Zhao Jun harbored an unknown secret: she was an online friend with His Highness the First Emperor from thousands of years ago. Every time she sent him cheap items like water cups and glass, she cou...
As soon as Zhao Jun came in, he couldn't wait to ask.
She stood directly in front of Ying Zheng and stared at him with undisguised anger in her eyes.
The tone was full of questions.
Ying Zheng's good mood was wiped out.
He raised his eyes and met Zhao Jun's angry gaze.
"Are you questioning me?"
Ying Zheng put down the memorial and his face darkened.
He didn't know what Zhao Jun was crazy about, but he was dissatisfied with her obviously questioning tone.
Zhao Jun was startled by his low tone, then remembered what he had just said.
She patted her head, restrained herself, stepped back and sat aside.
She was so angry just now that she dared to question him.
It seems that she is really bold, she thought to herself with self-mockery.
"I'm sorry, my king. I was just so angry that I lost my mind."
Zhao Jun sat back in his chair and calmed down for a while.
Ying Zheng also quickly got rid of the low pressure in his body.
"Do you know Xu Fu?"
He asked.
Otherwise why was she so excited when Xu Fu was mentioned just now.
"I don't know him, but I know this man, my lord. He's a liar."
Zhao Jun put aside other emotions and quickly returned to the issue of Xu Fu.
"fraud?"
Ying Zheng was surprised.
"That's right. Didn't he tell you that he could communicate with immortals and help the king live a long life? Oh, and he wouldn't give you the elixir he refined, would he?"
Zhao Jun became anxious again when he thought about it. You know, those pills are highly poisonous.
Ying Zheng was silent for a while.
"That's what he said, and he actually provided me with elixirs, saying they could strengthen my body and prolong my life."
"My king, you must not eat it. Those pills are poisonous!"
"When they refine it, they put mercury and cinnabar and other substances in it. Long-term use will gradually corrode the body."
"My king, you are not going to eat, are you? How are you feeling now?"
She looked Ying Zheng up and down anxiously. Although taking a small amount would not be life-threatening, it would still be harmful to the body.
After hearing her words, Ying Zheng's face suddenly darkened again.
He knew mercury very well. He could imagine that putting it in pills and taking it orally would not be a good thing.
Zhao Jun felt even worse when he saw his dark face.
Ying Zheng was furious. He never expected that someone would dare to lie to him.
After getting angry, Ying Zheng came back to his senses and met Zhao Jun's worried gaze, and he immediately felt relieved.
"It's okay, I haven't taken any pills."
Ying Zheng would not easily take something like this. He would at least have to let someone experiment on it for a period of time.
Just based on the current experimental situation, if Zhao Jun hadn't reminded us.
I'm afraid that in a few months he will completely trust Xu Fu and take the poisonous pill.
"Phew, that's good."
Zhao Jun breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and sat back in his chair.
"When did he enter the palace, and how did he get close to the king?"
Reassured, Zhao Jun began to ask about the cause of the incident.
Ying Zheng thought for a moment before answering.
"Around the end of last year, before you returned, an official recommended you to me."
"He claimed to be able to communicate with immortals and demonstrated several abilities. I thought he might be quite capable, so I allowed him to stay in the palace."
At the end of last year, that time was not that long, but I still stayed in the palace for four months.
"Your Majesty, you don't believe in my ability, why did you accept Xu Fu without even telling me the news? If I hadn't happened to meet him today, wouldn't Your Majesty be waiting to be deceived by him later?"
This was actually something that Zhao Jun was a little concerned about. Even if he thought Xu Fu really had such extraordinary abilities, he should at least say hello to him.
As a result, he put the person in the palace without saying anything. He must not trust himself.
"No, I just haven't had time to tell you yet. I will inform you later even if you don't ask."
Ying Zheng felt a little guilty when he said this. He actually wanted to wait until Xu Fu had figured out something before saying anything.
But he didn't expect that Xu Fu would be a liar.
Zhao Jun's expression showed obvious disbelief. It had been so long since then, if they wanted to notify him, they would have notified him a long time ago.
She felt vaguely powerless in her heart and didn't understand why Ying Zheng did this.
"Really? I didn't eat that pill because I was planning to ask you to identify it in person later."
Ying Zheng frowned and began to argue. He couldn't possibly tell King Zhao his true thoughts.
Ying Zheng had never been clear about her origins, but he understood that Zhao Jun was indeed not from here, and she had appeared out of thin air.
Although Zhao Jun has made great contributions to the State of Qin now and he is willing to trust her, who knows if she will suddenly disappear one day.
Then when I want to find it, I won’t know where to look.
So he secretly kept Xu Fu because he wanted to use Xu Fu's abilities to study Zhao Jun's life experience in the future.
He really hated the feeling of being out of control, so he couldn't do anything without preparation.
But no one expected that Xu Fu was actually a liar!
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about Xu Fu first."
Zhao Jun accepted Ying Zheng's statement on the surface, and she didn't want to delve into the reasons behind it.
"Xu Fu, that damned liar, I order him to be torn into pieces!"
Ying Zheng was furious and his tone was cold. He was actually deceived. Xu Fu was such a bold man that he must not be allowed to stay.
Zhao Jun didn't think much of Ying Zheng's order to execute Xu Fu.
Because she would tell him everything about how Xu Fu deceived him and escaped to the sea, and then Xu Fu would have no choice but to die.
The King of Zhao was unhappy and told Ying Zheng what would happen next with an anticipatory attitude.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Ying Zheng became furious again.
In a fit of rage, he threw all the memorials on the table to the ground and punched the table hard.
"Sun Cheng, get in here and have someone tie up Xu Fu, immediately!"
He shouted angrily at the door, and Sun Cheng hurried in and took his men to do the work after receiving the order.
Zhao Jun sat nearby and watched Ying Zheng's exasperated look, laughing in his heart.
All my unhappy mood was soothed by his miserable appearance.
Ying Zheng was indeed very angry.
This reminded him of what happened between Hu Hai and Zhao Gao before, and Zhao Jun also told him about the subsequent developments.
But Hu Hai was very young at that time, and Zhao Gao had not yet shown his talent.
Although he still eliminated the two people because of his suspicion, he did not feel much fear in his heart.
But this time it's different.
This time he clearly felt that if Zhao Jun had not reminded him, he would really have gone down the path of being deceived, just as she had said.
This wasn't just a speculation about what might happen, but an example that was right before his eyes, which made him feel a little scared.
He couldn't believe that he would do a series of stupid things after being deceived.
That's not him.
