334. Fall Ill (I)
In order to avoid the arrow, Li Shimin took his wife to roll to the ground and narrowly avoided it.
Although he had already used his arms to protect his wife at the moment of falling to the ground, the eldest grandson's head still slammed heavily on the ground.
"How are you, Guanyin?" After Li Shimin stopped the guard's mouth, his attention immediately turned to his wife, he turned over and sat up, pulled his wife up together, looked at her faintly pale face with an anxious face, and said.
"The concubine has nothing to do, she has not moved her muscles and bones for many years, this skill is really clumsy, but the concubine almost affected Your Majesty." The eldest grandson forcibly suppressed the pounding mood and shook his head.
"Don't do such a dangerous thing in the future, I have been in the army since I was a child, and I don't know how many times I have rolled in the rain of bullets and arrows, these tricks can't hurt me."
Li Shimin listened to her drum-like heartbeat, but pretended to be indifferent, and his heart was sour and astringent.
"Got it, the assassin has been controlled, let's stop sitting on the ground, let's get up." The eldest grandson smiled, glanced ahead, and hurriedly diverted the conversation.
The movement inside quickly alarmed the forbidden army outside, a large number of forbidden troops rushed in, the assassins died one after another, captured, and the person who shot the dark arrow at Li Shimin before was also arrested, and the scene was controlled.
Li Shimin didn't say anything more, he pulled his wife to his feet, and had the assassin who shot the dark arrow at him escorted.
When this person came to the front, Li Shimin couldn't help blurting out after seeing his appearance clearly: "It's you?" ”
"Yes, it's me, it's a pity that I, Zhao, have been planning the assassination for so many years, but I still haven't succeeded." The assassin stared at Li Shimin viciously and spoke.
This person is the most loyal guard by Li Jiancheng's side, with outstanding skills, named Zhao Changsheng.
He has been by Li Jiancheng's side since he was fifteen years old, and he is loyal, and he happened to be absent from the capital on the day of Li Jiancheng's accident.
After the Xuanwumen change spread, he never showed up again, Li Shimin thought that he could not do anything when he saw it, and he had gone into hiding in frustration.
Unexpectedly, he didn't give up his intention to avenge Li Jiancheng at all, and after all these years, he was actually planning today's assassination.
"You should know that there is no personal grudge between me and Jiancheng, if it weren't for his bent on dealing with me, I wouldn't fight back, and at the same time, the facts have proven that I am indeed more suitable than him for this throne." Li Shimin stared at him quietly for a long time before he spoke.
Zhao Changsheng is only two years younger than Li Jiancheng, and he began to follow Li Jiancheng at the age of fifteen, and for twenty years, he was not only loyal to Li Jiancheng, but also saved Li Shimin's life.
When Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng went on an eastward expedition with Emperor Yang of Sui, Zhao Changsheng blocked arrows for Li Shimin.
Li Shimin also has deep feelings for Zhao Changsheng, and now that he suddenly sees him, the bloody past of Xuanwumen that was almost forgotten by him clearly surfaced in his heart again, and Li Shimin's heart suddenly ached.
Empress Eldest Sun's heart was more like being entangled by something, and she was a little breathless in pain, and she seemed to see Li Yuanji's figure staring at her without blinking eyes, slowly falling to the ground.
"Yu Guo and the people, you are indeed more suitable for the throne than him, but for Zhao, you will always be my enemy, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince, I, Zhao, would have fed the wolf a long time ago, and there would be no decent life later."
"Zhao's life and Zhao's family have been reborn because of His Royal Highness the Prince, but it's a pity that I have been planning for so many years, but it still falls short."
"There's nothing to say, since I have failed, I, Zhao, am willing to gamble and lose, you can do it."
Zhao Changsheng said lightly, and closed his eyes after speaking.
"Guanyin, you, what's wrong with you?" Li Shimin looked at him quietly for a long time, and finally waved his hand without saying a word to let Zhao Changsheng go down, and when he was about to go back to the house, he found that his wife's body was trembling, and her face was even whiter without a trace of blood, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"It's nothing, Your Majesty, it may be that the weather on the mountain is cold, and when I came out at night, I was a little frightened first, and then a little cool breeze, and I felt a little uncomfortable, just go back to my room and rest for a while." Empress Eldest Sun forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face.
Li Shimin helped her into the house, and asked several times if she wanted to summon the imperial doctor to come and have a look, but the eldest grandson said no, he could only give up.
After lying down again, the eldest grandson couldn't sleep, as long as he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng covered in blood, dead and blind.
The fear and uneasiness behind the Xuanwu Gate swept through her body again, but in order not to worry her husband, she lay motionless on the bed until it was almost dawn, and then fell asleep in a daze.
Because of the movement he experienced at night, Li Shimin woke up much later than usual in Japan.
When he opened his eyes, he found that most of his wife's face was buried in a thin quilt, and she was sleeping very deeply.
At first, Li Shimin thought that she was frightened last night and slept a little deeper, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
But when he got dressed and was about to leave, he was a little uneasy, so he opened the quilt and leaned over to his wife's face.
She couldn't help but be taken aback at this look, but her eyes were closed, her face flushed, and her forehead was amazingly hot.
Li Shimin was shocked and anxious, he helped his wife put on his coat three or two times, turned his eyes and shouted: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor." ”
Hou Hou's crown prince outside, King Yue, Princess Changle, Princess Yuzhang, Li Zhi Xiaotong, Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji and other important ministers were taken aback when they heard the emperor's words.
The courtiers did not have the emperor's permission, so it was inconvenient to enter the emperor's bedroom, and Li Shimin's sons and daughters did not have so many scruples, so everyone hurriedly walked in.
They were all awakened by the movement here last night, but the situation was complicated at that time, and everyone didn't dare to move.
Later, when they heard that the turmoil had subsided, everyone rested and rushed over to visit the emperor early in the morning, but the emperor and queen did not wake up when they came, and they waited in the outer hall.
"Father, mother, she ......" Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Changle, Yuzhang and others came in and saw the appearance of the eldest grandson, and they were all taken aback.
"Xu is suffering from the cold, wait until the doctor comes to see it." Li Shimin suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and spoke.
After a while, the accompanying imperial doctor was invited over, this imperial doctor's surname was Zeng, he was the deputy doctor of the Tai Hospital, and he was also one of the two best doctors in the Tai Yi Department, except for Jiang Taiyi.
Imperial Physician Zeng walked to the side of the couch, covered the queen's hand with a silk scarf, and began to help her cut her pulse, and only after a long time did he withdraw his hand.
After Imperial Physician Zeng withdrew his hand, his eyebrows, which were not too thick, were tightly twisted.
"Doctor Zeng, how is it?" Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Changle, Yu Zhang and others were nervous when they saw this, and blurted out a question almost in unison
"Niangniang's six spirits are restless, palpitations and restlessness, coupled with the alternation of cold and heat inside and outside, this disease, the minister is not too sure, according to the minister's opinion, Your Majesty should let Niangniang return to Beijing as soon as possible, and let Imperial Doctor Jiang come to heal." Imperial Physician Zeng said with a look of embarrassment.
As soon as he said this, Li Shimin's heart suddenly sank, and Li Chengqian, Changle and others were about to talk, but they were stopped by him: "Okay, don't say anything, and go back to Beijing today." ”
