As Zhanshi pace outside trying to think of a plan to interrupt Shen, he overheard Shen telling Rin to tell a maid to prepare two meals. Smirking to himself and rubbing his hands together, Zhanshi decides that he’ll intercept the maid and go into the room that way.
Zhanshi carry the food up to the door and coerce Rin to not say anything and knocked on the door once. But without waiting for Shen to come open the door, he went into the room. Once he is in the room, he quickly walks towards the bedroom and was surprise by the scene of Shen kissing Aixin.

As Zhanshi recalled the information, he’s eye’s widen and his jaw dropped slightly.
“...you mean to say that, that gir..er boy was the one that you were with last night.”
Shen took a sip from his cup of tea and nods his head once.
Zhanshi lean back on his chair and gave a --slight laugh + hah-- and said “...No wonder the emperor declare him the royal concubine. He is so beauti-”
Zhanshi saw the serious glare on Shen’s face at the mention of the emperor and decided to not finish the sentence. Instead, he laughs and said humorously, “..OH, so this is why you wanted to keep the emperor busy, you sneaky wolf! ”
Shen just gave him a big devilish smile and finished his cup of tea.
After some thought, Zhanshi smile back at him and said, “But Shen, what will you do after the end of this week. You can’t keep the emperor away from his conc...er..that person forever.”
With the devilish smile still plastered on Shen’s face, he replies “ Has anyone ever been able to stop me from getting what I

In 211 BCE, another ruler was thinking the same thing about himself. Shi Huangdi looks at the field of peasants laboring away. He liberated all of China, started the production of the Great Wall of China, reformed the political system, and put down any opposition dared to show its head. He smiles to himself, remembering his claim that his
Aixin quickly stood up and enthusiastically asks, “Then can i see it please!” But shen just laughs and says, “How bout I show you a real bunny instead.”
In October of 211 B.C E., the First Emperor set sail for his fifth tour of his empire. The emperor was looking for an elixir of immortality. The elixir was stuck on an island guarded by a sea monster. Along side him during his journey was, Li Si, Meng Yi, and Zhao Gao. Li Si was still the prime minister during the Qin Dynasty. Meng Yi was the younger brother of General Meng Tian. Zhao Ghao was a palace eunuche and minor official of low rank (85). During this time, the First Emperor was already afraid of death. He had undergone assassination attempts before the journey. He was also seeking immortality. After nine months on the journey, the emperor was nine thousand miles away from home. The emperor suddenly became ill (87). The Qin Dynasty
The Emperor usulally gets the last word in anything that happens in his nation. This rank is went on, not picked up.
With the events taking place, “he” abdicated over concern for the future of the nation. The stamp of the Emperor and the signatures of those ministers gave verification to the document. The letter’s intent was simple and straightforward, to bring into the conflicts and to form a government of all the people.

Sebald described the second emperor, Kaung-hsu, as being “fascinated by the mysteries of modern machines” (152). Although this may seem like a minute detail, Kaung Hsu’s love of modern machines is a representation of his favor for modernization. It was this interest in modernization that eventually led to a great disagreement with the Empress (152). Once it was clear that Tz’u-hsi would deny the nation of Kaung-hsu’s ideas of modernization, Kaung-hsu attempted to “wrest power to himself” and was stopped by the Empress (152). The Empress then imprisoned Kaung-hsu in a moated palace (152). Once the Emperor was confined, the Empress would be able to rule uncontested for as long as she lived and as long as the Emperor was powerless. To keep the Emperor powerless, Tz’u-hsi made sure that he stayed isolated for ten years until the late summer of 1908 when he started having “chronic headaches and backache, renal cramps, hypersensitivity to

As Zhanshi approaches JingYi’s room, he was surprised to hear screaming from inside the room. “Ahhhh...HOW CAN HE DO THIS TO ME!!!!...Ahhhhh ---crash--smash--”. { What is going on inside there?! } Zhanshi question to himself and pushes the door of the room open. As he walks into the room, he was again surprised to see it in a mess.
“You look gorgeous, My Lady! Absolutely beautiful! I have never seen such beauty like you in all the Seven Kingdoms, Lady Kang. Perfectly fitting for the next Crown Princess.
