Zhu Yuanzhang can't move Lan Yu for the time being, Lan Yu is the most capable general who can lead troops to fight. The frontier has not yet been pacified, and internal worries have to condescend in the face of external troubles.

Lan Yu's matter is not worth mentioning compared to the fact that the crown prince.

As long as the prince can recover from his illness, Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to let Lan Yu go on for two more years.

It's been more than a month, and the prince's health has not only not improved, but has deteriorated.

In addition to giving the diagnosis and treatment results of qi and blood deficiency, the imperial doctors have no new tricks.

The Koreans have already entered the ghost gate for the prince, but can this really be replaced?

The crown prince is the heir of the country and the foundation of the country, and the foundation is crumbling, but he can't do anything.

He has all the options, but he can't change the destiny of heaven.

He watched Ma Xiuying leave him, watched the prince bedridden, and watched himself old and weak, what could he do?

Exhausted to the point of death.

He has been exhausting his reasoning all his life, he carefully guards the philosophies of the sages, and walks in the depths of the sky, but the will of heaven and his mind are always at odds with each other.

The crown prince Zhu Biao was lying on the couch, as if he was awake but not awake, as if he was asleep. His face was as dead as ashes, his eyes slightly closed, and he occasionally twitched suddenly, and occasionally moaned.

Zhu Biao's eldest son, fourteen-year-old Zhu Yunwen accompanied him, crying silently.

He was well-read and knowledgeable, but he had no knowledge of treating his father's illness, and he did not have the talent to cure his father.

In the face of death, no matter how ambitious and strategic people are, they will feel that they are wasted, and no matter how ambitious they are, they will be hollowed out.

Zhu Yunwen raised his slender arm and gently stroked Zhu Biao's chest, hoping to alleviate his pain.

Qingnong stood behind the curtain and frowned, feeling that he had to bear a large part of the responsibility for the prince's illness.

The prince set out from the capital to Xi'an in good health, but when he returned, he was terminally ill. He failed to take good care of the prince and betrayed the prince's trust.

In addition, he also had a cloud of doubts in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.

How could rheuthermia drag down the prince's body? Even if you add that sour and spicy Korean ginseng, you won't be bedridden, right?

He kept recalling the experience of those days, but doubts were doubts, erratic, and confusing.

He could only look at the flowers in the clouds, but he couldn't catch anything.

"Qingnong!" Zhu Biao grunted in his throat, and two words came out.

"Your Highness, if there is anything to be done by a minion, Your Highness will command!" Qingnong hurriedly walked to the curtain, tears in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse and choked.

"Qingnong," Zhu Biao's mouth opened slightly, he wanted to barely squeeze out a smile, but he had more than enough strength to do it, "Don't be sad, in a few days, Bengong's illness will be fine." ”

Zhu Yunwen's tears fell down.

Qingnong knelt in front of the bed, unable to suppress the need to tell his fault. At this time, reproach can make his heart much more comfortable.

"Your Highness, it's all to blame on the minions for not taking good care of Your Highness. His Royal Highness went to Xi'an, only took the slave alone, but when he came back, he fell ill. The minion knew that something must be wrong in the middle, but the minion was stupid and couldn't think of anything! ”

"Don't think about it, people eat whole grains, they will always get sick, what's suspicious? Besides, when Bengong went to Xi'an, and others didn't know that Bengong was the prince, how could they deliberately harm Bengong? ”

Zhu Biao is too kind-hearted and never thinks badly of people.

"But the King of Qin, the King of Jin, and the King of Yan all know that His Royal Highness has gone to Xi'an......"

"Don't talk nonsense! How could Hongu's younger brothers harm Hongu! Zhu Biao tried his best to argue for his younger brothers.

He coughed loudly, his thin chest rising and falling, as if it would be broken at any moment.

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly poked Qingnong with his elbow, shook his head, and motioned for him not to say any more.

Qingnong was at a loss, and Ai Ai said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, slave, slave is wrong, slave, slave is cranky, beg His Highness to punish!" ”

After a long time, Zhu Biao gradually stopped coughing, waved his hand that was not raised high, and said in a voice that was so small that it was almost inaudible: "You must join the joy of qi and do not hurt the friendship of the book." The younger brothers will not harm Hongu. ”

"Father, the Qing guards know, don't worry!" Zhu Yunwen got up and took a glass of water and served Zhu Biao to drink.

"Qingnong, you go and do one thing."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"You go to the Dajin Fu Jade Shop and get a hosta back. This is what the palace set for the crown princess before going to Xi'an...... I forgot about it for a month after I was sick. It's her birthday in a few days......"

Zhu Biao's pale face was filled with tenderness: "Don't let her know, this palace wants to surprise her." ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, the slave will go and get it." Qingnong turned around and walked out of the East Palace and went straight to the Dajin Fu Jade Shop.

The autumn sun hung lazily on the treetops, as if there was no strength to climb another half step.

The leaves hung their heads shyly, waiting for the night to turn yellow and fall silently to the ground.

