The capital of Yan is very calm, but ...... The distant border city of Wuyang Town has been in chaos.

A plague broke out in the town of Wuyang.

The epidemic has hit the border cities.

Today's Wuyang Town has been surrounded by large armies, waiting for the final order of the king of the capital of Wuguo.

Wu Yuchen has always been closed in Zhuangzi, as if he can't feel the ups and downs outside.

The whole Zhuangzi was quiet, and the people became cautious when they came and went.

Especially since many people have died outside, and the sound of mourning can be heard every day.

However, Dong Ning had already prepared medicine when there was just a stir outside, and now, no one in this huge village was sick.

Someone secretly knelt down in the direction of Wu Yuchen's room every night.

Slowly, a rumor spread.

Some people say that King Yu is a god in the sky, so where he is, it will be peaceful.

Some people say that King Yu is the reincarnation of the dragon, which is why the whole Zhuangzi is so calm.

……

The news gradually spread from Wuyang Town to the border city.

There are even people who secretly cross the isolation line at night and go to the Zhuangzi where Wu Yuchen lives to burn incense and kowtow.

There were seriously ill people in the border city, and those who were driven out were all concentrated in Wuyang Town.

Now, the capital of Wuguo has heard this rumor, and there are rumors that King Yu is an immortal.

In the palace, a well-maintained hand really gently stroked a white cat, suddenly, her hand forced, touched the cat, the cat's paws, scratched a few red lines on the hand, and then meowed, quickly ran away.

"The Queen!" The maid hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of the queen, gently wiping the queen's injured hand with a clean handkerchief, "The slave maid will go to the imperial doctor." ”

The queen's eyes were cold, "Catch it and kill it!" ”

The cold and piercing voice made the backs of all the people in the palace cold.

Queen Zhang Wan'er looked at the guards kneeling on the ground, "Is King Yu still alive?" ”

"That Zhuangzi is heavily guarded, and his subordinates are ...... No one was able to get in. The guard whispered.

"If this palace is not mistaken, but there is a spy inside?" The queen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, at the beginning, when Wu Yuchen withdrew from Xichen, there was obviously one of their people in that team.

"Back to the queen mother, when she went out to deliver news some time ago, she unfortunately contracted an epidemic and was mistaken for a common person by the guards of the border city...... Killed. ”

"Insufficient success, more than failure!"

The imperial physician soon arrived, and he lightly applied the medicine to the queen's hand, bandaged it, and then went out with the maid to explain some things that needed attention.

Queen Zhang Wan'er curled the corners of her mouth slightly, "In that case, how can you say that there is no one in the Zhuangzi who has an epidemic?" This spy ...... Isn't it just a disease and died? ”

The guard lowered his head and licked his dry lips, "Back to the queen Niangniang, this person, after leaving Zhuangzi, got the plague, and there is no chance to go back to infect others, and now ...... The king has arranged for the imperial doctor to go to the border city to consult with the doctor in the border city. ”

The queen did not speak, but lowered her eyes slightly, and listened quietly.

The guard continued: "Because the epidemic is concentrated in Wuyang Town, Wuyang Town is now only allowed to enter but not leave. The doctor will check every house...... King Yu is there...... It is true that not a single person has contracted the disease. ”

"No one is sick, so he must eat with water." What to do, you can arrange it. Hongu doesn't want to hear any more useless news, understand? The queen's gaze pierced the guards like a sharp sword.

"Yes." The guard quickly walked backwards away.

"Queen Mother!" The crown prince hurriedly pushed the door open.

"What about your rules!" The queen's gaze was a little displeased.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother." The crown prince Wu Haotian knelt in front of the queen in a regular manner.

The queen's chin was lifted slightly, and the ladies withdrew.

"What's the hurry! As the crown prince, you are the first person besides the king and the main palace, what about your demeanor? ”

"The Queen Mother! Now is not the time to talk about this, have you heard that Wu Yuchen is ......?"

"Is it a fairy heirloom?" The queen snorted. ，

Wu Haotian was stunned for a moment, "You...... I've heard about it. ”

"Idiot!" The queen looked at her only son, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, the son is not like a father, nor is it like a mother, so what can I do......

"Queen Mother, don't you know that my father has always favored him, if this kind of message spreads in the capital, wouldn't it be ......" Wu Haotian is worried that his position as the crown prince is unstable! This Wu Yuchen, why can't he die obediently?

"You remember! You are the crown prince of the Wu Kingdom, and you have a great king's edict! No one can shake your position. There is a premise for this, that is, you have to do it yourself! Now, your father and the courtiers have not said anything, but you yourself are jumping down the mountain in a hurry! You remember, as long as you don't lose your morality, no one can shake your position! Because you are my Zhang Wan'er's son! It's the king's son-in-law! Whoever dares to have an idea about your status is a provocation to the ancestral system. The queen's eyes looked coldly at her son, who was kneeling on the ground.

"No one can easily shake your position. After all...... The crown prince's abolition is not something that your father alone can say. The queen beckoned softly to her son, "Come here." ”

Wu Haotian obediently knelt at the queen's feet.

