After the weather warmed up, news finally arrived from the North, with many letters containing both good and bad news. The emperor felt mixed emotions.

Meng Zhenzhen looked at the message and Tezuka's package, and slumped in her chair, unable to stop crying.

"Why is she so stubborn? I told her that she must survive if she was injured. She had so many good days to live, but she chose to die."

They didn't understand why the Crown Princess was crying, so Jasmine quickly took the child out. The child finally fell asleep.

Fuling handed over the handkerchief, "Master, what happened? We can discuss it together."

The Crown Princess handed over the note and was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the person who was still alive in front of her years ago would die on the battlefield. What good was it to become a hero? He would still turn into a handful of dirt.

The Crown Princess opened the contents of the package, which included children's building blocks, rattles, bells, wooden swords, and beautiful hair bands. Each item was carefully prepared, for both boys and girls, without bias.

She saw there was another letter inside and tried to tear it open with trembling hands, but she couldn't muster any strength. Fuling, who was beside her, walked over to help her open it.

All I saw written on it was, "Crown Princess, I don't know when I can come back after I leave. I may never come back. These things are selected by me for my future masters. I hope they will like them.

Master, thank you for saving me. This war is my last chance to avenge my parents. The dog emperor must be killed no matter what.

I'm sorry I can't fulfill my promise to you. Pingwan wants to be closer to his parents, so after taking revenge I will probably stay on the battlefield. It would be nice to be buried there. It's not bad to be a southerner.

The master, please tell Jasmine, Haitang, and Fuling to thank them for their care every two days and leave them to the servants to do the work.

If I come back to be your maid in the next life, you must remember to buy me back. 】

What Meng Zhenzhen feared most was separation and death. Now that it had really happened, she felt suffocated, as if someone had bitten a hole in her heart.

She could have lived, but she chose to die, just because she had taken revenge and had no goals anymore. This girl is so stupid.

She closed her eyes and kept the letter, "Haitang, clean up Pingwan's room, pack up the things inside, and put them in the coffin with this handful of soil.

Let someone find a Feng Shui treasured place to bury her together, so that someone can pay tribute to her in the future, so that she won't be lonely in the future, and at least her trip will not be in vain."

Jasmine burst into tears when she heard this. Usually, she spent the longest time with Ping Wan, and she loved nagging the most, and Ping Wan was the only one who listened to her quietly.

"She said she would come back to eat hotpot with me, but why didn't she keep her promise? Why did she die? There will be no one to chat with me anymore."

Seeing this, Haitang felt that the Crown Princess was in an even worse mood, so she quickly pulled her to pack her things.

"Pack your things quickly. If the Crown Princess can't see you, she won't be sad. You can't keep thinking about this matter. Let her rest in peace soon."

When the prince came back and saw that her eyes were red and her expression was unhappy, he thought someone had made her angry, so he walked to the chaise longue and hugged her in his arms, "What's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"

She burst into tears, her voice becoming hoarse, "Ping Wan died on the battlefield. She killed the Northern Emperor and finally got her revenge, but she's dead. Why am I so sad?"

The prince just realized that he had heard about this matter from the emperor. He was quite embarrassed at the time and didn't know how to tell Zhenzhen. He didn't expect to receive the letter.

"The dead cannot be resurrected. I will ask my father to confer a title on her so that she can be buried as a southerner, and leave with a clear conscience."

She shook her head. "She was originally from the north. She died there because she wanted to be closer to her parents. I will cancel her slavery. I will fulfill the relationship between master and servant and let her leave with a clean conscience!"

Northern Palace

The news that the emperor had died on the battlefield reached the palace. The queen and the prince looked at the man lying on the bed, with expressions of heartache, confusion and guilt on their faces.

What was more important was that they were at a loss. After all, they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and when they met again, everything had changed.

The morning court in the north was already filled with quarrels.

Wei Ming was the first to stand up, and he was very confident. "The emperor should be returned to his original owner. Since the fake one has died on the battlefield, the real owner should be the emperor. This is obvious. There is nothing to discuss."

Right Prime Minister Jin Xiang disagreed and retorted, "The problem is that the emperor is now paralyzed in bed. It is impossible for a disabled person to be the emperor. There has never been such a case. I am sorry that I cannot agree to this."

The mighty general Zhang Ben was smiling like a smiling tiger. If he hadn't been pretending to be sick this time, he would probably have been the one to die there.

"The two prime ministers don't need to argue. We still have our Crown Prince. He can ascend the throne directly. There will be no dispute.

The problem is what to do with the Southern Kingdom now. The soldiers at the front may not be able to hold out for much longer. My body cannot bear it any longer."

After saying that, he pretended to cough a few times, his face flushed red, as if it was real, "Cough... cough... cough..."

The prince watched them quarrelling and interrupted them, "All the ministers are doing this for the good of the Northern Kingdom. I am very relieved. Who will be the monarch of the Northern Kingdom is up to my father.

Before this, I wanted to surrender to the Southern Kingdom. The Northern Kingdom’s national strength could not sustain the loss. This was also what my father wanted.”

The ministers were discussing this, and some veterans felt ashamed. “Why did the Southern Kingdom suddenly become so powerful? We didn’t receive any news before.”

Zhang Ben coughed a few times before speaking, "I heard that the Crown Princess of the Southern Kingdom developed some new weapons. Even the weapons in the army have been updated. The previous emperor also conducted experiments. I heard that several people were killed in the explosion."

Qili thought of the woman with a smile as beautiful as a flower and who was like an elf. In the end, he stood on the opposite side of her. Even so, he still didn't want to hurt her. This was the only beautiful thing in his heart.

"Since there is no unified answer to this matter, we should make other preparations. All officials must cooperate with the soldiers at the front and hold on until the last moment."

After the court session ended, Qili went to the Queen's bedroom and saw that her father was still awake. He had not spoken a word yet and could only write to express his thoughts.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father and Mother. Today, I would like to ask you one thing. Do you intend to surrender to the Southern Kingdom, or continue to fight and struggle?"

Then I saw him write a word on the paper: "降".

Then continue writing to recharge your energy.

That is to say, the emperor has not given up the invasion of the Southern Kingdom, but this incident has touched him too deeply. To make an enemy of her is to ask for humiliation, and no one will have a good ending.

He could only suppress his thoughts temporarily, and when he sat on the throne, he could be a monarch who would not kill innocent people in broad daylight.

My father wrote on the paper: You will ascend the throne as emperor today. The Northern Kingdom needs a good emperor to revive its vitality. My father has left you his savings.

This made both the Queen and the Crown Prince smile. After all, the Northern Kingdom's treasury was empty, so even if they had any ideas, they couldn't implement them.

"Father, when did you leave your savings? Why haven't they been discovered for so many years?"

He changed a piece of paper and continued writing: That is the trump card left by the older generation, and it can only be taken out at the last moment. Now is the time.

Then the group came to the cold palace. The smell there was very bad and almost no one would have thought that the treasure would be here.

The emperor pointed to the corner of the next room and pressed a button to open a huge secret room. After the smell was gone, Qili walked down and found that there was nothing inside.

Could it be that his father lied to him?

He walked up with doubt, "Father, there is nothing there, it is empty."

The emperor's eyes widened and he waved his hands anxiously, signaling the prince to carry him down.

When he walked down, he saw an empty place, but there were still traces of the box on the ground, which had been stolen.

He let out a roaring sound from his throat and fainted from anger.

The Queen and Qili were also stunned, and they hurriedly sent the Emperor back for treatment.
