Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

Three days passed in a flash. Jiang Fan, carrying all the supplies he had purchased and with Xiao Sizi, returned directly to the Fengyang Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as I drove out of the gate, I saw Cheng Yaojin sitting on the ground, idly counting ants.

Hearing the car, Cheng Yaojin quickly turned around and looked back: "Young master, you're finally back!"

"(⊙o⊙) Huh? Uncle Cheng, you... what are you doing here?"

"Yes, yes, young master, you've finally arrived. His Majesty suddenly fell ill today."

Master Sun is currently keeping watch over His Majesty. Although His Majesty has already taken the medicine prescribed by Master Sun, there is still no sign of him waking up.

The Empress instructed me to stay at Fengyang Pavilion and rush there as soon as the young master returns—it's extremely urgent!

Hearing this, Jiang Fan was also taken aback. When he left, Li Shimin seemed perfectly normal, full of energy.

He didn't seem sick at all. How could he have fallen ill so soon after I left? That can't be right.

However, although Xiao Sizi was very worried after hearing this, she subconsciously said something to Jiang Fan:

"Hey buddy, is Grandpa...is he lost? Can we start our meal now?"

Jiang Fan: "!@#￥%……&*" I didn't hear anything, it's none of my business.

Cheng Yaojin: "..." How did I suddenly go deaf? But the timing of my deafness is perfect.

……

Without further ado, Jiang Fan called Cheng Yaojin into the carriage, stepped on the gas, and headed straight for Ganlu Palace.

Because Li Shimin fainted in the Ganlu Hall, right at his post.

He truly deserves to be called the workaholic of the Tang Dynasty, and indeed, the most outstanding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Jiang Fan was deeply impressed by this work ethic.

As soon as Jiang Fan got out of the car after arriving at Ganlu Palace, Cheng Yaojin grabbed him and dragged him inside.

Jiang Fan could even feel his feet leaving the ground, moving at incredible speed, but his legs seemed to have become... useless.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't panic! The young master has returned! You are saved..."

Cheng Yaojin grabbed Jiang Fan and ran while shouting loudly.

Upon hearing the voice, Sun Simiao suddenly stood up and was about to go forward to greet Jiang Fan.

As soon as Sun Simiao got up, he saw that Jiang Fan had already been dragged to his front by Cheng Yaojin.

"Young...young man, you must be tired from your long journey!"

After exchanging a polite greeting, Sun Simiao began to explain Li Shimin's illness to Jiang Fan.

Sun Simiao diagnosed Li Shimin with fainting spells and a weak pulse, and also prescribed acupuncture.

However, there was no significant improvement, so they could only wait for Jiang Fan to return.

He used his unpredictable and mysterious methods to further diagnose and treat the patient.

After listening to Sun Simiao's introduction, Jiang Fan dared not be negligent.

Little Sizi watched Li Shimin fall into a coma, and at this moment, she stopped clamoring for the feast. Instead, tears welled up in her large, beautiful eyes.

Then, large tears slowly dripped down her cheeks, and her little mouth pouted:

"Grandpa, please don't get up, you can't stand this bed anymore, please, Grandpa, get up quickly..."

Jiang Fan then asked Sun Simiao, "Master Sun, in your opinion..."

My aunt's husband must be suffering from the same illness as the late Emperor Emeritus, right?

After listening, Sun Simiao nodded slightly: "Based on my many years of experience, it is undoubtedly a wind-related illness. But His Majesty usually takes medicine to regulate his body, so how could this be..."

Jiang Fan shook his head and said, "He must have forgotten to take his medicine, definitely. But judging from the looks of it, it's just fainting caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain and damp heat. There shouldn't be any bleeding or damage to the blood vessels in his brain."

But just to be on the safe side, I'll take my aunt's husband with me for further checkups.

If only the hospitals of the Tang Dynasty could be built and put into use sooner, that would be so much better; at least it would be much easier to see a doctor…”

Empress Zhangsun, who was standing to the side, felt much less worried when she heard that Erlang was to be taken to a hospital in the future for treatment. The unpredictable devices and treatments in the hospitals of the future were almost like divine intervention. She was sure that Erlang would be able to recover from his critical condition once he arrived in the future.

Thinking of this, Empress Zhangsun said to Jiang Fan, "Jiang Fan, how about your aunt comes along too and takes care of your uncle?"

"Auntie, you're going too? What will happen to Datang? Who will be in charge?"

"Let Gao Ming temporarily oversee the country, and let the retired emperor provide guidance from the sidelines. This should be able to stabilize the court."

After listening to Empress Zhangsun's suggestion, Jiang Fan turned to Cheng Yaojin and asked, "Uncle Cheng, what do you think?"

"Young master, please don't joke. This is a matter of great importance to the court, and I dare not comment on it. However, I, Old Cheng, will do my utmost to assist the Crown Prince."

Empress Zhangsun nodded slightly to Cheng Yaojin: "In that case, I'll trouble Duke Lu!"

At this moment, Zhang Anan hurriedly went to the Eastern Palace to convey the imperial edict to Li Chenggan: the Crown Prince was to oversee the country. Such an important matter would not be acceptable if the Crown Prince himself were not present. Moreover, since His Majesty had fainted and fallen ill, the Crown Prince should be by his side to attend to him.

The reason why Li Chenggan has not been notified to come over yet is because Empress Zhangsun did not intend to let the princes know that Li Shimin had fallen ill, so as to avoid causing unnecessary turmoil.

When Jiang Fan returns, this problem will no longer exist, because Jiang Fan was able to cure even the retired emperor's serious illness, let alone the younger Li Shimin.

Soon, Li Chengan rushed to Li Shimin's side, covered in sweat. Seeing Li Shimin lying unconscious on the bed, Li Chengan was startled:

"Grandpa, Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Wake up..."

Li Chengan immediately collapsed before Li Shimin's bedside, even though he had a leg injury.

But she still knelt down, buried her head deep in Li Shimin's chest, and wept bitterly.

Finally, Empress Zhangsun intervened and called Li Chenggan to his feet: "Gao Ming, as the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future heir apparent, what kind of decorum is this, crying and sobbing like this? Stand up now!"

"Mother, Father... your child..."

"Gao Ming, listen to me! Although your grandfather is ill, the Tang Dynasty cannot fall. From now on, you will shoulder the heavy responsibility of overseeing the country. In addition, your grandfather will also help you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengan was startled, his face filled with surprise: "Mother, why do you say such a thing? I absolutely did not..."

"Your mother knows you have no ambition for the throne, but right now, Jiang Fan needs to take your grandfather to get medical treatment, so the Tang Dynasty is in your hands while he's away. You must shoulder this responsibility, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian knelt heavily before Empress Zhangsun: "Your son... will follow Mother's teachings and will never disappoint Mother and Father."
