The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2162 The Last Side

After hearing the shout of the man on horseback, the guards at the gate of the palace did not dare to stop him.

A fast horse, the man on the horse held a token, and after entering the palace, he galloped all the way to the outside of the Xuanzheng Hall.

"What's the sound outside?" Li Chengqian asked: "Why did I vaguely listen to it, as if it was the second prince?"

Lin'an heard the words and hurried to check outside the Xuanzheng Hall. Before he could leave the Xuanzheng Hall, the guards outside the door came in.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, someone from Zhuangzi of Dongshan County has come up, holding the signboard of His Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, saying that he is here to deliver a letter. The second prince Li Yi is in the medical school and is seriously ill. Now everyone in the medical school is helpless. Say this time I'm afraid"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian dropped the memorial in his hand and stood up.

"Really?" Li Chengqian stared at the guards below and asked.

"It is indeed the brand of Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang. I have checked it at the end and it is true." The guard said.

"Send an order to prepare the carriage. I will leave the palace and go to Zhuangzi in Dongshan County." Li Chengqian said.

It is said that father and son are connected, just now Li Chengqian always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but the bad news came out without warning, Li Chengqian felt that Dr. Li was seriously ill this time, maybe he really couldn't die.

Li Chengqian's heart was a little flustered, it was different from the last time when the news of Doctor Li's serious illness in the palace reached Xuanzheng Hall.

"Yes." The guard replied.

"Your Majesty, why don't you change your clothes first." Lin'an said.

"No need, the sooner the better." Li Chengqian walked down the steps and walked outside the Xuanzheng Hall.

The guards in the palace didn't prepare with much fanfare, they were just a carriage, with a hundred guards from the palace, came out from Danfeng Gate, and rushed to Dongshan County in a mighty manner.

At this time, Doctor Li in the room was exhausted.

"Second Brother, you can't sleep, hold on for a while, Father is rushing over from Chang'an City, Second Brother!" Li Jue sat by the bed, calling Doctor Li continuously.

"Third brother, I'm tired." Doctor Li's voice was almost inaudible, and there was no sound in the room, only the sound of An An's soft sobbing could be heard, and Xuan Che could be seen covering him with his hands all the time. It's like keeping your mouth shut and not letting your painful voice come out.

The doctor brother said, don't let him cry.

but he couldn't help it
"Second brother!" Seeing Doctor Li slowly closing his eyes, Li Jue shouted heartbreakingly.

Everyone in the room lowered their heads, An An buried her head in Jinyang's arms and wept, while Xuan Che tightly grasped Xuan Shijing's clothes with the other hand.

Xuan Shijing's eyes were red, and he let out a long sigh.

"Come on."

Chang Le walked in from the outside.

"My lord."

Xuan Shijing closed his eyes, but the tears in his eyes still fell down: "Order, let the academy ring the bell. In addition, the students of the academy will be vegetarian for three days. During these three days, the academy is not allowed to hold any entertainment activities."

"Yes." Chang Le clapped her hands in response.

There is a big bell in the academy, which will be rung only after some important person in the academy has passed away to inform the students in the academy.

This bell was not set up in the academy for no reason. When the academy was founded, most of the teachers who taught in the academy were Xuan Shijing who had sought out respected officials who were no longer suitable to stay in the court and continue to serve as officials. , they themselves are either too old to continue to work on government affairs, or they are slightly ill. After coming to the academy, although they can take care of their health, they can only prolong their lifespan for a few years at most. In the past ten years, the first batch of gentlemen who came to Zhuangzi to attend the academy have all passed away.

This bell is the death knell of the Academy.

As for Dr. Li, although he was not a gentleman of the academy, and he had not made any great contributions to the academy, he was His Majesty's son, the prince of the royal family, with a distinguished status, and he died in the medical school.

In the four academies on Zhuangzi, the students all knew that the second prince, Dr. Li, recuperated in the academies. It was reasonable for Dr. Li to die and the death knell toll.

The news of the second prince's death will be announced to the world sooner or later.

Li Jue lay in front of Dr. Li's bed, tears streaming down his face.

In the courtyard where Dr. Li lived, the atmosphere of sadness continued to spread. Everyone in the room was silent, and the two children, An An and Xuan Che, couldn't help crying.

Li Chengqian's carriage was heading towards Zhuangzi at high speed. When Li Chengqian arrived at Zhuangzi, the medical school, and the courtyard where Dr. Li lived, all he could hear was the crying of the crowd.

"Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing stood at the door of the room, waiting for Li Chengqian.

"Heal him!" Li Chengqian's lips trembled.

"Your Majesty, my condolences are changing. The second prince has already gone." Xuan Shijing said, his voice was low and hoarse.

Although I haven't spent a long time with Dr. Li, who doesn't like a smart, sensible and poor child?

After all, Xuan Shijing took care of Dr. Li for such a long time, and he also had feelings for him. Although he had already made psychological preparations, when this day came, he still felt uncomfortable.

But he is a big man, how can he cry like a woman?
Besides, Li Chengqian, Doctor Li is Li Chengqian's son, and when Doctor Li passed away, the most sad person should be Li Chengqian, the father, right?But could Li Chengqian cry in front of so many people and be distraught?

No, besides being a father, he is also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. From the perspective of the emperor's status, he must maintain his majesty and image.

Therefore, no matter how sad he was, he couldn't cry now, nor could he cry in front of so many students in the medical school.

Li Chengqian passed Xuan Shijing and walked straight into Doctor Li's room. After seeing Li Chengqian, the people in Doctor Li's room stepped aside, stood on both sides, and bowed in salute.

"Let's all go out first." Li Chengqian said: "Jueer, stay here."

"Yes." Everyone in the room responded one after another.

Everyone backed out, and Li Chengqian came to Dr. Li's bed, and looked at Dr. Li who was lying on the bed pale and had closed his eyes.

He could no longer hear his own son, Wen Wen's weak voice calling his father.

Two tears fell on the ground.

"Father." Li Jue raised his head and looked at his father. His eyes were already red and swollen from crying. After seeing his father, he seemed to have a pillar to confide in and vent. Throwing into Li Chengqian's arms: "Second Brother, he's gone, Second Brother, he's gone!!"

"En." Li Chengqian's voice was as dry as if he had stood under the scorching sun for a long time without drinking water, as if he had used up all his strength to squeeze out such a word from his throat.
