The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 73
The three of Li Chengqian rushed back to the palace non-stop. They didn't have time to change their clothes, so they went directly to the Lizheng Hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a room full of people. Two imperial physicians from the imperial hospital stood aside. Sun Simiao sat on a stool beside the bed. His Majesty Li Er stood behind Sun Simiao nervously. Standing at the side tremblingly, the atmosphere was quiet and strange.

The three of Li Chengqian stood silently behind His Majesty Li Er. After a while, Concubine Yin Yang also brought the maids and eunuchs to the Lizheng Hall. Seeing that her son was also in the hall, Concubine Yang signaled him to come to her side.

Seeing his mother's signal, Li Ke obediently came to Concubine Yang's side.

After a while, Sun Simiao pulled out the silver needles from Empress Changsun's body one by one and put them away.

"Daozhang Sun, my queen."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Pindao has already given the needle. The empress is an old disease, and it is inevitable that it will break out at the turn of spring and winter. However, the empress's body cannot be overworked, and she must take good care of her. .” Sun Simiao said slowly.

"Daoist, is it true that the Queen's disease cannot be cured?" His Majesty Li Er once again looked at Sun Simiao with hope.

Sun Simiao sighed, although he couldn't bear it, he shook his head lightly and said: "At least until now, Pindao has not found a way to completely cure the empress, so he can only raise her carefully. Chang'an is dry and cold in spring. , the climate in the Lizheng Palace is too dry, not suitable for the condition of the empress."

His Majesty Li Er heard the words, the disappointment in his eyes was clearly visible, and he cupped his hands at Sun Simiao: "I heard that Taoist Sun has been traveling all over the world. I have a heartless request, and I hope the Taoist will agree."

"Don't dare, please speak, Your Majesty." Sun Simiao quickly bowed and saluted.

"I would like to ask the Taoist priest to stay in Chang'an temporarily to take care of the queen. Everything the Taoist priest needs in Chang'an City will be taken care of by the House of Internal Affairs. I hope the Taoist priest will agree."

Sun Simiao also thought that His Majesty Li Er would definitely keep him in Chang'an because of Empress Changsun's illness. He sighed in his heart and said, "Since Your Majesty has spoken, the poor will stay in Chang'an for the time being."

"Thank you, Daoist." The whole day, until this moment, Li Er didn't show a little smile on his face.

Concubine Yang and Concubine Yin Li Er were in a better mood, so they came to visit. At this time, Empress Changsun who was lying on the bed also woke up leisurely. Upon hearing the movement, His Majesty Li Er hurried to the bedside, sat on the edge of the bed, Holding Empress Changsun's hand, she looked at Empress Changsun with burning eyes.

"Your Majesty." Empress Zhangsun who just woke up looked very weak, and her voice was a little hoarse.

"Guanyin servant girl, how do you feel?"

"It's much better." Empress Changsun said with difficulty, seeing Concubine Yin and Concubine Yang behind Li Er, she smiled and nodded at them.

"My sister was suddenly ill, which frightened the sisters. My sister's family sent some wild mushrooms from last year, and they have already sent someone to bring them over. I will let the imperial doctor cook some. My sister is weak now, so I should take some supplements." That's right." Concubine Yin said with concern.

Standing behind Concubine Yin, Concubine Yang was relieved to see Empress Changsun waking up with a rosy complexion. When Empress Changsun looked at her, she also nodded kindly and smiled.

Concubine Yang's eldest son, Empress Sun, knew about Concubine Yang's temperament, so Concubine Yang's actions were not disrespectful.

Seeing many people in the room, His Majesty Li Er got up and waved his hands: "Stay back, let the queen rest for a while, Chengqian and Qingque, you two stay with your mother, Ke'er, you just came back from outside. Let's go back to the palace with your mother and concubine to have a good reunion."

"No." Everyone responded.

"Avalokitesvara." His Majesty Li Er turned around to look at Empress Changsun: "I still have some papers to deal with, so let Chengqian and Qingque accompany you, and I will come back later." Li Er was worried about his eldest grandson. The queen's illness, so I hurried to the Lizheng Palace, and now I see that the grandson queen is fine, and I remembered the book that I threw on the case, the Jiangling drought, and the head of the household department waiting for me in the imperial study. , Thinking of these things, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"Your Majesty should put state affairs first," said Empress Changsun.

With just one sentence, Li Er's heart warmed up, what more could a husband ask for if he got a wife like this.

After His Majesty Li Er left, only Yuaner, the personal maid of Empress Changsun, and brothers Li Chengqian were left in the palace. Seeing His Majesty Li Er leaving, they walked to Empress Changsun's bed. Li Chengqian sat on the bed, and Li Tai It was sitting on the Hu stool that Sun Simiao had just sat on.

With Li Chengqian's support, Empress Changsun sat up, and Li Tai quickly took a pillow and put it on Empress Changsun's back.

"Chengqian, Qingque, the clothes you two are wearing, are you out of the palace?"

Li Chengqian nodded: "Yes, I was outside the palace with my third brother and Qingque just now." Li Chengqian didn't hide anything about Empress Changsun.

"Qingque has been running outside the palace for the past few days. The empress mother knows about it. Why did Chengqian follow her out today." Empress Changsun laughed.

"Brother and I are going to see Shijing." Li Tai answered.

"Oh?" Empress Changsun smiled: "Recently, you two brothers and Jing'er are getting close, that's good, I think you can also see that the empress mother and your father treat Jing'er just like you, even your father. The emperor loves Jing'er far more than you, and you know the reason for this. In the past few years, your father has always felt guilty. Every time he sees Jing'er, he always thinks of your Uncle Mingde. Standing in front of the gate of Taiji Palace and looking at Xuanweihou's Mansion, Fang sighed to Suye, Mingde didn't have to go through this muddy water back then, so it wouldn't have happened." Empress Changsun sighed after saying this.

"Mother, we all know this. Both Qingque and I regard Shijing as a younger brother, and although Shijing is young, he is talented and smart. I am very happy to have such a younger brother." Li Chengqian said , looked at Li Tai again, Li Tai took out the contract given by Xuan Shijing in Huaizhong, and handed it to Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian also took out the contract, and handed it to Empress Changsun: "This time I am leaving the palace. , Shijing also gave us brothers a big gift."

Empress Changsun took over the contract, unfolded it and looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more interesting it became, Sheng Tang Group Co., Ltd.?The word "Prosperous Tang Dynasty" is very suitable for me. From the literal point of view, it must be that Jing'er formed an industry, and then dragged Chengqian and Qingque into the water. After thinking about it, Empress Changsun couldn't help laughing, This Jing'er is really good at tossing, and has a lot of careful thoughts, forget it, let him go.

Returning the contract to Li Chengqian and Li Tai, Li Tai asked: "Why doesn't the mother keep it for us?"

Li Chengqian looked at Empress Changsun in confusion.

"Jing'er gave this to you brothers. You brothers are usually diligent and thrifty, and food and clothing are considered urgent, especially Chengqian. Mrs. Sui'an mentioned it to the queen mother many times, but in recent years, there have been natural disasters and military disasters. The national treasury is empty, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not rich, so I have been shelving this matter, and now Jing'er will share it with you, so you can each subsidize the expenses of your palace."

Li Chengqian and Li Tai nodded, and each took back the contract.

What Empress Changsun didn't expect was that Li Chengqian and Li Taina's upcoming share could only be used to subsidize expenses.She also just thought that Xuan Shijing's property was just a small business, and it was just a source of income for the Hou family.
