"When my wife first entered the palace, in order to protect her, the king selected a new group of maids from the Shaofu to enter Zhaode Palace. It was at that time that Qing'er entered Xianyang Palace."
"Later, after gaining Madam's trust, the King made a decree to ask Qing'er to serve Madam well without making any mistakes. From then on, Qing'er has been staying by Madam's side."
At that time, Qing'er, who was shaking her head, responded in a low voice, and in the blink of an eye, many years had passed.
After staying in the harem for many years, I saw with my own eyes that the then arrogant Madam Chu, Madam Min, etc. died one after another, and even the Queen Mother Huayang passed away, but... the king has always been as fond of Madame Li as ever.
What's more, Qing'er didn't dare to slack off at all. The king was really doting on Mrs. Li to the extreme.
The King even wanted to grant Lady Li the title of Queen, but Lady Li refused. At this point, Qing'er only felt it was a pity, but from this, it was even more obvious that Lady Li was very fond of her.
"You have been delivering messages to the king for many years?"
The anger on Gongsun Li's face remained. Many things were extremely private and she didn't want others to know.
"This..., ma'am, forgive me."
"Although the King has this order, and although Qing'er also conveys a lot of information,...for many years, except for the King's oral message a few days ago, there has been no response."
A few days ago, my wife wanted to deliver the wine that made me sweat to Han Shen, the envoy of the State of Yan. She got the king's order on that matter, so she changed the wine and it was not mixed with sweat.
Who would have thought...that the envoy from the Yan Kingdom would be so courageous, openly assassinating the king in Xianyang Palace and insisting on seeking death.
"In the past...when Yan Dan left Xianyang, did you also tell the king about that matter?"
Gongsun Li was a little silent. He glanced at Qing'er who was kneeling on the floor not far away. An important matter came to mind. It has been many years since he thought about it. At that time, Yan Dan was still a hostage in Xianyang.
He planned to escape Xianyang and wanted to help him, so he agreed.
So, at that time... I found an excuse and took the king's car to leave Xianyang, leaving the Xianyang guards a little empty, and Yan Dan was able to escape Xianyang City. Qing'er knew about this.
Now that I think about it...the king also knows about it.
But...the king did not object at all, but allowed himself to be pulled away from Xianyang.
"yes."
Qing'er thought for a while and finally said one word.
At that time, Madam Li had planned this incident not long after she first entered the palace. Qing'er was frightened at that time, but she did not dare to disobey the king's previous decree, so she reported it, but...unexpectedly, the king did not pay attention to it.
Let Yan Dan leave Xianyang and accompany Mrs. Li out of Xianyang Palace to the outside of the pass.
"Have you also told the king about...something about Tianming?"
Gongsun Li fell into a shallow silence again. Qing'er beside her knew about Tianming's life experience, so Qing'er should also understand some of Tianming's arrangements and what she was worried about.
"……,yes."
Qing'er responded again. When his wife entered the palace in the past, Tianming was taken with him. For some reasons, the king directly recognized him as the son of Da Qin. No one in the harem made a fuss about this matter.
Later, according to Mrs. Li's daily chats, Qing'er was even more frightened and did not dare to leak anything. Even the king was like this. What could he do? For several years, Da Qin had always been the one who knew about Tianming's life experience.
Young Master.
And he is on par with Mr. Fusu.
"..."
"If I expel you from Zhaode Palace today, you will probably be sentenced to death by the king, right?"
Gongsun Li stroked her forehead with one hand. Over the past three days, her body had become much weaker, but deep inside her body and mind, things were complicated and difficult to sort out. She neither wanted anything to happen to senior brother Han Shen, nor did she want anything to happen to the king.
However... in the main hall of Xianyang Palace that day, I actually watched Senior Brother Han Shen being killed with my own eyes!
Senior Brother Han Shen died. Since then, all the people around him after Zhu Xia and before entering the palace have disappeared. The eldest father died in Puyang, Senior Brother Jing died in the hands of Marquis Wu Zhen, and Senior Brother Han Shen died in Xianyang of Qin State.
In the palace.
And she... actually became the wife of King Qin and gave birth to two children for him.
Is this God's torture for me?
Why do you have to do this to yourself?
I should hate the king!
I should kill the king!
But... why did the determination I made secretly at the beginning turn into a current flowing around the water and dissipate along the current?
Disputes among the Xia, life and death, everything is inevitable. I understand the king's thoughts. He is very good to me and is willing to give me everything. I also believe that he will always protect the sky.
But I don’t believe it... Qin State, I don’t believe other people in Qin State. I have been in the palace for many years, and I have gained nothing. The Xianyang Royal City is the safest place for all Xia, but... at certain times, it is also the safest place for all Xia.
