"Woooooooooo......oo Ahem, cough, cough, ......cough, "The little girl's intermittent cries and coughs came from the window, and another voice continued to comfort her.

The eunuch on duty heard the movement and stepped forward to inquire. Li Shimin stood at the window and said coldly, then immediately turned around, put on a coat casually, pushed the door and walked outside. Seeing Li Mingda being held by Li Zhi, his little hands kept wiping his tears, he felt distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to take Li Mingda from Li Zhi's hands, hugged him in his arms and continued to comfort him.

"What's wrong? My little son has been wronged? Who bullied you? As he spoke, Li Shimin had a trace of murder in his eyes, and glanced coldly at the eunuchs and palace maids beside him, causing these eunuchs and palace maids to kneel on the ground and tremble.

"Father... No one bullied Mingda, it was Mingda who was not well-behaved, Mingda missed his father... cough, cough, cough, cough ......" Li Mingda said and began to cough again, his little face was flushed, and he lay on Li Shimin's shoulder and coughed enough before he said softly: "Mingda hasn't seen his father for a long time." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, his heart softened in an instant, and he hugged Li Mingda with love and pity. "My little princess has been wronged, my father has been busy with political affairs these days, and he has no time to take care of you, so it's my father's fault."

Li Mingda nodded, lay on Li Shimin's ear, hugged Li Shimin's neck with his little hand, and whispered: "Mingda knows that Mingda shouldn't be so willful and disturb his father's rest......."

Li Shimin sighed, and his apology to Li Mingda deepened a little. This little daughter is really too sensible, and her tone of voice is exactly the same as that of the original Empress Changsun, sometimes making people wonder if this is the continuation of the life of Empress Changsun, so Li Shimin Li Mingda is extremely fond of her, almost doting, holding her is extremely distressed, constantly comforting and teasing him, going around the courtyard, trying to make Li Mingda happy.

Soon, Li Mingda's silver bell-like laughter came from the garden at night, but when the wind blew, Li Mingda always coughed and was a little breathless.

Li Shimin didn't dare to let Li Mingda be outside for a long time, so he took her around and carried her back to the dormitory, and Li Zhi followed in.

Although Li Mingda is mentally mature, she is still a child in the end, and it is easy to be satisfied with a coax, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep in Li Shimin's arms, and she was cute and coquettish.

Li Shimin carefully put Li Mingda on the bed and covered the quilt, then pulled Li Zhi to the other side of the dormitory and asked, "Childish, my little son's cough has worsened recently, and he has wheezing, but he has an attack of breath?" Have you ever seen a doctor? ”

"Father, there are many qi diseases in autumn, and in recent days, the imperial doctor has been with the little son every day to take care of him, and he has decocted medicine every day to coax the little son to drink. It's just ........"

"Just what?" Li Shimin said eagerly: "Has the little son's illness worsened?" I saw that although I had a cough today, it wasn't bad. ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Father, the specific cause of the child is not clear, but the son heard from the imperial doctor that although the little son did not have an attack of qi disease, it is not a way to go on like this for a long time, the disease is not eradicated, if it suddenly occurs one day, it will be irreversible!" ”

"Teng!" Li Shimin suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth in front of Li Zhi a few times, and then stared at Li Zhi and asked, "Did the imperial doctor really say that?" ”

Li Zhi nodded, and shook his head again: "Father, the son doesn't understand medicine, but I've heard the imperial doctor talk about it, doesn't that mean it... Erchen didn't dare to guarantee it. Please also ask my father to check with the imperial doctor! ”

Li Shimin really treasured this daughter, and immediately wanted to declare the imperial doctor into the palace, but was persuaded by Li Zhi.

"Father, I finally put the little son to sleep, let's ask the imperial doctor to take a look tomorrow."

Li Shimin glanced at the sleeping little son under the bed, and finally nodded, gave up the idea of calling the imperial doctor, and turned his head to look at Li Zhi, his face softened a little.

Li Zhi's personality is not like him, but like Li Mingda, he inherited the tolerance and virtue of the eldest grandson queen, who is humble and not arrogant or impatient. The only fly in the ointment is that Li Zhi is still young, his temperament has not been tempered, and compared with his two elder brothers, he is less ruthless and a little more feminine.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Shimin did not consider him as a candidate for the throne before.

But now, the prince and Wei Wang are fighting to the death, which makes Li Shimin have a headache, compared to the ruthless personalities of those two, Li Zhi's indisputable temperament is undoubtedly more popular with Li Shimin.

Thinking about it carefully, during this period of time, the crown prince Wei Wang was fighting, and Li Zhi was fighting on both sides as a younger brother, and he also pleaded for his brother here, which couldn't help but make Li Shimin appreciate it more and more.

"Slave, the situation between the DPRK and China has been changing recently, what do you think?"

Here it comes! Li Zhi's heart tightened, and he never thought that his father would ask him such a sensitive thing. He wasn't ready yet, and he was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Suddenly blushed, bowed his head and muttered: "Father, son... Erchen hadn't thought about these things yet. ”

"Didn't think about it? Hehe, young slave, my father knows that you don't like power struggles, but in the court, and you are a prince, some things cannot be avoided, and my father just wants to know what you think about who I will choose to inherit the throne in the future. ”

it! So straightforward! Li Zhi learned from Chen Fei's appearance, and burst into a foul language in his heart. never expected that Li Shimin would ask such a sensitive question in front of him.

What to do? He wasn't ready to answer!

"It's... This... Childish slave .... This...."Li Zhi's face was flushed, and he didn't know what to say.

"Hehe......" looked up, but saw Li Shimin looking at him with a smile, "Childish slave, is my father so terrible?" Father is just asking you a truth. Just answer truthfully, don't think too much.

"Yes!" Li Zhi breathed a small sigh of relief in his heart, but immediately after, his heart beat wildly again.

He remembered some of the words that Chen Fei had said to him, the throne ...... He also has a chance to touch!

Although he is not very interested in fighting for power, when the throne is really in front of him and he has a chance to touch it, he still feels like a mess in his heart!

Calm down! Be sure to calm down! My father just asked me about the throne, and he didn't say that he wanted to pass the throne to me!

Li Zhi reminded himself over and over again in his heart, and only after calming down did he slowly answer.

And his previous nervous appearance was misunderstood by Li Shimin as his own child was afraid of the battle for power and unwilling to mix, and he couldn't help but appreciate it more and more.

"Father, the slave thinks that the succession to the throne is very important, and he should discuss it with the ministers of the court, the son is the prince, and it is really inconvenient for the father and the son to talk about this, and the son cannot answer."

Li Shimin was not disappointed when he heard this, if Li Zhi really commented on this matter, it would feel wrong, in his impression, Li Zhi has always been a person who has no quarrel with the world, just doing himself in obscurity, and rarely cares about things that have nothing to do with him.

"Yes." Li Shimin nodded absentmindedly and said, "It's not too early, you should go back and rest early." ”

Li Zhi hesitated, but he quickly stood up and saluted Li Shimin: "Father and emperor rest early, and the son will retire." ”

After Li Zhi left, Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi's back and muttered: "After all, it's still a little weaker, if it's a little stronger......
