Qin State, in Xianyang Palace.

King Qin Yingzheng was sitting at the table reviewing memorials. At this moment, Zhao Gao came over and said, "Your Majesty, Gongsun Liji has been brought here and is waiting outside the palace at this time."

When Ying Zheng heard this, his hand holding the brush paused slightly, and he said calmly: "Please come in."

"promise!"

Zhao Gao responded and retreated.

After a while, he saw him return again, and there was a pure and pretty woman beside him. Then Zhao Gao retreated very wisely, leaving the place to the other two.

Gongsun Liji looked indifferent, bowed her head and said, "Gongsun Liji has met King Qin!"

Ying Zheng put down the pen in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the other party, and showed a rare smile: "Li Ji, do you still remember me?"

After hearing this, Gongsun Liji looked up and looked at the former. First she frowned slightly, and then she thought of something and showed a look of surprise: "You, you are the one..."

Ying Zheng smiled, walked down from the throne, looked at the former and said: "Yes, my mother's surname is Zhao, it was not a lie at the beginning."

"Oh, I really didn't expect that the noble young master who took action in Xianyang Street would actually be the famous King of Qin..."

Gongsun Liji's handsome face showed a look of sadness that was difficult to conceal.

Seeing his appearance like this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "General Gongsun's appearance is really not what I want. If I had known earlier..."

"There is no what if..."

Gongsun Liji said coldly.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly, he nodded and said: "Yes, there are no ifs in this world, so are you here for revenge this time?"

"yes!"

Li Ji replied coldly, she never thought about leaving alive when she came here this time.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng did not show anger, but said calmly: "In your heart, Gongsun Yu must be a kind and benevolent elder, right?"

"My grandfather was very kind to soldiers and poor people. He often used his salary to help them, but why..."

Gongsun Liji said, tears shining in her beautiful eyes.

Ying Zheng heard this and said: "In your eyes, he is a kind person, but as a soldier, his hands are bound to be stained with blood. How will the soldiers killed by him and the family of the deceased view him?"

Hearing this, Li Ji's face paused slightly. She really had not thought about this issue.

Ying Zheng continued: "For hundreds of years, countries have continued to conquer, and there is no morality at all. The only way to end this tragedy is to unify.

Without the division of national boundaries, the barriers of language and writing, and the competition for interests, people can live a good life and no one will sacrifice. Don't you think this is a wrong thing, what do you think?"

After the words fell, Gongsun Liji didn't know how to refute for a moment.

At this moment, Ying Zheng took out a short blade from his sleeve and handed it to his hand, and said: "If you really think that I am wrong, you can kill me now and keep the world in war forever.

There is no day of peace.”

After saying that, he took the opponent's hand and put the sharp dagger against his chest.

Li Ji's palms trembled slightly, feeling the dagger she was holding tightly, but she struggled in her heart. She knew very well that what the other party said was not wrong, but she could not let go of the death of a loved one no matter what.

Seeing the unwavering determination in Ying Zheng's eyes, his right hand couldn't help but tremble, and the short blade fell to the ground with a bang.

Immediately afterwards, he fell to the ground, crystal tears fell from his eyes, and he said with great sadness: "Kill me..."

Ying Zheng lowered his body, looked at the other party and said: "Gu will not kill you, Gu loves you and wants to make you the princess of Qin!"

When Gongsun Liji heard this, she smiled coldly: "Princess, hehe..."

Seeing that she was still unmoved, Ying Zheng said again: "As long as you are willing, Gu will make you the most noble woman in the world."

"Noble? Oh, so what if you are noble?"

After saying that, Gongsun Liji looked up and said to the former: "The King of Qin's status is extremely respected, but are you really happy?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, his expression changed and he asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Gongsun Liji continued: "King Qin was born in Zhao State and was not favored by everyone, but he overcame many difficulties and became the king. After taking the throne, he defeated Lu Buwei and other powerful officials and became the true king of a country.

These deeds are certainly admirable, but Liji dares to ask King Qin, have you ever really treated someone without reservation? Have you ever truly trusted anyone? Have you ever felt the true love in the world?"

After hearing these three consecutive questions, Ying Zheng's expression changed, and his eyes turned into sharp arrows and shot at the opponent. In response, Li Ji indeed maintained a calm expression without any fluctuation.

After a few breaths, Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze, exhaled a breath and closed his eyes silently. The things he had experienced for more than twenty years came to mind. His achievements over the years were impressive, but who knew the sourness in them?

?

The first prince Chu, the biological mother Zhao Ji, and the second father Lu Buwei can be said to be the people closest to him, but no one can be trusted, and no one can protect him from the wind and rain and regard him as his closest relative.

Under this environment, he gradually no longer desires that luxurious and true love, especially this kind of love that is even more elusive for the king of a country.

Opening his eyes, Ying Zheng said slowly: "I don't need those things..."

Hearing this, Gongsun Liji asked again: "Does the king not need it or does he not want it, or does he not dare to ask for it?"

Ying Zheng did not answer directly, but said in a deep voice: "I am a king, and I am called a lonely king!"

Li Ji continued: "The more noble your status is, the less true love you can feel. King Qin is the master of a country. Countless people respect you and fear you, but isn't this kind of awe a kind of isolation?"

"In other words, you are respectable, fearful, but also pitiable."

Ying Zheng did not refute these words. Even though he has huge power in his hands, he is still lonely in a certain corner of his heart. Although there are many people around him every day, he must always guard against these things.

people.

Loneliness is a symbol of strength. If you want to get something, you have to pay something. Everything has a price. In his view, this is not pitiful, but a kind of fairness.

However, everyone longs for sincerity and purity in their heart, and perhaps it is for this reason that they can never forget the woman in front of them.

He hoped that there would be someone to fill the vacancy deep in his heart, and that he could occasionally let go of his majesty as a king and help each other like ordinary people.
