These few days, Fu Su had been recuperating at home. From time to time, the First Emperor would send people to deliver some ginseng and other tonics. To this, Fu Su naturally accepted them with a smile.
The smithy was still forging the Hundred Refined Steel in an orderly manner. Fu Su had already handed all the blueprints and other things to an older craftsman. He did not need to worry about the smithy.
Ever since the assassination at the blacksmith shop, the First Emperor had ordered Wang Ben to send over a hundred men to serve as Fu Su's personal guards. Now, no matter where Fu Su went, these Black Armor Guards would not leave a five-meter distance from him. Even when Fu Su was sleeping, the Black Armor Guards would take turns to change shifts.
On this day, Fu Su, whose wounds were almost healed, took another big gulp of beer.
The reason why his injuries could heal so quickly was because he had been continuously concocting some medicine to heal his wounds. Only a few days had passed, and Fu Su was already full of vigor.
"Young Master, your wound has just healed, so don't drink anymore.”Qiu Yu walked into Fu Su's bedroom with a bowl of ginseng chicken soup.
Fu Su turned his head and grinned.”
After Qiu Yu placed the chicken soup in front of Fu Su, he gave Fu Su a few more instructions before leaving.
Fu Su looked at the chicken soup in front of him in a daze. He had thought that things would develop according to the history books.
However, Fu Su did not expect Zhao Gao to send someone to assassinate him.
"Is this the butterfly effect?" Fu Su muttered.
Zhao Gao had never had the intention to kill Fu Su in history. It was only after the death of the First Emperor that he forged a decree to kill Fu Su.
This was also because the original Fu Su had always been harmless. Not only was he famous for his benevolence, but he was also not liked by the First Emperor.
These reasons made it unnecessary for Zhao Gao to make a move on Fu Su. But now, things were different. Not only did he manage the plague, but he also issued a Grace Decree. Moreover, he was about to make a move on the Xiongnu.
Once the Xiongnu were settled, he would have a 99% chance of becoming the Crown Prince.
That was why Zhao Gao attacked him. He wanted Huhai to take the throne because Huhai was not only his student, but also a person without a mind of his own.
It turned out that Zhao Gao, who had been accused of being a deer and massacred in the royal court, had been so powerful because Huhai had trusted him too much.
Thinking of this, Fu Su clenched his fists and hammered the table. He secretly swore that he would not let Zhao Gao off.
As for Li Si, it was better to put it aside for now. In history, Li Si was bewitched by Zhao Gao to do something disobedient. In the end, he was even cut into three tribes by Zhao Gao. In that case, Li Si was actually a victim.
However, even though he was a victim, as long as he continued to persist in his wrongdoings, he would still be killed.
Fu Su wasn't a saint. He wouldn't do anything that would make people want to curse.
There was also Fu Su's 18th brother, Huhai. Once Fu Su became the Crown Prince, he would definitely be the first to deal with him!
Thinking of this, the corners of Fu Su's mouth curled up.
He touched the chicken soup in front of him, which was already a little cold. He remembered that his father had told Fu Su to look for him as soon as he recovered from his injuries. Fu Su did not delay any longer. After drinking the chicken soup, he led the group of black armored guards out.
After a while, Fu Su arrived at the First Emperor's bedroom. A group of Black Armor Guards waited for him outside the palace.
The First Emperor was reading a scroll of bamboo slips. He seemed to be very worried.
Fu Su took a few steps forward and cupped his hands.”
When the First Emperor saw that it was Fu Su, he quickly put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said with concern,""Are your injuries better?"
"Father, I'm fine now," Fu Su replied respectfully.”
The First Emperor nodded and walked to Fu Su. He patted Fu Su's shoulder and said,""Alright, then follow Imperial Father to a place.”
The two of them walked out of the palace. Two carriages had been waiting for a long time. The First Emperor sat in his own six-foal chariot, while Fusu sat in a carriage drawn by four horses.
The carriage slowly moved toward the imperial prison.
......
In Hu Hai's mansion.
Li Si sighed. He and Huhai already knew that Zhao Gao was locked up in the imperial prison.
Once Zhao Gao revealed the conspiracy of the three of them, Li Si would not be able to escape death.
As for Huhai, he was a prince, and the First Emperor's favorite prince. Although he couldn't die, he couldn't avoid punishment.
"Young Master Huhai, what should we do now?"
Huhai held his forehead with his palm, and beads of sweat kept flowing down his forehead.
How would he know what to do? He wanted to ask you.
"Left Minister Li, I don't know either. If Teacher is captured, you and I will be in danger.”
Li Si downed the wine in front of him and shook his head like a rattle-drum.""You are the son of the First Emperor, and I am only the Left Prime Minister of Great Qin. I will be executed for assassinating the eldest son!”
Huhai stood up and looked in the direction of the imperial prison. After a long while, he asked,""Left Minister Li, why don't we kill Teacher?”
Li Si shook his head again." It's too late. The First Emperor and Fusu have already gone to the imperial prison."”
Then, Li Si seemed to have thought of something and quickly stood up.""There's only one way now.”
"What is it?" Huhai asked hurriedly.”
"You won't admit it."
At the same time.
In the dark Imperial Prison of Great Qin.
The smell was damp and slightly smelly. The cell was cramped and there were countless mosquitoes, rats, and ants.
Zhao Gao was wearing a prisoner's uniform, and his eyes were lifeless as he sat there. His expression was dull, and his face looked much older.
The handcuffs and cuffs were made of pure pig iron, and his wrists and ankles were already covered in blood.
All along, Zhao Gao had been very skilled in the scheming and scheming of the imperial court.
He had also planned for his and Huhai's future, but he had never expected that Fu Su's martial arts would be so superb.
"Fusu!"
Zhao Gao's eyes were red, and he said these words almost word by word. Because he hadn't spoken much in the past few days, his voice was already extremely hoarse.
By right, assassinating the Eldest Young Master was a capital offense. However, he had already been in the imperial prison for several days, and there was no order to execute him.
He couldn't help but think that this was because he had a high status in the First Emperor's heart.
Or perhaps, his student Huhai had pleaded for him and saved his life.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao even felt a little proud. He had sent someone to assassinate the Eldest Young Master, but he had not been executed by the First Emperor.
Once he was released, how would the ministers and the people see him?
They all believed that Zhao Gao's status in the First Emperor's eyes was even higher than Fu Su's. This way, he could slowly make Great Qin his Great Qin!
Thinking of how he could trample all the officials under his feet in the future, and then thinking of Fu Su's hypocritical face, Zhao Gao subconsciously clenched his fists.
"Fu Su, when I get out of here, I definitely won't let you off!”
