The wind is cool at night, and in places like the palace, there are people guarding the nobles' doors every day, and there are always people waiting inside. The wind blew a bit strong tonight, and it blew the branches of the tree swaying.

When I was free, the window sash was blown open at a corner, and the sound of wind whistling in was like someone whistling.

Hong De just sent someone to close the window, but he couldn't drive out the wind that had blown in. The wind slipped straight along the window and onto the bed curtain, shaking the entire curtain.

Just such a weak amplitude caused Emperor Xuande to start waking up from nightmares that he had to experience every day.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? It's still early today, why don't you go back and sleep for a while." Hong De saw that Emperor Xuande had sat up and immediately went to ask, although he had been repeating this for many days.

, but it must be said.

At this time, Emperor Xuande had just woken up from a nightmare. He was holding a dagger with a cold light in his hand. He must have hurriedly pulled it out from under the pillow when he woke up. At this time, he was pointing at Hong De who came to ask.

, there are still big beads of sweat on his face. This is already the first few months. He wakes up from nightmares every day, and can't sleep peacefully all night long.

"Your Majesty!" Hong De saw the sharp dagger pointing at him and immediately knelt down. His face was full of fear and distress. His Majesty's nightmare syndrome became more and more serious when the Lord came in. Old people like them felt distressed when they saw it.

He couldn't stop. "The Holy Mountain is a slave. It's very safe. No one can come in."

Emperor Xuande, who was still unable to recover from his nightmare, relaxed after hearing Hong De's words. When he saw the servants and maids kneeling in the entire hall, there was no one in the dream, and he took a breath.

"Ask someone to hold the lamp and get ready for the morning court." Emperor Xuande's hand was already touching his forehead, and he ordered Hong De, who was still kneeling on the ground. Since he had woken up, he could no longer sleep. As long as he was

As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the teacher standing beside him. This feeling of increasing fear made his mind become more and more confused.

Hong De opened his mouth but finally obeyed the order and shut it up and went down to go. Although it was still early in the morning, he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep even if he lay down again when he looked at His Majesty like this. Thinking of this, he

He turned around and waved his hands to the palace maids and chamberlains who were still waiting outside, and went to do their work.

Everyone in the capital knew that Emperor Xuande's temper had been getting worse since the war between the two countries began. He became more and more irritable. He even became increasingly ill due to insomnia. The concubine and the queen's party were also at this time.

The competition became more and more intense. Who among the eldest prince and the fourth prince could become the crown prince has become a matter of speculation for everyone in the capital.

In the past few months, the fight between the two factions in the harem has become more and more intense, and they are even more active in the court. The officials are urging them day by day, fearing that one day Emperor Xuande will really lose, and the battle for the throne will

Another big wave was set off, which destabilized the country.

After the peace talks between the Beiyi people and the withdrawal of troops from Houyu were resolved, Emperor Xuande's body quickly declined like the flowers and leaves on the trees after autumn. After the old King Beiyi, the monarch of Daliang also had

The figure that was originally still burly seemed to have gradually disappeared. It became thinner and thinner. There were more and more white hairs on the hair. It turned out to be even older than King Ding looked.

Teenage look.

"Why did you lose so much hair?" Emperor Xuande looked at the hair on the comb with some irritation. He couldn't help but feel irritable again. His tone was full of reproach, but his voice was a little weak.

Emperor Xuande woke up in the middle of the night again like before, so he asked Hongde to call the palace maid to come in and tie his hair early. Who knew that the palace maid was a new one? The palace maid who used to comb her hair felt uncomfortable and did not get up today.

Seeing Tianyan, he quickly heard that Emperor Xuande had a bad temper during this period, so he became a little flustered. He didn't even hide the fallen hair, and Emperor Xuande looked at it, so he got this scolding.

"This slave is guilty. Please forgive me, please forgive me! Please forgive me!" The little palace maid looked like a person who had not experienced any major events. She immediately knelt down and knocked her head on the ground. Hong De, who was on the side, listened.

When he heard the sound, he hurried over here. When he saw that the little palace maid had eaten and her head was stained with blood, she wanted to speak out, but when she saw Emperor Xuande's unkind expression, she still kept her mouth shut.

When Emperor Xuande saw the blood stains, he just waved his hands impatiently and said, "Okay, go down and receive the punishment."

As soon as he finished saying this, two little chamberlains came in and pulled the palace maid down. The originally quiet hall was eerily silent. Only Hong De dared to step forward to talk to Emperor Xuande.

The hair that had just been half tied up was held up again.