The occasional passing wind blew the sand into people's eyes unkindly, and Qingnong had no choice but to put one hand in front of his forehead and walk quickly.

He didn't have time to care about the sand and dead leaves all over his body, as long as his eyes could see the way, as long as he could find the Dajin Fu jade shop, he didn't care about anything.

When he arrived at the jade shop, after Qingnong showed his voucher, the jade shop man respectfully handed over a beautiful makeup dowry.

The makeup is carved from white jade, which is exquisitely clear and natural, and there are no traces of splicing.

The bride is carved with a blooming peony, which is the crown princess's favorite flower.

The petals of the peony are layered on top of each other, but they are distinct, and the stamen in the middle stands out, and the pollen on it seems to be erased.

The back of the makeup is engraved with the words "eternal knot and one heart".

Qingnong didn't open the makeup, he expected that the jade shop would not dare to cheat the prince's belongings, so he carefully put the makeup in his arms and turned around and walked out of the jade shop.

A person suddenly rushed out from behind a corner more than a dozen steps away from the jade shop, and he slammed into Qingnong with a sullen head.

Caught off guard, Qingnong stumbled. He hurriedly leaped back and stood firm.

He collided with a short, ugly-looking young man with cross-eyed eyes.

"Yes, I'm sorry, hehe, the villain's eyes are not good, are you okay, adult?"

Qingnong wanted to get angry, but as soon as he heard the other party's apology, he jumped out of the leniency that Chang Nian and the prince had learned: "Be careful in the future, slow down when you turn!" ”

"I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry, and I walked faster. ”

Qingnong no longer paid attention to him, and was about to move forward with his feet raised.

"Brother, don't go yet!" A woman came out of nowhere beside him, "And you, stop!" ”

In order to match the bold title of "brother", she held her throat and spoke roughly.

Qingnong laughed out loud, looking at the woman's delicate face and graceful figure, which really didn't match her voice just now.

"What are you laughing at?" The woman regained her original voice, her voice high and sharp because of annoyance.

"It's nothing, it's just that the voice you just spoke was a little funny." Qingnong told the truth.

"What's so funny about that?" The woman's face was calm, "I'm saving you, you know?" And laughed at me. ”

"Help me?" Qingnong was stunned and asked, "Isn't this okay for me?" ”

The woman snorted and gave him a blank look: "You are good, see if your things are good?" ”

"My stuff? What is it? Qingnong reached out and touched the makeup on his chest, and then put his heart at ease.

The woman gave him another blank look, but Qingnong felt that her white eyes were not annoying, and she was a little cute.

"What you got back from the jade shop! Hold it! The woman grabbed the collar of the cross-eyed.

The cross-eyed screamed, and the two eyeballs hung from the corners of the eyes, as if they wanted to break free and fight with the woman.

Qingnong shrugged his eyebrows and propped up his eyes, he didn't expect that a delicate-looking woman would have such skills.

"What's the matter with him? He's leaving, what do you tell him to do? Qingnong said.

"Shut up! Let you see if your stuff is good and what do you care about other people? The woman was a little irritable about Qingnong's ignorance.

"You let me see if my stuff is good, so what do you care about the others?"

"Do you believe that I picked you up too?"

"Don't believe me, you're shorter than me!"

The woman stretched out her other hand and went to the collar of Chingnon's coat.

Qingnong grabbed the woman's wrist with his backhand. The woman's strength is not small, which is beyond Qingnong's expectations.

But she quickly let go of her hands, as if she had shaken off two hot potatoes.

Cross-eyed spread his legs and ran forward.

The woman crossed her hands on her hips and blocked in front of Qingnong, just in case Qingnong was going to chase the cross-eye.

"You...... The man you captured ran away! "Qingnon is puzzled by the transformation of women, women are a thick book to him, and he has never opened them.

"He's a habitual thief, waiting around the corner to attack the guests who have taken the jade from the jade shop. He bumped into you, right? What you took out of the jade shop is already in his hands! The woman looked gloating.

"My stuff...... It's still there. ”

"Hmph, slap a swollen face and be fat? Originally, I wanted to be a good person, but I didn't expect you to guard me more tightly than thieves, and you dared to grab my wrist! Hahaha, you deserve to have something stolen, I think it must be your daughter-in-law's thing, you wait to go back......"

"Look!" Qingnong held the makeup in front of the woman and said with a smile: "Who can take my things?" ”

Two pink clouds immediately flew up the woman's cheeks.

She frowned, stared, and pursed her lips: "Hmph! Eat less salted fish and have a dry mouth, I, Xu Miaojin, am nosy today! ”

This woman is Xu Miaojin, since she followed Master Mo to Mount Emei, she has seen good mountains and rivers, and she has also tasted the envy of Emei's disciples.

Unfortunately, he was seriously said by the stone, and Mrs. Mo invited Xu Miaojin to Mount Emei as a guest for no reason.

Mo Yi already had a detailed plan in his heart to capture Xu Miaojin's heart.
