Chapter 1130

"Know regret now? What were you doing earlier?"

While the Queen of Tu'an was immersed in deep regret, an extremely cold voice came from the door.

Yi Xiaochuan was completely immersed in the fact that Yushu had committed suicide, turning a deaf ear to this voice.

The Queen of Tu'an, hearing this voice, turned her head abruptly to look at the gate, only to see a burly figure standing quietly. This figure was none other than the First Emperor... Ying Zheng.

Beside Ying Zheng was another person, but the Queen of Tu'an did not take this person to heart. For her, coming to Xianyang this time, the only person she cared about was Ying Zheng.

"Queen of Tu'an, I heard everything you said to Yushu earlier."

A single sentence made the Queen of Tu'an's face change, and her heart panicked.

Yu'er's suicide was beyond her expectations, but this matter could barely be attributed to family affairs and would not involve the survival of Tu'an. But the fact that she pressured Yu'er to harm the foundation of the Qin Guo was known to the Qin Huang—that was a matter concerning the survival of Tu'an.

"Tu'an, fearing the pressure of the barbarians and the Xiongnu, is always in danger of national extinction. For the sake of Tu'an's survival, my Great Qin accepted your marriage alliance and gave Tu'an protection. As a result, I didn't expect Tu'an to harbor sinister intentions, nominally for a marriage alliance, but actually wanting to use female beauty to harm the foundation of my Great Qin. Such methods remind me of a strategy used by the Han State against the Qin Guo in the past, called... the 'Fatigue Qin Strategy'!"

Ying Zheng said leisurely.

The so-called "Fatigue Qin Strategy" was when the King of Han sent the water engineer Zheng Guo to the Qin Guo to carry out major water conservancy projects, intending to use the water conservancy project to consume the Qin Guo's national strength and then seek personal gain for himself.

In the end, the "Fatigue Qin Strategy" naturally ended in failure.

Even, because of the completion of the Zheng Guo Canal, the saline-alkali land in the Guanzhong area of the Qin Guo became fertile fields, and the Qin Guo gained a granary for nothing.

Whether the Queen of Tu'an knew about the "Fatigue Qin Strategy" is unknown, but Ying Zheng's words indeed made her genuinely panic.

Ying Zheng said these words, representing that the Qin Huang already knew the purpose of Yushu coming to the Qin Guo.

Even if Yushu was already dead, she could flatly deny that she had ever let Yu'er do these things.

But this was just a way of deceiving oneself.

Between Tu'an and Great Qin, the Qin Guo was the strong one. For the strong, bullying the weak sometimes doesn't need any excuse; they can bully if they want to, let alone that the current Qin Huang, if he really wanted to use troops against Tu'an, could be considered to have a legitimate reason.

The Queen of Tu'an frankly admitted this.

"It is my Tu'an that has wronged the Qin Guo first. I wonder if the Qin Huang can spare my Tu'an this time?"

"As long as the Qin Guo is willing to spare our Tu'an, from now on, our Tu'an will definitely follow the Qin Guo's lead and obey the Qin Guo's orders!"

"That sounds nice." Ying Zheng said indifferently, "Unfortunately, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? For my Great Qin, only a destroyed Tu'an is a good Tu'an."

Ying Zheng's words were cold.

The Queen of Tu'an felt a deep chill. Her face changed again and again, and finally, she realized one thing.

That was, she had a knife in her hand.

Tu'an was a small country in the north. In the customs there, both men and women practiced riding and archery from a very young age, which could be called a nation in arms. Although the Queen of Tu'an was old, she had practiced it.

She was not a kind person. If she were a kind person, she couldn't have killed the man she loved most back then and then become the Queen of Tu'an.

"Since you don't want to let my Tu'an have a good time, I'll fight you to the death!"

The Queen of Tu'an said, holding the knife in her hand, and killed toward Ying Zheng.

It must be said that this was an excellent opportunity. In terms of timing, it was even better than the timing of Jing Ke assassinating the Qin Wang.

When Jing Ke assassinated the Qin Wang, the venue was in the Xianyang Palace, and there were many ministers in the hall, and Ying Zheng was carrying a sword. Although he fell into some predicament because the sword was too long, that assassination in history did indeed make Ying Zheng feel a great crisis.

After merging the memories of the Qin Huang of this world, Ying Zheng had appreciated the memory of that battle.

Now the Queen of Tu'an intended to take action against Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng had no weapon, and the distance between her and Ying Zheng was close at hand. The only trouble was probably the person standing beside Ying Zheng.

However, the Queen of Tu'an did not take the other party seriously.

In the end, she believed in her own skills.

The next moment, the Queen of Tu'an was stunned.

Her full-force strike toward Ying Zheng was blocked lightly.

The other party's palm grasped the blade she stabbed, and then with a slight force, the short knife she carried was directly snapped by the other party. As the short knife snapped, a powerful force surged into her body, and her body fell backward, feeling weak all over.

The Queen of Tu'an never dreamed that she would fail in such a way.

Not long after, a series of neat footsteps sounded.

Those were the guards stationed around the palace.

Yi Xiaochuan's sad cry from Yushu's palace attracting the guards' attention was a matter of course.

Many guards came here and first saw Yushu in Yi Xiaochuan's arms, then saw the Queen of Tu'an lying on the ground. After seeing Ying Zheng clearly and seeing Su Xuan standing beside Ying Zheng, they were shocked.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Many guards saluted Ying Zheng at the same time.

Ying Zheng's face was cold, and he said indifferently, "The Queen of Tu'an had sinister intentions. Coming to Xianyang this time, nominally to visit relatives, but actually to harm the foundation of my Great Qin. Now, because the matter was exposed, Beauty Yu committed suicide."

After indifferently stating the ins and outs of the matter, Ying Zheng said to the guards behind him, "Take the Queen of Tu'an for me!"

"Yes!"

Many palace guards swarmed up and arrested the Queen of Tu'an.

Soon, many guards, under Ying Zheng's order, took the Queen of Tu'an and left here.

Su Xuan walked slowly to Yi Xiaochuan's side. Yi Xiaochuan held Yushu tightly, tears continuously flowing from the corners of his eyes. He muttered to himself, continuously calling Yushu's name.

Su Xuan could see that Yi Xiaochuan's heart was already filled with the desire for death. In other words, Yushu was dead, and he didn't want to live either.

This was an incredibly inconceivable thing.

In the past, Lu Su also fell before Yi Xiaochuan, but Yi Xiaochuan didn't have the desire for death.

It can only be said that people are different.

Yi Xiaochuan was preparing to seek death, which wouldn't do. Thus, Su Xuan said to Yi Xiaochuan, "Do you want to save her?"

Yi Xiaochuan was stunned.
