It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Chapter 565: Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, Becoming His Enemy (4)

Yunyou Palace was more lively than she had imagined.

Just as Xu Zhi stepped out of the palace gate, he saw Tian Dan's carriage.

Ever since she knew that Huang Shigong was once a prince of Qi, it was easy for her to understand what the people of Qi were holding.

Before leaving, she glanced at the Immortal Master who was still sitting behind the screen, then smiled and said to Xu Fu, "Don't be offended, Master Xu. I have always enjoyed meeting guests and am quite curious. I didn't get much out of our conversation just now. I know that the Immortal Master and Master Xu are helping my father solve his problems, and I deeply agree with that."

Xu Fu frowned, but his expression changed in an instant, with a hint of hypocritical confusion.

"Oh. Your Highness actually approves? ... But I have heard that you spoke unkindly to us in front of His Majesty."

Xu Zhi was waiting for him to say this, listening to those court officials who disagreed with Xu Fu's request for medicine, including Li Xian's people.

Xu Zhi smiled, "How could that be? You might have misheard. I witnessed miraculous things when I was young, and it's not easy to remain safe until now. Seeking immortality and asking for the Way, those without destiny will not believe, but I do have some kind of destiny with you two."

Xu Fu asked tentatively, "Then, Princess, could you please speak a few good words to the Emperor about my second voyage?"

"Of course."

Xu Zhi was eager for Xu Fu to make such an outrageous request for three thousand boys and girls.

She couldn't let the so-called immortal master's weird stories and elixirs ruin Ying Zheng's health.

Before arriving at Yunyou Palace, she had already called upon the secret chamber to set up a trap for herself.

But Xu Fu was not a fool. While he was slightly surprised, he seemed to suddenly understand something.

Ying Hehua has the power of prophecy. Her attitude is so gentle and abnormal - either she is making plans in advance... or she also wants to get the legendary elixir of immortality, or she wants to offer the medicine to Ying Zheng to please her father.

"If the alchemists and immortal masters need anything, please let me know. I will do my utmost to help my father."

She raised her finger and pointed at the immortal master behind the scene, smiling, "I like the immortal master's mirror very much."

There was an extremely beautiful halo hanging in those dark eyes, which made him feel uneasy.

Yunyou Palace is separated from Yuelin Palace by a road and ten miles away. Yuelin Palace is no longer prepared for one person. Ying Zheng treated Xunzi with courtesy. After Xunzi died of illness in Baqiao Palace, he rebuilt Yuelin Palace into a meeting place for Confucian scholars of Qi.

Today, Tian Dan came to Yuelin Palace to visit Sikong Ma, but saw Ying Hehua in Yunyou Palace.

"Your Highness, please stay."

Xu Zhi stood on the steps and asked Shen Zhi to wait on the side.

Tian Dan said, "I heard that Your Highness has submitted a petition requesting to extend the construction of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum and strongly supports its funding. I overheard something that I think the princess should take to heart."

"Sir, you are being too polite. If you hadn't spoken up for me when I was imprisoned, Supervisor Li and I might not have been released so quickly."

"Speaking of Supervisor Li, there's something I'm confused about."

At that time, she told Li Xian that there was a possibility that Tian Dan would plead for mercy.

If she believed, as she said, that Tian Dan was sentimental about being in Yongcheng and that she had let him go, then she would be a complete fool.

His father, King Tian Jian, died in his fiefdom. That day, when she was welcoming Wang Ben at the city gate, she heard that the people of Qi lost their country without a fight, and many members of the royal family survived. The King of Qi's beloved son was taken hostage to Qin. Everyone held hands and told her about the tragedy.

Tian Dan followed his father's wishes and said he was willing to offer the national treasure and be a prisoner for the rest of his life just to save the lives of his clan members.

If time goes back ten years, Xu Zhi would definitely sigh that Tian Dan had a difficult life when he heard this, and might even think that he was another Yan Dan, hoping that he could live a more comfortable life in Xianyang.

But he should never have found a person who should not have been there to be his advisor.

She used to think that Zhang Liang used the pseudonym Song Lan to cover up for Tian Dan in order to seek protection for the Zhang family.

But he didn't lose his memory.

So, in Kuaiji County, he remembered everything.

Many years ago, when they were in Chengfu, she had jokingly told Zhang Liang about the world beyond the East China Sea, across the Pacific Ocean...

It was not difficult for Xu Zhi to think that Xu Fu's voyage to the sea was a trap set up by him and Tian Dan.

"What is there to be confused about, sir?" She lowered her eyes, somewhat domineering.

Tian Dan no longer had the arrogance he had in Yongcheng, but his sentences still carried the arrogance of the past.

He snorted and said sarcastically, "Your Highness and Supervisor Li had a long friendship when they were young. You once sacrificed your own flesh and blood for him and recommended him for a high position. You supported him all the way to the present, and yet Your Highness has turned against you?"

Hearing this, she paused.

She suddenly realized that after so many years, she didn't know much about the network of relationships that Li Xian had formed with people from the six countries.

For example, this Tian Dan. He was only a few years older than her, but now he had a stubbled beard, a yellow and white dress, and his hair was tied up in a hat.

In the second year after unification, his father Wang Tian Jian died.

This is the last year of the three-year mourning period.

"Young Master, you have sharp eyes and ears. You even know everything that happened between me and the Supervisor in prison. But don't you think you're crossing the line a bit when you say this? If you didn't know, you'd think you had a close relationship with Supervisor Li."

He smiled, "If you're asking on behalf of someone else, it's true. My younger sister originally lived alone with her mother in Zhao, and during the chaotic times, she had a close relationship with the Inspector."

Tian Xi's brother is no different from Yan Dan in the past. The difference is probably that the former is used more directly.

