The truce of the three kingdoms, each retreated into the border to recuperate and rectify, what is worrying is that this time only Daqi is the emperor's personal expedition, and now whether the emperor of Daqi is infected has become the biggest mystery and temptation. However, the three kingdoms seem to have drawn an enchantment from heaven, and neither side is allowed to trespass, whether it is the Liang State or the Zanxi people, but if they want to take the opportunity to be unfavorable to the Great Qi, as soon as they get out of their borders, a large number of people and horses will be infected and even die, and they will be defeated without a fight.

After many negotiations, the three kingdoms reached a truce agreement, which was also the first contract signed with the Liang State and the Zanxi people since the establishment of the Great Qi State. In order to control the plague and prevent it from spreading to the country, after the agreement was signed, the army remained in Xiping Province and did not retreat, and the emperor did not appear in front of people for several days, and there were many rumors.

In fact, Xiang Ye did fall ill, the sturdy man had a high fever for three days and did not wake up, and the soldiers were loyal to the emperor's side, which showed that he showed no signs of recovery, and the emperor's life affected the future of the entire Great Qi Kingdom.

The person who received the letter was the queen.

At this time, it was late March, Min'er's belly had already been revealed, she stood in front of the palace door to read the secret letter, and when she saw the emperor's words that his life might not be long, her feet trembled, if she hadn't stood with her teeth on the door frame, she would have to fall down with the child in her belly. When there were rumors a few days ago, she was still standing, she only believed in Xiang Ye's words alone, the emperor didn't speak, and she would never listen to rumors.

Only today did I understand that it was not the emperor who did not speak, but the seriously ill who could not speak. The secret letter was sent to the capital, even if it was 800 miles expedited, it would take four or five days, and it would be nearly ten days before and after, did Xiang Ye wake up?

"Mother?" Qingya's face was solemn, and she looked at the queen's face, she knew that things were not good, the legend that the border plague was raging, it was indeed true, and if the queen could be so out of shape, the emperor would definitely be involved.

Min'er felt as if her heart had been taken away, because she had married a god-like man, she had already taken it for granted that she had leaned on him, even if she still had the freedom to pursue her life ideals, at least until this moment, Xiang Ye was all she had.

But if the emperor dies, the world she worked so hard to build with her beloved will collapse. Did he leave the child in his womb for himself, and he was going to leave without hesitation?

"Mother?" Qingya was worried.

"Qingya ......" Min'er wanted to cry, but she held back, the emperor's life and death were uncertain, she couldn't cry, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she had to hold on to the last moment.

The pot-bellied person was helped to sit back in the hall, Min'er held the secret letter tightly in his hand, the letter had the emperor's imperial seal, it was obviously not a fake, and the letter also made it clear that the emperor was unconscious, so they used the emperor's imperial seal to prove the authenticity. It was also the emperor who made it clear to them when he went on the expedition that whenever something happened, when the emperor could not wake up, the first person to inform was the queen.

Qingya sent the medicine to stabilize the fetus, and asked Min'er to take it, Min'er shook her head and pushed it away, and after taking a deep breath, she instructed Qingya: "Please come to see me." ”

"Are you going to tell the lady?" Qingya asked.

"If that day really comes, in fact, I don't want to care about anything, even if the sky falls, it has nothing to do with me." Min'er had tears in her eyes, "But I can't, he told me, everything here is handed over to me, he left all the military power to me, although he must not have expected this day, but to go to war, who doesn't put his head in his hands, he knows very well in his heart." I can't let him down, and if anything, even if I have to go with him, I have to hold the last moment for him. ”

Qingya pursed her lips and didn't dare to cry, but she felt so sorry for the queen, she had never seen her so desperate when she was strong, the stronger she was, the more distressing it was, did the emperor really want to leave his mother?

But right now, no matter how much you think about it, it won't help, unless the emperor returns safely, otherwise be strong and face all the chaos that may occur, and the only way out at this time. Qingya quickly cheered up and went to Anle Palace to invite Concubine Shu, but when she met Her Royal Highness the Second Highness who was pestering her mother, she refused to let Concubine Shu go no matter what, so Qingya made the decision and said: "Niangniang, it is better to take Your Royal Highness to Shangyang Hall with you, the queen mother already loves Her Royal Highness." ”

Concubine Shu was embarrassed, and she was reluctant to let her son cry, so she reluctantly agreed.

When Feng'er came to the queen, there were still tears on her little face, Min'er gently wiped it off for him, and let Qingya and the palace maids play in front of the door, and Concubine Shu said helplessly on the side: "Since Hao'er was born, this child's temper has become worse and worse, and he pesters the concubine every day and doesn't let go, and even when he comes to see you, he has to take him." ”

Min'er said: "How did he know that if he has an extra brother, his mother will be divided by half, he is still young, you should accompany him more." ”

"Yes." Concubine Shu responded, but she noticed the strangeness of the queen's aura today, she also heard the rumors a few days ago, and couldn't help but feel worried in her heart, and asked tentatively, "Niangniang summoned the concubine, I don't know what the important thing is?" ”

Min'er said: "I received a secret letter from the border, the emperor is seriously ill and in a coma, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Concubine Shu was shocked, tears poured out instantly, the whole person was soaked in sadness, and she sat down even weaker, as if the emperor had left their mother and son at this moment, as if the mother and son were orphans and widows.

