It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

When Xu Zhi really turned his back and stepped onto the long steps of Changle Palace again, blood began to seep out of his mouth. A hint of bright color dripped from his collar, staining the two dark purple ribbons.

The Qin guards swore that even though they had been given orders, the long swords and halberds in their hands definitely did not touch him!
As for his appearance, anyone who is not blind can tell that Li Xian was injured before coming to Changle Palace.

The wind blew out from the sleeves.

The wind was so strong that it blew away the layered sleeves of Xu Zhi's robe and the necklaces hanging on her body.

She saw the road in front of Changle Palace piled up at her feet, extending to the end. At the farthest point where it almost disappeared, Ying Zheng was not waiting for her there.

In the coldest air, what finally appeared was the black official uniform and Li Si's official hat, just as she had seen in front of the Zhangtai Palace many years ago.

Xu Zhi didn't meet Li Si's gaze. She had only taken three steps when a deep voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Your Highness Yong'an is like this! This is too much! Lord Li was so respectful and humble, and his act of reporting the will was humiliated by Her Highness the Princess in this way?"

"Brother Tian," Li Xian called him. A quarter of an hour ago, Li Xian heard the imperial edict and didn't feel anything strange until he saw Ying Yuanman.

He then sighed deeply, she was already a master of scheming.

His imprisonment and release were all just part of her plan.

Meng Tian frowned, "You are already so injured, don't talk anymore."

He was dressed in military uniform and spoke sternly. He was always patient with Ying Hehua, but when he saw with his own eyes how she bullied the court officials, he really felt that the rumors had some truth to them.

Thanks to the frequent admonitions of the eldest prince Fusu and the repeated telling from Ying Yuanman that his younger sister was actually kind, he always treated her with brotherly indulgence even though his younger brother Meng Yi showed disgust on his face.

However, just from the bloodstain on Li Xian's face, Meng Tian could sense something different. Many people from the six countries outside wanted to kill Li Xian, and no one would take the opportunity to cut him without slashing his neck.

It was not painful but full of warning meaning, just like a tattoo. It was the work of someone in the palace.

Meng Tian had already identified the culprit in his mind.

She turned around calmly, but with a gentle smile on her face, "Why do you say that, General Meng? I was just waiting for my sister in Changle Palace, but Li Shangqing accidentally broke into Changle Palace..."

She lowered her head, and the blood on the ribbon came into her eyes. Then she knew the reason for Meng Tian's anger. She lowered her eyes. She had only imprisoned him for two days and did not treat him harshly.

How did Li Xian get himself into this state?

Meng Tian ignored her stunned expression and said bluntly, "Your Highness, what you said is absurd. How can Changle Palace allow outsiders to enter without permission? The reason for his accidental entry must be thoroughly investigated. If there are others who instigated or have ulterior motives, they must be severely punished. Please also ask the princess to hand over this case to the Supreme Court for detailed investigation."

Meng Tian returned to the capital from Shangjun and was appointed to the position of Internal History, and his words carried as much weight as Li Si's.

Seeing this, Ying Teng subconsciously looked towards Ying Hehua.

Meng Tian probably didn't know that his marriage with the eldest princess was, to some extent, not the order of Ying Zheng.

"General Meng Tian, ​​Your Highness, please allow me to speak a word." "Li Shangqing has made great contributions to the court, and there may be some hidden truth in this matter, can you temporarily spare his death penalty?"

Ying Teng looked at Ying Hehua again. This little princess had a hard heart since she was young. Although she had become much gentler and kinder under Zhang Liang's teaching, she was as fickle as her father in doing things.

He paused for half a second.

Ying Hehua continued, "Zongzheng is right. But if he is not punished, it may be difficult to convince the people. So he was ordered to reflect on his mistakes for three months and fined half a year's salary as a warning."

She probably couldn't remember that a month ago, she was also involved in the recommendation for Li Xian to be promoted to Shangqing.

Ying Teng couldn't let the situation escalate any further! He also couldn't let anything happen to Li Xianzhen.

Otherwise, Ying Zheng's efforts in letting him preside over the ceremony would be in vain.

After all, along the way from Zhilan Palace to Changle Palace, the Qin guards are not so scarce!
Without Ying Zheng's instruction, how could Li Xian come here injured?
After all, Li Si knew Ying Zheng best.

