I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1215 Both His Majesty and the Empress have something to attend to!

Youth is youth, and innocence is the greatest wisdom.

Su Ziyu left the capital several times to serve in other places. The first time he left the capital, he went to Yuzhou to serve as a county magistrate. He was only 26 years old at the time, but his sharpness was already evident.

He then left and returned to Beijing several times, and is now forty-three years old.

This time, I was away from the capital for a full six years. For six years, I stood under the city gate, looking towards the capital.

It is more prosperous than ever before.

Liu Fenggu stepped forward, looked around, and said softly, "There are indeed quite a few more martial arts practitioners here. It seems that the martial arts demonstration we heard about along the way was not just a rumor."

Feng Jingtang gazed into the distance and said, "I just didn't expect that my grandmaster would actually come, and that he already knew that we had returned."

Liu Fenggu pressed his hand on the blade at his waist. "It's not just your ancestor; that whole bunch over there, just looking at them makes me want to leave as soon as possible. All the seniors have gathered in the capital."

But before she could finish speaking, Gongsun Chunu immediately covered Liu Fenggu's mouth: "Are you out of your mind? Stop talking nonsense!"

Liu Fenggu frowned: "I'm afraid of those senior elders? That's ridiculous! Besides, when I spar with the Old Celestial Master, it's always a 30/70 chance of victory! Sister Chu, you're making a big fuss over nothing!"

After saying that, Liu Fenggu looked at Su Ziyu: "Lord Su, now that we have safely arrived in the capital, the four of us should first pay our respects to the senior."

Liu Fenggu, Bai Danrong, Feng Jingtang, and Gongsun Chunu happened to meet Su Ziyu and his wife, who were also returning to the capital, when they passed through Yuzhou.

They had already met in Yuzhou, and since they were heading to the same destination, they naturally traveled together.

It would be good if Liu Fenggu could also protect the couple to prevent any trouble on the road.

Su Ziyu quickly bowed and said, "Thanks to the four of you for taking care of us along the way, my wife and I were able to enter the capital safely. I will definitely visit you to express my gratitude later."

Bai Danrong helped Su Ziyu and Su Qinshi up and said with a smile, "The food you ate on the way was just to my liking. We should thank you, otherwise we would have been eating dry rations all the way."

Madam Su Qin smiled and said, "If Mr. Bai enjoys eating, you are welcome to visit my Su residence often during your stay in the capital."

Bai Danrong clasped her hands in a fist and said, "Definitely!"

Just as Liu Fenggu was about to speak, he froze, turned his head to look at the street, and saw Li Xizhi riding towards him.

He dismounted in one swift motion.

Li Xizhi looked at Su Ziyu and said, "Li Xizhi greets Lord Su."

Su Ziyu quickly returned the greeting, then looked at the commander of the Shence Army and asked, "Commander Li, what is this?"

Li Xizhi looked at Su Ziyu: "It's important. The Grand Tutor and the others are discussing it. When they heard you were back, they asked me to tell you to go there quickly."

Su Ziyu frowned and immediately asked, "What urgent matter has happened?"

Li Xizhi immediately nodded: "Yes, and it involves the Ministry of Personnel, so we need you to go and take charge."

Su Ziyu naturally knew that His Majesty had appointed him as Minister of Personnel, but he had only just arrived in the capital and was immediately summoned to the capital. What earth-shattering event had occurred?

Su Ziyu turned around and handed the bundle on his back to the servant who had followed him.

He glanced at Su Qinshi, but said nothing. Su Qinshi nodded gently.

Li Xizhi said, "I have arranged for someone to escort Madam back to the Su residence, and I have also informed the Su family that you two have returned. However, Lord Su, please come with me to the Ministry of Personnel."

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyu turned to look at Li Xizhi: "Shouldn't we go and pay our respects to His Majesty first?"

Li Xizhi shook his head.

But he didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at Liu Fenggu and the others and said, "Master Liu, Brother Feng, Brother Bai, Palace Master Gongsun, all the seniors are staying at the Yue Prince's Mansion. I think they should know by now. His Majesty and the Empress expressed their gratitude to the four of you for your assistance with the Rusty Qi Sect. I have also arranged for people to take the four of you to the Yue Prince's Mansion."

Liu Fenggu and the other three naturally guessed that something big must have happened, so they didn't waste any time and immediately clasped their hands in greeting.

Without delay, Su Ziyu hurriedly left with Li Xizhi.

However, after walking for a while, Su Ziyu looked at Li Xizhi and asked, "Commander Li, has something happened to His Majesty?"

Li Xizhi looked at Su Ziyu and told her about what had happened in the palace that day.

Su Ziyu's expression froze upon hearing this, and he quickly asked, "How is His Majesty's health? Did Mr. Zhang say anything?"

Li Xizhi shook his head: "Mr. Zhang and Mr. Mo didn't say anything, they just said that His Majesty should rest well. But His Majesty issued an imperial edict saying that he should rest for the next few days."

