"I want to vomit!" Li Can's face turned pale, and he rushed to the bed with his hand covering his heart.
"Someone is coming!"
Zhao Zong called Tanggao and others to come in.
"girl!"
Tanggao knelt on the ground, holding a copper basin, and looked at Li Can worriedly.
Li Can was so dizzy from vomiting that his tears rolled down his face. It was so uncomfortable.
Zhao Ye kept patting her on the back to comfort her.
Candy held a cup of water and rinsed Li Can's mouth. The others cleaned up the room, bowed their heads and retreated out.
"Tang Cake, please keep the candy overnight." Zhao Zong ordered.
The two of them agreed to stay and handed over the things in their hands to others for disposal.
Li Can squinted his eyes and rested for a moment, then hurriedly got out of bed to go out.
She suffered from vomiting and diarrhea for most of the night, and when she fell asleep again, it was already broad daylight.
"Your Highness." Wu Zai brought breakfast in and asked in a low voice: "Feng Qing said that everyone is ready. Can Your Highness take action?"
"Let them check around first to see if there is anything wrong with this place." Zhao Zong turned around and looked at Li Can who was sleeping on the bed: "Over at the government office, don't be alarmed yet. Wait a few days and then check again.
.”
"Yes, I'm going to pass on the message, little one." Wu Zai lowered his head and retreated.
When Li Can was ill, Zhao Ji stayed by his bedside for three days, putting aside all other matters.
On the fourth day, Li Can's health improved. He held Zhao Zong's hand and felt very sorry: "Brother Zeyu, I'm sorry, did my illness delay a lot of your things? It's all my fault that I'm not in good health."
Zhao Xie took a cup of water to feed her and said calmly: "This time I am already very successful."
Li Can smiled: "Yes."
After running around with Zhao Zhen and learning to ride horses, archery, make fires, and cook, her body and bones are indeed much stronger than before.
If he had traveled such a long distance with his old body, he would probably have been sick along the way.
She touched her stomach: "I'm a little hungry."
She hasn't had much water or rice in three days.
Zhao Hao called Wu Zao and brought in porridge.
Li Can looked at the porridge and frowned: "I want to eat something meaty."
"Use some cushion first." Zhao Xie picked a spoonful of porridge and blew on it, then tried it on his lips and fed it to her: "I'll take you to the market later to get some fresh air."
Li Can was reluctant to open her mouth at first, but when she heard that he wanted to take her to the market, she suddenly became interested and obediently opened her mouth and took a mouthful of porridge: "Can we go after eating?"
"Yeah." Zhao Zhen nodded.
"Your Highness," Wu Zao reminded in a low voice, "Those two people are still guarding the door."
"Ignore it." Zhao Zhi didn't care.
"Who?" Li Can looked at him curiously.
"People from the Chuzhou government office." Zhao Gao took another mouthful of porridge.
"Why are the people in the government office staring at us?" Li Can blinked: "Maybe they know your identity?"
"It depends on the situation." Zhao Zhen shook his head: "It seems that he is guarding against people coming from the Imperial Capital."
"There must be some great secret in this place." Li Can said firmly.
"Go out later and observe carefully." Zhao Zong said, "Come back and tell me if you noticed anything wrong."
"Taking care of me again." Li Can muttered in a low voice.
Zhao Ye didn't say anything and fed her another mouthful of porridge.
When the two of them left the residence, Zhao Ji didn't look sideways and whispered to Li Can about the two people he was following.
Li Can pretended to be careless and looked around at the two people. As expected, the two men had guilty consciences. After seeing them come out, they turned around, one pretending to pass by and the other pretending to look at the things on the bunk next to them.
"Will they follow?"
After leaving the residence and walking for a while, he asked Zhao Zong in a low voice.
"We don't know yet." Zhao Zhen replied in a low voice.
Li Can looked around at the street. This place was really far worse than the Imperial City. There were no conspicuous Huanmen Cailou in the shops, and there were not many vendors on the road. The wind was strong, and the ground was full of wind and sand, giving it an indescribable feeling of desolation.
