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

Empress Zhangsun sat up straight, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Consort Xu, don't try to comfort me. Things are definitely not as simple as you think."

Objectively speaking,

If it's just a conflict between Chengqian and his father, the emperor...

It's probably not that complicated.

However, too many people and things were involved in this.

"It's probably unlikely that the Emperor will issue an edict to restore Chengqian's status as Crown Prince, cough cough..."

Empress Zhangsun coughed incessantly as she spoke, and then spat out another mouthful of blood.

This really terrified Xu Hui.

Because she had heard Su Wan say that the Empress could not tolerate being mistreated, and that if her old illness relapsed, it would be quite dangerous.

Xu Hui gently patted Empress Zhangsun's back and asked with concern, "Empress, are you alright?"

Don't scare me.

Empress Zhangsun, panting for a long time, leaned back against the pillow, saying breathlessly, "As you can see, I'm afraid my days are numbered."

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, please don't say that. You're still young." Xu Hui said this, but she was also a little flustered inside.

She noticed that Empress Zhangsun was pale, sweating, and bleeding from the corner of her mouth. What if something really happened to Empress Zhangsun?

After catching her breath for a while, Empress Zhangsun suddenly rolled her eyes upward and lost consciousness.

Xu Hui became even more nervous upon seeing this. She quickly summoned Cai Xiang and said to her, "Go and fetch the imperial physician immediately."

Cai Xiang frowned upon hearing this: "Consort Xu, it's not that I don't want to invite the imperial physician, but even Zhang Baozang, after examining the patient, was at a loss. What hope is there for anyone else?"

Xu Hui suddenly remembered Sun Simiao and asked, "Where is Sun Simiao?"

"I don't know. That old man comes and goes without a trace, and he has a strange temper."

I've heard he's dissatisfied with many of His Majesty's actions; even if we find him, we probably won't be able to persuade him to leave.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hui became even more anxious: "According to you, is there really no way?"

Are we just supposed to watch the Queen's condition worsen?

Cai Xiang thought for a moment and said, "The only way is to find the Crown Prince and have him go to Sun Simiao."

The Crown Prince and Sun Simiao had a deep connection, and only the Crown Prince could persuade Sun Simiao to come to his aid!

Xu Hui was already uncertain, and now she didn't even know where Li Chengqian was.

Moreover, the relationship between Li Chenggan and Li Shimin was very strained, to the point of irreconcilable differences.

Cai Xiang complained, "I really don't know what's wrong with His Majesty; he hasn't come to visit the Empress."

Now that the Empress is pregnant, if anything were to happen to her, it would mean two lives lost.

"Please don't misunderstand, Your Majesty, you've just had too much to drink."

Once he sobers up, he will naturally come to visit the Empress.

"To be honest, I feel that His Majesty no longer cares for and loves the Empress as much as before. In the past, if the Empress had any health problems, His Majesty would have been extremely worried. But now, even if the Empress vomits blood and falls into a coma, His Majesty doesn't seem to care."

Has the Emperor's affections shifted to this extent?

Xu Hui blushed upon hearing this, because she felt as if Cai Xiang was talking about her.

"Let's not discuss those things for now. The most important thing now is to find the Crown Prince and ask him to invite Sun Simiao to treat the Empress."

Otherwise, the Empress and the child in her womb would be in danger,” Xu Hui said.

Where can we find him?
