"Nonsense!"
"Clang…"
Ying Zheng, who had just calmed down a little, went berserk again after hearing Zhao Tuo's words.
He directly kicked the overturned table into pieces.
Meng Yi, Wang Ben, and Feng Quji were also sweating profusely.
Although Zhao Tuo had already ascended the throne and held power.
However, the First Emperor was still the First Emperor who could swallow mountains and rivers. His prestige was still there.
It was easy to figure it out.
It would be strange if this did not anger Ying Zheng.
However, Zhao Tuo, who was the instigator, still sat calmly at the side.
"Father, why are you so angry? What Zhen said is only the truth."
“……”
Everyone rolled their eyes.
Good heavens, did His Majesty want to anger the Retired Emperor to death on the day of his ascension?
Ying Zheng was panting heavily.
"What truth? It's all nonsense!”
"I take pills all year round, so my body is strong. It's not a problem for me to live another hundred years! How could he die on the way out?”
While speaking, Ying Zheng reached into his bosom and took out a jade box containing five pellets.
With a "Pa" sound, it landed in front of Zhao Tuo.
"You may not know, but the reason why I said this is because of the pills in this jade box.”
"Hmm? Do you think that this pill is poisonous? Humph…"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and explained," This elixir is made by the most famous alchemist of Great Qin. It is made from cinnabar. It has the effect of prolonging one's life.”
"I have already taken this pill for some time, but I haven't seen any reaction. How can it be poisonous?”
"Ha…"
Zhao Tuo couldn't help but laugh.
"Made from cinnabar pills…tsk tsk, Imperial Father might not believe it even if I told him more.”
"I just want to ask Father, have you been feeling dizzy, sleepless, and have many dreams recently?”
Ying Zheng thought for a moment, then nodded and said,""That's right, but what does that mean?”
"It's just because I'm worried about national affairs.”
"Stubborn…Other than that, does Imperial Father often feel agitated, depressed, anxious, or even…timid?”
"This…"
Ying Zheng's entire body trembled.
If it was just a coincidence earlier, then this time, Zhao Tuo could be said to have hit the nail on the head!
As the First Emperor of Great Qin, he had swept through the six countries and unified them.
Ying Zheng believed that he was fearless all his life.
Even if they were immortals and gods, they could only make him bless them with a trace of respect at most.
However, in the recent years, the emotions that Zhao Tuo spoke of surged like a tidal wave.
Shock, fear, anxiety…
This was also the main reason why he had been so restless in recent years.
Seeing Ying Zheng remain silent, Zhao Tuo continued,""Other than that, I believe that Father will also sweat a lot. There will be inexplicable scratches on his skin, and his fingers and eyelids will occasionally tremble.”
"His lips and tongue are often corroded, his gums are inexplicably swollen, and even his teeth are loose.”
Ying Zheng remained silent, but at this moment, cold sweat had already started to drip down his forehead.
There was no other reason.
It was because every word that Zhao Tuo said just now hit the nail on the head.
He had all of these problems now!
Looking at Ying Zheng's expression, Meng Yi and the others had obviously guessed something.
Wang Ben couldn't help but ask,"Your Majesty, could it be that you previously asked the Imperial Physician about the High Emperor's physical condition?”
Before Zhao Tuo could say anything, Ying Zheng shook his head.
"Impossible!"
"Because of these problems, Zhen only spoke to Wu Qi.”
Ying Zheng took a deep breath. The anger on his face had completely disappeared.
What replaced it was a deep worry.
"Tuo 'er, what's wrong with Imperial Father?”
"What can it be…it's just poison."
Zhao Tuo slowly opened the jade box and took out a pellet.
"Cinnabar, also known as cinnabar, will be converted into mercury during the refining process.”
"Mercury poison!"
"And Father has been taking this kind of pill that contains mercury for a long time. It's not strange for this situation to occur.”
"This…this…how could I be poisoned? I clearly felt that after taking the pill, my entire body was full of energy!”
Obviously, Ying Zheng still had doubts about this statement.
Zhao Tuo sighed helplessly.
Now, he finally knew how stubborn Ying Zheng was in his pursuit of immortality...
"Imperial Father, this is just a symptom of mercury poisoning. However, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me…Fengxian!”
"My lord!" Lu Bu strode forward.
"Go and order someone to bring a rabbit over.”
"Understood!"
Lu Bu was ordered to leave, but a moment later, he returned with a rabbit.
Zhao Tuo did not act pretentious. He personally picked up the rabbit, picked up a few medicinal pills, and crushed them into pieces before stuffing them into the rabbit's mouth.
At first, the rabbit did not have much of a reaction.
But as the pill was digested, the rabbit suddenly became lively.
They were scurrying around the entire bedroom at a speed that was even faster than before.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng was overjoyed.
"Who said this pill is poisonous? Look at this rabbit. I feel that this pill is not only not poisonous, but also has a miraculous effect!”
" Hahahaha!"
However, just as Ying Zheng was laughing out loud, the rabbit, which was running wildly, suddenly fell down without any warning.
Immediately after, its entire body trembled violently, and blood continuously seeped out of its anus and mouth.
After a few breaths, the rabbit kicked its leg and stopped moving.
He was dead!
