Zhenguan sixth year, eighth day of February…
A piece of news shocked the entire Chang 'an Fortress!
The Tang Emperor's daughter, Princess Changle, was about to get married!
When the news spread, it was no doubt a sensation throughout Chang 'an.
In this era where the world had just settled down and people were longing for peace, it was no different from a super big melon.
Tang Emperor Li Shimin naturally didn't need to say much. Although killing his brothers in front of Xuanwu Gate and forcing his father to abdicate was somewhat shameful, ever since Li Jing defeated the Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the world had recognized this emperor.
Moreover, the scandal of Princess Gao Yang cheating on Fang Yi 'ai had yet to spread, so the value of the Tang Princess was undoubtedly very high.
Princess Li Lizhi of Changle of the Tang Empire was even more famous. She was born beautiful and had inherited her mother's personality. She was gentle and reasonable. She was a rare match.
Her background, appearance, family background, and upbringing all stood at the peak of this era's women.
Ever since Princess Chang Le had grown up, she had become the target of countless officials and nobles.
The onlookers in Chang 'an City were guessing who the princess of Changle would marry and who would marry her.
Was it Zhangsun Chong, the son of Zhangsun Wuji, the prime minister of the Great Tang, or the son of Du Duan?
In short, in such an era, it was undoubtedly a topic of conversation for the onlookers in Chang 'an.
……
"Your Majesty, how can the daughter of the royal family marry a farmer?”
In the Dew Hall, Zhangsun Wuji's face was filled with dissatisfaction.
Princess Changle had already been engaged to the eldest son of the Zhangsun Clan, Zhangsun Chong, since two years ago.
Although it had not been spread yet, it had already been agreed upon. Now that Li Shiming suddenly went back on his word, Zhangsun Wuji was naturally unwilling.
Li Er's expression was also a little bad. He looked at his brother-in-law and was silent for a while before saying,"Lizhi hasn't woken up since she fainted half a month ago!”
Since half a month later, Princess Chang Le had fallen into a coma due to the sudden change.
Other than being able to breathe and swallow normally, he had no other reactions. He could not even control his daily defecation and defecation. Empress Zhangsun took care of him for half a month without taking off her clothes, but he did not get better.
Li Shiming tried everything…
The imperial physicians were helpless after trying all kinds of herbal medicine, only saying that it was a case of amnesia.
Li Er and Empress Zhangsun prayed for it day and night, and asked eminent monks to perform a ritual to summon its soul, but it still had no effect.
In fact…
In ancient times, there was no accurate definition of a vegetable. They did not even know the difference between a coma and a vegetable.
Most people thought that it was a case of amnesia, and the treatment method was mainly to perform a god dance to summon the soul.
It was only after Sun Simiao named the vegetative state as stupor that people started to differentiate between vegetative state and coma.
Stupid…as the name suggested, it was like a wooden zombie…
Other than being able to breathe and swallow, it could not react to the outside world.
Even so, people still lacked effective means to deal with vegetative people.
Other than the daily feeding of water, food, and urine, most of the patients were allowed to lie on the bed.
In the end, most vegetative patients would face the end of their lives due to various complications such as muscle wasting and back sores.
Lizhi…hasn't gotten better?" Zhangsun Wuji paused for a moment, his mouth trembling slightly.
Although the engagement had already been set, Li Er could still be considered to have gone back on his word. However, Princess Chang Le was also Zhangsun Wuji's niece, so how could she not feel heartache?
" The imperial physicians and the eminent monk said that the chances are slim…"
When he accepted this fact, even a tough man like Li Shi Min couldn't help but tremble.
Changle was his favorite child. After the incident at Xuanwu Gate, Li Er valued family more. He doted on Princess Chang Le even more.
However, his daughter had an incurable disease and was unconscious. She actually wanted to leave him first.
"But Your Majesty…why did you let Changle…"
Zhangsun Wuji had wanted to ask Princess Chang Le why she still wanted to get married when she was already in such a state, but he suddenly thought of a possibility.
He looked at Li Er. As expected, Li Er nodded heavily.
"Happy!"
"I can only try my best!" Li Er said after a moment of silence.
"According to Yuan Tiangang's divination, this child's eight characters are the most suitable.”
" If it doesn't work out... Lizhi has a companion at least. She won't go alone..." Li Er's eyes were bitter.
Zhangsun Wuji was stunned.
How could Zhangsun Wuji not understand what Li Er was thinking?
Now, everyone was helpless against such an incurable disease.
Although it was said to be a joyous occasion, it was actually a burial.
And how long the boy whom he had never met could live depended on how long Princess Chang Le could live.
For a moment, Zhangsun Wuji felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
There was love for his niece, Li Lizhi, and also pity for the boy he had never met.
He was Li Shiming's brother-in-law, so this matter naturally couldn't fall on Zhangsun Chong.
