At dawn, black clouds crushed the sky, and a storm was approaching. The air was suffocatingly humid, and the entire Imperial City was enveloped in darkness and dullness.

Eldest Sun Wuji knelt in front of Li Shimin’s bed, his bloodshot eyes filled with worry and hesitation. Beside him was Yin De Fei, who had also been sleepless all night. From the moment she entered the door, she had been holding Li Shimin’s hand. She did not say anything or cry and just sat there. On one side, Princess Gaoyang, who had dried up her tears and was extremely exhausted, had just fallen asleep on her mother’s thigh for a while. Inside the room was a palace lantern, accompanied by several imperial physicians, eunuchs, palace wives, and sleepers.

“Your Majesty hasn’t awakened yet. What should we do?” Elder Changsun Wuji frowned deeply and thought to himself, “King Wu was assassinated, and Kansai is going to rebel. The Imperial Court is in chaos, and the Tiger Wolves are opening their eyes … Seeing that the rivers and mountains of our Great Tang are about to be destroyed, Your Majesty, I have followed you for decades, and finally have this ancient and glorious Great Tang! How can you not wake up when you see that your domination has become the world’s peace?”

Eldest Sun Wuji closed his aching eyes and sighed inaudibly.

If there was anyone in this world worthy of his eldest grandson Wuji’s concern, it would definitely be Emperor Li Shimin. Yu Gong said that his eldest grandson Wuji was the first assistant of the current dynasty, and he had already reached the peak of perfection as a human subject. Whatever achievements he had in his life were all thanks to Li Shimin. Li Shimin was not only grateful to him, but also a true master who was willing to die for him.

Privately speaking, Changsun Wuji was not only Li Shimin’s uncle and brother-in-law, but also his childhood confidante and good friend. As the saying goes, a bosom friend is enough in life. Moreover, since ancient times, how many monarchs and subjects have been able to accompany each other for a lifetime without turning their backs on each other, and they are as close as flesh and blood without abandoning each other?

It was Li Shimin who had fulfilled his wish, and it was also Li Shimin who had fulfilled his wish.

At this moment, Eldest Sun Wuji would rather lie in bed and not wake up than let Li Shimin go at this critical moment.

“Great Tang, there can be no Eldest Sun Wuji. How can there be no Emperor?” Closing his eyes, Eldest Sun Wuji almost couldn’t close his tears.

At this time, a Baiji soldier walked in gently. He knelt beside Eldest Sun Wuji and whispered, “Situ, something’s wrong.”

Eldest Sun Wuji understood and got up and walked outside.

Amidst the darkness of dawn, two people knelt at the end of the hundreds of dragon tail dao in Penglai Palace.

“Who is it?” Changsun Wuji asked in surprise.

“It’s General Qin Tong of the Right Guard and Brother Qin Bin of the Deputy Supervisor of Baiji.”

“Him … them?” Changsun Wuji was a little stunned for a moment and wiped his sore eyes. “What are they doing?”

“The two young masters knelt here as soon as they arrived. This subordinate … does not dare to ask.”

Eldest Sun Wuji hurriedly ran down the hundreds of dragon tail dao to the front of the two of them, but when he saw Qin Tong and Qin Bin go to their official uniforms to bind him with their hands behind their backs, he lowered his head and knelt there.

“Young masters, what do you mean?” Changsun Wuji asked in shock!

Young Master, this is an honorable title. Now that the Qin Clan was a distinguished clan, it was a great honor for the first-in-law of the Qin Clan to be respectfully addressed as Young Master. In the Tang Dynasty, only the prime minister or a man from a noble family was worthy of such a title.

“Situ, we two brothers are here to punish you!” Qin Tong looked up at Eldest Sun Wuji and said seriously.

“Why did you say that?!” Changsun Wuji was surprised.

“Ah!” Qin Tongzhong sighed, “Chang’an is popular, Kansai Qin Mubai wants to rebel, Situ doesn’t know?”

“Yes, I heard some rumors.” Eldest Sun Wuji knitted his brows, “But this is just a rumor!-Young masters, please get up quickly! Untie!”

“Situ, please speak.” Qin Tong did not get up and said, “The general also knows that this is most likely a rumor.” However, Ning Xin believed in such a great matter, and he didn’t believe in its absence! That’s right, the two of us are Qin Mubai’s flesh and blood brothers. But we are also ministers of the Tang Empire! If this is just a rumor, then it’s fine. It doesn’t matter if we are willfully tied up by some unjust accusations. “If he really is the opposite … then the Imperial Court will take down the entire Qin Clan, and Qin Tong will bear the brunt. He would rather die than go with the anti-thief!”

“General, you are truly loyal, upright, and righteous, Bo Yuntian. How impressive of you, Eldest Sun Wuji!” Eldest Sun Wuji took a deep breath, bent down and forcefully helped Qin Tong and Qin Bin up, personally relieving the two of them.

“Situ, no!”

“Why not?” “Even I don’t believe that Qin Mubai is going to rebel. Do you still believe me?”

