Chapter 31: A crime in search of a pretext

At this moment, Qin Shi Huang, sitting on the dragon throne, spoke.

"Ye'er, why are you laughing?"

Qin Shi Huang's expression was calm; he wanted to see what Ying Zi Ye would do.

Xu Fu had run away, but Lu Sheng was still here.

Lu Sheng was bound to die today.

But he wanted to see what Ying Zi Ye would do.

Ying Ying Zi Ye stood up and bowed.

"Father Emperor, I am laughing because this alchemist Lu Sheng is ridiculous."

"He feels he cannot survive in the court anymore, so he wants to deceive Father Emperor one last time before leaving the court."

As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.

If this charge were confirmed, this group of alchemists would surely die!

But thinking of the reckless behavior of these alchemists on weekdays, the officials were overjoyed.

But not knowing the Emperor's thoughts, they dared not speculate.

Therefore, they dared not show their emotions on their faces.

One must know that alchemists had a lot of weight in the Emperor's eyes.

Lu Sheng was startled by these words.

He did not expect this waste Young Master to publicly slander him in the court hall.

Although this was the truth, there was no evidence!

Lu Sheng and the others knelt down immediately.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged! The Young Master is slandering me!"

"I am wholeheartedly wanting to share the worries for Your Majesty."

"Seeing Your Majesty's body declining day by day, I see it in my eyes and feel anxious in my heart."

Lu Sheng cried bitterly, looking as pitiful as could be.

Those who did not know might really think he was wronged.

"Xu Fu would never dare to deceive Your Majesty; there is truly an immortal island overseas."

"The immortal island is called Penglai! There are immortals on the island, and Xu Fu has already gone."

"Perhaps he was delayed by something, otherwise Xu Fu should have returned long ago."

Lu Sheng could only bring up Xu Fu's eastern voyage.

Otherwise, if this charge were confirmed, their group of alchemists would all be finished.

Lu Sheng insisted that they went to seek medicine.

The claim of deception was groundless.

"Oh, you say I am slandering you, then I ask you, what does Xu Fu want with three thousand boys and girls?"

"And you, why do you want to find him at this time?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye directly pressed him.

Lu Sheng looked at Qin Shi Huang, seeing that he had not spoken from beginning to end.

He knew that he was allowing this Young Master to 'mess around'.

Only by handling this boy could he survive this crisis.

Otherwise, today would be dangerous.

"Your Majesty, I encountered an immortal island last time I went to sea with Xu Fu, the name is Penglai, Penglai Immortal Island!"

"The reason Xu Fu wanted to take three thousand boys and girls was because they had to be offered to the immortals before they would give the immortal pill!"

"Perhaps he was delayed by something."

"That is why I want to go and investigate."

"If I dare to deceive Your Majesty, I am willing to have my three clans exterminated!"

"Everything is for Your Majesty to achieve longevity!"

Lu Sheng kept saying words like immortals and longevity.

Everyone in the world knew that Qin Shi Huang was obsessed with longevity all his life.

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would try it.

He was not afraid that Qin Shi Huang would not be tempted.

And now Qin Shi Huang's body was declining day by day.

He must be even more eager to achieve longevity. ===== CHAPTER 33 =====
