It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

"Your Majesty has probably wanted the princess to leave the palace for a long time, but I don't understand why Your Majesty didn't just say it directly."

“Father can speak frankly, but the Emperor cannot.” Xu Zhi stroked the texture of the lamp handle. “For Father, the power I have lost can never be given to others, especially Li Xian, who is the son of Li Si.”

"But Supervisor Li said that if the princess agreed, he would overcome all difficulties..."

Xu Zhi didn't shy away from the question, "Then it depends on what he can exchange with the emperor and how he can convince Li Si."

"Can't the princess keep her current identity?"

She waved her hand and said to her, "Azhi, things are completely different from seven years ago. I don't want the relationship I initially established with the Li family to fall apart at the most crucial moment. We've come this far... If marriage can strengthen this bond, I'm willing to accept it."

Xu Zhi did not say it was Li Xian.

The implication is that she will no longer resist as long as it can gain political power.

——I can’t afford the gamble.

This is what she said to Li Xian.

She was silent for a moment, then looked up at the picture and text. "I have made many mistakes that I shouldn't have made for one person. This is my responsibility. I should repair these cracks."

Shen Zhi wasn't quite sure what she was referring to, the political event that Li Si did not support Fusu.

Shen Zhi thought about it and finally understood that Ying Hehua's transformation came from that evening.

She cared about what Chen Ping said in the letter.

"The princess is worried about those alchemists saying that Your Majesty is seeking elixirs in the East China Sea, and that the immortal master who appeared is actually someone from the six countries who deliberately did this..."

"A pacified land is not necessarily stable. I will not allow anyone to damage the Great Qin Empire. No one can do that."

Her slender and graceful figure was reflected on the wall by the flickering candlelight, complementing the grass-patterned wall.

It's like an anomaly emerging from the surging plain of history.

At the same time, they heard a sound from the front hall.

Ying Zheng saw his daughter standing in the snow wearing a white velvet cloak.

In front of them was a fire that had turned to ashes. The ashes stretched and coiled on the ground, like a long black dragon with sharp claws, or as if they had split the black and white Tai Chi diagram.

The fire had been extinguished. Li Si saw a water tank next to it and thought that Ying Hehua had been imprisoned for so long that he had become mentally unstable and had come up with such a stupid idea to lure Ying Zheng to meet him.

She was stunned for a moment before kneeling down, "...I didn't know that the emperor was here so late at night. Hehua greets the emperor."

Covered in dust.

Ying Zheng frowned.

He actually hoped that his daughter had deliberately designed to lure him here. If she shed some tears like she did when she pleaded for Zhang Liang before, and promised to stay in Xianyang and not cause trouble, he would probably really release her from detention.

But Ying Zheng saw panic in her eyes.

Seeing her dressed like this reminded Ying Zheng of many years ago, when he heard Zheng Li's female officials say that the little princess was making paper in the palace, assembling benches, lounge chairs, and other strange things...

At that time, she was still young. How could she behave like this now when all the court officials said that she was quite ambitious?
"What experiment are you doing?"

She argued, "Wood ash and lard can be combined to make soap. Soap has a very strong cleaning power and can wash away many kinds of dirt on clothes. I gave some to the palace maids of Queen Mother, and they said it worked very well."

……

She held a gray lump in both hands, as if offering a treasure.

"Is this what you have been trying to tell me these past few months?"

Ying Zheng did not ask her to stand up. His voice was like the water of a cold pond, so calm that no ripples could be heard, but it made the air in the hall suddenly freeze.

The eunuch standing by lowered his head and stared at the cracks between the blue bricks, even breathing very lightly.

Seeing that she was still in the posture of kneeling, Ying Zheng finally leaned forward slightly, and the beads on his crown swayed gently, casting a shadow that just covered her back.

His voice was calm but held a commanding anger. "Is this the result of your reflection?"

Li Si didn't dare to say anything.

During the long silence, even snowflakes fell on her hair.

Humans are just strange like that.

Li Si pondered for a long time, thinking it over and over again, and decided that he should stay out of it and try to extricate himself and his son from the undercurrents between the father and daughter.

But he happened to see a bright color, and the red agate earrings turned out to be Ying Hehua's.

Li Si had wanted to find a wife for Li Xian a long time ago. He first used the excuse that his brother was still unmarried, and later... It's quite funny to say, at that time Wang Wan was still alive. When his little daughter heard that the Chief Justice Li Si was inviting her to a banquet, probably to bring her to the Li Mansion to meet Li Xian, she cried for half a month, saying that she had nightmares when she saw his son. Later, she even found a way to hide in Ying Hehua's Zhilan Palace.

