Tang Dynasty: Father, if you don't rebel, I will!

Upon hearing this, Hou Qianya immediately became nervous.

Sun Simiao nodded and immediately began instructing people to prepare and decoct the medicine.

"Let's go outside and wait. The flu is quite contagious, and it would be troublesome if you caught it too..."

Li Chengqian led Hou Qianya and Qian Yingying, both of whom looked worried, out of the ward.

Seeing that the other party still looked nervous, and that there were two dukes lying in the ward, one of whom was his future father-in-law, Li Chengqian could only pull the other party to sit on a chair to the side.

"The current situation of the Duke of Lu is much better than that of the Duke of Yi."

"The new drug is called penicillin. It is prepared for inflammation, which is what we call the invasion of pathogenic toxins into the body. Although it has not been used on humans yet, it has been tested on some animals."

"Be cautious. After the skin test, if there is no allergic reaction, start injecting the medication from the lowest dose. Once the inflammation is relieved and controlled, then Dr. Sun and his team can combine it with herbal medicine and acupuncture."

"There is a high chance of saving him."

"The Duke of Yi will be fine, and your father will be fine too. I assure you!"

Li Chengqian spoke solemnly, which made Hou Qianya nod slightly. Then she carefully glanced at Qian Yingying, who was sitting on the other side of Li Chengqian.

She slowly leaned against Li Chengqian's shoulder.

"Your Highness, I don't blame you. My father was insatiable, and the fact that Your Highness still trusts him is already a great blessing for me and the Duke of Lu's mansion. Everything is predestined."

Li Chengqian didn't speak, but gently pulled both beauties into his arms.

I glanced at the door of the ward next to me.

Listen to the sounds of Sun Simiao, Berens, and the others treating and saving lives inside.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Who could have imagined that the experience of sitting in a hospital corridor waiting for news in his previous life would be repeated in this Tang Dynasty?

The three remained silent, huddled together, just as the eunuch Wang De rushed over.

He hesitated when he approached Li Chengqian, but after receiving a look from Li Chengqian, he lowered his voice.

Report in a low voice.

"Your Highness, the thief has been imprisoned in the Northern Garrison Office, under the personal supervision of Commander Qian."

Li Chengqian nodded, then sighed again.

"I probably won't be able to return to Yangcheng Palace tonight. Go back and tell my mother and my younger siblings to get some rest and not to worry about things here. I'll be keeping an eye on everything here, so everything will be fine."

Wang De immediately looked troubled.

I looked around the medical school.

"Your Highness, there isn't a decent place to rest here, and there are quite a few patients here. How could we possibly offend you?"

Li Chengqian glared at him.

"If I were to meet such an end, it would be a debt owed to the Li Tang dynasty. How much has the Duke of Yi sacrificed for the country and the emperor? And how much has the Duke of Lu fought for me on the battlefield?"

"Now that both of them are bedridden and their lives hang in the balance, how can I possibly have the face to return to Yangcheng Palace and sleep on that bed?"

"Just go back and report when I tell you to. Why are you being so indecisive? Do you want to go back to Chang'an?"

Wang De hurriedly shook his head.

Seeing the Crown Prince's resolute stance, besides feeling moved, he couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment towards his former master.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, where is the wise and powerful King of Qin who could distinguish right from wrong?

What happened to the General Tian Ce who remained calm and composed in the face of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's massive armies?

How could they do such an absurd thing in just over a year?

"Hey......"

Wang De left, but before leaving, he was still worried and asked someone to call Gao Hai and Sun Yi over.

He served His Highness the Crown Prince from the side.

The Northern Garrison Command Office and the Imperial Prison.

The place where Li Shimin was imprisoned was not so messy; it was a simple study with tea provided.

When Empress Zhangsun arrived here, led by Qianlou.

Looking at Li Shimin, who was still wearing a mask, despite his obvious dejected and self-reproachful appearance, I could see that he was still wearing a mask.

I was still furious.

"Your Majesty spent the whole night investigating your son's arsenal; did you find anything?"

"Guanyinbi? You, you've come!" Li Shimin looked up with great joy.

"How is Uncle Bao? Is he alright?"

"It was my recklessness and overconfidence that led me astray. I am sorry, he..."

"Alright, Your Majesty..." Empress Zhangsun shook her head.

"The Duke of Yi's condition is worrying. The reunion banquet that Chengqian had prepared has now been forced to be canceled. He is currently overseeing things at the medical school. If the Duke of Yi were to unfortunately pass away this time, Your Majesty, how would you face the Duke of Lu, the Duke of E, and the other generals of the Prince of Qin's Mansion?"

"How can the Li Tang royal family face the widow and descendants of the Duke of Yi's family?"

"Your Majesty should stay here and reflect on your actions!"

Li Shimin: "......"

Empress Zhangsun originally thought she could remain calm and composed, but when she actually saw her husband, she inevitably lost her composure.

With that, he turned to leave.

"Wait, Guanyinbi, I haven't eaten yet. Why don't you have someone prepare some food for me...?"

The words are not finished yet.

Empress Zhangsun, who was about to leave, was immediately enraged again.

