The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1326
"It's just an alchemist, why should Li Anyan pay attention to an alchemist?"

"The alchemist claimed to have the method of longevity, and he has lived for two hundred years. It seems that the father believes in it. He set up a pill room in the West Inner Garden for the alchemist to make alchemy. At the beginning, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng also I was arranged by my father to do such things, but it was nothing later. I thought that my father would no longer believe in these things. Now it seems that my father still believes. Moreover, the letter also said that my father My health seems to be a bit unwell recently." Li Zhi said, "Perhaps it is because of this that Father is in a hurry."

Li Zhi sat at the table and touched his chin. Now Li Zhi's chin has grown green stubble, and he looks more mature and stable than before.

"Father's body is the root cause of his illness in his early years. He suffered a lot of injuries during the war in the north and south. Moreover, his father suffered from wind disease. Now Li Anyan said that his father's health is getting worse and worse. It seems that the situation is serious. We need to urge Li Anyan more, we can't be so slow anymore, the time left seems to be running out."

"How about my husband?" Wang asked.

"Li Anyan said that he would look for opportunities to contact the alchemist. If he can win over the alchemist, things will be much easier. At least, we will have a very capable eyes and ears in the palace." Li Zhi said: "Besides Besides, I can't stay in this palace any longer, I have to find a way to go out first."

"Didn't your husband say a few days ago that you want to keep a low profile? Is Li Anyan ready outside?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "Li Anyan has been acting all the time, bribing court officials and some remote dignitaries in the royal family. These people were sent to other places in the father's generation, far away from Chang'an. If you want to return to Chang'an in this life , or return to the court to take control of the power, only support me, so I have also attracted many people, and they will stay in Chang'an City for the time being before they return to the fief or their hometown after the year."

"But those people are almost speechless in the court. Can my husband succeed by relying on them?"

"If it doesn't work, it must be done. If one day, the palace really changes suddenly, I will never have a chance to go out from here in my life." Li Zhi sighed: "It's best to do this matter." I will meet with Li Anyan in person and have a good talk, otherwise it is not appropriate to just exchange letters."

The alchemist is in the elixir room of the West Neiyuan, and the body of His Majesty Li Er is being treated by the imperial doctor while waiting for the alchemist's elixir. No one knows how long His Majesty Li Er has left, although he has not arrived yet Even the state affairs can't be dealt with, but the wind disease, once it attacks, can make His Majesty Li Er bedridden and torture people to be irritable and irritable. Under such circumstances, the emperor can't deal with political affairs. It will fall on the prince.

Once something unexpected happened to His Majesty Li Er, the crown prince would be able to step up immediately. After the crown prince took over, Li Zhi would have no chance.

Therefore, Li Zhi was in a hurry, anxious to instigate his plan with Li Anyan while His Majesty Li Er was still in power.

"Tomorrow, I will ask someone to enter the palace to bring a message to the queen mother." Li Zhi said.

"The concubine is with my husband."

Li Zhi frowned slightly, then looked at the sleeping child lying on the bed, and nodded slightly.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Zhi bought a servant from the royal residence and took his letter to the palace. He only had to hand the letter to the guard at the gate of the imperial city and instruct the guard to deliver it to the Lizheng Hall. It was not a difficult task.

Li Zhi wanted to enter the palace, either to meet Empress Changsun, or to meet His Majesty Li Er. In short, he wanted to see the empress with his own eyes and see for himself what the current situation in the palace was like.

Li Anyan couldn't do this. After he was cut down from the East Palace, he had almost no chance to enter the palace anymore, so how the palace is doing now, there is nothing else except to bribe the eunuchs and maids in the palace to inquire about it. Law.

As for ordinary eunuchs and maids, it is not easy to find out what is going on in the emperor's palace. It is very likely that they will be arrested by the guards or hidden guards in the palace before they hear the news. If Li Anyan is recruited, the loss outweighs the gain.

Therefore, it was safest for Li Zhi to go by himself, in the name of a filial son who cared about the queen and worried about the emperor's health, and no one had any reason to stop him.

Although he is in the house of the Sixteen Kings, he is still the son of His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun. In the eyes of others, there are thousands of mistakes, and the heart of filial piety is always right. Therefore, no one will hinder Li Zhijin Palace to visit His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun.

The servant in the sixteenth king's house delivered the letter to the guard at the gate of the imperial city, and waited for a reply at the gate of the palace, while the guard entered the palace city and asked someone to deliver the letter to the Lizheng Hall.

Empress Changsun is not in the Lizheng Palace at this moment, but went to Dongshang Pavilion. His Majesty Li Er has not been in good health for the past two days and has been bedridden in Dongshang Pavilion to recuperate from illness. Therefore, Empress Changsun wants to persuade His Majesty Li Er He didn't listen to the alchemist's words, but he just took care of His Majesty Li Er wholeheartedly.

His Majesty Li Er was not seriously ill, the imperial doctor prescribed medicine, and urged His Majesty Li Er to take a good rest for a few days, and then try to improve the effect. After leaving Prince Li Chengqian, he went to the East Pavilion for the time being to cultivate himself.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has already sent people out of the palace to invite Daoist Sun. If Daoist Sun can enter the palace to treat His Majesty, it will surely relieve His Majesty's pain." Empress Changsun put the medicine bowl on the tray in the maid's hand, turned her head, Serve His Majesty Li Er to lie down and cover him with a quilt.

"I've been ill in bed for the past two days, I've thanked you for your hard work." His Majesty Li Er held the hand of Empress Changsun and asked, "Is everything safe in the court?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is not the first time that the Crown Prince has supervised the country on behalf of His Majesty. If there is any matter that the Crown Prince cannot decide, the Crown Prince will definitely come to inform His Majesty." Empress Changsun said, "Your Majesty, rest assured to take care of yourself in the bedroom."

"This is an old problem, and I know it well." His Majesty Li Er sighed, "During the old age, the late emperor was not like me."

"Your Majesty, don't think too much. You will be fine if you follow the doctor's advice." Empress Changsun comforted her with a smile, "Isn't the concubine just an example? The body is only getting better step by step through years of recuperation."

"Ah~~ I'm not like a queen, why don't I know it, but I can't let it go." His Majesty Li Er said with a helpless smile.

The emperor and empress were talking in the bedroom of His Majesty Li Er in Dongshang Pavilion when the eunuch outside came in.

"Reporting to Your Majesty and Empress, the people from the Lizheng Palace brought the guards at the gate of the palace, and said that the nine princes in the sixteen king's residences have a letter to the Empress."
