Father! Princess Yuzhang, under the leadership of Li Ran, the head of the chamberlain, walked lightly in the study and screamed softly.

At this moment, Li Shimin was sitting in front of the bookcase, dealing with the disaster situation from all over the country, and his brows were tightly locked.

With the passage of time, the flood situation in various places has become more and more obvious, and in a few days, I am afraid that it will be a flood discharge, Li Shimin has a headache, as soon as the flood opens, it will be a thousand miles, not to mention that the people in the flood area will not know how many mortals they will die, and the epidemic after the disaster, and I don't know whether Liu Yiyi's prescription is feasible.

Hearing Princess Yuzhang's call, Li Shimin raised his head lightly, seeing that this girl's eyes were so red and swollen, knowing that she must have cried bitterly about the matter of the crown princess, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, from the moment the rumor came out, Li Shimin knew that Hou Ning'er's girl would not be able to escape this ending, but he didn't expect her to be so fast and so intense.

There is also that Hou Junji, let him go this time, I don't know if it's right or wrong?

"Come and sit," Li Shimin waved his hand lightly, motioned for Yu Zhang to sit next to him, put down the fold in his hand, turned his head and glanced at Yu Zhang, and said, "Did you go to the East Palace just now?" ”

"Well, Sister Ning'er's funeral, Erchen felt sad, and he remembered the prince's brother, so he went, and by the way, he also worshiped Sister Ning'er." Princess Yuzhang sat down lightly beside Li Shimin, snuggled softly in Li Shimin's arms, gently reached out to hold Li Shimin's arm, and said mournfully: "Father, you say." Well, why did Sister Ning'er commit suicide? The prince's brother is now sitting in front of Sister Ning'er's coffin, and he hasn't said a word all day, and Erchen looks very distressed. ”

As she spoke, tears flowed from Princess Yuzhang's eyes again.

"The relationship between the crown prince and the crown princess has always been very good, and the crown princess left suddenly this time, and it is reasonable for the prince to be like this. {First reading} It would be nice to have a while. Ru'er doesn't have to worry. Li Shimin patted Yuzhang's back. wiped away the tears on her face, and said softly: "If you are free in the past two days, go to the East Palace to walk around more, accompany him more, and persuade him, your brother and sister have always had a good relationship, your words." Maybe it will help. ”

"Well, Erchen knows." Princess Yuzhang nodded lightly.

"It's summer now, although the rain is coming, but the weather is still a little hot, compared to winter and spring, just now I have instructed the Ministry of Rites to put the princess into the tomb of the emperor as soon as possible, and put it into the ground. lest it be parked in the palace for a long time. There will be some incidents. Li Shimin said softly: "The funeral is scheduled for two days later, and you can go and talk to the prince in a while, so that he can be prepared." Don't lose your prestige in front of your ministers. ”

"Yes, father," Yu Zhang replied softly in Li Shimin's arms, a person who was alive a few days ago will be buried in the soil in two days, Yu Zhang's heart is always unspeakably sad, a little unacceptable, especially, Hou Ning'er is still so young.

Wiping the tears on his face, Yu Zhang opened his eyes, and saw that the table had been stacked into a fold almost a foot thick, and there were still many unannotated, knowing that Li Shimin was dealing with state affairs, he sensibly stopped bothering here, and after bowing to Li Shimin, he moved his steps lightly and walked out.

Outside the hall, the rain continued, and Yuzhang was accompanied by the servant, all the way, and came to the East Palace.

After Li Shimin's persuasion just now, Yu Zhang's heart has felt a lot better, without the report of the guards outside, she and the maid went directly into the room where the coffin of the crown princess was, Li Chengqian still sat next to the coffin, looking at Hou Ning'er, who was surrounded by ice cubes in the coffin, and said nothing.

Just last night, when he learned the news that Hou Ning'er had committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine, Li Chengqian was not surprised, this result was the best one among many endings for her. However, in his heart, Li Chengqian felt for the first time that he was reluctant to her. One day husband and wife for 100 days, the relationship between husband and wife is not something that can be broken.

There are some things that you will only know how to cherish when you lose them.

However, what is lost has been lost in the end, and no matter how much you want to cherish it, it is useless.

Yu Zhang left the little servant outside the door, walked lightly to Li Chengqian's side, stood with him, and silently accompanied him.

"Brother Prince," looking at Hou Ning'er in the coffin calmly, Yu Zhang said softly to Li Chengqian: "I went to my father's place just now, and my father said that in two days, I will bury Sister Ning'er in the imperial mausoleum and bury her in the ground. Otherwise, according to the current weather, even if there is ice to protect it, I am afraid it will not last

"Well, my father is right." Li Chengqian nodded expressionlessly, but his eyes never left the face of the crown princess.

