Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

In the quiet center of the sanatorium, there is a large open space.

In summer, this place is a vibrant paradise.

The tender green lawn spreads out like velvet, dotted with unknown wild flowers, colorful and emitting bursts of elegant fragrance, attracting bees and butterflies to dance.

In the center of the grassland is a crystal clear artificial lake, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and lush green trees on the shore.

The pavilion in the center of the lake stands quietly on the lake. Some exquisite fishing tools are placed in the pavilion. They are used by meritorious officials to fish here on weekdays to cultivate their character and refine their sentiments.

Now it is the coldest time of the year, the biting north wind is howling, and the white snow is falling down.

The once lush flowers and plants are now all buried under thick snow, leaving only a silver world and complete silence.

Li Shimin's posture is still upright, but it is difficult to hide the traces of time left on him.

He walked steadily in front, with a serious look in his eyes.

The brothers Li Tai and Li Zhi followed closely behind him, carefully supporting Li Jing who was wearing armor.

Li Jing's armor was a little old, but it still exuded an air of majesty that came from a battle experience. However, at this moment, his face was pale and thin, and his body was a little hunched. His former might had been worn away by the years, and every step he took was extremely difficult. He was only able to move forward with the support of the two princes.

Hongfu Nu was wearing a white skirt and red robe, and she followed the crowd silently with light lotus steps. Her eyes were always fixed on Li Jing.

Snowflakes were flying wildly. No one held an umbrella, letting the cold snowflakes fall on their shoulders and hair. Then they instantly turned into water droplets and slid down quietly.

"Pharmacist, what do you think of this snowy scene?"

Li Shimin paused for a moment, then looked back at Li Jing with a questioning look in his eyes.

Li Jing, supported by the two princes, raised his head slightly. His eyes revealed fatigue, but he still tried to force a smile and responded in a slightly weak voice: "Your Majesty, it's beautiful."

"I haven't seen such heavy snow in a long, long time."

"The last time I saw such a spectacular snow scene was when I was conquering the eighteen tribes on the grassland."

"We were truly young back then. In the midst of ice and snow, our Tang soldiers braved the bitter cold, crawling on ice and sleeping in the snow, eating and sleeping in the dew."

"I never thought I'd be lucky enough to witness such heavy snow today. As the saying goes, auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. This is a blessing bestowed by Heaven upon our Tang Dynasty. We are so fortunate!"

Li Shimin listened to Li Jing's words quietly, a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, and then he smiled and nodded, and that smile was full of respect for Li Jing.

The group slowly walked into the pavilion in the center of the lake.

On the stone table in the pavilion, a set of exquisite ivory chess pieces were neatly placed. The chessboard that had not been put away last time was still lying there quietly, silently waiting for the start of the next game.

Li Shimin's eyes inadvertently swept across the chessboard, and in an instant, a complex wave of emotions surged in his heart.

He clearly remembered that this chess game was left over from the last time he and Fang Xuanling played chess here.

At that time, they were discussing state affairs, chatting and laughing, and playing chess on the chessboard.

Now time has passed, Fang Xuanling is no longer alive, things and people have changed, only this chessboard still bears witness to the past.

Li Tai and Li Zhi carefully helped Li Jing to a chair nearby.

The location of this chair is close to the pavilion pillar, which allows Li Jing to lean on his weak body. After all, with his current physical condition, he can no longer sit comfortably on the stone chair in the middle alone.

Li Shimin waved his hand gently and said to Li Tai and Li Zhi, "Zhi Nu, Qing Que, go get some stoves to warm the medicine man. Don't let him catch a cold."

"Yes, Aye." The two brothers answered in unison, then turned and left quickly.

Li Jing turned his head and looked at Hong Fu Nu.

"Madam, please go get two stoves. I'm feeling a little cold."

Hongfu Nu nodded slightly, responded softly, and then followed Li Tai and Li Zhi to get the stove.

For a moment, in this spacious and quiet pavilion in the middle of the lake, only Li Shimin and Li Jing, the monarch and his subject who had gone through countless storms together, were left.

"Your Majesty, it's freezing outside. You are old, so please take good care of yourself. Don't let yourself get cold for the sake of an old minister."

Li Jing panted slightly and spoke in a weak voice.

Li Shimin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, with a hint of warmth in his eyes: "Pharmacist, I am not cold, my heart is still warm at this moment."

"If you don't believe me, touch my hand."

As he spoke, Li Shimin took a step forward and gently held Li Jing's hand.

At this moment, Li Shimin's heart sank suddenly.

He only felt that Li Jing's hands were extremely cold, just like ice in the cold winter, without a trace of warmth.

Although Li Jing's armor was lined with warm tiger skin, the bone-chilling cold still penetrated directly into Li Shimin's palm, making him feel terrified.

Seeing Li Shimin suddenly fall silent, Li Jing seemed to sense something. He struggled to open his heavy eyelids and asked softly, "Grand Emperor, what's wrong? Is it because your hands are too cold?"

Li Shimin quickly came to his senses, shook his head vigorously, and held Li Jing's hands even tighter.

"Pharmacist, you're not cold. Your hands are warm. Pharmacist, you and I have been king and subject for decades, knowing each other and accompanying each other. We've weathered countless storms and hardships along the way, and have come to this point today. What does this mean?"

"You are an unparalleled hero of the Tang Dynasty. When it comes to famous generals, in my heart, you are the best in the world, unmatched."

"In the Martial Temple, Jiang Shang can take the first place, so why can't my pharmacist take the first place?"

"After you finish watching the snow today, go back and rest well. I am still waiting for you to come back and continue to watch the great Tang Dynasty with me."

"I have already lost Xuancheng and Xuanling, I cannot lose you again."

"Pharmacist, you must live a long life!"

Li Shimin's voice trembled slightly, and tears flickered in his eyes.
