Empress Zhangsun's Illness
The bright candlelight illuminated the interior of the Hall of Political Affairs. Large blocks of ice were placed in the hall, slightly removing the summer heat.
In the innermost part of the palace, the maids were fanning Empress Zhangsun on the jade bed.
Empress Zhangsun's face was haggard and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Although she was nearly forty years old, she was still graceful.
However, this illness tortured the queen who was the mother of the world and made her very dispirited. Even so, she still maintained the image of a holy queen.
"Guanyin maid, are you feeling better?”
After Li Shi Min finished dealing with the court affairs, he heard that the Empress was not feeling well and immediately came to visit.
"Your Majesty, I'm much better. After you finish handling the court affairs late at night, go and rest quickly.”
When Empress Zhangsun saw Li Shimin, she quickly got up and bowed.
"Don't get up. Lie down. You're not in good health. You must take good care of yourself.”
Li Shimin quickly stepped forward and held Empress Zhangsun tenderly.
When Empress Zhangsun saw Li Shimin come in person, her face revealed a look of joy.
However, Empress Zhangsun coughed from time to time, which made Li Shimin understand that Empress Zhangsun was seriously ill.
It was already the fourth year of Zhenguan. In history, Empress Zhangsun died of illness in the eighth year of Zhenguan.
In fact, Empress Zhangsun was already very unhealthy in the third year of Zhenguan. She only passed away in the eighth year of Zhenguan.
"You're sweating and coughing in such hot weather. It looks like you're seriously ill again.”
Li Shi Min frowned and asked seriously.
In front of this emperor, none of the servants dared to lie.
"I've already called the imperial physician, but the imperial physician still prescribed the same medicine.”
"The Empress 'body is cold, but also extremely hot. She can only fan herself for a while before covering herself with a quilt.”
The two servants beside him spoke, causing Li Shimin to hug Empress Zhangsun affectionately again.
Li Shiming had not been able to get the throne easily, and this virtuous wife had provided him with great help. Even though he had three thousand beauties in his harem, Li Shiming still loved this Empress.
"Empress, you've worked hard. Useless Imperial Physician, tomorrow zhen will kill them all.”
Li Shi Min shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This has nothing to do with the imperial physician.”
Empress Zhangsun leaned against Li Shimin's chest and persuaded.
"Your Majesty, Empress, Princess Chang Le requests an audience.”
A eunuch outside came in to report.
"Princess Chang Le?"
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. They did not understand why Princess Changle would come to the Political Hall so late at night.
"Pass!"
Li Shi Min was very fond of Princess Chang Le and immediately summoned her.
Dressed in palace robes, Princess Changle, who had a bright face and bright eyes, walked slowly into the inner hall under the moonlight.
Seeing that Li Shi Min was also in the hall, Princess Chang Le smiled and quickly greeted him,"Chang Le greets father and mother!”
"Please get up."
"Okay…cough cough, son, get up quickly.”
Li Shiming and Empress Zhangsun hurriedly asked Princess Changle to get up.
Hearing that Empress Zhangsun was still coughing, Princess Changle understood that her mother was very ill.
"Mother, are you seriously ill?"
Princess Changle walked to Empress Zhangsun's bed and held her hand.
"It's not a big deal. I just caught a cold.”
Empress Zhangsun said with a smile. She didn't want Princess Changle to worry.
However, how could Princess Chang Le not see her mother's illness? Her heart was in pain. Seeing her mother in such pain, Chang Le was about to cry.
"Changle, what brings you here so late at night?”
Li Shi Min looked at Princess Chang Le and asked with a smile.
Only then did Princess Chang Le recover from her grief and quickly said,""Imperial Father, I came across a Taoist temple in the forest when I was out of the palace today. It was very effective. The peaches of immortality in the Taoist temple can cure all diseases!”
Li Shi Min was slightly angry." You actually sneaked out again!"”
"Imperial Father, that's not the main point. The main point is that the immortal peaches in that Daoist temple can really cure all diseases!”
Princess Chang Le grabbed Li Shi Min's hand and said coquettishly.
Li Shi Min really loved this princess. Seeing this, how could he blame her?
"The Taoist temple is really effective. What's its name?”
Li Shimin was curious when he heard Princess Changle's explanation.
"Spirit Peak Temple!"
Princess Changle said confidently.
"I've never heard of Spirit Peak Temple. I think the incense offerings aren't that strong.”
Li Shi Min guessed.
"The incense offerings aren't important. What's important is that the peaches of immortality inside can really cure all diseases.”
Princess Changle finally realized that her father seemed to be missing the main point.
Seeing Princess Chang Le's reaction, Li Shiming knew that she must have been fooled by the Taoist in the Taoist temple. However, he smiled and didn't get angry.
"Since it's so effective," Li Shiming said,"then present it to your mother."”
Peaches of Immortality were rare, even in the Great Tang.
Therefore, if there were really heavenly peaches, it would be good for the Empress to eat them. This was what Li Shimin thought.
However, Chang Le was stunned. She couldn't bring the Peaches of Immortality out, so how could she have any?
