Chapter 357 Broken Leg
Yankangfang, Chu Wangfu, horse farm.

Li Ke's Chu Palace was inherited from the residence of Yang Su, a former power minister of the Sui Dynasty. It occupies a large area and is very beautiful. Moreover, Yang Su was born in the army and was a military official. Therefore, the Chu Palace naturally has a horse farm. The Chu Palace's horse farm is in the backyard of the palace. , very generous.

"Your Highness, look, since Dingbei entered the stables yesterday, the other horses in the mansion have not eaten for a day." Beside the stables of Chuwangfu's horse farm, the steward pointed to Li Ke's new Dingbei yesterday, and complained to Li Ke. road.

Although Li Ke is a prince, he is a military official, and he is good at riding and shooting. Therefore, Li Ke's Chu Palace also has many fine horses. There are more than ten horses in total, and all of them are good ones.
Most of these horses have some origins, some were given by Li Shimin, some were given by Su Dingfang, Zhang Gongjin and other generals who were close to Li Ke, and some were bought at a high price by themselves, but these horses have different origins. , but no matter which one is placed in the world, it is worth a thousand gold, which is rare.

But now, these good horses, including Qinghai Cong, the tribute horse that Taipusi just assigned to Li Ke, have been squeezed into the half of the stable by the newcomer Dingbei. With an empty stomach, there is only one horse in Dingbei. The horses monopolize half of the stables, feasting on the horse feed in the manger, while the other horses can only watch from the side, not daring to approach.

Seeing this, Li Ke asked the steward, "When did this start?"

The steward replied truthfully: "It has been like this ever since Dingbei was brought to the stable yesterday afternoon, and just last night, that Qinghai Cong, who had just arrived for a few days, had a conflict with Dingbei, and his ear called Dingbei to bite. hurt."

Li Ke asked in surprise: "Bite? Is Qinghai Cong in serious trouble?"

If there is any fight between horses, most of them kick with their hoofs, but they rarely bite. This Dingbei is really arrogant and untamed.

The steward replied: "Last night after Qinghai Cong was injured, the villain took a look at it. Qinghai Cong's injury is not a problem, it will be healed after a few days of care, but it is not an option to continue like this."

Li Ke asked: "Then why don't you take Dingbei out and resettle him elsewhere?"

The steward gave a wry smile, and replied: "The villain also thinks about it, but since His Highness personally led Dingbei into the stable yesterday, no one else can get close to him except for stuffing, besides, Dingbei was rewarded by His Majesty, bestowed by Emperor Ziwei. Your Highness's divine horse, how dare I offend you."

Nowadays, there are rumors in Chang'an that when Li Ke descended from his horse, Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole sent thunder to help him. Therefore, everyone thinks that Dingbei is the horse bestowed on Li Ke by Emperor Ziwei. .

Hearing this, Li Ke laughed, and had no choice but to say to the steward: "In that case, then you can discuss with Dan'er to set up another horse farm in the mansion, which will be reserved for feeding Dingbei."

The steward asked: "Then I don't know where to build another horse farm according to His Highness's intention?"

Li Ke thought for a while, and replied: "Let's demolish the corner courtyard on the west side. The west corner courtyard faces the street, so as not to disturb the people, so I demolished it as a horse farm."

Li Ke's Chu Palace covers an area of ​​twelve hectares and has more than a thousand rooms. It has been almost four years since Li Ke moved into the Chu Palace, and he has never visited it. As for the Xijiaoyuan, Li Ke has never been there, so it was demolished. It doesn't matter.

"No, the villain will make arrangements now." The steward took the order and went down to discuss with Dan'er.

After the steward left, Li Ke went to the stables and took a look at this Dingbei who was running amok in the racecourse.

This Dingbeiguo was a good horse, and he was very vicious towards others, but he only knew Li Ke. When he saw Li Ke approaching, he raised his head and let out a long neigh to Li Ke, snorting hot air from his nostrils, and leaned against Li Ke to show his closeness.

Seeing this, Li Ke also raised his hand, and touched Dingbei's horse's neck affectionately, and personally combed Dingbei's snow-white mane like flowing clouds.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Li Ke didn't stay in the stable for more than a cup of tea. At this time, Dan'er, who was supposed to discuss with the steward of the racecourse about building another racecourse, suddenly walked in and came to Li Ke's side.

Li Ke looked up at Dan'er, and saw that Dan'er had a solemn expression and shortness of breath, apparently trotting all the way here.

"Why are you so flustered?" Li Ke asked Dan'er.

Dan'er replied: "Your Highness, according to the news from the East Palace, the prince fell off his horse in the East Palace and passed out on the spot. The situation is still unclear."

The prince fell off the horse!

Hearing these four words, Li Ke's pupils dilated suddenly, a gleam flashed in his eyes, he rubbed his hands, and immediately told Dan'er: "Go, change clothes for me, and enter the palace with me."

East Palace, the Prince's sleeping hall, Guangtian Hall.

Ever since Li Chengqian fell off his horse, he was escorted to this place. While telling the imperial physician to come quickly for diagnosis and treatment, he rushed to the palace to inform Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Li Chengqian was the crown prince of the dynasty, and his affairs involved the country's roots and had important ties. In addition, Li Chengqian was the most favored by Li Shimin. As soon as Li Shimin heard about this, he hurried from Taiji Palace to Guangtian Palace with Empress Changsun.

Li Shimin rushed all the way, and as soon as he arrived at Guangtian Hall, he saw Li Chengqian lying motionless on the bed in the hall. He was very anxious, and hurriedly asked Li Lianxin, the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Office, "Emperor Li, how is the prince?" ?”

Li Lianxin looked at Li Chengqian's slightly pale face, put down Li Chengqian's wrist, stood up and replied to Li Shimin: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the prince is in a state of fainting, it must be because of the unbearable pain after falling from the horse, that's why it is so."

Li Shimin then asked: "What? He's in a coma, is there something wrong with the crown prince?"

Li Lianxin sighed, and replied: "The prince is just fainted from the pain, he can wake up with more rest, just a little adjustment, his life should be fine, it's just..."

As Li Lianxin spoke, she suddenly stopped.

Li Shimin looked at Li Lianxin's appearance, felt a "thump" in his heart, and asked uneasily, "Just what?"

Li Lianxin lowered her head, looked at Li Chengqian's right leg, and replied to Li Shimin: "It's just that the prince's right leg hit the stone pier. The injury is extremely serious and difficult to treat. I'm afraid he will become disabled in the future."

Hearing Li Lianxin's words, Li Shimin's heart was shocked, he suddenly felt short of breath, and his chest felt uncomfortably tight. As for Empress Changsun who was standing beside Li Shimin, her eyes darkened and she almost passed out.

Li Chengqian is different from ordinary princes, he is a prince. Both Li Shimin and Empress Changsun have high hopes for him. Li Chengqian, just like his name, will inherit the state and become emperor in the future, but now Li Chengqian's leg is actually broken, and even He will become disabled. Empress Changsun suddenly heard such news, how could she bear it for a while.

Li Shimin hastily stretched out his hand to support the fainting Empress Changsun, and asked Li Lianxin: "As the Imperial Medical Order, you are in charge of the Imperial Medical Office, can't you even connect the prince's legs well?"

Li Lianxin replied bitterly: "Your Majesty, the prince's leg injury is different from others. The prince's leg injury is too serious, and the leg bone is completely broken. Just like a broken mirror, it is difficult to heal even if Hua Tuo is alive." , even if it is connected, I am afraid that in the future it will be unavoidable to walk with a limp."
