The greatest emperor of all time? Even in modern times, he still has to work!

Li Shimin seemed to be telling Empress Changsun a funny story, talking about how Changsun Wugou was indifferent to him at the scenic spot today. He seemed to feel that the Changsun Wugou he met at the scenic spot today was a little restrained, as if it was the first time they met before getting married.

Empress Changsun did not respond when she heard this. Her voice of coaxing Sizi gradually became softer, and a hint of sadness flashed between her brows.

Sizi lay limply in Empress Changsun's arms, his eyes half-closed, and he was almost falling asleep, his little hands and feet kicking unconsciously.

Empress Changsun was distracted by the child in her arms and turned around and went into the bedroom holding Sizi.

Li Chengqian on the side was not very happy. He turned his head and met Li Shimin's unintentional gaze. Li Chengqian said that he wanted to talk to Li Shimin alone.

After hearing this, Li Shimin looked at it and left the Lizheng Hall with Li Chengqian.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Li Shimin dismissed the palace maids and said, "Chengqian, what do you want to say?"

"Father, do you see the difference between the two mothers?" Li Chengqian suddenly sat down casually, without paying attention to the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects.

Li Shimin turned to look at Li Chengqian. Every time this kid acted like this, he was planning to rebel.

"What are you going to say again?" Recently, my relationship with this kid has improved a lot. The relationship between the father and son even reached its peak when they met in the scenic spot today. How come he is like this again after coming back?

"Aye, answer me, have you seen the difference between the two mothers?" Li Chengqian persisted.

Seeing Li Chengqian's serious expression, Li Shimin also took it seriously.

"Your mother has always been gentle, dignified, and virtuous. I think she is the Guanyin maid of the scenic area. She is still young!"

"Are you still young? Father, do you remember that on the day of your rebellion at Xuanwu Gate, there were only my mother and I in the palace?" Li Chengqian couldn't turn a blind eye to his mother's suffering. Over the years, he had let go of the mother here, but not the other one.

"It's my mother, holding a sword, guarding my bed."

"All night long, there were flames and swords outside the house, and I only had my mother."

"I finally waited until dawn, and the news I received was that you wanted to make your brother's wife the imperial concubine..."

"My uncle only wants fame and power. He doesn't care about his sister's grievances. As for you, when you first ascended the throne, you only wanted to clear your name in front of the people of the world and appease Concubine Yang, whose husband and son you killed!"

"My mother was depressed, she could only tell me..."

Li Chengqian was young at that time, but he still remembered his mother crying that night, and her crying was heartbreaking.

The image of young Zhangsun Wugou emerged in Li Shimin's mind. She was a dignified and virtuous queen, who used to be a bright and willful girl.

"I made her my queen and have loved her with all my heart for many years..."

"Yes, love and respect means that your mother gives birth to one child after another, and you have three thousand beauties in your harem! My mother gives birth to one child after another, and you say that is love, but your mother is in great pain every time she is pregnant. She is not in good health to begin with, but she still gives birth to children one by one because of the love you said..."

"Father, didn't the imperial physician tell me that my mother's health is not suitable for bearing children? Ah? Didn't the imperial physician tell me that my mother's health is getting worse?"

"They said it, they said it many times!"

Li Chengqian almost screamed. If he didn't get the chance to go to the afterlife, his mother would die, he would be abandoned, and his brothers and sisters would die young one by one...

"She is the queen!!" Li Shimin always thought that he and Guanyinbi were a young couple who shared weal and woe and had a deep spy relationship. They loved each other, supported each other, and understood each other. How could the situation that Li Chengqian described happen?

He made Guanyinbi the queen, and he never let Guanyinbi down!

"Yes, my mother is the queen because her last name is Changsun, and she is your legitimate wife!!"

"You are talking nonsense."

"Chengqian!"

At this time, Empress Changsun rushed into the hall in a panic, holding up her skirt, and quickly stood between the father and son who were confronting each other.

"Erlang!"

"Guanyin, have you ever hated me?" When Li Shimin saw Empress Changsun coming, he suddenly saw a life-saving straw. He immediately grabbed Empress Changsun's hand and asked anxiously.

Empress Changsun was stunned, and Cheng Qian behind her gently grabbed his mother's hand.

"Mother, I'm here."

Empress Changsun's hands were held by the men on both sides, one asking for answers to the questions and the other supporting her.

The wind was not strong at night, so Empress Changsun no longer felt cold.

Cheng Qian grew up and became A Niang's supporter.

"Your Majesty, I envy Changsun Wugou from another time and space because she had an opportunity and the ability to make a living. She will not experience the pain of her husband marrying his brother's wife. Don't you think so?"

Li Shimin's pupils suddenly shrank. He could not deny that if it was in another time and space, only Guanyinbi could go to work in the future. She would have the initiative there because the value she brought was infinite. She was needed by the Tang Dynasty and was more important than the current Guanyinbi.

Therefore, another Li Shimin would consider her feelings and take her mood into consideration...

"Guanyin maid...I..."

"Your Majesty, go to bed early. You still have to work tomorrow. I will take Chengqian away first." Empress Changsun pulled her hand away resolutely, took Li Chengqian's hand and turned to walk out of the Qinzheng Hall. Her clothes fluttered, leaving only a faint bitter smell of medicine.

Empress Changsun still takes medicine every day.

Outside the palace, the moon is high in the sky, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

"Mother, I'm sorry." Li Chengqian said sullenly.

Empress Changsun turned around and smiled gently: "Why should Chengqian say sorry? Today, you gave me courage and confidence."

"Before today, I seemed to have forgotten the suffering my mother had endured." Today, when he saw another mother rejecting his father at the scenic spot, he remembered his mother's tears when he was young.

Empress Chang Sun raised her hand and gently touched Li Chengqian's face. The child had grown taller and she could hardly touch his head.

"Cheng Qian, you are my mother's child, but children are not meant to remember their mother's suffering. You are growing up well, fulfilling your ambitions, and growing into a good child with compassion, empathy, ambition, perseverance, and ability. My mother is very pleased and happy."

"Auntie..."

Tears welled up in Li Chengqian's eyes as he hugged Empress Changsun's frail body, the faint bitter smell of medicine lingering in his nose.

How can there be any medicine that is fragrant and sweet?

"My mother is here."

Empress Changsun patted Li Chengqian's back gently.

The tall Li Chengqian had thick shoulders and was tall and strong enough to protect him from wind and rain.

Daqin, the 27th year of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

Xi came back from the scenic spot, distributed today's employee benefits to his family, and talked about his plan to go to Xianyang.

Xi's family was silent for a while, but no one objected. His wife got up to help him pack his luggage, and the three children put back the snacks they had just received, saying that they would give them to their father on the way.

Xi was deeply moved and left all his things behind. He then set off that night.

According to the plan, Xi intended to go find General Xiaomeng first. If he traveled overnight, he should be able to reach the place where General Xiaomeng was in charge of road construction tomorrow night.

The moon was high in the sky, and Xi drove the only donkey cart in the family, galloping all the way...
