The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty, Lord Zhao!"

Li Zhan looked respectful as he led everyone forward slowly and bowed solemnly to Yu Shu and Yi Huawei with meticulous movements.

"No gift!"

Yu Shu waved her hand, glanced at Li Zhan and turned to look at Yi Huawei.

"Master Li, please stand up!"

Yi Huawei smiled and personally helped Li Zhan up.

Li Zhan, the second son of Li Si, was the son-in-law of Qin Shi Huang and the deputy cavalry commander. He was given the title of "son-in-law" because Qin Shi Huang would always bring his sons-in-law with him whenever he went on a tour and let them sit in the deputy carriage. He is now the supervisor of the imperial mausoleum.

Li Zhan had an upright figure, a handsome face, and a heroic look between his eyebrows. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a jade pendant on his waist, which made him look even more extraordinary. Behind him, everyone stood with their heads bowed, showing great respect.

In the original history, Li You also married a princess. But in this world, the stupid screenwriter made Li You not get married at such an old age. He first liked Yu Shu, then fell in love with Xiao Yue, and still hasn't started a family. His younger brother has a son, but his elder brother is still alone. And this happened in the prime minister's house? ?
Yi Huawei was speechless when he thought about it. He shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat impressed by the screenwriter's unique train of thought.

"Sir Li, I am here on His Majesty's orders to check on the progress of the Terracotta Warriors."

Yi Huawei smiled faintly and slowly scanned the huge Terracotta Warriors site in front of him:
"Looking at the progress, I think it should be completed as expected. Thank you for your hard work, Lord Li."

"This is my duty."

Li Zhan bowed his hands respectfully, his expression solemn, and he stood up straight: "Please rest assured, Lord Zhao, the 9,500 terracotta warriors will be completed on time. Your Majesty and Lord Zhao have come from afar, why don't you go in and rest for a while?"

As he spoke, Li Zhan slightly turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing Yu Shu shaking her head, Yi Huawei smiled and said, "No need for today. Your Majesty is tired and wants to go back and rest early!"

"Then... I respectfully bid farewell to Her Majesty, Lord Zhao..."

Li Zhan bowed respectfully, and the people behind him followed suit.

"Master Li, you are too polite. I will come and talk to you another day!" Yi Huawei smiled, like a spring breeze, making people feel very friendly. He helped Yu Shu onto the horse, and then jumped onto the black horse swiftly. Surrounded by the Langwei, the two slowly returned to the Xianyang Palace.

The large group of people marched in a mighty procession, with the sound of horse hooves and footsteps intertwined. When the group arrived at the East Market, Yu Shu's expression gradually became a little anxious, and she kept signaling Yi Huawei with her eyes.

With a smile, Yi Huawei raised his hand, pointed to the restaurant on the street, and said softly: "Your Majesty, take a rest before entering the palace."

"allow!"

Yu Shu understood, waved her sleeves and nodded quickly.

Ah Da immediately led the guards to quickly surround the restaurant. The guards acted quickly and methodically, and asked the guests to leave the restaurant.

Following Yi Huawei into a private room, Yu Shu's eyes were filled with anxiety, staring at Yi Huawei closely: "Where is my mother? Didn't you tell me to let me see her?"

"Your Majesty, please be patient. Ah Er, take people to guard the door and don't let anyone in."

Yi Huawei gave an order, and Ah Er followed it and walked out. Ah San saluted Yi Huawei and whispered, "Master, everything is ready!"

"Let's go!"

Yi Huawei nodded and waved to Yu Shu.

Following Ah San's lead, Chu Wanbing and Long Hui entered the innermost dark room, which was about ten feet in radius, with solid walls. There were no tables or chairs in the room, but a few cushions on the floor. On the east side was a huge bronze candlestick with several candles on it, and a faint scent of sandalwood floated in the room.

Asan pressed the wall on the left, and with a click, a secret door opened on the ground immediately, and a dark tunnel entrance instantly appeared in front of Yu Shu.

Yu Shu was surprised: "What is this?"

"Do you think I'm as unscrupulous as Yi Xiaochuan? His Majesty is still alive!"

Glancing at Yu Shu, Yi Huawei walked in first without any hesitation. Yu Shu bit her lip, thinking that Zhao Gao didn't need any conspiracy to deal with her, so she followed closely.

As soon as he entered the tunnel, he was greeted by a damp smell mixed with the smell of soil. The walls were made of rough stones, and the surface was a little wet. Occasionally, water drops slowly dripped down, making a slight "tick-tick" sound. The height of the tunnel was only enough for Yi Huawei to pass through with his head slightly lowered, and the width was only enough for two people to walk side by side.

The tunnel was dimly lit, with only a weak oil lamp in Yi Huawei's hand emitting a dim light. The light flickered, casting swaying shadows on the wall, making the entire tunnel even more eerie. The ground was not flat, and some places were bumpy.