Qin Tong and Qin Bin were instantly stunned!

Ask yourself, did the two brothers believe that Qin Mubai would rebel, and did they want the entire Qin Clan to be completely devoid of chickens and dogs? If the Imperial Court really waited for them to take action, they would be passive instead!

Eldest Sun Wuji personally untied the two of them and looked at them seriously, saying, “That’s right. Everyone knows that Eldest Sun Wuji is at odds with Qin Mubai.” My son, Changsun Huan, also died in the Kansai army. No matter who sees it, I am inseparable from him. But now that the country is in trouble, how can my eldest son, Wuji, miss out on a major national event because he has crippled his public service? –The heavens can learn from the earth, no matter what, Changsun Wuji doesn’t wish to destroy our great river’s foundation for thousands of years! “No matter who it is, as long as he dares to bring calamity to the Great Tang, I, Changsun Wuji, will truly be at odds with him!”

“Situ!” Qin Tong and Qin Bin immediately burst into tears and bowed down again.

“Quick, two young masters, please stand up!” Changsun Wuji helped them up again and comforted them, “Young masters, don’t worry. The rumors stop at the wise. The Imperial Court has its own judgments.” The rumors are spreading fiercely now, but if both of you are unable to remain calm, wouldn’t it be that you have just complied with the rumors and caused the government and the public to be in a state of chaos? The more dangerous this moment was, the more heroic he would be! Therefore, the two young masters must not doubt their rights and be at ease. The right guard was in charge of the Imperial City Guards, and Baiji’s responsibility for escorting them was even more important. At this time when the Imperial Court is employing people, the two young masters must do their duty and be loyal! ”

“Thank you Situ!” Qin Tong and Qin Bin felt both guilty and guilty as they cupped their hands in thanks with tears streaming down their cheeks.

Right at this moment, Qin Bin whispered, “Your Highness?”

The three of them turned around and saw that Princess Gaoyang had arrived not far behind them.

She looked tired, but her expression was cold and solemn as she said indifferently, “I know what you’re talking about.”

‘”Princess, let me explain” Qin Tong hurriedly said.

“Brother, there’s no need to say anything. I know.” Princess Gaoyang smiled faintly and said to Eldest Sun Wuji, “Please listen to me, Uncle. Firstly, I do not believe that Mubai will rebel. Secondly, if Mubai rebels, please start from Gaoyang. As long as a soldier from Kansai dares to step into the Central Plains, he will have to step on my corpse!”

After saying that, Princess Gaoyang turned around and walked back step by step on the stairs of Dragon Tail Road.

Dark clouds billowed, and a thunderclap shook the Imperial City out of thin air.

The heavy rain poured down.

Eldest Sun Wuji and the other three stood under the Dragon Tail Road in shock. They watched Princess Gaoyang’s silhouette gradually fade away and fell into silence.

At this moment, in the Emperor’s bedroom. Imperial Concubine Yin De felt that something was amiss in her hand. She hurriedly fixed her gaze and Li Shimin opened his eyes!

“Your Majesty, you’re awake!” Imperial Concubine Yin De cried out in surprise, tears finally flowing down her cheeks!

Li Shimin half-opened his eyes and looked at Consort Yin De, seemingly unable to turn his head. He weakly held her hand with the slightest bit of strength.

Imperial Concubine Yin De hurriedly summoned the imperial physician A moment later, the imperial physician was overjoyed and said, “The heavens are pitiful, the blessing of the Great Tang! His Majesty has awakened, and he is probably unharmed!”

“Then why can’t His Majesty move or speak?”

“It’s like this for the time being. After resting for a period of time, I can gradually recover.” The imperial physician’s voice trembled with excitement. “Whenever a wind disease breaks out, it can be fatal if it is mild or severe. But luckily, His Majesty’s dragon body is healed and the heavens are watching over him. His Majesty should be fine! As long as he is no longer stimulated or injured, and is treated with medicine and stone, he can recover in a hundred days!”

“So, it’s really heaven’s blessing. My Buddha is merciful!” Imperial Concubine Yin De knelt on the ground

At this time, Princess Gaoyang and Eldest Sun Wuji also returned to their rooms. Seeing the Emperor awaken, they were overjoyed and knelt down in front of their beds, sobbing with joy.

Li Shimin was half-seated on the couch and struggled to open his mouth, unable to speak or raise his hand.

“Hurry up. There’s no need to cry or say anything else. His Majesty has just awakened. It’s not convenient for you to move, nor is it impossible for you to speak, let alone be stimulated by anything.” Imperial Concubine Yin De said.

Eldest Sun Wuji and Princess Gaoyang hurriedly stood up and waved their sleeves to wipe away their tears.

At this time, Li Shimin’s eyes were struggling to open, but his eyes stared fixedly at Eldest Sun Wuji, as if he had words, but could not speak. “Does His Majesty have a decree?” Eldest Sun Wuji understood. He sat down beside the couch and leaned closer to Li Shimin, whispering, “Does His Majesty have a decree?”

