Chapter 513: Aggressive!
Zhangtai Palace
Unburned orchid paste floated in the bronze mirror, and the faint blue light of the fire made the cloud-patterned murals on the walls flicker.
The people in Zhangtai Palace originally thought that the emperor would go to Ganquan Palace or Jiaofang Palace first. The moment they saw Ying Zheng appear, they almost held their breath. Even before Ying Zheng stepped into the palace, they knelt down in a crowd.
It's very quiet, almost too quiet.
The copper clock in the corner of the hall ticked, and every sound sounded like hitting the cold stone bricks.
Following closely behind the emperor were Li Si and Wang Ben, both of whom looked more solemn than ever before.
When everything was in complete silence, a message came from outside the palace, "Doctor Feng Quji wants to see His Majesty the Emperor."
The sound lingered for a long time before returning to the empty hall.
Ying Zheng held a bamboo scroll between his fingers. The ink had become dizzy from his fingertips, but he didn't turn the page for a long time. He suddenly clenched the bamboo scroll tightly, and his knuckles rolled over the edges of the bamboo, making a slight "click" sound.
When the news came that Zhao Ji had died of illness in the Yongcheng Palace, he was looking at the map in the carriage. His red pen suddenly pierced through the bamboo slips, and the ink splashed on the word "Handan", making it a dark brown.
In an instant, the deep place in his heart that had been abandoned for thirty years was instantly filled with an unnecessary pain.
He quickly got off the carriage and, to the surprise of Li Si and Wang Ben, rode away on his horse.
Handan, Lu Buwei, Changping, Lao Ai, Cheng Jiao, these people and things were mixed together and passed by quickly.
The poplar trees beside the official road had long lost their leaves, and their bare branches pierced the gray sky like dead bones. Every time the wind blew, they made a mournful "woohoo" sound, as if souls were shuttling between the branches.
He was heading towards Ganquan Palace.
But Ganquan Palace was a detached palace, separated by Shanglin Garden and the Wei River.
It seemed as if Shanglinyuan was destined to bring him no peace, and it seemed as if God had chosen this day to let him know the cruelty of fate.
The second secret order appeared.
Li Si, who was accompanying him, felt his heart sink. He did not dare to say a word and just knelt down.
"Old injury relapses, seriously ill and unable to recover?" Ying Zheng paused, and a second later, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his temple, his vision suddenly went black, and he was about to fall off his horse.
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
Across mountains and seas, the emperor's power is as fragile as a glass cup before birth, old age, sickness and death.
Without his mother and wife, he would not have been able to escape from Handan from the siege of Zhao State.
Mother’s love? When the two children in Yongcheng shouted that they wanted to kill him and become the King of Qin, everything had already collapsed in his heart.
What can he believe?
His wife, whose memory he had regained, the beauty he had worked so hard to obtain, was now on the verge of death. He was the emperor, the first person to create the world, but he could do nothing. He could only listen to Xia Wuqie's trembling voice, "I will die before you find Bian Que's medicine."
Since he ascended the throne at the age of twelve, he has been telling others over and over again that destiny can conquer nature.
He claims to be a man who absolutely believes in reality.
But just when he had just begun to realize his ambitions, in the second year after his Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, he had to realize that there must be something that is true - destiny is more important than human affairs.
He felt the winter cold, as sharp as a knife, cutting his body and face inch by inch, one cut after another.
God does not allow him to retain anything by his own will.
At this time, a man who claimed to be an immortal master asked Xu Fu to cross the sea to the east to teach him how to become an immortal. Xu Fu claimed that he could find a way to bring the dead back to life and achieve immortality.
What can he believe in? What can he keep? What will God give him?
Just now Li Si stretched out his hand to help the emperor, but how could Li Si compare with Zhao Gao, who was so skilled in martial arts.
Zhao Gao supported him in time, and then cleverly avoided Li Si, and immediately stepped forward to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Bian Que's medicine is in the palace. At the beginning, the Prime Minister's son presented this item to complete Han Fei's situation, and handed over two breath-holding items to Your Majesty."
Just a few words, killing without shedding blood.
Li Si's expression was visibly frozen. When Han Fei was imprisoned and he wanted to commit suicide, Li Xian had not yet been crowned. Could it be that at that time, his son had already worked for Ying Zheng? Li Si felt a chill on his back.
Ying Zheng proposed to hand over the item to Xia Wuqi immediately.
Zhao Gao lowered his eyes, bowed his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the pill has been kept in the Shaofu. But Supervisor Li took it away the day before yesterday."
"I will send someone to get it right away."
Lead-gray frozen clouds hung low over the city of Xianyang, crushing the last ray of sunlight into powder.
Xu Zhi was not taken back to Zhilan Palace in a carriage as Meng Yi had expected.
Zhao Gao smiled and repeated what he had said to Ying Zheng.