"I hope the emperor can return safely, you must think the same, but at the moment we can't passively wait for the news, no matter what the final result is, we must cheer up and keep the emperor's country." Min'er looked at Concubine Shu calmly, and was not even moved by her crying and sadness, she said steadily, "Feng'er is the elder, he should inherit the unification, the child in my womb is still a few months old, and I don't know if it is a man or a woman, whether the emperor can last until more than three months later, you and I don't know." In case the emperor unfortunately dies, you and I will jointly support Feng'er to succeed to the throne, and then listen to the government and turn things around with the ministers. ”

Concubine Shu was already in tears, and she didn't know how much she heard these words, she was convulsive and crying very sadly, and suddenly heard the queen scolding her: "What are you crying about, did you hear what I said?" ”

A man ten years younger than herself was asking herself majestically, and the scattered soul of the concubine returned to her place tremblingly, and she stiffly agreed: "Yes, the concubine heard." ”

Min'er sighed lightly and reached out to support Concubine Shu, who was originally pregnant with Liujia, and Concubine Shu took the initiative to stand up.

The hands of the two were folded together, Concubine Shu couldn't help crying again, Min'er said to her clearly: "Once Feng'er is supported to succeed to the throne, even if I give birth to the prince, I will not change this decision, you don't have to be double-minded, let alone suspicious, at this time we don't work together, we can only wait for the country to change hands." The Zhao clan has not been wiped out, the remnants are still alive in the world, they are eyeing back the imperial power, and the neighbors and enemies are also coveting my great country, we are in chaos, and everything is over. ”

Concubine Shu cried so hard that she could only say the word "yes", and Min'er asked her sternly, "Do you really understand?" ”

But it provoked Concubine Shu to hide her face and howl, and knelt on the ground fragily: "The emperor doesn't want to die, don't die......"

Min'er looked down at this woman, she knew that she couldn't let go of her hands, if there was really that day, she had to endure her grief and wait for Feng'er to grow up, otherwise she would leave the country to Concubine Shu, and Daqi would be over.

This matter is still a secret, and it must not be publicized, and the Queen Mother must not be alarmed, otherwise the old lady will be ill and troublesome, Min'er repeatedly told Concubine Shu to be stable, if she can't hide her face, she will guard Feng'er in Anle Palace these days and don't go out.

When parting, Min'er said: "The emperor is the emperor of heaven, he will not leave us so easily, I tell you, just do the worst, until the last moment, I will never give up." ”

Concubine Shu bit her lip, almost bleeding, and nodded stiffly: "Concubine listen to you." ”

When the person left, Min'er was also tired, almost slumped on the beauty couch, and it was the child in her womb who rolled for a while, giving her the belief in life. Xiang Ye hasn't glanced at their child yet, how can he die, he will never die.

For the safety of the queen's mother and son, Qingya took the initiative to invite Imperial Physician Chen, but fortunately, the mother and son were fine, and Imperial Physician Chen asked the queen not to be overjoyed and sad.

Min'er asked about the border plague, and Imperial Physician Chen had already heard about it, and said: "It should be that there is something wrong with the local water source, so that the grass, trees, people and animals are affected, if the source of the epidemic can be found, it will not be difficult to control, as far as the news comes now, it may be dysentery, or it may be other diseases, the minister is not in the local area, and he dare not say anything." ”

"Will there be hope for the emperor?" Min'er asked.

"Minister......

"Send you now, will you?"

"The minister is ordered to take care of the mother and son, and he must not leave you without the emperor's order."

Min'er's lips trembled slightly, and she almost burst into tears when she heard this, but she endured it, took a deep breath and ordered: "Send someone to be ready to deal with the affairs in the Longevity Palace at any time, once something happens, the Queen Mother must be the first to fall." ”

Min'er instructed Qingya: "Send the imperial doctor out and invite Song Yuan to see me." ”

At the same time, the soldiers on the border of Xiping Province rode horses and reported to the general that the envoys of the Liang State asked to see them, and several generals brought swords and guns to meet each other, but they did not want the Liang State to come to the envoys, but they sent good medicine to treat the epidemic, saying that half of his Liang ** team had recovered, and they were specially sent to the soldiers of Daqi.

It is difficult to distinguish the truth of the medicine, but at the moment the situation in the army is not optimistic, only the dead horse is a live horse doctor, several generals combined, decided to use soldiers to test the medicine, if it is effective, and then give it to the emperor.
