowered a lot, and took out the medicine from his arms, “Hu Hai is not easy to kill. I am really useless…”

From the word "also", we can see that in eliminating Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, he is indeed sticking to the path he took when they first met - this is still good news.

Xu Zhi warned himself not to act on impulse.

She glanced at his arm roughly and took out a roll of white silk cloth from under the carriage, "...move closer."

Li Xian watched her tear the silk cloth into long strips. Although he was extremely reluctant, he still applied the medicine to him as gently as possible, and tried not to hurt him when wrapping the gauze.

He didn't feel anything. For him, pain was a sign of being alive.

But she always kept her distance from him.

He tried his best to get them as close as twenty centimeters, preferably within ten centimeters.

But he accidentally tilted his head and felt pain, and he hissed.

She immediately raised her face and raised her dark eyes in panic, "Are you okay?"

Xu Zhi's hands were soaked with his blood, and his expression froze, "Sorry, I'm a little rusty. It seems I should find Xia Wuqie to learn for a while."

Li Xian suddenly felt melancholy. If she could always speak to him so gently and look at him with such concern, he would rather continue to struggle on the brink of life and death.

He is not Zhang Liang, he can never tolerate them becoming two opposing sides. For him, this is more terrible than death.

She was bowing her head and tying her hair, her dense and long eyelashes fluttering, like countless halos of light and fragments of time, psychedelic and hazy, like all the sunshine in his past life, with green waves and mottled in the vortex.

Xu Zhi didn’t know what Li Xian was thinking. He just looked at his wrapped arm and seemed reluctant to get out of the car.

"Your lower body is fine, is there any problem with walking?"

Li Xian narrowed his eyes and smiled at her, "That's no problem. Thank you for your concern, Princess."

When Li Xian got off the carriage, he found that the servants were very reluctant to go on the road and stood a few meters away.

He looked at Xu Zhi, and she glared at him in confusion again, "Why? Do you still want me to help you back home?"

Li Xian certainly didn't do this just to get her attention. During this period, he had found a very suitable reason to explain to the outside world how he was injured.

He didn't want others to misunderstand her.

Xu Zhi then saw him curl his eyes, "I suddenly thought of something. Didn't the princess ask me to tell Zuo Che about his grandfather?"

"You're unlikely to tell." In fact, Xu Zhi didn't count on Li Xian at all.

"If you go visit Zuo Che today, I will tell him the details today."

There is no need to guess what a smart person says. Xu Zhi looked at his injury and said decisively, "Do you want me to come forward and give you an explanation for what happened today?"

Li Xian leaned forward slightly, "Yes." He looked at her, "I heard in the palace that the Queen Mother was unwell. In fact, Princess knows that the disease of stagnation of breath is easy to cure. It only requires releasing the past hatred. If the Queen Mother could know what Lu Buwei said before his death, it might be of great help."

Seeing that she seemed unmoved, he added reflexively, "But the king has already ordered the ban on the book to be destroyed. If any inappropriate news reaches Ganquan Palace, it may backfire."

Yes, this is Li Xian. Zhao Ji's life or death doesn't matter to him, but it matters a lot to Ying Zheng.

For the Qin State, at least on the eve of unification, the queen dowager could not die.

Xu Zhi took two steps forward and turned sideways, "Deal."

A young man was waving a wooden sword on the open snowy ground. His lower body was extremely stable and his swordsmanship was formal. Although the eleven-year-old Li Zuoche was still childish, he had already shown his talent and intelligence early on.

The gray rabbit named Fugui liked winter the most. He would pile up the snow into balls and then run into them. After digging three or four holes in the snow, he would roll around in it.

Li Zuoche was afraid that the cat would bite the rabbit to death, so he took it to Li Xian's residence. Within three years, the rabbit had grown fat and big.

Li Zuoche turned around and although he saw Li Xian, it seemed that he was walking much slower than usual.

However, Li Xian often returned home with injuries, and once he collapsed at the door, which scared him silly.

Later, Li Zuoche got used to it.

He didn't know what his second brother was capable of, and this time he was supported by his princess sister to come back!

After years of instruction from the Li family, he was extremely familiar with Qin Lu and also felt the special status of Princess Yong'an. He could no longer call her by the name he used to call her when he was a child.

"Your Highness," he bowed.