He must not let his son make a more serious mistake, let alone let him be further dragged into a silent contest. The undercurrents surging between the royal family were something that no minister could withstand. Li Si was also quite puzzled. He had been smart all his life, but his son was so stupid that he was willing to be a pawn in the hands of others without knowing it!

Thinking of this, Li Si had to take this step even if he couldn't bring himself to do so.

Unexpectedly, a sharp, unpleasant voice suddenly came from behind: "Prime Minister Li, please stay."

Zhao Gao, who came from the side hall, immediately chased after him, but saw that Li Si had no intention of stopping. Zhao Gao rushed forward and shouted, "Prime Minister, please don't be impulsive. I'm afraid that you are just like me. Today, I know that the preparations in Changle Palace are not the ceremonies of Princess Yong'an. You should think twice before doing this."

Zhao Gao's implication was very simple: this time, it was Yong'an who angered Ying Zheng first, which led to Ying Zheng's absence.

Li Si didn't think Zhao Gao was so kind.

Zhao Gao continued earnestly, "Prime Minister, in my humble opinion, Princess Yong'an has become much more distant from you since she came back from Chu. When Li Shangqing went to Shu, she trusted guests like Chen Ping. Princess Yong'an's actions may be due to her resentment for the murder of the Zhang family of Han. His Majesty is very clear in his mind. Please don't create any more complications when His Majesty is weighing important matters... and lose the emperor's favor because of trivial matters."

The ceremonial music started playing at the right time, and Ah Zhi leaned over to listen, and the eldest princess's carriage had already arrived at the palace road of Changle Palace.

Ying Teng understood, "General Meng, please come this way."

Meng Tian felt that he was mistaken about the edict that Ying Teng handed to him. Since Ying Hehua was able to escape the marriage with Li Xian, how could she be willing to go to Chu?

Li Xian seemed to have hysteria. Over the years, he always liked to be hurt and used by her, so he didn't feel ashamed to end up like this today.

But he didn't care at all and reminded him, "Brother Tian, ​​don't miss the divination date. The princess should be in Changle Palace soon."

Meng Tian was not a fool. He thought it was not easy for him to get this marriage decree. "…I see that your injuries are serious. His Highness has ordered you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. It would be better for you to go back and recover from your injuries first."

“She’s not done yet.”

When Li Xian said this, he was staring at Zhao Gao.

"What could happen?" Meng Tian actually felt empathy for Li Si. His friend probably had his brain damaged when he was a child. Whenever he met Ying Hehua, he would completely shut down.

"What the Prime Minister said is true. I think you, Jing Qian, really have not changed despite repeated admonitions! If one day, she wants to kill you, what will you do?"

"Then give it to her."

Meng Tian wanted to raise his foot, wishing he could kick him awake.

"Who said that he would leave his life for me to use on the battlefield?"

Every time Meng Tian asked him this jokingly, Li Xian felt like he was electrocuted and repeated the words countless times, each time as sincerely as if he was saying a prayer. No matter what the occasion, he could immediately put in his full energy to express his sincerity.

"If you need me, I will die for you. Even if I have to face the sword, the fire, and the burning, I will sacrifice my life."

……

After staying at the border for many years, Meng Tian cursed, "You... are here again, can you be more auspicious?"

For a long time, Meng Tian really understood his father Meng Wu more and more. Li Si's hamster theory in his early years was well-known. When they said this, they were particularly literary, so they seemed particularly flattering.

Li Xian said nothing and didn't care, with a calm look on his face. He thought to himself, I hope Meng Tian will never know the reason behind these words.

Meng Tian resisted the urge to curse even more. He turned around and saw Yong'an, whom he had been thinking about, watching them from behind. He could not help but let out a long sigh, put down his sword, and followed Ying Teng into Changle Palace.

She really was not a good person, just as his brother said.

She acted as if she didn't notice that Li Xian was injured and walked straight towards him. She paused for a moment, then raised her foot and kicked the other person.

Hit right in the chest.

Meng Tian did not hear what Li Xian whispered to Xu Zhi, nor did he see the crazy smile in his eyes, so he felt that his good friend was really pitiful. (End of this chapter)
