52. The emperor is sick
The death of the Fish King seemed to have made the emperor temporarily forget all unhappy things, and the Eastern Tour team also embarked on the westward journey again.
"Your Majesty wants to go to Handan." This is what Xiang Yu said to Dong Yi.
Dong Yi nodded and said, "Your Majesty actually likes to go to Handan very much."
The emperor did not like the city of Handan because this emperor of the ages was born in Handan.
When the emperor was born, Zhao had just experienced an unprecedented defeat in the Battle of Changping, and 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed by Bai Qi.
Under such circumstances, the emperor, as the grandson of the Qin king, was imaginable.
Subsequently, the emperor, who was still in his infancy, encountered another siege by the Qin army on Handan City.
If the Qin army captured Handan City, the emperor at that time would naturally be brought back to Xianyang by the Qin army.
But there was a man named Xinling Jun Wei Wuji. This man created an allusion called "Stealing Talismans to Save Zhao". He led the Wei army and the Chu army led by Chunshen Jun Huang Xie to support Handan and defeat the Qin army's siege of Handan.
There are many narratives in the subsequent stories. Some say that when the emperor was three years old, he fled back to Xianyang with his father, King Qin Zhuangxiang, Ying Zichu and Lü Buwei. Some say that the emperor has been growing up in Handan and then returned to Xianyang.
No one knows the secrets of the war, but everyone knows that the emperor passed by Handan a few years ago during an Eastern Tour, and then many people died in Handan.
Dong Yi said: "Brother Yu, do you think many people will die in Handan this time?"
Xiang Yu thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be."
Xiang Yu knew very well that the emperor could never enter Handan City again.
The expression on Dong Yi's face clearly revealed disbelief, but he just smiled honestly: "I hope so."
Hu Hai's face was completely disbelief: "What did you say? My father is sick?"
Zhao Gao, who was sitting in front of Hu Hai, nodded calmly and said, "Your Majesty is very ill."
Hu Hai took a deep breath: "Why are you sick? Could it be that the damn servants didn't serve you well?"
Zhao Gao was silent for a few seconds and said, "With Your Majesty's body, it's hard to run around and work so hard, it's hard not to get sick."
Hu Hai stood up and said, "I'll go and pay my respects to my father."
There was a cold and silent state in the palace, only the emperor's cough was echoing.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Hu Hai is waiting to see you outside the hall."
"Let him go back."
"Here."
...
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Hu Hai said, as a son, I know that my father is in ill health but cannot see him. Is it a way for the Son of Man? Your Highness begs to summon him."
“…let him in.”
After a while, Hu Hai walked into the hall and saluted the emperor respectfully.
"I have seen my father and heard that my father is in bad health. I am really anxious and wish I could replace him. I wonder how my father is in good health?"
The emperor said lightly: "Nothing is wrong. What are your experiences in practicing the law these days?"
Since that Yu Family Village incident, Hu Hai has become much more peaceful.
Hu Hai hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my father, I have been practicing law and orders diligently for a while. Master Zhao Gao said that my son has made great progress."
The emperor nodded, a smile appeared on his pale face, and said, "That's good. You must know that the Lu Ling is the pillar of the founding of the Qin Dynasty. You must... cough cough, cough cough cough cough!"
A sudden and intense cough interrupted the emperor's words. Unlike the coughs that were usually sick, the emperor's cough lasted for a long time and even made Hu Hai feel a little scared.
After hesitating for a while, Hu Hai walked towards the emperor tentatively.
However, the emperor, who was obviously still coughing violently, waved his hand immediately.
Hu Hai stopped awkwardly and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Finally, the long cough ended.
The emperor raised his head and said lightly: "Okay, you go back first. I will wait until the next day to take the exam for your homework."
Hu Hai responded carefully and said, "Your father must take care of your health."
The emperor did not speak, but waved his hand faster.
Hu Hai is gone.
After Hu Hai left, Meng Yi appeared.
Meng Yi asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to summon the imperial physician?"
The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Call Lu Sheng."
A hint of hesitation flashed across Meng Yi's face, but he still responded to the promise.
A moment later, a sorcerer in his sixties came to the emperor, and this was Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng had white eyebrows and white beards, and at first glance he was a figure with the Taoist bone fairy style, but there were a few scars on his face that had not yet healed, which weakened his aura a lot.
As soon as he saw the emperor, Lu Sheng bowed happily and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."
The emperor was slightly stunned and said, "Where does the joy come from?"
Lu Sheng took out a small box that looked quite exquisite from his arms and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the old ministers and all the alchemists have finally refined such a newest pill after seven days and seven nights of refining. Although this pill cannot make Your Majesty immortal like the East China Sea Immortal Pill, it is enough to extend Your Majesty's life for ten years."
The emperor's face suddenly showed a surprise expression and said, "Give it!"
The small box was opened, and a crystal clear pill was lying quietly in it, looking very adorable.
Lu Sheng said: "This pill is made up of the essence of condensing the world. Please take it with confidence!"
The emperor nodded and said to Meng Yi beside him: "Get the water."
Meng Yi hesitated slightly and said, "Your Majesty is still ill now. The imperial physician Xu Shi said that it is better to not take other medicines easily..."
Before Meng Yi finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Lu Sheng: "Xu Shi is just a quack doctor in the mortal world. Our immortal elixirs are inherited from the ancient immortal arts. How can Xu Shi and others understand? This is wrong with the words of the doctor!"
Meng Yi's cheeks were flushed by Lu Sheng's words.
If it were a few days ago, the sorcerers such as Lu Sheng were just lambs to be slaughtered in Meng Yi's prison. Unexpectedly, because of the so-called death of the Fish King, these sorcerers were favored in front of His Majesty, so that officials like Meng Yi could only be robbed in public and could not retaliate.
The emperor glanced at Meng Yi and said lightly: "Get the water!"
Meng Yi quickly brought the water.
The emperor took a sip of water in his mouth, and then carefully put the elixir in the small box into his mouth and swallowed it without chewing it.
The pill was not very small, so the emperor coughed for a while.
Meng Yi was busy patting the emperor's back, but Lu Sheng's eyes shone brightly, bowed and smiled at the emperor, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, I will have another ten years of life!"
Although the emperor's face turned red, he still couldn't help laughing.
