Great Tang princess

Hearing that his mother was ill, Li Yuechen immediately went out to drive and headed straight to Shangyang Palace.

At the same time, I didn't forget to call the medical school and ask them to send someone over to take a look.

The answer I got was that it has passed since yesterday, and I haven't returned until today.

So Li Yuechen didn't ask any more questions, and drove directly to Shangyang Palace.

Only Xiaodong and the captain of the guard, Yi Liuru, sat in the car, and the other guards rode slowly past.

All the way to Shangyang Palace, Li Yuechen drove the car directly to the door of his mother's bedroom, and then got out of the car and entered the palace.

When he came in, he saw that Liu Shenwei and Qin Minghe had brought a group of students here, while his mother was lying on the rocking chair and letting them feel the pulse.

Although the complexion is a little bad, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, and it doesn't look uncomfortable.

There was a cup of tea beside him, and he was about to pick it up and take a sip.

Seeing her daughter coming in, she smiled slightly: "Chen'er is here."

"Aniang, how do you feel? Where is it uncomfortable?" Li Yuechen came to her and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm not feeling well." Wu Zetian replied with a smile, "After all, I'm in my early octogenarians, and I think it's about the same."

"Aniang, don't talk nonsense!"

Li Yuechen turned his head and asked, "How's the diagnosis?"

Qin Minghe didn't speak, but Liu Shenwei smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, there is nothing serious."

Hearing what he said, Li Yuechen nodded, and then chatted with his mother beside him.

And everyone in the medical school also began to pack their things and prepare to leave.

When leaving, Li Yuechen sent them out.

After walking out of the hall, Li Yuechen deliberately followed Liu Shenwei and Qin Minghe to walk behind.

After the students distanced themselves from them, she asked, "What's the situation?"

After the two looked at each other, Liu Shenwei slowly said: "The Supreme Emperor used up too much energy when he was young, but now..."

"Tell me directly, how long is it?" Li Yuechen couldn't understand those medical terms, so let him be more direct.

Qin Minghe next to him said: "If you take some prescriptions for calming the nerves and nourishing qi, you should still be able to last for about half a year."

In front of Li Yuechen, they dared to tell the truth.

After hearing this, Li Yuechen's heart sank slightly.

But then nodded: "Okay! In addition, this matter must be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll understand!" The two quickly saluted and agreed.

Although the Supreme Emperor has retired long ago, her affairs will also attract the attention of many people, so it is very important to block the news.

"In addition, I will send people to look at it from time to time, so as not to make Auntie suffer too much."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this is caused by exhaustion, not a disease, and it won't be too uncomfortable." Liu Shenwei replied.

Li Yuechen nodded to show that he understood, and after sending the two of them away, he turned and returned to the bedroom.

Just after returning, Wu Zetian, who was lying on the rocking chair, looked at her with a smile on his face.

The look in his eyes that seemed to control everything made Li Yuechen couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Tell me, how long is it?" Wu Zetian asked very flatly.

Li Yuechen grinned: "What did Aunt say?"

Seeing how she was trying to fool her, Wu Zetian twitched her mouth and said with a slight smile, "I told you when you were young, don't forget whose belly you crawled out of! Chen'er thinks that you can fool me!" ?”

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen fell silent.

After all, she is not an ordinary person, but a strategist who has left a great reputation in history, and an empress with unparalleled wisdom!

After a few seconds of silence, she softly replied, "About half a year..."

Hearing her daughter's answer, she nodded slightly: "It took longer than I expected!"

"Aniang, don't be sad, maybe..."

"Maybe what? Maybe you can make the elixir of life?" Wu Zetian asked with a smile.

Li Yuechen choked on this sentence, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

However, the expression on Wu Zetian's face has not changed, it is still a calm smile: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. Why should I be sad?"

Speaking of this, he changed into a nostalgic expression again: "It's better to say, I'm still a little happy, I can finally see my man again..."

Seeing his mother so indifferent, Li Yuechen felt uncomfortable in his heart: "Mother, what wish do you have?"

"Wish? Really, I just want to see the Tang Dynasty more..." Wu Zetian smiled, "But with this body, I can't continue to go out to visit the mountains and rivers."

