Li Chengqian stood in the snow, looking straight into the house.
Look at the busy appearance of the palace people in the outer corridor.
Hearing the cries of pain coming from inside the house, Li Chengqian was extremely anxious. ??
But because Empress Changsun had given orders, he couldn't do anything and could only watch from here.
In fact, Queen Changsun was right. When a woman gives birth to a child, men are not allowed to participate, let alone watch.
Seeing Li Chengqian standing like a cypress, Empress Changsun couldn't bear it.
She waved her hand to call Xiao Chuzi and whispered a few words to him.
Little Chuzi nodded and then went to the study room.
When he came back, he already had a fur coat in his hand.
Putting the big coat on Li Chengqian, Xiao Chuzi whispered: "Your Highness, the Queen just spoke in anger."
"She didn't mean to blame you."
"And having a baby is not something that can end in a moment."
"You must be tired after traveling all the way, and it won't be good if you get sick standing in the snow."
"So, you'd better go back and rest for a while..."
Moreover, in the middle of the journey, he even galloped for more than a hundred miles, which even a hardened man couldn't bear.
What's more, what about the mortal Li Chengqian?
If you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that his body has begun to tremble slightly at this moment.
But Li Chengqian still shook his head firmly and said: "No, I will just stand here and watch."
"Your Highness..."
Little Chuzi still wanted to say something to persuade.
But Li Chengqian raised his hand and interrupted: "She can give birth to a child for me and walk through hell for me, and I just get caught in the snow and what?"
Li Chengqian was filled with guilt for Su Qingling.
It wasn't just because Li Chengqian didn't stay by his side when she needed him most, there were also other things.
Compare For example, in the beginning, Su Qingling was the marriage that Li Shimin pointed out for him.
The person he wanted to marry the most in his heart was not Su Qingling at all, but Lu Wanjie.
Su Qingling was not a fool. Of course she knew this, but she never said it.
She endured it silently, silently being the woman behind him.
Not only did she help him keep his home in order when he was leading troops on an expedition.
At the same time, the woman Li Chengqian regarded as his confidante was replaced by a sister.
It doesn't matter if it's Lu Wanjie, Yuan Yuan, or even Wuyou.
She never treated anyone harshly, and she never treated anyone poorly...
This is not what she should do, and it is not fair to her.
But she never complained about it.
When chatting with Li Chengqian, he always talks about happy things.
Li Chengqian could accept it with peace of mind at first.
After all, as his Li Chengqian's woman, she is destined to be together less and apart more often, and she is destined to hold up the sky by herself.
But slowly, Li Chengqian understood.
These are not things she should do, but what she owes her...
As time went on, the guilt in his heart became deeper.
To this day, he can no longer tell whether he is in love with her or because he feels too guilty for her.
Anyway, Su Qingling has become the most important part of his life.
"I promised her before."
"I will definitely be by her side when she gives birth."
Under the reflection of the candlelight, Li Chengqian's face was frighteningly pale.
But his words were extremely firm, and even the little Chuzi who still wanted to persuade didn't know how to speak.
He had no choice but to look at Queen Changsun for help.
Empress Changsun just sighed slightly and then secretly waved her hand to him.
Seeing this, Xiao Chuzi did not continue to persuade him, but he did not go away and stayed with Li Chengqian.
Little Chuzi is very attentive.
But this guy didn't notice that his master's body was trembling slightly.
Maybe he discovered it, but he just thought it was because the cold weather was too cold and Li Chengqian couldn't bear it.
But I'm afraid this guy hasn't thought about it.
What harsh environment has Li Chengqian not been to over the years?
He has been to the Northern Desert, he has been to the Northeast, and he has been to the Western Turks.
He has seen three feet of ice, and he has also seen a waist covered with snow.
Although Chang'an City is also in the north, the weather is much better than in these bitter cold places.
How could Li Chengqian not be able to withstand such a bit of cold?
In fact, if you open the front of his clothes, you can find that his inner lining has been soaked with blood.
A hundred miles away may be an understatement.
But for the current north, it is simply a journey that is enough to kill ordinary people.
Along the way, Li Chengqian didn't know how many horses he killed, let alone how many times he fell.
There is no good place in my body.
In order not to worry others, before returning to Chang'an City, he went to the military camp to find some clothes to wear.
Otherwise, at this moment, he might look no different from a beggar.
Under the erosion of the wind and snow, Li Chengqian suddenly felt that his vision went dark, and his shaky legs were about to fall down if they weakened.
Fortunately, the little Chuzi beside him had quick hands and eyes to support him.
Otherwise, he will definitely fall hard this time.
Looking at Li Chengqian's appearance, Xiao Chuzi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you'd better go back and rest for a while."

"I'm fine."
Li Chengqian smiled softly at him and said: "Help me up..."
"Your Highness..."
"do not talk……"
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up, subconsciously raising his hand to cover the wound on his leg.
But when he saw Empress Changsun looking over here, he quickly forced himself to put down his hands and continue to stand where he was.
Seeing this, what else can Xiao Chuzi say?
I can only continue to follow Li Chengqian and stand in the snow.
After an unknown amount of time, cheers finally came from the room, followed by the sound of a baby crying.
The old nanny who has been following the Empress Changsun for the longest time rushed out of the house with tears in her eyes and said: "Congratulations to the Empress, Congratulations to the Empress, the Empress has given birth. The Crown Princess has given birth to a little grandson!"
Upon hearing this, Queen Changsun breathed a sigh of relief and rushed into the house.
"I have a son, I have a child!"
Li Chengqian also had a smile on his face, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed.
But as he smiled, his laughter turned into a violent cough.
The hard work along the way has left him bruised and bruised.
He could have persisted with his faith, but after the worries in his heart dissipated, Li Chengqian could no longer hold on and fell to the ground on his back.
By the time Xiao Chuzi came over to check, Li Chengqian was already lying on the ground.
Xiao Chuzi wanted to help Li Chengqian up, but because the heavy snow had covered the ground, his feet were unstable and he fell down.
And he accidentally pulled open Li Chengqian's shirt, revealing a large pool of scarlet blood in front of everyone's eyes.
Likewise, the snow under his feet was already stained red with blood.
Seeing this scene, little Chuzi almost burst his eyes.
And just when the little Chuzi wanted to shout, Li Chengqian grabbed the corner of his clothes and said with the last trace of his consciousness: "Don't shout, lest you startle her..."
