"Xu Fu?"
Old Zheng was slightly stunned, then raised his hand to signal Consort Li to stop.
At this moment, the words he had said at Lin Yang's stall yesterday suddenly appeared in his mind.
"That guy wrote that he could go out to sea to find immortal medicine. Why did he bring thousands of children?”
"If there really is an elixir of immortality, he can eat it himself and find a place to hide for a hundred years before coming out.”
"And even if we can't get the Ageless Medicine, if he runs away, His Majesty won't be able to do anything to him, right?”
……
"Your Majesty?" The eunuch carefully called out again.
Only then did Old Zheng come back to his senses.
"Let him come over. I want to hear what he's going to say.”
His eyes flickered slightly.
Xu Fu was a famous alchemist and also his imperial physician.
Usually, other than him passing down orders, he rarely saw them.
Would it really be like what Lin Yang said?
Old Zheng's mind was in turmoil.
Soon, the eunuch returned.
At this moment, there was a tall and thin middle-aged man with a goatee who was dressed in a doctor's attire beside him.
"I, Xu Fu, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Old Zheng nodded slightly, his face expressionless."Get up. Why did Imperial Physician Xu look for me today?”
Xu Fu stood up and said with a smile,"I came here to congratulate Your Majesty!"”
"Oh? Is there something good?"
"Your Majesty's immortal medicine has been found!”
"Oh?" Old Zheng sat up straight.
However, there was not much joy on his face.
Xu Fu was also slightly puzzled.
Immortality was His Majesty's greatest wish.
Logically speaking, he should not be so calm when he heard the news of the immortal medicine.
Although he was puzzled, he still said,"I heard that when the fisherman from my hometown was far away from the outer sea, he suddenly encountered immortal energy.”
"There are traces of the Immortal Island in the Immortal Qi.”
"Yes." Old Zheng's face became even colder.
However, Xu Fu did not notice these slight changes. He continued,
"For the sake of the Great Qin Empire, I request to go out to sea to obtain immortal medicine for Your Majesty.”
"I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish!"
"Are you planning to bring some young boys and girls?" Old Zheng snorted coldly.”
"Your Majesty, you…"
Xu Fu was dumbfounded.
I haven't even said anything yet. How did His Majesty know?
“呯!”
Old Zheng could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and slammed the table.
This sudden change also shocked Consort Li, the palace maids, and the eunuchs in the pavilion.
Xu Fu knelt down with a thud.
"Xu Fu! How dare you deceive me!”
Old Zheng did not expect this.
What Lin Yang had said yesterday about the immortal medicine and Xu Fu had actually come true today.
Instantly, the disappointment of losing the chance to live forever and the anger of being deceived mixed together.
"Men!"
Old Zheng gave the order, and a group of guards quickly stepped forward.
Seeing this situation, no matter how stupid Xu Fu was, he knew that the situation was not good.
" Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, I…"
"Shut up!"
Old Zheng was like an angry lion.
Although it hadn't happened yet, it could already imagine it.
If Lin Yang had not warned him in advance, what would have happened?
He had been fooled by his officials.
Thousands of families were torn apart because of their children.
The country was in turmoil.
The outstanding water generals were gone forever.
Of course, this was all his own imagination.
Normally, Xu Fu had gone out to sea twice.
The first time he went out to sea, he was afraid that Old Zheng would blame him, so he quietly returned to his hometown and made a living as a doctor.
Nine years later, Old Zheng sent someone to find Xu Fu again.
And because this fellow had no other choice, he casually made up a pretense that there were flood dragon fish in the sea.
In the end, he never returned.
However, Xu Fu had brought a large number of young boys and girls with him on both occasions.
That was why there was this misunderstanding.
"Imperial physician Xu Fu, you deceived me. Drag him away and cut him in half in the market tomorrow afternoon! The Three Barbarians!"
"Here!"
Old Zheng finished his sentence.
A group of guards quickly dragged Xu Fu away.
"Your Majesty, I've been wronged, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty…"
After Xu Fu's voice faded away, Old Zheng sighed deeply and sat down.
Seeing this, Consort Li also carefully began to massage Old Zheng's shoulders.
He started to flatter her.
"Your Majesty is indeed a god. You were actually able to guess Xu Fu's intentions in advance.”
Old Zheng shook his head, his eyes glowing.
"A god? I'm afraid it's not me, but someone else.”
PS: This chapter was originally planned to be published tomorrow, but because of today's data, it was published first.
Finally, I would like to kneel down and beg for the monthly votes in everyone's hands. Thank you!