Li Yuechen looked at his mother with gray hair, and recalled all kinds of memories from childhood to adulthood, and couldn't help but feel sad.

When I first came to this world, I always felt that she was a murderer, and I was afraid of it for a long time.

But after these years, I found that history seems to have misunderstood her more.

Although it can't be ruled out that it's because he came to this time and space, but as a person who experienced it personally, especially as a daughter, Li Yuechen feels that his mother is great!
"Okay, don't have this expression, isn't it half a year, if you want to be sad, wait until then!" Wu Zetian was very calm, and advised with a smile, "If you really don't want to give up, come and talk to my mother for more than half a year. alright!"

"En!" Li Yuechen nodded, "Don't worry, Ma'am, the baby will come here every day!"

"No, that's a bit troublesome!" Wu Zetian waved his hand, "Just come here every now and then!"

Such a humorous answer made the originally sad atmosphere a lot, and Li Yuechen couldn't help laughing.

"All right, let's go back. You should have something to do, right?" Wu Zetian waved his hand.

"If you don't leave, I will stay here with Auntie!" Li Yuechen shook his head and refused.

"Okay, no, it's not like I'm going to die today!" Wu Zetian waved his hand, "You are the actual emperor, and you have to deal with the things that need to be dealt with!"

"I……"

"Okay, okay, let's go. I'm tired as a mother, and I'm going to sleep after lunch." Wu Zetian waved her hand and drove her out in a daze.

Seeing his mother's resolute attitude, Li Yuechen nodded: "Yes! My child understands!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and said to Zhang Chengxin: "Eunuch Zhang, I will trouble you to take care of her. Let me know as soon as there is anything!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this old slave understands!" Zhang Chengxin quickly agreed.

Then Li Yuechen confessed to his mother for a few more words before leaving.

The moment he walked out of the hall, his eyes turned red, and two teardrops silently slid down his cheeks.

When they got to the side of the car, the guards behind had already come over and were waiting by the side.

Seeing the tears on Li Yuechen's face, Yiluoru and the others couldn't help but wonder what happened.

Then Li Yuechen raised his hand to wipe away his tears: "Send three people to Xiangwang's Mansion, the Ministry of Households and the newspaper office. Tell me brother and two sisters, and immediately enter the palace and go to Jixian Palace!"

"Yes!" Yiluoru immediately agreed, and then asked the three guards to inform people.

Li Yuechen got into the car and drove to the Ministry of War.

When I arrived at the Ministry of War, I went upstairs all the way to the office of the Logistics Department.

"Yuechen? It's not easy to be willing to come to the Ministry of War." Li Xian laughed and joked when he saw his sister.

"Brother, follow me into the palace, now!" Li Yuechen said with a serious face.

Li Xian couldn't help but froze in place with this serious expression.

Li Xian knew his younger sister very well. From childhood to adulthood, she basically always had a smile on her face, and she seemed to be fooling around.

But when she started to put on such a serious expression, it meant that something big must have happened.

So he didn't speak any more, and immediately called the secretary, and after explaining a few words, he followed Li Yuechen out.

Because the cabinet is now dealing with more and more matters, the ministers and ministers in each major department are assigned secretaries.

After coming out, the brother and sister entered the palace and went straight to Jixian Hall.

When we arrived at Jixian Hall, we saw Li Xian was lying on the rocking chair chatting with Wei Lianer, with a health ball in his hand, and music playing from the phonograph beside him.

Seeing Li Yuechen and Li Xian coming in, Li Xian was a little curious. Before he could speak, he saw his sister walk over and turn off the phonograph.

Then she turned around and said to Wei Lian'er, "Sister-in-law, can I have a chat with my brother and sister alone?"

Wei Lian'er nodded: "Of course." She stood up and left.

She knew very well that Her Royal Highness had such a serious expression, something might have happened, and it was still not convenient for outsiders to know, it should be an internal matter of the royal family.

After Wei Lian'er left, Li Xian also frowned: "What happened? So serious?"

"Wait, we'll talk later when everyone is ready." Li Yuechen replied, then poured himself a cup of tea and drank it beside him.

Not long after, Li Dan and his two older sisters also came over.

Seeing that everyone was here, Li Yuechen nodded, and then waved to Sun Jingbang: "You go out too!"

