First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 46

The flu spread quietly at the beginning, and then it spread extremely rapidly. In less than half a month, more than half of the people in Yanjing City had fever, limb weakness, and coughing and other symptoms. The disease spread to the entire city like a plague. Zhao land.

Although the fatality rate of the flu is very low, this terrifying illness has broken the psychological defense of the people of Zhaodi. The invisible enemy is the most terrifying.

When such a thing happened in ancient times, most people would regard the plague disaster as God's unkind punishment for those in power.

Although Zhao Wang ordered the free distribution of medicinal materials for treating fever and cough, he mobilized the noble families in Zhao to distribute food to the people, and he tried his best to control the rising prices of daily necessities.

As more and more people fell ill and the people were too panicked, these measures of King Zhao could not be said to be wrong, but the results were very bad.

The nobles of Zhao Di were also human beings, and many of them also contracted the flu and fell ill.

The situation of the epidemic is getting more and more serious, and the pressure on Zhao Wang is getting bigger and bigger, because the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and his temper is getting worse and worse.

Zeng Rou took strict precautions against herself and those around her. She used ginger soup, banlangen and other decoctions to prevent colds all day long, and then used disinfection and other methods.

Zeng Rou asked everyone to wear a mask, and distributed one to everyone around them to prevent cross-infection... When the disease spread to Prince Zhao's Mansion, only Zeng Ruan and Li Yuxin's courtyard were free of the disease, which is very telling.

Zeng Rou didn't wait for Li Yuxin's questioning. She waited for a shocking news. General Zhuge Yun took this opportunity to send troops to the Northern Expedition and gave King Zhao two options. It was a bloody fight to the death with Zhuge Yun.

In such a dangerous situation in Zhaodi, Zhuge Yun was purely adding insult to injury.

"Mother, you don't have to worry. Zhuge Yun is not a fool. He just threatened his father. The soldiers under his command are also human beings. This disease is not limited to Zhao people. He dare not set foot in Zhao Wang's fief easily."

Gu Tingrui wore a small mask on his face. Ever since the flu broke out in a large area, Zeng Rou forbade him to go out again, and he was not allowed to go to any place where crowds gathered. He frowned: "I thought General Zhuge Yun was a hero, he……."

His eyes blinked, Zeng Rou curled his fingers and flicked his forehead, "Do you think he would give up Zhao Di for a woman? Who do you think is a mother? A goddess? Who do you think he is? A hero? Xiao Rui Rui, heroes don't live long these days."

"Besides, I have nothing to do with him."

"Ah."

Gu Tingrui nodded, originally thinking that he would release his mother to live the life he wanted after his last name was Gu Hou.

"I don't want you to be like Mrs. Tuoba Tai, trapped in Zhao Wang's mansion for the rest of his life...but he doesn't seem to be doing well. Mother should be taken care of by his son. After the son can be the master, you can do whatever you want. It's a prankster. When you come to the mansion, it’s better to raise noodles and make capital success.”

Zeng Rou couldn't laugh or cry, did she seem like someone who couldn't stand loneliness?

Gu Tingrui slapped his head and said, "Mother said, did General Zhuge Yun deliberately force Father to deal with Li?"

"Why do you think so?"

"He didn't dare to enter the army, and deliberately placed soldiers on the opposite side of the river, so that the people of Zhao could feel the threat of soldiers... The people of Zhao had already been crushed by the epidemic. It wasn't for their trust in their father and the Gu family, they would have already Killed Li Shi and the child in her belly."

"Father won't last long, and she's still pregnant with a handicap!"

Zeng Rou said lightly: "In fact, everything is just a coincidence, but now no one believes what she says."

Zeng Rou didn't think that all the disasters in Zhao land were caused by Li Yuxin and the child in her womb, but the coincidence happened to the extreme, and the coincidence happened in the feudal era when science was backward and the people were ignorant.

Unless Li Yuxin can clear away the disaster with a wave of her hand, she will be the root of the disaster and the best tool for King Zhao to quell the panic of the epidemic in Zhao.

"My lord shouldn't think of sacrificing Li Yuxin..."

If King Zhao put Li Yuxin on the altar together, then the various favors he had for Li Yuxin in the past would be a big joke. King Zhao is very shameless, and even if the favor is wrong, he will stick to it.

"Master, master."

