"Didn't you say that Imperial Father would wake up early this morning? How did you take care of Ying Chu last night?”
"That's right, little prince, why did I hear that His Majesty had a fever last night?”
Looking at Huhai and Zhao Gao's gloating smiles, Ying Chu resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
He had never thought that Qin Shi Huang's acting would be so realistic.
If it wasn't for the fact that he saw that Qin Shi Huang's mental state was quite good last night, he would have thought that he was really terminally ill.
After all, the other party's dispirited appearance made people really worry that he would not be able to hold on for the next second.
Since it was just an act, Ying Chu naturally had to do the whole thing.
He quickly became flustered.
Listening to Zhao Gao and Huhai's accusations, he lowered his head and hid at the side, trembling.
This Ying Chu made Huhai raise his head.
This day had finally arrived.
Right now, Imperial Father was seriously ill. Wasn't this the best time for him to deal with Ying Chu?
"Ying Chu, the person who has stayed with Imperial Father for the longest time is you. Right now, Imperial Father is seriously ill, and you have a responsibility that you cannot shirk!”
"I…I don't know!"
Ying Chu still acted like he was panicking and at a loss when faced with his arrogant attitude.
"Hmph, if you don't know, who does? Imperial Father trusts you so much…"
"No…it has nothing to do with Chu 'er!"
Qin Shi Huang's pale and powerless voice rang out, finally shutting Huhai up.
At this moment, Zhao Gaote rushed to Emperor Shi's side.""Your Majesty, you're finally awake!"
"Everyone was extremely worried the night you were unconscious.”
" That's right, Imperial Father. Fortunately, you're awake. Hai 'er was worried about you last night…"
The two loyal guards had no idea that Qin Shi Huang's hands under the blanket were clenched tightly.
Shi Huang never thought that these two people would be so good at lying through their teeth.
If he hadn't woken up last night and found out something, he would have been touched by their enthusiasm.
"You…you guys are so…thoughtful!”This short sentence made Qin Shi Huang gasp for breath.
"It's just a pity that my illness is coming at me fiercely. I don't know when I'll be able to recover.”
" Your Majesty's words are too much for me. It is the duty of every official to care about the health of the dragon. Moreover, Your Majesty is blessed and will live as long as the heavens…"
Zhao Gao knelt in front of the First Emperor with tears in his eyes."Your Majesty, the imperial physician will be here soon. You…you will definitely be fine…"
These sincere words really made the listener sad and cry.
However, Qin Shi Huang and Ying Chu, who were hiding in a corner, didn't think so.
Especially Ying Chu. If he didn't know what Zhao Gao had done, he might really have been deceived by his superb acting skills.
To be honest, it was fortunate that Zhao Gao didn't live in the world of his previous life. Otherwise, there would be no other winner of the Oscar award except him.
"Let's put these aside for now!" Qin Shi Huang waved his hand shakily.
"I…I still have one thing to do…You…You order someone to call Meng Yi over. I'm bedridden now, so I'm bound to delay…the matter of going to the Great Dreamy Swamp to pay respects to Emperor Shun who died on Jiuyi Mountain…"
Qin Shi Huang was still panting heavily, looking like he was about to die.
" Therefore…I will send Meng Yi to Yunmeng on my behalf…and order him to…offer sacrifices to the gods of the mountains and rivers on his way back to Kuaiji Mountain to pray for blessings…"
Hearing the First Emperor's words, Zhao Gaogang's heart instantly relaxed.
He had thought that Emperor Shi was looking for Meng Yi to discuss the matter of him supervising the country while he was sick.
It seemed like he had thought too much.
However, it was normal for His Majesty to make such a decision since he was so obsessed with immortality.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao no longer had any doubts.
Instead, he hurriedly sent someone to call Meng Yi over.
To be honest, he had a grudge with the Meng family. If it wasn't for the protection of the First Emperor, he would have died at the hands of the Meng brothers.
Now that Shi Huang was willing to send away his only Great General Meng Yi, he was naturally happy.
……
After giving instructions to everything, the First Emperor lived a life of 'recuperation'.
However, his body was in good condition and bad condition at that time, so Zhao Gao could not make a decisive move.
And it was precisely because of his hesitation that Qin Shi Huang and Ying Chu found more clues.
For example, the eunuchs that the First Emperor took care of were Zhao Gao's lackeys.
Another example was Huhai, who had yet to see the First Emperor's last breath, and could not help but give him a slow-acting poison.
Of course, Qin Shi Huang had never drunk that medicine.
However, the last bit of feelings he had for Huhai disappeared completely after he found out about the slow-acting poison.
When he mentioned this matter, he really hated Zhao Gao to the core.
That guy actually dared to trick Huhai, saying that he had issued a posthumous edict, which stated that the eldest son, Fu Su, would inherit the throne.
Although that was what he thought, how could Huhai not panic?
After all, Eldest Young Master Fu Su had been chased out of the political center of Xianyang City by the First Emperor for a long time.
Huhai couldn't understand why his father chose him to inherit the throne and not him.
He should be the one who had been by his father's side and following him on his travels. Why would his father give such an order?
But…
As his master, what reason did the Prefect Ling have to lie to him?
"It won't be long before His Majesty passes away. We'll strengthen the management around His Majesty in the next few days. Once His Majesty passes away, we'll tamper with the posthumous edict…"
Thinking back to Zhao Gao's tone and gaze when he said that, Huhai finally wavered.
Qin Shi Huang, who had been pretending to be unconscious while the two of them were talking, had already clenched his teeth and fists.
It was also from that day onwards that everything that Zhao Gao and Huhai sent over was discarded by the First Emperor.
If it wasn't for the secret guards covering for him and Ying Chu sending him food mysteriously, he might really have died.
In a flash, a few months passed, but Qin Shi Huang's illness still did not improve.
At this moment, Zhao Gao and Huhai didn't have any apprehension in front of the First Emperor.
In their eyes, the First Emperor was just holding on and taking a breather. He was basically no longer a threat to them.
Therefore, they began to brazenly discuss the details of the Emperor's death in front of the " unconscious " Emperor.
This also caused Ying Chu to be unable to sit still.
"Aren't you afraid that the matter will be exposed?”
"Who is it?"
Following the direction of that childish voice, he saw Ying Chu who had been staying in the corner without any sense of presence.
The two people who were originally a little shocked were a little stunned.
After such a long time, they didn't even notice Ying Chu's existence.
"Prefect Ling, he knows too much. What should we do now?”
Huhai was like a frightened rabbit as he quickly turned to Zhao Gao.
"Ha, you call this knowing too much?”
Ying Chu said disdainfully," Then you guys really don't know anything. As for what to do, of course, it's killing one less!"”
With that, he took out a wooden stick from behind him.
