"Coachman, hurry up!" Li Xiu in the carriage commanded with a calm face, and the coachman in front of him agreed, and immediately whipped up the horse again, driving the carriage fast, but Princess Pingyang in the carriage still looked anxious, and her two hands also grabbed Li Xiu's arm tightly, not at all calm.

"Mother, don't worry too much, grandfather Jiren Tianxiang, there must be no problem!" At this moment, I saw Li Jin, who was sitting in the carriage, whispered to Princess Pingyang to comfort her, seeing that the little guy was so sensible, Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu also showed relieved expressions, but when they thought of the news they had just received, Princess Pingyang couldn't help frowning.

It's already the beginning of the lanterns outside, and today is the first festival of the year, it is the most lively time of the year, just now Li Xiu's family is also ready to light the lanterns, but at this time, news suddenly came out of the palace, summoning Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang to enter the palace quickly, the specific reason was not said, only that it was related to Li Yuan, because Li Shimin summoned them and had to rush to Da'an Palace as quickly as possible.

Thinking of Li Yuan's physical condition before, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but tremble with fear, and even wanted to cry, although Li Yuan's father did a lot of things that were not qualified, but after all, it was her father, especially after the early death of her mother Queen Dou, several of their brothers and sisters depended on Li Yuan, the situation of the Li family was not good, Yang Guang was also suspicious of the Li family everywhere, it can be said that the Li family was in danger of dying at any time, and it was Li Yuan who took this pressure, Let their brothers and sisters grow up smoothly.

Li Xiu also felt the fear in his wife's heart at this time, but he also knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he could only reach out and hold her tightly in his arms, and express his support with actions, and Li Jin, who had always been stubborn, was also sitting there very obediently at this time, and at the same time, his little hands were also holding his mother's hand tightly, feeling the comfort of her husband and son, Princess Pingyang finally felt better.

At this time, the Mingde Gate of Chang'an City appeared in front of the carriage, although the curfew of Chang'an City was solved, but the city gate was usually closed, but today is the Shangyuan Festival, and the city gate is not closed, according to the customs of the Shangyuan Festival, there will be many married women lining up in front of the city gate to touch the copper nails on it that night, it is said that they can ask for children.

However, the strange thing is that the front of the Mingde Gate is very deserted today, and there are even more guards than usual, and when Li Xiu and his carriage entered Suzaku Street along the Mingde Gate, they saw an even more amazing scene.

Suzaku Street is the main street of Chang'an City, every year during the Shangyuan Festival, here is the most lively place, not only the lanterns are everywhere on the street, but also many people walk on the song, it is said that there is a grand scene of 10,000 people singing at the most.

However, today's Suzaku Street is not only lively, but also very chaotic, only to see a team of Jin Wuwei along the street to drive pedestrians, the street spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the large lanterns, also demolished one by one, and not only Suzaku Street, the street on both sides of the city is also a chaos, it seems that everywhere Jin Wuwei is forbidden people in the city to celebrate the festival.

Seeing the situation on the street, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but stiffen all over, and then fell into Li Xiu's arms and cried bitterly, which could make the imperial court dispatch Jin Wuwei to prohibit the celebration of the Shangyuan Festival, and there was only one explanation, that is, one of Li Yuan or Li Shimin died, according to etiquette, the entire Beijing division was under martial law, no bells and drums were sounded, and any celebrations such as banquets and music were prohibited, and it was inferred from the previous situation that the person who died could not be Li Shimin.

Li Xiu looked at Jin Wuwei, who was driving pedestrians on the street, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, in fact, when he first received the news, he vaguely guessed the truth of the matter, but he didn't expect Li Yuan and Pei Lin to be so lacking in morality, but he chose the day at the time of the Shangyuan Festival celebrated by the whole world, and as a result, the whole world couldn't celebrate the festival.

However, Li Xiu can barely understand Li Yuan's thoughts, after all, he feels that he is the Son of Heaven, even if he fakes his death, he will make the whole world uneasy, so it is not surprising that he chose the day on the Shangyuan Festival, in Li Yuan's opinion, the entire Tang Dynasty is him anyway, so he also wants to toss it again in the end, so that the people of the whole world can remember him as the emperor again.

Li Xiu's carriage crossed the Suzaku Street into the palace gate, and then passed through the heavy palaces of the Taiji Palace, and then came out from the Xuanwu Gate, and then came to the palace gate of the Da'an Palace, but they were still late, only to see that the white silk had begun to be set up in the Da'an Palace, and the guards in the palace were all dressed in plain silk, and the sound of crying in the entire Da'an Palace was connected.

Seeing this situation, Princess Pingyang's body was weak, and she almost fainted, but fortunately Li Xiu was holding her, and finally after a while, Princess Pingyang mustered up the courage to get out of the car, and when they entered Da'an Palace, they found that many royal relatives had come here, and they were all full of grief, and they knew what happened without asking.

