There was only one person who was once the young ranger's lover who became the Great Qin's Princess Consort, and that was Jing Ke's lover, Gongsun Liji. She and Jing Ke had fallen in love with each other. Jing Ke had left far away in order to learn swordsmanship, and when he returned, Gongsun Liji had already been presented to the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, as a trophy by the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty.
In order to avenge his master Gongsun Yu, Jing Ke accepted the request of Yan Prince Dan to bring the head of Fan Yuqi and the map of Yan Dukang into Xianyang. The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never come back. The hatred of killing his teacher and stealing his wife made Jing Ke a warrior who had been passed down for thousands of years.
Gongsun Liji was already pregnant when she entered Xianyang Palace. In order to protect her child, she had no choice but to pretend to be polite to Ying Zheng, the King of Qin.
The scene changed, and a solemn and magnificent palace appeared.
Entrusted by Jing Ke, Han Shen, who had been waiting in Xianyang City for many days, finally had the chance to sneak into Xianyang Palace.
Han Shen saw Li Ji again. The Liji in front of him was even more dazzling. Time had not left a trace on her face. Instead, it had washed away a clear and thorough exquisite beauty. Han Shen quietly stood outside the door. He could not help but linger his gaze for a long time. For a moment, he actually forgot to take a step forward.
He coughed lightly to remind Li Ji of his arrival. Li Ji looked up and recognized Han Shen, who was dressed like a guard. She couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised."Big Brother Han, why are you here?"
"Ah!" The maid beside Li Ji was shocked when she saw Han Shen. Han Shen was about to stop her. "Go out and stand guard!" Lizzie said sternly. Don't let anyone in!"
" Yes, yes..." The maid had never seen Li Ji so stern before. She was so frightened that she immediately retreated out of the room. She stood by the door, trembling, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Li Ji looked at Han Shen uneasily,"Today is the day the envoy of the Yan Country arrives in Xianyang. The security must be even tighter. Wouldn't it be even more dangerous for you to sneak into the palace at this time?”
"Li Ji, who do you think the envoy from Yan Country is?" Han Shen was suddenly very excited.”
"Who is it?" Lizzie was confused.
"He is Jing Ke!" Han Shen said word by word.”
" Ah..." Li Ji was stunned. Her eyes were filled with tears and she cried out," How could that be?" How could he represent the Yan Country to the Qin Country?!”
"Li Ji, there's no need to doubt it," Han Shen said. At that time, I will be able to save you from the Qin Palace together with him!”
" You want me to leave the Qin Palace…" Li Ji hesitated.
"Brother Han, please tell Jing Ke that he must not take the risk to enter the palace to see me. I will not leave with him.”Li Ji said calmly.
"Li Ji, have you really changed? When Tianming was just born, you said that you stayed in the palace because of Tianming. Now that Tianming has grown up and your family is about to reunite, you are telling me that you don't want to leave.”Han Shen shouted excitedly.
Li Ji was not moved by his words at all. She said calmly,""Big Brother Han, even if you blame me, even if Jing Ke blames me, even if the whole world blames me, I will not leave.”
Seeing the persistence in her eyes, Han Shen knew that he couldn't change Li Ji's mind. He sighed heavily.
"Brother Han, I want to entrust Tianming to you. Please take Tianming away from here."”
"Why is that?" Han Shen asked suspiciously.”
" Back then, Senior Brother became obsessed with swordsmanship," Li Ji said." It was for the sake of killing the King of Qin one day and avenging my grandfather." Now, he finally got the chance he had been waiting for!”Liji's heart ached. No matter which of these two men was hurt, it would bring her endless pain. However, the arrow was already on the bow and had to be fired. How could a weak woman like her save the situation? She continued,"I don't know who will survive this assassination." If Shixiong survives, the Qin Palace will be in chaos. This place will no longer be a safe place for me and Tianming.”
Han Shen remained silent, but he knew that what Li Ji said was true.
"Brother Han, please follow me."”She led Han Shen out.
After passing through the winding corridor, Li Ji stopped in front of a door. Before the door opened, Han Shen heard the sound of a child reading in the room."The people are the most important, the state is second, and the monarch is the least important…"
Li Ji pushed the door open. It was a study room. Inside, there was an old man holding a bamboo slip. His eyes were closed as he listened to Tianming's recital.
When Tianming saw his mother enter, he quickly put down the letter and came forward to welcome her.
Li Ji introduced Han Shen and Mr. Fu Nian to each other and sent Tianming to the courtyard to play. Seeing Tianming run out like a caged bird, Li Ji suddenly knelt down to Han Shen and Fu Nian.
Han Shen and Fu Nian quickly helped her up and said,""Furen, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."
Li Ji told him about Tianming's background and her speculation that Jing Ke wanted to assassinate the King of Qin. She begged Han Shen and Fu Nian,""Brother Han, Mr. Fu, you are the two people I trust the most right now. Li Ji, I beg you, Tianming can only live if he leaves the Qin Palace with you!”
Fu Nian was also shaken by this shocking secret and didn't know how to answer.
"Father, you're here to see Tianming!" Tianming's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Big Brother Han, Mr. Fu, quickly take Tianming away!”Li Ji said anxiously.
It was already too late. Qin Wang had already slowly entered the study and looked around at everyone in the room. His eyes were cold and his face was dark. The surroundings were instantly filled with a dark and terrifying atmosphere. Everyone present was filled with fear and unease. They held their breaths like prisoners waiting for the unknown verdict.
Qin Wang slowly walked forward, his cold face without a trace of expression. He didn't even look at Li Ji. Instead, he looked straight at Han Shen.
"Just in time! Today, I'll kill you!" Han Shen could not help but be shocked. He calmly drew his sword and was about to charge at the King of Qin.
"No, I can't! No! Don't hurt him!" Li Ji suddenly stood up in front of the king of Qin. Han Shen's sword was placed on her neck. Han Shen was stunned and quickly pulled his hand away.
The king of Qin was slightly shocked by Li Ji's sudden action, but he remained calm and said coldly,""Do you think you can kill me?”
With a casual wave of his hand, several palace guards appeared behind him. All of them were experts with unique skills.
"Brother Han, Mr. Fu, please take Tianming away!”Lizzie cried helplessly.
"You want to leave?" The King of Qin shouted loudly, and the guards surrounded the door.
"No, I can't! Your Majesty, please let them go. Brother Han, Mr. Fu, let's go! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!" Li Ji shouted hysterically. She fell to the ground and grabbed the corner of Qin Wang's clothes.
