Chapter 55: Helpless!

The two little princesses held hands, walked through the mirror and out of the screen, but the scene before them stunned them.

Inside the Lizheng Hall, the usual peaceful and tranquil atmosphere was gone, replaced by a sense of tension and uneasiness.

The palace maids walked hurriedly with serious expressions, and the imperial doctors talked in low voices with frowns on their faces.

There was a faint smell of medicine in the air, which added a bit of oppression.

No one else noticed the two little princesses who suddenly came out from behind the screen.

The little princesses looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and anxiety.

They had never seen such a scene before. Usually, when Empress Changsun was unwell, she would have the two little princesses taken away.

On weekdays, my mother always smiled gently, and the palace was always filled with laughter.

But today, everything has changed.

Their little hands were tightly clasped together, as if they could find some comfort in each other.

"Mother~My baby is here~" The little princess' voice also became less cheerful.

"His Highness is back!" Tianxiang just happened to see it when he came out of the inner hall.

Princess Yuzhang, who had just walked out of the inner hall, also saw it.

Princess Yuzhang was slightly younger than Li Lizhi and was Li Shimin's sixth daughter.

Princess Yuzhang's mother died early, and she was raised by Empress Zhangsun.

When he heard that Empress Changsun had a relapse of illness and came to help, he naturally knew what to do when he saw the two little princesses.

"Sizi, second sister!" Princess Yuzhang hurried over.

"Sister Xiniu~" Princess Yuzhang also often came to Lizheng Palace, and the little princess was also familiar with her.

"Sixth sister, where are mother and sister?" Princess Chengyang also asked.

"Mother and sister are busy, so we can't disturb you, second sister Sizi. Sixth sister will take you out to play." Princess Yuzhang said as she walked out with the two little princesses.

Given the personalities of the two little princesses, they would definitely cry when they saw Empress Changsun was unwell.

Empress Changsun and others did not want this to happen and would send the two little princesses away.

The two little princesses were coaxed and deceived by Princess Yuzhang and taken out of Lizheng Hall.

Tianxiang also immediately told Li Lizhi in the inner hall about this matter, "Your Highness, the two young princes have just returned, and Her Highness Princess Yuzhang has taken them out."

Li Lizhi looked at Xiangcao and Shuying beside her, "You two go look after Sizi's second sister!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Two palace maids left the inner hall.

Li Lizhi looked at the imperial physician anxiously. Empress Changsun's condition did not improve at all, and her cough became more and more severe.

It's pouring rain outside, so we definitely can't go out to play.

Princess Yuzhang took the two little princesses to the side hall on the other side.

I also brought an electric fan and some food.

The little princess looked at the letter in her hand and then remembered that she had important things to do.

"Sister Niu~ I want to give this to my sister~"

Princess Chengyang also quickly said: "This is very important, it's for my sister."

"My elder sister is busy. Can you please give it to me later, Sixth Sister?" Princess Yuzhang couldn't let the two little princesses go back to Lizheng Palace now.

Li Lizhi was guarding Empress Changsun in the inner palace and could not leave now.

"Give Sizi to Sixth Sister!" said the little Princess Chengyang.

"Hmmmm~"

"Hey~ Sister Niu, here you go~"

Princess Yuzhang took the letter with a look of suspicion on her face.

Why are there letters to Li Lizhi?

This is not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is why the letter was written from the little princess to Li Lizhi?
Where did the little princess go before?
Princess Yuzhang was completely confused and couldn't figure it out.

Only the people in Lizheng Hall knew about the screen, and basically no one else knew.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai didn't know about it, and it was even more impossible for Princess Yuzhang to know.

Princess Yuzhang took the letter without thinking much about it.

Xiangcao Shuying also found the two princesses, bringing a shopping cart with her. "Xiangcao, Shuying, take good care of Sizi's second sister. I'll go over there," Princess Yuzhang instructed.

"It's Your Highness!"

Princess Yuzhang rubbed the heads of the two little princesses and said, "Second sister Sizi, please play here first. Sixth sister can come later, okay?"

"Hmmmm~"

"Okay, Sixth Sister!"

In fact, the two little princesses wanted to find Xiao Ran, but they didn't say it now.

Li Lizhi and Empress Changsun had previously instructed that the matter of the screen should not be told to anyone else.

Princess Yuzhang left with the letter and returned to Lizheng Hall again.

Find Li Lizhi in the inner hall.

"Sister!"

Li Lizhi turned around and said, "Sixth sister, has Sizi and Second Sister been settled?"

"Well, she's settled." Princess Yuzhang also looked at Empress Changsun on the bed with a worried look on her face.

"Sizi, did my second sister say anything else?" Li Lizhi didn't expect her two sisters to come back at this time.

Empress Changsun suddenly fell ill and forgot to deal with the screen.

"Nothing else was mentioned." Princess Yuzhang thought of the letter. "This was given by Sizi. Take a look, sister."

"Okay!" Li Lizhi quickly took the letter and opened it.

Princess Yuzhang was very tactful and walked a few steps to the side.

After Li Lizhi read the letter, Xiao Ran said that he chose to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Ran provided the goods, and Empress Li Lizhi sold them.

The most important issue now is how to divide the benefits.

Xiao Ran's supply of goods is irreplaceable by anyone else. Without Xiao Ran, these things would not be possible in the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Ran's importance is self-evident.

But Xiao Ran couldn't find the market in the Tang Dynasty either.

The channel markets of Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi are also very important.

If Xiao Ran's products are not sold in the Tang Dynasty, they will not be easy to sell in other places.

The cooperation between the two sides is a win-win situation.

But Li Lizhi didn't want to think about these things now. Empress Changsun's illness left her no time to distract herself.

Li Lizhi put away the letter and walked to Zhang Baozang.

"Doctor Zhang, is there still no solution?"

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Zhang Baozang's forehead. He raised his hand and wiped it gently with his sleeve, looking solemn and tired.

Hearing Li Lizhi's question, he bowed slightly, his tone filled with helplessness and self-blame: "Your Highness, the Queen's condition... is more serious than before."

“Prescriptions and treatments that worked before now seem to have lost their effectiveness.”

"We are trying our best to find a new treatment method, but..."

He paused, his brow furrowed, his voice low and heavy, "Her Majesty the Queen's respiratory illness is already complicated, and this time the onset was sudden and severe. It is difficult for us to find a treatment for the time being."

"However, please rest assured, Your Highness. I will do my best and will never let Your Highness down."

Li Lizhi felt heavier in her heart as she listened to Zhang Baozang's words.

She clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white, and a trace of anxiety and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

She knew that Zhang Baozang was the most skilled imperial physician in treating respiratory diseases in the Imperial Hospital. Even he found the condition difficult to handle, so her mother's condition was probably not optimistic.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Li Lizhi muttered to herself.

Suddenly Li Lizhi thought of Xiao Ran.

Think of the different world on the other side.

Li Lizhi was delighted and looked at Princess Yuzhang, "Sixth sister, you stay here to look after mother. I'm going to be out for a while."
