On the six-horse carriage, Ying Zheng's face was solemn, and he did not say a word.
It was not until the carriage entered the palace that Ying Zheng suddenly opened his mouth.
"Minister Meng, have you ever heard of a white mouse?”
"A young, white rat?" Meng Yi asked tentatively.”
"This should be it." Ying Zheng said thoughtfully.”
"Get someone to catch a few white mice and bring them to the palace.”
Meng Yi immediately cupped his hands.”
Two hours later, Meng Yi finally sent a few small and exquisite mice into the royal study.
"Your Majesty, this lowly subject is incompetent and has yet to find a pure white great rat.”
"These few great rats are already the whitest I can find in a short period of time.”
Glancing at the slightly gray rat, Ying Zheng took out the precious and heavy wooden box from his sleeve.
After taking out an immortal pill, Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, then took out another two immortal pills.
"Grind these three pills into powder and feed it to the rat.”
"Your Majesty, are you sure?" Meng Yi was shocked.”
This was the immortal pill that His Majesty valued the most. Now, he was actually going to feed it to a mouse?
What ability did this rat have to be able to accept an immortal encounter?
" Yes!" Ying Zheng nodded resolutely." Do it quickly!"”
"Yes, sir!" Meng Yi immediately cupped his hands.
He quickly ground the immortal pill into powder. Just as Meng Yi brought the pill powder close to the rat, the rat began to struggle in panic.
However, Meng Yi mercilessly pried open the rat's mouth and stuffed all the pill powder into it.
"Your Majesty, I've already fed them all!”
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, looking at the rat nervously.
"Squeak ~ Squeak ~"
Under Ying Zheng's gaze, the rats that had eaten the pill powder quickly became excited. They screamed and ran crazily, their eyes turning slightly red.
An hour later, the rat that was gnawing at the cage suddenly stopped and fell to the ground.
Meng Yi was shocked and hurriedly grabbed the rat.
"Your Majesty."
"This great rat, it…"
"He's dead!" Meng Yi said with an ugly expression.”
An astounding thought popped up in his mind.
Rats would steal food that humans could eat.
There were many things that humans couldn't eat, but rats would be fine even if they ate them.
Now that the rat had died from eating the immortal pill, could it be because…the immortal pill was actually poisonous?!
The same thought rose in Ying Zheng's mind.
Ying Zheng threw the wooden box in his sleeve to Meng Yi and said with a livid face.
"Go to the imperial prison and bring a prisoner sentenced to death. Feed him five immortal pills every day.”
"Send another three assistant ministers to guard this person at all times and observe his situation. Report to me at any time!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Meng Yi cupped his hands solemnly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yi strode out of the royal study with a solemn expression.
There were still people who argued that a rat died after eating an immortal pill.
However, what if people died from eating too many immortal pills?
Looking at the clear blue sky, Meng Yi seemed to see blood all over the sky!
Ten days later.
The Grand Court Meeting had just ended when Assistant Minister Yang Shuang rushed into the royal study.
"Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng picked up a memorial and unfolded it, then asked casually,""Does Minister Yang have anything important to say?"
After cupping his hands, Yang Shuang said solemnly,"We will obey His Majesty's orders and feed the prisoner five immortal pills every day.”
"For the past three days, there was nothing wrong with this person.”
"On the fourth day, this person began to become irritable, unable to sleep, and unable to eat.”
"This person died today!"
"Pa ~"
The bamboo slip in Ying Zheng's hand fell onto the table, and he looked at Yang Shuang with shock in his eyes.
"Dead?"
Ying Zheng had thought that this verification would take several years.
But now, only ten days had passed, and the prisoner on death row had actually died?
"He's dead!" Yang Shuang nodded solemnly.
"Imperial Physician Xia personally went to verify that he is completely dead!”
Ying Zheng froze on the spot.
After a few breaths, Ying Zheng finally opened his mouth.
"All of you, leave."
Yang Shuang and the other assistant ministers looked at each other and immediately cupped their hands."We will take our leave!"
After everyone left, Ying Zheng laughed at himself.
"Hehe, good, very good!”
"I treated you all as Kingdom Scholars, but you actually dared to poison me!”
"I've asked for everything from you, but you actually want my life!”
Ying Zheng pulled out the Sword of the King of Qin in anger, and suddenly hacked down with it.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the wooden table was split into two.
"Fortunately, I can hear Wang Ying's thoughts.”
"And Wang Ying is extremely familiar with this immortal pill…no, this poison pill.”
"Otherwise, I might really die in the hands of these necromancers!”
Ying Zheng suddenly had a thought.
"Since Wang Ying knows so much about this immortal pill, does he know how to remove the poison that has already entered my body?”
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng strode out of the royal study.
"Men, prepare the carriage."
"Zhen wants to go to Marquis Wucheng's residence!"
Escorted by hundreds of Imperial Army soldiers, the six-horse carriage sped toward Marquis Wucheng's residence.
But when Ying Zheng got off the car, he only saw the tightly shut gate of the mansion.
"Peace is at hand. Greetings, Your Majesty!"
When Gou Dan, the gatekeeper, saw Ying Zheng, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his nose.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and asked,"Why are all the gates of the mansion closed?"”
Goudan squeezed out a smile." Your Majesty, my Marquis is not feeling well and is currently recuperating.”
"Since ten days ago, they have already closed their doors and refused guests.”
Ying Zheng glanced at Ping An and said,"Open the door."”
Goudan's face was filled with bitterness, but under Ying Zheng's sharp gaze, he had no choice but to open the gate.
"Your Majesty, please!"
"I'll go report it now…"
Before Goudan could finish, Ying Zheng interrupted him,""There is no need to announce it. I will enter."
As they spoke, the assistant ministers stepped forward and sandwiched Goudan in the middle.
Goudan could only watch as Ying Zheng strode into the mansion.
According to his understanding of Wang Jian, Ying Zheng went straight to the backyard.
However, before Ying Zheng could push open the door of the backyard, a familiar voice rang out again.
With this item, I will be even more confident in my rebellion!
