Da Qin: Mythology and Immortal Cultivation, Starting with the Lu Sisters

Chapter 41 If you want to live forever, then I will send you to live forever!
Ying Zheng has been careful enough, and the people around him have been trustworthy for many years.

Whether it was before or after he unified the world, he faced various assassination methods extremely frequently.

Among them, the ones that remain fresh in my memory are the assassination of Jing Ke and the attack on Bolangsha.

He really didn't expect that he could be poisoned and assassinated now.

If he hadn't been discovered earlier, it would have been difficult to save his life even with the high medical skills of the many medical officers and the large amounts of medicine they used!
Zhao Chen understood Ying Zheng's mood, and anyone who could stay by his side was undoubtedly a trustworthy person.

The fact that he was poisoned and assassinated by the betrayer was enough to make Ying Zheng panic and uneasy.

No one knows that if he escaped poisoning and assassination this time, will he be able to do it next time?

"Your Majesty, calm down for a moment."

Zhao Chen knew very well that the top priority now was to find out the poisoner.

Otherwise, who knows whether Ying Zheng will be poisoned again.

Even with Zhao Chen's cultivation level, it was difficult to tell that Ying Zheng had been poisoned.

Without the other party actively reporting it, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.

After all, Zhao Chen never thought about how he could be poisoned again after he had just detoxified the other party and did not take the poison pill actively.

"Sorry, sir, I lost my temper."

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and struggled to calm down, his face looking very ugly.

Anyone who knows that he has been poisoned or someone around him has been poisoned will be very angry.

"Ding! Trigger a new sign-in task: catch the poisoner and get a chance to sign in!"

When Zhao Chen heard this, he also thought about it and asked:
"Your Majesty, did you eat anything special yesterday and today?"

Generally, there will be no problems with the food in the imperial dining room.

What is more special is what Ying Zheng has eaten recently.

Ying Zheng frowned when he heard this.

What he was sure of was that he no longer took the poison pills refined by the alchemists.

As for normal meals, there are extremely strict procedures.

In this regard, he is still extremely relieved.

If there was a problem, he wouldn't be alive now.

So……

"A few days ago, someone discovered a peach tree on a small island near the East China Sea."

Ying Zheng's expression became much colder, and he recounted:
"There were huge flat peaches on that peach tree. When the local county magistrate heard about it, he thought it was the legendary flat peach fairy tree. After picking it off, he quickly sent someone to secretly send it to Xianyang."

"And just yesterday morning, this so-called flat peach was delivered to me."

When he said this, he trembled.

You know, there are many processes involved in sending Pantao to him.

The most important part is the drug test.

The last step in the drug test was the eunuch in charge beside him.

He ate the flat peach only after the other party's poison test was completed.

As for the taste, it's definitely good.

As for whether it can live forever, it is an unanswerable question.

"Peach?"

Zhao Chen looked a little weird. The spiritual energy from the Qin Empire era was already so thin.

Unexpectedly, on the small island near the East China Sea, a flat peach tree with some spiritual power could grow, and it even bore fruit.

When he forced the toxin out of Ying Zheng just now, there was a gap in his body, and there was residual spiritual power.

Even though it is very thin.

This is indeed a very interesting thing.

Is it true that there are three fairy islands in the sea?
Where are the pre-Qin Qi practitioners gone now?

"Besides flat peaches, is there anything else?"

It seems that this flat peach is suspicious.

There may be so many toxins, which means that Ying Zheng took a lot of Du Dan without his knowledge.

Flat peach, that’s not it.

"There is nothing else, it should be flat peach."

Ying Zheng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The flat peach was crushed into juice, maybe the poison pill was crushed into powder."

He felt that this should be the truth behind the poison pill he took.Zhao Chen nodded slightly and agreed: "That should be the case. Your Majesty, do you have a poisoning target?"

From the eating process of the First Emperor Ying Zheng, this should be at the end.

And if it is locked within the scope of the bedroom, then it can have a target.

"Sir, I probably know."

Ying Zheng's eyes were cold. Within a small range, and he knew who gave him the peach juice, he naturally locked onto the poisoner.

He took a deep breath and continued: "Now, I will have him arrested and interrogated severely!"

Damn it for wasting so much of his trust, you dared to poison him!

Zhao Chen's heart moved slightly and he said: "Your Majesty, I will come with you."

He wanted to see who this person dared to poison.

And what is the other party's purpose?

You know, anyone who can stay by the side of the First Emperor Ying Zheng is trustworthy no matter what.

With such a relationship, one can prosper in the palace.

All I can say is that the other party is somewhat self-destructive.

"That's okay, sir."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he calmed down a lot.

With Zhao Chen by his side, he would be much safer.

The person who poisoned him can definitely be found out.

When Ying Zheng and Zhao Chen arrived near the palace, they saw a fat eunuch running directly over.

"Slave to meet your majesty!"

Looking at the eunuch's dress, he looked like the eunuch in charge.

He is by Ying Zheng's side, and he is in control of the final steps such as food and drink.

"Your Majesty!"

When Ying Zheng saw the eunuch in charge, he also shouted coldly.

He was about to find the other party, but now he approached him directly.

"Your Majesty, I don't know where this servant offended you?"

The chief eunuch was a little hesitant, and quickly knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and tried to defend himself.

He didn't seem to know what was happening, and his face was full of panic.

"Where are the elixirs refined by the alchemists placed now?"

Ying Zheng didn't take the poison pill in the past two days, and he didn't destroy it, but put it in the box.

Now he only needs to look at the number of poison pills to know the truth about the poisoning.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that you don't plan to take those pills anymore?"

The chief eunuch was shocked, seemed to realize something, and explained with a forced smile:

"So, I took it upon myself to destroy the pills."

Such an answer made Ying Zheng's suppressed anger suddenly rise.

He directly kicked the head eunuch in the face, kicked him to the ground, and cursed fiercely:

"It's in vain that I trust you so much. I dare to deceive you and hide it from you. I'm looking for death!"

Immediately, he ordered: "Someone, tie him up!"

Two figures in black clothes had already come out of the darkness.

With a speed that the chief eunuch could not react at all, he pressed him to the ground and fastened the shackles on his hands and feet.

"Your Majesty, I did not deceive you. Please be more careful!"

The other party still wanted to quibble, but he didn't know that his behavior had already been exposed.

Ying Zheng stared at this person and asked: "I think highly of you, why do you want to poison me!?"

For him, this is absolutely unacceptable.

When the eunuch in charge heard this, his face turned pale.

It was obvious that he knew he had been exposed.

"Your Majesty, who told you to give up taking the elixir? That is the elixir that can make you live forever!"

The chief eunuch immediately sneered, with a cruel look on his face, and shouted:
"Slave, I want your majesty to live forever!"
