Chapter 328
Meng E came over and asked softly, "Your Majesty is pretending to sleep?"
Han Ruzi nodded and looked at her calmly, waiting for an answer.
"Your Majesty wants to know what I'm feeding?"
"Um."
"I've already said it."
"When?" Han Ruzi asked in surprise. He resisted so much that he didn't fall asleep. At this time, his head sank as if his entire body was upside down.
"Fake sleep means it's effective." Meng E didn't answer.
"What effect?"
"Don't force it, sleep as long as you can." Meng E put her finger on the emperor's forehead and stroked gently. Han Ruzi felt a touch of warmth and closed his eyes involuntarily. Before he could object, everything around him, including All his doubts disappeared, leaving only pure darkness.
"What are you doing?" a voice asked.
Meng E said without looking back, "It's none of your business."
"Your Majesty's business is mine." Zhang Youcai said in a shrill voice, clenching his fists. He knew that he could not beat Meng E, but he could shout.
Meng E was unmoved, still staring at the emperor, observing every detail of his breathing, expression, eye movement, etc. "Your Majesty must leave here."
Zhang Youcai was stunned, his voice softened slightly, "Leave? Where are you going?"
"Go to a safe place. I also read the history of the country. The Great Chu Taizu fled several times alone, and finally he can defeat the enemy and win the world. If he sticks to one city every time, he would have been killed by King Zhao long ago."
Zhang Youcai is not interested in the past more than 100 years ago, but is very concerned about "escape". "There are all Huns outside, and everyone says that people in the city can't fly..."
"I'm going out, you stay here, don't let people disturb His Majesty's rest, this matter is very important, understand?" Meng E's tone suddenly became severe.
"Ming, I understand..." Zhang Youcai was at a loss, but Meng E had already left. Zhang Youcai whispered in confusion, "Your Majesty is ill, and Meng E is not sick, so why are you talking in a different way?"
Zhang Youcai has known Meng E for a long time, but she has never felt like a person in the palace, or even a normal person.
He walked to the chair a few steps and found that the emperor slept soundly, his breathing was not as heavy as a few days ago, and his heart was a little calm, but he was still hesitant. The best time for treatment is being delayed.
Supervisor Liu Jie walked in and asked softly, "How is Your Majesty?"
"It's okay." Zhang Youcai turned around and decided to give Meng E a chance.
"Well, this is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor. It has already been boiled. When His Majesty wakes up, you can serve His Majesty and take the medicine. The imperial doctor said it's fine if it's cold." Liu Jie put the tray and a bowl of medicine on the table.
"Meng E said that Your Majesty doesn't need to take medicine."
"She's not here, and she's not an imperial doctor." Liu Jie said sternly.
Zhang Youcai hurriedly said, "Yes, Duke Liu, I will listen to you."
Liu Jie snorted and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty's illness is too strange and untimely. Now that the city is full of uproar and people are in chaos, His Majesty must get better as soon as possible."
"Has the news spread that His Majesty is sick?"
"Hey, can you hide this kind of thing? It is said that someone has secretly left the city and surrendered to the Huns."
"what……"
"Take care of Your Majesty and be careful with Meng E. Zhang Youcai, as a valet, this is your duty."
"Yes, Duke Liu..." Zhang Youcai almost wanted to tell all about Meng E, but after glancing at the sleeping emperor, he swallowed his words.
I don't know if it was an illusion, or it was true, he felt that the emperor really slept more at ease than the previous days.
Liu Jie didn't see it, and after getting a positive answer, he exited the room with satisfaction.
The emperor never woke up. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Zhang Youcai was cruel and drank the bowl of medicine by himself. The taste was so bitter that he almost wanted to cry.
After waiting for a while, he sent the tray and empty bowl out of the room, and Liu Jie was more satisfied after seeing it.
Three poles in the sun, Meng E did not come back, Donghai King and Cui Teng came, glanced at the emperor, and each found a place to sit down.
Zhang Youcai thought it was strange that these two came late today, and their expressions were not quite right. They deliberately chose the two chairs that were farthest apart and sat down, as if they were making trouble. They were always making troubles, usually to fight for the same position. Will take the initiative to separate.
The emperor's illness, I don't know how much right and wrong will be caused, Zhang Youcai sighed, he can't control others, he can only stay by the emperor's side and provide a little help within his capacity.
"Why isn't Your Majesty awake yet?" Cui Teng couldn't help but ask, the emperor usually wakes up and sleeps for a while, but today he has been lying there motionless.
"I woke up once, but you came late and didn't catch up." Zhang Youcai lied.
Cui Teng yawned. He hadn't slept all night, and now he was really sleepy. He glanced at Donghai Wang opposite, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Did I see you? I didn't notice it myself."
"Hey, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you're just trying to rejoice in misfortune, and you're going to sue me before Your Majesty."
"Why should I complain? This is something that His Majesty must know, and you should take the initiative to explain it."
"Can you blame me?" Cui Teng said angrily, raising his voice unconsciously.
Zhang Youcai said angrily, "Keep your voice down, Your Majesty finally fell asleep."
Cui Teng smiled embarrassedly, got up and waved to King Donghai, motioning him to speak outside.
There was no one else outside, Cui Teng whispered, "What should I do?"
"What should I do?" Donghai Wang pretended to be confused.
"Oh, give me an idea, do I have to beg you?" Cui Teng said eagerly.
"You can only tell the truth, there is no other way."
