Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 872 Extra Story 2 The Death of Empress Changsun

On the night when Li Shimin appointed Princess Yifang to marry in Tubo, Li Xin couldn't bear it after much deliberation, put on his clothes and went straight to the palace.

Chen Youlan and Cui Yingying didn't know what kind of nerves he had, and they didn't know what he was going to say when he entered the palace. How could they sleep? It wasn't until he came back with a bruised nose and a swollen face that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and went forward to greet him with hot water and towels.

"Where are the children?" Li Xin took the towel to wipe his hands and face as he walked, and asked by the way.

Although the light was not very good, Cui Yingying had seen the injury on Li Xin's face a long time ago, and she couldn't help but said distressedly and angrily: "Where else can the children go? They are all asleep. It's you, a father, who doesn't let people worry about it." Heart! If you insist on going to the palace in the middle of the night, let Sister Youlan and I worry about you."

Chen Youlan also said: "That's right. What can't you talk about during the day? Who hit the wound on the face? It can't be His Majesty, right? What did you say? Made Your Majesty angry?"

Li Xin also knew that he was impulsive today, which made the two ladies really worried, so he hugged the two of them in his arms with a poignant smile, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't think about it. Your Majesty is my elder, he doesn't like me, It should be beaten a few times."

The three of them went to the master bedroom. Cui Yingying sighed, and was about to go back to her room, but was stopped by Li Xin with a smile.

"Sleep together today." Li Xin smiled and pushed the two wives into the room.

Cui Yingying blushed a little. In any case, the words "sleeping together" still make me a little shy when I think about them, and I can't get rid of the hot images in my mind.

However, Cui Yingying obviously thought too much. Li Xin is not that interested today, and he didn't sleep together for anything, he really just wanted to sleep together as a family.

The lights were turned off, and the three of them lay on the bed.

Chen Youlan couldn't help asking: "Master, why do you not want to see Princess Yifang marry away so much? Could it be you..." She is not stupid. Today, Her Majesty announced that Princess Yi Fang went to his relatives, Li Xin went straight to the palace to find Her Majesty, and he returned before he had a meal. There must be a connection between these two things.

Cui Yingying hugged Li Xin's arm, and although she didn't make a sound, she listened carefully.

Li Xin said with a wry smile: "What are you thinking? You have wronged me. I obviously entered the palace for you."

"For me?" Chen Youlan was puzzled.

Li Xin shook his head. Although Chen Youlan was smart, she was a little careless. Didn't she realize that her elder brother had special feelings for Princess Yifang? Last time when Li Xiaoxiao celebrated his birthday, when the two met for the first time, sparks sparked in their eyes! It was probably love at first sight.

So, he said it again.

Chen Youlan still doesn't quite believe that her eldest brother, who seems to never know how to understand in this life, actually likes Princess Yifang. Li Xin said casually: "If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself. Although he will definitely not admit it. I also asked Princess Yifang, and she admitted that she likes your brother, but your brother is like a log and refuses to reveal anything. She There is nothing wrong with a woman. So, no matter what happens to the two of them, it will definitely not work for Yifang to marry in a place like Tubo!"

He paused for a moment, then said slowly: "Besides, how could a little Tubo be able to blackmail Yangyang Tang? If he asks for a kiss, we have to send the woman there? Are you kidding me!"

Cui Yingying said: "However, you are against His Majesty like this, and you were beaten up by His Majesty. Nothing will happen in the future, right?"

After all, that is the supreme king.

Li Xin smiled and said, "It's all right." After finishing speaking, he was silent for a while, and sighed: "It would be great if the Empress Dowager is still here. I'll go directly to ask her, and she's better at persuading Your Majesty than me. You don't have to be like me today." So much effort."

Chen Youlan and Cui Yingying also sighed. When Empress Changsun was still alive, she cared for the two of them very much. If it wasn't for her back then, how could Cui Yingying set off with Qin Qiong to find Li Xin?

It's a pity that this respectable woman passed away due to illness a year ago.

Chen Youlan quietly wiped away her tears, and said: "The Empress is such a good person, how can she pass away without saying anything. It makes people feel unprepared, and it still makes me sad when I think about it now."

Li Xin hugged Chen Youlan a little tighter without explaining.

In fact, he had discussed with Sun Simiao about Empress Changsun's condition. Sun Simiao said that the empress's heart is not good, and her blood circulation ability is not good enough. Li Xin understood after listening: congenital heart disease.

Although congenital heart disease is generally present at birth, because children are relatively small in size and the burden on the heart is relatively small, sometimes the symptoms do not show up, and the onset will not occur until puberty or even adulthood. Empress Changsun is a typical case.

In addition, she has given birth to so many children for Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi. Pregnancy puts such a heavy burden on the heart, and Empress Changsun's fragile heart was overloaded, and it is difficult to estimate how much damage it caused during the period.

At that time, Li Xin also thought about repairing the heart of Empress Changsun, but finally gave up. Apart from knowing that there is a heart repair, he didn't know how to do it at all. Moreover, no matter how advanced Datang's technology is, it is impossible to create a set of extracorporeal circulation machines immediately.

Without cardiopulmonary bypass, cardiac surgery is simply not possible.

As a result, Empress Changsun died of illness day by day.

Very hopeless thing.

It was the first time for Li Xin to see such a dejected expression on the face of Li Shimin, the emperor of all ages. On the day of Empress Changsun's funeral, he and Li Xin sat in the hall, muttering regretfully and alone: ​​"I'm the only one left."

Li Xin was speechless for a moment, unable to speak at all. Because he also imagined the scene of Chen Youlan and Cui Yingying leaving him. At that time, he must feel as uncomfortable as Li Shimin.

Speaking of Empress Changsun made the atmosphere a little heavy.

Li Xin held Chen Youlan and Cui Yingying tightly in his arms, and said earnestly, "We must exercise well, eat well, and live a long life in the future, and then die happily together."

Chen Youlan and Cui Yingying didn't speak, but put their faces on Li Xin's chest, listening to his heartbeat and breathing.
