Chapter 23 Emergencies

On the evening of the fourth day, Ying Gao, covered in dust, appeared outside his mansion. When Feng Qingyi saw Ying Gao, his wonderful eyes began to shine a little. He was as if he had seen a wolf with meat. Obviously, she had not had a good time for Ying Gao to accompany him these days.

So, that night, Yinggao's mansion was like thunder and earth fire. The long drought coincided with the rain. In short, it was a struggle until midnight, Yinggao had the chance to sleep.

Although the purpose of Ying Gao's return this time is indeed to enjoy himself, the First Emperor is also a person with sharp eyes and golden eyes. If he enjoys his life in the mansion every day, it would be a bit unreasonable.

So the next day, Ying Gao went to Xianyang Palace. Since the First Emperor gave him the right to report the construction of the new palace directly, Ying Gao's personality will certainly not wait for it to expire and become invalid. What's more, he just slightly improved the saw, which made the early construction achieve twice the result with half the effort. If he didn't ask for credit, he wouldn't win.

When the First Emperor, who was handling government affairs in the palace, saw Ying Gaochun coming with great pride, he had already thought that the matter of supervising the construction of the new palace was going very smoothly, so he put down the bamboo slips in his hand and asked about the construction of the new palace.

Ying Gao naturally reported the words he had prepared to the First Emperor, and invited the First Emperor to inspect the Wei River to see his achievements in person. Of course, the First Emperor would never go before the foundation of the new palace was laid. He just praised Ying Gao on the spot and gave up.

But Ying Gao, who was sharp-eyed, found that after a few days of missing, the First Emperor picked up the bamboo slip and trembled slightly. A bamboo slip was obviously not so serious that he had such a problem. After discovering this detail, Ying Gao felt a little shadow in his heart. Such behavior only shows that the First Emperor's body has begun to sound the alarm. He is no longer the eternal emperor who was so powerful in the world when he was young. The killer of time is about to start.

After discovering this, Ying Gao kept observing it secretly and found that there was an open bottle on the table where the bamboo slips were placed by the First Emperor. Judging from the size, it must be filled with a bottle of elixir.

"Oh, it seems that this pill is still causing the trouble. If this continues, it will be really only lasting for more than a year..." Ying Gao sighed in his heart and moved his lips, but he still didn't say anything in the end. How could he not know that the First Emperor's superstition about pills has almost reached the point of being crazy? Of course, he knew that he would die in the end, otherwise he would not have built the imperial tomb secretly. But at the same time, he hoped that these pills could extend his lifespan, but he did not know that the result of doing so would be to urge his life.

Ying Gao knew that Daqin had not left him much time. The death of the First Emperor would wake up a group of anti-Qin people who dared not act rashly under his power. At that time, if he did not have enough ability, not only Daqin would still be insured, but he would also be submerged in the rolling dust of history like the original Prince Gao.

Since taking the blame from Zhao Gao, the good news is that he has encountered a person like Zhu family who is both good at both civil and military affairs. In the future, he will no longer have to do everything himself. The bad news is that he doesn't know how Zhao Gao plays, and he hasn't found any handle.

Just as Ying Gao was thinking about it, he saw a man in a weird dress with a black veil on his face slowly walked out from behind the hall and whispered a few words in the ear of the First Emperor.

"You go back to your house first. I will reward you more than the day of the new palace this time!"

Obviously, because of this man's words, the First Emperor issued an order to expel his son. Ying Gao heard this without saying a word and immediately bid farewell, but when he turned around, Ying Gao saw through the corner of his eyes that the First Emperor poured the object in the bottle into his hands under the man's service, and then swallowed it directly.

"If we can find out what these endless killing alchemists are and why they are favored? Can we extend our lives for my cheap dad?"

With this immature idea, Ying Gao lowered his head and walked towards Feng Jie's mansion in contemplation. He had to take action. But if he was not here these days, the best ears and ears in the court were of course his father-in-law.

What disappointed Ying Gao was that he could not even find out the slightest bit of Emperor Shi Huang taking pills from Feng Jie's mouth. Emperor Shi Huang was always secretive about the alchemists around him and the pills he took, and no one dared to ask about the court officials. According to Feng Jie's words, even the most trusted Zhao Gao, Li Si and Meng Yi, most of whom the First Emperor believed in, most of them could not know the details of the people around Emperor Shi Huang.

However, through this conversation with Feng Jie, Ying Gao accidentally confirmed one thing, that is, after Zhao Gao was originally a nobleman of Zhao, he became a eunuch in his early years and went to the Qin Palace. He was able to get to this day step by step, which made Feng Jie sigh.

"Zhao Gao is not an old Qin man from the same lineage as the Ying family, but a Zhao man. Will he..."

After learning about this, an idea couldn't help but rise in Ying Gao's heart, making him impatiently want to confirm something.

However, before Ying Gao returned to the mansion and planned how to confirm what he wanted to confirm, a sudden trouble had already rushed towards him...

On the morning of the third day after returning to Xianyang City, a small official who participated in the construction of the new palace in the south of the Wei River came to Yinggao's mansion panting. When Yinggao saw his virtue, he knew that he was afraid that he would have had something difficult to do. Sure enough, as soon as this man spoke, Yinggao couldn't help but feel excited and started a cold war.

"Young Master is not doing well. Those serving in the service who are building the new palace have just started construction this morning. They all started vomiting and diarrhea. In just a short time, nearly half of them have fallen, and the number is still increasing. The project is probably delayed a lot today. I would like to ask your master to go back and take charge of the overall situation!"

Ying Gao heard this and almost took it over in one breath. This was something he never expected. And he was not asking him to go back and take the blame. However, he was responsible for the supervision of the creation of a new palace. This was indeed a matter of winning high scores. So Ying Gao had no choice but to black-face the face and let the minor official go back first.
