Chapter 588 Execution of Zhao Gao (2)

Zhao Gao only had the dagger that had been used to stab Li Xian, and he couldn't even get close to Ying Hehua. He could only barely hold off the soldiers' attacks.

"Ying Hehua, Xu Fu has already written to His Majesty the Emperor, informing him that I have found the elixir of immortality for him. How could you kill me? How dare you kill me!"

Xu Fu and Zhao Gao had long been in cahoots.

Xu Zhi stared at him, "Zhao Gao is spouting nonsense and has seriously injured a high-ranking official. You need not hold back, kill him immediately and present his head to me!"

Zhao Gao's expression suddenly changed.

The moment the sharp blade was about to strike Zhao Gao's neck!
He suddenly roared, "Back then, His Majesty the Emperor and I were in distress in Handan, and you don't even know where you are now! His Majesty personally promised me that if I committed a serious crime, he would spare my life. Without His Majesty's decree, I would never die! How dare you disobey His Majesty's orders!!"

In that split second, Xu Zhi released Shen Zhi's hand, abandoning her plan to help Li Xian upstairs to get treatment.

The wind brushed past her ear.

She drew the dagger from her waist.

With a whoosh!

Such a fleeting glimpse, the gleam of snow, the splatter of blood—

"My father gave me a bayonet years ago, which was for my own good. Today I will use it to eliminate evil and punish wicked people with ease."

She doesn't mind using violence to stop violence.

Zhao Gao clutched the blood seeping from his waist and abdomen. He had been slashed repeatedly and had exhausted much of his strength. He couldn't dodge in time, but the emperor's words could indeed frighten people. When he roared, the four experts brought by Ying Hehua stopped moving.

If Ying Hehua lets him go now, he can still live.

Then he gazed into her eyes.

"...Ying Hehua, you are truly pathetic. What do you think you are protecting? Your father's empire? Hahahaha, or supreme authority? Do you think Zhao Jia died? Zhao Jia listened to you and went to Shangjun, but in the end, what did he gain? You could only agree to send his coffin back to Handan? It's a pity that Zhao Jia covered for you even in death..."

Zhao Jia's death caused Xu Zhi the most pain.

She was startled and didn't notice that she had stepped over the dragon-patterned tile on the floor.

"Cover up? What is he covering up for me?"

Seeing her puzzled expression, Zhao Gao, with blood gushing from his mouth, still managed to laugh.

"Hahaha, you didn't know? You killed Zhao Jia! You killed him yourself, but you won't admit it?"

"No, you're talking nonsense. The coroner in the court prison said so,"

Zhao Gao smiled menacingly, completely forgetting that Zhao Jia had taken the bullet for him. Instead, his eyes widened in fury. "Ying Hehua! Don't deceive yourself! My sword pierced his abdomen, but not his heart. You killed him with that gun!!"

"He died in your hands!!!"

"—The little princess is nothing like your mother; she's sharp-tongued and quite annoying. It's good to keep her around to give Ying Zheng trouble."

"—I don't care whether the little princess asked me for medicine to save or kill someone. Take it or leave it. This national and personal hatred can't be abandoned, abandoned, or forgotten. But Zhang Liang, I don't want him to end up like me… Whether the little princess has genuine feelings for someone or is just using them, as long as she doesn't deceive herself, that's fine."

—Go back and tell your father that we all congratulate him on being the longest-living.

—'This is the fatal wound…'

This is what Zhao Jia said to her in the rain.

Yan Dan, she couldn't save her.

Zhao Jia died at her hands.

Trajectory? What trajectory? Does the Qin state have to follow that so-called destiny trajectory and complete all the milestones?

……

Seeing that she was distracted, Zhao Gao seized the opportunity to grab her wrist that was holding the knife and used all his strength to throw Ying Hehua away. Caught off guard, she lurched forward.

This bronze vessel was like the tapir-shaped vessel in the Xinzheng Palace, but no one had time to stop it in time.

The light was dazzling, but a stain of blood was added to it.

"Your Highness!!"

Xu Zhi felt a hot liquid slide down above her temple. She touched it and found it to be somewhat sticky.

Her vision was blurry, and she couldn't even tell if the viscous substance was blood.

Xu Zhi felt very dizzy. She hadn't felt the pain spreading yet, but she had more tinnitus and couldn't hear the sounds around her.

Without time to think, she actually helped the bronze vessel to her feet, gripped the dagger tightly, and desperately tried to keep herself from fainting.

She didn't realize that she practically lunged forward to grab Zhao Gao's clothes.

Zhao Gao's expression was one of unprecedented terror, as if she could see the emptiness and fury of Ying Zheng before his death in her dream, reflected in her blood-streaked face and dark eyes. She could see the fear and cowardice in Hu Hai's plea to be a commoner.

He also saw the faces of Li Si, Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Yi before their deaths.

This time, Zhao Gao was powerless! His limbs were held down!

This time, Ying Hehua raised her blade at him!

"I will atone to Zhao Jia, I will." Xu Zhi's tears finally flowed. She couldn't catch her breath and felt as if she could vaguely hear many voices...

“Those you harmed are not reconciled... I cannot let this happen again.”

The Qin royal family's knife cleanly sliced ​​through his throat.

"Ying He, Hua. Do you know who got this dagger from you in your past life?"

Zhao Gao grinned menacingly, his arrogance of calling a deer a horse culminating in that single laugh.

"It's Ziying! Hahahaha, the cycle of karma! Hahahaha!"

"And you are destined to be killed by your closest relatives. The Qin Dynasty is destined to perish. No one can escape fate!"

Not long after Li Xian regained consciousness, he saw Zhao Gao's hand gripping his throat tightly as he struggled desperately on the ground.

His bloodstains flowed a long way.

When Xu Zhi saw that he was awake, she smiled with relief, "Now it's finally peaceful."

Li Xian always missed the moments when she faced crises alone. He used to think it was because he wasn't trying hard enough or persistent enough, until he realized in the underground palace that it was part of fate.

She staggered over, then rubbed her forehead, looking like she was completely exhausted.

He looked at her, his heart aching more than his body. "But you are injured... If I die at Mount Li, it will have the same effect."

He's right.

After his death, Li Si would never let Zhao Gao and Xu Fu go.

Ying Zheng would give up investigating where Mo Qi came from and would believe that his daughter was his daughter from the beginning.

Sacrificing his life to gamble on lasting peace is a worthwhile deal.

"But I told you sixteen years ago. I'm here to change the ending, I'm here to change your fate. How could I bear to let you suffer the same fate as in your previous life?"

"No. Azhi... that doesn't make sense. There's no such logic in the world... this isn't a fate you should bear."

She looked at him with such gentle, compassionate eyes, like a god. "Yes, Jingqian, but no one deserves that kind of ending."
