The Queen Dressed as Lin's Sister

Wu Zhao was startled, and hurried to help Shui Rong. Shui Rong was tall and suddenly pressed down.

Xueyan and the maids and eunuchs shouted in fright, and they all rushed over with a "Hula", and Shui Rong fell to the ground, already unconscious, with pus and blood dripping from their arms, which looked shocking.

Wu Zhao fell to the ground and was slightly shocked. It was just a dull pain, but there was nothing serious about it. He quickly said, "Quick! Go and call the imperial physician!"

"Yes, madam!"

The palace maids rushed over and ran out in a hurry to call the imperial doctor.

Xueyan helped Wu Zhao up, and quickly asked the eunuchs to work together to help Shui Rong up, and put him flat on the bed.

At this time, the imperial physician rushed in and greeted him hurriedly. Wu Zhao said, "There is no need to greet the emperor. Hurry up and see the emperor."

The imperial doctor put the medicine box away, looked at Shui Rong's arm, and when he saw it, he let out a "hoo!!!" and took a deep breath, his face turned pale immediately, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and dripped down.

Wu Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "Emperor doctor, what's going on?"

The imperial physician faltered for a while, and said: "Your official... I haven't been able to see clearly yet, please wait a while, the empress."

Wu Zhao felt that what he said was not the truth, and that the water-soluble disease must be more serious.

Shui Rong passed out in a daze. When the imperial physician was checking his pulse, Shui Rong seemed to wake up in a daze for a while. Wu Zhao hurried over and said, "Your Majesty? Are you awake?"

Shui Rong's eyes were out of focus, his face was pale, his lips were gray and purple, he just glanced at Wu Zhao, then seemed unable to hold on, slowly closed his eyes, and did not open them again.

Wu Zhao was taken aback, and the imperial physician was even more taken aback. His expression was so dazed that he trembled.

Seeing the imperial physician's appearance, Wu Zhao knew that it was not a minor illness, so he frowned and said, "Emperor physician, what's wrong with the emperor?"

The imperial doctor was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "The empress, please forgive me...the empress, please forgive me!"

Wu Zhao trembled in his heart, and said, "What kind of life will you spare?"

The imperial doctor said tremblingly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty's illness seems...as if it is an epidemic in the disaster area."

When Wu Zhao heard his words, there was a "boom—" in his mind, and he looked at the fainting Shui Rong on the bed, the epidemic in the disaster area?

Shui Rong had indeed been to the disaster-stricken area, and just now the court was discussing the epidemic in the disaster-stricken area, and now he fell ill.

Wu Zhao immediately looked at the water-soluble wound and said, "How does the disease spread?"

The imperial doctor kowtowed and said, "This... the next official is still confirming, it's not... not very clear..."

Wu Zhao said: "Quickly check the wound for the emperor!"

The imperial doctor hurried over to check it again, broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "This... this..."

Seeing the imperial physician's reaction, Wu Zhao felt a "thud" in his heart. Shui Rong only suffered this injury when he went to the disaster area, and there was nothing else wrong. Shui Rong fell ill all of a sudden, Wu Zhao couldn't think of other problems at all, the focus must be on this wound.

The emperor suddenly fell ill, and many imperial physicians were called in. The imperial physicians checked the wound, and it turned out that there was something wrong with the wound. Wu Zhao was told not to touch the wound. This disease spreads very quickly and is fatal.

The queen mother heard that the emperor was ill, so she came to visit soon, and saw Shui Rong lying on the couch, unconscious, her face was pale, her lips were gray, and she was very anxious.

Shui Rong has been in good shape since he was a child. Although he looks gentle and gentle, he seems to be a gentle master, but in fact, Shui Rong was bred on horseback. He is tall and muscular, but many people are attracted by him. The gentle face was beguiling.

Now Shui Rong was lying on the bed with a pale face, how could the queen mother not be in a hurry, Wu Zhao hurriedly stopped the queen mother and said: "The emperor may be infected with the disease in the disaster area, the queen mother should not go there first."

The queen mother was so anxious that she said, "How could you be infected with the disease all of a sudden? How could it be like this?"

The empress dowager felt sorry for her son, she paced back and forth, seeing Shui Rong's haggard face, and said: "No, this is not the way, Ai's family decided to pray to the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao glanced at the water on the bed, thought for a while, and then heard the queen mother say: "Girl, you can go with Ai's family too."

