It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Tian Dan could only utter this sentence while hesitating. "How...how could you be Princess Yong'an!!"

"Sir, you want to find my connection, but you don't even know who I am?"

Tian Dan was speechless. He felt cold in his heart as he recalled the bad words he had said to her on the street.

"It's my fault that I'm blind! Your Highness the Princess is very observant!"

"Clear?" "Clear what?"

Tian Dan was really frightened by this cold tone. In addition, Qin always liked to build palaces tall and large, and the inner hall was so spacious that it made people feel uneasy.

"…I am truly innocent about the silk incident. Chen Dianqing can testify for me on this matter. …If Your Highness the Princess had listened to the words of my advisors, she would have known the clues."

"Am I asking about the silk?"

Tian Dan took a deep breath. Her posture and tone of voice were terrifying. His knees weakened immediately. "Your Highness!! I absolutely do not want to hurt Her Highness the Princess!" He immediately took a few steps forward and soon prostrated himself on the ground, pressing his forehead tightly against the carpet. "I absolutely did not send assassins to kill people!"

"You are pretending now." Xu Zhi smiled, "Push Tian Xi to the front, and you will operate in the dark behind the scenes."

He was completely panicked.

There was no one around, so Tian Dan immediately raised his head again. He wanted to see Xu Zhi more clearly, but as soon as his knees left the ground, he was pushed down by the guards and was blocked by Shen Zhi in the middle hall.

"Your Highness, the State of Qin promised my father...Father, on the day when Qi surrendered, His Majesty the Emperor promised to treat the royal family of Qi well. Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness, I just want to stay alive."

"Tian Dan." Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense to me. Your plan has been exposed. Why don't you just tell the truth?!"

He pretended to be stupid and burst into tears. "I don't know what the princess wants me to say. Although I love money and romance, I really don't know anything about what the princess is talking about..."

I'm afraid the only way to deal with people who refuse to admit their mistakes is to use tough measures.

Xu Zhi said, "I don't have much patience. It's almost the New Year, there aren't many people in Yongcheng Prison, and the torture instruments are still empty. Maybe it can help you remember what you did in Yongcheng."

Tian Danyi's expression was uglier than death.

Many people came into the palace of Da Zheng one after another.

It can be seen that Chen Ping and Sima Xin came in the snow, and Li Xian came with them. Only Li Xian could find them in the Zheng Palace in such a short time. And this Lord Li always followed Ying Hehua's lead.

Finally, seeing Meng Yi present, Tian Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief!

When he secretly saw Meng Yi on the streets of Yongcheng, he sent someone to visit Meng Yi. He followed the path of Meng Yi's grandfather Meng Ao, saying that they were also from Qi. When Meng Ao went to Qin, the royal family of Qi did not obstruct him at all, and even sent him off generously. But Meng Yi did not express any opinion at that time, so Tian Dan thought he was going to turn a blind eye.

What Tian Dan didn't expect was that Meng Yi actually agreed to put him in jail first!

When Tian Dan was picked up and dragged away on the charge of conspiracy to assassinate, he suddenly screamed.

"Your Highness! Don't you want to find that person?!"

When Tian Dan said this, they both paused, and then the two highest-ranking officials in the prince's court turned their eyes to him at the same time!

Who are you looking for?

Zhang Liang or Xu Fu?

Xu Fu escaped from Meng Yi, and Ying Hehua never asked him for an explanation. In addition, Meng Yi also brought the imperial edict from Xianyang, and Ying Zheng's plan to grant the marriage was something he had prepared for for a long time, but he still couldn't speak.

And Li Xian definitely didn't want Xu Zhi to know that Zhang Liang had not forgotten the past.

So, without waiting for Tian Dan to say another word.

Li Xian and Meng Yi tacitly understood and made him shut up as quickly as possible. He then picked out something that happened on the way to Zheng Guonan and reported it to her.

A nobleman like Tian Dan had never been imprisoned or even lived in a thatched hut.

Chen Ping said that Tian Dan was terrified when he first entered the prison, and he trembled even more when the torture instruments were put on. When Sima Xin arrived, Tian Dan quickly leaned against the wall and told all the big and small things in one breath, and even wrote down clearly where the silk was used. The only thing he concealed was a trivial matter, which happened to be related to Xu Fu.

However, for the State of Qin, the harvest was great. Before this, Chen Ping had already settled the accounts and did not use the method he used to bribe the nobles in the State of Qi.

When Tian Dan's memorial reached Xianyang, the good news that the small seal script was being successfully implemented was also delivered to Ying Zheng's desk.

Ying Zheng looked at the scroll from Yongcheng thoughtfully. Ziying had never been involved in government affairs, but someone not only managed to keep Tian Dan, whom he was worried about, in line, but also allowed Zheng to go to Lingnan safely and smoothly under the watchful eyes of many people.

Ying Zheng smiled, called Li Si to his side, and said to him proudly, "It seems that Hehua knows his limits after all."

Li Si picked up the cup and immediately understood the emperor's meaning. "Your Highness is both virtuous and talented. You have been taught by Your Majesty since childhood. I am very fortunate. I think that after Your Highness recovers from her illness, she may return to the court."

"You think so?"

Li Si nodded.

Yongcheng was very well-informed. How could Ying Zheng not know anything about the marriage between the daughter of Zheng and Zhang Yuan?

It would be more accurate to say that Ying Zheng was giving his young minister the opportunity to become his son-in-law.

