It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Chapter 520: In the Dark, Heaven and Earth Are in a Hurry

After a deep dream, when he woke up, the gate of the mansion was clear. Li Xian had become numb to the recurring torture of nightmares, but there had never been a day like last night, when the guilt, cruelty and coldness of the past made him feel like he was falling into the abyss.

At this moment, what he heard was not her abandonment or threat, but comfort. This was beyond his understanding of human nature.

Last night, the man in black sat brazenly in the pavilion, and took the wine from the table. "It's sweet and mellow, and refreshing, and it pierces the throat. Ying Hehua is right. Lord Li's mansion really has some immortal products. It's a pity that the little Princess Yong'an said that you shouldn't drink now, so I'll drink it all for you."

The wind blew, and the gauze covering Li Xian's eyes trembled slightly. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, and he turned to the man in black: "You pretended to be a great witch and mixed in with the pedestrians who were watching me. You drank my wine and talked about my tea. I think Taoist Huangshi has a lot of free time now that he is no longer looking after your chief disciple."

"How can I be so free?" Huang Shigong smiled. "I told you to stay in Zhuzhang Island and not go out, but you didn't listen. Mo Qi's efforts were wasted. Now, Yongan has used Ren Xiong to look for me. I can't go anywhere else. Why don't I come to your house to take shelter?"

As he spoke, Huang Shigong's eyes darkened and he threw the wine cup in his hand away with force.

In a flash, the wine cup was placed steadily on the table.

Huang Shigong glanced at him and said, "Oh, you should say that Lord Li is pretending, but there are so many flaws. No wonder Meng Yi left so easily. You see, you neither want to treat yourself nor tell me what is written in the secret scroll that Yongan brought out from the cave. Even if I have the River Map in my hand, without Tang Zhipei's secret scroll, I don't know what it means. But you see, Yongan is forcing me to cure you now. I don't even know the pathology, what can I do?"

Huang Shigong was once a member of the royal family of Qi. Meng Yi's grandfather was from Qi. Tian Dan wanted to use the back door of the Meng family but failed. Huang Shigong and Meng Yi's grandfather were old friends.

Why does Li Xian know it so clearly?
It is heartbreaking to say that after Meng Tian committed suicide in the previous life, Zhao Gao asked someone to find a clue about Huang Shigong from Qi, and used treason to implicate Meng Yi, who was the then Chief Justice, and who was unjustly killed.

Unexpectedly, this time by chance, Xu Zhi and he met Huang Shigong in Kuaiji County.

In fact, he admitted that when he found out that he had mistakenly entered Zhang Liang's residence in the bamboo forest, he had thought of using the secret guards to kill him.

However, Zhang Liang's master turned out to be Huang Shigong. What was even more unexpected was that Huang Shigong knew the name Tang Zhipei. Li Xian was sure that he must be Mo Qi's old friend.

Thanks to Mo Qi, Li Xian cooperated with Xu Zhi and hid Zhang Liang's existence from Fusu.

"I will explain this to her. Since the Qi royal family has presented the River Map to your majesty, and you are not a Chu person, even if you cannot produce the secret scroll, your majesty will allow you to return to Kuaiji County."

"I would like to thank Lord Li for showing mercy on my behalf." Huang Shigong placed the gourd on his waist on the table and poured wine into it. His eyes fell on the bloodstained bamboo slips and he sighed, "Look at your condition. You are no different from Brother Zhipei back then."

Mo Qi left without saying goodbye.

Is it...

Li Xian stared at Huang Shigong, and his voice rang out again at the right time.

"...When I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that Yong'an was gentle in appearance but so cruel in character. You..." He paused and smiled, "That's all. It's a pity that the oracle that Brother Zhipei has painstakingly preserved for decades has never seen the light of day. There is no trace of your blindness except the River Map."

"Hehua's actions are not what they seem."

"Yes." Huang Shigong waved his hand, "I have decided not to be in the mortal world anymore. I don't want to ask any more questions."

Huang Shigong's ears twitched and he heard footsteps on the covered bridge.

Huang Shigong's smile faded, and he sat up straight, raising his hand to stop. "There are too many people here, so I can't stay for long."

After saying this, Huang Shigong turned around, climbed onto the wall, and disappeared in an instant.

To have practiced martial arts to this level at such an old age means that half of one's mind and character has entered the realm of Taoism.

There are also people from Zhao Gao visiting today.

"Master Li, the Red Stone Curse is a secret method of the Chu people. It is not so easy to eliminate."

The eunuch was his confidant, and he was a little scared at first.

But he saw Li Xian sitting alone in the courtyard, and he was indeed seriously injured. He was pale and there were blood stains on his cuffs. He looked at Li Xian again and saw that he was cursed. In addition, Ying Hehua was now under house arrest in Zhilan Palace and was not on good terms with Li Si.

His morale naturally increased.

"Master Li, think about it. Your brother has married Princess Shuman. General Wang Ben will go to the south, Yao Shangqing is unemployed at home, and Meng Tian is still with Princess Chang and is going to Shangjun. Why don't you make a concerted effort? If this good opportunity is lost, there will be as many talented and learned people in the world as the stars in the sky. It is hard to guarantee that Master Zhang's incident will not happen again..."

"Mr. Zhao specifically asked you to come and remind me?"

"Yes."

Even if he can't be seen, he is still the usual cold and stern Li County Supervisor.

