Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 46
Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace, this is Li Shimin's sleeping palace, he usually handles political affairs and summons his concubines to sleep in this palace.

The great eunuch Wang De was waiting in the hall at this time, Li Shimin went out of the city today to deal with Jieli Khan, he naturally couldn't accompany him as an eunuch, so he could only wait here.

Although he is only a eunuch, but as the emperor's close servant, the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty has a great relationship with him as the chief eunuch, Wang De can't help but feel worried.

It was past noon at this time, and it was supposed that the negotiations between the two countries should come to a conclusion.From time to time, Wang De arranged for his young eunuchs to go to the palace gate to inquire about news and wait for the return of the emperor.

"Boss, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is back!"

The little eunuch rushed in at this moment, panting.

Wang De felt happy. His Majesty's return safely meant that the worst situation did not arise in the negotiations between the two countries.

"Where are you?"

He quickly walked out the door and asked the little eunuch.

Without waiting for the little eunuch to reply, at this time there were court ladies and eunuchs knelt down outside the main hall, and everyone greeted the emperor in unison.

"So fast?"

Wang De murmured, and then hurried forward.

Li Shimin showed up at this time, and he was walking towards the Ganlu Hall with a young man in his arms.

Wang De was startled, the man in His Majesty's arms was covered in blood and looked quite scary.He had never seen anyone shed so much blood in his life.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty..."

Wang De hurriedly bowed down.

But Li Shimin ignored him at all, and ran to the bedroom with the young man in his arms.

"Wang De, quickly announce the imperial doctor!"

Soon Li Shimin's shouts came from the bedroom, Wang De hurriedly got up, and ordered his eunuchs to go and announce the Imperial Physician.

He walked tremblingly to the bedroom and took a look.

With just one look, Wang De was so frightened that he almost fainted.

Because the young man lying on the bed covered in blood turned out to be His Highness the King of Shu.

Wang De was stunned. Isn't His Royal Highness the King of Shu supposed to be in the land of Shu? Why did he come to Chang'an?

He didn't dare to ask questions, so he moved aside and ordered the maid to bring hot water and towels.

At this moment, Li Shimin was still concentrating on Li Ke on the bed. He lifted Li Ke's clothes from time to time to check his injuries.

"Your Majesty, let the old slave wipe the area around the wound for His Highness the King of Shu!"

Wang De took the hot towel from the palace maid and approached Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then nodded in a daze: "Yes, let's clean it up first, and then the imperial doctor will come to make a diagnosis and treatment."

But Li Shimin did not move away, but took the towel from Wang De and wiped it for Li Ke himself.

His expression was extremely focused, and his movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of affecting Li Ke's wound and causing infection.

The imperial doctor arrived quickly, and Li Shimin immediately ordered the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Li Ke quickly.

"It is imperative to treat His Royal Highness the King of Shu well. If you dare not do your best, I will kill you!"

Li Shimin's words were cold and coercive.

At this moment, Empress Changsun came in. She was Li Shimin's official wife and the direct sister of Sun Wuji, the head of the Guanlong Group.

Wang De stepped aside quickly.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter? Why are you so angry."

Empress Changsun obviously heard Li Shimin's prestige to the imperial doctor before.

"Don't worry about it, just step back!"

Li Shimin did not raise his head, but waved his hand behind him.

Wang De was behind him, seeing all this in his eyes.

He was curious in his heart, this His Majesty loves Empress Changsun very much, he would never despise Empress so much.

But today, how could...

Empress Changsun was startled, then frowned slightly, she was obviously sullen.

But the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all, and Empress Changsun bowed slightly and immediately resigned.

Immediately afterwards, another woman in palace costume hurried in.

This woman in palace costume has a slim figure and a beautiful face. She wears light makeup and wears a light pink dress, which has a simple and elegant style.

Wang De already recognized that this woman was Concubine Yang, who was also the biological mother of His Highness the King of Shu who was lying on the bed.

At this time, Concubine Yang was full of sadness, and trotted to the bedroom, and asked when she saw her face, "Your Majesty, what's the matter with Ke'er?"

At this time, Li Ke, who was lying on the bed, was being treated by the imperial doctor, and he was still in a coma.

The imperial doctor was taking off Li Ke's clothes at this time, revealing the wound still stained with blood.

The wounds were almost all over the body, and they were almost all large wounds that were deep enough to show the flesh. There were a few deep wounds, and blood was still flowing at this time.

Concubine Yang looked at the bed at this moment, and was stunned immediately.

She staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

Wang De hurried over to support her, but Li Shimin had already put his hands on her to stabilize her.

When Concubine Yang stood still, she was caressing her forehead at this moment, as if she had suffered a huge blow just now, causing her to lose her mind for a while.

"Ke'er, my Ke'er...you...you...what's the matter..."

Concubine Yang was already in tears at this time, she was weeping and wailing.

First she cried, then she cried, and in the end, she broke down in tears and just kept crying, which made people feel heartbroken.

Li Shimin supported Concubine Yang, and held her in his arms to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Ke'er will be fine!"

He comforted her gently, held Concubine Yang's hand again, patted the back of her hand, and persuaded her to relax.

But seeing her son was seriously injured and lying on the bed, how could Concubine Yang feel at ease?

"If... if there is something wrong with Ke'er, my concubine...how can I live!"

Concubine Yang wept and said, her words were sad and moving.

Li Shimin held her in his arms again, and patted her on the back to comfort her.

"Don't worry, no matter whether Ke'er is saved or not, I will definitely live up to your mother and son!"

These words were sonorous and powerful, and no one who heard them would doubt how serious Li Shimin said them.

Wang De sighed softly, it seems that Concubine Yang's life will be much easier in the future!
"Father, how is the discussion going today?"

At this time, a young man was walking towards the bedroom, and Wang De had already recognized that this person was the second prince Li Chengqian, the son of the current Holy Majesty.

As soon as Li Chengqian walked in, he looked at Li Ke who was lying on the bed. He was taken aback for a moment, obviously recognizing Li Ke.

But after glancing at Li Ke, he immediately turned to look at Li Shimin.

At this time, Li Shimin was staring at Li Ke, his brows furrowed, concentrating on his wounds.

"How's it going?"

Li Shimin finally spoke, but he was not talking to Li Chengqian, but to ask the imperial doctor about Li Ke's injury.

He didn't seem to notice Li Chengqian's arrival at all.

At this time, Wang De noticed Li Chengqian's displeasure, and he hurriedly came to Li Chengqian's side.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is concerned about His Highness King Shu's injury at this moment. Look... do you want the old slave to report?"

Wang De did it out of good intentions, so as to avoid embarrassment for Li Chengqian here.

But Li Chengqian did not accept his favor.

"No need, since the father is worried about the emperor's younger brother, then the king will resign!"

Li Chengqian looked ferocious, and his tone was indifferent, it sounded like he didn't care that the person lying on the bed was his imperial brother.

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and stormed out of the bedroom.

Watching Li Chengqian leave the bedroom, Wang De sighed faintly.
