Chapter 282

When Fu Nian learned that after Ying Zheng left, Fusu would handle the court's political affairs.

A surge of wild joy could not help but rise on his face.

He had been waiting for this matter for a long time.

Finally, he had waited for Fusu to stand at the highest point of the entire circle.

Although it was only temporary for now.

But as long as he assisted Fusu and stood firmly in this position during this time.

Inheriting that position later would just be a matter of course.

"Young Master, you must know that this time is not only a test from His Majesty for you, but also a test from the entire Great Qin for you."

Fu Nian said.

"I naturally understand all of this, I am just worried that I might not do well, and will be unable to answer to Father Emperor, and unable to answer to the people."

Fusu had a look of worry.

"Please rest assured, Young Master, we will definitely assist you loyally."

Fu Nian immediately knelt in front of Fusu and promised him.

Fusu pulled Fu Nian up from the ground and said.

"Teacher, please rise quickly."

"Why perform such a great ceremony."

Although Fusu's status was higher than Fu Nian's, Fu Nian was, after all, his teacher.

Fu Nian remembered another important matter he had come for today.

"Young Master, there is one matter."

"Although it is a bit abrupt, I still want to ask for your help."

When Fu Nian said these words, his cheeks were slightly flushed.

He had never begged anyone in his life, but thinking of his little junior brother's wretched state on the sickbed.

Fu Nian finally suppressed the discomfort in his heart and spoke to Fusu.

"Teacher, please speak, if there is anything this student can do, I will definitely not refuse."

Fusu had never seen Fu Nian in this posture before and immediately spoke.

"This old man wants to know where the antidote Young Master Fusu took back then came from?"

Fu Nian spoke.

Fusu did not expect that this was what his teacher wanted to know, and he was slightly stunned.

He remembered the words his Father Emperor had said in his ear when he received the antidote back then.

"This antidote was given by the ghost, as for whether to believe it or not, you decide for yourself."

The words from back then echoed in his ears once again.

The medicine was given by the ghost.

But the ghost was too mysterious, and there was simply no way to know his whereabouts.

If he did not appear on his own, no one could track his whereabouts.

"Teacher, this..."

A very difficult look appeared on Fusu's face.

If he explained to his teacher that this medicine was given by the ghost.

It would be no different from exposing the connections between the ghost and the Great Qin Imperial Palace to everyone.

Although Fusu himself did not know why the ghost would cooperate with his Father Emperor.

But he also knew that their cooperation was established in private.

Although he trusted Fu Nian relatively, he also knew that some things were not easy to say out loud.

Fu Nian seemed to see the hesitation in Fusu's eyes.

He spoke first, interrupting Fusu's words.

"Young Master, this old man truly does not want to see my little junior brother wailing in pain on the sickbed every day."

"Young Master has also been poisoned with the same toxin, so you should be able to understand the pain when the poison flares up."

Fu Nian knew how to strike at Fusu's heart.

Sure enough, after hearing Fu Nian's words, the conflicted look on Fusu's face deepened.

Seeing this look on Fusu's face, Fu Nian knew whether he should add fuel to the fire.

"Young Master, for the sake of the times you and Zhang Liang have shared through thick and thin, please save him."

Having said this, Fu Nian's body began to slowly move downward, seemingly wanting to kneel in front of Fusu once again.

Fusu held Fu Nian's body and said.

"Teacher, do not be anxious."

"It is truly not that I am unwilling to agree to Teacher, but that the elixir is too hard to find."

"And the elixir was not found by me."

Fusu said with difficulty.

"Then can the Young Master tell this old man, who exactly found the elixir?"

Fu Nian raised his head, his gaze fixed on Fusu's eyes.

"That elixir was given to me by Father Emperor."

Fusu said.

Actually, Fu Nian had already had some psychological preparation for this answer.

After all, during that time, Fusu was immersed in the world of books every day, unwilling to communicate with the outside world.

Being able to get the elixir could only be because of Ying Zheng.

"Can the Young Master think of a way."

A look of pleading appeared on Fu Nian's face at the right time.

He was truly at his wit's end; if he had any ability to find the antidote, he would not have begged Fusu here.

Fusu also understood Fu Nian's character.

Knowing that his teacher could say such words meant he was truly at his wit's end.

"I cannot guarantee that I will definitely be able to find the antidote, I need to discuss this matter with Father Emperor."

Fusu said.

"Then many thanks, Young Master..."

This time, Fu Nian did not stop Fusu, but insisted on kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to thank Fusu.

Looking at the hope in Fu Nian's eyes, Fusu could only head toward Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters.

Inside Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters.

"Your Majesty, all matters have been prepared properly."

Zhang Han said from the side.

The Emperor leaving the palace was naturally not a small matter.

There were many things that needed to be prepared.

And in this world, there were countless people who wanted Ying Zheng to die.

Ying Zheng naturally knew this point as well.

So by his side, a group of people for protection had long been arranged by Zhang Han.

"Zhang Han, this time you do not need to go to Zhongshan with me."

"Just let Ge Nie stay by my side."

"You stay in the palace, follow by Fusu's side, and assist him in handling political affairs."

Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, this must not be."

"If I do not follow by your side, those people will definitely make a move against you."

Zhang Han said hurriedly.

If he did not follow by Ying Zheng's side, that group of people who knew Ying Zheng's background would definitely take this opportunity to make a move against Ying Zheng.

If it were before, Zhang Han would still have the confidence to say he could protect His Majesty's safety.

But after experiencing so many things, Zhang Han deeply realized the weakness of his own strength.

Even Ge Nie, whose strength was superior to his, was just an ant in front of that group of people.

Once those who chose to make a move against His Majesty were those with high strength.
