A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"Li Si?"

Shikiya was surprised.

Seeing her surprise, Ying Zheng asked

"How come? Do you know him?"

"No, I don't know him. I just heard of this name. It is said that he is a very talented and thoughtful person."

Ying Zheng was a little confused when he saw that she knew Li Si.

"Is this person so famous? Even you know that it seems that the person Lu Xiangguo recommended to me this time is probably right. Maybe... he can help me complete the great cause of unification."

Since she knew Zhao Lijiang's shocking secret during the day, Shimi had always seemed a little uneasy. She wanted to tell Ying Zheng, but she was afraid that he would not be able to fight against Lao Ai recommended by Lu Buwei. She hesitated for a while and was extremely troubled. .

"What's wrong? Why are you so absent-minded today?"

Ying Zheng probed her forehead

"But you're sick?"

"No no……"

She smiled a little forcedly, leaned into Ying Zheng's arms, and said lightly

"Are you going to see Li Si tomorrow too?"

"Yes...he gave me advice on how to unify the world. I have gained a lot from listening to him these past few days."

Ying Zheng saw her unconsciously leaning on his arms, and expressed concern again.

"Are you lonely since I haven't been with you in the palace these days? If you are lonely, can I take you with me tomorrow?"

Shimi put his arms around Ying Zheng's neck and shook his head.

"You are going there for a national event, how could you take me with you? Wouldn't it be a joke to others?"

The two cuddled up to each other, and Ying Zheng held her tightly in his arms and comforted her.

"After tomorrow, let's go out of the palace for a walk. You have been in Qin for a long time and have not had a chance to go outside. After tomorrow, I will accompany you."

On the second day, after Shimi and Ying Zheng had breakfast, he was about to leave the palace. He had been accompanied by Meng Tian for the past few days. Wang Jian took leave to accompany his old father. Since Wang Jian was no longer in the palace, even Shi Yi appeared and disappeared. , it’s hard to find anyone.

"You have to come back early."

Shimi was a little reluctant to leave. Seeing Ying Zheng leave, there was always an indescribable reluctance in her heart. She seemed to have foreseen some crisis. Today, she was uneasy. She always felt that after Ying Zheng left, she would never see her again. He did.

Ying Zheng saw that she was inseparable and kept kissing her to comfort her.

"I will be back early. You don't look well today. The imperial doctor will be sent over later to take a look."

The two said goodbye reluctantly, Shimi watched Ying Zheng's back disappear from sight, and then she slowly walked back to the dormitory.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? I see that your face looks very ugly. You didn't eat much in the morning. Is it because of what happened yesterday?"

Zhucui helped her walk back, both master and servant were worried.

Before they were halfway along the road, the guards sent by Zhao Lijiang arrived.

"We are ordered by the Queen Mother to bring the Queen back to the palace!"

Seeing the menacing attack of more than ten people, Shimi didn't expect that Zhao Lijiang would be so guilty that he would take action so soon!

"What did the Queen Mother tell me about?"

She showed a rare empress attitude and did not notice that she was flustered. Instead, she asked condescendingly.

"The Queen Mother didn't say anything, she just told the Queen not to resist the decree! If you don't go, don't blame the servants for being rude!"

"presumptuous!"

Shimi roared angrily, making Zhucui jump. How could she be the gentle and approachable empress she was? This is the full aura of the king! The guards were shocked to the point of being startled.

"I am the king's concubine, how dare you be rude to me? How can you be rude? Are you going to kidnap me? Or are you going to escort me?!"

Shimi looked at the guards with a murderous look, which caused half of the original arrogance of these guards to disappear. One of them said

"The young ones are also following the Queen Mother's orders. Please don't make it difficult for the young ones."

Shikiya ignored it indifferently, but turned around and said to them

"Allow me to have a few words with my maid."

Shimi looked at the frightened Zhu Cui and said with a gentle smile.

"When Shi Yi comes back later, tell her that I'm going to sit in the Queen Mother's Palace for a while, and tell her not to worry. I'll be right back."

As she spoke, she secretly stuffed the jade pendant given to her by Ying Zheng around her waist into Zhu Cui's hand, and signaled to her eyes that if something unexpected happened, she should ask Shi Yi to go find the king.

Although Zhucui was frightened, luckily she was still smart. She quickly pretended that nothing happened and secretly covered the jade pendant with her cuffs.

"Can't I go with you?"

"No, the Queen Mother only summoned one empress!"

These guards who came out of the Queen Mother's Palace were quite inhumane. How could they let go?

Shimiya patted Zhu Cui's hand to comfort him, then turned around and said in a stern voice

"I'll let you go!"

Shimi followed these guards to the Queen Mother's Palace. She didn't know what was going to happen ahead, but the only thing she was sure of was that Zhao Lijiang would not let her out so easily after questioning her for a few words. This trip was going to be a disaster. .

The guards surrounded him, all with solemn expressions. When passing by the long street, Shimi saw the dejected Yan Dan.

Yan Dan did not approach, but looked confused, as if he was asking Shimi what happened.

Yan Dan had no ability to save herself, Shimiya knew it. She didn't talk to Yan Dan, but glanced at him timidly, and never looked at him again.

Zhao Lijiang and Lao Ai had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Shimi was finally escorted in, they showed a proud smile.

"Give me a sigh!"

Zhao Lijiang shouted sternly, showing no mercy to her at all.

Shimiya was also tough. Seeing that although they came prepared, they were not scared. She still straightened her back and showed an unyielding expression.

"I wonder what the Queen Mother is calling Shimi here to do today?"

"You have the nerve to ask me what happened without changing your expression? You know best what you did!"

Zhao Lijiang slowly walked down from the seat and walked up to Shiya, looking as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"Yesterday...did you catch the conversation between Lao Ai and the others?"

Sure enough, it was for this reason!

Shikiya smiled and said

"The Queen Mother has a secret relationship with someone else and does such a shameful thing. Aren't you afraid of hurting your Majesty's heart?"

"Don't use Zheng'er to pressure me! Zheng'er likes you, but I don't like you!"

Zhao Lijiang did not deny it, but smiled proudly and stroked his belly

"There is also Zheng'er's younger brother in my belly!"

This person said such ridiculous words, which really made Shikiya laugh. She asked

"Queen Mother, don't you understand? If you gave birth to this child, do you think Lao Ai would not use the child as an excuse to rebel and put his child on the throne? With such a simple truth, don't you really Don’t you understand?”

"Shut up! Shut up, you witch!!"

When Lao Ai heard this, she hurriedly rushed down from her seat, pointed at Shimi and cursed

"My sincerity towards the Queen Mother can be judged by the sun and the moon! How could I be so bold as to rebel! How dare you slander me!"

He turned around in panic and brainwashed Zhao Lijiang

"Queen Mother! I don't have such thoughts! You know me best! We have a deep relationship. It's too late for me to be happy after having this child. How can I think about treason! I just want to serve the Queen Mother, but I don't want to Lose your head!"
