Li Su and Li Zhi had just met Empress Changsun at Li Shimin's place before, but now the other party actually sent someone to invite them to go, which made both of them a little strange. The two couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw a little puzzlement from each other's eyes.

However, since Empress Changsun specially sent someone to invite them, they naturally didn't dare not go, so Li Su asked the palace maid to lead the way in front, and he and Li Zhi turned around the Ganlu Hall and walked towards the Lizheng Hall behind. It's just that when Li Su was guessing the reason why Empress Changsun called them over, he thought of the disappearance of Sun Simiao and other imperial doctors in the Ganlu Palace, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

The Lizheng Hall and the Ganlu Hall are both on the central axis of the Taiji Palace, and they are two palaces next to each other, so Li Su and Li Zhi soon arrived at the Lizheng Palace, but when they entered the front hall of the Lizheng Palace, they immediately felt that there was a solemn atmosphere in the hall, and the eldest grandson Empress sat on the hall with a pale face, while Sun Simiao and other imperial doctors stood below, all with shame on their faces.

In addition, Li Su also found that next to Sun Simiao and the other imperial doctors, his imperial concubine Cui Mengxue, and some famous doctors who came from Daqi were also standing there, but their expressions were different from Sun Simiao and others, frowning and thinking hard, as if they were worried about something.

"Sons see the queen mother!" Li Su and Li Zhi stepped forward to salute, among which Li Su and Mengxue glanced at each other, from each other's eyes, he saw a little helplessness and bitterness, which made Li Su feel shocked, and hurriedly asked again: "Queen Mother, you summoned the imperial doctors to come, is there something wrong with my father's condition?" ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Empress Eldest Sun waved her hand weakly and said, "It's better for Imperial Doctor Sun to explain it to you!" ”

Li Su and Li Zhi looked at Sun Simiao together, only to see each other sigh. He bowed down and reported to them: "Your Highnesses, it is not a good sign that Your Majesty has woken up. After we treated His Majesty, we found that His Majesty's injuries and illnesses had not improved. On the contrary, the five qi has begun to fail, which is beyond human retrieval power, if nothing else, I am afraid that Your Majesty's time is running out......"

"Nonsense! When my father spoke to me today, he was still in good spirits, where were the signs of the failure of the five qis? Before Sun Simiao finished speaking, Li Zhi next to him yelled loudly, but at this time, his eyes were red, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Li Su heard Sun Simiao's words. I also felt a tightness in my chest, and I seemed to be out of breath for a while, and my face became extremely pale in an instant. Although he had been mentally prepared when he came, but after seeing Li Shimin wake up today, he couldn't help but feel a little hope in his heart, but now Sun Simiao's words directly shattered the hope of a new life in his heart, which made Li Su a little unacceptable for a while.

Seeing Li Zhi angry, Sun Simiao also closed his mouth very interestingly. He knew that the crown prince had a strong relationship with His Majesty, so it was not surprising that he had such a reaction when he heard this unfortunate news. What's more, as an experienced doctor, he has long been surprised by this situation.

Although the heart is sad. But Li Su and Li Zhi are not ordinary people after all, especially Li Su, who has been working alone for many years. His nerves had been honed to be very tenacious, so he was the first to calm down. I saw Li Su take a step forward. Shen Sheng asked Sun Simiao: "Imperial Doctor Sun, you said that your father's five qi failed. Is there no way to cure it? ”

Hearing Li Su ask this obviously very layman question, Sun Simiao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Highness doesn't know, the failure of the five qi is not a disease, but a sign of the body, the five qi symbolizes the five organs of the human body, the five qi in the body of a healthy person is endless, and each other is maintained in a state of balance, when the balance between the five qi is broken, the person will get sick, if the five qi begins to fail, then it also symbolizes that this person has died soon!" ”

Sun Simiao explained Li Shimin's situation in terms of the five qi of traditional Chinese medicine, although it sounded a little obscure, but Li Su and others also understood that the so-called five qi failure is actually a symptom of a person's death, and it is not something that can be reversed by human beings at all.

At this time, Li Zhi also slowly calmed down, and after listening to Sun Simiao's explanation, he couldn't help but feel his nose sour again, but thinking that he was the crown prince, and the entire Tang Dynasty was looking at him, which made Li Zhi couldn't help but resist the urge to cry, and asked with slightly red eyes: "Imperial Doctor Sun, I was too impulsive just now, if it is according to what you said, how long can my father support it?" ”

Seeing Li Zhi's appearance, the faces of Empress Changsun and Li Su showed a little relief, although Li Zhi is not very mature, and sometimes he seems to be too emotional, but he is also changing little by little, at least now he is very much like an emperor.

