Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 46 Real Sickness and Fake Sickness (Modified Version)

"My minister participated in the Jin Dynasty and returned to the Tang Dynasty, and committed treasonous things against Princess Changle." In the outer hall of Li Lizhi's bedroom, Li Tai's first reaction when he saw Li Er was to complain.

"My son apologizes for not taking good care of my sister." Li Ke saw Li Er's expression change instantly, and quickly apologized.

"For virtue, tell me what's going on." Li Er's expression became slightly better when he heard Li Ke's words. In Li Er's heart, daughters are more important than etiquette, so he didn't care when he heard Li Tai come up. Caring about my sister's condition, but complaining, I was very annoyed. (Historical books do not record Li Ke’s characters. There are legends that Li Ke’s character is “virtue” and another word is “virtue”.)
"Cheng Huaimo begged some meatballs from Jin Guitang, and my younger sister ate more greedily. After going to the river to change clothes, I wanted to see my appearance in the river, but I never wanted to fall into the water. The guard ran away when he heard the female officer's cry for help. In the past, the water was a bit deep, and I couldn't find my sister for a while. When I rescued my sister, she had no pulse. It was the imperial doctor Zhen who saw something bad, and asked Cheng Huaimo to call Jin Gui Tang, and Jin Gui Tang was rude to her sister action." Li Ke narrated the whole thing objectively.

"Hui Bao, is what your third brother said true?" Li Er turned to Li Tai again, asking for confirmation.

"Yes. But the return of Jin to Tang is really hateful, and he threatened to kill his son." There were too many people who saw the whole story, and it was impossible for Li Tai to kill them all, so he could only catch Jin Yu's rude behavior and say thing.

"Huh~? He is so bold?" Li Er started his career by rebelling, and he was most worried about courageous people. His nasal voice was protracted, expressing his anger.

"Father, the emperor calmed down. It's because the servants didn't stop the fourth brother in time. Gui Tang misunderstood the fourth brother and refused to let him rescue him. Gui Tang will speak freely." Although Li Tai was rude to Li Ke, Li Ke, as the elder brother, , besides being a bastard, he didn't pay much attention to it, and even covered it up for him, but he couldn't let Li Tai talk nonsense.

"Is he really unscrupulous?" Li Er waited to look at Li Ke.

"Yes, at that time Jin Gui Tang was thinking about how to save people, but the fourth younger brother was blocking it, and the son couldn't stop it, so there was some misunderstanding." Li Ke lowered his head to report, and sneaked a glance at his father from the corner of his eye, looking at his father. Huang Yu was still angry, and said: "After Jin Gui Tang rescued his sister, he apologized to his ministers for his rude behavior, explaining that this was a helpless move, and if he didn't do this, he would have no chance to save his sister's life. Jin Gui Tang After apologizing, I told my son-in-law to take good care of my younger sister, saying that my younger sister may have nightmares in the past two days, and she must keep warm, otherwise she will easily catch a cold."

"I see, you two go down first." Li Er waved his hand to chase them away, turned around and walked into Princess Changle's bedroom.

"See Your Majesty." Empress Changsun and a group of female officials hurriedly saluted Li Er when they saw Li Er coming in.

Li Er waved his hand to let all the female officials push it out, went to help the eldest grandson empress and said: "How many times have I told you that you are pregnant, don't give these false gifts."

"The concubine did it on purpose." Empress Changsun's words surprised Li Er, "Physician Zhen has reported the whole story to the concubine just now, not to mention the merits of Jin's return to Tang Yuguo, but to talk about how he saved Lizhi's life this time." Well, His Majesty cannot hold him accountable for his disrespect."

"But Lizhi is my beloved daughter, the proud daughter of heaven, how can a brat desecrate it?" Li Er was still a little entangled in the skin relationship between Jin Yu and Changle Meimei.

"If Gui Tang doesn't rescue him in time, Your Majesty and his concubines will not be beautiful now. If Your Majesty punishes Gui Tang, who will dare to help the emperor when he is in danger?" Empress Changsun is worthy of both virtue and virtuousness. What matters is not only what is right and wrong at present, but the longer-term justice and people's hearts.

"What the Guanyin servant said is reasonable, but if I care about it, it will be chaotic." Li Er could quite hear the advice of the empress of the ages, and the knot in his heart loosened.

"Your Majesty just loves his daughter dearly." Empress Changsun found a step for Li Er.

"What did Zhen Liyan say?" Li Er helped Empress Changsun to sit on the brocade stool in front of the bed, and he himself also pulled Jin Deng to sit beside her.

"Lizhi has already taken the tranquilizing and cold-dispelling medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Zhen. Imperial Physician Zhen said that as long as Lizhi does not catch the cold, she will be fine after a few days of cultivation." Empress Changsun relayed Zhen Liyan's words.