"I never followed." Zhao Zhi told her in a low voice.
"Then they're not staring at us?" Li Can was puzzled.
If you were targeting them, why didn't you follow them?
"Yes, from the day we moved into the residence, there were people taking turns guarding the door." Zhao Zong said in a determined tone.
"What should we do?" Li Can was worried.
"Be still first." Zhao Zhi held her hand and walked slowly on the market.
Li Can looked around east and west, but felt that nothing she saw was to her liking. Most of the things here were too rough, and there were some fine things, but she was not interested.
As she walked down the street, she always felt a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange, so she kept frowning and thinking.
Zhao Ye looked around and said nothing.
"Brother Zeyu, let's go back." Li Can looked around: "There doesn't seem to be anything interesting here."
"Yeah." Zhao Zhi let her go.
Returning to the residence, Li Can saw the two people who were following them from a distance. She pretended not to know and followed Zhao Ge into the gate of the residence.
"I thought of it!"
She thought hard all the way and finally figured out what was wrong.
Zhao Ye looked sideways at her.
"Brother Zeyu, let's go back to the guest room quickly, I'm telling you." Li Can pulled him and quickly went upstairs.
"The most wrong thing about this place is that there are no young men!" Li Can closed the door, leaned against it and spoke.
Zhao Zhen sat down on the chair.
Li Can followed and continued: "I just saw that on that street, all the storekeepers and waiters are very old, and those selling snacks and gadgets on the street are mostly women and children.
Many of them were women taking care of their children. In the Imperial City, it was all men's work.
Where have all the men here gone?"
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhao Xi: "Brother Ze Yu, is there any big conspiracy here? Is it possible that if you know the affairs of the Chuzhou military government, you have secretly amassed troops and want to rebel?"
Knowing that Chuzhou Military Affairs Liu Ben was in charge of the entire Chuzhou City, he had the final say over the entire Chuzhou.
Apart from this, she couldn't think of anyone or anything else that could bring together all the men in the city.
"We can't make a final conclusion on this matter yet." Zhao Xie looked at her: "Yes, I can see something is wrong at a glance."
"Brother Zeyu already knew this?" Li Can sat down against him.
"Yes." Zhao Zong nodded: "Not only that, according to investigation, the same situation is also the case in Zhuangzi outside Chuzhou City. No young and middle-aged men are in the village."
"How many people are there?" Li Can was surprised and said: "Do we need to report this to His Majesty? Let Your Majesty send troops?"
There are many guards in Chuzhou, plus all the sons and daughters, so even if Zhao Ji brings two groups of people, he has to make preparations in advance.
"Find out the situation first and then talk." Zhao Zong replied calmly.
"Your Highness, Feng Qing and Yue Ming are back." Wu Zai knocked on the door outside.
"Let Feng Qing come in." Zhao Zong ordered.
"Your Highness, girl." Feng Qing walked in and saluted.
"How?" Zhao Zhi asked.
"My subordinates have tried it." Feng Qing lowered his head and replied: "All the official roads leading out of the city are guarded by people until they leave Chuzhou.
There is no other way but for my subordinates to sneak away from the fields to the village for what they used yesterday."
"But what did you ask?" Zhao Zong looked at him calmly.
"No." Feng Qing shook his head, with a look of shame on his face: "The people in Zhuangzi are just like the people in the city, they talk very tightly.
The subordinates only asked three people, and they vigilantly drove the subordinates out of Zhuangzi.
The situation at Yueming is similar to that of my subordinates."
"Go down, I'll go and see for myself tomorrow." Zhao Zhen waved his hand and gave the order.
"Yes." Feng Qing withdrew.
"What do you think about this?" Zhao Zong looked at Li Can.
Li Can thought for a moment and said: "With such a tight defense, Liu Ben must be hiding a big secret, and the people are helping him like this, which shows that he treats the people well and is good at winning people's hearts.
In this case, we can only let him get into trouble and catch him off guard, and then we can wait for the opportunity to act."
