Empress Eldest Sun is critically ill! When Li Xiu received the news, the whole person also felt a "buzz" in his head, and then rushed to the inner house to tell Princess Pingyang about it, although Princess Pingyang and Li Shimin have not reconciled, but the relationship between her and Queen Changsun is still very deep, this is mainly because Queen Changsun has always wanted to resolve the contradiction between Princess Pingyang and Li Shimin's sister and brother, although it was not successful, but she established a deep relationship with Princess Pingyang.

Princess Pingyang was originally teaching her youngest son Li Luo to read, although the little guy is still young, but Princess Pingyang's family education is very strict, so she began to read to him since she was a child, for example, now the mother and son are reading Li Xiu's "Three Character Classic" copied from later generations, of course, he often deletes, such as some things that have not happened in history, they were hidden by him.

But even if there is a part missing, the three-character scripture is still very suitable as a child's enlightenment teaching materials, now not only the new school is used, other private schools, even the palace and nobles also teach the three-character scripture to the enlightened children, of course, with the spread of the three-character scripture, and let Li Xiu earn a lot of fame, but to the point where he is now, he no longer cares about these literary names.

"Lady, something happened to the queen!" Li Xiu strode over, and then told the story of Empress Changsun's critical illness, in fact, he had just received the news, and the news only said that Empress Changsun was critically ill, as for how she was critically ill? What about now? Li Xiu also knew nothing.

"What!" Princess Pingyang was also shocked when she heard this bad news, and then handed Li Luo to the nurse, eagerly grabbed Li Xiu's hand and said, "Isn't the queen's illness already recovering, and I saw her a few days ago, and she also said that she felt much better, how could she be critically ill?" ”

"I don't know about this, the news has just come from the palace, I plan to go to the palace now, do you want to go with me?" Li Xiu also said a little anxiously at this time, although the eldest grandson queen is not Li Shimin, but she is a **, if she dies, it will also have a great impact on the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that the eldest grandson queen is not an ordinary queen, among the queens of all dynasties, her influence on the court can definitely be ranked in the top ten, so her death will only have a greater impact on the court.

"Okay, I'll go into the palace with you!" Princess Pingyang made a decision almost immediately, and asked the nurse to take Li Luo away, and she didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she followed Li Xiu into the carriage, and then hurried to the palace.

Originally, Li Xiu thought that Li Shimin would temporarily block the news, after all, Empress Changsun was not sick once or twice, and she had been on the verge of life and death several times before, so there was no need to know it to the world immediately, maybe after diagnosis and treatment, Empress Changsun could be pulled back from the line of life and death.

But what Li Xiu didn't expect was that when his carriage just came to the imperial city, he saw that there were a lot of carriages blocked at the gate of the imperial city, and it seemed that the ministers who received the news rushed to come, but because there were too many cars, the city gate was blocked for a while, which made Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang on the carriage also very anxious, and finally Li Xiu simply asked people to go around to the west side of the imperial city and enter the imperial city through another city gate.

There is also a city wall between the imperial city and the Taiji Palace, and the Changle Gate and the Guangyun Gate can enter and exit in the middle, but the ordinary officials can't enter the palace gate at all, so they are all waiting outside the palace gate now, while Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang are taking a carriage to enter the Taiji Palace directly through the Guangyun Gate, and then go straight to the Liangyi Palace.

The Liangyi Hall is the place where Li Shimin deals with government affairs, but behind the Liangyi Palace, there are two palace gates, which are Zhu Ming Gate and Liangyi Gate, and there is a horizontal street in the middle of the two palace gates, which is also the dividing line between Li Shimin's handling of government affairs and accommodation.

The carriage came to Zhu Mingmen, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang also got off the carriage, because further forward is the emperor's bedroom, it is absolutely forbidden for any carriage to enter, so the two can only walk on foot, the dormitory is also divided into two parts, which is bounded by Yongxiang, the south is the emperor's bed, that is, the place where Li Shimin rests, of which the Ganlu Hall is here, and the south of Yongxiang is the Houbed, that is, the place where the queen and concubine live, and the Lizheng Hall where the eldest grandson and queen live is also in this area.

Li Xiu is a man, no matter how much he is trusted by Li Shimin, he can only reach the part of the emperor's bed, and he can't pass Yongxiang at all, because the back bed north of Yongxiang is strictly forbidden for any man to enter, this is still the rule set by the eldest grandson queen herself, and even the eldest grandson Wuji wants to visit his sister, he has to wait for the eldest grandson queen to come out of the queen bed before he can see him, and the prince has to move out of the palace after he is ten years old, and he can only enter the palace to visit his mother on specific days.

When Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang came to Yongxiang, they found that the eldest grandson Wuji was already waiting here, and his face was full of anxiety. ”

"I don't know, no man is allowed to enter the back bed, so my wife went to visit in first just now, and there is no news yet, and I am also anxious to wait!" Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and sighed at this time and replied, his eyes were red when he spoke, although he was very scheming, but he still loved his sister who grew up with him since he was a child, and it was not much worse than Li Xiu's love for Qi Niang.

"Husband, since you can't get in, then I'll go first and take a look, and I'll send you news as soon as possible!" Princess Pingyang also stepped forward at this time, nodded slightly at Changsun Wuji after speaking, and then walked through Yongxiang into the area of the back bed.

"Thank you, princess!" Seeing Princess Pingyang leave, the eldest grandson Wuji reacted, and hurriedly thanked Princess Pingyang's back, he and Li Shimin grew up together since childhood, and Princess Pingyang is naturally an old acquaintance.

"Brother Wuji, I remember that the queen's condition has been improving since last year, how could it become so serious for no reason?" Li Xiu asked again at this time, after all, the eldest grandson Wuji came earlier than him, and he was also well-informed, so he might know more.

Sure enough, when the eldest grandson Wuji heard this question, his face showed a little annoyance and said: "I don't know much about other things, but according to the news I heard, the queen seems to have suddenly fallen ill in the East Palace!" ”

"Donggong? Could it be ...... Does this matter have anything to do with Cheng Qian? Li Xiu's face couldn't help but sink when he heard this, and he whispered to himself at the moment.

Just when Li Xiu was guessing the cause of the illness of Empress Changsun, he suddenly saw a chamberlain rushing over and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, announce that the two princes of the country hurry to the Lizheng Palace!" ”