Li Shimin struggled to blink his eyes.

Imperial Concubine Yin De and Princess Gaoyang exchanged a glance and quietly retreated, bringing the people of the Imperial Physician Palace and the others out.

There was no one else around. Eldest Sun Wuji asked, “What is His Majesty’s will?”

Li Shimin struggled to open his mouth and was speechless. Eldest Sun Wuji was extremely anxious. Seeing Li Shimin staring fixedly at his chest, he thought for a moment and asked, “Heart? Is His Majesty’s chest hurting?”

Li Shimin gestured with his eyes, “No!”

“Heart … heartache? Heart flesh?-Your Majesty is worried about the prince’s safety?” After all, Changsun Wuji was smart and knew Li Shimin well.

Li Shimin blinked his eyes as if relieved, indicating that he had guessed correctly.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. I have already sent Chu Suiliang to Jingzhou to investigate the case of King Wu. I have to report that King Wu’s life should be safe, but he was kidnapped! I believe that Chu Suiliang will soon find out the truth and save King Wu!” Chu Suiliang had gone to Jingzhou and hadn’t returned yet. Changsun Wuji was also making up nonsense, all he wanted to do was to make Li Shimin feel relieved.

Li Shimin gestured with his eyes, ‘I’m not worried about Li Ke.’

“Could it be that His Majesty is worried about other princes?” Changsun Wuji said in surprise.

Li Shimin blinked, ‘You’re so smart, you guessed right’!

“Could it be that His Majesty is worried about … King Jin?!”

Li Shimin’s eyes widened!

Eldest Sun Wuji was also shocked. He thought to himself, “That’s right, I’m so confused! If something happens to King Wu, wouldn’t King Jin be in the same danger?!”-The day of the first emperor’s sacrifice is approaching. A month ago, King Jin was ordered to go to Taiyuan, the northern capital, to worship his ancestors on behalf of the emperor. Counting the time, it’s time to return now. If King Jin was also in the middle of the road, then it would be terrible! ”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. This old official will immediately dispatch a capable person to lead the troops to the Northern Capital to welcome King Jin back to the capital!” Changsun Wuji clenched Li Shimin’s hand and said.

Only then did Li Shimin let out a long sigh and closed his eyes in exhaustion.

Eldest Sun Wuji secretly rejoiced and secretly felt sad. He thought to himself, “The heavens are pitiful. Even though His Majesty is suffering from a sudden wind sickness, fortunately, his mind is clear, and he is still wise and wise.” As an unill person, I’m not as thoughtful as him! –God damn it, I should have thought of protecting King Jin!

At this moment, Li Shimin shook his eldest Sun Wuji’s hand. “Does His Majesty still have a decree?” The eldest Sun Wuji hurriedly said.

Li Shimin moved his eyes away and stared fixedly at the bowl of medicine at the bedside.

“Oh, His Majesty wants to use medicine? I will call the imperial physician immediately!” After saying that, Changsun Wuji wanted to leave.

Li Shimin almost used all of his strength to pull Eldest Sun Wuji back.

“Isn’t His Majesty going to use medicine?”

Li Shimin stared hard at the bowl of medicine again!

“Medicinal bowl? Medicinal? Medicinal Master! Medicinal Master Li?!” “His Majesty is summoning Li Jing, Duke Wei?”

Li Shimin closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

“I actually guessed correctly. His Majesty is summoning Li Jing!” Changsun Wuji’s heart pounded!

At this time, the emperor wanted to summon Li Jing, who had long since retired, what was his purpose? … Could it be that it was for Qin Mubai? !

His Majesty had been unconscious for a few days, so he definitely didn’t know about the rumors about Kansai. But King Wu’s misfortune could easily be associated with Qin Mubai-could it be that His Majesty was also worried that Qin Mubai would be forced to rebel because of this?

Ning believe it has, don’t believe it none; At this moment of crisis, guard against unburning!

Moreover, when His Majesty the Emperor fell, there would be no one to suppress the civil and martial sects’ disputes in the Imperial Court. In fact, apart from Qin Mubai, there were also many generals of the feudal marshals. Who could suppress them?

Only Apothecary Li, Duke Wei!

The situation was unpredictable. If one day Qin Mubai was really forced to rebel and His Majesty the Emperor was unable to take charge of the overall situation, who would be able to suppress Kansai and turn the tide?

Only Duke Wei, Apothecary Li!

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji burst into tears. He clenched Li Shimin’s hand tightly and sobbed, “Your Majesty, don’t worry, this old official will go and invite Duke Wei! Your Majesty has the right to rest assured and recuperate. Everything will be taken care of by this old official, Fang Xuanling, Duke Wei, and the others. As long as we wait for this old official to breathe, the heavens of the Great Tang will not fall!”

Li Shimin closed his eyes and let go of his eldest Sun Wuji’s hand. He heaved a long sigh of relief, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep again.
