Meng E walked over and asked softly: "Your Majesty is pretending to be asleep?"

Han Ruzi nodded, looked at her calmly, waiting for an answer.★★

"Your Majesty wants to know what I feed?"

"Um."

"I've said it."

"When?" Han Ruzi asked in surprise. He held back and did not fall asleep. At this time, his head was as though his whole body was upside down.

"Pretending to be asleep means that there is a effect." Meng E did not answer.

“What effect?”

"Don't force yourself, just sleep if you can." Meng E put her finger on the emperor's forehead and gently stroked it. Han Ruzi felt a hint of warmth, and her eyes closed involuntarily. Before he could object, everything around him, along with his suspicion, disappeared, leaving only pure darkness.

"What are you doing?" a voice asked.

Meng E said without looking back: "It's not your business."

"Your Majesty's business is mine." Zhang Youcai said with a sharp 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, eyeball rotation, etc., "Your Majesty must leave here."

Zhang Youcai was stunned, his voice eased slightly, "Leave? Where to go?"

"I also read the national history when I went to a safe place. The Emperor Taizu of the Great Chu fled several times and finally defeated the enemy and captured the world. If he had defended a city every time, he would have been killed by King Zhao long ago."

Zhang Youcai was not interested in the past more than a hundred years ago, and was very concerned about "escape". "There were all Huns outside, and everyone said that people in the city could not fly..."

"I'll go out and stay here, don't let anyone disturb His Majesty's rest. This matter is very important, do you understand?" Meng E's tone suddenly became stern.

"Ming, understand..." Zhang Youcai was confused, but Meng E had already left. Zhang Youcai whispered in confusion: "Your Majesty is sick because Meng E is not sick, so why is he talking so chaotic?"

Zhang Youcai had known Meng E for a long time, but he never felt that she was like a person in the palace, or even a normal person.

He walked to the chair a few steps and found that the emperor was sleeping sweetly, his breathing was not as heavy as he had been a few days ago. He felt a little calm, but he was still hesitant. He felt that Meng E really had a solution, and that he was deceived and was delaying the best time for treatment.

Liu Jie, the chief supervisor of the Central Secretary, 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 physician. It has been boiled. When His Majesty wakes up, you will serve His Majesty to take the medicine. The imperial physician said it's okay if it's cold." Liu Jie put the tray and a bowl of medicine on the table.

"Meng E said that Your Majesty does not need to take medicine."

"She is not here, and she is not an imperial physician, either." Liu Jie said sternly.

Zhang Youcai hurriedly said, "Yes, Mr. Liu, I'll listen to you."

Liu Jie nodded and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty's illness is too strange and too bad. Now the city is in full swing and people are in chaos. Your Majesty must get better as soon as possible."

"Have you spread the news that Your Majesty is sick?"

"Hey, can this kind of thing be hidden? It is said that someone has secretly left the city and surrendered to the Huns."

"ah……"

"Be careful to take care of Your Majesty, be careful about Meng E. Zhang Youcai, as a close servant, is your duty."

"Yes, Mr. Liu..." Zhang Youcai almost told Meng E everything, but he glanced at the sleeping emperor and swallowed the words back.

I don’t know if it was an illusion or if it was true, but he felt that the emperor was indeed sleeping more steadily than before.

Liu Jie didn't see it, and after receiving a positive answer, he left the room with satisfaction.

The emperor had not woken up. After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Zhang Youcai made up his mind and drank the bowl of medicine 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. Liu Jie was even more satisfied after seeing it.

It was noon and Meng E didn't come back. King Donghai and Cui Teng came. They glanced at the emperor and found a place to sit down.

Zhang Youcai felt strange. The two of them came late today and looked not right. They deliberately chose the two chairs that were the farthest apart to sit down. They always had a quarrel, usually in order to compete for the same position, and rarely separated on their own initiative.

I don’t know how much trouble the emperor would cause for this disease. Zhang Youcai sighed in his heart. He couldn’t control others and could only stay by the emperor’s side and provide some help within his ability.

"Why is Your Majesty still not awake?" Cui Teng couldn't help asking. The emperor always woke up for a while and slept for a while, but today he was lying there without moving.

"I woke up once, you came late and didn't catch up." Zhang Youcai lied.

Cui Teng yawned. He didn't sleep all night. He was really sleepy now. He glanced at Donghai Wang on the opposite side, "Why are you looking at me with such eyes?"

"Did I see you? I didn't notice it myself."

"Hey, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You are scammering and are ready to sue me before His Majesty."