"Well, that's good." Li Erda was relieved when he heard that Li Li was fine, but he always didn't want to make Jin Yu cheaper, and then said: "This matter is also the responsibility of Jin Guitang, and it's all because of the meat he made. The meatballs are so delicious, Lizhi eats too much to change clothes, and Lizhi does not go to work and change clothes, she will not go to the river to groom herself, she will not fall into the water, the merits and demerits are equal, and I will not hold him accountable for his rudeness gone."

"Your Majesty is really childish." Empress Changsun glanced at the sleeping Chang Le before flirting with Li Er in peace.

Li Er enjoyed this kind of warmth without barriers very much. He patted his eldest grandson's hand and decided to be shameless to the end. He didn't take good care of his younger sister, so he sent someone to learn Jin Guitang's skill in making meatballs, and Li Zhi could eat them whenever she wanted."

"Your Majesty is really ``````" Empress Changsun looked dumbfounded, and couldn't find the right words to describe His Majesty Li Er at this time.

"Li Zhi has been holding her mouth since she was young, so there are not many people who can make her greedy, and we are also honored by our daughter." Li Er chuckled, how could he still have the majesty of an emperor at this time?

"Forget it, His Majesty won't worry about such trivial matters, let the concubines take care of them." Empress Changsun would not follow Li Er's messes, and wanted to handle these matters for him.

"Well, I don't worry about your work!" Li Er's reassuring eldest grandson said, "Let's go out and arrange more female officials to be on duty. Jin Gui Tang said that Li Zhi would have nightmares, so arrange another imperial doctor. Do you think he can do it?" Is the lottery counted?" Although Li Er was dissatisfied with Jin Yu's rude behavior, it didn't mean that he didn't care about Princess Changle's suggestion.

"Wei Aiqing, is Cheng Huaimo consistent with what everyone else said?" Li Er arranged for the female officer to send away the eldest grandson empress, and asked Wei Zhengdao who had returned from investigating the truth.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, what everyone said is correct. Princess Changle did accidentally fall into the water. She had no pulse when she was rescued. It was Jin Gui Tang who rejuvenated and snatched Princess Changle back from the hands of Hades." Wei Zheng reported truthfully.

"Well, I'm sorry for Wei Aiqing, Aiqing, let's step down." Li Er nodded in praise, and then said something to drive him away.

"What else is there for Aiqing?" Li Erwei Zheng asked hesitantly.

"Ten guards of King Wei did not return to the palace." Wei Zheng revealed the only doubtful point of the investigation.

"I know, let Cheng Huaimo and others go back." Li Er waved his hand to signal Wei Zheng to leave, but he thought to himself, hoping that there would be time.

After Princess Changle came back, she was given a bowl of bitter concoction. Don’t drink it. The queen mother watched there, so she had to pinch her nose and drink it down. , Thinking of the toothache again, I dare not eat it.But the bitter taste in my mouth couldn’t dissipate for a while, I was full at noon, and I couldn’t eat snacks at all. Thinking of the magic plaster for toothache, it seemed that my mouth was fragrant and sweet every time I brushed my teeth, so I asked my mother for instructions, brushed my teeth and went to bed , I didn't expect it to work, the breath is fresh, and there is no bitterness.

Changle was very tired from sleeping this time, and at the beginning the effects of the medicine were alright, but then he dreamed that he fell into the water, the surroundings were icy, and he was shivering from the cold, and he was choked up several times, unable to yell out.When he was in despair, a person dragged himself out of the water and hugged him in his arms. His arms were really warm and made people feel very comfortable. Chang Le squeezed into his arms again in his dream.I don't know if it's because of his warmth, or because of being in the arms of a strange man, Changle only feels that he is so hot, getting hotter and hotter.

The female officer on duty was very conscientious. Seeing the princess trembling, she covered her with a brocade quilt.Later, the princess kicked the quilt sweating, covered it, kicked it again, covered it again, and kicked it again.Dare to touch the princess' forehead, it was very hot, and called the imperial doctor on duty.The imperial physician checked the pulse, determined it was a cold, and prescribed a dose of medicine.In the early morning, he reported the matter to Eunuch Zhang, who was on duty next to Li Er.

********************
But he said that Jin Yu invited Hu Yue, who was righteous and rescued, to go home together. After he settled down, he asked Cheng Huaimo: "How did Huaimo know that King Wei is going to be against me?"

"Before I returned to the palace, my younger brother discovered that King Wei's guards were missing a few, but Mr. Wei investigated the matter according to the holy order. My younger brother can't come out to warn my elder brother. I just need to let the servants come to report the letter. I just didn't expect them to be impatient and do it today. It's not that little brother came out too late, luckily the elder brother reached out, it's nothing serious." Cheng Huaimo explained.

"Then why did Huaimo let me pretend to be sick?" Jin Yu asked again, knowing the cause and effect.

"After the elder brother saved someone, he was attacked and injured instead. Those people were concerned about the speech, and they had to weigh whether to take another shot. Moreover, the attitude of the Lord Wei when he asked showed that His Majesty was still on the side of the elder brother, pretending to be beaten. Injury, maybe you can get some benefits, right?" Cheng Huaimo said the little Jiujiu in his heart.