Removing her gaze from the coffin, Yu Zhang looked at her prince brother, feeling that it had only been one night, and her prince brother seemed to have changed a lot.

Melancholy, deep, steady, no longer as complacent and impetuous, she actually saw a little bit of her father's figure from him, and really had a bit of the posture of a prince of a country.

Maybe the prince's brother has really grown up, Yu Zhang said to himself in his heart.

"Ru'er, you go back first, I just want to stay here quietly and see her for a while, after today, tomorrow, if I want to see her in the future, I will never have a chance again." Li Chengqian turned his head slightly, glanced at Yu Zhang, and said to her softly.

"No, I want to stay here with the prince's brother." Yu Zhang shook his head at Li Chengqian a little stubbornly, unwilling to leave.

"I also want to spend a little more time with Sister Ning'er." Holding Li Chengqian's hand, Yu Zhang's eyes fell on Hou Ning'er in the coffin, although Hou Ning'er was poisoned to death, but her face was still ruddy, not as pale and bruised as ordinary corpses.

Therefore, looking at her, Yu Zhang did not feel afraid.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he glanced at Yu Zhang again, and then turned his gaze back to Hou Ning'er's face, and didn't say anything more, the two brothers and sisters, just like this, stood quietly next to a coffin with a corpse lying down.

"Now, the most important thing is the disaster situation in front of you," Cen Wenwen picked up the teacup, glanced at Li in front of him, and said: "Therefore, His Highness's eyes should not only be on Naliu Yiyi and Hou Junji now, but think more about how to share the emperor's worries, which is the right thing." ”

"But, sir," Li Ke looked up at Cen Wenwen and said, "If Hou Junji leaves this time, it will definitely become a big trouble in the future, isn't Mr. worried?" ”

The crown princess is dead, Hou Junji has nothing to love in the Tang Dynasty, if Hou Junji did not go to Liu Yiyi to take revenge, but stayed away from the Tang Dynasty, avoided the Western Regions, and relied on his military training skills to let him wander in the countries of the Western Regions, it is really not the blessing of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke really couldn't understand why such a person, the always wise father, would let him go?

"His Royal Highness is right, but what will happen to the Hou Jun assembly, Wechen doesn't know, but Wechen knows that if the court can't control the flood in time and help the victims, this catastrophe, my Tang Dynasty will definitely be a big injury, Turkic, Tubo, Gaomao, these foreign countries will also wait for the opportunity to move, that is the real disaster." Cen Wenwen took a sip of tea and said, "So now, in the eyes of the emperor, everything is not as important as this flood in front of him, so His Highness's thoughts should also be placed on this." ”

"In addition, the crown princess is funeral, the prince must not be able to spare time to manage the epidemic prevention and control method a few days ago, tonight, His Royal Highness may wish to go to the palace to ask for an order, in the name of sharing the worries between the emperor and His Royal Highness the prince, ask for this errand." Gently placing the tea bowl on the table, Cen Wenwen continued: "That recipe was opened by Liu Yiyi, and it is extremely credible, if it is really effective, then the kindness and popular hearts accumulated by His Highness on this trip must be immeasurable." ”

"Well, that's true!" Li Ke's eyes lit up, his fists couldn't help but tighten, glanced at Cen Wenwen, and asked him softly: "Then according to Mr. Wang's opinion, will my father hand over this errand to this king?" ”

"Two by two," Cen Wenwen said softly: "That prescription was originally used by the emperor to accumulate the hearts of the people for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and commend merits, if it is not a last resort, the emperor will not hand over this errand to others, so whether it can succeed depends on whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can recover as soon as possible." In short, if His Royal Highness goes, there is always a chance to do so, even if it doesn't work out in the end, it will leave an impression that the emperor is willing to share his worries, and there is no harm to His Highness. ”

"Thank you, sir, for the teaching, the students know what to do." Li Ke sat up straight and bowed to Cen Wen.

"This is what Weichen should do, His Highness doesn't need to be polite." Cen Wenwen nodded lightly, Li Ke is not a stupid person, he can be regarded as a good student.

Standing up lightly, Cen Wenwen bent down and saluted Li Ke, and said, "It's not early, Weichen still has official business, so it's inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so Weichen has left." ”

"Student send Mr. out!" Li Ke also stood up, opened the oil-paper umbrella, covered Cen Wenwen all the way, and sent him to the front of the mansion
