I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 78: Prime Minister of Great Qin
"Why come at this time, not earlier or later?"

The moment of falling from the horse.

Jin Chan knew what had happened, but he didn't expect it to be so coincidental.

The moment the eyelids close completely.

Jin Chan vaguely saw that the dozen or so Tang soldiers were approaching him.

Li Yingtai, who was in the carriage, heard the sound of the carriage falling to the ground.

He rushed down at the first moment. Although his face was pale and uneasy, he still drew out the Zhuyun Tang Sword without hesitation and protected Jin Chan.

at this time.

The Qin State is thousands of miles away.

Xianyang City.

Afang Palace.

There were people inside and outside Yinglou's bedroom.

The eunuchs all had frowned brows and their facial muscles were tense, like a ball of crumpled rice paper.

And beside the black dragon's bed.

Doctor Hua held twelve silver needles and stabbed them into the still sleeping Ying Lou.

While rolling the brown powder in brown paper, he blew it forcefully into the other person's nasal cavity.

"."

Ying Lou's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

After rubbing his itchy nose, he sat up straight from the bed.

"Your Majesty is awake, Your Majesty is awake!"

Doctor Hua was so excited that tears streamed down his face, and the eunuchs around him and the civil and military officials outside the room all showed expressions of relief after hearing this.

He glanced at the silver needle inserted into his body and the powder flowing out of his nasal cavity.

Ying Lou glanced around and asked calmly, "Is he back?"

"Yes, my king, Prime Minister Lu is back!"

Huayang, wearing a black and red dragon queen robe, walked towards Yinglou with the support of five palace maids.

Although the pace was a bit slow, each step seemed exceptionally steady.

Different from previous night raids on Ying Tower, Huayang's face at this time was dignified and majestic, with an indescribable nobility revealed between his brows.

"An hour ago, Prime Minister Lu, who had been ill for a year, suddenly appeared outside the city and wanted to see you, Your Majesty!"

Huayang bowed gently and knelt down to salute.

"Hey, why did you come back at this time?"

Ying Lou sighed and supported his swollen forehead with his hand.

In order to deal with Master Pudu a few days ago, Jin Chan was in seclusion day and night in the Southern Wilderness, resulting in Ying Lou being able to move for less than half an hour a day.

The long sleep made the body become a little rusty, and the muscles, which were already weak, were now sore and weak.

"You all go out first. I need to take a short nap for an hour. Call me back in half an hour!"

Ying Lou held his forehead with one hand and waved the other hand helplessly towards everyone.

Although he had personally given an order a year ago that as long as the sick Prime Minister Lu appeared in Xianyang City again, he must be woken up by any means.

But I just didn't expect that everything happened so coincidentally!
"Your Majesty, you may not be able to sleep anytime soon!"

Doctor Hua fell to his knees with a thud, knocked his head against the ground and spoke tremblingly.

"Can't sleep? What does that mean?"

Ying Lou frowned, and a bad premonition arose.

"Your Majesty, I just used the twelve needles passed down from my family, and combined them with Baishisan, which contains exotic fruit powder. After taking it, ordinary people will not feel sleepy for three days and three nights. Your Majesty..."

Doctor Hua's voice became smaller and smaller. Even though he was kneeling on the ground, his legs were still shaking and sweat was dripping from his wrinkled forehead.

"This"

A hint of anger appeared on Ying Lou's face.

But then he thought again and realized that he had indeed given Doctor Hua the death order at that time.

Otherwise, as a mere imperial physician, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing even if he had the courage of a bear or a leopard.

"Hey, get up."

Ying Lou sighed slightly. Although his body was weak and powerless, his mind was clear and he was not sleepy at all.

Even if I take the tranquilizing soup, it probably won't work for a while. But since things have come to this, I can only consider the present and not dwell on things that cannot be changed.

As for Jin Chan, he can only place his hopes on Li Yingtai for the time being.

"promise!"

Doctor Hua heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the king did not blame him.

"Pass on the king's order, open the five gates of Nanshan, and all officials follow me to Qilin Hall to welcome the prime minister!"

Done.

As Ying Lou stood up from the black dragon bed, a dozen eunuchs nearby hurried forward and gently lifted the curtain beside the dragon bed.

then.

A eunuch was seen holding a jade mouthwash bowl and carefully passing it to Ying Lou's mouth.

Another eunuch picked up a soft towel soaked in water and gently wiped Ying Lou's face and body.

After washing away all the fatigue.

The three eunuchs then worked together and slowly unbuttoned Ying Lou's pajamas.

Then the other five people changed Ying Lou into the black dragon robe that symbolized the Qin Dynasty and put the crown of supreme royal power on his head.

The black dragon pattern appears even deeper and more solemn in the sunlight, highlighting the majesty and dignity of the King of Qin.

"Your Majesty, I will accompany you to welcome the Prime Minister!"

After Huayang bowed and saluted, he took the initiative to stand beside Ying Lou and went to the Qilin Hall with him.

The King of Qin's carriage soon arrived at the Qilin Palace.

Most of the officials had already arrived.

However, no one knew where Lu Xiang's retainers had gone, and no one came.

"Your Majesty, these people will probably enter the palace with the Prime Minister!"

At the entrance of the palace.

Huayang narrowed his eyes and looked at the Nanshan Gate in the distance.

As the eldest daughter of a noble family in Longguan, her keen sense of state affairs is no less than that of Ying Lou.

"Then let them enter the city together!"

The prime minister, who had disappeared for a year due to illness, suddenly appeared outside the city of Xianyang, and he led such a large-scale army.

Ying Lou wanted to see what the Prime Minister of Qin, whom the whole world feared, was trying to do!
The farewell song of bells and drums suddenly started playing.

The music from the chime bells, Qin drums, gongs, cymbals and oboe continued endlessly in the Afang Palace.

In front of the Nanshan Gate of Wuque.

A long team was walking towards the Qilin Hall.

Looking around, there were no less than five thousand people.

At least 30% of the important officials in the Qin court were in the team.

After the long line entered halfway.

A gorgeous carriage pulled by ten horses suddenly drove into the South Mountain Gate.

The carriage was beautifully decorated, and there were countless gold, silver and jewels inlaid on the body of the carriage.

Presumably, the person in this car is Lu Xiang, who is second only to the most powerful person in Qin State.

Behind the carriage was a long caravan. The vehicles had different styles and did not seem to be from the Qin State or even the Central Plains.

At the end of the team were eight rare beasts with long noses and big ears, more than ten meters tall.

"What is this?"

Even Huayang, who was usually calm, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement after seeing this thing.

And the Prime Minister's team continued to move forward.

It didn't stop until it reached the steps below the Qilin Hall.

"Welcome the Prime Minister back to Qin!"

Hundreds of officials shouted in unison.

　Thanks to: Suez, the big guy for giving four monthly tickets.

　　Thanks to: Sabeaute, the big guy for giving three monthly tickets.

　　Thanks to: Bingyangling, the big guy gave three monthly tickets.