"Oh. Come to think of it, I'd completely forgotten. Supervisor Li is now acting as the supervisor. Life in Mount Li is hard. If your sister is truly concerned, could I talk to father and have her stay with the supervisor?"

For Tian Dan, an informant far away from Xianyang was of little use.

There was an emotionless smile on Ying Hehua's face.

He originally thought that Ying Hehua regarded Li Xian as her own, but he didn't expect that Li Xian was just an insignificant official to her. If she needed benefits, she could just send him to another woman.

According to the information he had obtained, her widowhood was not ordered by Ying Zheng, but her own request.

For princes and nobles like Tian Dan, in their eyes, even if they were concubines or princesses, they were just women. If a woman was unwilling to remarry, it was most likely because of her tragic love.

At this moment, he was looking at her with scrutiny, just like Zhao Jia.

He was clearly mocking and joking, but his tone was surprisingly sincere.

"Could it be that there is someone in your heart that you can't let go of?"

He almost blurted out and asked her if it was because of the counselor he had when he was in Yongcheng, and if the person she loved was her former tutor?
Tian Dan waited for her excuses, her dejection, her sorrow, her absent-mindedness. But instead, he heard the woman casually ask, "What can't you let go of?"

She smiled. "They say a son is like his father. You and the King of Qi are similar, and I am no exception. However, I am not like my father, who is so magnanimous. I prefer to respect the wise and humble."

She looked at her palms, turned them over and clasped them together, her tone of voice carrying a hint of casual playfulness.

"There are so many people in my heart that I can't even count them on one hand."

"You," Tian Dan was speechless, his words were so casual on that smiling face.

After his sarcasm failed, Tian Dan realized that he was a believer in Confucianism.

"Your Highness the Princess has behaved so recklessly. No wonder Mr. Chunyu was overwhelmed and asked the Princess to find another good teacher."

Her eyes grew colder. "Yeah. So if you can't teach me well, you either give up early or die."

Tian Dan frowned.

"Your Highness, are you implying that if officials are not useful to the Princess, they should be killed?" He paused for a second. "Is Meng Yi also doing this?"

She chuckled, "Meng Yi's ancestor was from Qi. He asked you to do something for him. I know all this."

……

"Ying Hehua..."

"Sir, do you really think offering the River Map will protect you forever?"

Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and Tian Dan suddenly felt uneasy.

In a millisecond, that sharp, warning look disappeared.

She just continued to speak in a flat tone, looking at his clothes as if he was an idiot and sneering at him.

"Although you harbored ill intentions, you truly listened to Meng Yi and spoke well of me to my father when I was in trouble. Since you are still in mourning, please observe your filial duty and use your brain."

Among all the nations, Tian Dan would never find another woman as straightforward as her.

Should we say that she is honest and open, or is she arrogant and naughty to this extent?

She glanced at Yunyou Palace and said, "Well, the Immortal Master and the Taoist Priest have asked me to do something. I have to go see my father now."

All that was left for him was the crimson back.

To Xu Zhi, an enemy like Tian Dan who directly expressed his dissatisfaction was far less dangerous than a hyena lurking in the dark.

"Princess."

She stepped onto the carriage.

Shen Zhi whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, everything has been arranged with Lu Heng."

"That's good."

Since Xu Fu has already appeared, she should create a Lu Sheng before Li Si comes up with the book burning fallacy.

"...Young Master Dan and Tian Xi."

Xu Zhi was silent for a moment. "Meng Yi told me the other day that Prince Dan had hidden silk and concealed the amount, and was trying to stir up trouble in Yongcheng. He was afraid that my father would send them to Yongcheng and kill them all. He sent himself to us so that his youngest son could stay in Linzi."

"Meng Yi is not without his ancestor, who is pleading for the Tian family. But," she stared blankly at the Boshan furnace on the table, "if it were possible... if I had worked a little harder on the matter, they clearly wouldn't have died."

"Your Highness..."

"I don't want anyone to follow in the footsteps of Yan Dan and Zhao Jia," she said.

Xu Zhi thought about what happened over the past two years.

Tian Dan is in Yongcheng.

Huang Shigong was in Kuaiji.

Zhao Gao schemed to make her mother seriously ill...

Zhang Liang was involved in all these events.

She was as stupid as a pig. Why didn't she dare to think more? It wasn't that he was stimulated to remember the past, but that he had never forgotten it.

She was still frightened by the enclosed compartment and couldn't breathe.

She suddenly remembered what he had said in Handan: "Young Master Jia and I are the ones who have been left behind. We are on the same path."

She suddenly realized that she was drunk in Kuaiji, and who had been hit by the slap that had clearly been thrown out and disappeared.

As a son, I can't save my father's life.

As a father, there is no way to keep your children with you.

This is Tian Dan, and also Zhang Liang.

Her heart was pounding, mixed with so many ridiculous things. She was unwilling to accept it, but there was nothing she could do.

Zhang Liang frequently provoked trouble and was determined to be an enemy of the Qin Dynasty.

If he wanted to repeat that ending, would a slap be enough?
Not enough.

He can't get what he wants.

Absolutely not.

"Your Highness," Shen Zhi saw her suppressed tears and patted her to comfort her, "I observed the sky at night and saw that the stars were shining brightly, with the potential to surround the moon. Your Highness, don't worry."

astronomical phenomena.

Xu Zhi pondered for a moment, praying that the astronomical phenomenon of Mars guarding the heart would not be too early or too late.

Xu Zhi returned to Zhilan Palace and wrote a very long silk letter to Ying Zheng.

Soon, the Zhangtai Palace was in an uproar.

I revisited Mr. Wang Liqun's lecture series on reading "Records of the Grand Historian" on the Hundred Schools Forum.
