After the national mourning bell rang, a burst of crazy and hysterical laughter came from the Chonghua Palace, which had its gate closed.
Love it or hate it.
The love-hate relationship between Concubine Li You and Li Nao Shimin finally came to an end with Li Nao Shimin's death.
That night, not long after Yin Baolin's indescribable laughter ended, someone watching the Chonghua Palace reported that Yin Baolin had hit a pillar and died.
When the news came, Empress Changsun, who had fainted due to excessive sadness, had just woken up faintly, and Li Zhi was accompanying Fang Yiai in front of Empress Changsun to take pulse.
Empress Changsun's eyes flickered for a few times, she sighed lowly, closed her eyes tiredly, and said, "Your Majesty doesn't want to see her again. He wanted to give her a good burial because she was a meritorious companion." After saying that, she turned her head.
On the inside.
Fang Yiai and Li Zhi wisely withdrew, leaving Xiangcui to take care of Empress Changsun to rest.
"Her mother?" After Fang Yiai finished prescribing the prescription, Li Zhi still asked worriedly.
"Let Princess Jinyang spend more time with the Queen. Maybe, with Princess Cheng Huan at her knees, the Queen's mood can be restored." Fang Yiai glanced back at the Li Zheng Palace and said in an uncertain tone.
Li Zhi quietly looked at the Li Zheng Palace where the light was still bright. After a long time, he exhaled and said, "That's the only way it can be."
The relationship between Empress Changsun and Li Shimin has always been good, and in recent years it has become even better than in the past. Li Zhi was really worried that Empress Changsun would be like Sun Yuniang. After her husband died and her wife died, she chased Li Shimin away without any intention of survival.
The two looked at each other and went to find Li Chengqian who was discussing the national funeral with the Ministry of Rites.
After listening to what Fang Yiai and Li Zhi said, Li Chengqian didn't dare to delay. He called Li Qing to give some instructions and asked him to find the busy Wu Meinuang.
After listening to Li Qing's message, Wu Meicheng, who had made arrangements for the panic of the inner court and the mourning of the wives of various families, rushed to the Lizheng Palace with Princess Jinyang, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying.
, I reminded Princess Jinyang in and out of words along the way, that she must appease the queen’s mood.
In the mourning hall, two brothers, Li Tai and Li Zhi, led Li Chengqian's descendants to keep vigil there.
Li Chengqian was usually there after handling state affairs every day.
Fang Yiai, who was supposed to be kneeling in the mourning hall to cry for Li Nao Shimin, has been called by Li Chengqian's side these days.
It was not to discuss any important matters, nor to entrust him with important tasks. It was simply that Li Chengqian hoped that there would be someone by his side to accompany him all the time.
Except for a few words of comfort to Li Chengqian from time to time, Fang Yiai spent the rest of the time silently staying within reach of Li Chengqian's eyes. At the same time, she endured the suspicious eyes of Changsun Wuji and the worried eyes of Fang Xuanling and others.
.
As a man, he doesn't really want others to see his soft and sentimental side, and now, Fang Yiai is undoubtedly spending such a moment with Li Chengqian.
In the future, when Emperor Li Chengqian's majesty is at its peak, who can guarantee that he will not feel ashamed and embarrassed because of the events of the past few days, and then look for opportunities to anger Fang Yiai?
No one can say for sure about this kind of thing.
In particular, the current Fang Yiai, apart from the false title of Prince Consort, has a white body.
Because of his medical skills and his friendship with Li Chengqian, no one said much about entering the palace to practice medicine. But now, after Li Shimin passed away, he was kept by Li Chengqian's side. The already careless political bastard,
How can you think about something simple?
Looking at the deep worry in Fang Xuanling's eyes, thinking about the letter Yu Shinan left for her, and going through the busy national funeral with Li Chengqian, Fang Yiai rarely seriously considered the future path and how to go...
According to his own ideas, he would naturally retire early and focus on his medical path in his past and present lives.
Every time she felt Changsun Wuji's doubtful eyes, Fang Yiai couldn't help but sigh.
Now that his father is still alive, Changsun Wuji looks at him in this way from time to time. After a hundred years, if his father really retreats, will Changsun Wuji not come back as everyone speculates?
Looking for trouble for yourself and your family?
What's more, the third brother's legacy is to obey his father's orders and is also preparing for the Enke exam. He will definitely pursue an official career in the future.
The current two sons are both civil and military, and plan to pursue official careers.
These are things that Fang Yiai cannot afford not to think about more.
What's more, Lu Yi's family is also involved.
Listening to Fang Xuanling, the reason why Li Nao Shimin was angry with him because of Princess Changle's death and turned him into a white body was to make it easier for Li Chengqian to be kind to him after he ascended the throne in the future. He left more between himself and Li Chengqian.
A harmonious space between monarch and ministers.
In a sense, Li Nao Shimin's protection can be regarded as a disguised form of protection for himself.
With Li Chengqian's shrewdness, he could not fail to understand this meaning.
Therefore, whether it is because of Li Chengqian's long-term friendship with him or because of Li Shimin's special arrangements, trying to persuade Li Chengqian to let him stay away from the court, in Fang Yiai's view, is a mountain to be conquered...,...,
.
