The Great Qin Dynasty: The egg of the Black Bird was revered as a national guardian beast.

"Immortality?"

His expression faltered for a moment.

The First Emperor seemed to recall something, and lowered his eyes to look at Xuan Ye beneath the bed: "You haven't given up yet?"

"His Majesty."

Xuan Ye smiled and looked at the First Emperor.

He said, "I didn't know what I learned from being around you before, but now I do."

"Hmm?" The First Emperor was taken aback for a moment, but quickly turned his gaze to Xuan Ye: "What?"

"Arrogant and stubborn!"

Xuan Ye said calmly,

He turned his head to look at the flickering candlelight beside the bed.

As if blinded by the firelight, he lowered his gaze and smiled nonchalantly: "This is where my stubbornness lies."

There was no answer; he simply pulled a box from his pocket.

Looking at the box in his hand, his eyes were somewhat glazed, unsure whether he should let the First Emperor take it.

The person who survived the drug trial.

He had the imperial physician examine him, who said that he was unconscious for some unknown reason, but was still alive.

Moreover, his pulse was stronger than anyone else's.

But why he hasn't woken up yet remains unknown.

The potential dangers are unknown. If the First Emperor were to take this medicine, what would happen if he ended up like that person?

He let out a breath and lowered his eyes.

Well, he's just unconscious. As long as the First Emperor is still alive, there's still a way.

"Your Majesty, this is an elixir of immortality."

As he spoke, Xuan Ye raised his hand and opened the jade box.

Three round pills, gleaming slightly in the candlelight, lay inside.

The First Emperor lowered his eyes and looked.

The candlelight flickered by the bed, casting some color on his face, making it no longer so pale.

His gaze, however, was somewhat unfocused: "This..."

He had barely made a sound when he started coughing, and the only sound in the carriage was his violent coughing.

The First Emperor clenched his fist and placed it in front of his lips.

When the sound subsided, the First Emperor lowered his hand, but his hand was stained with mottled blood.

"His Majesty."

Seeing the First Emperor's appearance, Xuan Ye raised his hand and presented the jade box in front of him.

"Please take your medicine!"

Once you take it, you will no longer feel pain.

But then, the First Emperor leaned against the bed, smiled, turned his head to the side, and said, "This medicine...is there something wrong with it?"

Xuan Ye was taken aback.

There was no answer, but the First Emperor smiled and continued, "I can see it from your eyes."

She raised her head and looked at the person on the bed.

"Ahem." He looked at Xuan Ye: "Why don't you tell me what's wrong with this medicine?"

After a long silence, Xuan Ye nodded: "Okay."

He lowered his eyes and said softly, "After taking this medicine, His Majesty will fall into a coma."

"That's how it is."

The First Emperor turned around with a smile, and before him lay fallen leaves.

The First Emperor's vision flickered slightly.

He smiled slightly: "If things had been like this, you and I under that paulownia tree, that was the most unforgettable moment for me..."

"I always remember that you loved to stay in that sycamore tree, always standing there in a daze."

The First Emperor's voice grew softer and softer.

Finally, she gently closed her eyes, as if she had truly returned to the past, and smiled faintly.

"His Majesty!"

Xuan Ye stood up and looked at the First Emperor.

Without thinking twice, he took out a pill from the jade box and forced it into the First Emperor's mouth.

In a daze.

The First Emperor seemed to open his dazed eyes.

He saw a person whose eyes weren't looking at him, but rather darting around, as if talking to himself.

She bent down and spoke softly in front of him.

"It will be alright, it will be alright soon."

She was completely drained of energy, her double eyelids drooped, and in the next moment she was completely swallowed by darkness.

.............

He stepped out of the car.

Li Si and Zhao Gao were still waiting outside.

Upon seeing Xuan Ye emerge, they hurried over to greet him. Before Li Si could even speak, Zhao Gao couldn't help but ask.

"Royal Physician, how is His Majesty?"

Standing under the carriage,

He raised his eyes, glanced at them first, then turned back to look at the huge chariot behind him.

