Chapter 458 What will be the future of my Great Qin?

Noticing the smile on Chu Qinghe's face, Shuimu Yinji and Qu Feiyan exchanged glances, their hearts immediately set on something.

Then, their eyes all fell on the Imperial Seal of the State in Chu Qinghe's hand, and a glint of light flashed in their eyes.

It is said that the Imperial Seal of the Qin Dynasty was carved by skilled craftsmen under the orders of Li Si, a subordinate of Ying Zheng, who found a piece of jade with a similar color to the He Shi Bi and then carved it in imitation of the He Shi Bi.

But who could have imagined that this piece of material found to imitate the He Shi Bi jade actually originated from the same source as the He Shi Bi jade, both being dragon vein companion stones.

Here, after confirming with the "Celestial Aura Observation Technique" that the Imperial Seal in his hand was indeed a stone associated with the dragon vein, Chu Qinghe lightly shifted his gaze to Ying Zheng.

Feeling Chu Qinghe's gaze, Ying Zheng met it head-on.

Chu Qinghe chuckled inwardly as he observed Ying Zheng's reaction.

He then said, "This Imperial Seal is useful to me. I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to part with it?"

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed.

After a moment's hesitation, Ying Zheng spoke up: "Since Prince Chu knows that this is the Imperial Seal of our Great Qin Kingdom, and still asks such a question, how do you think I should answer it?"

If Dongfang is willing to accept defeat, he can find a way to rebuild a new Sun Moon Cult.

"I have eight questions, but I wonder if you, sir, would be willing to answer them for me?"

Ten breaths ago, a mouthful of jet-white blood spurted from Ying Zheng's mouth.

Meeting Chu Gongzi's gaze, Ying Zheng spoke: "If your Qin Kingdom signs a decree of submission, what will become of your Qin Kingdom's future?"

Of course, as far as Ying Zheng was concerned, he was still worthy of being lied to by the Prince of Chu.

As he spat out that mouthful of blood, Ying Zheng felt as if his body had been ripped apart, and he felt an inexplicable tension all over his body.

The weak will always be weak; the heart is precious.

Upon hearing the voice, it was clear that Young Master Chu was only vaguely aware of the underlying meaning behind Ying Zheng's question.

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe nodded in acknowledgment before speaking again.

Therefore, what was so extraordinary about Chu Qinghe's strange dream about Qi Ying that it could attract someone like Young Master Chu's interest?

In response, Ying Zheng nodded to the Prince of Chu and said, "I thank you, Your Highness."

"Furthermore, the remnants of the eight kingdoms within the Qin state have not yet been eliminated, so one can imagine the amount of mental and physical labor required every day."

As the water flowing from that clear spring circulated through his body, it slowly soothed the areas within Ying Zheng's body that were originally in a comfortable state.

Chu Qinghe, who was standing to the side, also turned his gaze towards the question Ying Zheng had asked.

Perhaps it was a matter of mood, but Young Master Chu nodded and said, "Tell me about it."

Similarly, for Ying Zheng, Li Chunfeng was merely an object and a symbol in his hands.

At that time, the court of the Qin state was thrown into turmoil.

When the illness recedes like a flood, the contrast between before and after is all too obvious in the body.

Although Ying Zheng, as the ruler of the Qin state, had not yet unified the eight kingdoms, some past events were still unresolved.

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, the young master of Chu raised his eyebrows again.

In addition, the accumulated poisons from pills and lead and mercury in Ying Zheng's body further depleted his vital essence, reaching an extremely detrimental state.

During the time he spent with Young Master Chu, Chu Qinghe could sense that Young Master Chu was not the type of person who would go to extremes for a reason.

He immediately said, "What if I offer to cure His Majesty the Qin Emperor's health as a condition?"

It is said that illness comes like a landslide, but recovery is like pulling silk from a cocoon.

Even before consuming the pills refined by these alchemists, she had reached this state.

Even a martial artist at the Celestial Realm like Gongzi Yu would find it difficult to cope with something like exhaustion, let alone Ying Zheng.

"Um?"

In Chu Gongzi's perception, Ying Zheng's cultivation level was merely at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm.

Before leaving the small hall, Young Master Chu did not use his advanced movement technique to lead the group back to the inn. Instead, he used the power of heaven and earth to shield himself and Shui Mu Yin Ji and the others, and walked towards the palace gate while strolling through the palace grounds.

The chest, which had felt heavy and stuffy as if blocked by a stone, now felt much better.

After a few breaths, Ying Zheng spoke up: "I know the meaning of the Imperial Seal's words."

Speaking of that, Young Master Chu paused for a moment and stepped forward to continue: "Originally, mental and physical exhaustion could be relieved with proper rest and recuperation, but unfortunately, His Majesty the Qin Emperor took many pills made by alchemists over the years, which contained a lot of lead and mercury poison as well as Seven Stone Powder. Although it could make people excited, it overdraws the body's own energy."

During the conversation, recalling the conversation between Young Master Chu and Ying Zheng, Lianxing explained, "Since we don't have Xiaoming yet, and Xiaosong and Xiaotang are already eight kingdoms, why did my brother-in-law take the opportunity to bring Xiaoqin and Xiaoyuan under his control as well?"

Aside from the exquisite craftsmanship of the carving, there are other wondrous aspects to it.

Ying Zheng frowned deeply and muttered, "A dragon vein companion stone? That should be the He Shi Bi jade from the Little Tang Kingdom, right?"

Seeing this, Chu Qinghe said, "Given the status and power of the Imperial Seal, is it really necessary for His Majesty to lie for such a small thing? Your Majesty is worried."

"How boring. Even the dragon vein's companion stone is appealing. Chu Qinghe certainly knows what he's talking about with Ying Zheng!"

Seeing that Ying Zheng was pretending to be sober, the Chu prince was also concerned and said in a wonderful tone: "Since ancient times, when a country is weak, the ruler is burdened. The time and energy required to govern a country every day is beyond our imagination. Now that the country is unified, although the Qin Kingdom is still weak in number and strong in number, it is in need of reconstruction."
