Chapter 181 Why is the Moon Goddess here again?!
What appeared in Ying Zheng's hand was a round pill, bright in color, and emitting a faint fragrance.
At first glance, it does indeed look like some kind of miracle drug.
There are too many mysterious things in this world, so it wouldn't be surprising if an elixir of immortality really existed.
Ying Jing wasn't so sure that the pills were harmful based on his past knowledge, but he still couldn't help but offer a reminder.
"Brother Wang is in the prime of his life, why would you need to use elixirs or external substances to refresh yourself?"
Ying Jing was aware of the Yin-Yang School's involvement in Qin, but he didn't expect that Ying Zheng would start taking elixirs so quickly.
After all, Ying Zheng is still very young, and the seven kingdoms have not yet been unified. His energy should be focused on this great cause that will last for thousands of years, so he shouldn't be thinking about immortality at this time.
Ying Zheng shook his head slightly, without answering, but instead surveyed the entire study with his deep and majestic tiger eyes.
No need to answer.
Looking at the numerous memorials filling the study, Ying Jing already had his answer.
"I've been lacking energy lately, but I'm really grateful for this."
Ying Zheng rubbed his temples, looking slightly tired, and then put the round pill into his mouth.
Ying Jing did not stop him.
The fact that Ying Zheng could swallow the pill so readily suggests that it had already been tested by the imperial physicians, and this was definitely not the first one.
Instead of trying to dissuade Ying Zheng, it would be better to first find out what exactly is going on with the Yin Yang School regarding this pill.
After swallowing a pill, Ying Zheng's eyes brightened considerably in a short while, and the fatigue on his face also faded a lot.
Therefore, regardless of whether there are any problems with this elixir, it certainly has positive effects.
Ying Jing was not surprised. There are many mysterious things in this world, and the Yin-Yang School's elixirs may not be entirely a scam.
Ying Zheng was not the kind of foolish ruler who would be easily fooled by a gimmick of immortality. He would not have taken the elixir if he had not actually experienced its effects.
At this moment, Ying Jing was carefully observing Ying Zheng's appearance out of the corner of his eye. Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of a striking strand of white hair among Ying Zheng's slightly thin and cold face.
Ying Zheng is still very young, but he already has white hair.
Even just a wisp of it shows how much effort he has put in over the years. No wonder he needs to take Yin Yang School pills to maintain his vigorous energy.
"Your Majesty, I truly do not know whether the advent of paper is a good thing or not for you."
Ying Jing's tone was somewhat complicated. Despite his high position, he had been confining himself to Zhangtai Palace day after day.
What Ying Zheng could do, he could not do.
This study used to be full of bamboo slips, but now, apart from the bamboo slips being replaced by paper, not much has changed; they are still piled up like a mountain.
After the memorials were replaced with paper instead of bamboo slips, Ying Zheng's efficiency in handling government affairs did increase significantly. However, he did not get more rest time as a result; instead, he had to deal with more government affairs every day.
Ying Zheng wanted to do something beyond human capabilities, but he was still just a human being, still a mortal.
Such daily hard work will inevitably cause irreversible damage to the body.
“It is naturally a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Third brother, there is no need to worry. The Yin-Yang School’s pills are indeed effective. I am now able to handle more government affairs every day than before.”
Ying Zheng seemed unwilling to delve deeper into the matter. He smiled and said, "By the way, Third Brother, don't you want to know who the wife I originally intended to bestow upon you was?"
Ying Jing was slightly taken aback, but his curiosity was also piqued: "I would like to ask you, my brother, to tell me."
"I have already met with the leader of the Yin-Yang School. This Yin-Yang School is skilled in divination and astrology, and boasts that they can predict the future. I do not believe it, but this elixir does indeed have some merit."
Ying Jing was taken aback again.
Why did Ying Zheng suddenly mention the Yin-Yang School again? Could it be...?
"The Yin-Yang School is, after all, a foreigner. If they want to integrate into the Qin State and serve our Great Qin, they need to make some contributions."
"The Moon Goddess, the protector of the Yin-Yang School, is quite beautiful. I have already appointed her as the Grand Preceptor of my Great Qin. If she were to form a bond with my third brother, it would be a wonderful thing."
"However, since my third brother is unwilling, I will not force him. After all, he is a woman of the martial world, and his status is too low."
Ying Zheng still looked somewhat regretful.
Moon...Moon Goddess?
Ying Jing unconsciously touched his smooth chin; this was truly an answer that made his jaw drop.
Judging from Ying Zheng's attitude, it's clear that Donghuang Taiyi and the Moon Goddess have already agreed.
If he agrees, the Moon Goddess will rightfully become Lady Changxin.
"What a strange development!"
While Ying Jing was still hesitating about how to deal with Lady Mingzhu and Dongjun, a Moon Goddess suddenly appeared!
"Thank goodness that Brother Zheng's attitude wasn't too tough!"
Otherwise, the backyard would probably be in complete chaos.
"However, we do need to make contact with the Moon Goddess now. Brother Zheng trusts the Yin-Yang School a lot. Whether the pills he takes are harmful, and what the Yin-Yang School's plans are, are all things that must be found out."
