[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 11 Change the sky 5

With His Majesty Li Er's decree, the vassal king had to turn around and return to the fiefdom before entering the capital.

The vassal princes who have already arrived in Chang'an thought they had taken the lead, but now they can only admit that they are unlucky, pack up their bags and leave in desperation.

Before leaving, he had to say goodbye to Prince Li Zhi.

To be honest, these brothers and uncles who came from the foreign domain are all older than Li Zhi, and the foreign domain has been domineering for many years.

But the situation is stronger than others. Seeing that such a soft and soft face is about to become their immediate boss, the days of kowtowing and kneeling will be long...

I don't know how many people are angry about this.

Li Zhi is not in the mood to care what these uncles and brothers are thinking, he has too many facts to do now...

His Majesty Li Er ran to Cuiwei Palace to recuperate, but left a big mess for his son...

The first thing is to deal with those people who have come to Taiji Palace to show their filial piety.

Previously, when His Majesty Li Er lived in the Ganlu Palace, every day the concubines and the princes and daughters of the palace had to come to order in order.

Now that His Majesty Li Er has run away without taking anyone with him, these people should quit!

His Royal Highness had to come forward to appease and explain one by one, to ensure that no one was too hotheaded to go up the mountain to make trouble with his father...

Second, government affairs should not be delayed.

At the end of last year, the Tang army destroyed the country of Kucha and captured all the kings of his family. Just in time for this spring to offer prisoners to the Taimiao, it shocked the countries of the Western Regions!His Majesty Li Er took advantage of the situation to increase the Yaochi Dudu Mansion and Fengzhou Dudu Mansion to control the regime in the Western Regions.

As a result, as soon as the chiefs of the two governments were selected, His Majesty Li Er couldn't hold on and collapsed, leaving a big mess to deal with...

Furthermore, since last winter, there has been no rain in the Yongzhou area, and it is about to turn into a spring drought. The government needs to prepare for the drought, and the people need to appease their emotions...

There were dozens of such things, and Li Zhi worked overtime with several ministers in the Zhengshitang for several days before rushing to Cuiwei Palace.

Imperial Physician Sun has been waiting in full force in Cuiwei Palace for a long time. Seeing His Royal Highness is like seeing a long-lost relative, and he immediately grabs someone...

It's still a sentence: I can't afford to be hurt when I meet a patient who doesn't follow the doctor's advice!

His Majesty Li Er was a fierce and ruthless master in his early years. He never relented in killing people in battle, and he especially liked to show off, leading the way...

As a result, at a young age, it caused a lot of hidden injuries and excessive wear and tear; after becoming an emperor in middle age, he did not pay attention to maintenance, had excessive drinking, and because of face problems, he often suppressed his anger, and took pills to suppress wind diseases forcibly. As a result, the remaining energy is doubled and exhausted...

Physician Sun originally wanted to use acupuncture and moxibustion plus diet therapy to slowly restore the lost energy of His Majesty Li Er, and then study the matter of getting rid of erysipelas—this way, at least it can be delayed for a while.

Who knows, something happened to His Majesty Li Er at this critical time!

Unfortunately, the old man suffered from dysentery not long after he went up the mountain. He couldn't absorb any nutrition from whatever he ate.

Grandpa Sun was so worried that he pulled out his hair and beard...

"Is there really no other way?" Li Zhi's voice trembled a little, his hands clenched into fists. "Didn't you say you could last for a few more months?!"

"The old man said that at the time, and he needed the cooperation of a saint. Now..." Mr. Sun stroked his beard and shook his head, "I'm afraid the old man is powerless..."

"..." Li Zhi couldn't help but turn red when he heard the words, and couldn't say a word.

Grandpa Sun didn't know how to comfort this young man who was about to become No.1 in the empire, so he could only pat him on the shoulder and sighed: "For the rest of the day, the prince will serve the saint well..."

This is to let Li Zhi listen to the fate and human affairs...

Li Zhi couldn't bear to listen any more, he walked around Taihe Doctor Sun with his head down and walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

It was dark in the sleeping hall, Wang's servants and Cui's servants were guarding the entrance of the hall, behind them were layers of curtains...

"Prince..." Seeing Li Zhi coming, the two hurriedly greeted him softly...

"Father... is he still asleep?" Li Zhi tried his best to put away his sad face, and asked softly as he walked in.

"The sage is taking medicine..." Cui Neishi followed behind Li Zhi step by step, and said in a low voice, "The sage has been sleeping less in the past few days, and the imperial doctor Sun has also changed the prescription. He has to cook three soups every day... ..."

Hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't help being surprised, his father couldn't do without Cui and Wang, how could he send them outside and let others serve them?

"Who is serving the saint now?"

Wang's servant hurriedly said: "It's not someone else, it's Wu...it's Ah Mei..." Wu Xu is about to return to the human affairs, although everyone has already understood it, but seeing His Majesty Li Er like this, I'm afraid this matter can't be done ...

Wang's servant remained cautious and did not change his words.

When Li Zhi heard that it was Wu Xu, his footsteps became more and more...

Entering the room, the three found that Wu Xu had just waited for Li Shimin to drink the medicine and fall asleep, and was carefully retreating...

His Majesty Li Er fell asleep face down, motionless, with a dead air all over his body...

