Reborn from the bottom of the coffin, the miracle doctor and the ugly concubine fight against the wo

In order to wait for Xu's return, Chu Zhao stayed awake. He put on his clothes and sat under the lamp, writing and drawing on a piece of white paper.

Xu Hui came in through the back window and saw her sitting at her desk concentrating on writing. It was exactly the same as in her previous life. He couldn't help but think of every night in those years when he accompanied her to review memorials and handle government affairs under the lamp.

He made tea for her, grinded ink, cut lantern flowers for her, put on clothes for her when it was cold, and fanned her when it was hot.

Sometimes she would ask him to eat supper with her, and sometimes she would lie down on the desk and fall asleep. He would carry her to the bed, take off her shoes, undress and cover her with the quilt. In the summer, he would stay by the bed to help her get out of bed. mosquito.

Those days were trivial and long, but he didn't feel boring at all. He liked this kind of company and wished that the days could continue like this indefinitely.

For him, there is nothing more important and meaningful than staying by His Majesty's side.

It was then.

Now too.

"It's late at night, what are you still writing, Your Majesty?" Xu Hui walked over, stood behind Chu Zhao, helped her pull up her slipping coat, and naturally kneaded her shoulders and neck with his hands.

"This is not Dayan's court. Is there anything that your Majesty needs to stay up late to deal with?"

Chu Zhao hummed twice in comfort and turned to look at him: "You came just in time. I have something very important for you to do."

"Whatever it is, Your Majesty just gives you orders." Xu Hui said.

Chu Zhao put down the pen in his hand, pinched his brows, and said in a solemn tone: "I want you to burn all the grain in Xirong's treasury, as well as all the shops in the city and the granaries of rich officials' families in the shortest possible time."

Xu Hui was startled and unconsciously stopped kneading: "Does Your Majesty want to give them a blow and make them fall into disarray due to lack of food?"

"That's almost it, but more importantly, I want both King Xirong and Sulekun to bow their heads to me and obediently deliver Xirong into my hands."

Xu Hui didn't understand: "Your Majesty has cut off their food. It's too late for them to hate Your Majesty, so how can they obediently surrender?"

Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows and showed a confident smile: "Take away their most important things, and then give them the most important things in charity. Won't they become better behaved?"

Xu Hui still didn't understand, and at the same time he thought of another thing: "I received news from Tianjimen from the capital, saying that the Dayan court will cut off the supply of food and grass to the west. If the news is true, our own army will have to How can we give alms to others when we are facing a food shortage crisis?”

Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Feng Guanlan is a damn eunuch, are you starting to attack me now?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, food and grass are the most important part of marching and fighting. We will soon have to worry about food and grass. How can there be any surplus food to give to Xirong? If Your Majesty wants to drain the fire, why not I find a way to transfer the food from Xirong and keep it for us in the future?" use it yourself."

"No." Chu Zhao waved his hand to veto his proposal. "It only takes one person to burn out a granary. Even 100 people may not be enough to empty a granary. Therefore, it is easier to burn it down."

Xu thought about it and said: "I don't mean to sympathize with the people of Xirong, but if we only burn the treasury, grain stores and the homes of wealthy officials, they will rob the common people. In the end, it is the common people who will starve and suffer."

"What we want is this effect." Chu Zhao said, "Water can carry a boat and capsize it. If the people's rations that they depend on for survival are taken away, they will definitely rebel. At that time, the King of Xirong will only have two choices. Besieged by angry people, or bow to me and seek refuge.”

She paused and then said: "I know this is unfair to the people, but compared to them massacring our Dayan people, I am already extra merciful."

"It's natural." Xu Hui nodded and said, "If Your Majesty hadn't been caring for the world and established himself with benevolence and righteousness, he wouldn't have been spread by people to this day. But then again, after the food was burned, where would Your Majesty go to make up for it?"

"You don't have to worry about this. I will have a solution when the time comes." Chu Zhao said.

Xu Hui saw that she was speaking firmly, so he stopped asking any more questions, clasped his fists in response, told her to rest early, and climbed out of the back window.

Chu Zhao walked to the window and told him to be careful. He would rather fail to get things done than put himself in danger.

"If this plan doesn't work, we can think of other ways, but if something happens to you, my heart will never be at peace. Do you remember?"

"Remember." Xu Hui smiled gently at her, "Your Majesty, don't worry, for your Majesty's sake, I won't let anything happen to me."

"Yes." Chu Zhao nodded and watched him disappear into the night. Just as he was about to close the window and go back to rest, the door rang and Sule Kundu walked in with a gloomy face.

Seeing Chu Zhao standing in front of the back window, Sule Kundu frowned and immediately became alert: "What are you doing there?"

"I didn't do anything. I couldn't sleep and looked at the moonlight." Chu Zhao said calmly, but in fact he was really shocked in his heart.

Sule Kundu didn't believe her words, so he walked over quickly, pushed her away, and looked out.

The moonlight was shining brightly outside, the night breeze was blowing, and there was no one around.

"Where are the people? Why is there no one guarding the back?" Sule Kundu asked loudly.

After a while, a guard came in a hurry and apologized tremblingly: "The eldest prince, please calm down. It will be convenient for the younger one to go."

"Isn't it convenient that you can't change shifts with someone else?" Sule Kundu said coldly, suddenly pulled out his sword, swung it through the window, and chopped off the guard's head with one blow.

Before the guards could react, the head fell to the ground. As the body fell, Sulekun shouted: "Come here, come here..."

The sound of kicking footsteps sounded, and the captain of the guard quickly arrived with several guards.

Seeing the body of the guard lying on the ground, several people were startled, thinking that there was an assassin, so they drew their swords out of their sheaths, intending to protect the eldest prince.

"Okay, leave me alone." Sule Kundu did not explain the cause of the guard's death, but said with a cold face, "Go and search the entire palace carefully to see if there are any suspicious persons coming or going."

"Yes." The captain of the guard took the order and asked someone to lift the body of the guard and hurried away.

Sule Kundu closed the window and looked at Chu Zhao with that cold look.

Chu Zhao spread his hands and said, "I'm just admiring the moon. Your Highness, there's no need to fight with all the trees and grass."

"We'll wait until the search is over to see if we are all soldiers." Sule Kundu grabbed her wrist, dragged her to the bed, and threw her on the bed hard. "You'd better be honest with me and don't try to play tricks, otherwise I will The king will reward you as a plaything to those soldiers."

"Why should I give it to others? Is it because His Highness doesn't like me, or because His Highness doesn't like women?" Chu Zhao asked with a smile.

Sulekun was speechless and gave her a look of contempt: "Some captives' value lies in their bodies, while some captives' value lies in their identities, and you are the latter. As long as you don't act like a monster, I will not humiliate your body." .”

"In this way, my status as the regent of Dayan is a good umbrella to protect me from the wind and rain." Chu Zhao said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I don't know anyone in this palace, I just want to be a monster." , and there is no one to help me, I will just be a prisoner who abides by my duty."

"This is the best." Sulekun stopped talking nonsense and turned to leave.

"Your Highness came here so late at night just to give me a warning?" Chu Zhao asked him with a smile.

Sulekundu paused slightly, without looking back. After a moment, he went straight out the door without saying anything.

"What a weirdo." Chu Zhao shook his head and muttered.

This man came to her room in the middle of the night, hacked a guard to death, and then left like this. Isn't this simply sick?

Forget it, never mind, now she just hopes that Xu Hui can run faster and hide better, so as not to be discovered by the guards.

As long as Xu Hui can succeed, the next thing will be much smoother, and she will see Xiao Chi faster.
