Since Li Shimin returned from the princess's mansion on February 25, he has been very depressed and irritable.

After returning from the princess's mansion, he tried to contact Pingyang's master, Mrs. In, but through various channels, he couldn't find Mrs. In's whereabouts.

On the evening of February 28, Li Shimin had just returned from the court, and was standing behind the courtyard of Jinsheng Garden, looking at a plum tree in a daze, when he suddenly saw the guard next to him hurriedly walking over with a guard from the princess's mansion, and the expression on the guard's face was very sad.

Li Shimin's heart chuckled, he turned around, and turned his eyes to look at the guard: "You are in a hurry at this time, but what happened to the princess's mansion?" ”

Because his heart was too anxious, his gaze was very sharp, and the power of the iron-blooded battlefield for several years unconsciously exuded, and the guard was suddenly stared at by Li Shimin like this, and his legs were so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground.

Fortunately, he was the person next to Princess Pingyang, and he also went to the battlefield with Pingyang, so he quickly stabilized his mind, took a slight breath, and said with a sad face: "Back to the prince, it's our princess, she, she died ......"

Li Shimin only felt a pain in his chest when he heard the sound, his eyes were dark, and he stumbled unconsciously under his feet, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes after seven or eight breaths: "When is it?" Has anyone in the palace gone to report the news? ”

"Half an hour ago, the horse had already sent someone to the palace to report the news." The guard replied.

"Got it, you go back, I'll go right away." Li Shimin said.

The guards saluted Li Shimin and quickly turned to leave.

After this person left, the eldest grandson princess walked out of the courtyard, she came to Li Shimin's side, and said in a low voice: "Erniang, it's my sister who ......."

Li Shimin didn't look back, nor did he answer, the tiger staring at the plum tree was unconsciously full of tears, and after a while, he turned his eyes to his wife and said, "I'll go to the princess's mansion." ”

"I'll go with you." The eldest grandson, the princess, blurted out.

"Sister, she...... That's it, you and your sister have a deep relationship, you don't have to be so particular, come with me. Li Shimin thought that it was getting late today, let her go over tomorrow, and after thinking about it, the relationship between his wife and sister was not necessarily much worse than his own, and he did not refuse her request.

After the words fell, the husband and wife took a step and strode out, and when they arrived at the princess's mansion, a white flag had been hung in front of the princess's mansion.

Li Shimin and his wife didn't let anyone report it, all the way to the courtyard where Princess Pingyang lived, they were obviously the first to come, except for Chai Shao's father and son, no one else came over in the princess's mansion.

After the two went in, they found that their brother-in-law Chai Shao was sitting quietly in front of the bed, looking at his wife who had closed her eyes forever on the bed in a daze, her eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried fiercely.

Chai Zhewei threw himself on Pingyang and cried loudly, the child didn't know how long he cried, and his voice was hoarse.

As for Xiao Lingwei, he is not yet a year old, so it is inconvenient for him to stay here, which room will be placed by the nurse.

When the eldest princess saw this situation, she had the heart to say something, but before she could speak, her eyes fell on Princess Pingyang, who was lying motionless on the bed with her eyes closed, and the sadness in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and tears poured out like a torrent of lack of embankment.

She couldn't alarm others, so she could only cover her mouth with her hands and avoid silent crying on the side, Li Shimin obviously didn't have the time to pay attention to his wife at this time, he looked at his sister who was lying on the bed, motionless, and walked over.

Walked all the way to the bed, reached out and touched his sister's hand, the palm touched was already cold, obviously the person had been gone for a while, he unconsciously closed his eyes, two lines of tears rolled down uncontrollably.

But in the end, he is a military person, no matter how sad he is, he can still hold on, he forcibly suppressed the grief in his heart, and reached out to hug Chai Zhewei, who was crying on Pingyang's body: "Zhewei, get up, don't let your mother go uneasy." ”

"Brother-in-law, please mourn, father, and eldest brother, and all brothers and sisters, I'm afraid it's coming soon, you, please cheer up." After Li Shimin picked up Chai Caowei, he said to Chai Shao.

"Uncle, uncle......" Chai Zhewei, who was pulled up by Li Shimin, sobbed for a while, then turned around and threw himself into his arms, hugged him and cried loudly.

"I know, Erlang, Zhewei, you help me take care of it first, and I'll arrange some things." was persuaded by Li Shimin, and then heard his son crying, the tears in Chai Shao's eyes rolled down again, he took a breath, glanced at his son who was crying loudly in Li Shimin's arms, and got up and stood up.

He probably had been sitting quietly for too long, and his mood was too sad, and he was a seven-foot iron man, and his body shook at the moment he just stood up, and he almost fell to the ground.

Li Shimin was startled, and quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed him: "Brother-in-law, you, you mourn, Zhewei and Ling Wu are still young......"

"I know, don't worry, I'll be fine." Chai Shao stabilized his figure with King Qin's hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said.

"Zhewei, you are nine years old, you are a little man, you have to help your father take care of your younger brother, take care of your mother's funeral, your father and your mother have a deep relationship, your mother died suddenly, and the pain he endured is only above you."

"You're not only going to help him take care of his brother, but you're going to take care of him, you know?" After Chai Shao left, Li Shimin pulled Chai Zhe out of his arms, let his eyes be level with himself, and said word by word.

"I, I know, uncle." Chai Zhewei looked at him for a while, although the tears in his eyes were still flowing, the crying gradually stopped.

"Zhewei." Princess Eldest Sun eased up at this time, she wiped away her tears, sat down on the side of Princess Pingyang's bed, and reached out to gently stroke Chai Zhewei's head.

Li Shimin saw that his wife was relieved, so he handed Chai Zhewei over to her to take care of, his eyes fell on Princess Pingyang on the bed again, he quietly looked at his sister who had closed her eyes tightly and was so thin that she couldn't see a little flesh on her cheeks, and said silently in his heart: Sister, brother-in-law and your two children, I will help you take good care of them.

For the time being, no one in Chai Mansion came in to move the body of Princess Pingyang, Pingyang was a princess and was deeply favored by Gaozu, she died suddenly, and the emperor and a group of princes would definitely come over to say goodbye to her remains.

Not long after Chai Shao left the room, the crown prince and Qi Wanghe came over, and as soon as they entered the inner courtyard, the sharp voice of the inner servant came from outside: "Your Majesty has arrived!" As this voice fell, Gaozu Li Yuan hurriedly walked in, and with him came a prince and clan member who should be in Beijing.
