"Don't be afraid, it's dad..."
In order not to scare Li Chengqian, Li Shimin could only pretend to laugh and even make faces.
Li Chengqian's breathing was still rapid and he looked straight at Li Shimin.
"father……"
After an unknown amount of time, Li Chengqian murmured in a low voice.
His bloodshot eyes gradually recovered.
The consciousness that flew to nowhere gradually returned to the brain.
"Yes, it's dad."
Li Shimin took two steps forward.
"Come, give your sister to your father."
"She is injured and needs to be treated immediately."
Li Shimin knew that Li Chengqian only cared about his sister now.
This is the only thing he can say to help Li Chengqian slowly regain his senses.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Li Chengqian stood up from the ground holding Li Lizhi in his arms.
Then, he limped and helped Li Lizhi walk to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin held Li Lizhi in his arms and looked at Li Chengqian whose face was covered in blood.
I felt unspeakably distressed.
"Well done."
Li Shimin raised his hand and touched Li Chengqian's head.
"He is a man. He did not embarrass us, Lao Li."
If you have these words, say them to Li Chengqian when he is awake.
Li Chengqian would definitely give him a look of disdain.
But now, Li Chengqian didn't react at all, staring blankly at Li Lizhi who was held in Li Shimin's arms.
When he mechanically turned his head and saw Li Shimin, his legs softened and he sat directly on the ground.
He still had that almost habitual silly smile on his face.
"Father, you are here..."
After just saying these words, Li Chengqian leaned back and passed out.
At that moment, Li Shimin even wanted to kill someone.
"Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji, come here."
Li Shimin roared.
Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin also hurriedly cut through the crowd and came in.
When they saw what they saw in front of them, they were also dumbfounded.
Changsun Wuji reacted quickly and took the lead in calling: "Your Majesty..."
Li Shimin clenched his fists and his body was shaking.
After a long time, he finally calmed down his emotions that were about to explode.
"Cheng Yaojin."
"Send the order to Jinwu Guards."
"The entire city is under martial law and the assassins will be captured. Once discovered, they will be executed directly without reporting."
"I obey."
Cheng Yaojin took the order and left.
"Notify Dali Temple to investigate the case..."
"If the mastermind behind the incident cannot be found within three days, all parties will be investigated."
"promise."
Changsun Wuji bent down to salute, then took the order and left.
At this time, Li Shimin also picked up Li Chengqian.
In this way, holding their son and daughter in their arms, they walked all the way towards the palace.
Li Shimin's face was as gloomy as water.
A large group of armored guards followed behind him.
The whole time there was only the clicking sound of the armor rubbing against each other.
The scene was horribly depressing.
Timid people may even tremble with fear when seeing such a sight.
Chang'an City was destined to be restless that night.
For two days in a row, Chang'an City was under martial law, and outsiders were not allowed in or out.
Groups of Jinwu Guards took to the streets, searching for assassins from house to house.
Anyone who is outside the Great Wall and behaves suspiciously will be taken to the street and executed directly.
Is it bloody?
Violent?
But this is Li Shimin.
He is the wise and mighty, he is the one who serves the country and the people, and he is still the one who kills ferociously.
In other words, no emperor who can leave his name in history is kind.
There is no such thing as unjust or wrongful killing.
There is no name-calling or impeachment.
Li Shimin only knew that his most cherished son and most beloved daughter were still unconscious until now.
Killing a few outsiders is considered light.
If the mastermind behind the scenes is found out, he will use all the strength of the country to destroy the country.
Even if the emperor no longer deserves it, even if the world no longer wants him.
He must avenge this.
…
The night is deep.
But Li Shimin had no intention of sleeping.
For two days in a row, he stayed outside Kunning Palace every night.
Yesterday, Li Lizhi had woken up.
He was happy but unhappy at the same time.
Because Li Chengqian didn't wake up.
Until now, Li Chengqian showed no sign of waking up.
Although the imperial doctor did not say it clearly, he also said indirectly that Li Chengqian was too frightened and seriously injured, and it was very likely that he would not be able to wake up.
Although my eyes are looking at the night scene.
But Li Shimin's mind was filled with scenes of getting along with Li Chengqian.
Although he is naughty, he is also cute.
But isn’t that how children should behave?
Although I occasionally make some innocuous jokes with myself.
But doesn't this also mean that he is very close to me?
At this time, Queen Changsun, whose belly was becoming more and more pregnant, came out of the room.
She walked behind Li Shimin with a thin blanket and helped him put it on.
"Your Majesty, it's cold, please add a blanket."
Li Shimin turned back slightly and held Queen Changsun's hand.
Her hands were cold and there were obvious tears on her face.
In an instant, Li Shimin blamed himself even more.
Something happened between Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi under his nose.
Looking at the woman who had been with him for fifteen years, Li Shimin slowly said: "Guanyin Maid, do you blame me?"
"No wonder."
"to be honest."
"It's really not surprising."
Empress Changsun pursed her lips tightly for a while before speaking: "A child has his own destiny. No one can do anything about how many children have their own destiny."
"Then I really hope you blame me."
Li Shimin sighed: "I have always praised myself as the best in the world in literature, Taoism and military strategy."
"But he can't even protect his own children."
Li Shimin shook his head and laughed at himself: "It's all a joke that he is the best in the world in literature, Taoism and martial arts."
Then he couldn't help feeling sentimental.
"Qian'er is such a good boy."
"You can write poems at the age of eight, and you can beat me on the chessboard."
"I went to Jiangnan and brought me such a big gift."
"Zhenguan territory map, Zhenguan cargo ship..."
"This list is enough for some prestigious old guys to study for a lifetime."
"I pride myself on recruiting heroes from all over the world, regardless of their origins."
"But I never realized that the real hero is our son..."
Li Shimin really regretted it.
He should be nicer to Li Chengqian.
In that case, he might not blame himself as much as he does now.
Because of the debt, I feel guilty.
"it does not matter."
"everything will get better."
Empress Changsun secretly wiped the tears from her eyes and forced a smile.
"I believe that our cadre will be blessed by God and nothing will happen to us."
After hearing these words, Li Shimin held Changsun Wuji's hand tightly, leaned his head gently on her body, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Your Majesty, my empress..."
At this moment, a palace maid suddenly stumbled out of the palace.
He knelt on his knees facing the two of them and said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness is awake."
"woke up?"
Li Shimin stood up directly.
Without waiting for the palace maid to lead the way, he walked directly into the palace.
Entering the bedroom, he immediately saw Li Chengqian huddled in the corner.
Li Chengqian was like an injured kitten at this time, his face full of fear.
The same is true even when meeting Li Shimin.
"Don't be afraid."
"Dad is here."
Li Shimin's voice was rare and gentle.
Li Chengqian stared at his eyes, tears flowing uncontrollably.
"I killed someone..."
"I killed someone..."
He was really frightened.
Killing is really terrible for him.
His mind was filled with scenes of blood spraying.
All I can think about is the look in the man's eyes before he died...