Wu Zhao glanced at the water on the bed again, and then said, "Queen Mother, absolutely not."

The queen mother was a little surprised and said, "Why can't you pray for blessings?"

Wu Zhao frowned and said, "Diseases are spreading suddenly in the disaster area, and these diseases are likely to be spread by birds. It's very strange that there are so many birds in the border town for no reason. I'm afraid... I'm afraid some people came prepared. , if the news of the emperor's serious illness is spread at this time, it may affect the stability of the court."

The Queen Mother was not an ignorant person, she was shocked when she heard this, and said: "How could this happen, who the hell wants to do this?"

Who is it?

There are probably countless people who want to do this, after all, Shui Rong is the king of a country.

The Empress Dowager said: "Then... what should we do now?"

Wu Zhao thought for a while and said, "I also invite the Queen Mother, just to declare to the outside world that the emperor has an occasional cold, and it is not a serious problem."

The Queen Mother frowned, worried, and said: "Now...now this is the only way to go, there is no other way, and this is the only way to go."

Wu Zhao said: "You don't have to worry too much about the queen mother, lest people will see the clues. Please let the queen mother go back to the palace to rest. There is a daughter-in-law here to take care of her."

The queen mother was not very relieved, and said: "You should also take good care of yourself, and don't fall ill."

Wu Zhao nodded, and asked Xue Yan to send off the queen mother, while he stayed to take care of Shui Rong.

Lying on the bed, Shui Rong seemed to be conscious for a while, and unconscious for a while, but when he was conscious, he was muddled, and his eyes were out of focus.

Wu Zhao sat by the bed and wiped Shui Rong off his sweat with a handkerchief. Shui Rong's complexion was not very good. The imperial physician was studying the prescription, and seemed very flustered.

Wu Zhao raised his hand and wiped Shui Rong's forehead. Shui Rong seemed to be muttering something, but Wu Zhao couldn't hear clearly. Wu Zhao quickly lowered his head and heard Shui Rong whispering: "Wu Er... ...Wu Er..."

Wu Zhao's heart was shocked, and he held Shui Rong's palm. Shui Rong also held Wu Zhao's hand in his drowsiness. He didn't know if Shui Rong was conscious. He held Wu Zhao's hand, and slowly calmed down a little, and then fell into a deep sleep past.

The imperial physician over there studied for a long time, and finally came over tremblingly, knelt down and said, "Empress, this is the prescription."

Wu Zhao took a look at it, and said, "I don't care what prescription you use, the emperor's illness must be cured."

"Yes, yes, yes! The officer will do his best."

The imperial physicians quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Wu Zhao said indifferently: "There is another matter, and now the adults have also seen the situation. I don't want anyone to know about the emperor's illness. The imperial physicians are not in the palace for a day or two. , naturally understand what I mean, right?"

The imperial physicians quickly said: "Yes, please rest assured, Empress Dowager, I understand!"

Wu Zhao said, "Very well, I'll thank all the imperial physicians."

The imperial physicians quickly knelt down again, and then retreated one after another, preparing to boil the medicine and bring it over in a while.

Wu Zhao waited for the imperial physician to leave, then sat down slowly, squinting his eyes, as if he couldn't let go of the breath.

The emperor suddenly contracted the wind and cold, and postponed the early court. The ministers did not have any doubts. After all, the weather is changing now, and it is also possible to be infected with the wind and cold, so no one was too worried.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are also as usual, once every five days in the morning, there is no other business, the emperor usually discusses matters in the study, or holds small-scale court meetings, and does not see too many people.

Shui Rong was in a coma for three days in a row, and Wu Zhao helped him push a morning morning, but Shui Rong didn't get better. Sometimes he woke up in a daze, glanced at Wu Zhao, and fell asleep again in a daze. Simply did not wake up.

Wu Zhao was anxious, but there was no other way. The most she did was to help Shui Rong correct the memorials, and then sent them to the study, and then asked the ministers to come and take them away, and distributed them in the classroom.

Although Shui Rong hadn't woken up these days, there was nothing wrong with Wu Zhao's revision of the memorials, and it was all handy, so he didn't suspect anything, and everything was done step by step.

That day Wu Zhao revised the memorial. Seeing that it was getting late, he put down the vermilion pen and walked into the inner hall. Shui Rong was lying on the bed, still in a coma. Wu Zhao sat down slowly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Shui Rong's cheek .

