It was late at night.
A crescent moon hung in the sky, emitting a soft, hazy white glow.
The air temperature plummeted.
A gentle breeze blew, and a bone-piercing coldness swept over.
In a gorgeous palace in Xianyang Palace.
The lights were bright.
The golden candlelight danced in the air, reflecting the dancing shadows under the moonlight.
Xianyang Palace was very quiet at night.
Occasionally, there would be some insect chirping, which became the only embellishment in the night.
At this moment.
A pitch-black shadow flashed past the wooden window at an extremely fast speed, making it impossible to see its appearance clearly.
"Who is it?"
A woman's cold and vigilant voice rang out from the palace.
Only to see.
A tall woman in a crimson dress walked toward the window with small steps. The golden candlelight reflected her stunning face.
She had a head of soft purple hair, soft eyebrows, rippling eyes, and exquisite facial features. A light blue bun was erected on her purple hair.
At this moment.
The woman's beautiful face was filled with vigilance and hostility. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the window, and she did not dare to relax at all. Her entire body was tense.
She slowly raised her slender arm, grabbed the candle flame by the windowsill, and extended the candle flame toward the dim window.
In vain-
A calm voice came from behind her.
"Please forgive me for coming uninvited in the middle of the night.”
In an instant.
The woman's pupils contracted slightly, and her expression changed drastically. She quickly turned around, and her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at the man standing behind her.
She subconsciously blurted out,"Who are you? Do you know what this place is? Retreat immediately, and I will let bygones be bygones. I will not summon any guards to arrest you.”
"Otherwise…"
"Even if you grow wings, it will be difficult for you to fly out of here!”
The woman's voice was filled with hostility and fear.
The man slowly took off the loose black robe draped over his body, revealing a face with distinct facial features. His eyes were sharp and deep, and his long black hair fell over his shoulders.
This person was Ge Nia!
"Mister Ge Nia?"
"You!"
The woman clearly recognized Ge Nia's identity, and at the same time, she was greatly surprised and confused.
The hostility in her tone had obviously weakened a lot.
"I had no choice but to pay a visit late at night.”
"If I have offended you in any way, please don't take offense.”
"It's just that there's a reason."
Ge Nia explained.
"Mister Ge Nia, what happened?”
The woman had an ominous premonition.
She subconsciously held the lamp in her hand tightly, her eyes turning slightly. She could not help but look at a young boy who was sleeping soundly not far away from the palace.
Seeing the boy, the woman's eyes revealed deep love.
After a moment of silence, Ge Nia finally spoke again."Jing Ke is dead."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Boom!
The woman felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her entire head instantly exploded.
All the thoughts in her mind were shattered and shattered instantly, turning into a blank.
Even her entire delicate body suddenly became exceptionally stiff. She stood motionless on the spot, as if she had turned into a statue.
After a while.
The woman opened her mouth and said in a trembling voice," W-What did you say?!"
Seeing this, Ge Nia couldn't help but turn to look out the window and continue,"Today, Jing Ke, as the envoy sent by the Yan Country, attempted to assassinate the King of Qin in the imperial court.”
"But in the end…"
"He…failed."
"Killed on the spot!"
These words echoed in the woman's ears.
She seemed to have lost all her strength and fell to the side.
Plop!
A soft sound rang out.
The woman fell heavily to the corner.
Her body began to tremble violently, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. Tears flowed out of her eyes and slid down her cheeks.
"How could this be…"
" How did he die?!"
The woman was still unable to accept this cruel truth.
She slowly hugged her knees, lowered her head, and cried out in grief.
Her name was Li Ji!
On the surface, she was the First Emperor's favorite concubine.
In reality.
Her husband was Jing Ke.
She gave birth to a son for Jing Ke, and he was called…
Jing Tianming.
Now.
Jing Tianming was sleeping soundly not far away, completely unaware of the news that his father, Jing Ke, had died.
"He clearly promised me that he would take me and Tianming with him.”
"How could he die?"
Li Ji's tears flowed out crazily.
Ge Nia fell silent when he saw Li Ji crying.
He could not comfort her.
While Li Ji was crying…
Ge Nia turned his gaze to the sleeping Jing Tianming.
The moment he saw Jing Tianming.
Ge Nia's originally calm gaze began to turn gentle.
A moment later.
After Li Ji's sobs calmed down a little, Ge Nia said seriously,"Before he died, he gave me instructions.”
"Let me take good care of you."
"So…"
"I specially came to visit you tonight to ask you.”
"If you want to leave Xianyang Palace, even if I have to pay the price of my life, I will definitely take you and your son away from Xianyang Palace.”
"What is your choice?"
Ge Nia's choice.
Lizzie stopped crying.
She raised her head. Her eyes were red, and tears covered her pretty face. She looked haggard and fragile, but she shook her head stubbornly and rejected Ge Nia's suggestion with a bitter smile.
"Mr. Ge Nia, we won't trouble you.”
"If there's a day when I need your help, I'll definitely ask you for help.”
"But…"
"Now, I've made up my mind.”
Ge Nia fell silent.
Moments later.
"Are you sure you don't want me to take you and your son out of Xianyang Palace?"”
"Mr. Ge Nia, I'm already very grateful that you've brought me this piece of news today." However, I'll handle the rest by myself.”
She knew.
Ge Nia was powerful and was known as the Sword Saint of the current era.
However, facing thousands of elite guards of Xianyang Palace, even a Sword Saint might not be able to escort the mother and son out of Xianyang Palace.
At this moment, if Ge Nia was dragged into this, it was very likely that he would not have a good ending.
This was obviously not the result that Li Ji wanted to see.
At this moment.
Ge Nia was speechless when he saw how stubborn Li Ji was.
"Goodbye, Gai."
Ge Nia did not say anything else.
He decisively turned around and left.
After watching Ge Nia leave, Li Ji leaned against the wall and looked up at the gorgeous palace. Her eyes were dazed as if she had lost her soul.
Half an hour later.
Liji stood up with her hands on the ground.
She wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks.
Then…
She used a gentle gaze to look at the sleeping Jing Tianming.
Then,
Her eyes were filled with determination.
"Tianming…"
"You'll have to rely on yourself for the rest of the journey.”
"You must live! Survive tenaciously!"
" At the same time, you must remember…"
"Your father was a great hero! The greatest hero in the world!"
Next.
Li Ji walked to the sleeping Jing Tianming and took out half of the broken jade pendant. She strung it up with a rope and hung it around Jing Tianming's neck.
He could clearly feel it.
At this moment, Liji had made a decision.
