Li Zhi cried with joy at his father's triumphant return, although Li Shimin was annoyed that he was still crying at every turn when he became the prince, but the truth was still very heartwarming.

When I asked Chu Suiliang and Fang Xuanling about several important ministers, they all praised the prince for handling state affairs in an orderly manner, and even as meticulous as silk, and many details that they did not take into account were thought of, which was gratifying.

Li Shimin also immediately checked the recital that the prince had reviewed, it was indeed concise and capable, and the wording was very tactful and delicate for some thorny issues, which was moving.

"Zhi'er, do a good job, after a hundred years of my father, I can finally hand over the country to you with confidence." Li Shimin praised happily.

"My father's longevity is better than that of Nanshan, but I can have more opportunities to go out of the palace to play, and Zhi'er will definitely stay in the palace to take care of everything for my father." Li Zhi said respectfully.

Li Shimin laughed, rewarded the prince and also rewarded the East Palace bureaucrats with a lot of property, everyone was overjoyed, this is a good situation that the emperor and the prince get along harmoniously, and the father is kind and filial piety.

But after Li Zhi went back, Li Shimin suddenly turned cold and scolded: "Wu Mei, you are so bold!" ”

Wu Mei, who was thinking about something on the side, suddenly became excited, and hurriedly knelt down, her delicate body trembled, and she lowered her head and did not dare to speak.

"Wu Mei, are you guilty?!" Li Shimin asked again.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Mei stammered, didn't dare to admit her guilt, and didn't dare to say that she was not guilty, raised her eyes to look at Yuan Ziyan, Li Shimin said angrily: "It's useless to look at anyone, you rely on the protection of the national teacher, and you are bold." How can I spare you? ”

"Shimin, why are you so angry with Pauline, you have something to say." Yuan Ziyan hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him. pulled Li Shimin to sit down and gently patted his back for him.

"Hmph, they are all good apprentices you handed over!" Li Shimin was displeased and picked up the two notebooks, "The national teacher is a product of the dynasty, so he can naturally assist me in handling the government." As a concubine of the Imperial Court, you dare to imitate my handwriting! Even the vivid imitation of the prince's handwriting, I almost had to be fooled! ”

"Damn the concubine!" So far. Wu Mei didn't dare to cover it up anymore and pleaded guilty on the ground.

"Wu Mei, you have to remember at all times. I rely on the national teacher, but it has nothing to do with you. Don't think that you have read a few more books, and you have served me for many years, and you want to meddle in the government! Li Shimin said loudly.

"Your Majesty. The concubine was convicted. The concubine is guilty! Wu Mei said with a depressed face: "The prince has been weak since he was a child, the government is cumbersome, and he has fainted several times, because he is so strong, he never refuses to declare the imperial doctor, and even Lord Fang doesn't know it." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Li Shimin frowned and asked.

"Exactly, many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace can testify." Wu Mei said with tears in her eyes: "The prince grew up on the back of his concubine and said something disobedient. The concubine treated him like his own brother, and he really couldn't bear to overwork. Therefore, let the prince close his eyes and rest, and read the recital to him, the instructions on it are all from the prince and Lord Chu, the concubine does not dare to interfere in the government and politics, but the prince dictates, and the concubine writes for him. ”

Yuan Ziyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Li Shimin's eyes were like torches, and he found the clues of the twists and turns so easily, Wu Mei knew that she couldn't hide from it, and it was the wisest answer to classify the relationship between the two as sisters and brothers.

As for the pen, presumably Li Zhi will also reply in the same way, and he will never dare to admit that Wu Mei has full authority to do the work for him.

"Hmph, I will definitely ask the prince as a good student in the future, if there is a discrepancy, I will never spare you!" Li Shimin said, Wu Mei kowtowed, and the cerebellum was oozing blood.

Yuan Ziyan was extremely distressed, and sighed: "Shimin, it's hard for these two children. I think what Bollywood said should be right, Zhi'er is weak, and it is difficult for him these days. Your quietly charming chin is pointed, and your eyes are sunken, so you should not be less affected. ”

"Stand down." Li Shimin drank Wu Mei back, and Wu Mei hurriedly retreated out of the house as if she had been granted amnesty.

Li Shimin's face was pale and he didn't speak for a long time, and only after a long time did he complain and said: "Ziyan, the back court is not allowed to interfere in politics, you are an important minister in the court, it is not comparable to Wu Mei, don't let these women want to get into the wrong and influence the government." ”

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Hey, don't I want to spend some time with you, so I let Pauli's kid do some odd jobs. Yuan Ziyan put on a gentle appearance, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, held her hand in his palm, and said deliberately: "Who told you not to let me pet Xing Wumei, let her put her mind on these things, where should a woman do?" ”

"Okay, okay! Then you will pamper her tonight, and then make her a noble concubine, so that the courtiers and the people will say that the national teacher has manipulated the back court! Yuan Ziyan feigned anger and struggled to break free from Li Shimin's hand.

Haha, how could Li Shimin let go so easily, took Yuan Ziyan in his arms, and said affectionately: "Ziyan, it is enough for me to have you alone, as for Bollywood, it is not my fault to let her down, she has to blame you." ”

"Why is it that everything seems like my fault?" Yuan Ziyan giggled, Li Shimin looked in a daze, his eyebrows were picturesque, out of the dust, it was this silver bell-like laughter that reached his ears, it was like a clear spring, making people's whole body comfortable.

