"Oh? When did this happen? It was around noon today when Eunuch Gao, the magistrate of the Imperial Carriage Office, sent someone to inform us!"
"Hehehe, it's that old fox Gao Shu. I knew he knew I wasn't dead. I fooled His Majesty, but I didn't fool him!"
"What?"
"Sigh, Han Xin, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get ready for dinner. All we can do now is wait for the right opportunity. We'll give Taishi Teng a huge surprise at the morning court the day after tomorrow!"
"good!"
Inside the imperial palace, in the First Emperor's bedroom.
The First Emperor did not look well.
Looking at the bamboo slips containing the Four Great Inventions that Li Lin had once written for him, along with some folk remedies on health preservation, a sense of sadness inexplicably appeared on his face.
"Gao Shu, do you think I'll ever meet someone as talented as Li Lin in my lifetime?"
"Your Majesty, we will meet!"
Gao Shu trembled. He was in charge of the intelligence department. How could he not know that Li Lin had been switched out with the body of a death row inmate at noon today?
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent someone to inform Han Xin that Prince Fusu was about to arrive at Dianchi Lake.
However, if he were to say that Li Lin was still alive now, given the First Emperor's sorrowful question, Li Lin would be guilty of deceiving the emperor, and if he were to be killed, it would be an awkward situation.
"Met him? What a load of rubbish! I've been the King of Qin for thirty-four years, fighting for the Qin Dynasty for thirty-four years, and no one has ever cared about my health like him. Look, look! He's even written down all the things I should pay attention to at my age. It's obvious he put a lot of effort into it. Alas, how could I be so stupid? I actually believed one side of the story and imprisoned him in the imperial jail. I never imagined he would actually..."
As the First Emperor spoke, he seemed to be on the verge of tears.
yes.
He's getting old.
As people get older, they value relationships more.
Therefore, in later generations, there were often cases where caregivers who took good care of the elderly had their properties transferred to them by the elderly.
It's not that the elderly don't like their children, but rather that people become more sentimental as they get older; it's human nature.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please accept my deepest condolences!"
At this moment, Gao Shu appeared troubled on the surface, but in reality, he was extremely jealous: Damn it, we have been working hard day and night for His Majesty, and that bastard Li Lin just pretended to be dead for a moment, yet His Majesty feels so guilty towards him.
This is outrageous!
Our family has been by Your Majesty's side for over thirty years, how come you have never treated us like this?
"Please accept my condolences, you scoundrel. What do you know? That brat's death is more painful for me than the death of my own son. By the way, I remember you had a younger brother before you entered the palace, didn't you? I'll castrate him too and let him come to the palace to keep you company, how about that?"
The First Emperor was furious upon hearing this.
Aside from saying nice things to him, Gao Shu had nothing else to say. He had told him to accept the loss and move on more than a dozen times today, and Gao Shu was tired of hearing it!
"Your Majesty, please calm down! This old servant was just talking nonsense, utter nonsense!"
"Hmph! Get down!"
"promise!"
Sweating profusely, Gao Shu fled the First Emperor's palace as if escaping; the First Emperor's words had truly startled him.
If that really happens...
The Gao family line is about to end.
"Oh, Li Lin, Li Lin, when will I ever receive such imperial favor from His Majesty? I don't want to marry any princess, I just want to live a good life! This is driving me crazy!"
He sighed, feeling an overwhelming sense of envy towards Li Lin.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he envied him, he could never be Li Lin in this lifetime. It was all because he was young and ignorant, too naughty, and his family was also struggling financially and couldn't support many people.
Then, they sent the most mischievous boy to the palace to become a eunuch.
Once it came in, a part was missing.
What makes them comparable to Li Lin?
Most importantly, even if he marries the princess, he won't be able to make her happy. Who knows, he might have to wear a hat on the Hulunbuir Grassland on their wedding day.
"Achoo~"
Li Lin was sleeping in the construction company's warehouse when, halfway through his sleep, his snoring stopped and he suddenly started sneezing a series of sneezes.
He was jolted awake by the force of the blow.
"Who's staying up all night talking behind my back? It's so annoying!"
Li Lin couldn't help but complain, then snuggled into his warm blankets and drifted off to sleep.
Dianchi Lake.
After Fusu slowly stepped into the city, he prepared to have Mengyin, who was accompanying him, send someone to Hangu Pass to report and await the First Emperor's further instructions.
As for why he stayed at Dianchi Lake instead of going directly back to Xianyang, that remains to be seen.
This all started with the edict his benevolent father, the emperor, issued to him in the beginning.
After all, the imperial edict only mentioned arriving at Dianchi Lake.
It did not say that he should go directly back to Xianyang City.
The reason for this was generally because the First Emperor had other plans.
Fusu was a loyal and filial son.
How could he possibly disobey his father, the emperor?
They are a perfect example of a loving father and a filial son!
Although he opposes his father every day and even questions his father's policies, often embarrassing his father in front of others, he is still a good son!
