Chapter 575: The First Emperor Dies
"It's done, it's done." Seeing the appearance of the First Emperor, Li Chen knew that this was a return to the light, and he was afraid that he had not run away.
Now I can only bet that a green jade pill will have a miraculous effect, if not, I am afraid that the time of the first emperor will be this time.
Seeing Li Chen come in, the first emperor pulled the gruel in the bowl clean, and then handed the bowl in his hand to the little eunuch who was waiting beside him.
"I'm back." The First Emperor looked at Li Chen and asked softly.
"Well, I'm back." Li Chen responded.
"Did this kid Fusu tell you secretly?" The First Emperor asked.
Li Chen was fighting on the front line, so the First Emperor strictly ordered that Li Chen should not be informed of his physical condition, so as not to affect the morale of the soldiers at the front. And now that Li Chen came back suddenly, the first emperor must have secretly informed Li Chen of the news that he was seriously ill.
"How dare Fusu disobey Your Majesty, it's just that the minister happened to get the green jade pill of the Tokugawa family. The Tokugawa family boasted about this medicine as if it were a miracle medicine, and the minister thought that the medicine might not have an effect on His Majesty's injuries. As soon as I got the medicine here, I went back to Xianyang day and night. Li Chen explained to the First Emperor.
The First Emperor looked at Li Chen, only to see that Li Chen's armor was still stained with dried blood scabs, and the whole person looked idle, and there was no rest along the way.
"The way back is not smooth." The First Emperor looked at the blood stains on Li Chen's body and asked in a deep voice.
Looking at the first emperor's serious face, Li Chen said with relief: "It's not a big deal, it's just a few thieves on the road, and it can be easily solved." ”
A worried expression leaked from the First Emperor's face, and he said earnestly: "As soon as I leave like this, I'm afraid that Great Qin will become a mess again." ”
"Father, where is this, with the Qingyu Pill, I can't say that Your Majesty's body will be able to recover in the future." Ying Yue on the side comforted.
"Hey, I know my physical condition. Now I'm afraid that the little ghosts in the underworld are waiting for me, and I'm afraid that I may not be able to see the sun today. The First Emperor said softly, with no sadness or joy on his face.
Almost all people are afraid of death, but from the face of the First Emperor, Li Chen did not see the slightest fear of death. Indifferent, the face of the first emperor was only indifferent.
"How's the war going on the front?" The First Emperor changed the subject and asked about the battle ahead.
"The situation on the front line is very good, and now that we have taken Shuri Island, we will be able to completely clear the Ryukyu Islands in two months at most, and there will be absolutely no problem in taking Fuso a year ago." Li Chen replied.
"Yes, yes."
"My Great Qin is going to have dozens more counties and counties, and it is really a blessing for my Great Qin to have you." The First Emperor held Li Chen's hand and said.
At this time, Xia Wuhe walked in with a bowl of cyan white water.
"Your Majesty, this is the potion cut by the Qingyu Pill, you can take it and try the effect." Xia Wuhe said with the medicine.
After the research of the doctors of Tai Hospital, this green jade pill contains a lot of medicinal effects, and long-term use should have the effect of prolonging life and strengthening the body. However, medicine does not heal the dead, if he had obtained this green jade pill earlier, the first emperor's body might have improved. But now that the First Emperor is terminally ill, this medicine may not be of any use.
Although emotionally speaking, the doctors of the Tai Hospital also hope that this medicine can have a miraculous effect. But pharmacologically, it is indeed not very promising.
However, at this time, you can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, after all, there is a bit of hope that you can't try it well.
"Imperial Physician Xia, my father won't hurt his body if he takes this thing." Fusu asked with concern.
Xia Wuhe and others said before that the first emperor's current physical condition is very poor, and if he forcibly takes medicine, he is afraid that not only will it not be able to play a therapeutic role, but it will also hurt his body.
Hearing Fusu's words, Xia Wuhe hurriedly replied: "The medicinal power of this green jade pill is very gentle, and it will not hurt the body, Your Majesty can take it with confidence." ”
As soon as Xia Wuhe's voice fell, the First Emperor had already drunk all the medicine. When people are about to die, they can vaguely feel it. The First Emperor could already vaguely sense that his death was imminent, but in order not to worry the others, he still took the potion.
"Imperial Doctor Xia, can this medicine save my father." Ying Yue asked anxiously.
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Xia Wuhe's forehead. It's a difficult question to answer, and if he says no, he's announcing the death of the First Emperor. But if he says that he can save it, but he knows that this medicine will not be of much use, will it not be a crime of deception at that time.
"This medicine is indeed a rare good medicine, and long-term use also has the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life. However, whether this medicine can be effective on His Majesty depends on His Majesty's physique. Xia Wu said ambiguously.
This is a typical example of saying that is equal to not saying, just like the health products in the previous life, it must be impossible to eat the dead, but whether it is effective or not, you have to experience it yourself.
Everyone is not stupid, Xia Wuhe said this, everyone naturally understood a little. This is obviously not very hopeful, but it is true, this is not heaven on earth, but there is no golden elixir for resurrection.
The atmosphere in the entire dormitory is particularly depressing, which makes people's mood very heavy.
"Go, call the painter in the palace." The First Emperor suddenly commanded the little eunuch beside him.
Not long after, the painter came.
"Li Chen helped me up, I haven't been out of this dormitory for a few days, I want to go out and have a look." The First Emperor said to Li Chen.
Several little eunuchs helped the First Emperor put on his clothes, Li Chen and Ying Yue helped the First Emperor to one side, and Fusu also followed out in a wheelchair.
When the four of them came to the square in front of the dormitory, a little eunuch brought a chair, the first emperor sat on the chair, Fusu sat in a wheelchair, and Li Chen and Yingyue stood behind the two.
"Painter, let him draw quickly." The First Emperor commanded the little eunuch beside him.
At this time, the painter had already ground cinnabar and other pigments, and the drawing paper was also set on the table, and the pen began to paint the scene at this time.
Behind the four-person face painter is half of the sun that has leaked out, and the sky is full of red and fiery sunrise.
About two quarters of an hour later, the artist put away his brush, and a lifelike "family portrait" appeared on the paper.
At this time, the First Emperor sat on a chair and looked at the three of them, and said in a weak tone: "My wish has been fulfilled, remember, scatter my ashes to the sea, I want to see the vastness of the world." ”
"May there be a day when the sun and the moon shine on Qin soil."
After the First Emperor finished speaking, his hands fell weakly, and he closed his eyes forever.
"Father."
"Father."
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty." Wails and cries rang out, but unfortunately the First Emperor couldn't respond to them when he was there.
As soon as the sky was bright, the entire Xianyang City was already full of plain water.
Seeing this scene, the people of Xianyang knew that the great First Emperor had died.
For a while, the sound of howling and crying sounded throughout Xianyang City.