It would be better to say that he was testing his own daughter.

And he succeeded.

Killing Zhang Liang with a ruthless heart is definitely not enough to prove a person's loyalty to Qin. Li Si's own experience in his previous life was enough to illustrate this point. He killed Han Fei, and in the end he was unable to devote his whole heart to Qin.

To truly achieve this, one must make the firm choice to defend the Qin State after repeated temptations, weighing the pros and cons.

In Ying Zheng's opinion, Ying Hehua is probably such a person.

She was both his child and his subject.

He could either hold her in the palm of his hand or see her as a balancing force for the empire.

Although this is exactly what Ying Hehua has been doing, and although Ying Zheng is unwilling to do so, the authority of the emperor and the weight of the Qin State surpass everything in Ying Zheng's mind at some inadvertent moment. For example, once the surging river flows to the east, it cannot return.

Ying Zheng was in a good mood and suggested buying some writing materials, ink and wine.

Zhao Gao presented Li Si with a cup and noticed the signature on the scroll.

Li Si was somewhat disgusted by Zhao Gao's timid gaze.

He had no idea that the other party had already held a grudge against him when he took away the power to control the emperor's seal and engraved his words on the He Shi Bi.

The empire was built and the haze was swept away.

In the dead of night, Ying Zheng said drunkenly: "Go and tell him that I did it."

This "he" is probably Lü Buwei. Perhaps only in the depths of Ying Zheng's heart did he know the weight of the word "Zhongfu", so that no one later could compare with it.

Li Si didn't know that he already had enough time to dilute Lu Buwei's influence on Ying Zheng.

The Qin system is the best proof.

When he heard this, Li Si was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled contemptuously.

Lu Buwei could not live to see the day when the world was unified. It was his own fault: he handed over the rule of the world to Ying Zheng, but was the first to betray him.

But he is different. He will never betray Ying Zheng.

When Li Si stepped out of the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, the moon was already dim in the sky.

Zhao Gao hurriedly chased after him and respectfully handed him an oral order: During the period when Wang Wan was seriously ill, Li Tingwei would act as the prime minister.

Yongcheng Dazheng Palace

The hot spring was filled with steam and was foggy.

Yuan Man smiled and grabbed her sister's hand that was around her and tickling her, "Stop it."

"Are you really that happy?"

"Imperial sister, you didn't see Tian Dan's expression, which was darker than black ash."

"If you scare him into insanity, there will be trouble again."

"How could he have pointed his finger at me and scared me on the street?"

She knew that she was always the one who would take revenge, so she asked, "You wish you could skin him alive?"

Yuanman said the word "cut" lightly, which made her pause.

Then her sister smiled dotingly and touched her cheek, "Okay, Hehua. It's tiring to make a fierce expression and say threatening words all day long."

Xu Zhi felt like he had a handful of clear, warm water in his heart.

"You are really something. You could have dressed up in some other way," Yuan Man asked her to lower herself a little and combed her hair with a silver comb. "How can you dress up like a farmer these days?"

"I can't help it. I have to keep an eye on them."

Yuanman took away the wine table floating on the pool that Xu Zhi was holding in front of her.

"Then don't drink. It's useless to drink at such a young age."

"…This is not wine, it is mixed with drugs,"

"You tell lies easily." Yuan Man pursed her lips and glanced at her, "Why are you still coughing today?"

"…I," Xu Zhi tried to grab it but failed, "Royal sister." "You went to appreciate the plum blossoms with Uncle Ziying today, and I obeyed you and didn't go with you to avoid catching a cold."

Xu Zhi was talking nonsense. At that time, she was in prison trying to scare Tian Dan. How could she have time to appreciate the flowers?

"You. It would be better if you could just stay quiet for a while, so as to save Madam and Father from worrying."

Not to mention a man like Meng Tian who was born a military general, Xu Zhi couldn't stand his sister's gentle reproaches.

Dexterous hands re-combed her hair into a hanging bun.

Xu Zhi was about to get out of the bathtub, but Yuan Man told her to soak for a while longer.

Ying Yuanman took a look at the clothes that Shen Zhi sent. They were still mainly black, with only a red tie as a bright color. She felt unhappy and thought that the maid was not well prepared. Even though Hehua had been married before, she was definitely not really married to the old King of Chu.

"My little sister is only eighteen years old, there is no need to dress so old-fashioned."

Xu Zhi felt that this sounded familiar, as she had advised Li Xian in the same way many years ago.

If all princesses have the same personality as Ying Yuanman.

That would be great luck to the world.

So, Yuan Man insisted that Xu Zhi change the color, so she left and went to her palace to give her the embroidered robe in advance.

It was a rare opportunity for Xu Zhi to relax completely, so he leaned against the hot spring bath and closed his eyes to rest.

The curtain moved slightly.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes.

She was naked, so she didn't turn around and had her back to the curtain.

Her voice immediately returned to its usual calm tone from the soft, joking words she had just used when joking with her sister.

"If it is a report from the secret cabinet, just put it on the table."

I didn't hear anyone talking.

In her early years, the secret guards around her were all taken care of by Li Xian. Over the years, except for Lu Heng who was sent out, the secret guards who could enter and leave her palace were quietly replaced by women and her own people.

In order to keep it secret, they did things without talking.

Xu Zhi did not doubt today's news, thinking it was important, and stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

The air was filled with steaming white mist. The people who were called dared not breathe and buried their heads very low.
