While the entire Tubo was in a purgatory of war, Chang 'an City of the Tang Empire was still singing and dancing.
In the Imperial Palace, in the Hall of Political Affairs.
This was the Empress's bedroom.
Zhangsun Wuji was standing at the entrance of the hall, pacing back and forth nervously.
He had come here today because he had something to ask his sister, the current Empress of the Great Tang, Zhangsun Wugou.
And this matter was of great importance. If Zhangsun Wuji did not figure it out, he would really be unable to sleep and eat in peace.
In a short while.
A charming figure slowly walked out from inside.
"Big brother, why did you come to visit little sister today? Come in and sit."
Zhangsun Wugou said with a smile.
After all, it was someone from her maiden family who came to visit her, and it was her biological brother. Zhangsun Wugou was naturally extremely happy.
"Hahaha, sister, haven't I seen you for a long time? Today, after discussing state affairs with His Majesty in the Dew Hall, I saw that it was still early, so I specially came to visit you.”
After exchanging pleasantries with Zhangsun Wuji, the siblings walked into the Hall of Political Establishment.
"Where's Qian 'er?"
After entering the hall, Zhangsun Wuji looked around and pretended to ask casually.
The Qian 'er he was talking about was the eldest son of Zhangsun Wugou and Li Er, the current Crown Prince, Li Chengqian!
Speaking of this Li Chengqian, that was really hard to explain in a few words.
He was born short, thick, black, and fat. He did not inherit Zhangsun Wugou's peerless beauty at all. Similarly, he did not inherit Li Erxiong's submissive character. He was not good at studying and liked to take advantage of others.
But even so.
Li Er and Zhangsun Wugou still treated him as their flesh and blood.
Even after the Black Tortoise Sect incident, Li Er directly made Li Chengqian the Crown Prince!
It could be seen how much the husband and wife loved their eldest son.
Other than that.
Zhangsun Wuji was also doing his best to support Li Chengqian.
His goal was not that simple.
What he fancied was Li Chengqian's cowardice and incompetence.
In this way, after Li Er passed away, he could easily control this new generation of the emperor and make the Zhangsun Clan invincible.
"Sigh! This child was not doing his job all day long, and he did not know where he had gone to play.”
Zhangsun Wugou sighed and said helplessly.
"It's like this…"
Zhangsun Wuji nodded, not surprised at all.
After all, this was Li Chengqian's daily life.
"Right, sister, I remember that when you gave birth to Qian 'er, our Great Tang had yet to unify the world, right?”
Zhangsun Wuji glanced at Zhangsun Wugou without batting an eyelid.
His seemingly casual words hid another layer of mystery.
Zhangsun Wugou had a pure heart and naturally did not notice anything. He only smiled and said,""Why is elder brother so muddle-headed? When Qian 'er was born, our Great Tang had only been established for a year.”
"Yes, yes, I remember now."
"I remember that year, His Majesty was ordered by the Retired Emperor to conquer Wuwei and did not return to court for two years. It was at that time that you gave birth to Qian 'er.”
Zhangsun Wuji pretended to be enlightened and continued to lead the conversation.
More than ten years ago.
The Great Tang had only been established for a year and was surrounded by powerful enemies.
At that time, the Great Tang was still relatively weak. They only had one trump card in their hands, and that was the Black Armor Army led by Li Er, the King of Qin!
Wuwei City in the northwest of Chang 'an did not obey the order, so Retired Emperor Li Yuan ordered the King of Qin Li Er to go to attack.
At that time, Zhangsun Wugou was Li Er's virtuous wife. No matter what, he was not at ease to let Li Er go alone to the expedition and insisted on going through life and death with him.
Li Er had no choice but to bring Zhangsun Wugou along to the northwest.
At that time, Zhangsun Wugou was pregnant, but she didn't know about it.
After arriving at Wuwei, Zhangsun Wugou finally had a pregnancy reaction.
Li Er had wanted to send Zhangsun Wugou back to Chang 'an, but the world was in chaos at that time and there were wars everywhere.
In order to ensure Zhangsun Wugou's safety, Li Er had no choice but to leave her in Wuzhang Plain City, which was a hundred miles east of Wuwei, and send guards to protect her.
Wuzhang Plains was within the Great Tang's sphere of influence, and it was inconvenient to stay in the military camp. Having Zhangsun Wugou wait for labor there was the best choice.
However, who would have thought…
Wuwei was unable to attack for a long time, and the mysterious armored soldiers led by Li Er suffered heavy casualties.
Not only that.
Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and other warlords took advantage of the emptiness of Chang 'an to attack.
As a result, the grain route from Chang 'an was completely cut off!
Li Er had no choice but to retreat.
However, the rebels in Wuwei City took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, causing Li Er to suffer a great defeat and even lose Wuzhang Plain City.
And at this moment, Zhangsun Wugou was about to give birth.
In the midst of the chaos, the guards fought their way out of Wuzhang Yuan City.
As for Zhangsun Wugou's personal maidservants, they were all pampered and spoiled, and very quickly became a burden during their escape.
In order to protect Zhangsun Wugou, they all chose to leave.
Protecting one woman was much easier than protecting a bunch of women.
Just like that.
The guards protected Zhangsun Wugou as they took refuge in a village farm.
Coincidentally, the daughter-in-law of this farmer family was also about to give birth.
On a rainy night.
Zhangsun Wugou and the farmer's daughter-in-law gave birth at the same time.