"Why should I complain? This is something that Your Majesty must know, and you should take the initiative to explain it."

"Can you blame me?" Cui Teng said angrily, his voice rising unconsciously.

Zhang Youcai said angrily: "Speak softly, Your Majesty finally sleeps more carefully."

Cui Teng smiled embarrassedly, got up and waved to King Donghai, signaling him to go outside to speak.

There was no one outside the room, Cui Teng whispered: "What should I do?"

"What should I do?" Donghai King pretended to be confused.

"Oh, give me an idea quickly. Do you have to ask me to beg you?" Cui Teng said anxiously.

"I can only tell the truth, there is no other way."

Cui Teng thought for a while, waved his fist, and gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that two servants were beaten by me twice. 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 this time again. King Dai died, Jincheng was surrounded, and the emperor became ill. Of course, if he could escape, he would run away."

Two servants from the Dai Prince's Mansion once privately discussed Miss Cui's family. When Cui Teng heard it, he kicked and punched. The two were frightened and thought they would be retaliated. They were cruel and decided to go out of the city to surrender to foreign enemies.

The maid of Deng's mansion was one of them. She found someone to write a private order to leave the city and secretly stamped the general's seal, asking the two of them to leave the city first to see the situation. If there is really a way out, then take her out.

When she was at Fan Chuanshan, she did not tell the truth, but instead framed her own master.

King Tokai was more cautious and re-examined the maid and finally found out the truth.

"It's all your fault. You have to release those two people out of the city. Now that Deng Cui did not rebel, he has trapped me in."

"Deng Cui did not strictly guard the seal and did not investigate the personnel, and he would be responsible for it."

"What about me?" Cui Teng asked in a trembling voice.

"You? You are the initiator."

"They two of them said my sister like that, would I just bear it?" Cui Teng was both afraid and angry.

"You usually beat them to death, it's okay. They are just two servants. They have nowhere to escape if they want to escape. But now there are all Huns outside. Jincheng is in danger. Do you think this is the capital and want to play with the second son of the Cui family?"

Cui Teng was even more afraid and became more angry, so he grabbed Donghai King's collar, "You have to release them from the city!"

Donghai Wang sneered, "If it weren't for me, all you would have caused was trouble. Now there is a magical skill in front of you. If you don't thank me, you will still complain?"

Cui Tengsong opened his hand, "Excellent skill? Where did the extraordinary skill come from?"

"I will say it when His Majesty wakes up."

Cui Teng immediately changed into a smiley face, "Tonghai King, good cousin, I know you are the smartest, so don't tease me, tell me quickly, is there any benefit to let those two out of the city?"

King Donghai coughed reservedly, "I'm thirsty."

Cui Teng poured tea in a hurry, held it in front of Donghai King, and said apologetically: "It's a little cold."

King Donghai took a sip, frowned slightly, and returned the teacup to Cui Teng.

Cui Tengruo looked at Donghai Neptune with anticipation and said, "Say it."

"say what?"

"What is the so-called magical skill?"

"Oh, it's actually very simple. The maid from Deng's mansion said that the two surrendered to the Huns was a way out. If the Huns did not kill them and gave them rewards, they would find a way to take her out too."

"The Huns killed the Chu people when they saw them, and they wouldn't let them go, right?"

"As soon as Jincheng is broken, everyone will be killed, but now is the time to siege the city. The Huns will leave those two people behind after thinking about it for a moment, so that they can lure more people to surrender, and make Jincheng defeat without attacking."

"Ah, then will I be causing even greater trouble?"

"Idiot, this is also your Majesty's chance to escape from Jincheng."

Cui Teng blinked, but didn't understand.

"The two servants really surrendered to the Huns, and there must be no flaws. They didn't know that the maid was captured, nor did they know that the facts were revealed. When they heard a signal, wouldn't it be our control that whoever could leave the city?"

Cui Teng was shocked and thought for a while, "This, this is too risky. If His Majesty is recognized..."

"So someone has to explore the way for His Majesty, first go out of the city, ensure safety, and tell the Huns that they can lead to more surrender..."

Cui Teng gritted his teeth, "I'll go explore the way, and I'll recognize him even if I die at the hands of the Huns."

"Those two servants recognize you." King Tokai reminded.

"Yes, who should I go out of the city to explore the way?"

"Don't be anxious, there are many loopholes in this plan, and it must be improved slowly." Donghai Neptune wanted to talk about himself, but he didn't want to seem too anxious to avoid arousing suspicion.
