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

Xianyang Palace, Nuanxiang Garden.

The Qin Emperor had just passed away, and the entire palace was covered in mourning.

The cold wind of November whistled in through the window lattices, adding a bit of bleakness and sadness to the palace. The atmosphere of sorrow was like a heavy haze, shrouding every corner.

Yu Shu was dressed in pure black mourning clothes, with sleeves hanging down like dark clouds. She sat quietly on the bed, her eyes like a pool of autumn water, with tears in them, flashing with complex emotions.

Her long black hair was casually tied up, with a few strands of hair fluttering in the wind, making her look even more gentle and charming. Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth, and against the background of mourning clothes, it looked even paler. Her eyebrows were as dark as distant black, slightly furrowed, as if she had a thousand thoughts on her mind. Her red lips were lightly pursed, and although she was not wearing any makeup, she was still extremely bright and beautiful.

Yu Shu was sad, but not because of Qin Shi Huang.

Looking at the magical "mobile phone" in his hand, Yi Xiaochuan in the video said affectionately: "I'm back!"

The familiar voice and face made her heart ripple.

In the fireplace in the room, fragrant wood was burning quietly, emitting a faint aroma.

Yu Shu's eyes lingered on the phone screen for a long time, and memories came flooding back. Thinking of every little detail with Yi Xiaochuan, those wonderful times seemed to be just yesterday.

Tears slid from the corners of her eyes like pearls from a broken string, slowly flowing down her delicate face, leaving traces of sadness on her pale skin.

"You said you would come back to find me. Why can't you do what you promised me?"

There has been no news of Yi Xiaochuan for more than a year, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive. Yu Shu's body trembled slightly, and suppressed crying leaked from her tightly bitten lips. Her eyes were full of memories of the past and confusion about the future. She held the magical "mobile phone" tightly in her hand, and Yi Xiaochuan's affectionate words in the video became her only comfort at this moment.

"What can't be done?"

A voice suddenly sounded at the door, like thunder exploding in Yu Shu's ears.

Yu Shu felt as if she had received an electric shock, her body trembled violently, and she hurriedly hid her phone behind her, her movements flustered and hurried, she quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at Yi Huawei standing at the door with complicated eyes. When she looked again, the palace maid guarding the door had disappeared, her heart suddenly pounded, and she was so nervous that it seemed to jump out of her throat.

"Master Zhao, your authority is growing stronger and stronger!"

Yu Shu clenched her teeth, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and her words were full of sarcasm. She raised her chin slightly and stared at Yi Huawei. "Now you don't need to inform us when you enter and leave the harem! Do you really think you can come and go freely in this harem?"

Yi Huawei listened to Yu Shu's accusations, but just smiled, walked slowly, went straight to Yu Shu, lowered his head slightly, and locked his eyes on Yu Shu, as if he could see through Yu Shu's heart.

Being looked at by Yi Huawei like this made Yu Shu feel uncomfortable. She felt an inexplicable irritation rising in her heart. She suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "How dare you!"

"It's the Toffee who's being presumptuous!"

Yi Huawei's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a slightly mocking arc, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and accurately grabbed Yu Shu's right hand. Yu Shu only felt a sense of tension in her wrist, and before she could react, the phone in her hand was easily snatched away by Yi Huawei.

"give me back!"

Yu Shu's face was instantly filled with anxiety, her eyes wide open, and she rushed towards Yi Huawei, desperately stretching out her hands to grab the phone, but Yi Huawei raised his arms high, making it impossible for her to reach it. Yu Shu jumped up again and again, a few strands of messy hair stuck to her cheeks, which were slightly red from anxiety.

"Give it back to me! Give it back to me now!"

Yu Shu's eyes were filled with anxiety and anger, but no matter how hard she tried, she failed again and again. Finally, she got hung on Yi Huawei because she used too much force.

"The First Emperor has just passed away, and the Queen Mother is already impatient?"

Yi Huawei waved his hand lightly, as if waving away a light feather, and pushed Yu Shu to the bed.

"Ah~"

Yu Shu was pushed backwards by the sudden huge force and fell heavily on the bed with a dull sound. She stared at Yi Huawei in a daze, her eyes full of astonishment and grievance, tears welling up in her eyes, her lips trembling slightly, she wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Yi Huawei smiled and said, "You really have deep feelings for Yi Xiaochuan! I remember that you haven't been in contact with Yi Xiaochuan for a long time, right?"