"Ziyan, be my queen, right?" Li Shimin said emotionally.

"It's okay to be your queen mother." Yuan Ziyan said with a wink.

Li Shimin grinned, what he meant was to let him abdicate and become the emperor. Li Shimin couldn't help sighing, let go of his hand, and said gloomily: "Although Zhi'er has become a tool and has made rapid progress, it always makes me feel at ease. This great foundation has poured my life's work into it, how can it be ruined? ”

"Okay, don't think about it so much. Shimin, you don't look very good, why don't you lie down and sleep for a while? Yuan Ziyan persuaded him.

Being reminded like this, Li Shimin also felt a little tired, and he really fell asleep, and only after he fell asleep did Yuan Ziyan rub his sore shoulders and return to his Meng Lanxuan.

Wu Mei was still frightened, her little face was pale, and she was very pitiful. Yuan Ziyan comforted: "Paulie, it's okay to have me, don't worry." ”

"Auntie!" Wu Mei couldn't bear it, threw herself into Yuan Ziyan's arms, and choked up: "Baolai has never been favored by His Majesty, and there are many people in the palace who are openly and secretly ridiculed. Now that the prince is looking at him differently, Bollywood only wants to repay with all his might, and has no other thoughts. Auntie, I, I,"

"Shhhh Yuan Ziyan rubbed Wu Mei's head distressedly, and said quietly: "In life, if you want to achieve great things, you can't care about the eyes of the world. You grovel for the world, but in the end, who can save you. Paulaine, or that sentence, there is an aunt here, not afraid, ah? ”

Well! Wu Mei nodded heavily, and was also persuaded by Yuan Ziyan to go back to rest. After Yuan Ziyan finished washing, he lay down groggyly, thinking that after chatting with Wu Mei for so long, it was time for Shimin to wake up, right?

Yuan Ziyan thought about it, her eyelids fought, and she couldn't help but fall asleep. When I opened my eyes again, it was already dusk, so I hurriedly got up and complained to the palace maid: "Why didn't you wake me up so late, I don't know how much I have to delay!" ”

"National teacher, the father-in-law of the Shicai Taiji Hall specially came to pass the word, saying that His Majesty has not woken up yet, let the national teacher rest for a while." The palace maid hurriedly explained.

Oh, it turns out that Li Shimin is still taking a nap, so let's lie down for a while, I'm not hungry anyway. Yuan Ziyan slept for more than an hour, the night outside had completely darkened, and he couldn't see his fingers in the dark, so he got up suspiciously, and at this time Baolai also brought a hot meal, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I slept really long this night." ”

"It's a long one." Yuan Ziyan asked again, "Your Majesty is awake?" ”

"I haven't summoned my aunt, so I guess I'm still asleep." Wu Mei replied.

"Why do you sleep so long?" Yuan Ziyan was very puzzled, but he suddenly panicked in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and change my clothes!" ”

After putting it on, Yuan Ziyan didn't care about waiting for Wu Mei to be his companion, holding the night pearl in his hand, reciting the incantation silently, and his body fell into the Taiji Hall like a meteor.

The eunuchs outside the hall were also napping, and when they saw the sudden arrival of the national teacher, they hurriedly got up, Yuan Ziyan waved his hand and asked, "What about Your Majesty?" ”

"Still sleeping."

"Even if it's only three or four hours at night, why did you sleep for so long?" Yuan Ziyan frowned and asked, with such a reminder, the eunuch was also stunned and hurriedly ran inside.

The room was quiet, Li Shimin was lying upright on the bed, Yuan Ziyan's heart trembled, he rushed over, and put his face on Li Shimin's chest, fortunately, his heartbeat was normal, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shimin, get up and eat something and go to sleep?" Yuan Ziyan shouted softly.

And Li Shimin didn't seem to hear it, Yuan Ziyan shouted two more words, and pushed Li Shimin, but he didn't react at all. Yuan Ziyan's face was gloomy, and he scolded: "How do you take care of Your Majesty, quickly announce the imperial doctor!" ”

The imperial doctor hurriedly came, and after taking the pulse, he was also shocked into a cold sweat, it turned out that Li Shimin was currently in a coma, and if he was half an hour late, he was afraid that his life would not be saved. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and a bad luck was averted.

However, the imperial doctor also expressed great concern about Li Shimin's body, His Majesty's body is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and the deficit is huge.

The ministers were naturally worried about this conclusion, and many people cried bitterly, but although Yuan Ziyan was sad in his heart, he also knew that the destiny of heaven was difficult to violate, and it was difficult for anyone to escape life and death.

"Don't think about it, Your Majesty is nothing more than a march, and he is not young, all of them are a little tired, just rest for a while. As for the affairs of the court, the crown prince and the ministers will try to assist in handling them, so as to reduce His Majesty's worries and recuperate. Yuan Ziyan said.

"Yes!" The crowd echoed in unison.

"National teacher, can you invite a senior monk into the palace to chant and pray for Your Majesty?" Fang Xuanling asked tentatively.

Yuan Ziyan smiled slightly: "What Lord Fang said is extremely true, Your Majesty is blessed with all the heavens, and it won't be long before a real monk will appear." (To be continued......)
