Xu Fenglei nodded.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Queen has her own destiny and will be fine."
He turned around and was about to leave, but turned back to comfort him.
"Aren't you worried? How can I not be worried? You put it lightly! The person lying on the hospital bed is not your mother-in-law!"
Li Shimin cursed and walked away.
Xu Fenglei: "..."
What's this, what's this, I mean to comfort you, but I'm treated like a donkey!
"hehe."
He groaned twice, turned around and left.
…
Li Shimin returned to the palace. Under Wang Zhaoyi's service, he only wiped his face with a hot towel, and he could no longer hold back his sleepiness.
If he continues to do this, he will really suffer from heart failure!
The moment he closed his eyes, he did not forget to say:
"Today's political affairs hall meeting will be chaired by Fang Xuanling..."
"Other government affairs are also handled by him and Changsun Wuji... together..."
"Huh...huh..."
Li Shimin was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep before he finished speaking.
Wang Zhaoyi took off his shoes and socks, put his feet into the quilt, tucked the quilt in, then turned and left.
…
In the Queen's Palace.
Li Chengqian knelt in front of Changsun Wugou and wept silently.
"Silly boy, why are you crying?"
Changsun Wuguo stroked his son's head and said softly,
"Mom, isn't this okay?"
"Your master also said that Master Sun has superb medical skills and will help my mother nurse her back to health."
"Don't cry, don't cry..."
Li Chengqian rubbed his eyes.
"Mother is lying... In the past, you would get better after taking medicine. This time, you have taken several doses, but there is no change at all."
He trembled,
"The child went to ask his sister, but she also looked dull and refused to say anything."
"You said...are you..."
"Woooooooo..."
Li Chengqian couldn't help it and started crying again.
The eldest grandson Wugou smiled helplessly.
"It's just that this time I'm a little sicker than before. It's nothing, silly boy."
She smiled fondly and said,
"You are so old and have a wife, but you still cry all the time."
"How can this make my mother feel relieved..."
Li Chengqian shook his head repeatedly.
"Don't worry if the child doesn't want the mother. The child wants the mother to keep it in her heart. She can't let go of the child..."
He said hurriedly,
"This way, mother will never leave the child!"
The corners of Changsun Wugu's mouth raised slightly.
Cheng Qian is the eldest son. He is now almost seven feet long and is a manly man.
But in her eyes, this child will never grow up.
"Okay, okay...you careless one."
She whispered,
"Mom, I'm tired. Let's take a nap."
Ever since she fell ill, she had always fallen asleep easily, and every time she was awake for an hour, she had to sleep for three hours.
However, Sun Simiao said this was a good sign, so she slept with peace of mind.
"Mother, my child, please go and beg your father to grant me amnesty."
Li Chengqian said suddenly,
"Pardon the world, build temples, increase the virtues of the queen, and ask monks all over the world to pray for the queen, so you will definitely get better!"
"OK?"
Changsun Wugu frowned.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can I interfere with the operation of the country because of my affairs?"
She said displeasedly,
"Besides, all moral virtues are illusory. At such a young age, you shouldn't learn these things, let alone fall into them!"
"You will be the emperor in the future. The emperor cannot be confused by these messy things, otherwise he will not be able to understand political affairs."
"Your master didn't teach you this, right?"
What Xu Fenglei teaches is the "Book of Changes", but mainly the principles of being a gentleman in the "Book of Changes".
He would never mention those things that were strange and confusing.
He didn't even teach his best divination to Li Chengqian and the others, but chose another disciple to pass on the mantle.
"this……"
Li Chengqian said with a sad look on his face,
"Mother, my child also knows that this may not be of any use."
"But I really don't want to see you lying on the bed like this... I really want to do something for you..."
"This...wuwuwu..."
He had no choice but to cry again.
At this time, Changsun Wugou was completely helpless.
"I don't like to cry either. Are you following your father?"
She patted Li Chengqian's head and said,
"alright."
"As long as you are obedient, sensible, and assist your father, my mother will feel relaxed and everything will be fine."
"Go, go... Mom, take a nap and come back later."
With that said, Changsun Wugou had already closed his eyes.
