Da Qin: I became friends with Zhao Zheng

Chapter 202 Chapter [-], Taking Pills for the First Time
Half a month later, someone presented Zhao Zhengjin with an elixir. It was said that this elixir could strengthen people's health and prolong their lives.

Zhao Zheng ordered ten servants to test the medicine for half a month before starting to take it. However, Yao Xing had been busy building schools, hospitals, and factories and paid no attention to court affairs, and was unaware of this matter.

Zhao Zheng felt energetic and smooth after taking the elixir, so he gave it to Yao Xing as a gift. Only then did Yao Xing realize that Zhao Zheng had already started taking the elixir.

As a person from later generations, Yao Xing certainly knew that the so-called elixir of life was nonsense, and every elixir contained heavy metals. If you take too much, you will be poisoned or even die.

Even Zhao Zheng, the most famous First Emperor in history, might not have died at the age of 49 if he had not taken the elixir.

Moreover, he also had a reviled crime, which was that he ordered Xu Fu to take a thousand boys and girls out to sea to seek elixirs, but those thousand boys and girls died unknown.

"Although this elixir cannot lead to immortality, it is very beneficial to the body. If we take it together, we will be together for hundreds of years." Zhao Zheng held a pill and was about to feed it into Yao Xing's mouth.

Yao Xing frowned and reached out to take the elixir from Zhao Zheng's hand: "Your Majesty, can you order the imperial doctor to examine this medicine?"

Zhao Zheng thought Yaoxing was cautious and explained: "I have ordered the imperial doctor to check and have people take the elixir for more than half a month. It is indeed non-toxic."

"No matter how great a tonic is, it is also a medicine. It is a medicine that is three parts poison. Your Majesty, it is better to be more cautious. Nowadays, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms still exist, and I hate Your Majesty deeply. The elixirs can be used by alchemists in their journey, and the imperial doctor may not understand them."

Yao Xing did not expect the imperial doctor to be able to detect the toxic ingredients in the elixir. There was no need to embarrass the ancients when detected by modern medicine.But this elixir cannot be taken by Zhao Zheng under any circumstances. It is not too late to stop it now.

"The imperial doctor can tell whether poison or non-poison is poisonous!" Zhao Zheng felt that Yao Xing was unfounded.

Being stared at and kept talking about one thing will annoy people. Yao Xing also knew this, so he changed his tone and looked at Zhao Zheng worriedly: "Your Majesty, don't blame me for being verbose, I really can't accept it from you. Whatever is wrong with your body, once you are harmed, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive!”

"Even if you are tired of me, I will say these words. I am a wife who works hand in hand with you and is half of each other's life, not a concubine who relies on your sweet words to dote on you. You should believe my words because you are my half. Damn it, I won’t harm you!”

Yao Xing was a bit deceived, and Zhao Zheng was stunned for a while.He already likes Yao Xing, and has almost no principles when it comes to Yao Xing's sweet words. This is another affectionate confession, and he can't hold on even if he wants to.

He immediately hugged Yao Xing to his heart, lowered his head and kissed her: "Okay, okay, I promise you! I just don't trust anyone, how can I not trust you!"

Just telling Zhao Zheng not to take elixirs for the time being will not solve the fundamental problem. If Zhao Zheng is to completely eliminate the possibility of taking elixirs to pursue immortality, he can only make him realize that elixirs cannot prolong life, but are life-saving talismans.

The next day Yao Xing brought all the elixirs donated to Zhao Zheng, and there were actually hundreds of them.

However, Yao Xing was shocked and made a rough calculation. If Zhao Zheng had taken the elixir at his current age in history, he would have taken it for ten years before he died.More than 300 pills per year, more than 3000 pills in ten years.
