The lady will have plastic surgery, husband don't come here!

Chapter 672
"Yu'er, no matter where these people flee to Rongcheng this time? You should stop taking them in kindly. Natural selection, survival of the fittest, you are not the savior of the world, so there is no need for you to save them."

Seeing that Rongcheng was about to arrive, these people from the Xisui Kingdom who had fled from the disaster probably flocked here because they heard that Xiao Shiqi had taken in those people who had left their homes.

He didn't want Xiao Shiqi to continue to do those thankless things that would be hated by the monarchs of other countries.

"If no one takes them in, they can only wait to die."

Xiao Shiqi is not the Holy Mother. She used to take in those people because she needed a lot of manpower to build a house. Now she doesn't need it anymore, but she still feels that if she doesn't do something, she will feel sorry for her conscience.

"Yu'er, you used to be so indifferent to me, why do you feel pity for those strangers you don't know? I will be very sad if you are like this."

Chu Su pursed her mouth and said sullenly.

"Well, it's not like that, Chu Su, listen to me, I didn't do it on purpose, before...uh..."

Xiao Shiqi couldn't help being annoyed that his mouth was blocked and invaded.

This guy did it on purpose just now, making her think he was really angry?

"Master, we have distributed all our food to them. If we don't make it to the city in front of us before evening, all of us will have to starve."

Feng Chi stood in the carriage and reported.

Only then did Chu Su let Xiao Shiqi go, looking at the panting person in front of him, his eyes darkened, and he ordered outside: "Hurry up, we must go to the next city before dark."

At this time, in Xisui, two-fifths of the land had been occupied by the coalition forces of the previous dynasty. Because the army of the previous dynasty was strong and strong, they fought like a broken bamboo all the way, and all the cities they went to surrendered without fighting. The people opened the gates independently, as if to welcome Like the master, lead troops in.

Ji Rufeng sent several retired veterans who had been on the battlefield to crusade, but it turned out that they were no match for the enemy at all. After three days and three nights of fighting, only 50+ remnants surrendered to the enemy. military.

This may be the saddest and most costly battle in the history of Western Sui that almost wiped out the entire army.

When he got the news, there were finally cracks on Ji Rufeng's gentle and handsome face.

The 50 army is gone.

After losing the first battle, who would dare to lead troops there afterward?

The entire court fell into a deathly silence.

At this time, no one knew what to do, and no one had any ideas.

The opponent was too strong, they were caught off guard, and it was difficult to regain lost ground.

"Why don't you ask for peace?"

A minister suddenly came out and remonstrated with Ji Rufeng.

"Seek peace? They are playing under the banner of the previous dynasty. What they want is the whole world. We are just a stepping stone for them. How could they ask for peace with us?"

The other minister shook his head and sighed.

"If you can't seek peace, if you can't fight, what else can you do? Can you just watch the country go bankrupt and the family die?"

Another minister said angrily.

"How about, let's write another letter to the emperor of Dongyue, we promise him some benefits, and ask him for support!"

"Forget it, the emperor of Dongyue wants to watch the fire from the other side, and is going to make trouble. He wants to wait for us to lose both, so that we can benefit from it. Unfortunately, he miscalculated the strength of the coalition forces of the previous dynasty."

An old old minister curled his lips in disdain.

"His Royal Highness, please give me an idea! If this continues, Xi Sui will perish sooner or later."

"Yes, His Royal Highness, there is nothing we can do now, what should we do? This thing is about to become someone else's."

"His Royal Highness..."

Ji Rufeng looked at them quietly, listened to their words, nodded with complicated eyes and said: "I have decided to lead troops to conquer the rebels myself!"

"Your Highness, don't! You can't do this, this Xi Sui still can't do without you, who will take charge of the overall situation if you leave?"

"Your Highness, please think twice."

"Your Highness, please think twice."

Everyone clapped their hands in unison.

"I've made up my mind, I'll go and tell my mother, and then I'll set out to conquer the rebels."

Ji Rufeng said lightly, waved to everyone, then left the hall and walked towards Queen Lin's palace.

However, the little eunuch sent by Empress Lin to inquire about the news told her earlier that Ji Rufeng was about to go on a conquest in person.

When she learned that her son was going to fight regardless of personal safety, she was so shocked that she couldn't stop coughing.

This coughing couldn't stop anymore, and when Ji Rufeng came in, she was covering her mouth and coughing uncomfortably.

The little eunuch who had announced the imperial physician a long time ago invited the imperial physician in now.

Ji Rufeng stared blankly at Empress Lin, whose face was pale to bloodless due to coughing, and something was wrong in her heart.

He asked Imperial Physician Xiang who was helping Empress Lin to treat her: "What's wrong with Empress Mother? Why does she keep coughing?"

Imperial Physician He glanced at Empress Lin, and saw that she shook her head imperceptibly at him, signaling him not to tell the truth, so he nodded slightly, and said to Ji Rufeng, "Ma'am, this is a long-lasting sequelae of wind and cold. You will get better after taking a few doses of medicine, so don't worry about it, His Royal Highness."

Ji Rufeng glanced at Empress Lin again, then nodded and said: "In that case, the minister can rest assured."

He paused and said again: "Mother, now the west is precarious with the wind and rain, the father is unconscious again, and the son wants to go on an expedition in person..."

"Feng'er, don't even think about it, ahem..."

Empress Lin was agitated, and the cough that had been so hard to stop could not be stopped again.

Imperial Physician He's eyes darkened: "Madam, if you have something to say to His Highness, don't get too excited."

If this goes on, there's nothing he can do.

"puff"

This time the cough was so hard that Empress Lin felt as if she had coughed her lungs out.

She coughed uncomfortably for a while, opened her mouth involuntarily, and spat out a mouthful of blood, all over her cheap chin and skirt.

"Mother."

Ji Rufeng was stunned.

He grabbed Imperial Physician He's collar: "What's wrong with my mother?"

"Ahem, Feng'er, I'm scared, it's okay, it's not...boom!"

Before finishing her sentence, Queen Lin passed out and fell headfirst from the phoenix chair.

"Miss!"

"Mother."

Ji Rufeng let go of her hands, picked up Empress Lin from the ground in panic, and placed her on the soft couch on the other side.

When the maid who was waiting outside came in to help Empress Lin change her clothes, he held Imperial Physician He in his hand and asked indifferently, "How long do you want to hide it?"

Do you think he is blind, a fool?
"Your Highness, now that there is no cure for your empress, even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it."

Imperial Physician He knelt down in front of Ji Rufeng guiltily and shook his head.

"What's going on? When did the mother become so seriously ill?"

Ji Rufeng didn't let Imperial Physician He get up, which was also a disguised punishment for his concealment.
