"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Are you Zhang Zifang?"
"Look up."
Chu Yuening looked at the frail young man carefully.
She has delicate features, elegant temperament, and a pair of eyes brighter than the stars that are very impressive.
Who would have thought that such a handsome young man could have such amazing talent?
At the same time, Zhang Liang also quickly glanced at the famous queen.
With bright eyes and white teeth, she looks like a goddess, and her radiance makes people forget the world.
He had heard of the queen's many achievements and knew her noble character of caring about the world and treating the people well.
When he first learned that the target of the assassination was the queen, he felt a sense of regret in his heart, but the arrow had been shot and could not be retrieved.
So, after the plan failed, he was relieved.
"Are you still not willing to give up?"
Chu Yuening exposed the truth without any concealment, her face calm.
Zhang Liang, who had originally held a glimmer of hope in his heart, was completely disheartened and laughed at himself miserably.
"My Zhang family has been ministers of Han for five generations, and now it's all gone in one day. How can I accept this?"
"But...even the heavens have sent a dragon to protect you, what can I do?"
"It's just a way to survive after all."
After he finished speaking, murderous intent flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes. Chu Yuening held his hand and asked bluntly.
"Oh? Is it just because of the dragon?"
"Isn't it because the people have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, that they are willing to call themselves Qin people?"
"Besides, South Korea is weak, and its annexation is inevitable. You are not naive enough to think that the seven countries can live in peace, are you?"
"Weakness is the original sin, and falling behind will lead to being beaten."
Zhang Liang's expression was painful, and these words cruelly revealed the bloody truth.
But Chu Yuening still pressed on.
"Besides, even if you succeed in assassinating His Majesty, what will happen? If the Han and Zhang families can't return, the world will be plunged into war again, and the people will be torn apart and displaced..."
"Is this what you wish for?"
“That’s enough!”
"Yes, yes, there is no going back..."
Zhang Liang let out a mournful cry, and the sadness and despair hidden in his heart poured out one by one.
After a moment, Chu Yuening stared at the pain and confusion on the boy's face and comforted him softly.
"Zhang Liang, since you've come all the way to the Imperial Academy, I assume you came here for those four words, right?"
"Why dwell on the past? Things have come to this point, and there's no turning back. It's better to let go and live for yourself."
The soothing sound, like a clear mountain spring, slightly relaxed Zhang Liang's tense nerves.
He stammered a few times, and a tear leaked from the corner of his rosy eye, taking away the depression and heaviness that had been weighing on his chest for years.
"Empress, I know you want to recruit me."
"Could you give me some time to think about it?"
