After a whole night of tossing, Li Chengqian and Xinxin didn't close their eyes until dawn.

This end is safe and sound for the time being, but Empress Changsun's Lizheng Palace is not peaceful.

"This palace asked the two of you to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but why didn't you stay overnight in the East Palace? Could it be that you broke the rules and were kicked out?"

The two women knelt down with pale faces, and they really didn't know how to answer Changsun's question.

The two of them were indeed kicked out, but not because they violated the rules, but because they discovered certain conditions of the prince's body, and they were finally kicked out.

It's just that they dare not tell the truth in front of the prestigious Changsun family.

Changsun's heart was also filled with fire. Li Chengqian's health was not good in the first place, and the woman who was finally selected out of thousands of people did not succeed.Seeing the distressed faces of the two of them again, Changsun's tone naturally sank.

"What exactly is going on?"

The two women looked at each other, and they couldn't bear the pressure exerted by Mrs. Changsun.Under the cold sweat, one of them finally said: "Madam, it's not that we don't want to talk about it...it's just that this matter is too secretive, we...don't dare to say it."

The tangled expressions of the two gave Changsun a very bad feeling, and she said with a sullen face, "Speak, I forgive you for your innocence."

Then the woman opened her mouth in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, he... there... there is no response..."

Changsun was startled, and it took a long time for her to react. She looked at the two women with a dangerous look in her eyes.The two women were not stupid, tears came down immediately, and they kept crying to Changsun: "Madam, we did our best, we really did our best...but His Royal Highness... ..”

The crying voice changed its tune at the end, which made people tremble with fear.Changsun remained silent for a long time amidst such cries, and finally waved to the two of them, signaling them to back off.

When the two left the Lizheng Hall, Changsun couldn't hold on any longer and fell down on the stool.She really couldn't believe such a conclusion. She was obviously such a smart and sensible child, who seemed to be healthy and healthy yesterday, how could she look like this now?

Such a matter, in an ordinary feudal family, would be a major event where the sky would fall, not to mention that Li Chengqian was in the royal family. Once the dust settled, even if Li Shimin wanted to keep this son, he would not be able to stop Youyou's mouth.

Therefore, as soon as Li Shimin stepped into the Lizheng Hall, what he saw was the distraught eldest grandson.

"Guanyin servant girl, what's wrong with you?" Li Shimin asked without knowing why.

The Changsun family had been alone for too long, seeing Li Shimin was like grabbing a life-saving driftwood: "Your Majesty, please help Chengqian and our son."

Li Shimin looked at Changsun who was on the verge of losing control, and quickly comforted him softly: "Guanyin maid, calm down first, what's the matter? Don't worry, speak slowly..." Li Shimin said while patting Changsun's face back.

Under Li Shimin's comfort, Changsun calmed down little by little. After she told the whole story, Li Shimin also showed a embarrassed look.

"Which imperial physician has been taking care of Chengqian's illness all this time, I want to accuse him of dereliction of duty and dismiss him for investigation!" All along, he has ordered the imperial physician to treat Li Chengqian's illness with all his heart, but the more he heals, the worse it will be. How could this make Li Shimin not angry.

Once Li Chengqian's inhumaneness becomes a firm fact, how long can he hide it.Even if he could hide it for a while, but after Li Chengqian got married, would he be able to hide it from his wife?

Li Shimin didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He hurriedly summoned Imperial Physician Zhang to the East Palace, and asked him to diagnose and treat Li Chengqian in front of his face.Looking at the bewildered Li Chengqian on the bed, Li Shimin's heart ached.

The atmosphere in the prince's dormitory also became extraordinarily dignified because of Li Shimin's arrival.Doctor Zhang was treating Li Chengqian tremblingly. He was shocked to find that the young man who was supposed to be very angry actually didn't move at all.

God really played a big joke on him, he had already prescribed the right medicine for all the symptoms of Li Chengqian, but in exchange for this result.

Doctor Zhang has practiced medicine for many years, but he stumbled on the prince's illness.He tremblingly walked in front of Li Shimin, and knelt down in fear: "My humble minister is stupid, and I have owed the grace of God..."

Li Shimin stared at him for a long time, finally waved his hand, and granted his request to retire and return home.

Li Chengqian who was on the bed could hear every word of Imperial Physician Zhang very clearly. Compared with Li Shimin's severe injuries, this kind of development was within his expectations.Originally a sickly body, Li Chengqian didn't care about adding new injuries to the old wounds.

But Li Shimin didn't know what was going on in his mind. His Majesty the Emperor tried his best to suppress his negative emotions, and comforted the prince with a pleasant face.Looking at his obedient and sensible son, Li Shimin brushed his hand over the top of his hair, and for some reason, Li Shimin's face revealed a look of determination and sternness.

