Seeing off the crown prince, Emperor Jianwen took the eunuch's hand and got up.

"I want to go."

Pei Zhong sighed busily and asked someone to pass it on. Your Majesty is old, and he is very tired of walking on his own.

However, Emperor Jianwen refused to sit on the throne and still had to go by himself.

The palace in Linjing City is actually not big enough.

It was originally a reconstruction of the other palace, except for the Qingguang Palace, the Shengyuan Palace, and the Sheng'an Hall in front, the back is actually very small.

Of course, if you compare it with the mansion of the courtier's family, it will naturally not be small, but compared with the palace in Shengjing City, it will be pitiful.

Emperor Jianwen actually rarely remembers it. But today, wherever he goes, he seems to recall the past.

The harem in his memory shouldn't be so deserted.

In the past, beautiful little concubines popped up everywhere they went. Whether it is a cold day or a scorching summer, there will be concubines dressed up in flowers.

He held Pei Zhong's hand and walked slowly, thinking about what it should look like.

In today's palace, there are a lot of bamboos and plum blossoms. And the one in Shengjing City is not.

Walking slowly, he asked, "Is that the Dexin Palace?" ”

Pei Zhong hurriedly replied yes.

Emperor Jianwen took his hand and went to the Dexin Palace.

Concubine De hurriedly greeted her, she really didn't expect that His Majesty was coming.

Your Majesty has ...... I haven't been here for years.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is late to greet you, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." Concubine De was busy with the ceremony.

After not sleeping for many years, she actually doesn't pay attention to herself as much as she used to.

Today is just a purple dress and a simple comb of hair.

Emperor Jianwen smmmmed for a moment, raised his hand to make a false gesture, and led the way into the hall.

Concubine De followed, she thought, Your Majesty may not have seen her clearly, or maybe, she is really old and not good-looking.

"I remember, your surname is Zhou?" Emperor Jianwen said suddenly.

Concubine De paused, but still explained: "The concubine's mother's surname is Lin, but the concubine has not told Your Majesty for many years, and Your Majesty doesn't remember." ”

"Oh, Lin." Emperor Jianwen thought for a while: "Lin Meiren." I'm not mistaken, I remember that there was a Zhou Meiren who lived with you before, didn't I? ”

"Exactly, concubines, etc...... Where I lived back then, there were several sisters, one of whom entered the palace three years earlier than the concubine, and it was Zhou Meiren. Concubine De replied, but wondered in her heart, what happened to Your Majesty today?

"And then? What about Zhou Meiren? Emperor Jianwen asked.

Concubine De's heart was beating hard, and she was very scared.

still replied: "Zhou Meiren is not blessed...... I went early. ”

Zhou Meiren, didn't she die in that disaster?

Except for a few who came out, didn't they all die at the hands of the Ta people, Your Majesty actually forgot......

"Oh." Emperor Jianwen answered and didn't speak for a long time.

His face was wrinkled, and his eyes were squinted, which was already very weak, and he looked very frightened.

Concubine De subconsciously knelt down.

After a long time, Emperor Jianwen said, "What are you doing on your knees?" Arise, you who have a big holiday. I'm here to see you. ”

Concubine De answered yes and got up.

Emperor Jianwen looked around, but he couldn't see it clearly, and then got up: "I went back first." Come back when you're empty. ”

Concubine De hurriedly sent him off and sent him away, but she breathed a sigh of relief.

If you want to talk about harem concubines, who doesn't expect the king to come often?

But now, Concubine De doesn't care anymore.

Do you want to come...... It's all the same. Even in this harem. No one envied her.

She is already Concubine De, the highest-ranking woman in the harem......

If you want to talk about comparison, everyone is the same, no children, no daughters, no support. What else is there to do? Anyway, even if His Majesty comes, who can still get pregnant?

Emperor Jianwen returned to the Sheng'an Temple, felt tired, and went to lie down.

And when the prince returned home, he also lay down.

The difference is that in the evening, Emperor Jianwen also got up to eat and talk.

And the prince, this sleep can't wake up.

It wasn't until the next morning, when it was time to go to court, that he opened his eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I didn't feel like I had a long sleep, but a sense of powerlessness.

It's not exhaustion, it's not sleepiness, it's weakness.

It seems that this sleep took away most of his spirit.

What's more, he didn't have much energy in the first place.

However, he still had to drag this weak body to the court. He knew that his situation had been spread quite a bit now, so he didn't dare to speculate anymore.

Always...... Be the one who shows up often.

The prince had been ill for a long time, so the whole Zao Dynasty sat there and didn't speak much.

And no matter how the courtiers looked at it, they couldn't see anything.

The prince had been like this for many years, pale, emaciated, and emaciated.

Nowadays, even if you add a change word, it is actually still the same.

Not unusual.

Maybe it's because of the harsh winter. The crowd thought so.

Of course, some people know what they really want, and they know that the prince is just holding on.

In other words, it is also a mockery. Some people hope that the prince will get better. Then live healthy for decades.

But most people are looking forward to the prince's life, and then, so that they can develop their ambitions.

No matter what, the prince is still like this, and he will attend the whole month of La, when the court meeting is held.

It's just that it's getting thinner and paler every time.

It wasn't until after the new year that the court meeting was stopped, and he couldn't get out of bed at all.

Until now, this news can no longer be hidden from Pei Heng. Pei Jue asked Wei Ling to pass the word, and finally told his younger brother about his short life.

When Pei Heng got the news, it was the same as the gap in the war.

The Ta people obviously don't want to let them have a good New Year in Zuozhou, even in the cold winter and wax moon, it seems that they are desperate.

The recent momentum has been even stronger than before.

Pei Heng looked at the thin piece of paper, and was stunned on the spot.

Eldest brother...... Can't do it anymore?

It was also at this time that Ning Zhi told Pei Heng about his plan.

Pei Heng's brain was blank, but he still had to continue to fight the enemy. Even for the next whole day, he killed the enemy with a blank head.

More courageous than usual.

He thought, after so many people have died, why do you have to continue? Why can't it be stopped?

Everyone is human, so why do we have to kill each other?

But he couldn't figure it out, so he just waved his long sword and continued to harvest the Ta people who pounced on him.

Ning Zhi finally moved with the flying blade.

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ning Zhi and Flying Blade took the garrison of Gulang Town, passed through Nanling City, and arrived at Jizhou City on the night of the 27th.

Because of Ning Jiang's arrangement early in the morning, when Ning Zhi passed, he was not hindered.

She just showed the Nine Dragons Pei, and without saying much, General Liu let him go.

At the same time, she was followed by two thousand people arranged by Ning Jiang, led by Chu Tianhua and Cui Zhi.

From Jizhou City to Linjing, it takes a day's journey. They traveled all night, and the next morning they reached the border.