Lady Liu ran in and said, "My lord went to Li Shi's courtyard in person, saying that... he said he wanted to get rid of the root of evil in Li Shi's stomach."

"Have you been there? All the side concubines have gone."

"Where are the concubine and Mrs. Tai?"

"It's also passed, the concubine seems to have a fever..."

"I dont go."

Zeng Rou propped her chin and said: "Send a message to the concubine, I can't control Brother Jue, if she wants to be good for Brother Jue, she'd better hold on, her grandson can only be loved by herself."

Seeing Zhao Wang and Li Yuxin's farewell attitude, although it was to relieve hatred, Zeng Rou felt disgusted, and Zhao Wang's true love for her was nothing more than that.

Zeng Rou touched Gu Tingrui's forehead, "Sacrificing daughters and children for Zhao land is the most skillful thing the Gu family ancestors have done. It doesn't matter if your surname is not Gu."

Knowing Zeng Rou's hatred for Li Yuxin, Gu Tingrui said, "Mother, why don't you go see it?"

"I want to know more about Zhuge Yun's next plan!" Zeng Rou's eyes turned deep, "Since the concubine intends to entrust Brother Jue to me, it proves that she knows that she is not in good health. There are also signs of fever... Have you ever thought about the prince?"

"With Mrs. Tuobatai, my father will be fine!"

"She is a doctor, not a fairy."

Zeng Rou shook her head, "Let's not talk about the physical condition of the lord, just talk about a series of things that happened recently... The burden on the lord is too heavy, too heavy, once you are overwhelmed by the disease, Brother Rui, mother will push you up , do you dare to accept the responsibility of King Zhao?"

"dare."

"Good."

Zeng Rou took out a piece of paper full of words from the side, "Memorize it by heart, read it thoroughly, in case of emergencies, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. It is impossible for things like illness to spread forever. Restoring the confidence of the people in Zhaodi is more important than prevention and treatment. The environment is important, but a person's mental strength is also very important. For example, a patient who is diagnosed by a doctor as less than three months old may have less than one Yue died, why? Because she had given up hope of living and was mentally broken."

Feudal princes always bear unimaginable pressure at critical times.

At present, there are internal and external troubles in Zhao land, and the people's hearts are unstable. Zhao Wang is very guilty of Li Yuxin and killed the crystallization of love. These things fall on Zhao Wang. He may not be able to bear it, especially when he is in a bad health situation. Down……

As for General Zhuge Yun, Zeng Rou never thought of involving herself in it, let alone make Zhuge Yun give up his idea of ​​withdrawing from Zhao.

For Zhuge Yun, destroying Zhao Di is the only thing he can play now. Either he succeeds in destroying the feudal clan, or he is killed by King Zhao... Except for Zhao Di, he has no place to seek death.

If you don't die, you won't die. This is General Zhuge Yun.

It is undeniable that Zeng Rou quite likes Zhuge Yun's physical condition. His body shape is very similar to his lover in the previous life. Zhuge Yun has no wife... Zeng Rou will not hurt any wife. What, but she won't trade her body for Zhao Di!
Even if there is an affair and sex, she and Zhuge Yun are equal.

Zhao Wang handed the soup to Li Yuxin, his deep eyes were full of pain, and he said hoarsely, "Xin'er, I'm sorry."

"Do not……."

Li Yuxin didn't want to keep her son at first, but Zhao Wang just came to her room with the abortion medicine, which broke Li Yuxin's confidence in him.

At this time, her grief and pain were real, not just a show, her heart was torn into pieces, it turned out...it turned out that she also loved Zhao Wang, not all because of it.

"Gu Yancheng, how can you be so cruel? Aren't you the king of Zhaodi?"

This was the first time Li Yuxin called Zhao Wang's name, and no one expected it to be at this time.

Li Yuxin dared to use the child in her womb to frame Gu Tingrui. She said from the bottom of her heart that she didn't really want to keep the child, but no matter how cruel she was, she was still a mother. In the past few days, she could feel the child stretching her legs... She couldn't bear it anymore. Even if it's a handicap...she still wants to give birth to her son.

Li Yuxin is not ignorant of the situation outside, and it is not very safe to pin her hopes on a man, but at this time, except Zhao Wang, no one can help her.

With no help from inside and no help from outside, Li Yuxin feels lonely. When she is lonely, she always thinks of her relatives. If she hadn't come to Zhaodi with King Zhao, would her father and brothers help her when she was in danger? a handful?
Even if that brother is not her real brother, he is always born by her stepmother, and they are all surnamed Li.

