Chapter 433: Ying Zheng

"This journey of tempering was quite good."

On Ying Zheng's gloomy face, a smile that had not appeared for a long time finally emerged.

"Many thanks for Father Emperor's concern; this time, this son has gained much."

Fusu recounted every experience from his journey to Ying Zheng, down to the smallest detail.

Upon hearing of the attitude with which the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery handled matters, a flash of killing intent appeared in the depths of Ying Zheng's eyes.

However, he suppressed this killing intent and continued to listen.

When he heard about the weapons used by the assassins, Ying Zheng's expression also changed.

"Is that thing truly as you described?"

Ying Zheng asked in pursuit.

"This son saw it with his own eyes."

"Moreover, every single silver needle was coated with a deadly poison; at close range, it was impossible to dodge."

After finishing, Fusu pulled up his trousers.

The lower part of his left leg was pitch black.

The entire lower leg looked as if it had been painted black.

When Ying Zheng saw Fusu's leg, he was instantly stunned.

"Was it not said that you only suffered severe injuries?"

In Ying Zheng's tone, there was an irrepressible fury.

"Summon the imperial physicians for me."

Watching Zhang Han dared not delay at this moment; all the imperial physicians were brought into Ying Zheng's palace.

This group of people examined the toxins on Prince Fusu's leg one by one.

But when faced with Ying Zheng's gaze, they all dodged it one after another.

Seeing this scene, Fusu let out a helpless, bitter laugh in his heart.

"Father Emperor, there is no need to force them further."

"That group of people would never let me live; this kind of poison has no antidote."

Fusu tried his best to appear indifferent.

But the bitter smile at the corner of his mouth betrayed him.

"I don't care what method you use, cure the poison in his body as quickly as possible."

"Otherwise, I will exterminate your nine clans."

Ying Zheng did not care about such things.

He did not keep this group of people just to feed them for free.

If they were useless when needed, then there was no need for them to live.

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on the faces of every imperial physician.

This poison was unprecedented and extremely fierce.

Even the poisoned blood released carried strong toxicity.

To concoct an antidote would likely take a very long time.

Prince Fusu simply could not wait that long.

Sounds of pleading for mercy rang out.

With the rising and falling sounds of begging, Ying Zheng's face became increasingly ugly.

"All of you, shut your mouths for me!"

"No matter what method you use, you must suppress the toxins in Fusu's body."

Ying Zheng no longer placed his hopes on these imperial physicians.

Whether it was the poison in his own body or the poison in Fusu's body,

This group of imperial physicians had no way to treat them.

They were all a bunch of quacks.

"Watching Zhang Han, go immediately to find a skilled physician; say it is to recuperate my body."

Ying Zheng also knew how much turmoil would be caused if the news that Fusu did not have long to live were exposed.

Therefore, he had to prepare in advance.

"Gai Nie, go and investigate the Mohist school for me."

"I want to see if this kind of thing was truly made by the Mohists."

"If it is truly the Mohists who created such a terrifying weapon, lead the army and exterminate them for me."

At this moment, Ying Zheng was like a lion that had been provoked.

He tried to suppress his anger.

But whether it was his voice or his face, one could feel that wave of fury.

Wang Fu.

Because Ying Zheng's attention was drawn by Prince Fusu, he had not yet summoned Wang Jian and Wang Ben.

Wang Ben naturally followed his father's pace of returning to the court and arrived back in Xianyang City.

As soon as he returned, he reported the news he had learned to Wang Jian.

"The Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery, Qi Huaizhi, is Feng Quji's man."

"Father, it was Feng Quji who attacked us from behind back then."

Wang Ben's eyes held an irrepressible fury.

If Feng Quji had not made a move, the subsequent series of events would not have happened.

Prince Fusu would not have been ambushed and injured at that time.

He also did not know if Ying Zheng would implicate them because of Prince Fusu's injury.

Wang Jian was slightly surprised when he heard this news.

In the entire imperial court, the one who was most at odds with him was Li Si.

Because of Feng Quji, he had long been squeezed out of the center of the vortex of power by Li Si.

Therefore, he had long ago lost the qualifications to be mentioned in the same breath as Wang Jian.

Wang Jian naturally would not take Feng Quji seriously, even though he was also a Chancellor.

For Wang Jian, Feng Quji was just a loser.

Yet he did not expect that Li Si's downfall would actually allow Feng Quji to obtain such great benefits.

Back then, their Wang family also wanted to get a share of the pie.

But they did not expect that behind this Feng Quji, there seemed to be a mysterious force.

He gathered all of Li Si's authority back into the hands of Feng Quji.

"Behind this Feng Quji, there is definitely someone."

Wang Jian said with a gloomy face.

"Then are we just going to let this matter go unsettled?"

Wang Ben was somewhat dissatisfied.

"... How is that possible?"

"This matter cannot pass so easily."

"Since Feng Quji did not hesitate to expose Qi Huaizhi, then it would be better to directly cut off one of his arms."

A fierce look flashed in Wang Jian's eyes. ===== CHAPTER 435 =====
