6. Ying Zheng's Experiment, Anxious Wang Ben, Begging Flower
"I hope that the experiment my son mentioned before can give me a satisfactory answer.”
he muttered.
He turned around and stretched out his hand. Naturally, he did not swallow the pill.
Instead, he directly crushed it.
He sent it to the cage where the canary was kept next to the dragon bed.
The unique fragrance of this medicinal pill clearly had an inexplicable attraction to birds and beasts.
Canary, who was originally quiet, suddenly became excited as she sniffed the strange fragrance.
He took the initiative to approach the food box and began to eat it bit by bit.
During the process of eating, Canary was exceptionally excited.
It kept flapping in the birdcage.
However, after he finished all the pills in the food box.
Canary, who was originally fluttering in the birdcage, suddenly stiffened as if she had been immobilized.
Immediately after, his head tilted and he died on the spot!
Not even a hundred breaths had passed
Qin Shihuang had been silently watching the entire process.
At the end of the video, Canary fell to the ground, dead.
Although Ying Zheng's face was expressionless, he had clenched his fists tightly, making cracking sounds.
After a long time, he spoke again. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and it carried a bone-chilling coldness.
"So I…have really been consuming poison these days?”
"Necromancer…"
"They should all be killed!"
Ying Zheng's face was dark.
He turned to look at the dojo that he had spent a huge sum of money to build in order to seek immortality. Suddenly, a sense of disgust arose in his heart.
Just as he stood up and was thinking about how to get rid of the necromancers…
In Xianyang City, in Marquis Che Wang Jian's mansion.
Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, had heard the latest news about Ying Zheng.
He jumped up from his seat.
"What did you say? His Majesty went to the Taoist temple again?”
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with worry.
In fact, Wang Ben wasn't the only one who was depressed.
In the hall, Wang Ben's son, Wang Li, and daughter, Wang Shu, stood up as well when they heard the words.
His son, Wang Li, frowned and said worriedly.
"Recently, the frequency of His Majesty going to the Taoist temple has increased. Father, His Majesty is so superstitious about magic and pursuing immortality. In the long run, it will be a disaster for the future of Great Qin.”
The Wang Clan was the same as the Meng Clan. They had contributed for generations, and they didn't really believe in immortality.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he was against the First Emperor's request to find immortals and ask for medicine.
Especially in the past few years, as Qin Shihuang took immortal pills, his health condition worsened.
The voices of opposition grew louder and louder within the Wang family.
This attitude naturally affected the children in the family.
Therefore, Wang Ben wasn't surprised by Wang Li's attitude.
However, Wang Ben, who was usually hot-tempered, didn't say anything after hearing what he said.
After a moment of silence, he turned around and walked out.
As he walked, he held his sword and armor and gave out orders.
"Butler, prepare the horses."
Seeing him like this, Wang Li and Wang Shu's expressions changed.
Among them, Wang Shu reacted the fastest.
At the same time, his expression changed, and he quickly asked again.
"Father, what are you doing?"
"Father wouldn't be going to that Taoist temple too, right?”
" No, Father," Wang Li quickly said," Grandpa and Li Si have been trying to persuade His Majesty not to believe in magic. They even tried to kill Xu Fu and the other sorcerers, which infuriated the emperor. "If Father goes today, His Majesty will definitely punish you. It's even possible that he will vent his anger on my Wang family.”
However, Wang Ben had already made up his mind.
How could he change his mind just because of a few words from his children?
Seeing the two of them like this, he directly waved his hand and said.
"Let him vent his anger."
"My Wang Clan is a high-ranking official. The reason why we can have our current status is all because of Your Majesty's benevolence. Now that he knew that His Majesty's life was in danger, how could he ignore it?”
" Then, Grandpa…"
"When I return, I will naturally explain to your grandfather. You two juniors don't have to worry about this.”
"Giddyup!"
After saying that.
Wang Ben urged his horse and galloped out of Xianyang City.
He watched Wang Ben leave.
Wang Li frowned, still feeling uneasy. He couldn't help but turn to his sister, Wang Shu, and ask.
"Sister, what should we do now?”
Wang Shu might be his younger sister.
However, he was smart and quick-witted. He still had some authority in this family.
Even Wang Li, this big brother, had to admit defeat.
Wang Shu looked at her father's back and frowned.
After hesitating for a moment, he said," Go back immediately and tell Grandpa this news."”
"Then father…"
Wang Li wanted to say something but stopped.
"Don't worry. Although His Majesty has become more and more arrogant in recent years, the Wang Clan still has His Majesty's favor. Thus, the possibility of him venting his anger on the Wang Clan was still very small.”
"It's our father. At that time, I'm afraid he won't be able to avoid the pain of flesh and blood…"
Wang Shu sighed. His eyes were filled with helplessness.
