These days, Wu Zhao takes care of Shui Rong by himself.

It has been a month since he was in a water-soluble coma. At first, he could wake up occasionally and open his eyes. Although he had no focus, he could take a vague look at Wu Zhao before falling asleep again.

It's just that gradually, the number of times I even opened my eyes decreased, my face became paler, and I looked worse and worse.

Wu Zhao knew in her heart that the haggard look on Shui Rong's face was getting worse after all, but she was not reconciled.

The number of imperial physicians came more and more, and then there were two imperial physicians taking turns to see patients in the bedroom every day.

Wu Zhao sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking the cheeks of Shui Rong. The tall and handsome appearance in the past became haggard, his face was pale, his lips were ashen, lying on the bed, motionless, his breathing was very weak, and even his body temperature was a little cold .

Wu Zhao stroked his cheek lightly, feeling his palm trembling slightly, the imperial doctor said the same thing every day, try his best, only dare to promise that he will do his best, dare not say when Shui Rong will wake up, or even I dare not say that Shui Rong is getting better. After all, Wu Zhao also has eyes. How could he not see that Shui Rong's condition has not improved at all, but is getting worse.

Wu Zhao sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, stretched out his hand to hold the water-soluble palm, and didn't know what he was thinking. Xueyan waited on him, but he didn't dare to speak.

At this time, suddenly a maid came in from the outside, but she didn't dare to go in, she stopped at the door, Xueyan hurried over, and after hearing two words from the maid, she said in a hurry: "Go down."

After Xueyan finished speaking, she hurried over and said, "Your Majesty."

Wu Zhao came back to his senses and said, "What's the matter? But there's news from Caiwei Island?"

Xue Yan shook her head and said: "No, Madam, some adults are at the door asking Your Majesty to see the Emperor."

When Wu Zhao heard this, he didn't say anything, and there was no surprise or anxiety on his face. He just put Shui Rong's hands back into the quilt, then got up, and tidied the brocade quilt for Shui Rong. After everything was tidied up, he said, "Go out." have a look."

Xueyan hurriedly followed Wu Zhao out, those ministers were all stopped outside the palace, Wu Zhao ordered them to be led to the tea room to settle down.

Wu Zhao walked into the tea room and looked around. Many ministers came, such as Ministers of the Ministry of Households, Ministers of the Ministry of War, Ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and so on. There were three people from the Minister of Finance alone, and other officials, all of whom were of relatively high rank. A person of some status in the court.

Wu Zhao walked over gracefully, first sat down, and the ministers saluted Wu Zhao, Wu Zhao was not in a hurry, after letting people get down, he picked up the tea bowl, blew on the leaves, and took a leisurely sip of tea. Then he said: "Several adults have come to the emperor's bedroom. I don't know what it is?"

The Minister of Rites cupped his hands and said: "Empress, I want to see the emperor, and I have something important to report."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Is there something important to report? I don't know what it is. Now the emperor has just taken the medicine and has already fallen asleep. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to disturb you. If you have any memorials, you can report them now. I will tell you later." Take it in and show it to the emperor."

The few ministers looked at each other, and then the Minister of the Household Department said: "Your Majesty, this is an urgent matter, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient, so... I would like to ask the Empress to pass it on, saying that I am waiting for the old minister to report something important."

The others responded quickly, saying, "Yes, yes."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Really?"

She said, still very leisurely and peaceful, gently fiddled with the lid of the tea bowl, and said with a smile: "Is there something important to report, or can't you trust me?"

Those few ministers looked at each other even more in blank dismay, seemed a little hesitant, and dared not speak for a moment.

Wu Zhao said again: "I told you, the emperor has just rested, so it's inconvenient to disturb me now."

The Minister of Rites cupped his hands and said: "Empress, when will the emperor wake up, and when will I come to disturb you? I wonder if the empress can give you a letter."

Wu Zhao smiled and said: "Master Shangshu said this, as if the emperor's affairs, the palace can decide, you all keep the playbook, the emperor will review it when he wakes up, and there will be no delay." thing."