Yu Shu bit her lip lightly, raised her head slowly, and met Yi Huawei's gaze firmly:
"He is a light in my life. Even though we were together for a short time, he was enough to illuminate my whole world. Some people, once you meet them, you will never forget them."

"is it?"

Yi Huawei shook his head: "What a pity! Did he still tell you that we will be together forever? Ridiculous!"

After a pause, Yi Huawei looked at Yu Shu's steadfast and unyielding appearance, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Madam Concubine Dowager, no one knows who Yi Xiaochuan is better than me!"

"Humph, you still have the nerve to mention this!"

Yu Shu frowned and snorted coldly, her beautiful eyes full of anger, "Xiao Chuan treats you as a brother, but you have tried to kill him several times...Xiao Chuan is too kind, that's why he has always been controlled by you!"

"He treats me as a brother? Hahahaha..." Yi Huawei laughed as if he had heard a big joke. The laughter echoed in the empty room for a long time. After a while, he stopped laughing and shook his head slightly, saying, "Madam Concubine Dowager, if it weren't for me, Yi Xiaochuan would have died a long time ago, and twice!"

Yi Huawei suddenly lost interest, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, it's over, I don't want to talk about it anymore."

As he said this, he threw the phone back to Yu Shu, who quickly reached out to catch it.

Yi Huawei smiled and said, "I'll return this phone to you as a keepsake for you. By the way, do you want to see your sweetheart?"

Yu Shu heard this, her body trembled slightly, hope instantly ignited in her red eyes, her anxiety was beyond words, and she asked hurriedly: "Xiao Chuan is in your hands? What did you do to him?"

"Nothing, just good food and drinks."

Yi Huawei smiled easily: "I'm not going to argue with a eunuch."

Yi Huawei's words instantly reminded Yu Shu of something she usually didn't want to think about.

I felt a sharp pain in my heart, as if I was hit hard by a heavy hammer. Yu Shu's face turned pale in an instant, and her pearly teeth bit her lower lip tightly. Her beautiful red lips almost lost their color. She looked at Yi Huawei hatefully: "You are not a eunuch yourself!!"

"Haha, unfortunately, it's not!"

Yi Huawei laughed loudly, with a hint of teasing in his voice. Then, he suddenly reached out his hand and pulled Yu Shu's hand without saying anything, letting her experience it for herself.

“Ah!! You…you!”

Caught off guard, Yu Shu's delicate body trembled violently, and she was stunned for a moment. For a moment, her mind went blank, and she had no idea what was going on. After realizing what she was holding, she quickly retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted. Her face instantly turned red, her eyes were full of shame and astonishment, and she bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth, glaring at Yi Huawei:
"Zhao Gao! You are shameless!"

But then she remembered something and looked at Yi Huawei with an expression of disbelief in her eyes:

"You..., how is it possible?"

"Do you know why I caught Yi Xiaochuan?"

Yi Huawei smiled faintly: "It's because he wanted to snatch the elixir of immortality and repair the defect, so he came to my door. I have been busy recently and didn't have time to pay attention to him. I just remembered him today when I had time... Queen Dowager, if you want to see Yi Xiaochuan, it's okay. As usual, I will take you to see him after that!" As he said, Yi Huawei sat down on the chair leisurely, stretched out a slender finger with distinct joints, and gently hooked it at Yu Shu.

"you……"

Yu Shu's delicate body trembled violently, and she bit her tender and tempting lower lip tightly. Her eyes were full of contradictions and entanglements, and her feet seemed to be fixed in place, and she did not move for a long time.

"It's not the first time, are you still shy?"

Yi Huawei smiled and said, "If you don't want to, forget it. I won't force you."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"and many more!"

Yu Shu's voice was weak and trembling, squeezed out from between her teeth with difficulty. She took a deep breath and slowly walked towards Yi Huawei.

Looking at Yu Shu in front of him, Yi Huawei did not hesitate to grab her slender waist and hug her tightly in his arms. Yu Shu struggled slightly, but soon gave up the resistance. She knew that in front of this man, her resistance was so powerless.

Yi Huawei lowered his head and kissed her lips domineeringly. Yu Shu's body stiffened instantly, her eyes widened, and her hands clenched into fists.

However, gradually, Yu Shu's eyes changed from the initial resistance to confusion. She closed her eyes slightly and began to respond.