After a long silence, he nodded: "Your Majesty is well."

The scene was somewhat quiet.

Li Si's brow twitched, as if he were somewhat disbelieving and worried. Was His Majesty truly well?

After all, His Majesty didn't seem to be doing well when they came out.

Xuan Ye didn't explain anything to them.

He simply raised his eyes and looked at the dark mass of troops in the distance, which were protecting them.

He let out a breath.

He said, "We'll set off tomorrow and return to Xianyang."

After taking the elixir of immortality, the First Emperor fell into a coma, making an eastern tour impossible. He had no choice but to return to Xianyang to make further plans.

"this."

At this moment, Li Si also realized what was going on.

Looking at Xuan Ye, he asked, "His Majesty never abandons a task halfway through. Imperial Physician, are you forging an imperial edict?"

Upon hearing Li Si's voice, Zhao Gao realized what was happening.

But he didn't say anything, and in a panic, he ran towards the First Emperor's carriage.

Li Si said no more and walked away.

Looking at them, Xuan Ye stood there, shaking his head, and then walked in. He saw Zhao Gao talking to the eunuch.

He nodded and the eunuch ran outside.

Before long, hurried footsteps were heard, and Xia Wuqie walked in, panting, carrying a medicine bag.

He put down the medicine bag and walked to the bedside.

He took the First Emperor's hand out and placed it on the surface, then frowned, looking surprised and suspicious.

"How is the Imperial Physician?"

Seeing this, Li Si couldn't help but ask a question.

"How strange," Xia Wuqie said.

Turning back: "Your Majesty's pulse is strong and powerful, unlike that of a sick or weak person; he is even healthier than the average person."

"I truly do not know why this is so."

He touched his chin, questioning the meaning of life.

"Just now when I took His Majesty's pulse, it was as weak as a candle flickering in the wind."

The candlelight inside the carriage flickered gently, and Li Si looked up at Xuan Ye.

"Chief Physician, you know what's going on, right?"

Without denying it, he narrowed his eyes slightly: "His Majesty is currently unconscious and cannot proceed with the eastern tour."

"Fearing that the world may change, I intend to lead my entourage back to Xianyang."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Li Si: "What does the Prime Minister think?"

Li Si nodded: "That's how it should be."

Although the First Emperor was in a coma, his pulse was strong.

Although it is unknown what the physician did, it seems to be a positive development, as Li Si has also put aside his hostility towards Xuan Ye.

He looked at him and said, "But you must not turn back. Take the shortest route, turn around and go back to Anlu, then return to the capital via Wuguan Road."

Zhao Gao then said, "What the Prime Minister says is correct."

Because if the route were reversed, it would be obvious that something serious had happened to the imperial carriage, causing it to turn back hastily, which would easily arouse suspicion.

If those familiar with the First Emperor's actions were to learn of this, they might mistakenly believe that the First Emperor had already died, and the sun had set...

"Not so."

Li Si placed his hands horizontally in front of him and thought for a moment.

"Pretend to continue the inspection tour, but change the route to Zhucheng, then head north and return to Xianyang via Hangu Pass."

Although it's a longer journey than turning back from here.

But the route was much more normal and less likely to arouse suspicion.

"Alright, that's settled." Xuan Ye nodded, turned around to look at the First Emperor on the couch, and waved his hand.

"Go and make preparations, based on the Prime Minister's opinion."

"Chief Physician." Li Si raised his head, wanting to ask more about the First Emperor's coma.

"The rest can be discussed later."

Xuan Ye spoke calmly, his voice not loud, but the determination in his tone was unprecedented.

Li Si sighed.

He lowered his hand heavily, turned around, and walked outside.

After Li Si left, Xuan Ye dismissed Xia Wuqie and Zhao Gao.

There are now only two people left in the car.

There was no sound.

Looking at the First Emperor lying on the bed, Xuan Ye gently closed his eyes and after a long while, whispered.

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you to wake up."