"Father!" Princess Pingyang finally let out a sad cry when she saw this, and hurried to Li Yuan's bedroom, even if Li Yuan was really gone, she wanted to see her father again, and Li Xiu hurriedly pulled Li Jin to follow.

When the three of them came to Li Yuan's bedroom, they saw that several eldest princesses in Chang'an, as well as the sons of Li Yuan's officials who had not gone out because of their young age, were also here, and when they saw Princess Pingyang, they saw one of the women immediately stepped forward and said sadly: "Third sister, father...... Father, Emperor, ...... Woo~"

This woman is Princess Changguang, who has always had a good relationship with Princess Pingyang, and they both live in Chang'an City, which is much closer to Li Xiu and them, so they also rushed to the first time when they received the news, but they also failed to see Li Yuan for the last time, and now they can only wait outside.

"Fifth sister, don't cry, father...... When did Father leave? Princess Pingyang also hugged Princess Changguang at this time, but she shed tears first with a mouth.

"We don't know, when we arrived here, our father was already gone, and the third brother was guarding my father inside, forbidding anyone to enter, and we haven't seen our father until now." Princess Changguang also said with tears in her eyes at this time.

"Hmph, my father is not just his father, you come in with me!" When Princess Pingyang heard that Li Shimin actually forbade her brothers and sisters to enter, she couldn't help but be angry at the moment, maybe she wouldn't have a head-on conflict with Li Shimin like this in normal times, but now that her father Li Yuan has passed away, she has no scruples under the grief.

After Princess Pingyang finished speaking, she came to the door of the dormitory, and Princess Changguang did not hesitate to follow, and the other eldest princesses hesitated, and finally followed, but Li Yuan's underage sons all showed worried expressions, and in the end, no one moved.

"Princess, stay behind!" Princess Pingyang just came to the front of the palace gate, only to see a guard leader stopped her and saluted, this guard leader is Li Shimin's personal guard, but also his absolute confidant, usually wherever Li Shimin goes, he will take him, it can be said that he represents Li Shimin to some extent.

"Get out of the way, don't force me to kill!" Princess Pingyang shouted with a cold face at this time, she had just experienced the pain of losing her father, and at this time her whole body exuded a cold murderous aura, and she seemed to have become the female commander who commanded thousands of troops on the battlefield again.

In the face of Princess Pingyang's coercion, the head of the guard couldn't help but tremble, and he had no doubt that if he didn't dodge, he might really be slashed by Princess Pingyang, after all, this princess was not an ordinary woman. It's just that he has the emperor's order, and if he really retreats at this time, I am afraid that he will be severely punished by Li Shimin in the future, and he is likely to lose Li Shimin's trust because of this, which makes him hesitate for a while.

"Stand out, wait until Your Majesty blames, I will help you bear it!" At this moment, Li Xiu, who had been following Princess Pingyang, also said to the head of the guard, he also knew that the other party was very embarrassed, but he didn't want Princess Pingyang to kill anyone.

Hearing Li Xiu speak, the head of the guard breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly retreated to the side, Princess Pingyang immediately led Princess Changguang and others into the palace, turned a screen in front of him, and immediately saw Li Shimin sitting in front of Li Yuan's bed, and behind him, Empress Changsun was also standing there silently.

"Who?" Li Shimin heard the footsteps behind him, and turned his head very annoyed, but when he saw that the leader was Princess Pingyang, the anger on his face immediately disappeared, and then he sighed and said, "Third sister, you're here!" ”

Li Xiu only saw it at this time, only to see Li Shimin's face full of tears at this time, it seems that he should have cried because of Li Yuan's death just now, but he is an emperor, so he naturally doesn't want people to see his weak side, so even Princess Changguang and others are blocked out, of course, Empress Changsun is an exception, no matter how many concubines Li Shimin has, Empress Changsun has an irreplaceable position in his heart.

Princess Pingyang walked a few steps to Li Yuan's bed at this time, but when she saw Li Yuan, who was peaceful and calm on the bed and looked like he was asleep, she couldn't control herself all of a sudden, and suddenly fell down in front of the bed and cried bitterly, and Princess Changguang and others behind her also knelt on the ground, and everyone cried bitterly for a while.

Li Jin originally followed Li Xiu, and at this time he also wiped his tears and came to Princess Pingyang's side, and then knelt on the ground and cried with his mother, but Li Xiu looked at Li Yuan on the bed with a complicated expression, although he knew that Li Yuan was fake death, but he still couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor...... When did he leave? At this time, Li Xiu saw Li Shimin standing there silently, and immediately stepped forward and asked, in fact, his real purpose was to test Li Shimin and see if Li Yuan's fake death had deceived everyone?
