Chapter 106: Cleaning Out the Entire Qilin Hall, Killing Intent Rises, Ying Zheng

Ten days passed in a flash.

These past few days, Xianyang City had been unusually calm.

Inside the imperial palace,

Ying Zheng had Zhang Han feed the palace maid elixirs every day.

And as the palace maid saw herself taking elixirs every day while her body became better and better, she slowly relaxed.

She guessed in her heart,

perhaps His Majesty just wanted to find someone to test the medicine.

In the following days, Ying Zheng increased the dosage even further.

The palace maid needed to take an elixir every interval of time.

"How is her body?"

Ying Zheng lowered his eyes slightly and asked Zhang Han, who was standing to the side.

During this period, having the palace maid take the elixirs was Zhang Han’s entire job.

And Zhang Han also carefully observed the changes in the palace maid’s body every day.

"Replying to Your Majesty."

"In the first few days, that palace maid’s body became better and better, and she seemed to have become a bit more robust. '753'"

"Ever since you ordered the dosage to be increased, that palace maid seems to have had some changes."

Zhang Han recounted everything he had observed over these past few days to him one by one.

"Are you saying that in these past few days, she has actually felt her body becoming somewhat weak?"

Ying Zheng’s body moved slightly, and he opened his eyes to look at Zhang Han.

During this period, before he started taking the elixirs, he had felt uncomfortable all over.

His entire body felt as painful as if it were being bitten by ants.

But Ying Zheng had endured all of this.

In the first few days, when he saw the palace maid’s body becoming better and better, Ying Zheng had originally had some doubts in his heart.

But after feeling the changes in his own body when he did not take the elixirs,

Ying Zheng was already certain in his heart.

These elixirs definitely had problems.

After waiting for so long, he had finally waited for a result.

"Continue to increase the dosage for me, and have her take it daily."

He ordered.

Zhang Han nodded; he had also seen the trick to these elixirs.

Because recently, due to his physical weakness, Ying Zheng had not attended the morning court for a long time.

Zhang Han having that palace maid enter every day had long since attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives in the palace.

"Lord Zhang, have you heard?"

"Is there anyone who hasn't heard?"

"I heard that His Majesty summons that palace maid into the hall every day, and is even unwilling to attend the morning court."

The ministers soon learned the reason why Ying Zheng was unwilling to attend the morning court.

Angry expressions flashed across their eyes one after another.

They all felt that it was that palace maid who was spreading demonic words to confuse His Majesty.

That was why His Majesty was even unwilling to attend the morning court.

Li Si naturally also heard the discussions of his colleagues nearby.

A flash of contemplation crossed his eyes.

Based on his understanding of Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng was not someone who would indulge in female beauty.

What Ying Zheng valued most was naturally the power in his hands.

How could the previously diligent Ying Zheng be unwilling to even attend the morning court?

Li Si suppressed the doubts in his eyes and prepared to go and investigate the news.

Outside the Qilin Hall,

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li requests an audience."

The palace attendant told Ying Zheng the news of Li Si’s request for an audience.

A glint flashed in Ying Zheng’s eyes, which had been squinting all along.

"Summon him."

A low and weak voice sounded.

Li Si heard Ying Zheng’s voice from outside the door, and he already had secret guesses in his heart.

Perhaps there was another important reason why Ying Zheng was not attending the morning court, which was that his body was no longer able to support him in attending the morning court.

It seemed that just as Donghuang Taiyi had said, Ying Zheng’s body had completely collapsed.

It was feared that before long, Ying Zheng would completely die.

Thinking of their previous plan, Li Si secretly decided in his heart to accelerate the progress of his work.

"Your Majesty."

Entering the palace, he raised his head to look slightly at Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon couch.

Li Si quickly lowered his head.

He knew very well that even in a weak state, Ying Zheng would not like someone who dared to look him directly in the eye.

Ying Zheng liked the feeling of being above everything else.

Li Si tried his best to lower his body to ensure that Ying Zheng’s gaze toward him was from a superior position.

Ying Zheng lifted his eyelids and looked at Li Si, who was kneeling there.

"What is the matter?"

The voice sounded somewhat breathless.

"Your subject has heard that recently, Your Majesty has been favoring a palace maid every day."

"Why does Your Majesty not take that palace maid into the inner palace?"

When Li Si came over, several colleagues had asked Li Si to deal with the palace maid at Ying Zheng’s side.

But Li Si decided to let Ying Zheng take that palace maid as a concubine.

Ying Zheng’s eyebrows twitched.

His gaze looked toward Zhang Han, who was standing to the side.

"Summon her, confer the title of Lady."

Zhang Han immediately understood His Majesty’s meaning. .....

That palace maid entering and leaving His Majesty’s palace every day had long since attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives.

If she were conferred the title of concubine, it would be logical.

"Yes."

After receiving the decree, Zhang Han walked out.

Li Si saw that just because of his suggestion, His Majesty had decided to follow it.

The suspicion of Ying Zheng in his heart slowly faded away a bit.

Previously, someone had entered his study, and he had been guessing whether it was Ying Zheng who had acted or Ghost.

As for Ying Zheng, Li Si also did not know what he was thinking.

But one thing Li Si could be certain of was that if Ying Zheng knew that he had participated in that matter five years ago,

Ying Zheng would absolutely not let him off.

But looking at this scene, Ying Zheng seemed to not know at all that he had also participated in that matter five years ago.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

While Li Si felt a sense of relief in his heart, he said this with his mouth.

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and a look of fatigue flashed across his face.

"Your subject takes his leave."