After hearing this, Sun Simiao did not rush to answer, but exchanged a few glances with several other imperial doctors, and finally he spoke: "Prince Qiqi, according to Your Majesty's current situation, it is estimated that it can last for a month at most, even if we try our best to delay, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support it for three months!" ”

"One to three months?" Li Zhi's face showed grief again, and the eldest grandson queen who was sitting upright also sighed, and tears flowed out at once, she and Li Shimin are young couples, and they have experienced countless ups and downs together, it can be said that the feeling is extremely strong, and now seeing that her husband is going to leave him one step earlier, this makes the eldest grandson queen, who has always been strong, also become weak.

Li Su walked up to Cui Mengxue, and then asked her if she had any way, but Cui Mengxue shook her head and replied in a low voice: "With Imperial Physician Sun's medical skills, there will definitely be no wrong diagnosis, if the father really has symptoms of five qi failure, our Daqi doctor may not have any good way, but can only use some medicine to prolong the life of the father as much as possible." ”

The so-called life and death are fate, Li Shimin fell from his horse at the age of nearly sixty, and he was already seriously injured, plus the serious injury caused a serious illness, even if it is a strong young man, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive, let alone an old man like him, who is close to the sixtieth year, and even if there is no rescue from Sun Simiao, a big man, I am afraid that Li Shimin will be dead on the day of his injury.

When he learned that Li Shimin only had one to three months left to live, the entire Lizheng Hall suddenly fell into a very uncomfortable silence, and after a long while, Li Su suddenly spoke: "Imperial Doctor Sun and all the imperial doctors present should know the seriousness of this matter, so in the time it is pulled down, I am afraid that all the imperial doctors will have to stay in the palace for a while." ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Sun Simiao and the other imperial doctors immediately bowed down and said, "Weichen understands that His Majesty's serious illness will never be spread out!" ”

Li Su nodded after hearing this, and then asked people to arrange for these imperial doctors to stay in the palace temporarily, and at the same time, there were a large number of guards around to guard and monitor in case the news leaked. Cui Mengxue, as Li Su's imperial concubine, naturally does not have to be monitored, but Li Su asked Mengxue to live with Concubine Yang temporarily, on the one hand, to convey the news to Concubine Yang, and on the other hand, to let her accompany Concubine Yang, so as not to make Concubine Yang too sad.

After spending everyone away, only Empress Changsun and Li Su and Li Zhi were left in the Lizheng Palace, and it was Empress Changsun who had the most say about Li Shimin's life not being long, but her own body was about to collapse, and now she was still immersed in grief and couldn't extricate herself, although Li Zhi endured her grief, but he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so now only Li Su can take charge.

I saw Li Su walking back and forth in the hall a few times, and finally said with a certain footsteps: "Queen Mother, Ninth Brother, now is not the time to be sad, Sun Simiao's group of imperial doctors are very strict, and they will not leak the news for the time being, but now there is a question, that is, who should know about this matter?" The three of us alone will not be able to cope with the situation in the future! ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Empress Changsun was the first to wake up, only to see her think about it for a while, and immediately spoke: "Liulang is right, this matter must be known to several ministers, Wuji and Sui Liang naturally don't need to say it, in addition, the king of Hejian, the king of Jiangxia and Li Ji These generals must also be notified, and there are also ......"

Empress Changsun is also very familiar with the government and politics, and has named more than a dozen important ministers, these important ministers are either in important positions, or have great prestige in the court, everyone can come in handy at critical moments, and they are also loyal to the Tang Dynasty and can be fully trusted. It can be said that Empress Changsun's familiarity with the court far exceeds that of Li Su and Li Zhi.

After determining the ministers to be notified, Li Zhi also came to his senses, and he immediately notified these ministers in his own name to come to the meeting, but as soon as he sent out the people who went to notify, Li Zhi thought of a question again, and immediately said: "Queen Mother, sixth brother, should this matter be hidden from my father?" ”

Hearing this question, Empress Eldest Sun and Li Su were stunned, just now they were only thinking about the reaction of the court, but they forgot about the most critical person. If Li Shimin is told the news of his serious illness, no one knows what will happen, especially in the face of death, even if it is Li Shimin, I am afraid it will be impossible to remain calm.

"Rokuro, do you think you should tell your father about this?" After thinking about it for a while, Empress Eldest Sun opened her mouth to ask Li Su, and unconsciously, Empress Changsun also put Li Su's opinion first.

Li Su also weighed this matter for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Queen Mother, my father has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has almost lost the hands of the enemy several times, so the sons feel that his father should be able to face his life and death calmly, and let his father know in advance that his life is short, and he can also give him some time to deal with some things before his death, so that he can leave without regrets!" ”

In the end, Li Su's eyes were also red, and Empress Changsun and Li Zhi also secretly wept after hearing this, but in the end they also agreed with Li Su's opinion.

Just as Li Su and the others were discussing how to tell Li Shimin about this, the ministers who had been notified also hurried over. Li Zhi informed these ministers in his own name, but the place where they were summoned was in the palace of Empress Changsun, and this unusual situation immediately made these ministers smell a hint of something unusual, so they rushed to the palace as fast as they could.
