It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Chapter 515 Quarrel
"Your Highness." Shen Zhi came out from the side, "Your Highness, don't blame the Prime Minister for not understanding you... Over the years, you have been at odds with the Prime Minister and Supervisor Li. Now, why are you actively seeking peace and treating Zhao Fuling as a thorn in your side?"

Xu Zhi felt dizzy when she stood up, fortunately Shen Zhi supported her in time.

"Azhi, do you know? I used to fantasize about the possibility of peace because of Zhang Liang, but reality tells me that at the beginning of the story, it's just a life-and-death struggle."

Shen Zhi was startled, "...Your Highness, have you read the legendary advance book?"

Xu Zhi waved her hand and smiled to herself, "If everything goes according to plan, then there's no point in living." As she spoke, she asked about her aunt and A-yu's trip to Shu.

In Xu Zhi's memory, Ayu was still a child, but in fact, she had reached the age of marriage.

"Miss Ayu's mother said that when she was young, she got a book on medicine written by Bian Que from somewhere. She has been studying it day by day for many years. Unexpectedly, she did not learn the medical skills of treating patients, but she did learn a lot about women's classics and the art of maintaining youth."

Xu Zhi smiled gently, "So that's why. No wonder the pearl powder cream and Centella asiatica cream in my palace are different from those in other places."

It was getting colder in late autumn, and Shen Zhi put a thick robe on her. There were some things she knew she shouldn't say, but she couldn't remain silent. After all, they were the only two people who knew about it.

"Miss Ayu is already a famous female doctor in Shu, and is also someone that the princess can trust. The princess took something very cold many years ago, and later because of the pain, she never stopped taking the medicine, and the princess has never received special care. If you need it, you can summon her to Xianyang."

Xu Zhi said calmly, "No need."

Long steps were piled up in front of her, extending all the way to the palace gate. Dark black lacquered wood stood tall, enveloping her invisibly.

There is one thing that even Shen Zhi doesn't know.

About two years ago, after she came back from Yongcheng, Doctor Xu, who was in charge of her medicine, knelt before her tremblingly and said, "I deserve to die."

After that day, Xia Wuqie came at night.

"Does the princess often feel weak, uneasy, and cough with blood... Her Royal Highness was seriously injured and could not rest. Her Royal Highness toiled day and night, taking tonic medicine burned her body, but the medicine was cold in nature, and the princess's body was affected by the cold evil. If this continues..."

"how?"

"I'm afraid you might be afraid that..."

"Say it all in one breath."

Xia Wuqi had been in the Qin Palace for quite a long time, and had seen many separations and deaths. However, he felt guilty about saying such cruel words to Ying Hehua, the little princess he had taught, who had not yet been engaged. But he did not dare to hide anything. "If the princess continues like this, I am afraid there will be no happiness for her descendants."

"In that case, I won't take medicine anymore."

Xia Wuqie fell to his knees with a thud.

Xu Zhi still respected him, but she was not used to this look of wanting to speak but not being able to, "...I really can't stand you doctors who stutter."

Xia Wuqi knocked his head to the ground and remained silent for a long time. "I think Your Highness should save his life first, then consider other things."

"What do you mean?"

"Your Highness, you can only choose one of the two."

...Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then she finally understood.

"If I... don't continue..." She tried to calm herself down and asked through gritted teeth, "So what you mean is, if I don't take the medicine... I won't live long?"

"Your Highness!" Xia Wuqie kowtowed.

She couldn't explain clearly what she felt, she just felt extremely cold and her heart ached.

After a long time, Xia Wuqie thought he should step back and give her some private space. But he didn't hear her sobbing, and what he heard was her extraordinary rationality, asking him how to prolong her life.

"I will secretly prepare medicine. After a year, the princess will no longer need to take the same pills every day. She only needs to rest well and she will be no different from an ordinary person."

Her eyes were cold as she stared at him, "Don't let anyone else know about this. Do you understand?"

Therefore, later on, no one understood why Ying Hehua was so determined about her marriage, and Xia Wuqie had a self-righteous attitude towards herself.

That night, she locked herself in the palace and locked the door of the inner room.

But in the second half of that night, Yan Yue entered the room and thought she had fallen asleep on the couch, but in fact she had fainted from crying.

It took Xu Zhi a year to accept this fact, and after seeing Zhang Buzhi, he endured heart-wrenching pain.

To her, none of these were as important as the future of the Qin Dynasty, because she didn't know whether she could rest well if she was seriously ill all day long. Therefore, she became more and more anxious, fearing that "time would not wait for me".

Here, Meng Yi had just left the hall when he met a young boy, the ten-year-old Hu Hai.

In the early years, Ying Zheng and Zheng Li were at odds, and there were not many women from the six countries favored by the King of Qin. This Hu Liangren was gentle and beautiful, with superb dancing skills, and attracted quite a lot of attention.

After Zheng Li became the queen, the concubines who had no children were either sent out of the palace or arranged to be ladies-in-waiting. In the past two or three years, there has been no news of any intrigue in the harem. Everyone praised the queen for her generosity and the concubines for their obedience, which was a blessing for the country.