Su Ziyu pressed further, "Didn't they say anything else?"

Li Xizhi shook his head.

Su Ziyu frowned. The country was not yet at peace, and the war between the two borders had only just begun and was not yet completely over. How could His Majesty be injured or ill at this time?

Su Ziyu stopped asking questions and urged Li Xizhi to hurry up.

The location of the Ministry of Personnel.

The seven high-ranking officials, including Su Wenqing, who had just been ordered to discuss matters, looked at Zhang Wenjing with different expressions.

Gao Rou, who had the worst temper, looked at Zhang Wenjing and said, "What do you mean by 'minor ailment'? Does a minor ailment mean you can rest for a few days? Our Emperor is one of the most diligent emperors in history, so tell me quickly what's wrong with His Majesty?"

Zhang Wenjing sat in the chair, looking at the crowd surrounding her, with a bitter expression: "His Majesty is really fine, he just needs to rest, after all, he can't be too tired. And today, His Majesty was indeed angry, but it's alright, he just needs to rest."

Yan Ci looked at Zhang Wenjing and said, "Brother Wenjing, did His Majesty and the Empress instruct you not to say anything to anyone?"

Zhang Wenjing immediately shook her head: "No."

That's true. Mo Jingchun went to Cangzhou and other places to see doctors, so he's the only one here today.

When Yan Yunxiao brought him into the palace, he looked anxious, after all, His Majesty was pregnant and there was no room for any mishap.

But after actually seeing His Majesty and taking his pulse, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Slight abdominal pain is normal and is simply due to emotional fluctuations.

However, when taking the pulse, the Empress also noticed that His Majesty was overworked, so she instructed His Majesty to rest well and not to have such large fluctuations in his emotions.

And what about the Empress?
As he said, no instructions were given.

But I never expected that I would be brought here immediately after leaving the palace.

Every word he said was the truth!

just
Zhang Wenjing was very clear about one thing: His Majesty's pregnancy could be mentioned by His Majesty and the Empress, but it absolutely could not be mentioned by him, Zhang Wenjing. Therefore, this matter naturally had to be kept secret.

Therefore, apart from this matter, everything else can be discussed right now.

But nobody believed it!
Zhang Wenjing smiled wryly at everyone: "Everyone, His Majesty is really alright, but he needs to rest more. Moreover, the imperial edict just now stated that His Majesty should rest for two days and not see anyone. In my opinion, that would be the best course of action."

Everyone looked at Zhang Wenjing.

There's something fishy going on in there no matter how you look at it.

His Majesty is not the kind of person who would fall ill from anger over today's events; there must be some hidden story behind it.

Looking at Zhang Wenjing, everyone exchanged glances, realizing that this miracle doctor was hiding something.

Wei Xuancheng looked at Zhang Wenjing: "Mr. Zhang, we understand your feelings, but His Majesty cannot afford any mishaps. We hope you can understand our concerns. You don't need to say anything, but could you please nod or shake your head when we ask you something?"

Zhang Wenjing nodded. Apart from the fact that the Empress was a man and His Majesty was pregnant, he could naturally handle other matters, but if it involved these two things, he would have to think it over carefully.

Upon hearing this, all eyes turned to Zhang Wenjing. Wei Xuancheng asked, "Your Majesty, are you awake now?"

Zhang Wenjing nodded.

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that His Majesty was awake; it was better than him being unconscious.

Mu Xu then asked, "How's your appetite? How's your food? Are you eating a lot?"

Zhang Wenjing remembered what the Empress had said: that although His Majesty had been tired lately, his appetite was excellent, more than twice what it used to be. So she nodded and said, "Very good."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

After a moment's thought, Gao Rou looked at Zhang Wenjing and said, "Your Majesty's illness is not incurable, is it?"

Zhang Wenjing smiled wryly, wondering what all this was, and then nodded: "It can be cured."

Gao Rou immediately looked at the others: "That old man really did lie to us, His Majesty is really sick!"

Zhang Wenjing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gao Rou with a surprised expression.

But everyone was puzzled. His Majesty was lucid and had a good appetite, yet he had fallen ill.

Su Wenqing paused, then looked at Zhang Wenjing: "His Majesty's illness can be cured with just a few days of rest?"

Zhang Wenjing was about to speak when she hesitated for a moment, then said, "A few days of rest will suffice for now, but it's hard to say what will happen after that."

Su Wenqing pressed further: "What do you mean by 'it's hard to say what will happen next'? Didn't you say it can be cured?"

Zhang Wenjing nodded: "It can be cured, but not in the next two days; it will take time."

As she spoke, Zhang Wenjing calculated, "It will take about several more months."

The faces of the group immediately turned serious, and they looked at each other with surprise.
An illness that takes several months to cure.

This isn't a serious illness?!

Gao Rou looked at Zhang Wenjing: "Zhang Wenjing, don't think that way."

But just as Gao Rou was about to curse, Su Ziyu's voice came from outside the door: "Your humble servant Su Ziyu greets all the esteemed officials."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiulang hurriedly went to open the door.