The Minister of Rites frowned, and said: "Empress, the old minister has an unpleasant sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Wu Zhao put down the teacup with a "snap!", raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "Master Shangshu has already mentioned this point, so what should be said is wrong, don't you all want to say it?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites looked a bit unhappy, and several other people gave him winks, but the official of the Ministry of Rites ignored him and said in a cold voice: "Empress, please forgive me for offending the old minister. Now the emperor has not been to the study for a month. I will not see the old minister at all." When it comes to the emperor, every time he comes to the palace, he is also blocked by the empress, and for a month, the emperor has already taken medicine and fell asleep, how can I be convinced by the old minister?"

Wu Zhao said: "Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, what is the explanation for this statement?"

The official book of the Ministry of Rites simply smashed the jar and said: "What the old minister means is that the emperor has not been to the study for a month, and even for a month, the court has only been separated by a curtain, and he has never said a word of seriousness. 'Hmm', if you just coughed and couldn't speak, wouldn't it be strange for the Empress?!"

Wu Zhao said indifferently: "The emperor has severe wind and cold, why is it strange?"

The Minister of Rites said: "I'm afraid it's not the emperor's severe cold, but the empress's empress...you may have ulterior motives!"

As soon as he said this, even the Shangshu of the Ministry of Household and the Shangshu of the Ministry of War who were next to him were taken aback.

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, we didn't intend to embarrass you, nor did we intend to offend the Empress, but... just worried about the emperor's comfort, so..."

Wu Zhao said coldly: "Worried about the emperor's comfort? You can go straight to the bedroom without being summoned. You are still here, and you are still the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Do you know what the crime is?"

The Minister of Rites did not seem to be afraid of Wu Zhao, saying: "The old minister is loyal and dedicated to the emperor. Now that he has not seen the emperor for a month, the old minister feels uneasy. I am afraid that some people with a heart deliberately did it. Even if the old minister wants to lose his head today, I also want to see the emperor!"

Wu Zhao smiled faintly and said, "A person with a heart?"

The Minister of Rites sneered and said: "Don't you know what a caring person is? In front of civil and military officials, it is definitely not the emperor's will to give up Caiwei Island. Caiwei Island is not only a battleground for military strategists, but also my court's face. I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know that the empress is doing this!"

"presumptuous!!"

As soon as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, he heard an angry shout, and with the sound of "Tat Tat Tat", Wei Ruolan had already brought a team of Dragon Guards in from outside.

The ministers were startled for a moment, Wei Ruolan is the minister leading the guards, his official position is higher than anyone else here, not to mention driving in from the outside, he also brought dozens of Dragon Forbidden Captains, one by one Persevere in weapons.

Wei Ruolan walked in with strides, Captain Long dispersed instantly, and surrounded everyone in the tea room, Wei Ruolan said with a cold face: "My lords, entering the bedroom without a summons is already a capital offense, and now you speak rudely, All adults, please respect yourself!"

Wu Zhao glanced at Wei Ruolan, don't look at his usual laughing appearance, but you are quite majestic at this time, and you really deserve to be a high-ranking official.

The few ministers looked at each other, and the Minister of Rites was also a little scared when he saw Long Jinwei, but he still stuck his neck and said: "The old minister is loyal, but I just don't want foreign relatives to occupy the court! Who doesn't know that Mrs. Lin is in a high position, and the empress The empress has participated in politics many times, the emperor is sick again, and the veterans are loyal, death is not a pity!"

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "It's a good sentence to die."

Just like this, someone outside suddenly came in, it turned out to be the empress dowager.

As soon as everyone saw it, they all knelt down to greet her. The queen mother directly passed everyone, helped Wu Zhao up with her own hands, and said repeatedly: "Don't kneel, don't kneel, didn't I tell you that you are inconvenient, you can't kneel, usually the emperor I don't even ask you to kneel, and Ai's family feels very distressed."

When everyone saw the Queen Mother's reaction, they immediately felt very flustered.

The Empress Dowager helped Wu Zhao up, pulled Wu Zhao to sit down, then sat down herself, and said: "The Ai family came to see the emperor today, and heard that the emperor's wind and cold have improved a bit, I don't know what your lords are here for? Look here, Aijia, it's so lively."

Several ministers were a little frightened, not only the ministers who were leading the first-rank bodyguards ran over, but even the empress dowager came, and all of them spoke well of Wu Zhao.