The curses, delivered in a Chang'an accent, came out without warning.

"Eat, eat, eat! Eat 47!"

Li Shimin, wearing a mask: "..."

Watching his empress storm off from the prison without looking back, Li Shimin stood there for a long time, but in the end, he could only let out a long sigh.

Looking at the moonlight shining through the prison window.

He secretly prayed that his old friend Qin Qiong could overcome this difficulty, and that his own Crown Prince Chengqian could rescue the person.

"Father, oh Father, I'd rather just stay in Chang'an...sigh."

at the same time.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace, inside the Hall of Martial Virtue.

"Hehe, eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll have someone make more... Hey you, make me another serving of these dishes!"

Li Yuan's mood today can be described as turning around after a period of despair.

The retired emperor, who had lost all power for more than a year, was suddenly left in Chang'an to oversee the country.

The emperor and empress, along with their entourage, went to Bingzhou for a family reunion.

He had thought that on this day of family reunion, when the world was at peace and every household could be together, only he, the founding emperor, was all alone, lonely and miserable.

Unexpectedly, I was able to see these imperial grandsons before me today, whom I thought I would never see again in this lifetime.

He smiled and nodded at Changsun Wuji, who was standing to the side.

"Changsun Wuji, please convey my gratitude to Guanyinbi. With such magnanimity, there is no one in the world more suitable for the position of Empress!"

Changsun Wuji nodded with a smile, said nothing more, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and walked out of the Wude Hall.

And this moment.

Outside the Wude Hall, guards stood at attention.

One by one, the eunuchs sat at their posts.

In the shadows, a group of Imperial Guards stood beneath the eaves surrounding the Hall of Martial Virtue, their expressions icy cold...

Changsun Wuji bowed and walked out.

Throughout the entire Wude Hall, even the palace maids and eunuchs almost all retreated.

As several more dishes were served, Li Yuan watched his grandsons wolfing down their food with a broad smile.

"Come, Chengdao, Chengde, eat more, try this roasted duck leg, it's my favorite..."

"That soup is also quite good. Here, let me serve it to you myself..."

The five sons of the Crown Prince, Prince Anlu Li Chengdao, Prince Hedong Li Chengde, Prince Wu'an Li Chengxun, Prince Runan Li Chengming, and Prince Julu Li Chengyi, sat to one side.

On the other side, there were the five sons of Prince Qi, Li Yuanji: Prince Liang, Li Chengye; Prince Yuyang, Li Chengluan; Prince Puan, Li Chengjiang; Prince Jiangxia, Li Chengyu; and Prince Yiyang, Li Chengdu.

The ten royal offspring, who should have been eliminated long ago, were now devouring the food.

Dressed in ordinary clothes, they completely lost all semblance of decorum upon seeing the delicious food on the table.

It's like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Li Yuan sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of self-reproach.

If I had directly designated the position of Crown Prince to the Prince of Qin back then, these imperial grandsons would probably not have been removed from the imperial family genealogy.

"Eat more, no rush. Here, Chengdao, Grandpa has served you some."

Li Yuan handed a bowl of delicious crucian carp soup to Li Chengdao, the Prince of Anlu, who was currently devouring a braised pig's trotter, his eyes filled with heartache.

They're all my grandsons...

Seeing his grandsons alive and well, and their current miserable state, Li Yuan, the grandfather, couldn't help but start to ponder.

They will definitely not be able to return to the family genealogy in the future, but can we find a way to make their lives better?

At least by living in anonymity, one can still enjoy a life of wealth and prosperity among the common people...

Given Chengqian's arrogant nature, if we were to reason with him properly, he probably wouldn't bother targeting his cousins.

After all, his current status in the Tang Dynasty is unshakeable.

Just at this time.

Li Chengde, the third son of Li Jiancheng and the Prince of Hedong, swallowed his food and saw that there was no one else in the hall except for them.

Suddenly, he stood up and knelt down in front of Li Yuan with a thud.

He grabbed Li Yuan's thighs with both hands.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

"Grandpa Emperor, please save us! Please save us! We never want to live like those lowly commoners again. We can't even get enough to eat! Waaah!"

"Grandpa Emperor, are you back in power now? You must save us!"

aside.

Finally regaining his senses, Prince Anlu, Li Chengdao, also threw away the roasted duck leg in his hand.

He grabbed Li Yuan's leg.

A mournful yet hateful wail suddenly echoed through the Wude Hall.

"Grandfather, you must avenge our father! They... they died so tragically!"

"Grandfather, kill Li Shimin! Kill Li Chengqian! They are both treacherous traitors who plotted to usurp the throne! They..."

The wailing of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's ten sons mingled together, causing Li Yuan's previously kind smile to freeze on his face for the first time.

Especially when he saw these imperial grandsons, each of them with faces full of hatred.

They looked like they were shouting for war.

The slight stirring in my heart, brought together by kinship and blood ties, was now being rekindled.

Suddenly, it was as if the pulse was gradually stopping.

Li Yuan remained silent for a long time.

"You're saying I should kill your second uncle, and then kill Chengqian?"

"After those two die, have you ever thought about what will happen to our Great Tang Dynasty?"