That night, the tired Li Zhi, Li Tai and others were sent away. Li Chengqian, who was free, took Fang Yiai to accompany him to watch Li Nao Shimin's funeral.
"I feel a little unsure.
"Li Chengqian knelt down on the mat, looking at Li Shimin's luxurious coffin with a somewhat blank look in his eyes, and said softly.
Although Li Chengqian used the close word "I" to refer to himself, Fang Yiai at this time did not dare to match Li Chengqian's "you and me" as easily as before.
In the past, with Li Chuanshimin here, he and Li Chengqian were worthy of each other. As long as Li Chuanshimin and Li Chengqian didn't say anything, others would naturally not talk too much. But it's different now. Li Chuanshimin passed away. While handling Li Chuanshimin's funeral, the ministers also
Discussions began about inviting Taizuozi to ascend the throne.
At this time, Bai Shen is by Li Chengqian's side. If Fang Yiai, who is already eye-catching, continues to behave as usual and matches Li Chengqian you and me, whoever wants to drown Fang Yiai with spittle will be
It's not just the bunch of villains and censors.
Fang Yiai pretended not to have heard Li Chengqian address himself, with an encouraging smile on his face, and said, "Why did Your Highness say that? In the past two years, most of the state affairs and the Emperor have been handed over to His Highness. If His Highness hadn't handled it properly,
How can the emperor be so confident that he can personally handle the affairs of the state?"
Li Chengqian said nothing, and turned to look at Fang Yiai seriously, with loss and disappointment in his eyes.
Fang Yixin knew clearly what Li Chengqian was disappointed about, but at this juncture, he did not dare to respond, so he could only shut up and look away silently.
"Even you, do you want to be separated from me?" Li Chengqian smiled lonely, with a bitter taste in his mouth, and murmured.
"My lords from the three provinces and six ministries are already discussing. After the emperor's coffin is moved to Zhaoling, we will inform you about the enthronement of His Highness, my lord," Fang Yiai took a breath and said, "My lord, I dare not make any mistakes."
"Can't I have a friend by my side?" Li Chengqian looked at Fang Yiai and asked in a low voice. Without waiting for Fang Yiai's answer, he turned to look at Li Shimin's coffin and said, "I wonder if my father has any friends?"
?”
Fang Yiai really couldn't answer this, so she could only remain silent...
"Ninth brother," Li Chengqian didn't expect Fang Yiai to answer, and continued to talk to himself, "it revealed his intention, and he wanted to go to Bingzhou after three months of mourning for his father.
"His Highness's heirs also need to be re-confessed. It is inconvenient for King Jin to stay in Jingchao City any longer." Fang Yiai sighed and said dryly.
"That's the younger brother I've loved since childhood." Li Chengqian chuckled twice and said.
Fang Yiai could hear that the voice was full of sadness and loss, as well as a deep sense of helplessness.
"Your Highness," even though there is always a certain distance in his heart, after all, we grew up together and experienced life and death together in Lizhou. Looking at Li Chengqian like this, Fang Yiai couldn't be cruel after all.
He opened his mouth and said, "The emperor is newly mourned, and the empress is weak. I'm afraid she still needs to show her filial piety in front of King Jin's bed."
Hearing this, the disappointment on Li Chengqian's face disappeared a lot, and a lot of color returned to his eyes. He looked at Fang Yiai, smiled, and said, "I know. Xiaojiu, it's for my own good. I don't want to
I was bitten by the courtiers, and it affected the stability of the court."
"You..." Seeing the cunning flash in Li Chengqian's eyes, Fang Yiai was stunned for a moment, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said helplessly.
Emotions, the emotions Li Chengqian had been brewing for a long time, just wanted to try himself!
"I knew your kid wouldn't be heartless." Li Chengqian said with a smile, with a hint of hurt hidden in his smiling eyes.
"The etiquette of a monarch and his ministers should be taken into consideration." Fang Yiai said in a compromise. To be honest, Fang Yiai was really not used to asking him to give Li Chengqian a big gift every time they met. After all, the two of them got along casually in private.
You are used to it. This habit cannot be corrected immediately just because of the change of status.
That's why someone said that habit is a terrible thing.
"When there is no one around, I just want to do it before. Otherwise, if I don't talk to you about some things, I will have to hold back my illness. The medicinal soup is very bitter." Li Chengqian swept away the sadness before and said in a relaxed tone,
It felt like I was back in the East Palace chatting with Fang Yiai.
"I didn't take your taste into account when I prescribed medicine for you that time! It's tiring to use your brain every time, and it's not as easy as walking twice on the battlefield." Fang Yiai complained rudely.
Fang Yi sighed lovingly and comforted himself, saying, forget it, save some friendship between the king and his ministers, maybe it will be useful in the future.
As we chatted, the topic returned to the unfounded things Li Chengqian said before.
"The reason why I did a good job in supervising state affairs in the past is because I know that my father is still behind me. If I make mistakes, my father will help correct them, so I can let go." Li Chengqian said with a wry smile, "
