Old Twelve was going to return to Beijing for the pilgrimage as usual. The prince said that Zhu Di would also come back soon. If Old Twelve stayed longer, he might be able to meet Zhu Di. The old twelfth brother thinks about it, it is better to buy some gifts and let the prince help him hand it over. Unfortunately, the prince said that he is going to go to Shanxi to be the governor, and the emperor intends to move the capital to Xi'an. As for the King of Qin, it is no wonder Zhu Yuanzhang, who made him unwilling to make peace with Wang Yuemin all these years. Zhu Di did not enter the capital until the prince left the capital. Zhu Yuanzhang praised Zhu Di for his good performance. He agreed to his performance, and when the seventeenth and the others left, they still extended the same example and left it to Zhu Di to control. Zhu Yuanzhang told Zhu Di to teach them to fight well at that time.

The prince suffered a serious illness in Xi'an, and the imperial doctor said that His Royal Highness was in danger. Almost as soon as he heard the news, Zhu Yuanzhang fainted. Chang sent the crying palace servant back, but he was so sad that he brushed off the things on the table. Ulan Tuya soon also told Hai Bie that the prince was critically ill, Hai Bie lamented that good people do not always live long. The imperial doctor said that the crown prince had suffered from a menacing wind, and he could not move or speak. Zhu Di postponed his return to the domain, and rushed into the palace with King Qin and King Jin, but this was the harem, and the three princes could not enter.

Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and Lian Zining gathered at night to analyze the three adult princes' entry into the palace. They had to make plans in advance. If something happened to His Royal Highness, they would definitely encourage His Majesty to abide by the ancestral system and let the eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen enter the East Palace. Do a good job in the response to the usurpation of the three princes. Zhu Yunwen promised to keep his mouth shut, and begged the Buddha to let his father recover, but in the end, he was unable to recover, and many doctors in the palace were powerless. Before Zhu Biao died, he was able to breathe his last breath. After the three places of Taiyuan, Xi'an and Peiping were circled on the map, he died suddenly. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was hit by this, also fainted. After waking up, he sent an order to let the three kings of Qin and Jin and Yan go back to their respective houses, and first remove their guards.

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his son's face in person and sent him on the last journey. When it snowed heavily, Tang He entered the palace. What he saw was Zhu Yuanzhang who had been very haggard overnight. He handed Tang He an decree that from today onwards, the twelve guards, as well as the five army commanders' mansions, will be under the jurisdiction of all the guards in Jing, all under the control of Tang He. In an extraordinary time, Zhu Yuanzhang's life was handed over to him by doing an extraordinary method. The Lu family, who had a deep relationship with Zhu Biao, was also deeply saddened by Zhu Biao's sudden death. On the grounds of Xijing, Zhu Di removed his own guards and staff, and at the same time asked someone to invite Master Daoyan, and he wanted to recite the scriptures for his eldest brother. In the past few days, he has locked himself in the study all day, and is unwilling to come out.

His Majesty must have sent someone to watch these princes, so he also knew that King Yan had locked himself in the study, and no one could see him. When Miaoyun returned to Beijing, he heard Xu Zengshou say on the carriage that someone in the capital had circled the three circles before the prince died, saying that the person who harmed him was one of the three princes. Today, His Majesty also released the guards of the three princes, probably to see what the three princes have to do with this matter. As for Zhu Di, Xu Zengshou told Miao Yun honestly that Zhu Di had been shutting himself up in the study for the past few days, and no one would see him. This is also understandable. His eldest brother whom he loved the most died suddenly, and whoever it is, is not acceptable for a while.