She was so sleepy that she fell asleep in a second.
Looking at his mother's soft face and listening to her even breathing, Li Chengqian wiped away the tears on his face and walked out quickly.
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Highness. Why are you leaving so quickly? Wait, slave..."
"..."
An eunuch followed Li Chengqian, jogging all the way before he could barely keep up.
"I feel so uncomfortable, really uncomfortable."
Li Chengqian said painfully,
"Seeing my mother like this, but I can't do anything. Do you know this feeling..."
The eunuch beside him also sighed after hearing this.
"I can understand His Highness's mood. My mother also died of an illness."
"Since then, the slave has become an orphan that no one wants. Fortunately, by chance, he entered the palace and became an eunuch... Now he is even more lucky to be able to follow His Highness the Crown Prince."
He said, looking a little bitter.
Speaking of which, it’s all bitter tears.
If not for the pressure of life, who would be willing to join the palace as a eunuch?
"You... are also pitiful."
Li Chengqian sat on the steps and looked at the sky to prevent his tears from falling.
In the sky, a row of wild geese flew past, forming a landscape with the setting sun.
But Li Chengqian didn't have the leisure to appreciate it at this moment.
"Your Highness, I believe that the Queen will get better, really."
The little eunuch continued.
Li Chengqian nodded.
He didn't know how many times he had heard this in the past two days, but he still couldn't get enough.
However, these words can't make him feel better... After all, auspicious words are just auspicious words. They can only comfort the soul but cannot become reality.
"If you really want to do something... why not just make a big wish."
Seeing that Li Chengqian was still in a low mood, the little eunuch said again.
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows.
"What method?"
This is similar to the idea he had just now when he wanted to find a monk to pray for blessings.
It is an enhanced version of psychological comfort.
"Well...for example, you set something and then make a wish to God. As long as it can be completed, you can ask God to let the Queen get better."
The little eunuch said,
"This matter cannot be too simple, otherwise there will be no sincerity."
"My slave wants to... well, just like... I have it!"
He suddenly had an idea, looked at the wild geese in the sky, and said:
"Your Highness, just shoot the wild geese! How about that?!"
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up.
"If you can shoot a wild goose, will your mother get better?"
He rubbed his hands and murmured,
"Okay, okay, this is good..."
"this one!"
"Go now and get the bow and arrows! You need something heavier!"
"Go quickly!"
When the little eunuch saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was becoming more interested, he also smiled and ran out with a chuckle.
After a while, he ran up to Li Chengqian with a heavy bow and quiver.
"Here, Your Highness!"
Snapped!
I got the long bow, and it was indeed very heavy!
However, Li Chengqian pays attention to exercise on weekdays, and his strength is not weak.
He held the heavy bow, looked at the wild geese flying in the sky, and murmured:
"God, God..."
"If I, Li Chengqian, can shoot that wild goose, please help my mother get better."
"Please..."
squeak--
The bow is full!
Li Chengqian aimed at the lone wild goose in the sky and fired an arrow!
call out!
The arrow shot out of the air and flew towards the sky!
Li Chengqian's face showed an expectant smile, but after a few seconds, his smile froze.
The wild geese seemed to be right in front of me.
But I really want to shoot him, but he seems to be far away!
The arrow galloped in the air for a certain distance, but its power was no longer enough, and with the interference of the wind, it turned into a parabola with insufficient stamina.
Li Chengqian watched the arrow fall, feeling empty in his heart.
It seemed that his heart also fell along with it.
At this moment, the little eunuch's expression suddenly changed!
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
"That direction...that's His Majesty's palace!"
Li Chengqian: "!!!"
…
Boom!
Li Shimin heard a voice and was shocked! Eyes suddenly opened!
He didn't sleep for long, and it wasn't very deep.
People who often stay up all night know that the first sleep after an all-nighter is often a restless sleep, and they can basically only maintain a light sleep.
Li Shimin is in such a state.
Therefore, the slightest disturbance outside can wake him up!
"what sound!"
Li Shimin sat up from the dragon bed and asked.
He is an emperor on horseback and is naturally sensitive to certain sounds!
