When Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang left, the spirit of Empress Changsun was already very sluggish, and it seemed that she might faint again at any time, but she still insisted on seeing Li Shimin again, apparently wanting to take advantage of the last time to get along with her husband for a while, which made Li Xiu and his wife also sigh, and invited Li Shimin to go in after coming out.

However, not long after Li Shimin entered, he suddenly saw an inner servant rushing over, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree to order the imperial doctor to enter the ginseng soup again!" ”

Hearing this message, Sun Simiao and the imperial doctor and others also looked at each other, but Li Xiu sighed at this time, the spirit of Empress Changsun just now was not good, it is estimated that she may have fainted again at this time, Li Shimin must be unwilling, so he wants to let Empress Changsun sober up for a while.

"Don Ma, this ......" After Sun Simiao reacted, he also looked at Li Xiudao with an embarrassed face at the moment, and the prescription used for hanging his life can only be used once, so he was worried that the ginseng soup would have no effect.

"Let's try again, but I need to tell Your Majesty that it depends on the will of God whether it will work or not." Li Xiu waved his hand helplessly at this time, he also had limited knowledge of the effects of ginseng, and he really didn't know if it could work again.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Sun Simiao and others had to make another ginseng soup, fortunately, the ginseng brought by Li Xiu was big enough, and there was still a lot left before, so they fried a bowl of ginseng soup and sent it in.

However, the effect this time was obviously not as good as last time, and less than half an hour after Empress Changsun was awake, Li Shimin's extremely suppressed cry came from the inner hall, and then the inner attendant shouted: "The queen is dead!" ”

Death does not refer specifically to the emperor, the death of the empress dowager or the empress dowager can also be called a death, but after Cao Wei, the death of the queen is generally only called Xue, of course, there may be some changes in each dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty Xinli, Li Yuan's wife Dou died early, so the eldest grandson Empress is the first queen to die in the Tang Dynasty, and there are no special regulations on the title of the queen's death, but the inner servant dares to shout the word "death", which must be due to Li Shimin's grant.

Although the people in the outer hall had been prepared, when they heard the word "death", everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then the cry shook the sky, but at this time everyone also understood that Li Shimin called the death of Empress Changsun a death, which also represented his respect for Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun and Li Shimin are a young couple, she married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen, the husband and wife spent twenty-three years together through ups and downs, and also gave birth to three sons and four daughters for Li Shimin, but unfortunately it was precisely because of too many births that her hidden disease broke out, and she died at the age of only thirty-six, and Li Shimin was in the prime of life at this time, thinking that the woman who was with him through thick and thin in the first half of his life has gone, it is estimated that anyone will not be able to stand this blow.

The news of the death of Empress Changsun also spread quickly, and after a while, the entire imperial city was already in a place, and at the same time, Chang'an City also began to ban all entertainment activities, and the curfew was restored, of course, this is only temporary, and it will be released in a few days.

However, the death of Empress Changsun hit Li Shimin too much, he fell ill that night, the whole person was a high fever that did not go away, Sun Simiao and others could only treat Li Shimin again, speaking of which, they were hard enough to be doctors, and they had not rested for a day and a night for Empress Changsun's illness before, but now they have to stay up all night, fortunately, there are more imperial doctors in the palace, and they can be rotated.

Before Li Shimin's illness, he had designated the eldest grandson Wuji to be in charge of the funeral of the eldest grandson queen, Li Xiu assisted, and the two of them were also busy for a while, especially Li Xiu, mainly because the eldest grandson Wuji was also overgrieved at the beginning, and almost fell ill, and there was no way to take charge of things, so everything had to be decided by Li Xiu, which really tired him at that time, but fortunately, the eldest grandson Wuji finally cheered up, which reduced the pressure on him.

It is worth mentioning that on the day of the death of the eldest grandson, Princess Pingyang brought her son and Xin'er home to live temporarily, because the palace was busy with the funeral of the eldest grandson, Li Shimin also fell ill, and no one took care of them at all, among which Xin'er was fine, after all, she was too young, but the son-in-law had vaguely felt something, and had been crying since the death of the eldest grandson, Princess Pingyang was not at ease to let the nurse take care of it, so she took care of their sisters personally.

Originally, Princess Pingyang also wanted to take Li Zhi away, after all, he was too young to stay in the palace to help much, but Li Zhi was very filial, and even followed Li Chengqian and Li Tai to guard the spirit of the eldest grandson queen, no matter how much she persuaded her, she was unwilling to leave, and in the end, Princess Pingyang could only tell Li Xiu to pay attention to Li Zhi, after all, he was too young.

However, Li Xiu was too busy, especially a few days before the death of Empress Changsun, he was almost busy from morning to night every day, and only occasionally when he passed by the Stopping Spirit Palace, he only visited Li Zhi by the way, but what surprised Li Xiu was that Li Zhi was very strong, even if his eyes were red and swollen from crying, he still insisted on keeping a wake for Empress Changsun every day.

Compared with Li Zhi, Li Chengqian is the one who is most worried, because since the death of Empress Changsun, his whole person seems to be completely closed, and he kneels in front of Empress Changsun's spirit every day without moving, and even a few days ago he did not take a drop of water, and then he fainted in front of the spirit and was rescued by the imperial doctor, and then he began to eat, but he ate very little every day, and he had already lost weight into skin and bones in just a few days.

Li Xiu did not forget the instructions of Empress Changsun before her death, and he also deliberately found time to enlighten Li Chengqian, after all, Empress Changsun fell ill in the East Palace, which made Li Chengqian's heart must be full of self-blame, which was also one of the things that Empress Changsun was most worried about before she died.

However, for Li Xiu's enlightenment, Li Chengqian was still like a wooden man at that time, no matter how much Li Xiu said, he did not have any response, and finally Li Xiu had to give up this useless work, in fact, he has already seen that Li Chengqian is now closed off, and he can't listen to anyone's words at all, and the only person who can help him is probably only himself, of course, Li Xiu did not give up, but planned to wait for Li Chengqian to calm down for a few more days and then give it a try.

That night, Li Xiu dragged his tired body back to the financial prison, because he was too busy during this time, and he didn't have time to go home, so he lived in the financial supervision in the imperial city at night, which was also very close to the Stopping Spirit Palace, and it was convenient to inform him of anything.

But just as Li Xiu was just lying down, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, and then an attendant shouted outside: "It's a big deal, the prince...... The crown prince and the king of Wei are fighting! ”
