"Your son smashed this pill furnace and beat Xu Fu up because the pill furnace was not refining immortal pills, but poison!”
"If Imperial Father is ill, what will happen to the Great Qin Empire?”
"Therefore, your son smashed the furnace and destroyed the pill for the sake of the Great Qin Empire and for the sake of Father's dragon body!”
Ying Ziye cleared his throat, shook his head and cupped his hands.
"Ninth Prince, don't slander me. This immortal pill is made from immortal herbs and medicinal stones. If you take it for a long time, you can live longer and even become immortal!”
"If it was poison, how could His Majesty be standing here safe and sound after consuming it for many days?”
Hearing the word "poison", Xu Fu immediately panicked. He could no longer pretend to be wronged and quickly rebuked.
Murdering the emperor was a serious crime that could kill nine generations of his family. He could not bear it!
"That's right! If it was poison, why would I still be standing here?”
Qin Shihuang nodded.
He was not stupid enough to believe the words of a few necromancers. Therefore, before taking the immortal pill, he found someone to try it. After confirming that there was no problem, he was relieved to take it!
"Father is fine now because the ingredients in the pill are slow-acting poisons. Therefore, after eating it, people won't die immediately. Instead, they will be poisoned slowly and die slowly…!”
Ying Ziye picked up a leftover 'immortal pill' from the ground, stared at his cheapskate father and continued to ask,""May I ask father, did you have abdominal pain and diarrhea after taking this so-called immortal pill in the past?”
"This…?"
Ying Zheng, who originally thought that he was fooling around, heard his question. His heart moved, and his expression instantly became solemn.
After he had taken the immortal pill recently, he indeed had a faint stomachache, and it was accompanied by diarrhea.
He had always thought that it was caused by other reasons.
It had never been associated with immortal pills!
After hearing what his son said today, he recalled that these symptoms seemed to have appeared after eating the immortal pill.
For a moment, he was suspicious.
There was a hint of coldness in his gaze as he looked at Xu Fu.
"Your Majesty, don't believe the Ninth Prince's nonsense. This immortal pill was refined from a rare immortal herb. This humble subject is willing to guarantee with my head that there is no poison in it!”
Xu Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly made a promise!
He saw a hint of doubt and coldness in the First Emperor's eyes.
In other words, Ying Zheng was suspicious of him!
He didn't understand why he, who had victory in his hands just now, had fallen into a crisis in the blink of an eye.
"Imperial Father, it's actually very simple to verify if this pill has any toxic components…!”
Ying Ziye looked at the pile of materials for refining pills on the medicine rack and continued,""We just need to find someone and order him to swallow those medicinal pills. If he's safe and sound, Xu Fu's innocence can be cleared.”
"On the other hand, if he dies suddenly, it means that this so-called immortal pill is actually a poison to harm father!”
Ying Ziye waved the pill in his hand and calmly gave Ying Zheng an idea.
"Men, take the herbs on the shelves and make these necromancers swallow them all!”
Ying Zheng placed his hands behind his back and gave the order with a murderous expression.
"Here!"
The guards did not dare to be negligent. They quickly surrounded the group of alchemists and prepared to feed them the medicinal herbs.
"I'll do the feeding test myself!”
However, before they could do anything, Ying Ziye walked over.
That sloppy and playful appearance seemed out of place in this somber court.
"This…?"
Seeing him act without asking for an edict, the guards looked troubled.
However, when they saw that Ying Zheng had no intention of opposing, they were relieved.
Actually, Ying Zheng also wanted to see how his good-for-nothing son would be dealt with in front of everyone.
"Hiss…!"
To his surprise, his son was not in a hurry to find someone to feed him the medicine. Instead, he first sniffed the pile of medicinal pills.
In the end, he pulled for a moment.
Only the herbs were untouched!
"This is poison!"
"Find someone to try it!"
Soon, Ying Ziye found a material that contained sulfur and mercury in a pile of medicinal stones.
In fact, some of them had even been refined, as if they were prepared for the next pill refinement!
"You! Come here…!"
The guards randomly grabbed an alchemist and pushed him to the medicine rack.
"Let's feed him the ingredients to concoct the immortal pills first…!”
Ying Ziye pointed at the purified sulfur and mercury and ordered the guards.
"Here!"
The leading guard cupped his hands and accepted the order. Then, he grabbed the purified powder and poured it into the alchemist's mouth without any explanation.
"Wu, wu…!"
The necromancer tried his best to resist, but his arms were twisted and his head was pressed down. It was useless.
In the end, under the astonished gazes of the alchemists, the two portions of medicinal powder were fed clean.
Xu Fu, who was kneeling on the ground, gripped his robe tightly with both hands as he drew the line nervously!
Actually, he wasn't sure if he would get into trouble if he took too many of these medicinal pills!
"Cough, cough…"
The necromancer who was fed two portions of powder started coughing violently.
However, other than coughing, there were no signs of poisoning.
This made Xu Fu, who was originally uneasy, secretly heave a sigh of relief.
"Aiya!"
"Putong!"
However, not long after he relaxed, an accident happened.
The necromancer suddenly clutched his stomach and fell to the ground.
"Aiya, it hurts!"
He curled up and rolled around on the ground.
Not long after, he started to foam at the mouth. Finally, he kicked his legs and died on the spot!
"Ah…?"
When the civil and military officials saw this scene, they were stunned.
Many people even exclaimed!
They had never expected that these so-called immortal pills were actually poisons.
"Protector beast!"
Seeing the necromancer fall to the ground and die, Zhang Han quickly gave the order.
At the same time, Ge Nia, who had been protecting Ying Zheng, also placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword!
