Chapter 1158

Since Su Xuan came out of seclusion after comprehending the Heavenly Star, several more months had passed.

During these months, Seeing Ying Zheng did one more thing.

That was to appoint Young Master Fu Su as Crown Prince.

Over the past few years, he had always kept Young Master Fu Su by his side to teach him, and he forbade Fu Su from coming into contact with those corrupt Confucian scholars. Every day when he was free, he would teach Fu Su the way of governing the country. Many ministers knew that His Majesty the Emperor was cultivating Fu Su as his successor.

Therefore, there was no surprise regarding Fu Su being appointed Crown Prince.

On the contrary, they felt much more at ease because of this matter.

After all, it had been a full thirty-seven years since His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne.

No one knew how much longer His Majesty the Emperor would stay on the throne, so appointing the Crown Prince early could be considered a good thing; after all, the Emperor had indeed been on the throne for a long time.

After appointing Fu Su as Crown Prince, Seeing Ying Zheng felt that he did not have much time left in this world.

He frequently delegated power and let Fu Su supervise the state.

This made many ministers extremely surprised, but after all, this was His Majesty the Emperor's decision, so they could not say anything and could only try their best to assist Fu Su in governing the country.

Because he had no experience in supervising the state before, Fu Su was flustered when handling state affairs at first. If it were under normal circumstances, Seeing Ying Zheng would choose to help Fu Su and rectify the situation.

But unexpectedly, Seeing Ying Zheng did not do so; he let Fu Su be flustered, as if he wanted to see how Fu Su would handle it when facing difficulties. After all, Fu Su was not young anymore.

Seeing Ying Zheng ascended the throne when he was a teenager, and at Fu Su's age, he had already begun to destroy the Six States and had destroyed several of them.

Fu Su could not become a flower grown in a greenhouse; he had to stand on his own.

Fu Su also seemed to feel his father's intentions and gritted his teeth, not going to ask his father for help.

He insisted on handling state affairs.

As time went on, he became more and more comfortable, and even summoned the courage to introduce some new policies, such as lifting certain bans.

The Qin law was strict and restricted the entertainment of the people.

Fu Su felt that doing so was wrong, so he relaxed it slightly and allowed some entertainment activities to appear among the people.

Seeing Ying Zheng saw all this in his eyes and did not stop it, letting Fu Su do as he pleased.

Privately, he did not have any anger; on the contrary, he nodded, "It was not in vain that I taught him these years. Although he is not as good as me, it is enough to be a ruler who maintains the status quo."

At first, Seeing Ying Zheng thought that the Fu Su of this world was completely ruined, but now it seems that he was not completely ruined.

As Fu Su supervised the state on behalf of the Emperor and issued many policies beneficial to the people, his prestige among the people also rose rapidly. As Fu Su is now, even if he ascended the throne as Emperor, the people among the people would only gladly accept it without any objections.

For an Emperor, the Crown Prince's prestige surpassing his own is not a good thing, but for Seeing Ying Zheng, who was about to leave, this was indeed a good thing.

The more capable Fu Su is, the more it shows that the Great Qin will be safe after he leaves.

Although this Great Qin is not his Great Qin, after all, he had stayed in this world for a few years, and they are both called Great Qin. Seeing Ying Zheng did not want to leave a mess and let the Great Qin perish in the second generation. He did not seek a thousand generations, but only hoped to surpass the Zhou Dynasty, and that would be enough.

The Zhou Dynasty lasted for eight hundred years; the Qin State, no matter what, should last for a thousand years!

This day.

Seeing Ying Zheng, who was recuperating in the palace and not handling state affairs, was so excited that he stood up after receiving a message, and then without a word, he rushed out.

He came to the palace where Su Xuan was staying, and besides Su Xuan, there was another person here.

It was Cui Wenzi.

After Seeing Ying Zheng arrived here, he immediately looked at Su Xuan with burning eyes: "National Master, is it...?"

Su Xuan nodded: "The elixir of immortality has been refined!"

Joy immediately appeared on Seeing Ying Zheng's face.

Even though Su Xuan had already explained the truth of the elixir of immortality to him earlier and told him all the ins and outs, the elixir of immortality only works in this world and the Heavenly Star must not be shattered.

But that was the elixir of immortality after all. Upon hearing that this object had been refined, Seeing Ying Zheng still inevitably felt excited.

Cui Wenzi also did not play any games and honestly took out a wooden box from his body, held it with both hands, and handed it to Seeing Ying Zheng.

"By chance, nine elixirs were refined. Cui Wenzi hereby presents them to Your Majesty!"

In the original work, because Cui Wenzi obtained too few Heavenly Star fragments, he only refined three elixirs. Finally, the three elixirs were consumed by Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan one after another. Among them, Yu Shu took the medicine for Seeing Ying Zheng. After confirming that there was no problem with the elixir, Gao Yao snatched the elixir of immortality in front of the critically ill Seeing Ying Zheng and took one.

For the last one, Gao Yao kept it for his sworn sister Xiao Yue, but he did not expect Xiao Yue to be a traitor and gave that elixir to Yi Xiaochuan.

However, that was the original work. Now, it seems that because Su Xuan gave Cui Wenzi more Heavenly Star fragments, Cui Wenzi used these Heavenly Star fragments to refine a full nine elixirs of immortality.

Seeing Ying Zheng took the box and opened it, only to see a layer of brocade inside, with nine small elixirs placed on it.

Logically speaking, as an Emperor, whether it is eating or taking medicine, someone must try it.

But Seeing Ying Zheng did not do so.

He picked up an elixir and ate it directly.

As he took an elixir, Seeing Ying Zheng immediately felt an exuberant vitality in his body.

Over the years, he had been constantly regulating his body with Su Xuan's help, but the body of the Qin Emperor had already reached the point of being at the end of its strength. Even after Su Xuan's regulation, there were still many hidden illnesses.

After taking this elixir, he suddenly felt that all the hidden illnesses in his body had disappeared. Seeing Ying Zheng felt as if he had returned to the time when he was twenty years old.

"It is indeed unusual!"

Seeing Ying Zheng's eyes flickered, and he looked at Su Xuan again: "National Master..."

Su Xuan was not polite either; he picked up an elixir of immortality and ate it directly.

As the elixir went down his throat, Su Xuan only felt an invisible force pouring into his body. This force was constantly transforming his body, letting his body develop toward the most peak and prosperous state.

"What a clever elixir."

Su Xuan thought in his heart, although he was no stranger to this energy, the energy drawn by the elixir was completely different from the energy obtained directly from the Heavenly Star; the former was much gentler and would not directly cause the body to deform.
