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

After hearing what Su Wan said, Su Gui vaguely sensed that Li Chengqian's situation was indeed not good: "Sister, if Li Chengqian is unable to inherit the throne in the future, won't you be unable to become empress?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wan rolled her eyes at him: "What empress or not, I don't care about those empty titles."

The crucial question now is whether Li Chengqian can save his life.

"Sis, is it as serious as you say?"

"It's probably more serious than I'm making it out to be."

"Really? Then what should we do?"

"I'll take care of things in Chang'an first, then head to the Wa (Japanese) Kingdom to find Li Chenggan."

I want to be with the Crown Prince.

"What?"

"Are you going to the Wa (Japanese) Kingdom?"

"Yes.

The prince is in great danger over there; I must bring him back as soon as possible.

He was kind-hearted and thought everyone was so good to him, making him easily deceived.

Su Gui was worried about his sister going to the Japanese kingdom alone: ​​"Then I'll go with you."

"Don't you still have a lot of things to do?"

"That's alright, I'll just ask Chang He for leave."

"That works too," Su Wan nodded in agreement.

Just then, Qu Zhili rushed in from outside, drenched in sweat and panting, "Princess Consort, I've finally found you."

Seeing Qu Zhili's flustered appearance, Su Wan frowned and asked, "Princess, what happened? Why are you so flustered?"

"Empress Zhangsun was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted." Qu Zhili was out of breath and gasped for a long time.

"How could such a thing happen?" Su Wan couldn't help but ask.

"Consort Yan got drunk and went to the Lizheng Hall to argue with Empress Zhangsun."

She said that Li Xiao's death was the result of Empress Zhangsun's curse behind his back.

Otherwise, Li Xiao wouldn't have died.

Upon hearing Consort Yan's words, Empress Zhangsun was so angry that she vomited blood and lost her mind.

"That damned woman is insane. How could Empress Zhangsun do such a thing?"

Consort Yan, relying on the Emperor's favor, completely disregarded everyone else.

How dare they cause trouble for Empress Zhangsun? This is outrageous! They've really gone too far!

"Your Highness, please calm down and think about what to do about this," Qu Zhili advised.

Su Wan pondered for a moment, then said to Su Gui, "You stay here and keep watch, and don't let anything else go wrong."

"Don't worry, sis, leave this to me."

"Princess, let's go!"

It was the third watch of the night.

Lizheng Hall.

When Su Wan and Qu Zhili arrived,

Cai Xiang was crying to the side, holding a handkerchief in her hand, wiping away her tears.

Looking at Empress Zhangsun, she lay stiffly on the couch, her face pale, her eyes closed, and she had lost consciousness.

Su Wan then asked Cai Xiang, "What exactly happened?"

When Cai Xiang saw Su Wan and Qu Zhili arrive, she stood up, stopped crying, and bowed: "Crown Princess, Princess, I don't know who lent Consort Yan such courage."

She drank a few cups of cat urine and dared to come here and cause a drunken scene.

She demanded that Empress Zhangsun return her son.

Empress Zhangsun was baffled and had no idea what had happened.

However, to everyone's surprise, the woman became so agitated that she acted as if she had gone mad, lunging forward to tear at Empress Zhangsun's clothes.

When did Empress Zhangsun experience something like this?

then,

He was so angry that he fainted, and then he vomited blood.

Seeing this, I quickly went forward to argue with Consort Yan.

Consort Yan then left in a huff.

Empress Zhangsun is now unconscious, what should we do?

After hearing this, Su Wan and Qu Zhili both felt that the situation was quite serious.

Because in Su Wan's memory, Consort Yan was also very powerful.

However, it shouldn't be this arrogant. Why is it acting out of character this time?

Su Wan then asked, "Have you consulted the imperial physician?"

"The imperial physicians came, but they were helpless," Cai Xiang replied truthfully.

"They said the Queen's illness was very peculiar, unlike any other illness."

Upon hearing this, Su Wan frowned: "Does the Emperor know about this?"

"We still don't know."

"Go and report to the Emperor immediately."

"promise!"

Cai Xiang agreed and turned to leave.

Su Wan came to the bedside and took Empress Zhangsun's hand.

However, they discovered that Empress Zhangsun's hands were ice-cold and there were still traces of blood at the corners of her mouth.

Su Wan took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped away the bloodstains from the corner of Empress Zhangsun's mouth.

"Queen, queen..."

Su Wan called out several times, but Empress Zhangsun did not respond.

Qu Zhili seemed somewhat flustered: "Your Highness, His Highness is not in Chang'an. What if something happens to the Empress?"

Su Wan rested her chin on her hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Last time, when Sun Simiao treated Empress Zhangsun, he told her not to get angry for a hundred days."

otherwise,

"Then their lives will be in danger."

"Your life is in danger?" Qu Zhili was very surprised.

"Yes, it seems we'll have to go to Sun Simiao about this."

Where is Doctor Sun?

"Sun Simiao was a man who disliked being an official and was indifferent to fame and fortune."

He and his disciple Lu Zhaolin traveled to Penglai Island, where they lived in seclusion.

"Penglai Island is thousands of miles away from here, and it takes time to travel back and forth."

"Let's wait until His Majesty has come to see this before we discuss it further."

Cai Xiang has been gone for some time now.

Su Wan waited and waited, but the Emperor did not appear, and Li Shimin was nowhere to be seen. She was very anxious.

Su Wan thought to herself, what is the Emperor busy with all day long? Empress Zhangsun is in such a state, yet he is not worried at all.

The bedroom of Consort Yan.

At this moment, Consort Yan was perfectly sober and showed no signs of being drunk.

She was admiring a pair of crystal-clear jade bracelets, completely captivated by them.

It's clear that the jade bracelet is extremely precious and priceless.

Li Tai stood respectfully to the side, his hands clasped at his sides. On the surface, his attitude was quite respectful.

Li Tai was determined to seize the position of crown prince, but he could not find a way to break through.

When he went to Fang Xuanling for advice, Fang Xuanling gave him a suggestion: to take a roundabout route.

Fang Xuanling believed that the attitudes of the concubines in the harem were of paramount importance.

Fang Xuanling told Li Tai that one of the main reasons Yang Guang was able to become the crown prince was that Empress Dugu was very dissatisfied with Crown Prince Yang Yong.

Ultimately, Yang Yong was crippled.

Yang Guang then had his chance.

Currently, in the palace, Empress Zhangsun is fully supporting Li Chengqian.

At the beginning,

Li Chenggan has a leg ailment.

Some people feel that Li Chengqian lacks the countenance of an emperor.

If Li Chengqian were to become emperor in the future, it would damage the image of the Tang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengan had a chance encounter with Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao cured Li Chengqian's leg ailment.

Those people couldn't find any other reason, so they just nitpicked.

Under Fang Xuanling's guidance, Li Tai befriended and won over some of the concubines in the harem.

This includes the Queen Consort of Chao and the Consort Xian of Yan,

Li Tai immediately felt much stronger in his back.
