It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Chapter 513 Who said the heir must be chosen from among the young masters?
Fusu gave his sister enough confidence in front of his ministers.

In his eyes, her previous arrogant behavior was just a minor one, until this incident. Although his sister was arrogant, she would not kill innocent people...

He got on the car, took a deep breath, and was about to speak.

I saw my sister pulling together the white cloak that she had just put on her shoulders, trying to cover the blood on her body.

Fusu took the servant's wet towel and wanted to wipe her, but he saw her fierce look. It was obvious that she had killed someone herself, and he didn't know where there was so much dissatisfaction and melancholy in her eyes.

During the years that Zhang Liang had been away, she had been deeply influenced by Li Si and others in Xianyang.

I don't know where she learned this act of kneeling down and begging for mercy. To put it nicely, she is flexible, to put it bluntly, she is a scoundrel.

Fusu's tail tone sank, "I know you are dirty on purpose."

She pouted, thinking that he, as her brother, really understood her. So she took the handkerchief from his hand and wiped it while talking.

"I was doing quite well in promoting agricultural tools with my father, and he even wanted me to learn some taxation principles from Prime Minister Li, but I didn't know that Zhao Gao was against me. I ran to the wilderness in a rage and encountered bandits. I ran all the way and accidentally entered the bamboo forest..."

Zhao Gao... Fusu suddenly remembered that his father set out overnight, and the secret letter on the desk had Zhao Gao's private seal on it - did Zhao Gao deliberately make his sister disappear?
Fusu thought, "Ren Xiong must have come here for a reason. Since he found something suspicious in the bamboo forest, if he investigates it, he can clear your name. How can you burn it?"

"If someone is determined to harm me, those rumors will spread no matter what." She suddenly grabbed his sleeve, "Brother, can you bear to watch me being thrown into Xianyang Prison?" When she raised her face, tears were in her eyes and her blood-stained hair hung down to the side of her face.

His sister huddled in his outer robe, revealing a rare look of sadness and timidity... Even though she killed people so indiscriminately, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh and critical of her.

"You knew you would be imprisoned. How could you get into such trouble?" His eyes darkened and he glanced out the window. "Did Li Xian instigate you?"

After hearing this, Xu Zhi realized that Fusu still couldn't completely agree with them.

For Xu Zhi, she didn't know how many copies of "Historical Records" Mo Qi had published, so she couldn't reveal any content about it.

There are unknown dangers buried under the deep sea. If the temperature of Daqin rises slightly like an iceberg, the underwater volcano will erupt in milliseconds and burn everything to ashes.

Now, she no longer has the only copy of Huangshigong in her hands... Not everyone can bear the cruel ending. Li Xian is still often insane even after digesting it.

Fusu's dark eyes were like stars. But since he returned to Xianyang from the army, his eyes were mixed with some of their father's demeanor, as if he saw through her completely with just one look.

She thought that since Li Xian and Chen Ping were not far from the carriage, Fusu would naturally ask them.

What she had to do now was to find a way to resolve the book burning issue.

Xu Zhi couldn't give up Li Xian's position in the inner court, so she decided to retreat in order to advance. She raised her head, smiled at Fusu, and said arrogantly, "How can he teach me? But after he became blind, he is more interesting than before. Anyway, he can't go to court for a while. If Prime Minister Li is willing to lend him to me..."

Should we say she is heartless or cold-blooded... Fusu doesn't know how Li Xian's eyes were injured, but it should be related to Ying Hehua. Even though she is a royal princess, Fusu absolutely forbids his sister to be so naughty.

Fusu had a headache because she was actually laughing when he rebuked her in a deep voice, "If you think Li Xian is capable of great use, I will reluctantly give him to you." Xu Zhi put the handkerchief that had been wiped with blood aside and lowered her voice, "Anyway, I'm going to prison soon and may not be able to come back..."

His voice suddenly softened, and he reached out to tidy up her messy hair, but stopped when he touched the blood in her hair. "Because of you, the emperor hurried back to Xianyang. This time when you go back, you must not anger the emperor again... Especially regarding the people of the six countries, as well as Fan Kuai and Liu Bang who accompanied you, you must deal with them properly. I think it's better to leave them in Kuaiji."

Xu Zhi hugged his arm, raised her head slightly, and said sullenly: "Brother, you know, no matter what the 'suspicious thing' Ren Xiong found in the bamboo forest is, I am guilty of not reporting it. Even if the scrolls are still there, those prophecies of 'the fall of Qin' will not let me go."

She knew people better than he did, and still does today.

Yes. Going back to Xianyang obediently would not necessarily allow her to escape unscathed. Considering the rumors spreading within the court, even if she did not go through the process of burning books and killing people, she would still be scolded to death by the doctoral officials.