The century-old Dragon and Tiger List: the top scholar and the second-place scholar meet again after several years.

One person serves as prime minister.

One person was appointed as Minister.

"Jiulang!" Su Ziyu bowed to Li Jiulang.

Li Jiulang returned the greeting and made way for him.

After nodding, Su Ziyu looked at everyone in the hall, immediately bowed, and finally looked at his father.

Su Wenqing looked at his son, whom he hadn't seen for years, and how could he not be excited? But there were more important things to do right now, so he waved his hand and said, "There's no need for those words. You've just returned, and I've already called you here. Do you know why?"

Su Ziyu looked at his father's increasingly white hair and nodded with emotion: "Commander Li told me on the way, but how is His Majesty, Grand Tutor Father, and all the other officials?"

After closing the door, Li Jiulang went up and told Su Ziyu what Zhang Wenjing had just said.

Su Ziyu looked at Zhang Wenjing with a surprised expression.

Looking at everyone, Zhang Wenjing sensed that they had misunderstood again, and quickly said, "Everyone, His Majesty is truly alright. You can trust me. Although I am not in an important position in the court, I know that His Majesty cares about the people, and the Great Xia cannot be without His Majesty, so please trust me."

Mu Xu looked at Zhang Wenjing: "You old hag, you never tell the truth, how can we believe you! At first you were talking about how His Majesty was doing so well, but now what? You keep saying it's nothing, nothing at all. An illness that takes months to cure, a minor illness? Nothing? Let me tell you, it's a good thing that ruthless Yan Yunxiao isn't here. If she were, she would have given you a good beating!"

After saying that, Mu Xu immediately added, "It's also a good thing that Ru Yu isn't here; she's become ruthless now!"

Zhang Wenjing looked at Mu Xu, what could she say? His Majesty was pregnant, and it would take several months.

But this is something I can't talk about.

Su Ziyu looked at Zhang Wenjing, as if he had thought of something, and quickly stepped forward to look at Zhang Wenjing: "Sir, it has been many years since we last met. Please forgive my rudeness."

Zhang Wenjing said, "Lord Su, there's no need for that. If it weren't for your strong opposition back then, who knows what would have happened to the children in the village."

Back when Su Ziyu was in Jiaozhou, there was a village where a child, due to living by the sea year-round, had accumulated a lot of cold and damp toxins in his body. Because the village never paid attention to this, the child fell seriously ill and developed severe blisters all over his body.

Zhang Wenjing happened to be passing by at that time, but everyone was talking nonsense about the sea god punishing her, and they wouldn't let Zhang Wenjing treat her.

Fortunately, Su Ziyu rushed over after learning about the incident, overruled the objections of others, and persuaded Zhang Wenjing to take action, which saved the entire village.

Su Ziyu quickly said, "We still need your help, Divine Physician, back then. However, now is not the time to discuss this matter. Mr. Zhang, may I ask what caused His Majesty's illness?"

Zhang Wenjing paused for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "His Majesty's condition today is naturally due to fluctuating emotions, but if you ask about this illness, it has been present in Yan for some time."

Everyone was stunned again upon hearing this.
It actually existed back in the Yan region!?
Doesn't this mean that His Majesty has been handling state affairs while seriously ill for such a long time?

Su Ziyu then asked, "Where is Her Majesty? Has Her Majesty been concealing her illness?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Wenjing said, "Your Majesty is alright."

Gao Rou immediately said, "How could Your Highness be alright? You and Mr. Mo saw how thin Your Highness had become the other day."

Zhang Wenjing was taken aback. The Empress was indeed fine. Moreover, during that pulse diagnosis, the Empress had told him the truth, saying that she had lost her private stash of money, which was why she was worried.

Although Zhang Wenjing was both amused and exasperated at the time, the Empress was indeed in perfect health.

But right now, we can't say that the Empress lost her private stash of money and was worried about it the other day.

So at that moment, Zhang Wenjing was a little at a loss for words.

Can.
Silence speaks louder than words.

Everyone looked at Zhang Wenjing without saying a word, and suddenly they understood.

His Majesty fell ill in Yan.

The Empress herself suffers from an ailment, but has always maintained a facade of health. Furthermore, Zhang Wenjing remains completely silent about the Empress's condition.
Do you still need to ask?

"This matter must be kept secret and must not be leaked!" Wei Xuancheng immediately said.

Li Jiulang nodded: "There have been many rumors circulating lately. If the outside world finds out that His Majesty and the Empress are both ill!"

Everyone present nodded in agreement.

Zhang Wenjing looked at everyone and asked, "What did I say?"

……

Inside the Lingqi Pavilion.

Xia Fengxiang lay in the hall, looking at Li Xizhi: "Uncle, has Su Ziyu been sent over?"

Li Xizhi immediately replied, "It's been delivered. As you said, Zhang Wenjing is here too."

Xia Fengxiang nodded: "Spread the word that I'm sick."
