Chapter 129： wake

There was an accident on the way back, but fortunately, Yang Dejin and the others still brought back the lugweed root. After the Tai Hospital got the lugweed root, they quickly treated it according to the method prescribed by the doctor Hang Xiao, who went through countless experiments , finally concocted the formula with the best medicinal effect.

At first, half an hour after taking the medicine for Li Zichou, the person who had been lying quietly woke up suddenly, clutching her chest in pain and vomiting blood, the bedding, the carpet, and her own clothes were all stained. Get black and red.

Bai Qingyang was terrified, so he sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to call Miss Hang, fearing that Li Zichou would not be able to hold on anymore. After seeing it, the medical officer Hang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, saying that the medicine is effective and the queen will gradually get better.

And Li Zifu fell on the bed and fell into a coma after vomiting blood, her body was too weak.

Although he vomited poisonous blood and was out of danger, the toxins in his body still remained, and he could only force them out of the body little by little through decoction. Although the effect was slow, Li Zifu's complexion did improve, and his pulse became clearer some.

The medical officer told him that Li Zifu's nutrition needs to be supplemented slowly, as the weather is getting colder and colder, the heating should not be sloppy. If the queen was not tortured to death by Wolf's Poison, but was starved to death or frozen to death, that would be really ridiculous.

All that others can do is to wait patiently.

When Li Zishou woke up, the earth dragon had already ignited in the bedroom. She lay on the couch and saw the dome of Tianshu Palace after a long absence. Her sluggish thinking was struggling. It took her a while to realize which world this was. .

Although the consciousness has been restored, the body does not seem to be fully awakened, and the limbs have no feeling or strength.

How long has she been asleep?

As usual, Lu Xiaoying walked into the hall with the freshly brewed medicine, walked around the screen and put down the soup, but when she turned around, she found that Li Zichou was staring at the bed curtain in a daze with his eyes wide open.

Lu Xiaoying was taken aback, and hurried over to ask her how she was.

"Your Majesty, when did you wake up? Is it okay? Is there any discomfort?"

Li Zichou's thoughts were interrupted. She turned her head slightly to look at her personal maid, opened her mouth, and started coughing violently before she could say anything.

She hadn't uttered a sound for a long time, her throat was so harsh, her throat seemed to be rusted, and she couldn't speak for a while.

Lu Xiaoying hurriedly found water for someone to drink, but the water in the teapot was cold, so she had to bring the bowl of dark brown medicine over and let it cool down before handing it to Li Zizhi.

Li Zichou didn't think too much about it, and she didn't have much strength in her body, so she took a few big mouthfuls of the bowl handed over by the other party, but when the chaotic and slightly spicy formula slipped down her throat, she almost rolled her eyes and was about to faint again .

"Uh woo...cough! Cough cough...cough!!"

Lu Xiaoying held the bowl that was pushed back into her arms, and looked at it helplessly: Why is your Majesty coughing more? ?

While retching, Li Zichou looked at the bowl of soup with lingering fears: "Good...it smells like sewer..."

She thought she almost answered Cthulhu's call and was about to be taken to the eternal mansion, R'lyeh.

Stimulated by the dark soup, Li Zichou felt that his senses had quickly returned to a near-normal level, and even his body felt strong.

"Your Majesty, how are you feeling? Are you better?"

"Well, much better." Li Zichou replied, "This is..."

Lu Xiaoying: "Your Majesty, you have been poisoned and have been lying down for quite a while."

"Really..." Li Zichou murmured.

She was not surprised, because she had guessed it on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, the pain that swept through the whole body neither came from the muscles and bones, nor stayed in the flesh, but a pain that screamed from every nerve ending.

In addition to infection and inflammation, the most likely cause of neuralgia is poisoning.

"Since you are awake, Your Majesty, I have to tell everyone the good news quickly, and ask Doctor Hang to show you again."

As Lu Xiaoying said, she was about to leave the palace gate, but Li Zichou hurriedly called her to stop.

"Where is Yang Dejin?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu is estimated to be in Zhongshu Province, and he is said to be supervising the work of the Sheren."

Li Zifu snorted, presumably because Yang Dejin was worried about those officials, fearing that something might happen, so she ran to watch in person.

"What about the queen?"

"Your Majesty is also busy with court affairs. During the time your Majesty was in a coma, it was the Empress Empress who was acting as regent and supervising the country for you."

Li Zichou breathed a sigh of relief: "Where is she, I want to meet her."

For some reason, I especially wanted to see Bai Qingyang.

Lu Xiaoying hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, you just woke up, so let's take care of your body first. And right now, the empress is busy, so she might not be able to get out to see you, after all, the front line..."

"Frontline?" Li Zichou grasped the word keenly.

The war started? So fast?

Lu Xiaoying closed her mouth, realized that she had slipped her tongue, sighed again a few seconds later, and said truthfully: "Yes, the people of the prairie are fighting with us. Never let up."

During the day, she would either go to court in the Hall of Liangyi, or summon the ministers to discuss affairs in the Taiji Hall. Only after finishing all the work of the day at night, would she have time to come to Tianshu Palace to see Li Zishou.

Lu Xiaoying: "I'm afraid I'll have to wait until dark if I want to invite my mother over."

"Then I will go find her."

"That's even worse. It's cold outside. Your Majesty, you just recovered from a serious illness, and you can't stand the wind."

"My body is not that weak. I am very healthy. If you don't believe me, take a look." After speaking, as if to prove it, she moved her shoulders and swung her arms.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoying didn't give the Empress any face at all, and said indifferently: "Yes, healthy, someone told me that you are also fooling your empress and His Royal Highness in this way."

Li Zishou: "..."

She is at the end of her rope.

