Didn't Lady Zhao go to check and test Ying Song? Why did she bring Ying Song's general, Bo Cai, back?
Qin Zhuangwang thought to himself, could something have happened?
Prince Zhuang frowned and said,""First summon Madam to the main hall!"
"Yu Bocai, let him wait at the city gate.”
Prince Zhuang of Qin was prepared to meet Lady Zhao first to ask her what was going on.
After all, dozens of years had passed, and the relationship between Prince Zhuang and Zhao Ji could be said to be limited!
"Yes, sir!" Great Qin's elite soldiers nodded and held their halberds as they retreated out of the palace.
About fifteen minutes later, Zhao Ji entered the main hall with small steps.
Lady Zhao bowed slightly and greeted Prince Zhuang and Lu Buwei,""Greetings, Your Majesty! Greetings, Xiangguo Lu!”
Meanwhile, Lu Buwei stood quietly in the palace like a wooden statue, not moving at all.
"Zhao Ji, why did you bring Bo Cai back?" asked Prince Zhuang.”
Zhao Ji placed her hands on her waist and said,""Your Majesty, please allow Concubine Zhao to explain!"
"Speak!" Prince Zhuang said.
Concubine Zhao repeated the conversation she had with Ying Song when she went to Lord Gao Lingjun's residence, as well as her expressions and actions.
Of course, when Lady Zhao massaged Ying Song, Ying Song didn't even finish his last sentence.
Qin Zhuangwang's dignified face revealed a trace of surprise that disappeared in the blink of an eye. He said,""In that case, Zhao Ji, you can bring Bo Cai to meet the sect elders.”
Prince Zhuang didn't believe that Ying Song would cooperate with him so kindly.
"Yes, sir!" Mistress Zhao lowered her head and left the hall. She raised her head slightly and her gaze stopped on Lu Buwei.
Prince Zhuang asked Lu Buwei,""Buwei, do you think Ying Song is really that kind?”
"Your Majesty, from what I think, Lord Gao Ling's actions are normal.”
"Although Gao Ling-jun doesn't get along with you, Your Majesty, he's still of the same race as you, Your Majesty," Lu Buwei said.
"When I joined Lord Gao Lingjun, he was weak and sickly. He relied on the thousand-year-old ginseng that Your Majesty gave him to keep his life.”
"Besides, the eldest son, Ying Zheng, has already confirmed his bloodline and has no worries about inheriting the throne. Therefore, Lord Gao Ling must be thinking of selling it to you, Your Majesty.”
" Cough, cough, cough…" Prince Zhuang of Qin suddenly started coughing. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth and fell to the ground.
Furthermore, Qin Zhuangwang's face quickly turned pale.
" Your Majesty, your health…" Lu Buwei asked with concern.
In fact, Lu Buwei's heart was filled with anxiety. Ying Zheng had yet to inherit the throne. If Prince Zhuang of Qin were to appear now, the world below would be filled with unforeseen events.
"It's fine!" Qin Zhuangwang waved his hand.
"But Your Majesty, you've already vomited blood.”Lu Buwei continued to ask.
"Let Imperial Physician Li prescribe some medicine to suppress the hidden illness in this king's body.”
" I didn't take much today," Prince Qinzhuang said." I can't suppress it anymore."”
Qin Zhuangwang knew that the more of this medicine he consumed, the more his short lifespan would be reduced. However, even if a king died, he had to maintain the demeanor of a king.
" This…" Lu Buwei wanted to say something but was interrupted by Qin Zhuangwang.
Prince Zhuang stood up from his throne and walked to Lu Buwei's side. He recalled the past and said,""Buwei, back then, when we met in Zhao, we hit it off!”
"You gave me a plan and made Madam Yanghua take me in as her adopted son, allowing me to successfully ascend to the throne of Qin.”
"Back then, when I inherited the throne, the throne was unstable. It was you who supported me and stabilized it step by step.”
"Until today, Buwei, you are still the person I trust the most.”
"In the future, Zheng 'er will rely on you to assist him.”
Lu Buwei was moved by Prince Qinzhuang's words.
Lu Buwei held Qin Zhuangwang's hands and said,""Don't worry, Outsider. I, Lu Buwei, will do my best to assist the Eldest Young Master. Even if I have to go through a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, I will do my best.”

Hearing Lu Buwei's words, Qin Zhuangwang smiled and said,""Seven days later, Zheng 'er's succession ceremony will be held as scheduled. I'll leave it to you to take the lead.”
Whether or not their friendship was faked, it was fine as long as it looked like they were friends.
Lu Buwei quickly patted his chest and said,""Don't worry, Yiren. The Eldest Young Master's succession ceremony will be without any mishaps.”
" Cough, cough, cough…" Prince Zhuang coughed a few more times, and his face turned even paler.
Prince Zhuang of Qin understood that he had to take the medicine and said,""Buwei, you haven't had a good rest in such a long time.”
"Yes, sir!" Lu Buwei could tell that something was wrong with Prince Zhuang, so he left the hall.

Ying Song held a teacup in his hand and gently tasted it. Ziying accompanied him.
Ying Song placed the teacup on the table and asked Ziying,""What time is it now? How long had it been since Bo Cai left?”
"Young Master, it's now 11:00!"
(Shenshi, is the modern 15:00~16：59）
"Bo Cai left at the end of the day and will probably be back in a few minutes," Ziying reported.”
(Later, it was the modern 13:00~14：59）
Ying Song nodded slightly." Ziying, fill the teacup with cold water."”
"Yes, sir!"
Bo Cai came to Ying Song with a bandaged medicine packet and said,""Young Master, this subordinate took this medicine from Imperial Physician Li.”
Ying Song took the medicine from Bo Cai's hands, removed the gauze, took the teacup, and poured the rest of the medicine on the gauze.
Ying Song opened the gauze, and there was only one line of words written inside.
" Prince Zhuang of Qin is consuming all kinds of tonic medicine. Every time he takes it, his life force will be exhausted. He is estimated to last for more than a month!'
[PS: Feilu's author name is the only one left. The original pen name 'Young Master Shi Wushuang' was used earlier than me. That guy cut off three books, and I couldn't find him in a row. If he doesn't change it, I can only change my pen name myself!]
ps1: I've only written two books. This one and the Hidden Card Pavilion of the Divine College. I don't know where the third one is.
Ps2: I recommend a book by a big boss, One Piece's Strongest Virtual System. This big boss has gay friends all over the world. He even has four or five gay friends living in his house. I'm so envious.