"Wait for me!"

Seeing Yi Huawei walking faster and faster, Yu Shu felt uneasy and hurriedly chased after him.

The footsteps of the two echoed in the winding space, making a dull sound. After walking for about ten minutes, a staircase leading up appeared at the intersection. The staircase was made of the same rough stones. The slope of the staircase was not steep, but because of the dim light, people could not see where the end led to.

Yi Huawei walked up and pushed it upwards. Light shone into the tunnel, illuminating the surroundings.

Walking out of the tunnel, Yu Shu narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to adapt to the light outside. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes. This was an extremely ordinary room, with a few simple tables and chairs placed randomly, exuding an old atmosphere.

"Your mother is next door."

Yi Huawei brushed the dust off his body and turned to push open the door.

"grown ups!"

Two sturdy men were standing upright at the door. When they saw Yi Huawei coming out, they hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Get up! You've worked hard!"

Yi Huawei smiled and patted their shoulders, then turned and walked to the next door. Yu Shu didn't care about the surrounding environment at this time. She was worried about her mother and hurriedly followed Yi Huawei into the house.

"Mother!"

As soon as she entered the room, Yu Shu saw a middle-aged woman in coarse cloth. The woman looked haggard and had dull eyes. She was staring at the ceiling in a daze, as if she was recalling the glory and honor of the past. Yu Shu's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

"Yu Shu? You are Yu Shu? Am I dreaming?"

Looking at Yu Shu who suddenly appeared, Queen Tuan rubbed her eyes, her voice trembling slightly, a little bit unbelievable. She stood up and walked to Yu Shu, slowly stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Yu Shu's face, but she was afraid that this was just an illusion.

"Mother, it's me!"

Yu Shu held her mother's hand tightly, feeling the familiar warmth, her heart filled with joy, tears streaming down her face.

"Hurry up, you only have one stick of incense!"

Yi Huawei looked up at the sky, said a few words, and turned to walk out.

He walked slowly into the courtyard and sat down slowly on the slightly cold stone bench. The sunlight gently fell on Yi Huawei's body, but it could not dispel the cold aura emanating from him. Yi Huawei narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up at the sky quietly, and silently calculated the passage of time in his heart. The occasional breeze blew gently, brushing the corners of his clothes, making a subtle sound.

Estimating that the time was about right, Yi Huawei slowly stood up, lightly dusted off his body, and walked towards the main room.

In the room, Yu Shu and Queen Tuan hugged each other tightly and cried. Tears kept falling like beads with broken strings. Queen Tuan's face was haggard and sad, and Yu Shu's eyes were full of sadness.

Yi Huawei watched this scene quietly, with no trace of emotion in his eyes:
"Okay, it's almost time! It's time to go back!"

"Zhao Gao! You bastard! What on earth do you want to do? I am the mother of a country, and you dare to detain me here privately. ... Does the King of Qin know that you are so bold and presumptuous?"

Queen Tuan glared at Yi Huawei with hatred in her eyes. She had just asked Yu Shu and found out that the King of Qin had no idea that he had been brought here. He was kept in the dark by the thief Zhao Gao.

"It is enough for your Majesty to know that I am loyal!"

Yi Huawei smiled and said, "If you were more honest, you could live a few more years. If you want to rebel, forget it! You are just seeking peace, but you dare to claim to be the queen when you are only a county. It's pathetic and ridiculous!"

"you!"

Queen Tuan glared at Yi Huawei, puffed out her chest, her eyes full of pride: "Although I am small, I am also a descendant of King Zhou, canonized by the royal family! You are just a eunuch, a running dog of the tyrannical Qin, not even a man! Hahaha~~"

"Haha~, your Majesty doesn't need to worry about whether I'm a man or not!"

Glancing at Yu Shu, Yi Huawei smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile: "As for your queen... hehe, whether she will be there in a few years is another matter!"

"What do you want to do!?"

Queen Tuan's expression changed slightly, but she soon regained her composure and looked at Yi Huawei coldly:
"The King of Qin has committed atrocities and the world has suffered from him for a long time. You will not have a good ending!"

"It's a pity that you won't be able to see that day!"

Yi Huawei raised the corners of his lips slightly, turned his head to look at Yu Shu, and said softly: "My queen, it's getting late, it's time to return to the palace."

Yu Shu held her mother's hand tightly, her eyes full of reluctance, and said softly: "Mother, I don't want to leave you."

Yi Huawei frowned slightly and urged again: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is still waiting in the palace. If you don't want to anger His Majesty, you'd better go back early. Besides, if your return to the palace goes smoothly this time, maybe we can meet again in the future."

