Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 728  Chapter 299: Imperial Decree—Crowning the Crown Prince

Upon hearing this.

Ying Xiʼs expression subtly changed.

”Does the Great King not trust this subject?”

Ying Xi hurriedly spoke to Ying Zheng, looking like a wounded loyal minister.

”Judging by Zongzhengʼs demeanor, indeed, I do not trust him.”

At this moment.

The world is united, imperial power in hand, Ying Zheng harbored no good feelings.

Listening to this unrestrained tone.

Ying Xiʼs face completely transformed.

And this moment!

Numerous ministers echoed Ying Zhengʼs decree, heading towards the Dew Spring.

Soon.

Han Fei.

Huai Zhuang.

Wang Jian.

Feng Quji.

Each holding a bowl filled with spring water approached.

”First Emperor.”

”The spring water has been gathered.”

Han Fei raised a bowl and said.

”Lords, come and witness.”

Ying Zheng waved his hand and commanded authoritatively.

The ministers gathered around.

While Ying Xi stood aside with a very unpleasant expression.

This time.

It was indeed his last gamble.

Though foolish, he had no choice but to proceed.

The bowl of water he presented had indeed been tampered with. He initially thought that under public scrutiny, Ying Zheng wouldnʼt say anything, but he gravely underestimated Ying Zheng.

He underestimated Ying Zhengʼs determination to recognize Zhao Feng.

And again touched Ying Zhengʼs reverse scale.

Even if Ying Xi hadnʼt tampered with this bowl of water, upon his return to Xianyang, he wouldnʼt meet a good end, certain to die.

For when he brought up this so-called verification of bloodline, he had already entered Ying Zhengʼs list for elimination.

This was taboo.

”Bring the dagger.”

Ying Zheng gestured.

Ren Xiao respectfully handed over a dagger.

Ying Zheng stepped forward and took the dagger.

Then lifted the index finger of his left hand, directly sliced with the dagger, and blood immediately flowed.

Ying Zheng suspended his hand over the bowl, and blood dripped into the clear water.

A total of five drops.

All fell into the bowl.

”The blood recognition is performed.”

”This method lacks any scientific basis.”

Seeing this, Zhao Feng couldnʼt help but show a speechless expression.

However.

Blood of the same type can indeed blend together.

”Fengʼer.”

”Come here.”

Ying Zheng smiled and handed the dagger to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng, seeing this, did not refuse, stepped forward, and took the dagger.

Released True Yuan to regulate the flesh of the finger.

With a light slice of the dagger, the finger opened, and blood dripped into the bowl.

This was Zhao Feng acting on his own.

By releasing True Yuan, he made the flesh of his finger fragile; otherwise, the dagger couldnʼt pierce through his skin.

Now his physical body had reached an unimaginable degree, even without True Qi, unable to be injured by arrows or crushed by boulders.

Such celestial enhancement of All Attributes!

As the blood dripped into the bowl.

Everyoneʼs gaze focused on it.

Full of anticipation.

Under everyoneʼs gaze, the blood in the bowl gradually blended together in the spring water.

Witnessing this.

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Though uniquely.

Only the water presented by Ying Xi, the blood didnʼt blend together.

Seeing this.

Ying Zhengʼs eyes were filled with coldness.

”Zongzheng.”

”Do you remember what I just said?”

Ying Zheng coldly commanded.

This voice made Ying Xi tremble.

His face showed a hint of deathly gray.

He didnʼt argue anything.

Those around, seeing Ying Xi like this, instantly understood.

”Zongzheng Ying Xi, intended to taint my bloodline, deny the recognition between me and my son, and smear the name of the Empress.”

”The crime is unforgivable.”

”Convey my decree to strip Ying Xi of all ranks and titles, hand him over to the Tingwei for punishment, and strip all his clan members of their clan status, handing them over to the Tingwei for punishment.” Ying Zheng waved his hand and commanded coldly.

Facing this punishment.

Ying Xi didnʼt plead, for he knew begging would be futile.

He was well aware that the Emperor in front of him was ruthless, and knew he had violated the Emperorʼs taboo.

”Lords.”

”Do you see?”

”Zhao Feng is my son.”

”The legitimate eldest prince of Qin.”

Ying Zheng turned his head and addressed all ministers.

Upon hearing.

All ministers bowed to Zhao Feng: ”Ministers greet the Eldest Son.”

With this bow.

Even those of old nobility, with grievances towards Zhao Feng.

All respectfully bowed.

Because.

Zhao Feng being the Eldest Son was now a fact.

Confronted with this abrupt bow.

Zhao Feng remained complex in expression.

In this moment.

He became the legitimate eldest prince of Qin, likely the future Crown Prince.

This realization was somewhat incomprehensible to Zhao Feng.

”Blood recognition alone isnʼt sufficient.”

Zhao Feng contemplated inwardly.

With Divine Sense turned.

A drop of Ying Zhengʼs blood that dripped onto the ground was stored in the Storage Space.

Awaiting the future, Zhao Feng insisted on conducting an experiment.

To verify the source of the bloodline through the Way of the Martial Dao.

”Lords.”

”Someone continually suggested to me to establish the Queen and Crown Prince.”

”Now.”

”The Empress is established.”

”The Crown Prince shall be appointed.”

”Atop Mount Tai.”

”I declare Zhao Feng, my legitimate eldest son, decreed as the Crown Prince of Great Qin, commanding military and governance, to govern the nation alongside me,” Ying Zheng loudly professed.

Upon this declaration.

The ministers showed no surprise.

Because from the beginning, once Zhao Fengʼs identity was publicly known, recalling Ying Zhengʼs generosity toward Zhao Feng, his identity as the legitimate eldest son, coupled with Zhao Fengʼs capability.

If he couldnʼt be Crown Prince, then no one could be.

”The First Emperor truly favors Lord Wuʼan heavily.”

”Though the Crown Prince can manage state affairs, he cannot govern the nation together.”

”Just becoming Crown Prince yet already commanding military and governance, governing the nation.”