Holding a tray of lacquer bowls in her hand, Wu Xu fixed her eyes on His Majesty Li Er on the couch, and tiptoed towards the door.

There was once a little palace man who accidentally made a sound when he was leaving, which alarmed His Majesty Li Er who had just fallen asleep, but was dragged out immediately and killed with a stick...

Wu Xu did not dare to repeat the same mistakes.

Since going to Cuiwei Palace, Wu Xu can't sleep well every day, and she has lost a lot of weight......

Not only because this is her sad place, but also because His Majesty Li Er suddenly became moody...

Wu Xu saw with her own eyes that there were already four small palace servants who were executed with a stick just because of a small mistake.

It's only been a few days since she followed Zhongnanshan, the little palace staff who helped her in the palace has already changed two batches, is there any reason!

Nowadays, the people of Cuiwei Palace are all trembling, and they regard serving His Majesty Li Er's errands as death...

Wu Xu didn't want to see these little girls being slaughtered innocently, so she took the initiative to take care of Li Shimin's errand, and did not give anyone else the medicine and medicine.

Only then did the people in the Xinggong escaped unharmed...

After all, Wu Xu had been a maid for a while, so she was quite clear about Li Shimin's habits, and she was quite accommodating Li Shimin's way of doing things, and she was very cautious these days, and finally survived until Li Zhi came.

"Ah! Prince?!" Wu Xu retreated to the door, almost bumping into Li Zhi.

With a pale face, she protected the lacquered bowl on the tray, then carefully glanced at the inner hall, and after seeing that His Majesty Li Er hadn't been disturbed, she gestured to Li Zhi to "go out and talk"...

Li Zhi hurriedly left the bedroom, and with a wink, let Cui and Wang go in to guard his father.

"Ah Wu..." Li Zhi came out to the garden of the back hall, met Wu Xu face to face, and couldn't help shouting: "Why are you so thin?"

As soon as Wu Xu heard Li Zhi call her 'A Wu', her little face turned pale again, she dropped the tray, and went up to cover the young man's mouth.

"Your name is Mao..."

Now that His Majesty Li Er is in a state of nervousness, he will relegate this one and assign that one if he has nothing to do. Even Xue Wanche, the famous general Xue Wanche who finally came back from Quanxu Quanwei in Liaodong, was dismissed by him with a small excuse!Veterans like Li Jing and Li Shiji were so frightened that they couldn't get out of bed!

Li Xiaojiu yelling like this, if it reminds him of bad associations, it will be terrible!

Do you think it's easy for her to survive to this day?

As soon as Li Zhi grabbed Wu Xu's hand, he lowered his voice as she wished, and said, "If you endure it for a few more days, I will find a way to get Dad to let you go back to Chang'an..."

"But, the sage said that I will be promoted when I return to Chang'an..." Wu Xu died of worry.

"Don't worry, I have my own way!" Li Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Wu Xu was really worried about this matter.

In fact, his father had already written an imperial edict to be promoted to Xu Huicao, but he hadn't started writing the edict to confer Wu Xu...

It is not a problem to intercept it!

"Then... please Jiulang..." Wu Xu sighed, and now, if she doesn't believe in Li Zhi, who else can she trust?

" Between you and me, why bother to see each other like this~~~~~~" The young man squeezed Wu Xu's palm with a smile, and then let it go in a gentlemanly manner.

Wu Xu gave him a blank look, and was about to ask him about little sister Xu and the others, but saw Wang's servant rushing over, saying that His Majesty Li Er wanted to see him.

"Awu, I will look for you later~~~~~~" Li Zhi whispered a word in Wu Xu's ear, and hurried to the bedroom with the king's servant.

That day, His Majesty Li Er stayed in Li Zhi's bedroom and talked for a long time.

Wu Xu sent the decoction twice, but Cui Neishi stopped them both times.

The next two meals were sent to meet the same fate.

Wu Xu looked worriedly into the depths of the bedroom...

Seeing the sun gradually slanting to the west, and then disappearing into the western mountains, Li Zhicai walked out slowly...

The young man's face was pale, his eyes were blank and out of focus, until Wu Xu called him softly, and then gradually came back to his senses...

"Prince, are you okay?"

Li Zhi shook his head, and said to the royal attendant: "Please trouble Wang Weng to send a message back to Chang'an immediately, please come to the palace immediately, daddy, I'm afraid..." After speaking of the last few words, the young man choked up so hard that he didn't know How to proceed.

The faces of Wang's servant and Cui's servant became extremely ugly.

"Old slave, let's go!" The former was shocked, and quickly recovered, accepting Li Zhi's order and rushing to Chang'an...

The latter said to Li Zhi, "The old slave is going to see the saint", and hurried to the bedroom.

Wu Xu hasn't recovered from the shock yet...

Of course, she also saw that His Majesty Li Er was very abnormal today, but she didn't expect him to jump to the step of "returning to the light" all of a sudden!

"How could this be..." Even though she had hoped for a long time ago that His Majesty Li Er would die quickly so that he could escape from the palace and farm, but when this day really came, Wu Xu was also a little confused...

The author has something to say: Grandpa Sun: Young man, your father is dying. From today on, let him eat whatever he wants...

Li Xiaojiu: Is it okay to eat Jindan?

Grandpa Sun: ...
