Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty: Please say long live His Majesty

Chapter 485: Li Shimin: Prince, Cheng Qian, why are you in my palace? (Part )

"Burn my remains, blazing fire." Li Chengqian sat on a short couch on the steps in front of Wanchun Palace, looking at the people in front of him who were bowing, and said, "Zoroastrianism, the name is not wrong."

"Your Majesty," Changsun Wuji stepped forward and bowed. "Zoroastrianism originated from Zoroastrianism, but it is completely different from it. Its doctrines are extreme and its methods are brutal. I was merely suspicious of him and ordered him to be apprehended. Who would have thought he would actually burn himself to death?"

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji also felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

They still haven't figured out what exactly happened, but Luo Ersabami didn't even make an explanation and just burned himself to death.

The way this sect operates is truly shocking.

Li Chengqian nodded. Although he was not very familiar with Zoroastrianism, he was familiar with the phrase "burn my remains with raging fire".

Mingjiao.

Li Qian remembered the name clearly in his mind.

The Ming Cult, the White Lotus Sect, and the Zoroastrianism are all one.

Intensify the contradictions between the lower classes and the upper classes, and then seize the opportunity to start a rebellion.

Moreover, Zoroastrianism is still very primitive, but as a monotheistic religion, it is destined to be an enemy of most religions in the world.

Especially Zoroastrianism, whose teachings are not that radical.

But his relationship with Zoroastrianism was the worst.

If Luo Ersabamei really came from the Zoroastrianism, then it would make sense for him to act so secretly in Chang'an.

"That's true, but the Tang Dynasty can't possibly interfere in the affairs of Zoroastrianism or Zoroastrianism." Li Chengqian leaned forward slightly and said, "I know there's something wrong with Luo Er Suo Bo Mei, otherwise he wouldn't have burned himself to death. But what exactly is the problem, and what exactly did he do? This is what we must first understand."

"Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji continued to bow and said, "Although Luo'er Suobomei's sudden self-immolation nearly burned down the entire room, General Duan still found something on Luo'er Suobomei's remains."

As he spoke, Changsun Wuji looked to the side.

Zheng Rentai, Duan Baoxuan, and Shi Hedan were all there.

Duan Baoxuan stepped forward, pulled out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and handed it forward: "Your Majesty, this is what I found in the remains of Narosabomei's burned clothes."

Li Chengqian turned sideways, and Xu An immediately walked down, took the porcelain bottle, and then handed it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian played with the porcelain bottle, looked at Duan Baoxuan and asked, "What's in it?"

"According to the people at Shang Pharmacy, the powder in here is made from ground Datura flowers." Before Duan Baoxuan could finish his words, Li Chengqian had already sat up.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Mandragora?"

"Yes!" Duan Baoxuan cupped his hands and said, "Datura has a paralyzing and hallucinogenic effect."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "I know what Mandragora is, but I don't understand what purpose it serves in my father's elixir."

"Your Majesty, if he takes Mandrake constantly, he will become extremely dependent on it." Changsun Wuji bowed and said, "Perhaps Luo Er Suo Bo Mei wants to control the Emperor."

"Hmm!" Li Chengqian nodded, looking at the datura powder in his hand, and said softly, "This thing is not poisonous, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs' several inspections and even some people's drug testing didn't notice anything wrong. But this thing is even more terrifying than poison. If it takes effect, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos."

"Yes!" Changsun Wuji, Zheng Rentai, Duan Baoxuan, and Shi Hedan all bowed.

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, after taking the pill today, Father didn't show any symptoms. The poison hasn't taken effect yet."

"Yes!" Zhang Sun Wuji bowed and raised his head, saying, "Your Majesty, no matter what, you should go visit the Emperor now."

"Yeah!" Li Chengqian nodded, then stood up from the short couch.

In the Wanchun Palace behind him, a figure swayed gently.

Li Chengqian leaned over and said, "My beloved concubine, please send someone to tell the Queen about this."

Zheng Shuang'er bowed slightly in the hall: "Yes!"

Li Chengqian looked up and walked down the stairs.

In the night sky above, the crescent moon is cold and clear, illuminating the earth.

Li Chengqian took the lead and headed towards Xianchun Gate.

The others hurried to follow.

Zheng Rentai couldn't help but look back at Wanchun Palace. Is the emperor resting in Wanchun Palace today?
……

Li Chengqian, a disciple of Ganlu Sect, stopped.

Changsun Wuji stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, knock on the door."

Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "My uncle didn't call the Suzaku Gate tonight, so I can't just call the Ganlu Gate open."

There is a difference between inside and outside the palace.

Similarly, there are differences between Li Chengqian's harem and Li Shimin's harem.

Li Shimin lived in Ganlu Palace. If Li Chengqian broke into the palace, it would be an insult to Li Shimin's dignity.

Even though Li Shimin has now abdicated and become the Supreme Emperor, Li Chengqian still needs to pay attention to these things.

