Da Qin: I became friends with Zhao Zheng

Chapter 203 Chapter [-], Testing the Poison
Yao Xing went to the alchemist who offered medicine to Zhao Zheng again, saying that he would live as long as his majesty, and asked the alchemist to refine a batch of elixirs for himself as soon as possible.

The alchemist knew that the opportunity to rise to prominence had arrived, so he quickly agreed. After returning, he used various rare things to send various pills to Yao Xing.

It has all the functions of prolonging life, strengthening the body, beautifying the skin, warming the palace and replenishing the heirs.If he really ate the amount he said, Yao Xing felt that he would die before Zhao Zheng.

This time it was hundreds of pills again. Yao Xing did not let the alchemist leave, but directly ordered Zhao Zheng to come over and notified all the imperial doctors.

Zhao Zheng happened to be not busy, so he put down what he was doing and came to Yao Xing.Seeing the elixir in front of Yao Xing and the alchemist kneeling on the ground, Zhao Zheng knew why Yao Xing was looking for him.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Zheng was not angry. He sat next to Yao Xing and held Yao Xing's hand.

Yao Xing's face turned dark, but he did not take out his hand. He only said: "If the elixir your majesty took before really has the effect of prolonging life, I will eat it with your majesty, okay?"

Zhao Zhengcai didn't believe that this was Yao Xing's sincere words. If he really believed in the efficacy of the elixir, he would have gone to the study room to admit his mistake with a guilty look on his face. How could he be so shameless and ask someone to invite him over?

"But that alchemist annoyed you?" As he spoke, Zhao Zheng looked at the alchemist with murderous intent.

The alchemist was already kneeling on the ground, but now he didn't even dare to defend himself, and lowered his head tremblingly.

Yao Xing played with an elixir: "Your Majesty said that this elixir is not poisonous and has been inspected by the imperial physician. Is it possible that the toxin is too trace for the imperial physician to detect, and so it is taken after taking it?" If too much, will it harm the body?"

Zhao Zheng was slightly stunned: "Why do you doubt this?"

Yao Xing looked at Zhao Zheng with a look of affection and distress: "It's not that I have this suspicion, but I have thought of all the doubts and verified them. Now this statement is the one I believe the most and the best to verify!"

"How to verify?" Zhao Zheng respects every idea of ​​Yao Xing, even if it is absurd, even if it is unreasonable.

Yao Xing stared at the alchemist kneeling on the ground and said: "Let the imperial doctor check each of these pills. If they are all non-toxic, we will find a death row prisoner and let him take a large amount. Let's see if the death row prisoner will feel any discomfort. I wonder if there is anything in this elixir that is bad for people’s health.”

But it's not that the alchemist intended to harm Zhao Zheng, it was just out of caution.Others don't know the dangers of elixirs, but the alchemists may not know it, and later they even brag about the existence of the elixir of life. If they really believe that there is such a miracle elixir in the world, why don't they take it?

Yao Xing didn't see anything. It was the alchemist who lowered his head, making his expression unclear.

Zhao Zheng never lacks anything he wants, even this elixir.Even if nearly a thousand pills were given to a condemned prisoner, he wouldn't feel bad at all. As long as he could verify the effect of the pills or make Yao Xing let go of his suspicions, it would be worth it.

Yao Xing ordered people to select death row prisoners in the prison, and directly promised that if he lived after taking the pill, he would be pardoned, and if he died after taking the pill, his family would be rewarded.

Soon, a prisoner on death row in the court volunteered to test the medicine and was brought into the palace.

The imperial doctors were all in place to check whether the pills were poisonous one by one.The pills that were confirmed to be non-toxic were directly given to the condemned prisoner by the palace maid. After all the pills were tested to be non-toxic, the condemned prisoner had already eaten half of the pills.