Dangerous place.
After all, Tianming's identity is not the true heir of King Qin. If the king wants to let Tianming sharpen the young masters, he is really putting Tianming on the fire. If he is not careful, the king will be fine, but Tianming will be in danger of his life.
Only by sending Tianming out can he feel at peace in his heart. Those people in Xianyang will not target Tianming. With the promise made by the king just now, Gongsun Li feels at ease.
Maybe... I am selfish after all.
I don't want my children to be harmed, I don't want my friends to be harmed, and I don't want the king to be harmed. I want to waver on the couch, my whole body is so weak.
The slightly dim beautiful eyes fell on Qing'er. Everything revealed today, should I continue to keep this person?
Gongsun Li felt that she couldn't accept it if she continued to stay by his side.
If she were to be expelled, Gongsun Li could completely imagine Qing'er's fate. There would be no other way out than death.
"Excuse me, ma'am!"
"Madam, spare your life!"
"Madam, spare your life!"
"..."
Qing'er looked horrified. If Mrs. Li really didn't want her anymore, her fate would be even more miserable than what Mrs. Li said. Going to Yongxiang would be a light thing. Based on what she knew.
I am afraid that I will have to go through the punishment in Xianyang Palace completely.
That kind of scene is unimaginable.
"From now on, you will be in charge of the affairs outside Zhaode Palace and be responsible for taking care of Yang Zi."
"Go and bring my son."
"I haven't seen him in three days."
It is impossible to keep Qing'er by his side, but Qing'er has been with him for many years. If he really wants to see Qing'er die, he can't do it. He can only transfer Qing'er away from him.
The crisp words were soft and slow, and they fell on another matter.
"Thank you ma'am!"
"Thank you ma'am!"
"Qing'er will send someone to bring the young master right now!"
Qing'er felt her little heart beating violently. As long as she was not expelled, she could accept everything. She was fighting for the ground with her head, and kept kowtowing, causing a loud sound to be heard on the floor.
Then, he stood up slowly, intending to carry out his wife's orders, and at the same time prepared to order Shangshifang to deliver a brand new meal.

"Senior brother, looking at this child's appearance, he looks very similar to the young hero Jing Ke."
Outside Hangu Pass, it is as prosperous as ever. In the past few years, Qin State has emerged from the east, and wars have continued among various countries. However, for Qin State itself, it has become more and more prosperous, with refugees from South Korea and Zhao State constantly pouring in.
Although the central part of the pass is inaccessible, there is still a large amount of land to choose from outside the pass. The water conservancy is well maintained, and the roads and straight roads are smooth. It is a rare and stable and prosperous place in Xia. It is prosperous, and there will be constant business and travel.
On the flat road that stretched vertically and horizontally, an ordinary business travel team was mixed in, flags flying, simple carriages and horses accompanying each other, carrying goods purchased from Xianyang behind, rushing to the outside of the pass and the Shandong countries outside the pass.
She wore a light white loose skirt and shirt, with a simple and elegant appearance and a calm temperament. A wooden hairpin stood up like a waterfall of long hair. There was still a trace of heroism between her eyebrows. Her eyes were filled with curiosity, and she looked at the sleeping figure next to her.
A young man.
He spoke with a smile on his face.
"His temperament is similar to that of Young Hero Jing Ke. Although we didn't know Young Hero Jing Ke very well back then, we admired his heroic and chivalrous style. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to make Miss Li fall in love with him."
"In the past few days, this boy has begun to show his unruliness, but it is his nature. However, Tianming has lived in Xianyang Palace for a long time, but he has added a touch of nobility."
Facing the gaze of his junior sister, Can Jian nodded and smiled softly. He put his light blue plain robe on his body and sat cross-legged in the carriage. The movements of the past few days passed through his mind, and he was surprised again.
"I heard that Ying Zheng treated him very well. There are rumors in the farmhouse that Ying Zheng even made Tianming the crown prince in Zhangtai Palace. Senior brother, do you think that is true or false?"
The woman pulled the blanket covering the young man's body, and then looked at her senior brother again.
"Whether it's true or false, it doesn't matter anymore."
"Tianming's life experience is not a secret in the eyes of some people in Xianyang. Miss Li is probably worried about Ying Zheng's words in Zhangtai Palace, otherwise, she would not have sent Tianming away at this time."
"Junior sister, I have a heavy task ahead of me."
Can Jian shook his head. Whether it was true or false, it was useless. The key point was that Tianming had left Xianyang now. Thanks to the friendship of young knight Jing Ke and the great righteousness of knight Han Shen.