Li Chengqian raised his head, looked towards Ganlu Gate, and called out, "Cousin, are you on duty tonight?"

Chai Zhewei poked his head out from the city gate and bowed to Li Chengqian, saying, "Your Majesty, I am here. I wonder if Your Majesty..." "Send someone to wake my father and tell him that the elixir Luo Ershuamei presented is poisonous. Immediately have Master Yin and Imperial Physician Zhang take his pulse." After a brief pause, Li Chengqian said, "Finally, may I ask if my father wishes to see me and Duke Zhao?"

"Yes!" Chai Zhewei immediately bowed, then quickly walked down the Ganlu Gate and headed towards the Ganlu Palace.

In front of the Ganlu Palace, Zhang Ananda had already noticed something unusual.

On the steps, after hearing what Chai Zhewei said, Zhang Ananda's face turned grim and he whispered, "Is the pill poisonous?"

"Yes!" Chai Zhewei nodded and said, "The news should have been sent in by Duke Zhao. There was some movement at Suzaku Gate before, and then it seems that something happened at Shang Pharmacy as well."

Zhang Ananda turned around, took a deep look at the hall, and then waved his hands to both sides.

Under the shadow of the pillars, more than a dozen black-clad guards immediately walked out from behind the pillars and disappeared into the corner of the hall.

When Chai Zhewei saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

With a creaky sound, the palace door was gently pushed open.

In the hall, Yin Wencao, Zhang Ananda, and Xuanzang had all stood up.

Zhang Ananda turned sideways to look at Chai Zhewei and said, "Master Xuanzang, please go to the side hall to rest."

"Yes!" Chai Zhewei immediately bowed and walked towards Xuanzang personally.

"Amitabha!" Xuanzang put his hands together and saluted, then turned and walked towards the side hall.

Zhang Ananda looked at Zhang Baozang and said, "Imperial Physician, please take His Majesty's pulse."

"Yes!" Zhang Baozang bowed, then followed Zhang Ananda into the inner hall.

In the inner hall, Wu Meiniang, dressed in a pink skirt, stood behind the curtain and looked at Zhang Ananda with some concern.

Zhang Ananda ignored Wu Meiniang and took Zhang Baozang forward to check Li Shimin's pulse, calling softly, "Saint, Saint..."

Zhang Baozang listened to Zhang Ananda calling the emperor, while he himself took Li Shimin's wrist.

It was not known whether he did not use enough force or what, but Li Shimin's wrist suddenly slipped from Zhang Ananda's palm.

Zhang Ananda did not notice this scene, but Wu Meiniang, who was standing behind Zhang Baozang, saw it clearly. She was so scared that she almost screamed, but fortunately she covered her mouth with her palm in time.

"Saint, Saint, Saint..." Zhang Ananda called out more than thirty times in a row, but Li Shimin still did not respond. Finally, his tone became anxious: "Saint, Saint..."

"The Saint is fine." Zhang Baozang put down Li Shimin's wrist, then looked at Zhang Ananda and said, "The Emperor's body is a little numb, but it's nothing serious. It's okay to force him to wake up, but it will harm his body. Otherwise, let His Majesty come in first."

Zhang Ananda looked a little embarrassed. He glanced at Li Shimin who could not be awakened at all, then turned to look at Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang immediately understood what Zhang Ananda meant.

The emperor's breaking into Ganlu Gate at night was actually a very sensitive matter. Once the emperor woke up and got angry, Zhang Ananda would not be able to handle it alone.

"Let Your Majesty come down." Wu Meiniang finally nodded.

Zhang Baozang bowed slightly to Wu Meiniang, then walked out quickly.

Wu Meiniang stood in the hall, looked at Zhang Baozang and asked, "Is the emperor really okay?"

"It should be fine."

……

Li Chengqian strode into Ganlu Gate.

The crescent moon hangs high.

The harem is cold and lonely.

Li Chengqian, Zhangsun Wuji, Zheng Rentai, and a group of people entered the Ganlu Palace.

Everyone in the hall saluted and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Stand up," Li Chengqian said, looking towards the inner hall. "Zhang Jian has already informed me of the situation. Everyone must remain at their positions tonight and not leave without permission."

"Here!" Everyone bowed.

"Imperial Physician Zhang, Master Yin, find the recipe for the Luo Er Suo Bo Mei elixir and add Datura powder to it to see how the medicinal properties change." Li Chengqian looked towards the inner hall and said softly, "I want to know the current health condition of my father."

Zhang Baozang and Yin Wencao both bowed and said, "Yes!"

Li Chengqian then walked into the inner hall, knelt down under the bed, and looked at the sleeping Li Shimin with a worried look.

Changsun Wuji knelt down behind Li Chengqian.

The moon is setting in the west and the sun is rising.

Before I knew it, a night had passed.

Chenshi, Sishi, until the end of Sishi, Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, a rare majesty appeared in Li Shimin's eyes.

He slowly turned sideways, looked at Li Chengqian, squinted his eyes and said, "Prince, Chengqian, when did you come to me?"