Under the pressure of the man he loves, take away the child, take away their crystallization of love... Li Yuxin raised her head and looked at the solemn Zhao Wang, "I don't want to hear your sorry, I just want to ask you, did what you said count? "

Even if Li Yuxin can't keep the child in the end, she can't let herself be convinced that she is pregnant with the root of the curse. If the root of the curse is removed today, and there will be another turmoil in Zhaodi tomorrow, will King Zhao get rid of her?
"You said you would protect me, give me happiness, and let me live a good life. No one can bully me, no one can despise me!"

Li Yuxin was tearful, holding Zhao Wang's arm: "Where is that uncle who swore to protect me regardless of his life? Uncle, are you really Zhao Wang?"

Because of the recent series of incidents, King Zhao has endured tremendous mental torture. His gray temples look more and more weathered, and there are deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and brows. He looks older and more lonely than before.

King Zhao knew that he could not collapse, let alone show cowardice in front of the Gu family and Zhao's subordinates.

He has been dealing with Zhao's affairs calmly and calmly. Whether it is disaster relief or free distribution of medicinal materials, or dealing with Zhuge Yun's pressing every step of the way, he has handled it well. Under the disaster, the people of Zhao still believed in the king of Zhao. Even though Li Yuxin was pointed at, the people of Zhao didn't think that the king of Zhao was wrong.

His prestige in Zhao for many years has supported the trust of the people in Zhao, but Zhao Wang is also very tired, very tired, mentally and mentally haggard, deep in Zhao Wang's heart is a depression that he doesn't know who to tell.

"Xin'er, if this king has a chance to avoid it, I won't want to hurt you! Get rid of him, you are still my favorite Xin'er, be obedient... Xiner!"

Putting the soup bowl to Li Yuxin's lips, King Zhao coaxed, "Even if we don't have children, it's enough for me to accompany you. Xin'er, I... I don't want to fall into the trap of being forced to get rid of you by Zhao people." No matter how hard it is, Xiner, no amount of difficulties will pass, as long as we get through this most difficult time..."

This is the biggest guarantee King Zhao can give Li Yuxin.

But the emotional Li Yuxin was not moved by him, and pushed Zhao Wang and said: "I won't drink, I won't drink, today you sacrifice my son for Zhao Di, tomorrow you will sacrifice me! I don't believe your words anymore You don't want to keep him, you despise him, okay, I'll go, I'll go far, and I won't implicate you again!"

Li Yuxin put on her shoes and got off the bed, and rushed outside. King Zhao didn't want outsiders to see Li Yuxin's abortion, so he left everyone outside. After Li Yuxin rushed out of the bedroom, he saw the concubine, Mrs. Tuoba, And the four side concubines...and several relatives of the Gu family.

"Gu Yancheng, that's why you love me so much? What are they doing here? Are they here to see my jokes?"

Li Yuxin turned her head and glared at Zhao Wang who was standing at the door of the bedroom, and pointed at the concubine and others, "You let these people come to see me and take away our son...you let them have the right to laugh at me and despise me...you put my hand on me Hit them into the dirt and let them trample on my dignity and insult everything about me...you...you still have the nerve to say you love me?"

King Zhao didn't want them to follow, but the side concubines' natal family contributed a lot, and King Zhao didn't want to embarrass the side concubines at this time. The toffee was holding the imperial scepter. The concubine should be more respectful. As for Mrs. Tuobatai, the biological mother... King Zhao has never been able to control Mrs. Tuobatai's words and deeds, but this time, King Zhao begged Mrs. Tuobatai to come to ensure Li Yuxin's safety.

For this reason, King Zhao even knelt down and begged his biological mother, and promised his biological mother to raise Shan's only son, Gu Tingrui.

King Zhao closed his eyes tiredly, where could the crazy and irritable Li Yuxin in front of him be that kind, innocent, lively, pretty little woman?Where is her thoughtfulness, gentleness, and intellectuality?King Zhao didn't know her anymore.

The side concubines came to see Li Yuxin's excitement, Tuoba side concubine said: "Love you? Will Cousin Zhao Wang love a private pet? I really don't know how you have the face to say such words confidently, I'm afraid even the princess won't Who do you think you are when you dare to do this to cousin Wang Ye, a private pet with no name or distinction?"

