"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

A call sounded in the darkness, and Qin Gong Ying Shixi's eyes slowly opened.

After experiencing the initial burst of dazzling light, Ying Shixi felt that his eyes were gradually becoming clearer. At this time, a familiar face appeared in his field of vision.

Ying Shixi tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and slowly raised his weak right hand, gently touching the face that was full of worry at the moment.

"How did you come?"

"Your Majesty is like this, how can I not come?"

Looking at Ying Shixi on the couch in front of her, especially his face that clearly showed weakness, Mrs. Qin's face was full of worry.

Following his example, she touched his face with her right hand and felt the mottled touch from her palm. The tears in Mrs. Qin's eyes could no longer be stopped.

As tears slowly flowed down her cheeks, I heard Mrs. Qin say half-complainingly, half-heartedly: "I know that state affairs are important, but your Majesty must also take care of your own body. If it were you..."

Listening to the chanting in his ears and looking at the person in front of him who had been with him for decades, Ying Shixi was only moved in his heart.

His right hand slowly came back from her face, and he gently pressed the right hand on his face, and heard Ying Shixi's words of relief.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Feeling the warmth coming from the back of her hand, Mrs. Qin looked at Ying Shixi in front of her, and the worry on her face slightly weakened.

"Then please have a good rest, Your Majesty..."

Before Mrs. Qin finished speaking, a burst of footsteps appeared behind the two of them, and then a report was heard.

"Report to your Majesty, please go to the doctor to see me."

"No." The report from the palace man behind him had just finished, but before Ying Shixi could speak, Mrs. Qin's rejection rang out.

And just when the palace man bowed down to accept the order and was about to go to reject the request of the senior doctor Qianlong for an audience, the somewhat weak voice of Ying Shixi behind him stopped him.

"Wait a minute."

After seeing the palace man stop, Ying Shixi looked at Mrs. Qin Gong who was sitting beside him, and a look of embarrassment slowly appeared on his face.

"Madam, now the Qin State is encountering a catastrophe, but I, the king, have to stand up."

While Ying Shixi was speaking, Mrs. Qin Gong remained silent, her eyes just watching him silently.

After he finished saying this, seeing the anxious look on his face, Mrs. Qin's heart finally softened.

She didn't know how many times in the past few decades she had been as soft-hearted as she was today, but she knew that this time might not be the last time.

"well……"

A helpless sigh came out of Mrs. Qin's mouth, and her right hand tightly held Ying Shixi's right hand.

"Your Majesty!"

In just this gentle call, all that Mrs. Qin wanted to express was already contained in it, and everything was left unsaid.

After a moment, the figure of Qin Gong's wife disappeared into the hall, and the senior doctor Qian Long appeared in front of Qin Gong Ying Shixi.

"My lord, Qianlong, pays homage to your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Lying on the couch and gently supporting him, Ying Shixi looked at Qianlong in front of him and said, "Does your Majesty already know about the battle on the Hexi front line?"

"Your Majesty, I have read the battle report."

After bowing and replying to Master Ying Xi, Qianlong's mind began to recall the contents recorded on the battle report he had just read.

In Qianlong's view, as the commander-in-chief, Zhang Yu actually did not make many mistakes in this Hexi battle.

Whether the troops were divided into three groups in the early stage to attack various cities in Hexi, or the main force was gathered later to besiege Shaoliang City, Wei's fortress in Hexi, it can be said that it was a correct choice based on the war.

If Zhang Xiu or the entire Qin State did something wrong, it would be that they underestimated the combat power of the Wei State.

It was precisely because of this mistake that led to the disastrous defeat of the Qin army outside Shaoliang, and also led to the predicament that Qin is facing today.

It's really just one careless move and you lose everything.

After pondering, Qianlong brought his thoughts back to his mind, and said in a deep voice to Ying Shixi: "I am reporting to you, Your Majesty, I believe that the war on the Hexi front line has been ruined to this point, and the Qin State must prepare as quickly as possible.

Already?"

"Do you mean to go to the doctor?"

After listening to Qianlong's words, Ying Shixi's eyes suddenly showed a bit of solemnity, and his weak body immediately gave some reaction.

"Cough cough cough..."

Seeing Master Ying Xi like this, Qianlong immediately stepped forward with some worry, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Ying Shixi endured the discomfort coming from his body at this moment, and with difficulty motioned Qianlong to continue, "It's all right, doctor, continue."

"Here."

Although he was extremely worried in his heart, Ying Shixi insisted on doing so, and Qianlong could only bow down and accept the order.

After bowing slightly, Qianlong continued to say: "The Hexi front line is defeated, and the Luoshui defense line will definitely be unstable; once the Luoshui is lost, the Wei army can march straight in."

"To report to your Majesty, I believe that our army should prepare early. The Wei army may attack Yueyang City at any time."

After listening to Qianlong's words, Ying Shixi slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, his face was full of pain.

A few months ago, he sent off his army in high spirits to Hexi, thinking that he could defeat the Wei army and regain the land that once belonged to Qin;

A few months later, he could only lie on this couch, preparing to meet the front of the Wei army that might arrive at any time.

This is a huge gap. Even though Ying Shixi has gone through ups and downs in the first half of his life, it is still difficult to accept it now.

There was silence in the hall for a long time. Ying Shixi slowly opened his eyes and looked at Qianlong solemnly.

"Lieyang is the capital of our Qin Kingdom and cannot be lost easily. The battle of Yueyang is of great importance. If I leave it to others, I won't worry about it. I'll have to ask the doctor for this matter."

"I will do my best to ensure that nothing happens to Yueyang."

Just when Qianlong solemnly accepted the matter, something appeared in his mind.

"Your Majesty, I remember that Young Master Quliang is still in Linzi at this moment. If Qi State can send troops, there may be a chance to save the war situation."

…

At this moment, the young master Ying Quliang, who was highly anticipated by the superior doctor Qianlong, was pacing anxiously in a room in Linzi City.

"Sir, several months have passed and Qi State still has not sent troops. Qi Gong also claimed to be ill a few days ago. What should Quliang do at this moment?"

Looking at Ying Quliang, whose face was full of anxiety at this moment, Zheng Sheng, who was sitting in front of him, also felt anxious in his heart.

After all, it had been several months since their group came to Linzi from Qin State, and except for a verbal promise from Qi State, they had received nothing.

No one who has experienced this kind of experience will have peace of mind.

However, no matter how anxious Zheng Sheng was at this moment, he would not show it in front of Ying Quliang.

He still maintained that calm look on his face, and then he heard Zheng Sheng say in a deep voice: "Young master, don't worry, Qi Gong's declaration of illness may have a deeper meaning."

Just as Zheng Sheng finished speaking, a loud report sounded outside the door.

"I would like to inform you that the Duke of Qi has sent an envoy to invite you to the palace. I don't know how to reply?"