Cui Teng thought for a while, then waved his fist, gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that the two servants were beaten twice by me. I didn't say I had to kill them. As for escaping and surrendering to the Huns?"
"Who told you to remember what they looked like? Now is such a time again. The king died, the city of Jin was besieged, and the emperor fell ill. Of course, if you can escape, you can escape."
The two servants of the Royal Palace once talked about Miss Cui's family in private. When Cui Teng heard it, he kicked and punched. The two were frightened and thought they would be revenge. .
The maid of Deng's house was the concubine of one of them. She found someone to write a private order to leave the city, and stole the seal of the general, so that the two would go out of the city to see the situation first, and if there was a way to survive, she would be taken out.
In Fan Zangshan's place, she didn't tell the truth, but instead framed her own master.
The King of the East Sea was more cautious, re-examined the maid, and finally figured out the truth.
"It's all your fault. You insisted on letting those two people out of the city. It's all right now. Deng Cui didn't rebel, but he trapped me."
"Deng Cui's lax seal-keeping and unchecked employment are ultimately to blame."
"What about me?" Cui Teng asked in a trembling voice.
"You? You are the initiator."
"The two of them said that about my sister, should I endure it?" Cui Teng was scared and angry.
"Usually it's fine even if you kill them, it's just two servants, they can't escape if they want to, but now there are all the Huns outside, Jincheng is in danger, you still think this is the capital, and you want to play the second son of the Cui family. set?"
Cui Teng was even more afraid and angry, and grabbed the collar of the East Sea King, "You insisted on letting them both out of the city!"
The King of the East Sea sneered, "If it wasn't for me, you would only cause trouble, and now there is a miracle in front of you, you don't thank me, and you want to complain?"
Cui Teng let go of his hand, "Magic? Where did the magic come from?"
"When Your Majesty wakes up, I will tell."
Cui Teng immediately put on a smiley face, "Donghai Wang, good cousin, I know you are the smartest, so don't make fun of me, tell me, is there any benefit in letting those two go out of the city?"
Donghai King coughed reservedly, "I'm thirsty."
Cui Teng poured tea in a hurry, held it in front of the East Sea King, and said apologetically, "It's a bit cold."
Donghai King took a sip, frowned slightly, and returned the teacup to Cui Teng.
Cui Tengruo looked at the East Sea King expectantly, "Tell me."
"say what?"
"What is the so-called miracle?"
"Oh, it's actually very simple. The maid of Deng's house said that the two of them surrendered to the Huns to explore the way. If the Huns don't kill them and give them a reward, they will find a way to take her out too."
"The Huns will kill the Chu people when they see them. They won't let them go, will they?"
"As soon as Jincheng is broken, everyone will be killed, but now is the time to besiege the city. As long as the Huns think about it for a while, they will leave those two people behind and let them lure more people to surrender, so that Jincheng will be broken without attacking. ."
"Ah, wouldn't I have caused more trouble?"
"Idiot, this is also your Majesty's chance to escape from Jincheng."
Cui Teng blinked, not understanding.
"The two servants sincerely surrendered to the Xiongnu, and there must be no flaws. They still don't know that the maid was arrested, and they don't know that the facts are exposed. When they send a signal, whoever can leave the city will not be under our control?"
Cui Teng was shocked and thought for a while, "This, this is too risky, in case His Majesty is recognized..."
"So someone has to find the way for His Majesty, go out of the city first, and after ensuring safety, tell the Huns that they can lead more people to surrender..."
Cui Teng gritted his teeth, "I went to explore the way, and I also recognized that I died at the hands of the Huns."
"The two servants recognize you." Donghai King reminded.
"Also, who should be sent out of the city to explore the way?"
"Don't worry, there are still many loopholes in this plan, and it has to be improved slowly." The King of the East Sea wanted to talk about himself, but he didn't want to appear too eager to avoid suspicion.
He simply admires himself a little. He came up with this plan in such a short time. If he can really escape from Jincheng... The King of the East Sea is heartbroken. As long as he can return to the capital, the disaster of Da Chu is his luck. As for how to realize it, more needs to be done. many designs.
More likely to die at the hands of the Huns, the East Sea King would rather take the risk.
"Why is Your Majesty still awake?" Cui Teng was a little anxious.
"Only the imperial hospital in the capital can detoxify His Majesty, so His Majesty must leave Jincheng as soon as possible, let's not stay here, hurry up and improve the plan."
"Aren't you going to tell your majesty?"
"Let's talk about it with confidence, don't let Your Majesty be happy."
"That's right." Cui Teng was already convinced at this time, and walked out behind the King of the East Sea.
Soon after the afternoon, Han Ruzi finally woke up, his face was pale, not as bright as usual, and he didn't sit up immediately. He stared blankly for a while with his eyes open, and said, "Is there anything to eat?"
When Zhang Youcai heard the voice, he noticed that the emperor was awake, and hurriedly said: "There is porridge and pickles, it's already cold, I'll ask someone to make another."
"No, it's good to be cool."
Han Ruzi ate the whole bowl of cold porridge, and he was still not satisfied, but he didn't want any more, so he turned to look, "Where's Meng E?"
"She went out and didn't say where to go."
Han Ruzi sighed, vaguely remembering that he had a conversation with Meng E, but can't remember the specific content, but remember one thing, Meng E once said when he was in Pengcheng, to prepare a medicine to help him practice internal skills .