But in the past three or four days, the watery cheeks have lost a lot of weight. After all, he can't wake up, and he can't eat any meals, so naturally he lost a lot of weight.

Wu Zhao said softly, "When are you going to wake up? Tomorrow is morning again. If you don't wake up, what reason do you want me to use to shirk?"

As Wu Zhao spoke, he sighed, at this time Xueyan suddenly rushed over and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Wu Zhao frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Xueyan hurriedly said: "Madam, the Minister of the Ministry of War over there suddenly asked to see him, and he was already outside the gate of the palace. He said it was...he said he had an important military report!"

Minister of the Ministry of War suddenly asked to see him, Wu Zhao thought it must be something unusual, but now that Shui Rong is unconscious, naturally he cannot be allowed to see Shui Rong.

Wu Zhao stood up and said, "Let's go, follow me to have a look."

The Minister of the Ministry of War quickly entered the bedroom, but he did not enter the inner hall, but was taken into the tea room of the bedroom. As soon as the Minister of the Ministry of War came in, he saw the empress sitting at the head, but did not see the emperor.

The Minister of the Ministry of War was a little suspicious, but he still respectfully knelt down to pay his respects, and said: "I pay my respects to the empress, I don't know that the emperor..."

Wu Zhao said lightly: "The emperor's cold is still not healed. He has already taken medicine today and just fell asleep. I don't know what's important for Mr. Shangshu?"

Minister of the Ministry of War hesitated a bit, but still said: "Returning to the empress, Luo Shuiguo suddenly sent troops to attack Caiwei Island, and the battle was tense, so the officials had to come late at night, please express it to the emperor."

Wu Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he seemed to understand everything immediately.

Caiwei Island...

Luo Shuiguo's mission before was for Caiwei Island. Caiwei Island is a battleground for military strategists. Last time, Wu Zhao asked the people of Luoshuiguo to write a letter of alliance to give up Caiwei Island, but it didn't come true. , the people of Luoshui Kingdom broke the contract and suddenly sent troops to attack Caiwei Island.

Wu Zhao finally understood why the people of Luoshui Kingdom would suddenly release flood water to their border towns, why the people of Luoshui Kingdom would suddenly be so considerate, sending food and wood to help fight the floods, and why there would be so many birds suddenly appearing in the border towns.

All of this must be Luo Shuiguo's strategy.

The few border towns that were submerged by the flood happened to be the border towns that Luo Shuiguo needed to pass through when sending troops. Now the border towns are flooded. In this way, although there are few casualties, when sending troops to pass by, they will definitely be affected. Aid is necessarily delayed.

There are also those birds, the water-soluble wounds suddenly fester, and the sudden outbreak of the epidemic in the disaster area, it is the problem of those birds, several border towns have epidemics one after another, and many people, whether it is civilians or soldiers, have been infected. Due to the epidemic problem, the soldiers in the army had no way to rescue them. When the imperial court sent troops, the distant water could not save the nearby fire.

Wu Zhao's expression turned cold immediately, and he said, "Master Shangshu, do you have a playbook?"

Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly took out the memorial book and handed it to Wu Zhao, who took it over and said, "This Palace will present it to the emperor, Lord Shang Shu please wait a moment."

As Wu Zhao said, he picked up the memorial book, walked out of the tea room, and entered the inner hall. Shui Rong was still unconscious. Wu Zhao said that he gave it to Shui Rong, but it was just an excuse to prevaricate the minister of the Ministry of War.

Wu Zhao went into the inner hall, sat down on a chair, and unfolded the notebook to see that it was an urgent report from Caiwei Island. Fighting against Luoshui State's attack, although Luoshui State's people were caught by surprise, they were not defeated immediately.

It's just that it is clearly written in the playbook that the people of Luoshui Kingdom are constantly sending troops, and they are bound to win Caiwei Island. If they only rely on the troops stationed on Caiwei Island to repel the soldiers and horses of Luoshui Kingdom, it must be It is not feasible, so the garrison on Caiwei Island has begged the imperial court to send troops for support.

Wu Zhao squinted his eyes. The people of Luoshui Kingdom had already prepared for it. Caiwei Island was obviously just the first step. They wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack.

After Wu Zhao finished reading the playbook, "Snap!" he closed the playbook, threw it aside, sneered on his face, and said, "If you want to die, then I'll be stubborn with you."