She pushed further and clasped her wrists together, "Rather than letting Yan Le take me back, it would be better for me to be sent back by my brother."

There was much rain in Kuaiji County, and the wind was strong, so the lights inside the car were flickering.

He looked at her and sighed, "Hehua, I'm here to take you home. Just burn the letter."

It doesn’t matter whether she can understand other people’s minds or not. What matters is that she understands what Ying Zheng is thinking.

The so-called book of prophecy, in his eyes, is nothing more than a thing to mislead people.

Xu Zhi had not yet recovered from the joy of successfully persuading Fusu.

However, with a bang, the loud noise of the car body suddenly rushed into the eardrum!

The bamboo forest swayed, the wind blew, and Huang Shigong never showed up. The contents of the Records of the Grand Historian are no longer a secret.

Xu Zhi shuddered, like a frightened bird.

She didn't know that Fusu brought not assassins but well-trained soldiers. The Qin army surrounded the chariot tightly with layer after layer.

She had instinctively grabbed Fusu's sleeve and pulled it out, but when she remembered Yan Le, she stopped and let go of his sleeve. "After the bamboo forest fog barrier was cleared, Madam Rong must have deployed many assassins to kill me."

Outside the carriage, the sound of swords and knives continued.

Fusu quickly grabbed her as she was about to leave the carriage. "Don't go out."

But people's instinctive stress will make her senses grow.

The scene in Bolingsha that year replayed in her mind endlessly. The mental trauma and physical injuries repeatedly reminded her of that day. She felt like she couldn't breathe, her teeth chattered uncontrollably, and her upper and lower jaws collided with a tiny clattering sound.

"...It's too easy to attack on the parade route, and Kuaiji is dangerous." "Their target is me and Li Xian...Brother, don't come...to get involved in this mess."

She struggled, and her panic-stricken look hurt him.

Fusu tried his best to calm her down, but found that she was breathing heavily and her body was shaking and trembling uncontrollably.

"It's okay Hehua. It's okay."

"It turned out that the wheel was stuck in the mud, causing the breaking sound. I thought..." She stopped here and refused to continue.

"Don't be afraid. I will protect you."

She finally felt the warmth of his hand on hers.

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it was only a moment.

There was a magic about Fusu that made people feel at ease. Soon, she followed her father's habit and fell asleep with the blade in her arms.

The sounds of killing outside had not stopped, but Fusu sat calmly in the car until Ren Xiong came to report.

"My Lord, the scoundrels in Chu have been cleared out, and the wheel tracks have been repaired. Are we ready to set off?"

The curtain swung slightly, and he waved his hand. Fusu got off the car and looked at Li Xian, who had his eyes covered. He had lost his usual fierce and gloomy look and looked somewhat docile. Now he bowed his head and knelt on the ground, "I have brought disaster to the people of Chu and disturbed the prince. I deserve to die."

Xu Zhi didn’t know what they talked about. When she woke up again, she was wearing the princess’s gown again.

The wheels moved slowly forward.

A maid held a sandalwood food box in her hand, "The princess has finally woken up. The eldest son said that the princess must be hungry."

The food box was opened, and plum blossom-shaped snacks were neatly stacked.

I don't know when it started, but she doesn't like sweets.

The maid said that this was specially prepared for her by Fusu.

She nodded. This looked much better than the one she had made before. She couldn't resist the delicateness of this pastry, with its snow-white pastry and even the patterns on the pistil that were carved to perfection.

She took a light bite.

That night, the secret letter was delivered to Zhao Gao.

He smiled. He was not in a hurry to get rid of Ying Hehua. He just wanted her to suffer.

The court in Xianyang was experiencing a large-scale discussion on the existence of the "Book of Foresight" and prophecies.

The government was far more treacherous than Xu Zhi had imagined. And with her frequent actions over the past ten years, she had become an extremely important part of it.

For example, Yao Jia. I don't know if he was drunk or had a brain attack, but he actually said publicly, "The queen has two children. Our emperor has done a lot of things that have changed the world. Who said that the heir must be chosen from among the princes?"

But Ying Hehua did not go to Zhangtai Palace immediately after returning to Xianyang.

It is said that she contracted an epidemic disease on the way and became unwell.

She returned to the palace with her brother and was immediately questioned by Ying Zheng.

This is inevitably seen as a means of "retreat to advance".

As a result, such discussions became more widespread in private.

[Princess Yong'an was detained in Chu because of the "Preliminary Book" and had ulterior motives, which was exactly the disaster that the witch god had said would lead to the demise of Qin], and there were also rumors that [brother and sister turned against each other] were rampant.
