"According to the order of the sage, His Highness is prevented from leaving the city today. And, ask Wei Chen to bring a sentence to His Highness."

When Li Sheng heard this, he got off his horse.

"The Holy Majesty said, His Highness can just stand and listen to the order." General Zhong Lang said hastily.

Li Sheng performed a cross-hand salute.

"There is an order from the Holy Spirit, and it is said that Princess Jinning will enter the palace immediately."

"When?" Li Shengxi asked playfully.

"The moment His Highness heard the will."

"What if I don't leave the city today?" Li Sheng mounted his horse.

"This decree is only valid today." Zhong Lang will be neither humble nor overbearing.

"Understood." Li Shengxi turned his horse's head, his face relaxed, but his heart sank.

Brother stopped her from leaving the city at this time, probably because he had guessed what she was going to do.And brother is so obstructive, it means that her guess is probably right.If this pulse case is really tricky, others may not be able to see it, but Liu Jin, who is the master of Xinglin, will definitely be able to see it.

Brother's decree was promulgated in this way, but it was not sure whether she knew the truth.If she left the city today, she must have known the truth.

And if she doesn't leave the city today, she must go to court early tomorrow.After the early court, brother can leave her to test, and then make a decision.

But now that my elder brother called her into the palace, he would probably tell the whole story, after all, seeing that she couldn't hide it from her, she was not so easy to fool.

When Li Sheng arrived at the gate of the palace, the chariots in the palace had obviously been waiting for a long time.

Li Shengxi sat on the chariot and followed the guide to the Shigan Hall.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Before Li Shengxi could salute, Emperor Hongxing greeted Li Shengxi to sit down, just pretending to be in front of outsiders.As for their own people, Li Sheng made a big salute this morning, so there is no need to salute.

"No." Li Sheng shook his head, a bit like a little girl.

"Haven't you run out yet?" Emperor Hongxing waved his hand, signaling to the palace servants to pass on the meal, "Although Huaiwang's other courtyard is in the outskirts of Beijing, it is not too close to the imperial city. If you leave the city today, you will have to go to court tomorrow morning. I'm afraid I won't be able to rest all night, I won't be able to use dinner, and I have to wait for a long time for breakfast, how can anyone live like this? I'll take care of the princess mansion for you today, didn't I persuade you?"

Today's dinner was served at the same table for the two of them, and the two sat side by side on both sides of the table, which greatly shortened the distance.

Li Shengxi shook his head, "Of course I persuaded you to stay here, but how can you persuade me to stay? If you really can persuade me to stay, brother, you don't need to send a Zhonglang general to wait for me at the gate of the city."

"You like to protect the people around you." Emperor Hongxing chuckled, and he looked at the servants serving beside him.

The man understood, and led all the palace people back down. For a while, there were only two brothers and sisters in the room.

In fact, before Li Shengxi was seven years old, Emperor Hongxing held Li Shengxi and fed him all the time, and after he was seven years old.Most of them are sitting at the same table as they are now, and only when outsiders are around, they will sit at the same table.

And when they were at the same table, there would be no palace people serving dishes from the side. At first, some people would persuade Emperor Hongxing, but later, no one persuaded him.

It's just that Li Shengxi has been away from Beijing for many years, and the two of them haven't eaten like this for a long time.

"It can't be said that there is no protection." Li Shengxi shook his head, smiled lightly, and continued to ask: "Brother, why did you call me into the palace suddenly?"

"Then why did you leave the city? My sister is so smart, can't she guess it? This time, my brother lost." He didn't hide it from Li Shengxi.

Li Shengxi lowered his head slightly.

"Why do you suddenly doubt my body?" Logically speaking, he was in the prime of life, the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty had a long life, and he was at the prime of his life, even if some things seemed to be done earlier, he would not doubt him. body, there must be some other reason.

"Destiny has a call, and the dream came to me." Li Shengxi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and after finishing speaking, he told Emperor Hongxing what he saw in his dream.

There are not many memories in the dream, nothing more than "Li Xun died", "Xu Huanzhi committed suicide", "Emperor Hongxing died young, the young master Li Heng ascended the throne, and the imperial power fell", "She was shot to death with an arrow at Linghuadu".

And these things have been able to dig out a lot of things.

"Ah Xun is not dead, that is because I gave him the breastplate left by Auntie. And in that dream, I saw blood dripping from Ah Xun's knees and an arrow shot in his chest. Although Ah Xun is not dead, But his legs are disabled. And Huanzhi was almost driven crazy in prison. If I hadn't arrived in time, he might have committed suicide in grief and indignation. And you, brother," Li Shengxi looked sad.

"Being given chronic poison by Feng Yulang, he will die soon." Emperor Hongxing told the cruel truth for Li Shengxi lightly.

"It's really so serious?" Li Shengxi couldn't believe it, "Have Xiao Niang seen it?"

"Several imperial physicians from the imperial medical office took the pulse together, and they were unable to return to heaven. Telling Xiaoniang again is of no use, but it will alarm you instead." Emperor Hongxing glanced at Li Shengxi, and said solemnly: "Ah Xi, life and death are important. Life, no one can live forever. If it is mediocre, then what is longevity and longevity?"

"But brother, you are only 36 years old this year."

"The top priority now is the Northern Expedition. If I am alive, you can succeed in the Northern Expedition and the Central Plains can be unified. With such an achievement, who will only remember that I am only 36 years old? They will only remember my achievements.

A Xi, if you want to stand at the top, you must not be easily swayed by your emotions.You are very good. You are excellent in martial arts and martial arts. You are a perfect successor.

But at the same time, your shortcomings are too obvious, that is, you are too easily swayed by emotion.Everyone knows that you value affection, so many people can use the person you care about to hold you hostage. "

Ping Guogong, Xu Huanzhi, Liu Jin, Mu Jing, and even Ying Xiao can influence Li Shengxi.Maybe she won't ruin the overall situation for them, but she is not ruthless enough to give up easily.

Li Shengxi lowered his head, eyes filled with tears, "Brother, tell me, how long do you have?"

This is the first time Li Shengxi shed tears as far as he can remember.The love of parents is too far away for her.The love between men and women is not enough and damages her chic and decent.

Only Emperor Hongxing, who is like a brother like a father, who is like a teacher like a teacher.They depended on each other, stood together through thick and thin, and spent those years surrounded by powerful enemies together.

She became his sharpest sword, opening up territories for him and consolidating his throne.

He became her strongest shield, overcoming her in every possible way, rewarding her in every possible way, and painstakingly paving the way for her.

Emperor Hongxing wiped away her tears, and said solemnly: "It's not important. What's important is that I didn't tell you about this before, because I didn't want to affect your Northern Expedition. Now I'm telling you——I want you to tell me Guaranteed, no matter what happens in the future, it will not block your way forward. Whether it is the Northern Expedition or the seizure of the throne, it must go smoothly, and you must not be soft!"