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty... there is an arrow in the yard! An arrow falling from the sky!"
Wang Zhaoyi reported with a horrified look.
Li Shimin: "!!!"
"Bring me my armor! Tell the guards immediately to ask Chang He and Li Junxian to come over!"
Without any hesitation, he directly chose to be fully armed!
Arrows can even hit his palace. This is definitely a provocation and warning!
The enemy is not far away! Maybe he is outside the palace right now, ready to assassinate himself!
At this time, no one can be trusted, only armor can bring him a sense of security.
"Yes Yes!"
Wang Zhaoyi hurried to get the armor.
Fortunately, Li Shimin likes to perform martial arts on weekdays, and he also keeps a lot of armor in the palace, so he can take advantage of it now.
Swish!
After a while, Li Shimin walked to the outer courtyard fully dressed and armed.
At this time, Chang He and Li Junxian had also heard the news and rushed over, along with thousands of forbidden troops.
"His Majesty."
Chang He knelt down on one knee and said,
"I am waiting for your escort to arrive late. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
Li Shimin had no time to be polite to them at the moment and said directly:
"Has the assassin been caught? What's the details?"
Chang He looked embarrassed and shook his head.
"I will send someone to arrest you now!"
He waved and said,
"Come here! Block all the city gates in Chang'an!"
If such a major accident occurs, if someone is not arrested and brought to justice, he, the commander of the imperial army who is responsible for protecting the emperor's safety, will not have to be the leader!
"Your Majesty, this arrow seems to be specially made by the palace."
Li Junxian stepped forward and said,
"Look, the patterns on this are only found on the arrows specially provided by the palace."
"And considering how gorgeous it is, only you can use it."
Li Shimin was stunned.
"You mean, I'm teasing you?"
he said displeased.
Li Junxian: "..."
"Your Majesty, that's not what I mean. What I mean is..."
"This shouldn't be from outside. The person who shot the arrows is from the palace... If you think about who is using these arrows, you might be able to find the culprit."
Li Shimin took the arrow, looked at it carefully, and finally nodded.
"Well, this looks familiar, it is indeed unique to the palace."
He responded,
"When I was practicing my martial arts, I also used these arrows."
"I remember... no one used it."
Who else but him would dare to practice archery in the palace?
Um……
etc?
"The prince..."
Li Shimin looked stern and said,
"I have given the prince many arrows like this!"
"Let's go to the East Palace!"
Chang He and Li Junxian looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Prince?
Is it going to trigger another Xuanwu Sect uprising? !
A great emperor has just passed away, and the prince can't help it anymore. He also wants to send his majesty to the throne of the great emperor?
hiss!
Don’t think too much, absolutely don’t think too much!
It’s easy to get into trouble!
…
East Palace.
Li Chengqian knelt in front of Li Shimin and shivered.
The little eunuch beside him was even more pale and bloodless.
"Li Chengqian! Did you shoot this arrow at me?"
Li Shimin looked at his son condescendingly, his expression extremely ugly.
As soon as he arrived at the East Palace, he felt something was wrong!
Seeing his son's face, he knew...it was most likely this kid who did it!
In an instant, a burst of anger rushed to his forehead!
Already full of depression and dissatisfaction, he had nowhere to vent, but this guy did such an outrageous thing. How could Li Shimin not get angry?
"say!"
Li Er kicked his son in the leg without mercy!
This kick almost knocked Li Chengqian away!
"Father! My son... I didn't mean it. I just wanted to..."
Li Chengqian's lips trembled as he explained tremblingly. But before he could finish explaining, Li Shimin slapped him!
"Treason! You want to be the emperor! Don't you?!"
Li Er said angrily,
"You dare to shoot arrows into my palace. You are so far away from my palace. It's not intentional. Then you are very strong!"
"ah?!"
"say!"
Li Chengqian: "!!!"
"No, no! I really just want to be a mother..."
He cried and said out of breath.
"Shut up!"
The veins on Li Shimin's neck popped out and he ordered,
"How dare you mention your queen mother!"
"If your mother knew that you were doing such a rebellious thing, she would be furious with you!"
