He shamelessly compared himself to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, claiming great merit and hard work.
But in the end, unexpectedly, even a great talent like Li Lin could not save his life.
That was absolutely wrong!
"Your Majesty, why are you suddenly so sad? Prime Minister Li is so talented, assisting you. Aren't you happy?"
"Alas, Chen Xiao, you do not understand, I..."
"Your Majesty, you wouldn't kill him in a fit of anger because he spoke frankly and offered his advice, would you?"
At this moment, Chen Xiao's expression was rather strange.
This made the First Emperor blush, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the air became extremely awkward.
"Your Majesty, could it be that my prediction has unfortunately come true?"
"Alas, I did not kill him. I was merely deceived and imprisoned in the imperial prison. But yesterday... yesterday morning, he was poisoned by villains and died in the imperial prison!"
"What? Your Majesty! Alas! You are confused! Your Majesty, how could you treat such a talented man like this? If this boy hadn't died, the Great Qin would have flourished!"
Chen Xiao felt a sense of mutual respect between heroes.
I couldn't help but let out a series of exclamations.
It would have been better if he hadn't been surprised.
Upon being astonished, the First Emperor felt ashamed.
He wished there was a crack in the ground right now so he could just crawl into it.
I'm so ashamed I can't face anyone.
If this incident were recorded in history, wouldn't he be condemned by future generations?
"Chen Xiao, the boxing style I just practiced is called Tai Chi, which was created by Li Lin; and my current daily routine was also designed by Li Lin for me. I invited you here today simply to show you how much progress I've made in these past few days. But now, I feel that I have really let that rascal Li Lin down. If that kid Li Lin could come back to life, I would marry all the princesses of the six kingdoms to him to make up for my guilt!"
"Alas, Your Majesty, please accept my condolences! I never imagined that Prime Minister Li's medical skills were so superb. Even I could not have helped Your Majesty recover so quickly. I never thought there were people more skilled than you, and that there are always higher levels of expertise!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but sigh. "This time, I will probably stay in Xianyang for about a year. Your Majesty, please follow Prime Minister Li's method and persevere for another year. Before I leave, I will check to see if the toxins in your body have been completely eradicated!"
"Chen Xiao, do you think the toxins in my body can be completely eliminated?"
The First Emperor was puzzled. Could heavy metal toxins really be eliminated from the body?
That's unlikely, isn't it?
"Yes, Your Majesty, the human body is different from that of ordinary animals. The human body has Yin and Yang energies. Although the golden pills Your Majesty has taken contain metallic toxins that the human body cannot excrete, it does not mean that these metallic toxins can stay in the body. As long as Your Majesty persists in this method and accelerates blood circulation, with Yin and Yang energies surrounding the kidney water, there is a 70-80% chance that the toxins will be excreted through feces and ordinary sweat."
Chen Xiao was not certain that it could be completely eradicated.
However, most of the metal deposits in the First Emperor's body had been reduced. Perhaps the blood vessels and veins blocked by the metal substances had been diluted as the meridians were opened.
But since it can be diluted by this method, there is a chance that it will be completely eliminated.
Furthermore, the First Emperor's main problem was never the elixir of immortality, but rather his long-term unhealthy lifestyle.
You could say that.
His death was only partly due to the issue of the Golden Elixir.
Most of them are due to overwork.
I only sleep for one or two hours each day, which is two to four hours.
The intense mental work from day to night, coupled with a lack of exercise, inevitably leads to poor physical condition.
Now that I'm sleeping normally, my body's detoxification function will recover, and with metabolism, it's only a matter of time before toxins are diluted.
The First Emperor nodded.
The eunuchs escorted Chen Xiao out of the palace.
Then he turned around, strode towards the Imperial Study, and began to review the memorials.
"Gao Shu, I feel that the imperial edict bestowed upon Li Lin is still insufficient. How about this, I will bestow upon him the title of King? What do you think?"
"Ah? Your Majesty, you want to bestow a title upon a prince of a different surname? Then Lord Li... I'm afraid he's not qualified!"
Gao Shu's expression changed drastically, and he felt extremely bitter. He almost blurted out that Li Lin was still alive, but fortunately he stopped at the crucial moment, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable.
"What do you mean he's not qualified? In the past month or so that Li Lin has served me, how much has he done for me? Now that my health has improved so quickly, it's all thanks to his methods. If I don't bestow upon him the title of king, wouldn't I be letting down all the hard work he did in his lifetime?"
"Your Majesty, you mustn't! Since the time of Duke Xiao, our Great Qin has never had a precedent of bestowing a title upon someone of a different surname. Even the great General Wang Jian, whose merits are earth-shattering, you haven't made him a king!"
"That's true!"
The First Emperor nodded, then came up with a good idea. "By the way, I heard that the princesses of the six kingdoms have all been placed in my harem, is that right?"
"Your Majesty, they have all been placed in your harem, but you have never touched them all these years. The oldest of them seems to be an old maid in her thirties!"
"Bury them all alive for me, to be buried with that bastard Li Lin. He was a lecher in life, I don't want him to suffer in the afterlife, do I? Send six young ladies to serve him!"
"What? Your Majesty, this is too outrageous!"
