In the main courtyard of Ning Yiyuan, Zhou An and the others came out of the house, and after closing the door, they all walked away.

You can't eavesdrop on the conversation between the empress and Kang Longji, so you have to stand farther away.

Zhou An looked at the door speechlessly, his face was very worried.

He was genuinely worried.

I'm worried that something is going on with Kanglongji!

This time it came down too suddenly, why did Kang Longji suddenly walk and wrestle? Can it be that the legs are numb when you go to the toilet? I don't know how much Kang Longji's physical condition has deteriorated.

Zhou An is afraid, if Kang Longji suddenly fails, if it is extreme, he will die in a few days, the consequences will be unimaginable!

If Wu Xukuan knew that Kang Longji had such a big problem with his body, or Kang Longji was dead and the news of his death was not hidden, then Wu Xukuan would have directly rebelled!

The biggest obstacle to Wu Xukuan's direct rebellion by force was actually Kang Longji.

It is precisely because of the existence of Kang Longji that Wu Xukuan is not sure that he will capture the empress alive when he rebels, if he can't capture the empress alive, whether the empress dies or escapes, it will cause unimaginable trouble to Wu Xukuan.

Especially the empress can escape, this is the fundamental reason why Wu Xukuan didn't dare to do it, the empress ran away, ran to other places and raised her arms and shouted, the whole world will crusade against him Wu Xukuan, Wu Xukuan He will be finished.

And Kang Longji is the guarantee that the empress can escape when the catastrophe comes.

But if Kang Longji can't do it, he will die.

How can the empress run?

Wu Xukuan rebelled, he wanted to capture the empress alive, who could stop Wu Xukuan? !

……

Inside the house.

"Grandpa Kang, tell me the truth, how long can your body last?" The empress looked at Kang Longji's eyes and said, there was no one around, the empress's title for Kang Longji also changed from Kang Gong to Grandpa Kang, and she didn't call herself Kang Longji anymore.

The private relationship between the two is actually that of grandfather and granddaughter, which is not too much.

It's like Princess Yunjing to Kang Longji, but she has never changed her words, and she has always been called Grandpa Kang.

And the empress, because she ascended the throne and became the emperor, her words and deeds must conform to the emperor's majesty, so she can't call people indiscriminately.

"The long is half a year, and the short is two or three months......" Kang Longji told the empress the truth, as the great master of the Tiangang Realm, he was very aware of his physical condition, he was completely because of old age, and his body began to decay, which was irreversible.

"Two or three months?" The empress was startled, and her face became very ugly.

In other words, Kang Longji is likely not to survive this winter.

The empress's counterattack against Wu Xukuan has just begun.

If you want to completely defeat the traitorous party and eradicate Wu Xukuan in just two or three months, it is too late, and it can even be said that there is no chance at all, Wu Xukuan is now occupying a huge advantage, and what the empress needs is a big reversal.

This is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

"Grandpa Kang, do you think it is still possible for Yun Zhao to protect this country?" At this moment, the empress actually had an extremely pessimistic idea, she called herself Yun Zhao, this was the title she had when she was a princess, just like Princess Yunjing would call herself Yunjing.

"Nothing is impossible!" Kang Longji appeased the empress and said: "Saint, you must not lose your heart, no matter how strong Wu Xu's power is, the hearts of the people in the world are still towards you...... The old slave can't be with you for long, but there is no one around you, and you still have many opportunities......"

The empress had red eyes and a bitter face.

She got up suddenly, and it was difficult for her to paced back and forth calmly.

The pressure was already surging towards her like a tsunami.

Kang Longji shared too much pressure for her before, and now, although Kang Longji is not dead, the empress already knows that Kang Longji is afraid that he will not be able to live to the day when Wu Xukuan is eradicated, so as long as the empress thinks about the future, she will know how difficult it will be in the future.

The Empress kept pacing.

Long.

"Grandpa Kang, what do you think, how is Xiao Anzi?" The empress turned to look at Kang Longji and asked.

He ...... Young but capable, although very crazy, arrogant and bold, but also has a careful side, doing things very safely, some of the demeanor seems to be excessive, in fact, looking back, there are deep meanings, he is very capable! Kang Longji gave Zhou An a high evaluation.

"Loyalty? Is it good? The empress asked again.

"Holy Lord, you must know that people's hearts will change, even if it is an old slave, he has also changed his heart, and the old slave is ashamed of Emperor Sejong, but the old slave is worthy of his heart...... Now you ask the old slave if Xiao Anzi is loyal and good, and the old slave can tell you whether he is loyal or good, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future, you are the emperor, you should try to grasp the hearts of the people......"

Kang Longji's words, although not a cautionary maxim, are also thought-provoking.

Kang Longji used his own life experience to tell the empress that people's hearts will change, and the loyalty and kindness at this time do not represent the future.

Speaking of Kang Longji, we all know that he has served four generations of emperors and won the trust of four generations of emperors.

But in fact, Kang Longji also had a betrayal.

It is related to the enthronement of the Empress of Shendu as the emperor, Kang Longji violated the trust of Emperor Sejong during his lifetime, and after his death, he did not protect the crown prince and ascend the throne, but supported the then Empress Xiaodun and helped her ascend the throne as the empress of Shendu.

******

There were dozens of people in the courtyard, and it took nearly half an hour for the empress to open the door.

Kang Longji wanted to send the empress outside the house, but the empress didn't let him.

"The Holy Lord drove back to the palace!" Zhou An screamed, and then followed everyone to leave the Qianli Palace with the empress, and the empress was very silent along the way, but it could still be seen from her face that Kang Longji's situation was really bad.

Along the way, he accompanied the empress back to the courtyard of the Qianwu Palace.

Everyone else dispersed.

In the end, it was Zhou An and Kou Dong'er who accompanied the empress.

The empress and Kou Dong'er entered the dormitory, while Zhou An stayed outside and continued to watch the empress at night.

It was fast in the middle of the night.

The lights in the palace have long been extinguished, and the empress has been sleeping peacefully for a long time.

Zhou An is still like a ghost, jumping up and down in the yard, swaying left and right, Kang Longji's rapid deterioration of physical condition has actually brought him a lot of pressure, but unfortunately practice is not an overnight thing, and Zhou An has no ability to step into the Tiangang realm in a short period of time.

He can only be more diligent, try to make himself stronger, and prepare as much as possible for the catastrophe that may occur after Kang Longji's death in the future.

"Grandpa Kang—" An exclamation suddenly came from inside the dormitory.

It was the voice of the Empress.

Zhou An stopped dancing his sword, just looked at the gate of the dormitory, and did not speak.

He knew that the empress was having nightmares again.

Candlelight soon lit up again in the dormitory, and Kou Dong'er whispered to reassure the empress.

After a while.

"Xiao Anzi, can you be outside?" The empress's voice came from inside the palace.

"The minions are here." Zhou An replied and walked quickly to the door.

"Come in and talk." Empress Dao.

"Yes." Zhou An responded, gently pushed the door open, and stepped in.

This is the second time that Zhou An has entered the empress's bedroom late at night to talk, but he doesn't know what the empress wants to say this time.
