On the fourth day of August in the eighth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin set off from Jiucheng Palace to return to Beijing.

Because his wife was seriously ill, he was anxious, and the speed of his return was faster than when he came.

Empress Changsun woke up twice on the way, but each time she was awake only for a short time, and then fell asleep again.

The high fever in her body has subsided under the care of Imperial Doctor Zeng, but other conditions have not improved in the slightest, and Li Shimin and several of his children, including Qinglan, are very worried about this.

As soon as he returned to the Lizheng Palace, without Li Shimin's instructions, Ah Chou rushed to the Imperial Doctor's Office like a gust of wind, picked up Imperial Doctor Jiang, who was squinting and napping on the chair, and at the same time brought his medical box over, and dragged him to the Lizheng Palace.

When the emperor went to Jiucheng Palace before, this old family refused to follow, in his words, he was old, his body and bones could not stand the long-distance travel, and he could not go to Jiucheng Palace.

Li Shimin knew the temperament of the second elder, and saw that he was determined to go with him, so he had no choice but to bring Doctor Zeng over.

"Ouch, ugly girl, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Imperial Doctor Jiang was carried all the way by her, and he was so tired that he was out of breath, and he couldn't help but complain.

"Niangniang is sick, and Doctor Zeng is helpless, and she has to trouble the old lady doctor to go over for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible." Ugly walked as he walked.

Imperial Physician Jiang's heart tightened when he heard this, and he immediately closed his mouth, Ah Chou is the big palace maid next to the queen, and she is a person who practices martial arts, and her temperament is more impatient than ordinary people.

But she is already in her thirties, and she has already experienced with the queen over the years, and since Imperial Doctor Jiang entered the palace, she has never seen her so impatient, it seems that the queen is really not very good.

Imperial Physician Jiang entered the palace at the end of the first year of Zhenguan, and it has been eight years now, and next to the cold eyes of these years, he admires the queen of the eldest grandson from the bottom of his heart.

In his opinion, as long as the queen lives well, whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, it can be very stable.

Once the queen is gone, the variables will be great, and it is true that Your Majesty is a promising king who knows how to make good use of people.

But he has a flying temperament, and he has some great joys in his bones, if there is no queen to follow him and remind him all the time, it is really hard to say what will happen in the future.

None of the women in His Majesty's harem are simple, but the eldest grandson queen is too capable, her existence is like a needle in the sea, she can steadily suppress everyone, as long as she is there, the harem is as stable as Mount Tai.

Once the queen is gone, and the emperor has so many children, I am afraid that disputes will soon break out.

In the more than ten years of war from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he had seen too many human tragedies with human lives.

In his opinion, a virtuous and transparent queen like the eldest grandson should really live longer, preferably longer than the emperor, so that the prince can really grow up and take on all the heavy responsibilities......

Just when Imperial Physician Jiang was thinking nonsense, the Lizheng Hall arrived, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Empress Changsun lying on the small couch in the west side hall and falling asleep, and Li Shimin was sitting beside her with a heavy face.

When Imperial Physician Jiang saw him and was about to step forward to salute, Li Shimin had already stood up and waved his hand: "Don't talk about these false courtesies, Imperial Physician Jiang, come and see the queen first." ”

Imperial Physician Jiang was originally a reckless person, the emperor asked him not to salute, he did not insist, walked to the queen's couch and sat down in a few steps, took the silk silk handed by the palace maid, covered the queen's wrist, and began to call for her.

This number took nearly half a cup of tea, and Li Shimin and his sons and daughters didn't dare to come out when they saw this.

Finally waiting for Imperial Physician Jiang's hand to be taken back, Li Shimin couldn't help but blurt out: "How is it, Imperial Physician Jiang, how is the queen?" ”

"The queen is getting older, she has given birth too frequently over the years, she has consumed too much energy, coupled with her heavy heart, she has recently been frightened and cold, alternating between inside and outside, it is really not good, it is estimated that she needs to recuperate for a while."

Imperial Physician Jiang twisted a pair of gray eyebrows and was silent for a long time before speaking.

When the queen gave birth to Princess Jinyang the year before last, he had the heart to tell the emperor not to let the queen continue to give birth.

But at that time, the queen's body was still supportive, and the emperor had no intention of letting the queen stop giving birth, so he didn't say much.

The next year, the queen was pregnant with another one, and now this body of energy is almost consumed, he did not finish his later words, even if the queen gets better this time, I am afraid that I can only often linger on the sickbed in the future, as for the lifespan......

When Li Shimin heard this, a touch of embarrassment suddenly flashed across his face, the queen's frequent childbirth, to put it bluntly, is also his credit.

He likes the children of his concubine, thinking that letting the queen give birth frequently is a manifestation of his love for her, but he forgot the danger of the queen when she was beautiful......

As for the few children present, only Li Lizhen was married, the crown prince, and the king of Yue had not yet taken a kiss, and suddenly heard that Imperial Doctor Jiang felt a little embarrassed, and no one could say anything for a while.

"I'll prescribe a few prescriptions first, let the mother try it, and see the effect." Imperial Physician Jiang glanced at everyone lightly and said.

In his opinion, the queen's illness, in addition to the excessive consumption of vitality, seems to be very serious, when he entered the palace, he heard Sun Simiao talk about the queen, and knew that the hurdle in Xuanwumen was her biggest heart disease.

At that time, she almost fell ill and died, and it took a year or two for her to slowly adjust.

Now that I went to Jiucheng Palace, I came back like this, most of the things that happened over there that touched the queen's memory.

But these are obviously not what he should ask as a doctor, he only does what he should do, he prescribed a prescription, told the matters to be paid attention to during the taking period, and asked Ah Chou to go with him to get the medicine.

"Father, mother?" After Imperial Physician Jiang left, Li Zhi, the youngest child who was present, walked up to Li Shimin, looked at the eldest grandson on the sickbed with a worried face and asked.

He is six years old, and since he was born, he has been living with his eldest grandson, and he just moved out of the Lizheng Palace last year, and he is extremely attached to his eldest grandson.

Now that she is seriously ill, and listening to the words of the imperial doctor, the queen mother's illness seems to be very serious, and he is very frightened.

"Jiren has her own natural appearance, your queen mother has never done anything harmful in her life, but she has blessed many people who don't know much, I believe she will get better, didn't Imperial Doctor Jiang say it, your mother just needs to be recuperated for a while."

Li Shimin pursed his lips, reached out and gently stroked his young son's head, and was silent for a moment before speaking.

He said yes in his mouth, but his heart was very heavy, he knew very well how heavy the shadow of the Xuanwu Sect matter was in his wife's heart.

It took her nearly two years to suppress it, and as soon as Zhao Changsheng appeared, he once again pulled the bloody memory in front of her.