The eunuch's knuckles turned white as he pinched the bamboo slips. "The Emperor, Lord Zhao, and Prime Minister Li all know about Lord Yan Le's incident. Lord, you have repeatedly evaded responsibility for Yong'an, and have committed a serious crime under Qin law. Lord Zhao has already... "

"Master Zhao is too impatient." He curled his lips and said calmly, "How do I know that Master Zhao won't do something like abandoning the donkey after it has done its work?"

The tone was still gentle, but it was cold to the bone. The eunuch didn't know the key point of his words. "Well, our masters have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. As long as Master Li..."

At this point, someone suddenly interrupted. "Lord Li. Magistrate Lu..."

Lu Ze rode a hundred miles at night, all the way from Nanzheng County, and came here in person.

"I know that you are a great doctor, and you have learned the true teachings of Bian Que. Please save my nephew Aying."

There are at least ten famous doctors in the world, how come he was the one?
The eunuch's mind suddenly brightened up. Their Lord Zhao was truly a man of great foresight.

"Since Lord Li has important matters to attend to, I will come to visit you another day." He put down a delicate bottle, "This is the thing that His Majesty the Emperor used to plan Han Fei's plan. There is only one in the world. I hope Lord Li can see the sincerity of our Lord Zhao. And take the time to think about our Lord Zhao's difficulties."

There were only three breath-holding pills. He spent ten years of his own efforts, using Bian Que's Ganoderma lucidum and the first snow of Mount Zhongnan, to make this life-saving medicine.

Li Xian opened the silver bottle and saw the pills inside were bright red, which were indeed made by him.

Although he made it, Li Xian presented two pills to Ying Zheng to win his trust. One was given to Han Fei, who did not use it, and the other was used on Zhang Liang.

He had the remaining one to cure his vomiting blood disease, but Ying Hehua happened to be in trouble in Bolingsha. At that time, she could not eat and drink, and was in a nightmare. Lian Xia Wuqie was helpless. So he decomposed it in the agarwood.

I don’t know how Zhao Gao got the other one. His gift was a bit too generous to show his sincerity.

The woman wrapped her headscarf around her neck and kowtowed to the ground. "I beg you to save Ah Ying."

Liu Ying was twelve years old at the time and suddenly fell seriously ill, his life was in danger.

He was lying on the bed, half of the bed was covered with vomited black blood, and his body was almost like a piece of paper.

-

The porcelain on the ground was smashed to pieces, and the witch stared at Zhaorong, who was out of control.

"Ying Hehua returned to Qin safely this time, all because the Taoist Huang Shigong was not trustworthy. In order to prevent those unused royal family members of the six countries from becoming the next Zhang Liang, we must get rid of them first."

"Zhao Gao has received so much inside information from us over the years, and gradually gained the trust of Ying Zheng. He was also able to survive from Lu Buwei's hands. Now that he knows that Ying Hehua is not polite, he should take the initiative."

Zhao Rong smiled and stroked the long hair of Mi You, who was curled up beside her, as if comforting a child. "Don't be afraid, my king. I will help you take back your throne and your kingdom. Our people will never forget the shame of losing our country, and we will never be willing to live under the yoke of others. Ah Yue, it's time for you to go to Xianyang to see how miserable Yong An is. If she obeys, you will reward her with a pill. If not, you will drag a few people to be buried with her."

Yan Yue ignored everything in this abandoned cold palace.

She didn't answer and disappeared silently.

-

It was daybreak, and after only a few hours' rest, he could already see the fiery robe from afar.

Ganquan Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager. The tall palace walls stand majestically, with flying eaves and animals all over it. It is magnificent and no different from the cold palace.

The bluestone bricks, which are more than ten feet square, are arranged neatly and extend into the distance with no end in sight. When people step on them, they suddenly feel extremely small.

The five or six maids beside her were holding something in their hands. "Since it's just an inquiry, why does the princess have to be so fussy?"

"Master Meng arrived on time."

"It's not too late, Your Highness." He handed the red lacquer box to Shen Zhi intact. "If you just want to ask about the past of Changping, you can just go to the History Museum. Why go to so much trouble?"

"Thank you, Lord Meng, for cooperating with me last night. I don't believe any records except what the Imperial Grandmother said." She raised the silk in her hand, "My father agreed to let me use this. Now, as long as the Imperial Grandmother speaks up, once my father arrives, he will be finished."

"...If the Empress Dowager had not made it clear,"

She smiled, "That's okay. Last night, you and I went to the Li residence, and someone will come today. The eunuch wanted to bribe the court officials. What is the crime of this matter in the court of the Supreme Court?"

Meng Yi was speechless, "But, I still have a doubt. Why is the princess so sure of Zhao?"

Xu Zhi covered his mouth and shook his head. "Master Meng, after the matter is done, I will tell you the cause and effect one by one. You only need to remember one thing, this person wants to kill me. In Chu, he wanted to use someone else to kill me."

"…The matter was not accomplished, and the princess could not explain herself clearly, which added to her crime."

"Why are you being so fussy?" She stood on the step as high as him and smiled at him. "After this is over, I will make sure you and Li Xian finish the wine you didn't drink last night. If we can put aside our past grudges, I think Dun Ruo and Wang Wan will be very happy if they know about it in the afterlife."

Ying Hehua and Meng Yi had not yet reached the gate of Ganquan Palace.

"Princess! Princess! The Queen has suddenly fallen ill, and the Imperial Physician has ordered that... without the legendary Bian Que medicine, she may not survive the night!"

Xu Zhi's fingertips trembled violently, and the object in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
