The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

No, absolutely not!

To Li Shimin's surprise, Queen Changsun actually rejected his proposal.

And the mood began to fluctuate again.

Okay, I promise you that! Li Shimin said quickly.

She was afraid that Queen Changsun would suffer from another anger attack.

In Li Shimin's own mind, he had not really made this decision.

One is his biological son who has been living abroad for sixteen years, and the other is his heir whom he has carefully cultivated for sixteen years.

For sixteen years, Li Shimin didn't know how much thought he had spent on Li Chengqian.

Moreover, the ministers in the court also treated Li Chengqian as the prince.

At this time, if it is announced that Li Chengqian is not his legitimate son, it will be a trivial matter for the royal family to lose face. I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will also be plunged into turmoil.

Li Shimin definitely didn't want to see this scene.

Your Majesty, for the past sixteen years, that child Cheng Qian has been quite filial. Even if he is not a child of our royal family, you and I have watched him grow up.

As for Zhao Chen, my son... Queen Changsun covered her eyes with her hands and her voice was broken.

I know that my time is short...

Nonsense, Divine Doctor Sun told me that you will be fine, Maid Guanyin. You can rest for a few months. Let's go to Wangyou Tavern together and meet that little bastard Zhao Chen again. Li Shimin immediately cut off Queen Changsun's words with a very expression on his face. Ugly.

Queen Changsun smiled.

She doesn't need others to know what's going on with her body.

Although he had been nursed back to health by Sun Simiao, his breathing had been stable for the past two days.

But even walking requires help from others.

How can she talk about the future?

Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine. Queen Changsun said.

Zhao Chen is at ease now in Pingkangfang. I don't want to disturb his life because of this matter.

Zhao Chen is still young. Your Majesty will find an opportunity to bring Divine Doctor Sun to have a look at him. Don't be like a concubine in the future.

If God shows mercy and Zhao Chen's illness improves, I will leave, and I will be happy.

Shut up, I don't want to hear you say such depressing words again, Maid Guanyin. Li Shimin shouted coldly.

stand between two

The look of the palace maid and eunuch waiting beside him changed, and he knelt down in a hurry.

This was the first time for the saint to speak to the Queen in such a tone.

Queen Changsun looked at Li Shimin with her beautiful eyes, gently caressing Li Shimin's face, her eyes full of tenderness and reluctance.

…

Divine Doctor Sun, I met a young man in Pingkangfang a few days ago, and I had a great conversation with him.

In the side hall of the palace, Sun Simiao was thinking about saying goodbye to His Majesty the Emperor.

He didn't just treat Empress Changsun.

There are still many people in the Tang Dynasty waiting for his treatment.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin came in person.

He also said something that he didn't quite understand.

Sun Simiao said nothing, waiting for Li Shimin's next words.

This young man, like the queen, is also suffering from qi disease. I don't want this good young man to die from such a disease, so I would like to ask Divine Doctor Sun to come with me to have a look. Li Shimin continued.

A doctor has the heart of a parent, and I will definitely do my best, but...

I understand. Doctor Sun will do his best. Li Shimin nodded to express his understanding.

Then please go ahead, Your Majesty. Sun Simiao stretched out his hand and asked Li Shimin to go first.

By the way, Divine Doctor Sun, this young man doesn't know my identity. He only knows that I am a businessman from Shu. You only need to diagnose and treat me, and don't talk nonsense. Li Shimin took two steps, stopped again, and turned around to tell him. .

Sun Simiao nodded, and the two of them left the palace one after the other.

…

Outside the Wangyou Tavern.

Zhao Chen was sweeping the fallen leaves on the steps with a broom.

A middle-aged woman walked towards Wangyou Tavern with a small bamboo basket in her hand.

The bamboo basket was covered with several clean handkerchiefs. The bamboo basket was so heavy that it seemed to be weighing down the woman's arms.

Brother Zhao, folks, ask the old woman to give something to Brother Zhao. The woman shouted to Zhao Chen.

Only then did Zhao Chen raise his head and notice the person coming.

Aunt Zhang, come in and have a rest. Zhao Chen smiled and stood aside, inviting the woman to

Come in.

