Lai Po-chu was very self-aware.
For the past month or so, Li You has been the one offering advice, while she has been more responsible for execution.
The two worked together very well.
Originally, it was thought that the two were about to separate, but unexpectedly, Huang Jiao (a cult) came out to cause trouble again.
Li Baozhu then expressed her willingness to cooperate with Li You to wipe out all the rioters who were posing as disaster victims!
"good!"
Li You was very happy to have such a compatible partner.
The two got together, discussed things, and began another collaboration.
...
That evening, two homing pigeons from Liangzhou arrived in Zhongzhou.
These were all gifts from Xie Yuan to Li Baozhu.
The sisters communicated entirely by carrier pigeons.
Of course, homing pigeons are, after all, just birds of prey, so they are not entirely reliable.
Therefore, each time a message is delivered, two to three birds must be prepared and released separately.
If one is shot down by a hunter or someone with malicious intent during flight, there will be other pigeons.
It can't be that the entire army is wiped out.
This time, the homing pigeons released by Li Baozhu were very lucky, with both pigeons arriving safely one after the other.
Luo Peiyu blew her whistle, summoning both carrier pigeons down.
He removed the bamboo tube from the claws and then sent it into the king's tent.
"Axi, this is a message from Li Baozhu!"
"Huh? It's an encrypted message."
Xie Yuan sat by the bed, unpacking the bamboo tube as he spoke softly to Helian Jue.
This is what Xie Yuan has been doing ever since he arrived in Zhongzhou.
She stayed by Helian Jue's side, talking to him constantly while he was unconscious.
The conversation was very rich in content, including official reports from the court, letters from the female attendants, and information about the four children sent by Empress Dowager Xiao.
In addition, there were secret letters sent back by secret agents such as the Embroidered Uniform Guard and Embroidered-Clad Envoys scattered in various places.
Xie Yuan was completely open and honest with Helian Jue.
She treated Helian Jue as if he were asleep, and just like before, shared everything with him.
Seeing this scene, Helian Chen felt a pang of sadness: "The Empress has gone a little mad."
The sage remained in a coma, much like a living dead.
The imperial physicians had given up hope and all wrote wills to their families, preparing for their entire families to die.
Even the monks and Taoist priests who chanted sutras and prayed for blessings outside and often used ghosts and gods to deceive people lost their initial composure and began to feel a little apprehensive.
The sage's strange illness is truly bizarre.
I can't wake him up no matter what I do!
People who are in a long-term coma can only be fed liquid food, which their bodies simply cannot withstand.
Helian Jue has been in a coma for twenty days, and he has become so thin that he looks unrecognizable.
His physical condition was also deteriorating.
Those who have seen his true face have no doubt that this emperor is nearing his end!
Only the Empress refused to give up, feeding the Emperor medicine and food every day, wiping his body, and massaging his limbs.
They finally have a little free time, but they still have to "handle" official business with the sage.
The Empress looked calm and composed, as if she were no different from usual.
But those who knew her well could see that the Empress's condition was very bad.
She seemed to live in her own world, refusing to accept or face certain "facts."
"Your Majesty, please stop making a scene!"
"Your Majesty is worried that Your Highness may have gone mad, just like you!"
"If something else were to happen, she... she might make an irreversible choice!"
If that day really comes, it will be too late to regret it.
But Helian Jue, who had already gone completely mad, was still stubbornly holding on.
He was clearly suffering greatly, living a life of torment every day, but he just kept going.
“A secret letter from Baozhu. Hmm, let me think. I think I made an agreement with her that if there are any confidential matters, we should write them down using a code.”
"A code? Oh, right, it's the Book of Songs."
Talking to oneself too much can make one seem a bit neurotic.
Xie Yuan now seems to be mentally unstable.
As she rambled on, she got up and went to the front of the Treasure Pavilion, where she picked up a scroll of silk.
She gently unfolded it and, referring to the vertical arrangement of the letters, translated the contents of the secret letter.
"The Yellow Sect of Liangzhou, posing as disaster victims, incited unrest and plotted treason..."
Xie Yuan read the contents of the note aloud.
Then she placed the note on the candlestick and burned it.
“Ah Xi, this Yellow Sect is really ubiquitous; they even have followers in the Southwest.”
"They even tried to use the earthquake to cause trouble! How despicable!"
"No, it shouldn't just be the earthquake in the southwest; they should also know that you're sick!"
"Fine, you dare to cause trouble? You'll see if I allow it!"
Xie Yuan kept rambling on, then became angry.
She seemed very concerned that someone actually wanted to take advantage of Helian Jue's serious illness.
"Luo Peiyu!"
Xie Yuan shouted.
Almost immediately, Luo Peiyu appeared in the royal tent.
"Go, pass down the order: instruct the Embroidered Uniform Guards and Embroidered-Robe Envoys in all prefectures and counties to find out the whereabouts of the Yellow Sect as soon as possible and destroy their operations!"
"If needed, you can contact the local health station!"
Xie Yuan spoke with murderous intent, which was completely inconsistent with her usual gentle and open-minded image.
She is now a pitiful woman whose husband is seriously ill.
Yet so many people still want to take advantage of the chaos.
Those people clearly believed that Helian Jue was doomed and that he and his wife were at the mercy of others!
This is what Xie Yuan finds most intolerable.
