These people were already jealous of the favor he had received from the King of Wei, and they were eager to slap him on the butt a few more times to bring out their usual bad temper.
"Take off your pants, why are you still standing there?"
Li Tai didn't sincerely want to beat him, but seeing the others gloating about his misfortune made him very angry. He thought it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to kill the chicken to honor the monkey.
Wang Xiaoyang pulled down his pants a few times, exposing his white buttocks. He looked up at him and asked, "Master, are you really spanking me?"
"I'm beating slaves like you. You usually don't know how to be generous when you see my good nature, right? This time, Zhang Qiuhua almost killed me. If I don't show you slaves how powerful I am, you will have to turn the world upside down in the future.
.”
The more he scolded, the angrier he became, so he simply took the stick and did it himself.
Wang Xiaoyang grinned in pain and screamed several times.
Li Tai couldn't do it any more, so he threw down the stick and said, "Forget it, I'm tired, I'll spare you today. You guys, remember, don't cause me any trouble in the palace in the future, otherwise, huh!"
The eunuchs agreed submissively and carried Wang Xiaoyang out.
Zhou Ruhua was very puzzled to see him getting so angry and asked him: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? You don't blame him for this?"
"If he hadn't been incompetent, could such a big thing have happened? The Emperor and Queen have suppressed this matter, otherwise I'm afraid it would cause a big fuss. What good would it do to me?"
"This is called war without smoke. King Wei, what are your plans for the future?"
Li Tai laughed and said: "Of course the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it up."
"Don't brag. If someone is in the light and you are in the dark, how do you know that one day he will do something bad?"
Zhou Ruhua is indeed Wei Zheng's daughter, and her analysis is very thorough.
"That's true, but I know very well that my elder brother is too capable and will die sooner or later."
At this time, news came from the palace that Queen Changsun coughed so much that she went into shock.
When Li Tai heard this, he thought, "Isn't this a symbol of death?"
Especially in autumn and winter, when the weather turns cooler, people with poor lungs will become more ill.
What should I do? If she is gone and I become a motherless child, it will be even worse.
Hazy and panicked, he didn't know why, so he advised him to go visit him quickly.
"Don't worry, I'm not an imperial doctor. Is there any use? Ruhua is going to get some pears and some rock sugar and simmer them over low heat."
Zhou Ruhua hurriedly ordered other palace ladies to do it.
"No, I won't worry until you do it yourself."
Zhou Ruhua agreed and went.
With a confused face, he asked him: "What are you doing? The queen has taken so many precious medicinal materials to no avail, but you want to give her soup?"
"Don't waste any words. This is a folk remedy I got from the people. I didn't know how effective it would be, so I didn't tell my mother. Now that she's seriously ill, I have to give it a try."
Drinking rock sugar pear water for people with cough is a modern method of treating cough.
He almost died when he was a child and relied on this folk remedy to survive.
At this time, they will definitely be happy if they show their skills in front of Li Shimin and the others.
Good steel should be used in knives.
About an hour later, Li Tai asked Zhou Ruhua to fill the rock sugar pear water in a ceramic vat, and then went with him to the residence of Empress Changsun of Taiji Palace.
A group of imperial doctors were helpless, pacing back and forth like ants on a hot pot.
Li Shimin was running around anxiously, and Li Zhi was crying so hard that he was out of breath.
Even the Li Ke brothers were there, but Li Chengqian was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing him, Li Shimin sobbed and said, "Tai'er, are you afraid that your mother will die?"
"Father, don't worry too much. I went to Xidu Mansion some time ago to find a folk remedy for cough. I don't know how effective it is and I dare not give it to my mother. Now I can only give it a try."
"What method? What's in it? Can't you cure a lame person into a lame person?"
Li Shimin doubtfully opened the lid and looked at it.
"Father, don't worry. This is pear water stewed with rock sugar. It is very effective in clearing away heat and moisturizing the lungs. I will try it myself first, otherwise I will not dare to give it to my mother."
Li Shimin said happily: "Okay, come on, please give it to the queen as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Ying'er hurried over.
Li Tai looked at her and said to Li Shimin: "Father, let Ruhua feed the queen mother. She stewed this pear water."
"Okay, hurry up."
Empress Changsun's lips were tightly closed, her breathing was weak, and her face was as white as a piece of paper.
Li Tai rushed forward and hugged her, holding her in his arms. He took the spoon handed over by Zhou Ruhua with his other hand and fed her.
After a few sips, Queen Changsun opened her eyes, struggled to sit up straight and asked him: "What is this? It feels very comfortable to drink it."
"Mother, this is the rock sugar pear water that I made for you. It is specially used to treat lung diseases."
"Thank you for your hard work, where is your elder brother? I'm going to die, and he won't come to see me off?"
After saying that, I burst into tears.
"Mother, my eldest brother must be unable to come because of something. Otherwise, he would have come earlier. I will serve you and drink all this."
Empress Changsun took it and drank it in one gulp. Li Tai stroked her chest again and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Okay, it's really comfortable. Son, you'd better be filial."
Outside the bedroom, a group of imperial doctors looked ugly. They never imagined that pears and rock sugar could save the queen from life or death.
Li Shimin looked displeased and said, "All of you, sir, are people who are depriving themselves of the state's salary. The Queen's illness was treated by the King of Wei. He has never learned medical skills. How can you save my face?"
"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of myself. The Queen is seriously ill. I am afraid that King Wei is just a coincidence."
"What a load of nonsense. It was just a coincidence, why don't you give it a try?"
Everyone was ashamed.
"Okay, you go. I miss you, the Tang Dynasty. We have so many talented people, but we can't even cure the queen's illness. It really makes Lian sad."
All the imperial doctors left in panic.
Li Shimin ordered several princes to leave, then entered the bedroom, took the hand of Changsun Wuyou and said, "My beloved concubine has suffered, and it's all my fault for not taking good care of you."
Changsun Wuyou retracted his hand, his pretty face turned red and said, "Your Majesty, why should you blame yourself? It's all because of my unlucky fate and poor fate. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you for a long time. It's not a pity for me to die. I only pity these children. Xiaoxiao
I lost my mother when I was young."
Li Taiyi heard that he was going to explain his funeral arrangements?
With a "plop", he knelt down and said: "Mother, you are overthinking. Your disease needs to be treated slowly. From now on, I will give you simmered rock sugar pear water to drink every day. This method is dietary therapy, and the effect is slower, but it can definitely be cured."
Get better with your illness."
Changsun Wuyou smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Ruhua and said, "Your Majesty, this girl looks somewhat similar to my concubine. She is graceful and elegant, and she is a perfect match for Tai'er. How about making her your concubine?"
Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "Okay, our King Wei has grown up and it is time to get married. Girl, where are you from? What do your parents do? I can also find a betrothal gift."
When Li Tai heard this, he was mixed with joy. He had been married to her for hundreds of years, and now that the emperor and queen were making decisions for them, it was natural that they could not wish for it, but he did not dare to tell her true identity, so as not to arouse Li Shimin's speculation.