Li Yuxin's face was pale, and she could no longer see a little bit of blood. Fame is what she cares about most. She really shouldn't... really shouldn't follow Zhao Wang's wishes, "Tuoba side concubine, and you, don't think that How much better are you than me."

Facing the side concubines, Li Yuxin's face was a bit terrifying, and she mocked: "You were all played by Zeng Rou, you were all used by Zeng Rou, and when you were useless, Zeng Rou would deal with me like I did." you!"

Li Yuxin laughed maniacally, obviously she has been stimulated a lot these days.

That's right, it's no wonder that she is like this. From gaining the upper hand to now facing Zeng Rou, she is completely at a disadvantage. The bargaining chip in her hand has been lost bit by bit, but Zeng Rou's position has become more and more stable. How can Li Yuxin not hate Zeng Rou?
"I'm telling you... I'm telling you, King Zhao...he won't have..."

Zhao Wang took a step forward, stood between Li Yuxin and Mrs. Tuobatai, covered Li Yuxin's mouth with his hand, turned his back to Mrs. Tuobatai, and said in a low voice, "Xin'er, do you want to die in front of this king? "

"Do you know that if my mother wanted your life, it would be as easy as crushing an ant?"

No matter how many changes Li Yuxin has made, King Zhao has loved her.He couldn't watch Li Yuxin die before his eyes.

"Drink the medicine and sleep, Xiner, and all the pain will pass."

Zhao Wang put the decoction on Li Yuxin's lips again, and the depression condensed between his brows, "The more you make trouble, the more they will only make you look down on you. After this difficulty, I will find the best doctor... We will always There is a way, as long as this king can stand in Zhaodi, Xiner, this king will register you as a side concubine, the first side concubine... This king will give you the opportunity to be kind to the people of Zhaodi, and everything will be arranged by this king Sure, just waiting for you to recover..."

Li Yuxin picked up the soup bowl and touched his arms. When Zhao Wang relaxed his vigilance, Li Yuxin suddenly took out the fire nitrate that Zhao Wang had given him in his arms, and pointed the gun at Zhao Wang's chest, "Get out of the way!" , I want to leave you!"

Not only Zhao Wang was stunned, but everyone present was also stunned.

"Xin'er!" Zhao Wang only felt that his chest was tight and painful, and the cold fire gun was pointed at him... The person holding the fire gun turned out to be his favorite and most unsuspecting woman, Zhao Wang said: "Don't Nonsense."

"I'm not fooling around!"

Li Yuxin threw away the soup bowl, and said coldly: "Even if my stomach is a curse and a disability, I will give birth to him. I mistrusted you before, but now I won't."

Zhao Wang's eyebrows were in disbelief, and the pain of being stabbed flashed across his eyes, "How did you become like this?"

"You forced me." Li Yuxin squeezed her hair with one hand, and the pearl earrings on her ears exuded a soft and enchanting light:
"Gu Yancheng, since we met and fell in love, let me tell you the truth. I like you very much. I didn't realize that I like you so much before... The me you see now is the real one. It's ridiculous, you love You look at me, but you like Li Yuxin from before! Let me tell you one more thing, Zeng Rou is not your wife, she is the evildoer!"

"Mrs. Tuobatai, don't come here, otherwise, if I shake my hands, I'm afraid your son's life will be lost. No matter how fast you are, your kung fu will not be as fast as a bullet."

Li Yuxin threatened King Zhao, "Send me out of King Zhao's mansion!"

Zhao Wang suddenly aged several years, and murmured: "You can't leave, Li Yuxin, just give up."

Suddenly, King Zhao made an attack and pinched Li Yuxin's wrist holding the gunpowder. There was a kaba, followed by a gunshot. King Zhao fell down clutching his chest. His clothes on his chest were stained with blood, "Do you dare to shoot? "

Li Yuxin's wrist hangs down, and the smoke of fire falls to the ground. Holding on to the wrist that was broken by Zhao Wang, Li Yuxin laughs at herself, "I shot, and you broke my wrist, Gu Yancheng, you and I There is no difference between the ancestors of the Gu family... Every time there is a disaster in Zhaodi or the Gu family, you Gu family men are the first to think of sacrificing women!"

"I saw it wrong, and I loved it wrong, retribution! Retribution! This is my retribution."