The queen stretched out her hand and gently touched her son's face, "Now that you have passed the age of your establishment, you have several children, don't be so impatient." You have sat on the throne of the crown prince, as long as you don't take the initiative to get up, no one can forcibly pull you away. ”

Wu Haotian looked at the queen's determined expression, and he nodded lightly, "It's my son's mistake." ”

"You have to be as always, more in front of your father and the king to love your brother, now, King Yu is in Wuyang Town, say not close, say far not far. You...... What should I do? The queen's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she looked at Wu Haotian inquiringly.

Wu Haotian can be the crown prince, naturally he is not a real fool, but he is too prone to gains and losses, and when he encounters Wu Yuchen's matter, he will lose his calm.

"Now that the brothers are in the capital, in such a crisis, they should naturally accompany their father and queen mother, King Yu is the younger brother of Lonely, and now he is injured and is in Wuyang Town, where the epidemic broke out, if you arrange someone to take your brother back, otherwise, how can my father rest assured." His eyes looked at the queen with a smile, "Moreover, my younger brother lost his mother when he was young, and now he is ...... Lone was really worried as an elder brother, so he ......"

The queen nodded slightly, "Then which one are you going to ask to pick him up?" ”

"This ......" Wu Haotian thought slightly, "Li Er has a deep love for Brother Wang, and the bloodline of Beihou when he was a child is not as good as ......" Chu Li is the identity of the county lord and Wu Yuchen's fiancée, if she knows the news, she will definitely go to take Wu Yuchen back.

The queen shook her head slightly, "You go." ”

Wu Haotian's pupils shrank, but the epidemic was serious there, let him go...... In case of...... What's wrong with the queen mother?

"You don't have the guts?" The queen looked at her only son with a solemn face, and wanted to get the highest position, and did not dare to set foot in even the slightest danger......

The corners of Wu Haotian's mouth twitched, and the hand in his sleeve clenched into a fist, "Everything is according to the queen mother's orders." ”

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back slightly, leaning back on the cushion, "Sit here." She patted her side.

Wu Haotian hurriedly got up and sat obediently beside the queen, just like being inspected for schoolwork when he was a child.

The queen's hand gently patted her son's shoulder, "You have grown up, you have your own ideas, and you have your own advisors, but you have to think about everything seriously." After all, the queen mother can't always be by your side, the queen mother is old. ”

Wu Haotian looked at the queen anxiously, "The queen mother is not old. ”

"The queen mother asked you to ask for a decree to pick up King Yu, but it was just an expedient measure. As the crown prince of King Wu, you must sit in the capital, and when you speak, you are just showing a gesture of brotherhood, friendship and brotherhood. As the crown prince, you dare to take risks, what will happen to the other brothers? And...... The courtiers and your father will never let you go. Once the news gets out......"

"Li'er will definitely be very anxious." Wu Haotian suddenly realized.

"Yes, Li Er is the orphan of the Marquis of Dingbei and the fiancée of King Yu, she knows that King Yu is in danger, and she will definitely go desperately...... And...... Your father has always suspected that she has the secret army of the Marquis of Dingbei in her hands, so ...... Isn't it also a double win? ”

"Could it be that my father will really let Li'er go? If something happens to Li'er, wouldn't someone say that our royal family is not? Wu Haotian didn't understand.

The queen shook her head slightly, "Fool, don't you want to think about it, your father won't let you go, how can you let a county lord go?" ”

"That ......"

"Once you write a letter to ask for instructions, the news of the epidemic in Wuyang Town can't be hidden, so Li Er knows it, and it's not surprising, isn't it? Woman...... Always willing to go to the soup for the sake of her beloved......" The queen's eyes revealed a cold smile.

Wu Haotian lowered his head, "Then Father can just ...... Take this opportunity to test Li'er, and it will not provoke people's talk. ”

"Not bad." The queen affirmed.

"Dingbei Hou, is there really a secret force? But if this is the case, why didn't Dingbeihou's family show up when they were in trouble? "Wu Haotian really doesn't understand, at the moment of life and death, doesn't this secret team have a savior?

"It is rumored that this is the secret training team of Lao Dingbei Hou, back then, Lao Dingbei Hou didn't like Chu Li's father, but it's a pity that ...... His favorite son died young, and he couldn't, so he passed on the throne to Chu Li's father, knowing that Chu Li was born, Lao Dingbeihou saw that the red mole in Chu Li's ear was exactly the same as the red mole in the ear of his favorite youngest son, so he had a special preference for Chu Li...... "The queen's eyes narrowed slightly, and she seemed to fall into memory.

"So...... Father suspected that Lao Dingbei Hou gave this secret team to Chu Li? Wu Haotian couldn't believe it, Chu Li's character was ...... How good at hiding?

"It may have been given to Chu Li, but ...... She didn't know it herself. The corners of the queen's mouth twitched, "Old Dingbeihou!" It's just a very strange person. ”
