I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

He could only slap himself a few times to use the pain to ease the huge sense of gap.

Out of consideration for their brotherly love, his elder brother not only did not kill his rebellious brother, but also had books delivered to the Wude Hall every day.

There is nothing to worry about in life, as three meals a day are delivered to you.

Whenever I think of how gently Li Chengqian treated his rebellious brother, I feel sad.

Li Tai felt even more guilty, and this guilt was like a vine, constantly entwining and growing in his heart.

Tonight was also a sleepless night. Li Tai tossed and turned in bed, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Finally, he simply stood up and lit the candlestick, and the dim candlelight swayed in the darkness.

He took out a book that he had read halfway during the day, sat down at the table, and began to study it carefully, trying to immerse himself in the world of books and forget his troubles.

The door of the Wude Hall slowly opened, making some noises. The sound was particularly clear in the silent night.

Li Tai heard the sound and looked up, but there was only one candlestick lit in the huge Wude Hall, and it was pitch black in front.

He could only vaguely feel that someone had come in, but it was already so late, even the eunuchs and palace maids had gone to bed, who else would come to see him?

Li Tai immediately had the answer in his mind. Either his royal brother was finally going to kill him and sent someone to end his life tonight.

But he felt that Li Chengqian would not do that. If he really wanted to kill him, he could just turn him into a commoner and exile him to another place.

There are ten thousand ways to die on the road.

It won't be criticized.

There was no need to kill myself in Wude Hall and make others suspicious. Then there was only one possibility.

My royal brother just came to see me.

"Royal brother, is that you?"

Li Tai spoke uncertainly, his voice echoing in the empty hall with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

Li Shimin looked at Qingque in the darkness, who had become much thinner in the candlelight. Her once round face had now become angular, and her eyes were full of heartache.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of pity still arose in his heart. This was also his son.

Even if you make a big mistake, the blood ties that are thicker than water cannot be easily severed.

Li Chengqian seemed to sense the complex emotions of Li Shimin beside him. He gently and considerately put his arm around Li Shimin's shoulders, as if offering silent comfort.

"I have brought my general to see you."

Li Chengqian's words came from the darkness, his voice steady and calm, breaking the brief silence.

He stood in the dark, and with the dim candlelight, he could see Li Tai's every move, but Li Tai could only stare blankly into the darkness.

"General?"

Li Tai was somewhat confused. He quickly searched for information about the general of the Tang Dynasty in his mind, and his brows unconsciously frowned.

Does the Tang Dynasty have a general?

Why do I have no impression of him? Who is this general?

Why did he come to see me with my royal brother so late at night?

"My royal brother, are you here so late at night to visit a sinner like me?" Li Tai lowered his head slightly, his expression somewhat gloomy.

"I really don't deserve your royal brother's consideration." He said self-deprecatingly, his words full of bitterness.

"Qingque, it's not that I want to come and see you. I'm just annoyed when I see you, okay? Don't think too much."

Li Chengqian deliberately said it in a cold tone, but people who knew him well could hear the sarcasm in it.

"It's my general who wants to come and see you."

"But you've lost a lot of weight now, and you look much better than before."

Li Chengqian followed up with another joke.

Li Tai became even more confused. Which general in the Tang Dynasty could be so prestigious?

If someone wants to come and see me, a sinner, late at night, can he even drag his royal brother along?

I have always been on good terms with some civil officials, and we often discuss poetry and essays together, but I am not familiar with the military generals in the court?
