My father, Li Shimin, requests Your Majesty to become the Retired Emperor.

As the saying goes, every family has its own troubles, and no one expected that King Shuming also had a weakness.

King Shuming sensed that the Queen and he were not truly in sync.

Even when we slept on the same kang (heated brick bed), we weren't as close as before.

However, King Shuming ultimately failed to find any fault with the Queen.

He turned his attention to Princess Tianyan.

This woman was as beautiful as a flower, with a voluptuous figure, in the prime of her life, innocent and romantic, and deeply loved by King Shuming.

This time, Princess Tianyan had another episode. She actually ran up to the roof and said she was going to jump off. No one could do anything about it.

At this moment, King Shuming called out, "My beloved consort, stop fooling around, come down quickly!"

Princess Tianyan put her hands on her hips: "Your Majesty, this time, I'm serious."

I'm really going to jump.

You've broken my heart.

I can't live anymore.

There are too many concubines in the palace, how could you possibly have me in your heart?

"My beloved consort, how can you say such a thing? My love for you is as clear as the sun and the moon."

Unexpectedly, when Princess Tianyan heard King Shuming say such things, she jumped up on the roof, and several glazed tiles collapsed under her feet, falling to the ground and breaking into eight pieces.

"If you truly loved me, you should have made me your queen long ago."

How many times have you said this?

But so far, there has been no movement.

Upon hearing this, King Shuming thought to himself, "Isn't this going to cost me my life?"

The queen isn't someone who can be deposed so easily, but now...

He dared not provoke Princess Tianyan any further, so he could only say, "Alright, alright, I promise you, as long as you come down, I will make you my queen."

Why should I believe you? You never keep your word.

You have lost all credibility in my eyes.

King Shuming grinned, thinking to himself, "My beloved concubine, how could you speak of me like that in front of everyone?"

If you speak of me like that, how will I maintain any authority in their eyes?

At this moment, Songtsen Gampo had already quietly climbed up the stairs.

Songtsen Gampo was as light as a swallow, and walked as silently as a cat.

Unexpectedly, someone tipped them off, and the Queen arrived.

The queen was furious. Pointing her finger at King Shuming's nose, she said, "Your Majesty, what did you just say? You said you were going to depose me and make that woman queen?"

King Shuming was caught in a dilemma.

Seeing the queen's aggressive demeanor, he felt somewhat uneasy.

It is rare to see the Queen lose her temper like this under normal circumstances.

"No, Your Majesty, I did not say such a thing. I was just trying to appease her," King Shuming said in a low voice.

He thought Princess Tianyan couldn't hear, but to his surprise, she heard it very clearly.

"Oh no!" Princess Tianyan exclaimed angrily. "I knew you were a man of your word."

I'll jump for you right now.

I'll die right here!

Princess Tianyan was truly brave; as she said this, she took a leap and actually jumped off the roof.

King Shuming felt as if his heart had been hollowed out.

Then, the loose, dry cloth suddenly lunged forward, lay down on the edge of the roof, and reached out his right hand to grab Princess Tianyan's left wrist.

Princess Tianyan's feet were dangling in the air.

She looked down; it was quite high, and she screamed in fright.

Songtsen Gampo thought to himself that this woman was quite heavy, and that it wouldn't be so easy to pull her up.

King Shuming discovered that the soldiers who had set up the net had gone to the east and were quite far away.

King Shuming thought to himself, "If we expect you to catch Princess Tianyan in a net, then we're doomed."

King Shuming rushed to the eaves without regard for anything else.

He said to Songtsen Gampo on the roof, "Let go of her hand, I will catch her."

By this time, Songtsen Gampo's arms were already sore, and his body was sliding downwards, almost falling off. He simply couldn't hold on any longer.

Songtsen Gampo said, "Alright, then catch it well, catch it securely."

Songtsen Gampo loosened his grip, and Princess Tianyan fell to the ground!

"Ah! Your Majesty, save me!" Princess Tianyan was so frightened that she fainted.

King Shuming quickly stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace.

Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, the queen turned and left.

Inugami Odenkuchi wanted to say something to her, but there were too many people around, and it wasn't very convenient.

At this moment, Songtsen Gampo also came down from the roof, only to find that Princess Tianyan had already fainted.

King Shuming was very worried.

He said to Songtsen Gampo, "My beloved concubine has fallen into a coma. What should we do?"

Songtsen Gampo waved his hand: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

Xiao Wang cast a spell on her.

then,

King Shuming carried Princess Tianyan into the room.

Then, Princess Tianyan was seated in a chair.

At this moment, two maids helped her up.

Songtsen Gampo said, "Little Wang is about to perform the ritual; everyone else may step aside."

King Shumei, Inu no Mita Kuchi, and Yakushi Ehime remained in the palace.

Songtsen Gampo stood behind Princess Tianyan, placed his right hand on her head, closed his eyes, and muttered incantations that no one could understand.

but,

Judging from his attitude, he seemed very devout.

About half an hour later, Princess Tianyan opened her eyes. Her eyes were bright and clear, and she asked, "Your Majesty, how did I get here? What happened just now?"

King Shuming then recounted what had just happened.

Princess Tianyan vehemently denied it: "Your Majesty, you are mistaken. How could I possibly do such a thing?"

How could I possibly have gotten onto the roof?

You must have made a mistake!

King Shuming was speechless upon hearing this.