"This..." Sun Jingbang turned to look at Li Xian, and seeing him nodding, he saluted and walked out.

After they all left, only my family was left in Jixian Temple.

Li Yuechen said directly: "Aniang is sick, the medical school concluded that there is still half a year at most!"

"what?"

Hearing this news, everyone was taken aback for a moment. No one could have imagined that the always good mother was running out of time.

Li Xian stood up in surprise, and then planned to go out.

"Wait!" Li Yuechen pushed him onto the chair.

"What are you waiting for? Auntie is sick, I'm going to visit her!" Li Xian raised his hand to push her away, but found that he couldn't.

Li Yuechen said: "I just came out of Shangyang Palace, don't worry, A Niang is not uncomfortable, according to the conclusion drawn by Liu Shenwei, it belongs to..."

After roughly introducing the cause of the disease, he continued: "In short, the top priority is to block the news and not let it out! Besides, veteran ministers in the court, those who should retire should do so!"

The main reason for doing this is that if the news that the Supreme Emperor's time is running out is leaked, someone will definitely want to stand up and turn over the old score.

Li Yuechen didn't want the imperial court to quarrel all day over these shitty things, it was really meaningless.

So some old ministers left over from the old mother's era, let's go if they should, so as to save blood from factional struggles and killings.

Although it is normal for the courtiers to fight, Li Yuechen still hopes that they can devote most of their energy to governing the country.

Since ancient times, many capable ministers and generals have died in factional struggles, which is really a pity.

However, now Li Xian didn't have the heart to think about that at all, so he asked eagerly, "Is Aunt okay now?"

"I've said it's all right! Your top priority at the moment is to handle the government affairs well and be the emperor well, do you know that!" Li Yuechen taught a little irritatedly.

Normally, when his younger sister taught him a lesson, Li Xian would usually listen humbly.

However, today, perhaps because my mother was ill and was very irritable, she immediately responded loudly.

"Emperor, emperor, this emperor is not what I want to be!"

This sudden and loud reply startled both sisters.

"Obviously you are the one who should be sitting here, but I am the one who handles the government affairs here every day! Now that Auntie is sick, she can't even ask a question and even want to visit?! How can there be such a reason in the world? ?!"

Li Xian's eyes were red, and the fat on his excited face was trembling: "Originally, you should be the emperor, but now I will be the emperor for you. If you don't do well, you still come to teach me?!"

Hearing that his brother lost his temper suddenly, Li Yuechen was slightly taken aback, and then a sense of guilt welled up in his heart.

Indeed, my brother never said that he wanted to be emperor, and he and his mother forced him to be emperor.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen reached out and hugged him: "Yes! It's all my fault! I'm the one who's sorry brother!"

Probably because she didn't expect her to admit her mistake directly, Li Xian, who was originally excited, calmed down all of a sudden.

I was stunned for a few seconds, and then raised my arms to hug my sister: "Brother is also wrong, I shouldn't yell at you."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe away his tears: "It's just that Auntie is sick at the moment..."

"Brother, don't worry, Auntie is fine at the moment. I didn't say you can't visit her. It's just that you can't make a big fanfare, and the news can't spread... Therefore, don't go every day." Li Yuechen explained his plan little by little.

After explaining, he said slowly: "I'll go to see Auntie every now and then, it's fine. Brother just needs to finish the job."

In half a year, the old ministers left behind by my mother will be gradually replaced from the front line, and when the time comes, let them retire and return to their hometowns, this matter will be considered resolved.

Hearing that he could go and visit, Li Xian nodded: "Okay, Brother Wei understands, I won't let A Niang down!"

Seeing that he had calmed down, the others only spoke at this moment.

Li Dan asked: "Then I don't have anything to do on weekdays, so I'll go see my mother more..."

"No, Auntie needs to rest too, don't bother her all day long! Auntie is open to this matter, don't talk too much in front of her, don't make her sad!" Li Yuechen said.

When people get old, they always have to leave, but Li Yuechen wants her to go happily.

Everyone else nodded, expressing their understanding, and will not let the news spread out for the time being.

Once the matter is decided, the matter will be much simpler, just as if nothing happened, and do what should be done.

However, three days later, Li Xian gave an order to start some personnel changes. (end of this chapter)
