Chapter 32

~6 min read 1,055 words

Qin Shi Huang, sitting on the dragon throne, twitched his eyelids.

To be honest, he was tempted.

If it were not for the previous rabbit medicine test, which tested that the Jin Dan was poison.

He would have really let Lu Sheng go out and find Xu Fu.

But now, seeing Lu Sheng telling lies with his eyes open, he was furious.

At this moment, Ying Ying Zi Ye laughed out loud again.

Lu Sheng's whole face darkened.

Looking at Ying Ying Zi Ye with extremely sinister eyes.

"Young Master, what do you mean by this?"

"I admit I have not offended you, why do you want to frame me everywhere?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye glanced at Lu Sheng with disdain.

"That is not true, you have not offended me, but you have committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor!"

Lu Sheng knelt on the ground, and upon hearing the words 'crime of deceiving the Emperor', his whole body could not help but shudder.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

"The Young Master is slandering me!"

But Qin Shi Huang just watched, without saying much.

It seemed he wanted the Young Master to handle this matter.

And the atmosphere among the court officials also froze slightly.

It seemed the Emperor was considering the Young Master.

Leaving this matter to the Young Master to be responsible for.

And Hou Sheng and Han Dong, who came with Lu Sheng, also knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

They truly did not know that such a thing would happen this time.

They were defending themselves one after another.

They did not expect things to develop to this point.

This made the two of them terrified.

Originally, they wanted to see the court hall one last time.

And then leave their hometown after offering the medicine.

But who knew such a thing would happen.

Lu Sheng saw Qin Shi Huang's performance, and his heart sank.

If he could not pass the Young Master's hurdle, he might be carried out horizontally today.

"Young Master, you say I have committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor, you might as well say it out loud."

Xu Fu also went all out; if he could not handle the Young Master, he might just die.

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled calmly; since he was idle, it was not impossible to argue.

"How could an immortal need to be offered three thousand boys and girls? If that were really the case, would they still be immortals?"

"Xu Fu's move is to find a place where no one is to claim kingship and hegemony."

"Otherwise, he would not only want boys and girls, that is because he cannot control adults."

Ying Ying Zi Ye broke the matter of the boys and girls in one word.

The civil and military officials nodded secretly upon hearing this, what he said really made sense.

Xu Fu did not want three thousand adults, because he was afraid he could not control them.

Adults were certainly not as easy to control as children.

Everyone looked at Lu Sheng with unkind eyes.

Now that Xu Fu was not here, any anger could only be vented on Lu Sheng and the other three.

"Let me guess, that overseas immortal island you discovered."

"Its true appearance should actually be like this."

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the hundred officials in the court.

"Overseas immortal island, named Penglai, there is a group of uncivilized natives living on the island."

"You happened to have been there once with Xu Fu."

"So Xu Fu started his plan."

"And Xu Fu has already realized his plan."

"Just for some reason, he did not take you with him."

Lu Sheng's heart jumped wildly upon hearing Ying Ying Zi Ye's words.

Is this Young Master still a waste Young Master?

These remarks do not look like a waste at all.

"Now that you know Father Emperor is suffering from illness, you also want Great Qin."

"You might hide yourselves when you leave this time."

"Or go to Penglai Island to find Xu Fu, after all, he took three thousand boys and girls."

"This is a huge human resource, as long as they are cultivated well, those boys and girls can become your subordinates."

"But what you should not have done is want to frame Father Emperor!"

"The pills refined by you alchemists are all chronic poisons!"

"The reason Father Emperor is suffering from illness is largely because he ate the pills you refined."

"You will all have your three clans exterminated!"

Boom~~!

The entire court exploded.

Civil and military officials whispered to each other.

"There is chronic poison in the pills?"

"The alchemists have wolfish ambitions!"

"I had long seen through that this group of alchemists were not good things!"

"Daring to poison the Emperor, this is a capital crime!"

"The Emperor became so weak because he ate the pills, no wonder, how bold!"

"If this is really the case, then these alchemists deserve to be killed ten thousand times!"

Slowly, the whispering also gradually quieted down.

Some officials suddenly thought, could it be that the Emperor felt he was not long for this world.

And was preparing to find various excuses to launch a massacre?

To pave the way for the next emperor?

Start with the alchemists first, then the ministers?

If there was no proof, killing so many alchemists like this would not look good if it spread out.

It would also make people suspect there might be something fishy!

Thinking of this, some officials broke out in cold sweat.

Prince Fu Su and the other princes looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with surprise.

Their feeling was that this boy was different from before.

He used to be a salted fish, a playboy.

But now he could say such remarks.

And this was wanting to eradicate this group of alchemists!

Prince Fu Su frowned; he also did not like this group of alchemists, so he did not speak.

Ying Ying Zi Ye took in everyone's expressions.

Knowing that without some proof, it would be difficult to convince the public.

Originally, he could have killed them directly without needing any reason.

But to stabilize the hearts of the court and not make people panic.

It was better to have proof to stand on firmer ground.

Lu Sheng was terrified.