The queen mother said: "The Ai family knows that you are loyal, but the emperor is really sick, and he is afraid that he will be a minister. With the queen here to take care of you, you don't have to worry too much, just do your job well."

"But……"

The Minister of Rites seemed to want to fight to the death, because he was afraid that Wu Zhao, a relative, would monopolize the power. At this moment, General Gao suddenly strode in from the outside and said loudly: "Good news!!! Good news——"

General Gao rushed in and was a little dumbfounded. He only knew that the empress was in the tea room at this time, but he didn't expect that there were so many people, and Captain Long drove in.

Wu Zhao was very calm, and said with a smile: "General Gao, how come the good news?"

General Gao quickly knelt down and said in a loud voice: "The Empress, good news! Caiwei Island is a great victory! Without adding a single soldier or a grain of food, the Caiwei Island garrison has followed the method of the Empress, and the soldiers of the Luoshui Kingdom have been dispatched. The horses lost their helmets and armor, reoccupied Caiwei Island, and captured countless prisoners!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. They had already given up Caiwei Island before, and the empress was unwilling to send a single soldier there. Unexpectedly, they won like this, and it was a big victory.

Wu Zhao glanced at the crowd faintly, and said with a smile, "I know what all the adults are thinking in their hearts. I wonder if I am a witch who will bring disaster to the country and the people..."

The ministers all lowered their heads, not knowing what to say. Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Please rest assured, my lords, even if I am a witch, it is not the only way out to bring disaster to the country and the people. Please, my lords, don't worry, please go back." .”

The faces of the few ministers who came couldn't see a few points. They were not angry, but ashamed, and quickly knelt down to admit their mistakes.

At this time, Xueyan rushed over and whispered something to Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao was startled, stood up quickly, saluted the Queen Mother, and said, "Masters, go back first."

She said that's all, immediately turned around and left the tea room, and went directly to the inner hall.

The imperial physicians had gathered around the inner hall, it wasn't that Shui Rong woke up, but Shui Rong's condition seemed to be getting worse, there was a lot of blood on the bed, Shui Rong suddenly coughed up blood, but he didn't wake up, he was still unconscious, his pale face was covered with blood.

Wu Zhao was heartbroken, and rushed over. At this time, Shui Rong started to cough again, and vomited a mouthful of blood, all of which was vomited on Wu Zhao. The imperial doctors were frightened, and said quickly, "Your Majesty, be careful."

The water-soluble blood contained disease, which could be contagious, as long as it touched a wound, it would be contagious. Fortunately, Wu Zhao didn't have any wounds on his body.

Wu Zhao quickly supported Shui Rong, wiped Shui Rong carefully with a handkerchief, and said, "Emperor doctor, what's wrong with the emperor?"

The imperial doctor hastily checked and said, "This... this... the next official..."

As he said this, the imperial doctor hurriedly got busy again, feeding medicines and giving injections quickly. After a while, Shui Rong finally stabilized and stopped vomiting blood, but he didn't wake up either. His eyes were tight. Shut up, his face became even paler, lying on the bed, motionless.

Wu Zhao hurriedly wiped the cold sweat off Shui Rong's head with a handkerchief, just now when she saw Shui Rong vomit blood, Wu Zhao's hands and feet were almost cold, and she was still trembling slightly at this moment, this was her whole life, no, she had never been so nervous in two lifetimes Pass.

Wu Zhao calmed down, wiped Shui Rong's cold sweat carefully, then asked Xue Yan to wash the handkerchief, and then continued to wipe Shui Rong's sweat.

Wu Zhao looked at Shui Rong, stretched out her hand, and gently traced Shui Rong's eyebrows and eyes. Her voice was slightly hoarse, and she whispered, "When will you wake up?"

Shui Rong didn't respond, and was still lying quietly on the bed, not responding to Wu Zhao at all.

Wu Zhao calmed down slowly, regained his usual composure, pursed his lips slightly, slowly lowered his head, kissed the cheek of Shui Rong, then squinted his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Aren't you going to wake up soon? Don't worry, if you have something, I will definitely... let everyone in Luoshui Kingdom pay for your life."

As Wu Zhao spoke, he slowly raised his head again, gently stroking the water-soluble temples, his eyes were indifferent, his voice rolled twice, and he said softly: "I said... I will do it."
