Chapter 102

"Eat it."

Subsequently, Qin Shi Huang signaled for Zhang Han to feed the elixir on the table to this palace maid.

Zhang Han’s pupils widened slightly.

He knew that these elixirs were specially refined for His Majesty by alchemists.

His Majesty’s body had been unwell recently, and he relied entirely on this kind of elixir for recuperation.

Although he was suspicious in his heart, his actions were not slow.

By Qin Shi Huang’s side, he clearly knew one thing.

Do not ask why, just do as you are told.

……

……

……

The palace maid did not dare to defy Qin Shi Huang’s fate.

Although the atmosphere in the palace was very oppressive, she still obediently ate the elixir.

As soon as the elixir entered her abdomen, a trace of ruddiness appeared on the palace maid’s pale face.

Qin Shi Huang’s gaze was fixed tightly on the palace maid’s changes.

The palace maid had originally thought that what she ate was poison.

Next, she would surely die.

Yet she did not expect that the elixir did not cause her to die immediately.

Instead, as soon as it entered her abdomen, it brought a warm current to her whole body.

"How do you feel?"

Qin Shi Huang’s gaze was fixed tightly on the palace maid, and then he asked.

"Replying to Your Majesty, I only feel a warm current throughout my body."

The palace maid obediently answered Qin Shi Huang’s words.

Qin Shi Huang’s eyes lowered slightly, and finally he waved his hand to let her go.

After the palace maid left, Qin Shi Huang said to Zhang Han.

"In the next few days, feed her five pills every day."

Although looking at the palace maid’s changes just now, it did not seem like there was a problem with the elixir.

But for some reason, the Ghost’s words still left a deep mark in Qin Shi Huang’s heart.

Qin Shi Huang decided to test this elixir.

Zhang Han did not know what His Majesty had encountered when he went out of the palace, but he did not dare to refute Qin Shi Huang’s order.

After Ge Nie went out of the palace, he immediately arrived at Li Si’s mansion.

As the Left Chancellor, and with Qin Shi Huang’s favor, his mansion was very easy to find.

Ge Nie also did not know why the first target he chose to investigate after leaving the palace was Li Si.

Perhaps he had already determined in his heart that Li Si was definitely involved in the events of that year.

Inside the study,

Li Si held a letter in his hand, and he finished reading the contents of the letter with a gloomy face.

Subsequently, he found a fire-starter and lit the envelope.

The entire letter burned to ashes in the fire.

Li Si sat quietly on the chair.

He really did not expect that so many things had happened during this period.

There was movement outside the door.

The servant came up to report that a lord had come to visit.

Li Si tidied his sleeves, opened the study door, and walked out.

Regardless, the power system in his hands had to be maintained.

And this was the foundation upon which he could survive.

Not long after he went out, a figure appeared in the study.

Ge Nie looked around Li Si’s study.

Those sharp eyes searched everywhere for anything he felt was suspicious.

The pile of ashes on the ground soon attracted Ge Nie’s attention.

Staring tightly at the pile of ashes, Ge Nie did not approach it.

He absolutely could not leave any traces in Li Si’s study.

Ge Nie knew that he had definitely arrived a step too late, allowing Li Si to destroy some evidence.

However, he did not let go of other things and began to search carefully inside the study.

……

After finishing the matter, Li Si rubbed his somewhat swollen head.

Recent events had happened one after another, too many.

The annoyance on his face instantly turned into vigilance the moment he opened the study door.

For some reason, he always felt that the study had undergone a slight change.

This change was very slight.

But he was an extremely cautious person.

His caution also successfully allowed him to transform from a commoner into a Chancellor.

Li Si trusted his caution very much.

Someone had been here.

This thought immediately appeared in his mind.

Li Si’s gaze immediately focused on the pile of ashes on the ground.

The ashes were still the same as when he had just left, without any changes.

What was going on?

"After I left, did anyone come here?"

Li Si looked at the servant outside his door.

His study was the most important place in the entire mansion, so there were people guarding it all year round.

Li Si regarded his study as more important than any other place.

"No."

The servant outside the door said very affirmatively.

He had been on duty all day today, and absolutely no one had entered the lord’s study.

But even after receiving the servant’s affirmative answer, Li Si’s suspicion did not change.

Late at night,

candle flames flickered in the room.

At this time, most people had already fallen into a deep sleep.

It was quiet outside.

Li Si did not sleep, but was thinking about countermeasures.

Today, regardless of whether anyone had come to his study or not, it had served as a reminder.

He must have attracted the attention of some people.

Just as Li Si was pondering how to solve this matter next,

a black shadow, carrying the sound of breaking air, flew in through the window.

Li Si’s gaze subconsciously focused on the object thrown into the room.

His figure soon appeared at the window, opening it to look outside.

Outside was still the familiar scene, without any changes.

Returning to the room, he looked at the object that had just been thrown in.

Paper wrapped around a stone.

Li Si took off the paper ball.

It was clearly written on the paper ball.

"At the hour of the horse, the courtyard in the eastern suburbs outside the city."

Seeing the paper ball, Li Si’s eyes immediately became deep.

He did not know who the person who called him out to meet in the middle of the night was, but he had a vague guess in his heart.

At the hour of the horse.

Eastern suburbs outside Nanyang City.

A figure wrapped in a black robe appeared on the small road.

Li Si vigilantly looked around, and after seeing no movement, he slowly quickened his pace.

Arriving at the courtyard.

Just as he opened the door, he saw a familiar figure.

"It’s so late, why did you call me out?"

This figure was very familiar.

Donghuang Taiyi’s cold gaze also focused on Li Si at the door.

"Didn't you send a message for me to come over?"

Hearing Donghuang Taiyi’s words, Li Si’s brows furrowed.

"I never sent you any message at all."

A bad premonition flashed through both of their hearts at the same time.

Who was it that knew they were in contact?

And had called them both out at the same time.

"Fool, have you been played by someone?"

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Li Si with disdain.

Beneath the mask, his brows were tightly furrowed.

A cold sneer appeared on Li Si’s face.

"If I have been played, can you escape?"

"Don't forget, tonight it wasn't just me who came, you came too."

"If something really happened to me, do you think you would get away with it?"

Li Si’s words caused Donghuang Taiyi’s face to turn gloomy instantly.

But Donghuang Taiyi had to admit that Li Si was right.

Tonight, they had both been called out by someone at the same time.

But the key was that neither of them knew who had called them out.

If the other party really had a conspiracy, tonight, they would definitely be wiped out in one go.
