Tang Dynasty: I, Li Tai, can cultivate immortality

"Oh, never mind, let's take a long-term view……"

Changsun Wuji simply gave up his plan to enter the palace and went back home.

Since the matter was done, he could not save Li Chengqian even if he entered the palace at this time.

Changsun Wuji knew Li Shimin's personality very well. Once this happened, Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince would definitely not be preserved. Even if the crown prince would not be deposed in a short period of time, once Li Shimin confirmed the new heir, he would definitely find a reason to depose Li Chengqian.

In other words, Changsun Wuji had already given up on Li Chengqian.

……

In the palace, Li Shimin sat in the study for a long time, until the sun sank below the horizon, Li Shimin called Wang De

"Wang De, has the fourth prince returned to the palace?"

The first thing Li Shimin asked was about Li Tai's whereabouts. Although he had been angry with Li Chengqian before, he also cared about what Li Tai had done today.

"I just saw the Fourth Prince passing by the gate of Taiji Palace. I think he must have gone back."Wang De replied truthfully.

"Let's go to Qingque... um... forget it, let's go to the Queen."

Li Shimin initially planned to go directly to Li Tai, but gave up after thinking for a few seconds.

He knew Li Tai's personality. He would never go to Zuowuwei to play with the military power by faking the imperial edict. He was probably just going there on a whim to get into trouble.

On the way, Li Shimin called the secret guard and asked Li Tai about his movements today.

The secret guard took out the record book and repeated everything Li Tai did today.

"Oh? Are you saying that Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, and Du He went to compete with the soldiers of Zuo Wuwei today? And they are so powerful?"

Li Shimin couldn't believe his ears for a moment. A few kids with an average age of less than ten years old beat the soldiers of Zuo Wuwei? Qin Huaiyu even fought Cheng Yaojin to a draw!

""Could it be the power brought by cultivating immortals?"

Li Shimin muttered to himself.

All along, Li Shimin subconsciously ignored the fact that cultivating immortals would bring extraordinary power. He only cared about the life span brought by cultivating immortals. Only longevity was the aspect that the emperor paid the most attention to.

"Looks like I have to talk to Qingque and Cheng Yaojin tomorrow.……"

At this moment, Li Shimin selectively ignored the fact that Li Tai had falsely conveyed the imperial edict. In his opinion, those kids just wanted to test their own strength, which was not a big deal.

If Li Chengqian knew that Li Shimin treated them so differently, he would want to bang his head against the wall and die...

Finally, Li Shimin, with a head full of thoughts, came to the queen's bedroom. He finally recalled the mess that Li Chengqian had done today. Li Shimin was considering how to explain Li Chengqian to the queen.

After all, Li Shimin is now ready to depose the prince at any time.

Wang De stopped at the palace gate and watched Li Shimin enter the queen's bedroom.

In the room, Empress Zhangsun once again saw at a glance that Li Shimin was in a bad mood.

""Your Majesty, what's bothering you?"

Empress Changsun asked gently. She was always a warm harbor for Li Shimin and could help him relieve his worries.

"Hey, Guanyin, today……"

Li Shimin first told Empress Changsun about Li Tai's affairs. He chose to put the most complicated matter last.

"Qingque is just naughty. Your Majesty, please don't blame him. Just teach him a lesson."

Li Tai was Empress Changsun's biological son after all. She just blamed him a little and even advised Li Shimin not to take it to heart.

"Don't worry, Guanyinbi, this is not a big deal."

Li Shimin replied with a smile. He never blamed Li Tai. Even though he had been getting into trouble since he was a child, Li Tai always knew how to grasp the right degree. Li Tai never touched the principled issues.

"But, Guanyin, today is a good day……"

Li Shimin changed the subject and began to tentatively talk about Li Chengqian.

When talking about this matter, Li Shimin did not add his own views, but just told everything that happened today, and did not say how he handled it. He wanted to know the Queen's attitude, after all, Li Chengqian was the eldest son of Zhangsun Wugou.

Empress Zhangsun was so smart that after Li Shimin repeated Li Chengqian's original words, she understood Li Chengqian's intentions on the spot, and also knew that her husband hated this kind of thing the most.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Qian is no longer worthy of being the crown prince.

Empress Changsun was very decisive. Even though she was having a hard time suppressing her emotions, she gave Li Shimin the advice that was most suitable for the Tang Dynasty.

"Guanyin maid, you still understand me.……"

Li Shimin hugged Empress Changsun with relief, and expressed his thoughts bit by bit.

When Li Shimin said that he was going to abolish Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince in the future, he suddenly found that the person in his arms was shaking violently and gasping for breath.

"Guanyinbi? Guanyinbi? What’s wrong with you?"

"Not good! Wang De, quickly call the imperial physician!"

Under the intense emotional fluctuations, Empress Changsun suddenly became out of breath and fainted, leaving only instinctive twitching and gasping.
