"So... Fusu is really dead?"

Shimi held the handkerchief and stared blankly at the night, stunned.

"How could my son Fusu die? I actually let him repeat the tragedy of his previous life? How...how could this happen..."

She looked up in despair and laughed at herself

"As a mother, I can't protect my child. I'm really ashamed of him!"

"Empress... you must hold on! Now the entire Qin Dynasty is relying on you. If you fall, it will really mean that I have succeeded in usurping the throne!"

Li Si knelt down and cried bitterly

"Didn't you already follow me? Why are you helping me? Now that I have no real power and Fusu is dead, it is really difficult to support the emperor's grandson to ascend the throne. Why...are you still helping me?"

"Empress, do you still believe what Wei Chen says?"

Li Si burst into tears

"Wei Chen's feelings for Qin and the late emperor are definitely no less than anyone else's. It's hard for Wei Chen to go astray due to a mistake in his thoughts. I don't dare to hold any grudges if I am tainted by the world's diseases a hundred years later. I just hope that the empress can understand Wei Chen's feelings at this moment. My dearest friend, I have always respected and respected the late Emperor. Please believe me..."

Naturally, Shiya dared not believe anyone's words, let alone the words of Li Si, who did not know whether he was an enemy or a friend. She did not respond to Li Si's heartfelt words, but sneered a few times and asked again.

"Where is Meng Tian? Now that Li Xin has been dismissed from his official position, what will happen to Meng Tian?"

"Mengtian..."

Li Si trembled all over and said slowly

"Meng Tian admitted that he failed to protect him and took the blame for the prince's murder on himself. He was also forced by the young master to fight with his younger brother. He committed suicide with a knife at Youshi today..."

Bad news came one after another from former relatives and friends. When Shimi heard that Meng Tian had also gone, she stared empty-eyed at the ink-like night, without saying a word, but tears kept falling.

"My lady..."

Li Si looked at Shimi and lost his soul. Fearing that it would collapse, he called out again:

"Empress...Empress..."

"So, my military strength and Fusu's military strength are all controlled by him? If Meng Yi is to fight against such a huge force, wouldn't it mean that he will die in vain?"

Shikiya looked at Li Si absentmindedly

"If you are really loyal to Da Qin, please tell Meng Yi and Yi Xin to run away for their lives!"

"Escape? What a joke! I am the eldest princess of the Qin Dynasty. Now that the country is in trouble, there is no reason for me to escape!"

Yi Xin rode on the war horse and looked down at Li Si who secretly came to deliver the message, and did not forget to laugh and said:

"I'm not like some people who even lose face in order to protect themselves!"

Li Si's risking his life did not arouse any sympathy from Yi Xin. She and her husband Meng Yi were ready to go to war with Yu's soldiers.

"But...how can the eldest princess fight against the young master with only a hundred thousand soldiers now? Isn't this...going to die in vain?"

Yi Xin responded with a sneer.

"Even if I die, I can't be ashamed of Da Qin. I want to rescue my mother and sister, and avenge my brother. I must kill him with my own hands! Only then can I vent the hatred in my heart!"

"Stop talking nonsense to him, let's go!"

Meng Yi is ready to go.

"The soldiers are still waiting for us to give the order and rush into the Qin Palace to capture the rebels alive!"

"General Meng? You don't even listen to my old minister's advice?!"

Li Si didn't see a good face when he came today. He naturally understood the reason. He felt wrong, so he had to patiently persuade him.

"Even if the young master's troops are sent to suppress the rebels, the remaining troops are still slightly more than yours. Aren't you... looking for your own destruction with an egg against a stone?"

"Lord Xiangguo, please tell the empress and beg her to live no matter what!"

Meng Yi smiled calmly

"As a subject, I cannot watch the country in danger. And as a brother, how can I watch my brother being forced to commit suicide without taking revenge? As a subject and a relative, I will not escape. It's just..."

He looked at Yi Xin

"I want you to accompany me into battle to kill the enemy. Really..."

"No more words!"

Yi Xin responded with a smile.

"During the years we have been together, don't you still understand my temper? If I could die on the same year, the same month and the same day as you, I would have no regrets!"

Xianyang City was destined to be unrest tonight. The sound of fighting outside the high city wall was deafening and resounded throughout the night. The shouts and the sound of thousands of swords firing in unison made Shimi extremely painful!

She couldn't move, but she could only watch her daughter die. Shimiya understood Yi Xin, she was his daughter, how could he not understand her temperament?

How could she escape?

Shimi stared blankly at the looming fire outside the window and shed tears. She was imprisoned in this high wall! She never thought that Qin Palace... would become her prison cell!

How could I be kind to Yi Xin if I had an army in my hands? ! He must kill everyone and kill all the obstacles that prevent him from ascending the throne! He has gone crazy and been swallowed up by power! How could the throne just one step away make him soften his heart? !

"My lady..."

Zhucui and Chu Yueqing took the opportunity to sneak in while the Qin Palace guards sneaked to the high wall to join in the fun due to the battle outside.

"Empress! Now there is a fight outside the Qin Palace. The young master and Zhao Gao must have no time to separate themselves. Let's run away!!"

Chu Yueqing looked emaciated, and her eyes were still dull when he helped her.

"I won't leave... What will Yihua do if I leave? I owe her so much, I can't push her into the fire pit anymore."

"Empress... you should escape first. We all stay in the Qin Palace. We will never let the little princess get hurt!"

Shiki looked up blankly at the two remaining confidants, watching them suffer and lose weight along with him. Chu Yueqing was even more bullied. Just thinking about all this is enough to make Shimi feel heartbroken!

"You run away! Don't worry about me anymore, I want to stay here, and I want to die with you!"

"Your Majesty... if you don't leave now, there will be no chance! We just went to see the young master's womb, but you were heavily guarded, and we couldn't even get closer. You go first... wait until we have the chance, Come and save the princess again!!”

Chu Yueqing begged hard

"Mother... we can't just watch you being killed!"

The three of them couldn't argue. Seeing that the guard was about to come back, Zhucui and Chu Yueqing were even more anxious!

"Mother... let's go quickly!"

"Empress! I beg you as a slave!!"

When the two of them pulled Shimiya and tried to drag her out by force, two familiar figures suddenly fell from the sky!

"Li Xin?"

Everyone was stunned. There was a familiar face beside him that they hadn't seen for a long time!

"Wang...Wang Jian?!"

Shimi stood up in shock

"Wang Jian! Is it really you?"

Wang Jian, who had come from all the travel and dust, rushed into the Qin Palace. He saw Shimi, whom he had not seen for a long time, and he was doing his best as he did for his former ministers.

"Mother...my rescue is too late!"
