Eastern Palace, Crown Prince's bedroom.
When Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun arrived, the imperial physician had already treated Li Chengqian's wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it.
Li Chengqian's face was pale, and there was sweat on his forehead. It seemed that he had been frightened quite badly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty and Empress, the Crown Prince's wounds have been treated. Fortunately, his bones and muscles were not injured by the arrow, but he has lost a little too much blood. I'm afraid he will be weaker in two to three months.”The imperial physician reported the diagnosis to the two of them.
When Empress Zhangsun heard the imperial physician's words and saw that Li Chengqian was not missing an arm or a leg, she finally calmed down.
Li Shi Min still looked indifferent, as if he couldn't wait to see Li Chengqian break his leg.
Beside Li Chengqian's bed stood a slightly short and fat youth and a beautiful girl with skin as white as snow and bright eyes. They were Li Tai, who was conferred the title of King Yue, and Princess Changle, Li Lizhi.
At this time, Li Tai and Li Chengqian had not yet become enemies because of the fight for the throne.
As his brother, Li Tai knew that Li Chengqian was injured, so he had to come over and take a look.
As for Princess Chang Le, she was genuinely concerned about her elder brother. When she heard that something had happened to Li Chengqian, she immediately rushed over with the imperial physician.
"Greetings, Imperial Father, Imperial Mother!"
Li Tai and Li Lizhi bowed to Li Shimin and his wife.
Li Shiming waved his hand and said with a hint of comfort," Green Sparrow, Lizhi, you two are so thoughtful.”
After the Black Tortoise Sect incident, Li Shiming's attitude towards his siblings had become complicated.
Li Tai and Li Lizhi came to visit Li Chengqian at the first possible moment. He felt that it was very good.
Li Chengqian was still in a daze and did not greet Li Shiming and his wife.
Li Shimin was already a little angry, and when he saw him like this, he became even more dissatisfied.
"Li Chengqian, you're really outrageous! He had already been conferred the title of Crown Prince, yet he was still so mischievous?”
Li Chengqian came back to his senses and looked at Li Shiming. He said with a sobbing tone," Father, someone wanted to kill me…I almost died!”
Li Shi Min's anger was greatly reduced when he heard this.
Yes, although Li Chengqian is not decent, he is still my son. Who wants to kill him?
Who dared to kill him?
Li Shi Min took a deep breath, his cold gaze sweeping across Li Tai.
Li Tai was stunned at first, then he explained in fear," Father, I've been practicing calligraphy in the mansion today!”
Obviously, the intelligent Li Tai had guessed that his father suspected him of sending someone to assassinate the Crown Prince.
It was no wonder that Li Shiming would think so. After all, that was how he got the throne…
Li Shi Min was only slightly suspicious of Li Tai, but on second thought, he felt that it couldn't be Li Tai. This kid was still young, and he shouldn't have made a move at this time!
Thinking of this, Li Shi Min couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He felt that he had been too petty.
"I didn't ask you anything!" Li Shimin was a little embarrassed and he quickly changed the topic." I heard that Feng Xiaoyue, the Eastern Palace's Thousand Bull Guard, is still alive. Tell him to come here and answer me!"”
Soon, a guard brought Feng Xiaoyue, who was also injured by an arrow, to Li Shimin.
"This subject greets Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
Feng Xiaoyue endured the pain and bowed to Li Shimin.
According to common sense, Tang officials did not need to kneel before the emperor, but Feng Xiaoyue felt that he had committed a serious crime by injuring the crown prince, so he asked himself to be treated as a criminal.
Li Shi Min looked coldly at Feng Xiao Yue and said in a deep voice," Feng Xiao Yue, on account of you carrying the Crown Prince back, I will spare your life for now." However, if you dare to let the Crown Prince mess around in the future, I will skin you alive!”
These words were harsh, but in fact, they had already removed the responsibility of Feng Xiaoyue's dereliction of duty.
The Crown Prince's injury was indeed the Thousand Bull Guards 'responsibility.
However, Feng Xiaoyue was able to carry Li Chengqian back, which was considered to offset his merits.
"I know my mistake. Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!”Feng Xiaoyue's face was full of tears. He was ready to lose his head, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to let him continue to be a thousand oxen. This was really a great grace.
"Tell me, where did those assassins come from?”Li Shi Min waved his hand and asked indifferently.
"Your Majesty, the assassin used a military-grade heavy crossbow, and he is proficient in the art of war. He should be a soldier!”" Oh right," Feng Xiaoyue said." The leading assassin is a petite woman with extremely high martial arts skills!”
"Soldiers? A woman with strong martial arts?" Li Shi Min fell into deep thought when he heard these two seemingly unrelated clues.
The Tang Empire was open-minded, and it was not unusual for women to join the army.
Li Shimin's sister, Princess Ping Yang, was a heroine. When Li Yuan, the great ancestor, conquered the world, Princess Ping Yang also led thousands of troops to help the Li family establish the empire. Her talent and courage were not inferior to her brothers.
Li Shiming thought for a while but couldn't come to a conclusion. He asked again," Did you encounter any strange situation after you left the palace today? Why were you targeted as soon as you left the city?"”
Feng Xiaoyue wanted to say that he didn't encounter anything strange, but he suddenly remembered Li Chengqian's fortune-telling experience in Xi City. He suddenly felt cold sweat all over his body.
"Your…Your Majesty, before the Crown Prince and the guilty minister left the city, they did encounter a strange thing…There was a young Taoist priest in Xi City who personally told the Crown Prince that he would have a bloody disaster today!”
......
After checking the information, the princes of the Tang Dynasty seemed to address the emperor as " saint "," master "," everyone ", and " Your Majesty ". Thinking about it, he decided to use the cliché " father ". It might not be accurate, but it was comfortable to see.
......
To put it bluntly, the plot design of my book is really good. I'm also very passionate about writing now. Then, can everyone's voting be a little more passionate? It wasn't awesome at all…
