Chapter 435: Speculation about Wang Jian, investigate the Confucian school

Inside the palace of Xianyang City.

Within the study, besides Ying Zheng, only Watching Zhang Han was standing beside him.

Ying Zheng's gaze was fixed straight on the memorial in his hand, but his hands made no movement.

"Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng had been deep in thought for too long; Watching Zhang Han carefully reminded him from the side.

This soft call brought Ying Zheng's thoughts back.

"I am thinking, about Fusu's assassination this time."

"Is there Wang Jian's handiwork in this?"

This was a question he had been considering during this period.

Wang Jian had always been a target of his suspicion.

After all, back then his Mo'er was in the army, which could be considered as having a conflict of interest with Wang Jian.

After Ying Mo died, the benefits Wang Jian obtained were no less than others.

Just this point alone made Ying Zheng unable to let go of his suspicion of Wang Jian.

"This subordinate has already sent people to investigate; Old General Wang Jian has not colluded with anyone."

Watching Zhang Han said.

"Indeed."

"He indeed has not colluded with anyone."

"He even chose to close his doors and not go out in order to deal with me."

Ying Zheng let out a heavy sigh.

If it were not for the fact that multiple investigations had failed to catch Wang Jian's handle,

he would not have kept hiding and not acting.

"How is it over at Fusu's side?"

Ying Zheng then asked again.

Fusu's leg had a deadly poison, making walking inconvenient; since returning to the palace, he had been unwilling to come out.

"The Prince has been locking himself in the palace reading books every day during this period."

"Looking at his appearance, there doesn't seem to be any major problem."

Watching Zhang Han hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Prince Fusu's expression did not look like he was seeking death.

Anyone who learned that their life did not have much time left would likely have their personality change drastically.

Some would become insane, while others would become passive.

Prince Fusu did not have such changes.

Such a Prince Fusu made Watching Zhang Han somewhat worried.

"Your Majesty, Prince Fusu knows his life is short; will he do something?"

Watching Zhang Han said.

"Is there still no news from the divine physician?"

Ying Zheng did not answer this question.

Regarding this son, Ying Zheng also dared not be certain of what he was thinking in his heart.

He felt that this son, at this moment, was somewhat like him.

From Fusu's eyes, even Ying Zheng could not see through his heart.

"There is no news from the divine physician yet, but this subordinate received an elixir, saying this elixir can save Prince Fusu's life."

"Because there is only one elixir, this subordinate dared not gamble."

After finishing, Watching Zhang Han took the elixir out from his person.

Actually, he did not intend to hand the elixir over to Ying Zheng.

There was still a long time, and within this time, it was entirely possible to find a divine physician to resolve the poison on Prince Fusu.

After that person gave the elixir, he immediately disappeared without a trace.

Regarding such a mysterious person and the elixir he gave, Watching Zhang Han felt it was untrustworthy.

"Your Majesty, after that person gave the elixir, he disappeared without a trace."

"This subject truly dared not bring this elixir out."

Ying Zheng's gaze looked at the elixir.

As soon as he opened the bottle, a faint fragrance of the elixir drifted out from inside.

Upon seeing this elixir, his mind immediately thought of the elixir the ghost had given him back then.

It also had a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

Could this elixir be from that person?

Ying Zheng's eyes fluctuated a few times.

"Divine physician, continue to search."

"If the divine physician has not been found after ten days, then have Fusu take this elixir."

Ying Zheng tossed the elixir back into Watching Zhang Han's hand.

Watching Zhang Han's brows furrowed, and he was somewhat hesitant. ===== CHAPTER 437 =====
