It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

There was a heavy snowfall at night, and it was windy.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, at midnight, the lights were bright.

When Xu Zhi arrived at Wang Wan's mansion at night, he found a man pacing at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He hesitated for a long time and did not dare to go in. The servant at the door came forward and talked to him for a long time, but he was neither left nor right.

Xu Zhi waited for a long time, but the man didn't leave.

During the time when Wang Wan was seriously ill, she could not have too much communication with him. Last night, she received news that Li Xian would return to the capital from Chu before dawn.

Before he came back, she had to find out what the imperial edict said, so that when Li Si became prime minister, she would have the possibility to negotiate with him about Xunzi's theory.

Right now, she seemed a little out of place in this delicate balance.

Xu Zhiding was not far away. She chose such an unlucky time! She met an official on the same side as Li Si.

Some people also want to avoid suspicion, so they plan to come at night.

Xu Zhi's carriage had been kept secret by the Xianyang Order because even if she came to get the imperial edict approved by Ying Zheng, she could not openly lean towards either side before the royal family made a statement.

Backyard wooden gate.

Yao Jia stared, his robe soaked by the snow water.

The two looked at each other, and Yao Jia was obviously flustered and tried to avoid him.

His eyesight was still very good, and he immediately recognized the person who came, it was Yongan. He was even more flustered when he saw the blade on Ying Hehua's waist.

"...Your Majesty, I have no other thoughts. I am just worried about the Prime Minister, so I came to visit you so late at night. I hope Your Highness the Princess will understand." He closed his hands and was about to bow in fear.

Xu Zhi thought of a bad plan in a moment.

Shen Zhi's torch illuminated him slightly. There was snow on his body, which must have fallen because he had been shut out for too long.

Yao Jia stood up and saw her in the snow in the dim light.

Ying Hehua turned around from the faint orange light and looked at him.

"Master Yao." "If we can't go through the main gate, we can still go here."

This statement instantly brought Yao Jia back to thirty years ago, when he was in Daliang, his father was a gatekeeper who often did things like climbing walls and climbing over rooftops for official duties. After his father was falsely accused and dismissed from his post, Yao Jia was quite skilled and almost went astray. Han Fei's words "the great thief of Liang is the exiled minister of Zhao" were true.

Ying Zheng and Li Si both knew his background, which was a great shame for a scholar. I don't know whether Ying Hehua did it intentionally or unintentionally, but when she spoke, there was no irony at all, and she didn't think it was really offensive!

Yao Jia was just thinking about how to explain when he heard another voice.

“Can you climb over the wall?”

"……what?"

"Can you climb over the wall?" she asked again.

If Yao Jia wants to go back ten years, he can.

"How can Her Royal Highness, who is so noble, ..."

"Shut up." Ying Hehua glanced at him, interrupted him, and said in a low voice, "If we don't want to cause trouble, this method is feasible."

"Your Highness, if I am discovered, I will bear the responsibility alone. If Your Highness is injured, how can I explain to His Majesty the Emperor?"

"We won't be discovered." She stared at him with her dark eyes. "What you want to know may not be what I don't want to know. Our current status is inconvenient, so we can't cause trouble. The people in Wang Wan's mansion will turn a blind eye and won't make things difficult for you and me. Besides, my father asked me to come and get the imperial edict, you may not be unaware of this."

Yao Jia knew that she had come here with Ying Zheng's permission, but he absolutely did not believe that Ying Zheng meant to let her walk into Wang Wan's mansion like this.

Even Yao Jia himself wanted to know whose name was written on Ying Hehua's marriage decree, but at this juncture, what occupied his mind was what was the situation with Wang Wan's illness?

He was expectant, yet desperate, nervous and worried. He hoped that Wang Wan would recover after a while, just like Li Si who was poisoned many years ago. But he was also afraid that Wang Wan would follow the same path as Prime Minister Lu...

If all Ying Zheng needed was Li Si, Dun Ruo could disappear, and so could Wang Wan.

He couldn't guess the emperor's mind, and he didn't have the courage to measure it.

At this moment, the appearance of Ying Hehua made him feel that the situation was even more confusing.

"Lord Yao." Ying Hehua urged him.

He wanted to know the truth, so he gritted his teeth and followed her.

So, he reached the wall, held onto it, and tried to move his body, but unfortunately he was too fat to jump. He could only put his hands on his stomach awkwardly... and bent over, "I am incompetent, I am willing to be a stepping stone for the princess."

Before he could react, the little princess who was raised in Zhilan Palace and had been seriously injured had already climbed over the wall by herself.

... "Your Highness, good, good skills."

Yao Jia looked at the little princess sitting on the wall under the moonlight, feeling a little dazed. If you ignore everything she did before, it suddenly seemed incredible that Li Si considered her dangerous.

"Really? I'm afraid I'm not as healthy as you were when you were young."

Yao Jia felt that she was no different from his own daughter. She spoke so softly, like a child seeking approval from her elders, completely ignoring the fact that Ying Hehua also knew his past identity.

"Better than when I was young."

The wall was not actually very high. Xu Zhi borrowed Azhi's strength. She was light and climbed up in no time. But when she looked at the people standing below, she didn't expect that Yao Jia was too fat.

"As Father said, you do need to restrain yourself."

Yao Jia seemed unconvinced and pulled at the gray stones of the wall. He stepped on the earthen stalks and tried to climb up without caring about his image. However, the snow was slippery and his hands were frozen. After living a rich life for nearly twenty years, Yao Jia could no longer be the same as he was thirty years ago.

His movements are so funny, just like Kung Fu Panda.

Xu Zhi was about to uncontrollably hold back his laughter.

She didn't dare to reach out to pull Yao Jia.

"My Lord, are you waiting for me here? Anyway, we are already on this journey today, so I can satisfy your wish to see him. If you have any message for Wang Wan, I can help you pass it on."

Yao Jia was stunned. The girl's smile was above him, pure and untainted by dust.

Yao Jia, who had been scheming for half his life, was stunned. What if he and Li Si were wrong?

What if everything Ying Hehua did was really as Li Xian said?

The broken snow in the sky turned into white flakes, it was very cold.

Yao Jia took a breath of cold air. In his opinion, even though Ying Hehua was a simple-minded person, once she got involved in the political competition and tasted the taste of power, she would never be able to withdraw from it. For example, Zhang Liang's abandonment was the best proof.

A royal princess is no ordinary person.

When she found that Yao Jia didn't say a word and just looked at her quietly, she slowly saw confusion in his eyes... and then hostility.

The harmony and kindness that just flashed by will disappear in an instant.

She was about to call her secret guard.

At the critical moment, a black shadow suddenly gathered behind Yao Jia. The man in black robe lifted Yao Jia up and over the wall. As she was lifted up by him, she fell gently from the top of the wall to the ground. He immediately let go of her arm and stepped back.

He came so quickly and so lightly, which showed that he had extremely high martial arts skills.

His profile was faintly visible under the robe, his brows were slightly furrowed, full of displeasure.

When she saw his face, Xu Zhi knew that she had come to Wang Wan's door under the gaze of her father and in public.

"On a snowy day, please don't do anything dangerous, Your Highness."

The traces of the road gradually disappeared. The red plum blossoms in front of Zhilan Palace remained, but the roses were withering and sparse, making it hard to forget the severe coldness of the snowy day.

A sprig of wintersweet fell from his hair with a plop.

Wintersweet is different from other flowers, including red plum. Although it is just a small branch, once its inherent fragrance spreads, it fills the entire field with rich fragrance.

His robe was blown off by the snow wind, and Yao Jia was shocked.

"Lord Meng."
