In the blink of an eye, winter is on, the weather is as cold as a day, and it is the end of the year, and many feasts need to be prepared. Mingzhu felt lonely, so he invited An Xiaogu and his sister-in-law to bring the children to the Regent's Mansion to barbecue and eat together.

Halfway through, An Xiaogu took Mingzhu's hand and invited her to go with her, Princess Huayang laughed at the two of them: "Why don't you two wear a pair of pants?" How long has it been since we've seen each other? It's convenient to go together. ”

An Xiaogu smiled: "We are happy, what do you want?" Hee-hee-ha pulled Mingzhu and ran away, avoiding the crowd and Mingzhu said: "When I came, I saw Ji Hui's subordinate on the street, it was the Ji Feng who shot your carriage with an arrow, and drove a carriage out of the city, I was curious, let people chase after it, and guess what, it was Ji Hui in the car." There are palace attendants who chased them all the way outside the city, stopped the car and pulled the horse to toss for a long time, and then Ji Hui came forward in person and took a pair of scissors to his neck before he got away. What the hell is going on with her and Your Majesty? Your Majesty won't chase people back, will you? ”

"Now that you're gone, Your Majesty won't chase it anymore." Mingzhu told her what she knew: "At that time, the truth was revealed, and the fourth brother and I both guessed how she would deal with this matter." It seems that His Majesty persuaded her to give up the child, and her nurse persuaded her every day, she said at first that she wanted to think about it, but then she refused, saying that she would be born and raised by herself, and whoever persuaded her again would be her enemy. The child was indeed carefully raised, and I only thought she was going to live in Beijing for a long time, but I didn't expect her to leave. ”

An Xiaogu sighed: "It's really a sin, I didn't ask you when I was afraid that you would be upset, how did she deal with that person?" ”

"Killed." Mingzhu said lightly: "Anyone has to be killed, she didn't see that person, she asked through the door what happened at the time, and after confirming it, she asked Ji Feng to kill the person." ”

An Xiaogu shook his head: "This is really ...... Forget it, let's not mention this matter, you know that Your Highness has won the battle again, right? ”

Mingzhu smiled a little: "I know." ”

An Xiaogu smiled: "Can His Highness come back for the New Year?" ”

Mingzhu shook her head: "Listen to my father, I'm afraid not." ”

The army of the imperial court has crossed the tail water to the north and gradually advanced, without the support of the Xiongnu iron cavalry, the king of Zhongshan is like being cut off an arm, he was once proud of the north subway horse, met Yu Wenchu carefully built heavy cavalry, the advantage is no longer, can only be defeated and retreated, before and after the beginning of winter it withdrew from the goose ridge, the imperial army recaptured the goose ridge after the implementation of the policy of opening up the wasteland and the garrison, ready to fight steadily, continue to advance.

According to Fu Cong's analysis, this may be a protracted war, after all, the king of Zhongshan has been operating in the north for decades, and his subordinates are all composed of people from the north, the people of the north are fierce, brave and good at fighting, almost half of the people are involved in this rebellion, I am afraid that they will fight to the death, this bone is extremely difficult to gnaw.

Originally, Mingzhu was looking forward to Yu Wenchu coming back for the New Year, but now she doesn't count on it. I just hope that he can be safe, that the war can go smoothly, and that his father can survive this winter safely.

Thinking of Fu Cong's illness, Mingzhu's originally good mood became heavy again, and after the winter, Fu Cong's illness became worse day by day, and Jiang Zhouzi tried his best to no avail. I just said that I know the destiny of heaven as much as I can, and maybe I can survive this winter for a while, but if I can't survive it......

An Xiaogu saw that Mingzhu's face was not good-looking, and guessed that she thought of Fu Cong's illness again, so she hugged her comfortingly: "If you are happy every day, your uncle's mood will be very good, and if you are in a good mood, your illness will be better." ”

Mingzhu cheered up: "Who says it's not?" I've already arranged it, I will call you to play today, and tomorrow I will go back to my mother's house to enjoy peace, in short, I want to live a good life. ”

No one expected that moment to come so quickly.

Mingzhu took the children back to her parents' house the next day, and the family sat around Fu Cong happily for a long time, until Fu Cong said that he was tired and did not disperse. She was just talking a few words in Cui's room, and Fu Lin sent someone to call her, saying that Fu Cong was no longer good.

Mingzhu had never run so fast as she had at this moment, she had forgotten everything, only remembered that the person who called her "my little girl" was about to go. She followed the path of Fu Xiangfu, left everyone behind, and ran forward frantically, this road is a shortcut, she thought about Fu Cong when she was a child, and it was hateful to think that the nurses and grandmothers were too strict, and she always sneaked away from here every time, and then stood proudly outside the Guanhai Residence and crossed her waist to let the little girl go to the pass: "Tell Daddy, I'm here!" ”

No matter how busy or annoying Fu Cong was, he would let her in, either stuff some things for her first, or stuff some food for her, so that she could be quiet, sit on the side, and then discuss important matters with his staff. He only got her in old age, like a jewel, love more than his life, he can't wait to give her the best in the world, and he still plans for her in his serious illness, and his wish in life is only that the world is peaceful and his children are healthy.

Mingzhu threw herself down in front of Fu Cong's bed and cried, only to feel that her heart had been ripped away. Fu Cong opened his eyes, smiled and wanted to raise his hand to touch her head, but he had lost all his strength, and he had to signal An Rushan to help with this. An Rushan burst into tears, tremblingly grabbed his hand and put it on the top of Mingzhu's hair, Fu Cong sighed with satisfaction, and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, I'm fine, there's nothing better than at this moment." ”

Mingzhu bit her lip hard, desperately suppressing her tears and whimpering: "Daddy, I'm still young, I can't live without you, I can't live without Daddy......"

Fu Cong made her laugh: "No, when you grow up, your father will be proud of you." He asked Mingzhu to hold his hand, then looked at Fu Mingda, Fu Mingqing and Fu Mingzheng, and motioned for them to put their hands up, he used all his strength, squeezed these four hands together, and said in a low voice: "Work together." ”

Fu Mingda trembled his lips and said softly: "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely take care of his younger brothers and sisters." ”

Fu Cong nodded and looked at Fu Mingzheng: "Live a good life." ”

Fu Mingzheng was choked up and couldn't speak, so he could only nod desperately, Fu Mingqing cried like a child: "Daddy, my son is wrong, my son is not filial, and I disappointed you." ”

Fu Cong sighed: "You are not good at government affairs, Dad doesn't blame you." ”

Fu Mingqing was stunned, and cried even more aggrieved and louder.

Fu Cong found Su Shi kneeling on the periphery through the crowd: "Second child...... After I died, I handed over half of the property in my private treasury to the Su family...... Be kind to her and the children......"

Su Shi covered his face and cried heartbreakingly, Fu Cong motioned Cui Shi to lean over again, and said with a smile: "I'll go first, you take your time, don't worry, you will go underground in the future, so you can talk to me about your children and grandchildren, don't ask three questions." ”

At the end of the winter of the third year of Jianxing, Fu Cong died of illness.