Inside the hall, everything was still calm, but outside the hall, Li Shimin restrained the last bit of warmth on his face, and there was no trace of warmth in the voice of ordering his attendants: "If anyone dares to spread the word about what happened in the East Palace today, they will be killed without mercy."

Li Shimin wanted to buy as much time and space as possible for Li Chengqian. The first thing he had to do was to block the source of news from the East Palace, and issued a death order to keep everyone in the East Palace from chewing their tongues.

At the same time, Li Shimin also put another matter on the agenda.

That was Li Chengqian's marriage.

In less than ten days after the incident in the East Palace, Li Shimin issued an imperial edict to choose a concubine for the prince.The prince's wife and concubine are as strict in hierarchy, and the prince's concubine is almost equivalent to the future queen, so the selection of the prince's concubine is also particularly eye-catching.

The outside world has always had a good reputation for Li Chengqian. Although the crown prince is ill, but after all, his status is noble, and there are an endless stream of women who come to Ying Zhen.

Zongzheng Siqing presented the list of newspapers to Li Shimin, and never thought that something would happen after the submission.

Li Shimin glanced roughly at the list, and then frowned: "Why don't you see the girls from the Cui, Lu, Li, and Zheng families?"

Minister Zongzhengsi was stunned, and said with sincerity and fear: "Return to Your Majesty, none of these families participated in the selection, saying that there is no woman of the right age in the family..."

The atmosphere in the main hall was very depressing. Even Zongzheng Siqing himself knew it was a lie when he said this, let alone Li Shimin.

"It's the other way around! What do you mean there are no girls of the right age who dare to play tricks in front of me!" Li Shimin's heart is like a bright mirror.Those aristocratic families didn't have women of the right age, and they obviously didn't want to marry the royal family, so they found an excuse.

"Don't think I don't know, the so-called aristocratic family has been in decline these years, and the marriage of the aristocratic women is their way to win people's hearts!" The anger in Li Shimin's words is obvious.Although the Shandong gentry still flaunt their family status, there is only an empty shelf left, but even so, Wumen Qiwang is still unwilling to marry their daughter to the royal family.

It is extremely hateful!

Li Shimin thought over and over again, but still couldn't swallow this breath. He hurriedly summoned Fang Xuanling into the palace, and covered his face with all his face, criticizing the aristocratic families headed by Cui, Lu, Li, and Zheng.

Rebuke them for being arrogant and self-important.Fang Xuanling listened silently at the bottom, he was ashamed to say that he was one of those people who were married to aristocratic families in Li Shimin's mouth for fame and fame, and now he can only be punished silently.

When Li Shimin said he was happy, he made up his mind.In front of Fang Xuanling, he called Gao Shilian, Wei Ting and others into the palace, and ordered them to formally revise the "Clan Records" to correct the atmosphere.

At this point, the matter came to an end for the time being. Since the five surnames Qiwang did not want his daughter to be a princess, and Li Shimin couldn't save face, he could only act as if nothing had happened and choose someone from the women from aristocratic families who participated in the selection.

The Shandong family was unwilling to send their daughter to the palace, so Li Shimin set his sights on the Guanlong area.As a descendant of the eldest grandson's family, the prince naturally prefers to find the princess in the Guanzhong Group.It's a pity that Li Shimin looked over from family to family, but he didn't find a suitable woman.

Jingzhao Wei's family is naturally the first to be excluded. The eldest grandson's family will never allow the crown prince and concubine to be a descendant of the Wei family, but the Taiyuan Wang family, which is comparable to Jingzhao Wei's family, does not have a daughter of the right age.In addition to the family background, there is also a difference between the concubine and the concubines.Li Shimin looked at the list several times over and over again, and finally selected a woman.

She is Su Huiru, the eldest daughter of Su Quan, the current secretary.

Although the family background of the Su family is not as good as that of the Wei family and the Wang family, Ke Sheng has a clean family background and is also a first-class scholarly family. In addition, Su Quan has been a secretary for many years and has always devoted himself to his duties. His daughter Su Huiru is also famous far and wide. .The most important thing is that Su's family background is not obvious, neither will it make the Shandong family feel threatened, nor will it make the Guanzhong Group object.The identity of the relatives of the Su family will be Li Chengqian's best support after he takes power.Just like the eldest grandson's family right now, they are deeply trusted by Li Shimin.

Because of these reasons, the big pie of the princess is about to fall into the hands of the Su family.Originally, everything came to fruition, and it was due to the great grace of the emperor that Su's parents and daughters were able to become the crown princess.Su Quan, as the fifth-rank secretary Cheng, has no reason and is not qualified to refuse.

No one expected that when everything was about to settle, an astonishing news came out from the East Palace, which almost made the entire Tang Dynasty tremble.

This news was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and finally spread to the East Palace, almost spreading out of Miyagi.That's right, the leaked news was blocked by Li Shimin's death order - Prince Chengqian was inhumane due to illness.
