Li Chengqian was in a coma and didn't say a word.Haitang put her face on his forehead and said in tears: "Your Highness—you have had such a difficult life! When your father was not enthroned, his enemies poured hatred on you. You have been frightened since childhood. How many times You almost died; when you become a prince, your brothers are plotting against you one after another, wishing to hear your bad news sooner. Now, even the queen mother is so cruel and has abandoned you!" Empress Zhangsun had tears in her eyes, mouth But Shang said sternly: "Crown Princess! You talk too much!"

Haitang turned around and said to the queen angrily: "People are dying, why don't you let me say a few words? Is there a mother like you in the world? Watching her son die, she just won't let anyone save him." , Is your heart made of flesh? It’s you, kill him with your own hands!” Empress Changsun suddenly became agitated, with tears in her eyes, pointing at her unconscious son, “Even if the doctor cured him , he will seek death himself! What's the use of saving him?" At this moment, a voice came from a distance: "The emperor is here!" Empress Changsun trembled and almost fell, Jing Ming hurriedly supported her.Empress Changsun took out a piece of yellowed paper from her sleeve and ordered: "Crown Princess, call someone to grab the medicine!" As she spoke, a line of tears had already flowed down from her eyes.

Li Shimin walked into the East Palace and saw Li Chengqian in a coma at a glance. He could no longer restrain his love for the calf. He stepped forward, touched his son's forehead, tucked the quilt for him, and stood there for a long time without saying a word. by the bed.All the people did not dare to speak and watched him silently.After the medicine was cooked, Haitang took the medicine soup and walked to the bedside hesitantly, Li Shimin stretched out his hand: "Give it to me." Haitang couldn't believe his ears, and he said again: "Give me the medicine. Only then did Haitang wake up, and handed the medicine bowl to his hand. The emperor who was admired by thousands of people sat on the edge of the bed, gently scooped up a spoonful of medicine soup, and slowly brought it to his son's mouth.Li Chengqian had already woken up, and suddenly saw that his father was feeding him the medicine, tears welled up in his eyes, he choked up and called out: "Father!" Li Shimin said to his son in a soft tone, "Drink it while it's hot." Li Chengqian opened his mouth to drink the concoction in the spoon, and Empress Changsun beside him was blurred by tears, not knowing whether it was sadness or joy.

One night passed, the wind stopped, white belly appeared in the sky, and a few magpies were singing on the branches.After taking the medicine, the prince woke up from a deep sleep. His whole body looked like he had been fished out of the water, and his lips were covered with blisters.Empress Changsun stroked his forehead and said lovingly: "Well, the fever is gone, what do you think now?" Li Chengqian said in a hoarse voice, "It's much better, the headache doesn't hurt anymore." Haitang knelt at the side and said apologetically, "Queen Mother, I have wronged you, and I deserve death." Although Empress Changsun was very tired, her spirits were much better. Is it all because I can't let him go? My daughter-in-law feels sorry for my son, and it's too late for me to be happy!"

Haitang picked up the piece of paper and asked: "Mother, what kind of prescription is this?" Empress Changsun replied: "I also suffered from tuberculosis before, coughing up a lot of blood, and almost died. At that time, there was a man named Sun He in the palace. The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription for me and saved me." Haitang said with lingering fear, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, I was almost scared to death." Empress Changsun looked at her son on the bed and said to her daughter-in-law: " Don't talk about you, I don't know if this old prescription will help Qian'er! Alas, we finally invited the emperor into the East Palace! Regardless of any medicine, it can only prolong the stay Gan'er's veins, only your father's medicine can bring back Gan'er's soul!" Haitang looked at the eldest grandson empress with sincere admiration in her heart, and she said: "Thank you, queen mother, you saved His Highness, and you will also be able to save your highness." Taught my son how to be a woman in the palace."

Empress Changsun's bitter tricks were not in vain, and the tragic situation of her son struggling in the danger of dying aroused infinite fatherly love in Li Shimin's heart.He quickly ordered that Li Chengqian come out to help Changsun Wuji coordinate the transfer of money and food from Yangzhou to the capital after he recovered from his illness.Those courtiers with keen political sense have already seen from this change that the tense relationship between the emperor and the prince began to recover for a while. In Xinghua Village's restaurant, Botie was sitting at a table by the window. Outside the window, there was a group of soldiers marching northward on the street.Xiaoer served the food and wine with a look of graciousness, Bo Tie looked at the street scene, and asked casually, "Xiaoer, why have you been in the army all day long?" Xiaoer replied, "These are all newly conscripted soldiers , I heard it was to fight Hu Kou." Bo Tie nodded and said: "So, a big battle is going to happen soon?" Xiaoer said: "Isn't it!"

At this time, a fat man walked to the table and cupped his fists and said, "Boss Boss, I've kept you waiting!" Bo Tie looked up and saw that it was one of his subordinates, so he pretended to be a businessman and said, "You're welcome, I am too. Just arrived." Waiting for Xiao Er to leave, Bo Tie asked the fat man about the grain shipment in a low voice, and the fat man told him that in order to beg them to put his son back earlier, Dou Yi gave 500,000 shixin rice at a time, scoring points Five times to ship back. Bo Tie said with emotion: "The Dou family is really rich and powerful! Send someone back to report the good news to Da Khan, so that he can prepare for it." The fat man replied "Yes", and then laughed flatteringly: "The family has been short of food for a long time. You got back so much food all at once, which is quite a feat." Botie showed a smug smile on his face, took a sip from his cup and said, "This thing is done, we should do another thing Alright, have you heard about the situation?"

The fat man lowered his voice: "Go back to my lord, I have found out clearly. After they took the young master to Chang'an, they have handed over to Honglu Temple. This matter is under the control of Honglu Chengquan Wanji." Botie patted the fat man on the shoulder, Complimented: "Okay, this job is well done! Have you inquired about this Quan Wanji's hobbies?" The fat man said: "I have inquired, this person is lustful." Bo Tie slapped his thigh: "He likes this one , then things will be easy to handle!" He sent someone to call Dou Yi, and asked him which brothel in Chang'an had more beauties.Dou Ai didn't know this way, but fortunately Dou Fu knew a little bit about it, and told him that most of the brothels in Chang'an City were in Pingkangfang, there were official prostitutes and private prostitutes, most of the official prostitutes were kabuki, and they were usually from families who committed crimes and were confiscated. women, and there are many orchids among these private prostitutes, who sell themselves as artisans.I heard that there is a Wanchunfang where there are some stunning prostitutes.Bo Tie said: "Then let's go to Wanchunfang to have a look."

When he arrived at Wanchunfang, Dou Fu asked the bustard to find some high-quality goods.After a while, the bustard brought over a few painted women.When Bo Tie saw it, he shook his head again and again, and scolded: "This is also high-quality goods? Thanks to you, you can get it." The old bustard quickly waved Ropa, and all the prostitutes retreated.After a while, a turtle slave came in with some good-looking young women in fresh clothes. They looked much better than the previous ones. The old bustard said with a smile on his face, "Well, these guys are okay, this is all from Yangzhou." The girl who came here can hold all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Bo Tie leaned in front of a woman, stretched out his hand and squeezed her chin with a lewd expression: "Well, this woman still looks good, how much does she want to redeem herself? ?” The bustard held out three fingers.

Dou Fu stuck out his tongue and said, "Three thousand dollars?" He waved his hand at him, and with a poignant smile, he approached Bo Tie and said, "My lord, are you satisfied with this?"