"Your Highness, please do not blame me for not reminding you. As the saying goes, the dead cannot be resurrected. The Empress Dowager passed away, and His Majesty the Emperor never came to Ganquan Palace. You must not disappoint Lord Meng who violated the law and let you go from the palace."
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Gao chose to stay in this alley just to let her see the scene of Zhang Han being escorted.
"Mr. Zhang is in charge of the palace supplies, royal expenses and many other matters. He actually lost the treasure at such a critical moment. Your Majesty has transferred him to guard the border."
"Why, the matter of the Shaofu was also the work of the prefectural commander?"
Zhao Gao heard her tone was quite calm, so he opened the corner curtain and saw that she was wearing a plain Qin robe, so she must have been to Ganquan Palace.
However, she was able to keep her composure, and her expression was even calmer than Li Si's.
He was quite appreciative.
Then, Zhao Gao smiled and said, "Your Highness has been favored by His Majesty since she was young, and she has always been eloquent. I have always hoped that the princess can be a good princess... I think that Your Highness should take care of the living first."
Xu Zhi frowned. "What did you do to my mother?"
"How dare you? Xia Wuqie said that the Queen's illness is the same as Master Zhang's back then, so how could it not be the method used by the Yan people? Princess, you should not argue with me now, you should go and find the things that Master Fu lost."
Only then did Xu Zhi gradually discover the truth of fate.
She took the ending and went back to the beginning. The vegetation on this road was different, but the mountains were still there. She followed the order of the answers from last time and finally passed Paper A of the War of Annihilation of Nations, but Paper B became exponentially more difficult.
"I think Lord Li is a skilled doctor, and he might want to learn from Bian Que's medicine method to treat eye injuries."
Zhao Gao was indeed a hidden danger to the Qin Dynasty, but he was not the only one who set the problem.
By saying this, he was either trying to drive a wedge between her and Li Xian, or he was hypocritically reminding her that Li Xian could not be trusted.
Xu Zhi was still laughing. No wonder Li Xian didn't want her to touch Zhao Gao, the one who caused chaos in the world. His determination and determination were evident from this.
Li Xian was never a good person. He could endure for several years in Shu in order to return to Xianyang, and he could abandon her halfway in order to destroy Han State, not to mention scheming against Zhang Liang and using Wang Wan.
He even thought about rebellion. In Xu Zhi's opinion, he seemed to have no bottom line, so she seemed to be able to handle any outrageous things.
She glanced at Zhao Gao, whose face was as calm as water, without any resentment on its face.
Faced with the cold winter wind, she actually developed some fortitude to fight against the wind and frost.
"Haha, thank you for the reminder."
Zhao Gao was obviously puzzled by her smile.
The next second, the curve of her mouth was still there, but her eyes were cold and silent, "I will ask Li Xian myself. However, not long ago, I accidentally heard a lot about your crimes. Please take care of yourself."
After she said this, she walked towards Zhangtai Palace alone.
She pushed open the palace door and looked towards the throne, shattering the majestic and deep darkness.
-
Perhaps Li Xian only remembered some moral bottom lines when he realized that he was a doctor and could still save lives.
Liu Bang was surprised. Li Xian was not an ordinary person. He was a high-ranking official of the Qin State, and he was the kind of person who was not approachable. He had a narrow escape in Kuaiji, and the two of them supported each other until Fusu's army came to help, but it did not make Li Xian give up the charge of pursuing the crime of the sudden death of the Korean noble on the way.
Fortunately, because of Ying Hehua, the so-called Chu bandits were charged with many crimes.
However, at this moment, Li Xian actually came to the door in person.
He knelt at the door. Liu Bang was not a person who would never take advantage of others, even though he heard his son crying.
He still planned to find out why Lord Li was so kind before Li Xian used the unique medical skills that Lu Ze mentioned.
When Liu Ying saw the "miracle doctor" his uncle had mentioned, he cried even louder and wanted to wave his arms and legs, but his body could not move.
The boy groaned in pain.
At this moment, a little girl grabbed his sleeve.
"Achun, please save my brother. I beg you, save him."
Save him.
Save her...
Once he decided to become a doctor and save lives, he would do his best and never deviate.
After Liu Ying swallowed the pill, it could only barely save his life.
Although sweat was pouring down his face, Li Xian didn't stop at all.
He never married, and had no offspring.
He couldn't feel what his father realized before his death.
In his rotten soul, he actually felt a little bit of the bitterness that he had once longed for.
"Since you are someone the princess values, why would it be difficult for me to help your son?"
Liu Bang didn't understand the cause and effect at first. But when he saw his son's face turn ruddy, he was greatly relieved. He thought about it again and heard that sentence. He completely agreed with what Lu Ze said that having some connection with Ying Hehua could save his life.
The blood stains and the smell of medicine in the house were mixed together.