Lu Xiaoying was right to be worried. She had indeed concealed her injuries many times, which made people around her worry. It is normal for them to focus on her as a repeat offender.

But she really didn't hold back this time!

"I just want to visit her and not disturb her work." Li Zichou begged her subordinate again.

"Your Majesty said that your physical condition is the most important thing, so the slaves must follow you every step of the way."

"Are you listening to her or to me?! Who is your employer?!" Li Zichou was anxious.

Lu Xiaoying actually really thought about this question, and then replied: "Isn't it the same for everyone?"

Both of them are her bosses.

Li Zichou suddenly remembered that this person was a double senior agent who came to be his health steward after being instigated by Bai Qingyang, and he couldn't help but feel a little headache.

This is how to do?

"If you insist on seeing her now, do you miss the empress so much?" Lu Xiaoying asked casually.

Li Zichou paused after hearing this, and realized how abnormal her behavior was, she just felt empty in her heart.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, there were still many things waiting for her to deal with. Before she had time to comfort Bai Qingyang, she lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

The aftertaste of the dream was still affecting her. Although she could no longer remember those grotesque scenes, the inexplicable sadness in her heart could not be relieved for a long time.

Why, she just felt that she should go to see her right away, whether it was for Bai Qingyang or for herself.

"Your Majesty... Didn't I just stop you from seeing the Empress? Why are you crying..."

"Eh?" After Lu Xiaoying said this, Li Zichou realized that tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

What's going on, she obviously...

Li Zichou covered his eyes with the inside of his wrist, and said persistently, "I want to see her."

Seeing that something was wrong with the queen, Lu Xiaoying could only compromise after struggling for a while: "Then I will be with you."

The bowl of soup that made people lose their san value was unbearable. Li Zichou would never touch it again, but Lu Xiaoying didn't force it anymore, it was cold anyway.

Lu Xiaoying found a warm cotton coat for Li Zichou, and asked her to tighten the neckline, then put on a fox fur, and finally tie a cloak to keep out the wind.

Even though she was wrapped so tightly, when Li Zichou went out, the biting cold air suddenly sucked into her lungs, which still made her cough a few times.

"Your Majesty, it really is too reluctant..."

"It's okay, I'm just not used to it."

The earth dragon is burning in the Tianshu Palace, and the hall is very warm. I really didn't expect it to be so cold outside. Although it hasn't snowed yet, the ground is wet. It probably rained not long ago, and the humidity in the air is too high , It's really choking to be blown by the cold wind this day.

It's winter, how long did she sleep...

Li Zichou didn't want to disturb other people in the palace, so he didn't take the chariot. Tianshu Palace is not far from Taiji Hall, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk there.

But there were quite a few palace people who met along the way, and their first reaction when they saw Li Zifu was to be taken aback for a moment, and then they saw the empress in trepidation. There were even those who were not very clever, did not recognize the Empress, and saluted Lu Xiaoying first.

Li Zifu didn't care about these things, so Lu Xiaoying just reprimanded the little **** and let him go.

Bai Qingyang was receiving his officials in the main hall of the Tai Chi Hall, when the guards guarding the gate saw Li Zichou coming, they hurriedly wanted to report, but they were stopped by her.

Li Zichou didn't rush in, but went to the side hall. From the side door there, he could see the situation inside the main hall.

Bai Qingyang didn't wear a skirt hairpin, she was dressed in a heavy crimson purple winter dress, her usual elegant and elegant demeanor became dignified and stable, at this moment she was living at the head of the hall.

"The battle report from the front line shows that the Diela Department and our army are in a stalemate. Youzhou has been besieged for several days, and the food and grass in the city will be exhausted."

"How is the situation in Yongzhou and Liangzhou?"

"We can still deal with it, but we don't have the energy to support Youzhou."

"His Royal Highness, Rong Bing, Youzhou is in danger, and we should send troops north as soon as possible to relieve the predicament of Youzhou."

"Chang Shi thinks, which is the most suitable place for the palace to mobilize troops?"

"In my humble opinion, the northwestern defenders have experienced many battles, and they are under the command of Mr. Zhong. Sending them to help the three states in the north will definitely prevent the prairie people from breaking through the city."

Bai Qingyang shook his head, as if he was not very satisfied with Chang Shi's answer, and asked another person, "Shaoqing, tell me."

The person who was clicked felt a little bit in his heart, and walked out of the ranks slowly.

"Reporting to Madam, I believe that the fall of Youzhou is a foregone conclusion, and the defenders should retreat in time, and take back the city after they regain their strength."

This kind of speech caused dissatisfaction among many colleagues, and Wei Weisi Shaoqing became the target of public criticism.

"Master Shaoqing, you want to abandon the city and run away!"

"Take back the city? You put it lightly, Shuobei is a rebellion, once the defenders retreat, blood will flow into rivers in Youzhou City."

"Even if we can take back the city, it will be an empty city!"

"A coward who is as timid as a mouse! Fortunately, I am not in the army, otherwise I will serve you more or less in military law!"

Wei Wei Si Shaoqing remained silent, he also knew that what he said just now was tantamount to branding himself a deserter.

The ministers in the center of the hall were arguing endlessly, but they still failed to come up with a feasible solution. Zhou Huaijin glanced at the high position. Although Bai Qingyang didn't make a sound to stop him, his brows showed boredom and impatience, so he scolded loudly:

"Quiet! You are so noisy, you are in vain as an official of the court!"

Only then did the hall become quiet, and the civil and military officials lowered their heads, waiting for the queen regent to speak.

The author has something to say:

Yang Dejin: So what is Xie Zhi? Three senior agents?

Xie Zhi: This stalk is hard to pass, right?
