At the banquet, it was almost nightfall.
The prince's concubine suddenly ran over and said with a pale face: "Second Saint! The prince...the prince..."
Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang stood up suddenly, and Li Zhi shouted: "Speak!"
"Forget it! Take me to see Hong'er quickly!"
Both of them felt something was wrong and lost all interest.
When they arrived at the palace, they discovered that Li Hong was already sitting cross-legged on the bed... his breath was extremely weak.
Li Zhi trembled, mistakenly thinking that Li Hong was dead. He knew that Li Hong would die, but he didn't expect that it would be today...
Wu Meiniang's eyes were red and she looked at the concubine: "What's going on? Aren't you feeling uncomfortable? How could this happen? What happened!?"
The concubine quickly knelt on the ground: "The prince said that the banquet was noisy and he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, but he also felt that not drinking alcohol during the banquet would be disrespectful to the two saints, so before leaving, the prince drank a few drinks alone."
"After he came back, he asked us all to go out. He wanted to be quiet. I thought it took too long, so I knocked on the door and asked. Who knows..."
Wu Meiniang slowly clenched her fists, her pupils turning red.
And Li Zhi suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
"That's not right!" Wu Meiniang hurriedly stepped forward. After her inner strength penetrated, she suddenly shouted: "Call the imperial doctor!"
On the edge of the cliff, Li Yunxiao looked up at the starry sky and sighed deeply.
"Thank you for coming. If you're sorry for bothering me, you can go back now. He has made a decision."
Liu Shenwei nodded: "Okay."
After Liu Shenwei left, Li Yunxiao took out the little turtle from his arms, touched it, and slowly walked into the pavilion to drink alone.
A list was placed on the table, which recorded the list of thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two Disha from the beginning to the present, as well as the list of bad guys and captains.
Most of them have left and are marked with an X on the back.
The only things that remain unchanged are the two names at the front, Tian Kuixing Yuan Tiangang and Di Kuixing Li Yunxiao.
...
The next day.
The feast, which was supposed to last for seven days, was forcibly canceled on the second day.
After Liu Shenwei's diagnosis and treatment, Li Hong's life was saved, but it was only a matter of hanging, which was a misfortune.
The matter of his terminal illness was no longer a secret in just one day, and rumors spread in the court.
And many people have already begun to plan to re-align with the team.
Especially Li Xian, who had already secretly bribed some ministers, and had been waiting for this moment for who knows how long.
Now, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang are just staying by Li Hong's bedside.
The two looked at each other silently.
All affairs in the court were temporarily handed over to outsiders, and were handled by several powerful ministers, prime ministers and others headed by Li Yifu and Di Renjie.
Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang both had concerns in their hearts.
Over the past few decades, from the time when they first used the power of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to unite with the ministers to seize power and destroy all the countries, now there is almost no one in the Wu family, and Li Zhi and Li Hong are seriously ill.
Beautiful memories gradually change over time.
At that time, Li Zhi was ignorant and only knew how to be patient. He was full of majesty and heroism, while Wu Meiniang was full of charm and foresight.
Now, many reasons have caused the two to be at odds with each other and entangled with each other. The initial feeling has long been changed beyond recognition.
On the night of the third day, dark clouds covered the sun and covered all the beautiful scenery in the palace.
The willows planted outside the courtyard should have been a dancing blessing, but now they look like ghosts with teeth and claws.
With the breeze howling, everything seemed eerie.
In the main hall, hundreds of oil lamps were brightly lit, shining like daylight.
This was discussed between Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang. They felt that darkness was unlucky, and even if they had to leave, Hong'er should be kept in a bright place.
We cannot let him be swallowed up bit by bit by the night, we must expel the darkness for him.
Therefore, even the passage to Tai Chi Palace was filled with oil lamps, and servants lined up outside to protect the lampshades from being blown out.
But these are all useless efforts and of no use.
Now, Li Hong no longer coughs, or in other words, he has no strength to cough. He just wants to close his eyes and have a good sleep.
But he still wanted to look at this light and then look at his father, queen and mother.
He knew that when he closed his eyes, he felt relieved, but his father and mother would be in pain.
Li Hong turned his head slightly and glanced at his father, emperor and empress sitting beside his bed.
One had an anxious face and his eyes were bloodshot, while the other had red eyes but was holding back tears.
Looking not far away, the newly married Crown Princess Pei was wiping away tears.
Ever since the choice of the Crown Princess fell on her, her initial happiness turned into nightmare-like sadness.
Because Li Hong was ill, the two had almost no relationship as a couple. Even if they tried, they ended abruptly when Li Hong coughed violently.
And now that she is going to be a widow again, instead of crying for Li Hong, it is better to say that she is crying for herself!
Her life was completely ruined!
Li Hong breathlessly called her name.
"You are still young. If you follow the law, it will be unfair to you. You and I have no children. After I die, you can remarry someone else and you can make up for the guilt I feel for you."
Mrs. Pei cried even louder after hearing this.
It's true that Li Hong said good things, and it was also true that he was thinking about her.
But this is simply impossible. With the title of Crown Princess hanging here, who would dare to marry her?
Even if someone is bold enough to petition for marriage, will the Second Saint agree?
The two of them took their face very seriously, and they probably would have died tragically in the room the next day if they agreed!
Li Zhi glanced at Mr. Pei lightly.
Poor Hong'er agreed to Liu Shenwei's words and was unable to have children. Now that he is on the road alone, he is really lonely. It is better to let Mr. Pei accompany him...
Li Hong thought Li Zhi was worried about him, so he couldn't help but comfort him.
"Father, a man will not shed tears easily, and you are also sick. The affairs of the court are big, and the world is big. This world has not yet returned to our country, the Tang Dynasty. Don't bother yourself for the sake of your children."
Li Zhi stepped forward and touched Li Hong's hair. There was no war in the world today. Even if someone wanted to cause harm, they would not dare to blatantly confront the Tang Dynasty. How could the world not return?
The reason why he said this, he understood, was because the world Li Hong called was not the same as the world he thought, but the same as the world mentioned by the emperor's master.
Seeing that he was still worried about She Ji, Li Zhi held back his tears, pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth and said slowly: "Don't worry, Hong'er, both our father and son can recover from their illnesses."
Li Hong sneered feebly: "My son is a martial arts practitioner. I know best what his health is like. I feel relieved that I am leaving now. It's a pity that I won't see the day when the world will be reunited."
Li Zhi shook his head and choked with sobs: "Hong'er, you will definitely see the world unite. I will abdicate the throne to you immediately, so that you can witness with your own eyes the scene of all nations coming to court!"
"You have to hold on, I will send someone immediately to notify the envoys from other countries to come!"
Li Hong quickly frowned and forced himself to hold his father's hand.
"No! You can't do this! Listen to me first!"
