A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Zhao Yan's tone was somewhat provocative, but Li Mu did not answer.

He still had no intention of letting Li Mu go back, but walked back and forth beside him, looking at this veteran who had been fighting at the border for many years. His glorious years as a general seemed to be buried in the sand of Yanmen. .

In the past, Zhao Yan respected him and admired him. But now Zhao Yan is full of dissatisfaction and anger towards him. He wants to kill him, but he can't.

"More than ten years ago, you sent Shimi to South Korea, how could you let her go to Qin?"

He is still brooding over the separation ten years ago.

"You said you were attacked by the Qin army, but how did you escape with so many troops?"

Zhao Yan's tone was cold, angry, and full of sadness.

"You verbally promised to send Shimi to South Korea, but in fact you had already colluded with Ying Zheng. You cooperated internally and externally, and sent Shimi to Qin when she was going to South Korea, right? When you set out from Zhao, you You don’t plan to let Shimi go to Korea, do you?”

"No... of course not. Li Mu has explained it many times, but your Majesty still doesn't believe it..."

"I don't believe it!"

Afterwards, Zhao Yan laughed a few times and said sarcastically

"Li Mu, Li Mu... your infatuation has fulfilled Shimi and Yingzheng. You have forgotten yourself! Look, Shimi will not think of you again after returning to Qin! She is now the queen of Qin! And you...for her, you have endured the cold wind blowing at the border for many years, are you worth it?! Now that she respects you as a queen, she will not think of any of your good qualities!!"

He mocked sarcastically without hiding it, but Li Mu felt very calm in his heart. The Zhao Yan in front of him seemed not to care about anything, but he was still living in the separation of more than ten years.

"I did not betray the State of Zhao, nor did I conspire with the State of Qin, but Shimi... just went where she should go."

"If you fail during this expedition, I will kill you!"

Seeing Li Mu's tough attitude, Zhao Yan stopped saying anything and "invited" him out of the palace after saying some harsh words.

Li Xi had been sitting alone in front of the bronze mirror on the table for a long time. She looked at herself in the mirror, caressed this familiar face, but felt more and more unfamiliar the more she looked at it, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This face makes me love and hate it at the same time.

"Girl, you've been looking in front of the mirror for a long time, what's wrong?"

The former housekeeper Li was so old that he couldn't stand up straight, but he still stayed in the mansion to guard this empty house for more than ten years. Li Mu thought that he was old and loyal, so he left him in the mansion to provide for him until his death.

He looked at the girl in front of him in the mirror for a long time, looking left and right. He seemed to be unfamiliar with this face, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Old man, I heard that you have met Shimiya before, right?"

Li Xi looked at the old man in front of him. The old man seemed to have a bad look in his eyes, but when he heard himself say the word "Shimi", his wrinkled eyes became a little more colorful.

"Yes... I have seen... I have seen..."

His throat was a little hoarse, as if the wind was blowing through dead branches.

"Am I really that similar to her?"

The old housekeeper opened his eyes wide, looked at Li Xi's face again and again, studied it carefully, nodded again after a moment, and replied with a smile.

"Like! Girl, you and Shikiya look exactly the same! I have never seen anyone so similar in my entire life. If you say you are not related by blood, I really don't believe it! Girl... you and Shikiya, just like They are like twin sisters."

"What kind of person is she? Old man, would you like to tell me?"

Because of Li Xi's face, the old housekeeper seemed to have returned to ten years ago. He stroked Hua Bai's beard and said slowly

"She is a good girl, lively and filial. When the old lady was still alive, she liked her very much, because she often walked around the house, which added a bit more color to the dull Li Mansion."

"So where is she now?"

"What? Didn't General Li tell you?"

The old housekeeper was a little surprised.

"Brother, he never said much. He only said that he had such a woman."

"Hey……"

The old housekeeper shook his head and replied helplessly

"Shimiya is a good girl, but she also has a bad fate... She was dragged to the prince's palace by force, and she had to be the prince's concubine for two years. Then she was sent to South Korea by the late king as a plaything. It was General Li Escorting her all the way, I understand... General Li must have felt uncomfortable, but fortunately... the proton Ying Zheng who returned to the Qin State rescued her again, and now... she is the queen of the Qin State. "

"The Queen of Qin!"

Li Xi stood up in shock

"She, she is still alive? The woman who looks similar to me is the queen of Qin?!"

"Yes...exactly...if I remember correctly, she has already given birth to children for the king of Qin."

Li Xi sat back down in shock, as if talking to himself

"If she were the queen of Qin... it would be absolutely impossible for her to return to Zhao! Why... why is my brother still obsessed with her? He has not been close to women in these years, and he has not married or had children. Could it be that... he is still obsessed with this? Can’t you forget the woman named Shikiya?!”

The old housekeeper had no choice but to shake his head and look at the desolate courtyard. The hoarse and vicissitudes of voice added a lot of sadness to this topic.

"Although the general has never said it out loud, I also understand...the general's feelings for Shikiya girl...are probably something he will never forget in his lifetime."

An impossible relationship, unable to see the person you love, unable to hug someone despite dreaming about it several times. How much do you need to miss her so that you can still be in love with her after more than ten years?

Li Xi has known for a long time that Li Mu's feelings for Shimi are deep and deep that ordinary people cannot understand.

The old housekeeper looked at Li Xi and asked with some doubts

"The girl and Shimi look exactly the same. Why didn't General Li marry the girl when we have been stationed in Yanmen for many years? I thought the general who was far away in Yanmen was already married, but why...you guys called each other brother and sister?"

When it came to this matter, Li Xi felt helpless.

"Brother said that although Shikiya and I have similar looks, she is her and I am me. He can't confuse the two of us, and he can't have other feelings for me."

Li Xi looked at himself in the bronze mirror and couldn't help feeling a little disgusted with this face.

"Old man, do you have any incense sticks at home?"

"What are you going to do, girl?"

"Can you please help me get some? Li Xi has his own uses."

The old housekeeper brought a plate of incense sticks. The green smoke was lingering and smelled of sandalwood.

"Girl, what do you want to do? But the house smells musty? Do you want to smoke it?"

"Do not……"

Li Xi folded a piece of incense thread, looked at the looming red sparks, and without thinking much, stabbed it towards the corner of his right eye.

"hiss……"

The burning pain made Li Xi scream. The old housekeeper wanted to snatch it away with quick eyesight, but saw a small burn wound on the corner of her eye.

A few days later, the scar from the burn peeled off, leaving a light-colored tear mole.
