Chapter 54
After hearing this, Li Shimin let out a long breath and immediately arranged for Li Chengqian to return to the palace.

Li Chengqian, who was lying on the hospital bed, stopped him and said weakly:
"Father, mother. Your son's illness has made you worried."

"I can't leave here now. If I leave now, it will be confirmed that the Locust God will bite me back."

"Besides, my body is caused by fatigue, and the same goes for cultivating here."

After hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian on the hospital bed and fell into deep thought.

He knew in his heart that Li Chengqian's current situation could affect the whole body.

If Li Chengqian returns to the palace to recuperate now, rumors will spread tomorrow, and the locust exterminators who are fighting on the front line will stop exterminating locusts because they are afraid of the backlash of the locust god.

And once it stops, the entire Datang economy will suffer a huge blow.

All previously deployed strategies must be changed, which means that the whole thing will become uncontrollable.

Even violence will inevitably happen.

Thinking of this, he said to Li Chengqian in a deep voice:

"Chengqian, you are very considerate. Fortunately, there are no major health problems with you, and it is the same for you to recuperate here."

"I asked the imperial doctors to be here and take good care of you."

"Explain it to your mother."

Li Chengqian hummed, picked up the silk handkerchief beside him, wiped his eldest grandson's tears and said:

"Mom, don't worry about me. I can't leave now, if I leave."

After hearing all this, Changsun held Li Chengqian's hand tighter and looked at the two men beside her.

One is the man he loves deeply, and the other is his most beloved son.

Choked up and said:

"I agree to whatever you do, even if it costs my life."

"Since you all say so, I won't stop you."

"You have a good rest. I'll have someone send you some more good tonics in a moment."

He pulled Li Chengqian and said some heartfelt words, and then reluctantly left the barracks.

After returning to Qingning Palace with Li Shimin, she waited for Li Shimin to fall asleep, then stood up gently, took two maids close to her, and went straight to the Sanqing Hall in the palace, knelt down in front of Sanqing, and prayed softly:

Praying to Sanqing Immortal to restore her son to health as soon as possible;
Let her husband stop working so hard;
Let this terrible locust plague pass soon;

Let the common people no longer suffer from hunger;

While praying, she seemed to have returned to her childhood, seeing her mother who loved her most, and her mother struggling in pain before the bed.
This ill-fated strange woman finally reached the point where her life was exhausted, and Li Chengqian's illness became the last straw that overwhelmed her body.

She couldn't hold on any longer, and as her breathing gradually became difficult, everything in front of her began to become blurry.

She covered her chest and breathed hard.

There was a 'pop' sound, and a mouthful of bright red blood spurted out from her mouth, and she fainted and fell to the ground.

The two maids guarding the door heard something strange in the palace, so they quickly opened the door and walked in quickly.

When he saw his eldest grandson lying on the ground, he was immediately frightened out of his mind.

The two of them hurriedly ran to their eldest grandson. When they saw the dazzling blood in front of her and the blood stains on her clothes, they knew something was wrong.

He quickly called the guards on duty at the entrance of the palace and asked them to help Empress Changsun to the side hall to rest. He also asked the guards to quickly call for the imperial doctor.

One of them stayed by the eldest grandson's side, and the other went to report to Li Shimin.

At this time, it was just dawn, and Li Shimin, who was half asleep, heard a palace maid calling him, and subconsciously started to do something.

I used to hold the quilt to cover my eldest grandson next to me, but I found that there was no one around me at all.

Only then did I hear the report from the palace maid, saying that the queen fainted while praying for the prince in Sanqing Hall.He was secretly surprised, knowing that his eldest grandson was worried about Li Chengqian's health and felt melancholy, so he went to Sanqing Hall to pray for his son.

Thinking of this, he suppressed his sadness and hurried to Sanqing Hall.Everyone behind him had to jog to catch up with him.

When they arrived at the side hall, the imperial doctor had already arrived and was taking the Queen's pulse.

After seeing Li Shimin coming, he had to stand up and salute him.

With a livid face, Li Shimin waved his hand at him, indicating that he should continue taking his pulse.

He stood by the bed, looking at his eldest grandson's pale face without any blood, secretly blaming himself.

She should not be allowed to go to see Li Chengqian together;

He shouldn't have slept so hard, he should have chatted with her more to ease her mood;
We should accompany her to the Sanqing Hall to pray for blessings.

After a long while, the imperial doctor finished taking his pulse.

When Li Shimin saw this, he immediately urged him:
"What's going on with Maid Guanyin?"

"It won't be a big problem, will it?"

"Is it the same as Cheng Qian? It's due to overwork. Just take a rest."

After hearing this, the imperial doctor's expression changed. He knelt down with a thud and said to Li Shimin:

"Your Majesty, the Queen's illness is caused by heredity and the accumulation of heart muscle over the years. It cannot be cured by the power of medicine or stone."

"We have reached the point where we are running out of gas. Weichen's medical skills are shallow and there is nothing he can do."

After speaking, he kowtowed repeatedly.

After hearing this, Li Shimin could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
"What's the point of raising a bunch of trash like you?"

"Last time, I said it couldn't be saved by the power of medicine and stone. This time, I said it can't be saved by the power of medicine and stone."

"Come here, take him to the prison."

After hearing these words, the imperial doctor couldn't help but be stunned and collapsed directly to the ground.

The maids and eunuchs in the palace fell to their knees and did not dare to express their anger.

The guard at the door stepped in and was about to pull the imperial doctor out.

Perhaps Li Shimin's loud voice woke up the unconscious eldest grandson. She opened her eyes, looked at the chaotic scene in front of her, and quickly understood what was going on.

She weakly propped herself up and said to Li Shimin:
"Second brother, you know my body well and it has nothing to do with the imperial doctor."

"Don't take it too seriously, just forgive him."

Li Shimin initially felt an unknown fire burning in his heart. After listening to Changsun's words, he only felt that the flames were extinguished by her words like a trickling rain.

He had already reached his eldest grandson's side and waved his hand to the guard: "Let him go. Listen to the Queen."

After hearing this, the imperial doctor thanked him again and again.

Li Shimin ignored the imperial doctor, looked down at his eldest grandson, and said softly:

"Guanyin Maid, please rest here for a while, I will stay with you."

"After you have rested, we will return to Qingning Palace together."

The eldest grandson looked at the sky outside, and reminded in a weak voice:
"Second brother, is it time for you to go to court?"

Li Shimin hummed and said:

"I've just made arrangements. I won't go to court today. I'll be here with you."

"If I don't stay with you, I won't feel at ease."

After hearing this, Changsun couldn't help coughing, and a trace of blush appeared on his pale face.