When you add it up, the emperor does not have many children. Including Ying Yuanman, there are no more than ten in total.

Although Hu Hai was the youngest son of the emperor, he had a low presence compared to his older brothers and sisters. From the perspective of outsiders, the one who had the most contact with him was Ying Hehua. Over the years, whenever she had time, she would ask Meng Yi, who often entered the palace, to bring something to her younger brother... Zhuangzi's books, Zhou Li allusions, and even a bunch of agricultural books.

Meng Yi didn't know that Hu Liangren and Ying Hehua had reached an agreement many years ago. Ying Hehua herself was unreasonable, but she dreamed that her younger brother would develop a brotherly and respectful character, and be well-educated and well-mannered.

However, after all these years, she has really succeeded.

Chunyu Yue said more than once that the young master Hu Hai would be as gentle and elegant as the eldest son in the future.

Hu Hai inherited his mother's charming and beautiful appearance. His eyes were slightly raised, his eyebrows were relaxed, and he bowed to Meng Yi. "Meng Tingwei, I heard that Sister Yong'an is back. I really want to visit her, but I can't see her."

The palace maid knelt forward and picked up the food box.

Meng Yi wanted to refuse.

He raised his head slightly and spoke in an almost humble tone, "No one in the palace can help me. Although my elder sister is strict with me, after my elder sister came back, I finally have someone to talk to. Can you help me send it to my elder sister?"

Just as Meng Yi was about to reach out his hand, he heard a scolding.

The older Gongzi Gao stepped over and asked, "Brother Hai, what are you doing?"

Hu Hai's hand holding the handle trembled slightly, "..."

Meng Yi took it, and the fifteen-year-old boy frowned. Gongzi Gao glared at him fiercely.

The food box was placed on the table in Zhilan Palace. As soon as the plum blossom-shaped pastry was brought out, it was immediately met with a cold stare from Ying Hehua.

When she saw the stack of cakes, she remembered the bite she had taken on the way back to Xianyang, which made her stay in bed for ten days. This kind of poisoning was most likely the work of Zhao Gao.

When she saw the similar pastry and learned that it was given to him by Hu Hai, her tone suddenly turned cold, "Meng Yi, what do you mean?"

"I have come to visit the princess."

She looked at the arrangement again and was furious. "Are you cursing me to death too?"

Meng Yi was stunned. He had never seen Ying Hehua place the sacrifices. He just felt that she was unreasonable. Not everyone could tolerate all her bad tempers like some people did.

"I have absolutely no such intention." Meng Yi lowered his head and handed a piece of cake to her.

Xu Zhi knocked it away with his backhand, "I don't want to eat it."

The plum blossom cake rolled on the ground for several rounds, falling in a very ugly manner.

"Even if the princess doesn't want to eat it, you can't throw it on the ground." He bent down, picked up the cake and put it on the table.

Xu Zhi frowned.

After Xu Zhi returned to the palace, she was in a low mood when she saw the things sent by Ayu. It was even more difficult for her to get rid of Zhao Gao in the palace. Ying Zheng was still busy with the war with the Huns these days, so could he only postpone it until after the construction of the Great Wall?

Xu Zhi couldn't afford to waste this time and energy. She was the kind of person who was sometimes like a snail. After failing at the hands of Li Si today, she wanted to shrink herself back.

She could have told Meng Yi directly that Zhao Gao wanted to harm her on the way, but she didn't say that.

"Take it away." "I can't stand this thing."

"I thought the princess should repent and repent, but I didn't expect her to be so evil."

Meng Yi's misunderstanding of her had not been for a short time, and she suddenly became furious.

"I have nothing to confess."

He smiled and tried his best to speak in a soothing tone, "Prime Minister Li is waiting for the princess to come and apologize."

Xu Zhi's voice suddenly became sharp, "I said, I didn't hurt Li Xian's eyes... Haha, anyway, I don't have a good reputation. What if I don't go? Will the Prime Minister and Meng Tingwei arrest me and put me in jail?"

As she spoke, she stood up, took a step forward, and stepped quite hard on the debris on the ground.

"It's unreasonable," he said.

She stood in front of Meng Yi, looking down at him, staring into his brown eyes. "I am unreasonable. I am just bad to the core. So what?"

She forgot all her filter for Meng Yi for a moment, leaned down and grabbed his collar, "Master Meng really hates me, so don't come to my house. It will save me the trouble. But if you make me angry, I'm afraid I might hurt you by accident."

How could that beautiful face with a flower ornament between the eyebrows utter such arrogant words?

Meng Yi hadn't been so angry for a long time, and he was so irritated by Ying Hehua that his veins were throbbing.

"Princess, you are lawless. You should be careful of the consequences. If it weren't for my brother and sister-in-law's warning, I would never come here!"

"That's great, get out of here right now!"

As Meng Yi stepped out of the palace gate, his heel made a bang and the lacquer tray fell to the ground, smashing into pieces.

Shen Zhi hadn't seen Ying Hehua lose her temper for such a long time. It was Meng Yi who had quarreled with her. In other words, it was good for her to be emotional. She was afraid that if she suppressed it for a long time, she would have mental problems.