Yao Jia always pretended to be dead in an orderly manner. He took advantage of his drunkenness to talk nonsense and said that it was hard to find someone in the world who was a good match for his nephew.

Li Xian also confidently asserted that his father had an elder brother to carry on the family line, and also Zuo Che, so he wouldn't have to worry about being widowed for life. But then Ying Hehua returned. And this son of his was stubborn, unwilling to let go of the old ways, and willing to hang himself on Ying Hehua alone.

He was determined to go to prison and there was no bringing him back.

How could Li Xian, a believer in Legalism, do such things? Li Si felt that according to Mo Qi's words, his son was both a theist and a mentally ill person.

But he is a father after all.

He did teach Ying Hehua how to be ruthless and eliminate those who were not Qin's.

He was Ying Hehua's first teacher. When she was a child, she begged him never to betray her father. Li Si actually remembered all of these words.

Her father was a student taught by him and Lu Buwei.

Ying Zheng was better than his teacher, but Ying Hehua had no idea.

It is true that she is better at using people than Li Xian. Zhang Han was snatched from him, and Chen Ping was also forcibly pulled from Li Xian to her camp by her.

At this time, Ying Zheng sighed and turned his back.

For the first time, Li Si saw Ying Hehua staring at him with an innocent look, as if begging for mercy.

"Prime Minister Li, I didn't mean to displease my father."

Li Si asked himself to see clearly, but it was extremely complicated.

Finally, he lowered his head.

"...I believe that Your Highness may have lost her composure in a moment of anxiety regarding the incense burning today, but it was definitely not intentional. Your Majesty has only been back in the palace for less than half a day, and the princess may be extremely eager to see Your Majesty. I boldly request that, considering Your Highness's days of worry and gradual relief, you allow her some time to rest. Once her worries are somewhat relieved, she will understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts... As for the item the princess has made, I believe it could be used to inspect military clothing. It can remove blood stains and reduce dirt... I beg Your Majesty to make your decision..."

When Li Si said this, she knew she could trust him.

When the matter of the fourth parade was placed before her and Li Xian.

She was no longer in the mood to calculate too much, as there were too many mysteries before her.

If time is advanced, will events also be advanced?

Zhao Gao was only one of the reasons; the death of Ying Zheng was the starting point of the collapse of the Qin Dynasty.

Facts have proved that if a person is too tense, his spirit will be the first to collapse once an accident happens.

Xu Zhi had just come to her senses that the brother she was taking care of was not a good person, and immediately learned about this matter. She was suddenly stunned and automatically began to recite the document in her mind.

"After passing through the Wu region, we crossed the Yangtze River at Jiangcheng County, traveled north along the coast, and arrived at Langya and Zhifu. My father saw a large fish and immediately shot and killed it with an arrow. Then we continued west along the coast, and fell ill after reaching the Pingyuan ferry crossing. And then..."

"Next time... we will go to the dunes. Why did father ask for the elixir?" she asked.

Li Xian looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Xu Zhi's health has improved a lot. After a long period of depression and anxiety, he felt stuffy in his heart and uncomfortable for a while when he heard about this, and he couldn't help coughing.

He supported her in time, but saw two lines of tears on her cheeks.

"Feng Quji and Feng Jie did nothing wrong, they did nothing to betray Great Qin, they shouldn't bear the consequences. Let's just let the matter of Shangdang pass, okay?"

He was stunned for a moment, "Okay," he said.

"I can't stay in the palace any longer. I want to know what happened to that Immortal Master during his fourth tour."

"I'll check."

He knew that some things could not be delayed any longer, so he had to go to the Xianyang Palace to meet Ying Zheng.

He stepped out of the palace door.

She stopped him and said, "I can't afford to gamble on your father's fate."

She came up with this idea, and Ying Zheng really came to see her.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li is right. But this is only the first thing I want to show you. I know that the people of the six nations are searching for a treasure. If it were to be used by someone with ulterior motives, it would be a disaster."

Ying Zheng didn't ask what the treasure was. "Stand up and talk."

Xu Zhi didn't hide anything and had someone bring out a box. "My daughter used it once, but she didn't know the technique. Now I have the blueprints and I present them to my father."

So, Ying Zheng saw the thing that had caused such a stir decades ago.

That is a weapon other than the sharpest sword in the world.

In the martial arts world, this item was owned by the Mohist sect, and later disappeared after Mozi's death.

The destructive power was so great that it shocked the seven countries.

"Father. The ink-stained sword on Zhongnan Mountain calls it: Pistol." (End of Chapter)