Her hands slowly loosened and gently rested on Yi Huawei's shoulders. She tried to find a little comfort in this painful transaction, even if it was just a brief illusion. She told herself that all this was for Yi Xiaochuan, and as long as she could see him, everything would be worth it.

Yi Huawei felt the change in Yu Shu and hugged her even tighter, as if he wanted to melt her in his arms.

After an unknown amount of time, Yi Huawei finally let go of Yu Shu. Yu Shu collapsed to the ground as if she had lost all her strength, her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if her soul had been taken away.

Her longing for Yi Xiaochuan grew stronger and stronger, and at the same time she felt deeply disgusted with her own helplessness and weakness.

...............

Mangdang Mountain.

The mountains and forests are shrouded in mist, making it look like a fairyland, but also a bit desolate.

Whenever Liu Bang recalled this year, he felt like he was in a nightmare. His high-spirited appearance had long since disappeared. His clothes were tattered and covered with dirt and dust. His hair was messily scattered on his shoulders. He looked haggard and skinny.

The group of deserters who followed him were not much better off than him. They all looked exhausted, their eyes full of fear and anxiety. They were pale and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow them down. They looked at Liu Bang with dull eyes, as if they had lost hope for the future.

Liu Bang looked at these people, feeling helpless and anxious. They had been hiding here for so long, and all the pheasants and rabbits that could be hunted nearby had been hunted by them. Now they could only eat wild fruits every day, and winter was coming soon. The pressure of survival was getting greater and greater. Moreover, they were always in danger of being discovered by the government. Once discovered, others would not know, but they would definitely be faced with the most severe punishment.

Looking at Liu Bang, Liu Yi said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, we can't go on like this. We have to think of a solution quickly. If we continue like this, we will all starve to death here."

"We have to think of a way!"

Liu Bang frowned and nodded slowly. A trace of determination flashed across his tired eyes. He turned to look at the people in the room and said in a deep voice:

"Call all the brothers here, I have something to announce!"

"Yes! This should have been done a long time ago!"

Finally, he didn't have to endure this life here any longer. This life was simply unbearable. Liu Yi's eyes flashed with excitement, and he immediately turned around and walked out of the house, shouting as he walked: "Brothers, Brother Liu has something important to announce, come here quickly!"

Soon, people gathered around, all with haggard faces and dull eyes.

Liu Bang looked at the brothers who followed him to survive in Mangdang Mountain, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He cleared his throat and said, "Brothers, are you hungry?"

"Hungry~~"

"I'm hungry~~"

Everyone responded weakly, with endless fatigue and desire on their faces.

Liu Bang nodded heavily: "What should we do? We can only rob! So we brothers have to go down the mountain to grab food!"

After a pause, Liu Bang continued, "Here, let's set a rule! From now on, when we go down the mountain to rob food, we will only rob those with tiles on the roof. It doesn't matter if they eat less, but we can't rob those with thatched houses. It's useless to rob them because they have no food!"

"Yes!" A voice sounded, with a hint of recognition.

"Yes!!" More people echoed, as if they saw a glimmer of hope.

"What else..."

Liu Bang nodded and continued, "We are only allowed to rob food and not hurt anyone, let alone kill anyone! What if we kill someone?!"

Seeing Liu Bang's look, Liu Yi understood and immediately raised his arms and shouted: "You deserve to die!"

"Should I pay with my life?"

Liu Bang looked around with seriousness and expectation in his eyes.

Led by Liu Yi, a group of people nodded:

"Correct!"

"Yes, if you kill someone, you must pay with your life!"

"That's right, if you kill someone, you must pay with your life!"

Liu Bang felt a little nervous when he saw some people disagreeing. He slowed down his tone and explained patiently:

"Brothers, why do we have to sacrifice our lives? We are a group of fugitives now. The government won't care if we just steal some food. However, if a murder case occurs, the government will investigate it to the end, and everyone will be implicated! We can't bring disaster upon ourselves because of a momentary impulse."

Liu Bang waved his hand violently and said loudly:
"So, anyone who kills or injures others must be punished! Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices echoing in the valley with a resolute momentum.

Liu Bang nodded with satisfaction, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. Looking at these haggard but full of fighting spirit brothers in front of him, a sense of pride surged in his heart, he still had leadership charisma!
"Okay, let's make this a rule from now on!"

Liu Bang paused for a moment, and scanned the crowd, as if he wanted to imprint everyone's appearance in his mind. He waved his hand and said decisively:
"let's go!"
