In the afternoon of the same day, Gan Yingting, who had been in the palace for three months, packed up her things and left with the maid Xiu'er.

At the same time, Wei Li arranged for someone to take the eldest wife of the Gan family into Songhe Courtyard.

Since it was ordered by King Liang, the eldest wife of the Gan family naturally complied, otherwise their family would not be able to live here.

Ayu heard about the things in Songhe Courtyard that afternoon, and knew that the man had driven the fifth lady back, thinking of going there to ask if she wanted to add two confidants, but how did she know that the news of Concubine Zhuang's illness came the next day.

Now Ayu had to go, and at the same time she also notified Concubine Han and Concubine Su.

The three of them brought a group of maids and slaves over, but Concubine Zhuang said that she was sick and did not see anyone at all.

If you don't see it, you won't see it, Concubine Han pouted and quickly replied.

Concubine Su also smiled, and said to Ayu before leaving, "Concubine Bai doesn't have to worry, I see that there are a lot of people around the old lady, and if you really have something, you will come to the court." ”

"That's what Sister Su said."

Ayu also knew that Concubine Zhuang was vomiting, she had done everything she had to do, and she would naturally follow her later.

The two of them also left soon after the other.

In the wing room, Concubine Zhuang listened to the report of her subordinates and waved her hand to let people go down.

She was lying on the bed now, her face was a little pale, she was really sick.

The news of Concubine Zhuang's illness soon reached Wei Li's ears, and he didn't go over, so he arranged for Doctor Cao Liang to go over and take a look, and sent some good tonics.

The Gan family's affairs were done in a hurry, and almost all of them were decided in less than a month.

At this time, Concubine Zhuang, who had been ill intermittently for more than half a month, proposed to go to Xiangfan Temple outside the city to eat fasting and pray Buddha.

That day, she made a special trip to call Ayu over and took the initiative to mention it.

"I have been sick for most of the month and always sleep unsteadily, from time to time I think of the emperor, my heart is uncomfortable, I think I still have to go to the temple to pray for blessings, my old bones can be fully healed."

I called myself over early in the morning, and it turned out that I was mentioning this.

Ayu didn't expect her to propose to go to the temple to eat fasting and chant Buddha, and said with a smile, "Old lady, it's naturally no problem for you to have this heart, but the outside is not as good as the house, and there are many places to take care of the environment and food and clothing." Why don't I tell Your Highness, let him split a Buddha hall behind your courtyard and invite the Bodhisattva to the mansion, so that you don't have to suffer outside. ”

Ayu felt that it was not good for this person to go out, and it was really troublesome if something happened.

Concubine Zhuang seemed to have made up her mind, shook her head and said, "This is different, what kind of suffering is it to suffer in front of the Bodhisattva, it is useless to ask for anything if you are not sincere." Besides, the Bodhisattva can invite if he wants, and those things that set up a Buddha hall in the courtyard are just for show. ”

Concubine Zhuang also closed her hands when she spoke, feeling like worshipping the Buddha.

I wanted to persuade her, but it turned out to be boring, Ayu glanced at the tea cup beside her, and said with a smile, "In this way, wait for the concubine to inform His Highness and see how he arranges." ”

has the identity of an adoptive mother, and Ayu is still very respectful to her in words, at least she can't find fault.

"Good boy, go ahead."

In the past half a month of illness, Concubine Zhuang's spirit has not been good, and gray hair has been added to her head.

She waved her hand, and Ayu led the people down.

Out of Songhe Courtyard, Ayu did not go back, but went to Mingxi Courtyard.

The man is very busy these days, he didn't come back for lunch several times, and he went out of the city two days ago, and only returned last night.

Concubine Zhuang couldn't decide that Concubine Zhuang was going out, thinking that she would let the man know as soon as possible, and she hadn't been here for a long time.

The people of Mingxi Courtyard saw her respectfully welcome to King Liang's study, Zhou Jin was there, and when they saw her coming, they lifted the curtain.

"Niangniang, go in, Your Highness is inside."

"Grandpa Xie."

Ayu was still polite to Zhou Jin, she bent down and went in, and saw the man standing in front of the desk, staring at a map.

"Your Highness."

Ayu saluted and walked away slowly.

"Why are you here?"

Wei Li tilted his head and smiled at the woman, with a soft light in his eyes.

The New Year's woman has turned sixteen, her appearance has grown a lot, and her body is much taller, but her face is still round, which has not changed.

"Come and see you."

Ayu stepped forward to pour a basket of hot tea for the man, and when she saw a plate of sour jujube cake on the desk, she had a great appetite, so she picked it up and tasted it.

Wei Li glanced at her unexpectedly, don't women usually like this sour jujube cake very much, but today it is abnormal.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Seeing him staring at him, Ayu wiped his mouth and smiled.

"No, I might, I'm going to go out, a trip."

Wei Li's face was solemn, and he turned his head to look at the map on the table again.

"What? Is the war burning outside again? ”

Ayu leaned over, and when she heard that the man was leaving, she couldn't help but feel anxious, it was always bad to feel without him by her side.

"Hmm."

"This time, maybe, there will be some, for a long time."

Wei Li sat on the chair and gently pulled the woman down.

"I'm leaving, you're here, okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, you can't drag your family to the barracks to accompany you, it's just that I'm a little worried about you."

Ayu hung her head, scratching the dark lines on the placket of the man's clothes, she was actually a little afraid of the previous encounter.

"I won't, there's something."

Wei Li grabbed her little hand and pressed the person to her chest.

"By the way, Your Highness, the old lady came to me before, saying that she wanted to go to the Xiangfan Temple outside the city to pray for blessings. I have already persuaded her, and I also proposed to build a Buddhist hall in her courtyard, but she did not listen and insisted on going out. ”

Ayu also lay on the man's chest for a while, then got up and told Concubine Zhuang about it.

"To the Fan Temple?"

Ayu nodded, she had heard of that temple, it was a long time ago, it was an ancient temple, the incense was not bad, and it was also the largest temple in Liangzhou.

"In this matter, I will let people investigate first, and then decide."

As long as there are no demon moths, she will go if she likes, Wei Li thought that she would want it, and the backyard was quiet, which also saved women from bothering.

"Okay."

*****

Wei Li said that he would leave, and did not stay in the mansion for a few days, and the war broke out on the Binshan side.

On the Huzhou side, the queen and the prince's people were in full swing, attacking one and defending the other, and they had been deadlocked for several months.

Queensland, which was able to breathe, gathered tens of thousands of horses from the border cities to form an army of nearly 200,000, broke through Tongzhou again, and approached Binshan.

Wei Yu personally commanded the whole army to attack Binshan, and Bai Ying, who led the order to resist in the past, was also injured by the arrow feather, and in just a few days, Binshan lost two cities and an important pass.

In order not to lose the support of the people he had just gained, Wei Li ordered not to retreat, and to hold on until the people withdrew.

The order was sent to the war zone by Mr. Shui and Zhou Jin, and at the same time, they also brought the city defense map drawn by Wei Li himself.

The one-sided battle was finally alleviated, but there were many people on the other side, and although the garrison on the Binshan side had also recruited nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in the past half a year, it was quite difficult to deal with it.

Now Wei Li is leaving, go over there to preside over the overall situation.

Before leaving, he agreed with Concubine Zhuang's suggestion and sent someone to send her out of the city to Fan Temple.