The woman in front of him is Zhao Chen's neighbor in his hometown in Wannian County.

He usually takes good care of Zhao Chen and Uncle Fu.

Forget it about taking a rest, the old lady has to rush back to cook for the family. The woman smiled and declined Zhao Chen's kindness.

He placed the bamboo basket in his hand on the ground and opened several handkerchiefs to reveal long strips of red and green peppers inside.

Brother Zhao, fortunately, I listened to you and tried that barrel cart. It transports water much faster than the ordinary keel cart. Now the villagers can irrigate the fields in one morning.

There are also some peppers you asked us to plant. They just matured a few days ago. A wealthy businessman happened to pass by and took a taste of our peppers. He wanted to buy them at a high price on the spot.

But according to Brother Zhao's instructions, we only sold him ten pounds.

Although only ten pounds were sold, each family received a lot of money, enough to cover a month's expenses. ??

The villagers all thought well of Brother Zhao, so they asked the old lady to come over to say hello to him, and brought some chili peppers that had just been harvested in the morning.

The woman was happily talking to Zhao Chen about the recent events in the village.

He looked at Zhao Chen with eyes full of respect.

Previously in his hometown in Wannian County, Zhao Chen promoted the use of barrel trucks to transport water to the villagers, and also took out some pepper seeds and gave them to them.

I am also grateful to everyone for taking care of him and Uncle Fu during those days.

The folks are simple and honest, and there is a distance of dozens of miles between Wannian County and Pingkangfang. It would take at least two or three hours to walk there on two legs.

What's more, it's an elderly woman.

But even though the journey was long, the woman still walked dozens of miles just to deliver some freshly picked peppers to herself.

Aunt Zhang, thank you folks. Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Brother Zhao, I want to thank you because the villagers want to thank you. If it weren't for you, we would be still carrying water in the fields to irrigate the fields! The woman said quickly.

Haha, it's just a piece of cake. It's almost noon. Uncle Fu is cooking in the kitchen. Aunt Zhang should stay and have lunch before going back. Zhao Chen pulled the woman and invited her in to eat.

Brother Zhao, you have guests here. I can eat whatever I want on the way.

If you want something, you have to go back. Now we all have some savings.

Brother Zhao, the old lady is gone. You must take care of yourself. If you are not comfortable in Chang'an City, just say something and everyone will come to take you home. The woman gently pulled out her arm, waved to Zhao Chen, and said No more bamboo baskets.

He glanced at the person coming behind him, turned around and left.

Seeing that the woman left in such a hurry, without even leaving any food to eat, Zhao Chen's eyes showed a little disappointment.

However, Zhao Chen was a little surprised when he saw the visitor.

Zhao Chen, is that woman familiar with you just now? Li Shimin asked.

Behind him, Sun Simiao was carrying a medicine box. He glanced at Zhao Chen and realized that Zhao Chen's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Li Shimin in front of him.

But he didn't take it to heart.

There were tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, and there were a lot of people with similar facial features.

My neighbor from my hometown came to see me today! Zhao Chen smiled and explained casually.

Isn't your hometown Wannian County? It's dozens of miles away from Pingkangfang. Li Shimin was a little surprised.

Wannian County is at least forty miles away from Pingkangfang, and Chang'an City opens its doors every day.

At this time, we arrived at Pingkangfang.

In other words, this woman had already left home before dawn.

A woman walked dozens of miles on two legs, under starry nights, just to visit Zhao Chen?

How could Zhao Chen, a mere young man, let someone do this?

The more he thought about it, the more Li Shimin found it unbelievable.

Yes, but let's not talk about this. Let Uncle Fu make you a new thing later. Zhao Chen smiled and lifted the bamboo basket, but he couldn't control his breath.

It's up to me to take care of your body! Li Shimin took a step forward and took the bamboo basket from Zhao Chen's hand.

Sun Simiao behind him was stunned for a moment.

But it has been discovered that the person suffering from qi disease as mentioned by His Majesty the Emperor is the young man in front of him.

However, His Majesty the Emperor personally carried the bamboo basket for this young man, it seemed...

Sun Simiao shook his head. This had nothing to do with him. He was just here to see a doctor.