Yu Shu bit her lip, hesitant. At this moment, Queen Tuan's face changed, and she suddenly took out a sharpened tile from her sleeve and pressed it against Yu Shu's neck. Yu Shu was shocked and at a loss for a moment.

Yi Huawei raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a deep voice: "Queen, what do you mean?"

Queen Tuan's eyes were sharp. She tightly grasped the sharpened tile in her hand and said in a deep voice, "Prepare a pass and a few fast horses for me! Otherwise, I will see how you will report to the King of Qin!"

As he spoke, he exerted a little force on his hands, and a stream of bright red blood slowly flowed down Yu Shu's neck. The deep red color was particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

Yu Shu frowned slightly, her eyes full of pain and helplessness. She looked at Yi Huawei who was standing still and gritted her teeth and said, "Lord Zhao, don't be in a stalemate with my mother. Think of a way to have the best of both worlds."

"You guys really... really opened my eyes! Do you take me for a fool?"

Yi Huawei sat down leisurely, with a sneer on his face: "It's okay, I'll report to His Majesty when I get back and tell him that you eloped with Yi Xiaochuan. His Majesty can at most give me a beating, can he kill me?"

"You!!" Yu Shu's eyes widened, her face full of astonishment. But her body was firmly bound by her mother, unable to move, and she was extremely anxious. If Yi Huawei really reported this to the King of Qin, then Yi Xiaochuan would be harmed in the future.

"Mother, please let me go. We can't get far like this!"

There was a hint of pleading in Yu Shu's eyes.

Queen Tuan looked at Yu Shu with both determination and heartache in her eyes. But now the only way to escape is to hold her daughter hostage. She has been in this hellhole for more than a year. Apart from two meals a day, she doesn't even have anyone to talk to. If she stays here any longer, she will go crazy sooner or later!

"Yu Shu, don't blame mother. This is all for your own good." Queen Tuan's voice trembled slightly:

"Today, let's fight it out. I can't let you suffer alone in that den of tigers and wolves!"

Yu Shu's face was filled with pain, tears welling up in her eyes: "Mother, why are you doing this? Where can we escape to?"

"No matter where we escape to, it's better than being manipulated in the Qin Palace." Queen Tuan gritted her teeth, the tile in her hand still against Yu Shu's neck, and looked at Yi Huawei vigilantly: "Hurry up! Otherwise, even if we risk our lives, I won't let you off easily!"

"Do it!"

Yi Huawei shook his head slightly, as if everything in front of him was just a farce that had nothing to do with him. His eyes were cold: "I will help you choose a good Feng Shui location!"

After that, Yi Huawei took out a gleaming dagger from his sleeve: "Use this, it's a little sharper, it can make your daughter suffer less."

"You!!... If anything happens to Yu Shu, the King of Qin will never let you go!"

Queen Tuan stared at Yi Huawei with her eyes wide open, veins bulging on her forehead, her face ferocious, and her voice trembling violently with anger.

"Haha~,"

Yi Huawei curled up a nonchalant sneer at the corner of his mouth and threw the dagger directly in front of Queen Tuan. With a clang, the dagger hit the ground, making a crisp and harsh sound.

At the moment when Queen Tuan looked down at the dagger, a steel ball appeared out of thin air in Yi Huawei's palm. His eyes suddenly became cold, and he raised his right hand suddenly. The steel ball flew out like lightning, so fast that people could not react at all. It accurately hit Queen Tuan's right hand holding the tile. Queen Tuan only felt a sharp pain in her right hand, and the tile in her hand fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Immediately afterwards, Yi Huawei pulled Yu Shu over with lightning speed and protected her behind him. Then he grabbed Queen Tuan's neck with one hand and lifted her up. Queen Tuan's feet left the ground and she struggled helplessly in the air, her face flushed red.

"No, let my mother go..."

Seeing this, Yu Shu hurriedly tried to pull Yi Huawei away. Her eyes were full of anxiety and tears, and her weak hands desperately pulled Yi Huawei's arms, but it was as powerless as an ant trying to shake a tree.

"Lord Zhao, please, let my mother go."

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Queen Tuan is so cruel, isn't she?" Yi Huawei said calmly, "If it weren't for the queen, I would make you wish you were dead!"

Queen Tuan breathed with difficulty, her eyes filled with reluctance and despair.

Yu Shu burst into tears. She knelt in front of Yi Huawei and begged bitterly, "Lord Zhao, I beg you to let my mother go. I will go back to the palace obediently and never resist. As long as you let my mother go, I will do anything for you."

Yi Huawei looked at Yu Shu who was kneeling in front of him, sighed slightly, and slowly loosened his hand that was pinching Queen Tuan's neck.

"Mother, are you okay?"

Queen Tuan fell to the ground, coughing violently. Yu Shu hurried over and tried to help her mother up, but was stopped by Yi Huawei.