"Hong De, do you think I'm old?" Emperor Xuande asked as he watched Hong De pick up the comb again and looked at Hong De behind him through the mirror. The green hair on his end had all turned white at this time.

, probably because of what happened just now, he felt very tired, and his strength seemed to have been drained away.

While combing his hair, Hong De comforted Emperor Xuande with a smile: "This is the time for the Holy One to show his grand plans. The Beiyi tribe and Houyu have been solved now. Where is the old age? They are all born from eating grains.

Man, how can your hair not fall out? Don’t worry too much. Look, there’s nothing on this comb. It must be that the little maid was frightened when she saw you for the first time, so she accidentally pulled her hair out.

.”

After saying that, he put on the hair crown and combed the hair that was still loose.

Emperor Xuande looked at the comb and then at himself in the mirror. He nodded with great satisfaction and felt that his mood was much smoother. Then he turned to prepare other matters for going to court.

The whole morning today was chaotic. It was nothing more than that the fourth prince seemed to have caused some trouble and was bitten by the admonishment officer. The two factions below were unwilling to let the other go at this time, and Xuande, who was originally not in good spirits, was

Di Nao's head hurt even more. He had just slapped the dragon chair and wanted to stand up to question him, when he felt dizzy and dizzy for a while. He was so surprised that he fell unconscious for a moment.

"Your Majesty!"

The ministers who were still arguing at first were all in a mess. A thought flashed through their minds, that is: it seems that Emperor Xuande is really in trouble.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Emperor Xuande finally woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Prince Ding, who was guarding the house, scolding Hong De with a cold look on his face. He called out, which saved Hong De from being scolded again.

King Ding has not left the palace since the early days, and has stayed by Emperor Xuande's side, for fear that these elm-headed people may have some bad intentions and cause trouble in the palace. He is waiting for others to wake up.

At that time, I went to ask Emperor Hongde and Xuande what was going on with his recent health and why he was like this. It would have been fine if he didn't listen, but he felt a chill in his heart after hearing it.

"Brother Emperor." Emperor Xuande had already sat up. He felt better now. He no longer felt dizzy. He had a good sleep for the first time in many days and did not dream about that person.

At this time, King Ding had already bowed and stood beside Emperor Xuande. He looked at Emperor Xuande, who was all green and black, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that it was indeed as the imperial doctor said, and he was probably terminally ill.

"Your Majesty, do you feel better?" King Ding stretched out his hand to help Emperor Xuande, but he still thought of the difference between the monarch and his subjects, so he immediately turned to Hong De and called out: "Hong De, come here and help your Majesty."

When he spoke, his murderous aura rushed toward Hong De with his anger, which almost frightened Hong De so much that he almost lost his grip on the whisk in his hand.

Emperor Xuande took two quick breaths, nodded and said: "It's better, but I don't know if this situation will happen again. It's useless. I'm so irresistible." He said.

He waved his hands as if he knew that his body had really collapsed, and he was laughing at himself. At the same time, he thought of Ji Bo'an's words again, and he couldn't help but feel envious of his teacher.

"Why does Your Majesty have nightmares every day?" King Ding frowned and asked when he saw Emperor Xuande's self-deprecating smile. He was quite different from Emperor Xuande, and naturally he watched him grow up to what he is now.

, However, Emperor Xuande has never been a person who would stay up at night because of trivial matters. The military power in the hands of Prince Gong and Ji Yu only made him use his brain to fight. He really couldn't understand why Emperor Xuande changed his mind.

It will be like what the imperial doctor said, and the blood will be exhausted.

When Emperor Xuande heard King Ding's question, his face became a little cold. He looked at the empty corner and said: "I dreamed about the teacher. Day and night, I dreamed that he had given away the country of Daliang.

There is another person, neither I nor you, nor anyone else can compete with him. If he can help me to this position, he can also help others to come up. Brother Emperor, look at him here again!"

"You mean the Taifu?" When King Ding heard what Emperor Xuande said, his face was full of astonishment. He knew that the Taifu had disappeared without a trace before Emperor Xuande succeeded to the throne. Why did he say this?

However, no one answered his question. Because Emperor Xuande was talking, he pointed at the position he had been staring at, his face became very flustered, and in a hurry, he raised his knife and wanted to stab forward.

In the past, thanks to King Ding's quick eyesight and quick hands, he snatched the knife from Emperor Xuande's hand and slashed the back of Emperor Xuande's neck with the knife, thus controlling the panic.

It was later in the night that Emperor Xuande woke up from his nightmare again. However, before he could speak, Prince Ding knelt down directly in front of the dragon couch, kowtowed heavily and said a word.
