Chapter 29

But on the surface, he was extremely calm.

Now no one knew he only had twenty days of lifespan left.

He was trying to find a way to increase his lifespan.

If he could not do it, he would need to appoint a Crown Prince as soon as possible.

But he knew that wanting to find the resurrector could not be done overnight.

Finding the resurrector and appointing a Crown Prince needed to be done simultaneously.

Today, he had summoned all the princes to attend the morning court together.

Now, Qin Shi Huang needed to prepare for matters such as assessing all the princes.

He wanted to use this to assess the candidates for Crown Prince.

Qin Shi Huang dared not imagine what the consequences would be if he had another accident and someone rebelled again.

He would never let this happen again!

And Prince Fu Su had also rushed back now.

The court officials saw Prince Fu Su also in the court.

They were somewhat puzzled.

One must know that Prince Fu Su had been sent to the frontier for some time.

Now that he had suddenly returned, this made people curious.

Perhaps some major event was about to happen.

And Prince Yan had also not been to court for a long time.

Now everyone who should come, and those who should not, had all come.

The civil and military officials in the Qilin Hall looked at each other.

But they were all old hands and did not say anything reckless.

They could feel that the Emperor's mind was not on the court.

Was the Emperor so absent-minded on his first morning court after returning from his eastern tour?

But thinking about it, it made sense; after Qin Shi Huang returned from his trip to Outside Sucheng, he had aged a lot.

The dominance he once had remained only slightly on him.

Now it seemed only old age remained.

Feng Quji saw that no officials dared to speak, and he was about to stand up.

After all, he was the only Chancellor now.

He had to share the worries of the country, and this was also his duty.

Now the most important thing was to clarify the matter of Zhao Gao and the others.

The deaths of Li Si and Zhao Gao had a great impact.

This matter was fanned by the remnants of the six states.

It was spreading like wildfire among the people, and there were many anti-Qin voices everywhere.

This was not good for Great Qin's reputation, and this was what he urgently needed to do now.

But before he could stand up, a high-pitched, feminine voice of a eunuch came from outside the hall.

"Alchemists Lu Sheng, Han Zhong, and Hou Sheng request an audience with the Emperor!"

The officials in the hall turned to look outside the hall upon hearing this.

Qin Shi Huang sat on the dragon throne, and upon hearing these names, his expression darkened.

His body was declining by the day, and half the reason was because of this group of alchemists.

But now that he had just returned to Xianyang, they were jumping out impatiently.

He thought of the three thousand boys and girls he had promised Xu Fu.

He was so angry that he could not help himself.

But Xu Fu was gone, and he could only take his anger out on Lu Sheng and his group.

As for Xu Fu, he could only see if there was a chance to find him later.

"Let them in!"

Qin Shi Huang said with a gloomy face, trying hard to suppress his anger.

His eyes also glanced at Ying Ying Zi Ye, who was standing at the end of the hall.

Seeing this boy looking extremely bored, he felt somewhat helpless.

Thanks to Ying Zi Ye, otherwise he would not know the wolfish ambitions of this group of alchemists.

And when Ying Ying Zi Ye heard that Lu Sheng and the others were actually coming to the morning court hall.

His eyes lit up.

Good fellow, Brother Zheng was just preparing to find trouble with them.

They were good, they came up to him happily.

Were they in such a hurry to die?

Could it be that they knew his cheap old man was not long for this world and were preparing to run away?

He knew that the incident at Outside Sucheng could not be hidden.

The news might have already spread throughout Great Qin.

The remnants of the six states also took advantage of the situation, reversing right and wrong, and twisting the facts.

This move aroused public opinion, causing anti-Qin forces to become even more crazy.

Lu Sheng and the others arrived at the hall and bowed.

"See the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"See the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"See the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Qin Shi Huang looked lightly at Lu Sheng.

Trying hard to suppress his anger.

He wanted to see how Lu Sheng and the others would continue to act.

"Exempt from bowing."

"Why do you seek an audience with me?"

Lu Sheng took a box from his bosom and held it in his hands.

"Your Majesty, I have come to offer a 'Jin Dan'."

"I heard that Your Majesty has been feeling unwell recently, and taking the pill should help."

"In addition, there is a small matter, and I hope Your Majesty can agree."

Qin Shi Huang's expression darkened upon seeing the box.

They dared to come and offer poison, truly trying to kill him.

If he did not know that this so-called 'Jin Dan' was poison, he might have really consumed it again.

This group of alchemists really thought he was not dying fast enough.

Lu Sheng secretly looked at Qin Shi Huang.

Seeing the Emperor's expression was somewhat gloomy.

But he was not angry.

"Hearing that Your Majesty is unwell, I have come specifically to offer medicine."

"This is a Jin Dan I refined for eighty-one days, it will definitely help Your Majesty's body!"

Qin Shi Huang nodded slightly, without revealing any murderous intent.

"And what is the second matter?"

Lu Sheng was stunned upon hearing this.

The second matter?

Every time Xu Fu offered medicine, Qin Shi Huang would impatiently take it.

Why was Qin Shi Huang so calm now that he was offering medicine?

Lu Sheng was immediately confused.

Although somewhat strange, thinking of the second matter, he was too lazy to think about it.

"Your Majesty, the second matter is very important; I want to go to sea to find Xu Fu." ===== CHAPTER 31 =====
