Xu Fu returned to the Imperial Palace nervously and waited outside the side hall.
After a period of adjustment, he had already calmed down.
He also found a countermeasure to regain the emperor's trust.
After hearing the summons, he tidied his clothes and calmly followed the chamberlain.
Zhao Gaohou, who was standing at the side, gave Xu Fu a look when he saw him.
Xu Fu bowed." I, Xu Fu, pay my respects to Your Majesty."”
After a long time, Xu Fu didn't get a reply. Although he was a little anxious, he still waited patiently.
Although His Majesty was the Son of Heaven, he had always been polite and gentle to him.
This time, he clearly felt that His Majesty's gaze was as realistic as reality as he swept his gaze over him.
After a long while, Ying Zheng said faintly,""No need for formalities."
Xu Fu stood still, his expression normal. He just lowered his head and listened.
Recalling the scene on the street not long ago, Xu Fu felt that he was getting more and more dangerous.
Even if he could win back the First Emperor's trust now.
If he continued to search for immortals without success, would the First Emperor also punish him?
Thinking of the island he saw when he went out to sea, he secretly made a decision in his heart.
No matter what, if he went out to sea again, he would never come back!
Otherwise, he would lose his life one day!
Ying Zheng looked at the sage-like immortal elder in front of him, but did not mention what had happened on the street.
"Immortal Master Xu, did you gain anything from this trip?" he asked lightly.”
"Your Majesty, not yet," Xu Fu replied hurriedly.”
"However, when I was summoned back, I was preparing to go to East County. I heard that there were immortals there.”
"I was summoned by His Majesty halfway, so I returned to Xianyang first.”
"I wonder if the Immortal has already left by then.”
Although Zhao Yan had told him before that searching for immortals and asking for medicine was a trick to deceive children.
Moreover, the pills had indeed been proven to be poisons.
However, seeing Xu Fu's passionate expression, the First Emperor was still a little uncertain.
"Oh? Another Immortal?"
"But Immortal Xu has been searching for immortals for decades, but he has found nothing.”
Xu Fu saw that the First Emperor had been doubting the authenticity of the immortal, so he tried his best to persuade him,""Maybe he's not sincere enough?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was so angry that he laughed.
Not sincere enough?
I am a great emperor who created history. I used all the manpower and resources of the country and even personally went to search for immortals.
Not sincere enough?
What else could he do to be sincere?
Ying Zheng sneered. Xu Fu, who had his head lowered, did not see it, but Zhao Gao, who was standing at the side, saw it clearly.
He was so shocked that he did not dare to breathe loudly.
Ying Zheng did not mention what happened on the street, and Xu Fu began to feel a little uneasy.
If His Majesty didn't mention it, it wouldn't be good for him to say it directly.
At this moment, a guard suddenly appeared outside.
"Your Majesty, all the alchemists in the alchemy room have been arrested," he said after bowing.”
"The pills in the pill furnace and the pills that have already been refined have all been tested with chickens and ducks.”
"They all have different levels of poison."
Xu Fu broke out in cold sweat when he heard that.
What was going on?
The necromancer was arrested?
Pills are all poisons?
Ying Zheng gave a faint " hmm ".
"Xu Fu, do you have anything else to say?”
Xu Fu did not dare to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He thought about it for a while before saying,"Your Majesty, I really don't know that the pill is poisonous.”
" Hmph!" Ying Zheng snorted coldly." If you don't know that the elixir is poisonous, then you have been searching for immortals for so many years.”
"You've used up so much of Great Qin's manpower and resources, but where's the thing you're looking for?”
"You said that you were once taught by an immortal and knew immortal techniques.”
"The result is just a little trick?”
"You lied to me! He deceived the entire Great Qin!"
"Do you know your sins?"
By the time Ying Zheng finished speaking, Xu Fu's legs were already trembling, and he could barely stand.
He knelt down with a bang and said with tears in his eyes,"Your Majesty, what I have said all these years is indeed true!”
"I've been doing my best to search for immortals and ask for medicine for Your Majesty. I definitely wouldn't dare to lie to Your Majesty!”
"Furthermore, this subject has indeed received the teachings of an Immortal before.”
"It's just that immortals are elusive, and this subordinate really has no choice.”
Ying Zheng sneered." This is your excuse?”
"Men! Drag Xu Fu away!"
"Together with those necromancers who tried to poison me, we will be cut in half in the downtown area tomorrow afternoon!”
Waist cut?
He was really going to lose his life this time!
The soldiers on standby outside the door quickly walked in and wanted to take Xu Fu away.
Xu Fu cried and cried, his survival instinct calming him down.
He suddenly raised his head and said,"Your Majesty, I still have something to say."”
"This matter concerns the fate of our Great Qin."
Ying Zheng looked at him and waved his hand.
The guards stopped and stood at the side obediently.
"Although I failed to find the immortal, I was lucky enough to have the immortal enter my dream a few days ago.”
"He said that Qin Shi Huang's achievements were above the Three Yellow Emperors, and his virtue surpassed the Five Emperors.”
"But there are too many killings."
"This Ten Stars Alignment is the resentment of the people who died in the six countries towards Great Qin.”
"This fiendish demon wants to steal Great Qin's Fate! Harming His Majesty!"
"That's why the immortal specially came to me in a dream, hoping to help Great Qin!”
Xu Fu finished his sentence in one breath and immediately felt his mouth go dry.
He knelt on the ground as if he was treading on thin ice.
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed as he recalled that Zhao Yan had once said that the Ten Stars Alignment was only a natural phenomenon.
However, Xu Fu's words were logical.
"Xu Fu, since that's the case, I'll give you another chance.”
Xu Fu was overjoyed when he heard that.
He was saved!
This time, not only did he have to save himself, but he also had to win back the First Emperor's trust!
When the time came, he would bring his family out to sea and never come back!
