In the study room of the Baekje Palace, a dim yellow oil lamp burned quietly, with one or two lanterns popping out from time to time, but no one trimmed the wick at all.

Li Min sat alone under the lamp, holding a just-opened letter in his hand, his face full of grief. The letter in his hand was written by Concubine Yang herself. It was first sent to Dengzhou and then transferred from Dengzhou.

into his hands. As for the content of the letter, it was an extremely sad thing. Li Min's uncle Yang Xian, who had finally survived, passed away due to illness a month ago.

Although Li Min had been mentally prepared for this incident for a long time. After all, Yang Xian was terminally ill and had suffered several life-threatening illnesses before he left Chang'an. But when this incident really came, Li Min still couldn't accept it.

, especially thinking that when Yang Xian passed away, his close nephew could not see him for the last time, which made Li Min feel a little guilty.

In fact, to be honest, Li Min and Yang Min knew each other for a short time, less than a year in total. However, it was within this short period of time that Yang Min and Li Min established a deep friendship.

The family affection, thinking of the two people at the beginning

When they first met in Taiwan, Yang Xun entrusted everything to him and tried his best to help him in all aspects. It was precisely because of Yang Xun's help that Li Min was able to make Taiwan famous in such a short period of time.

development is on the right track.

It is also worth mentioning that except for Li Shimin, most people in the entire Tang Dynasty were very puzzled by Li Min's move to give up the throne. Even Concubine Yang did not approve of his son.

This move, after all, in the eyes of others, is not to ignore the throne and go overseas to deal with students. Isn't this stupid?

Although Yang Xian may not understand that Li Min was forced by industry and commerce to find a long-term development path overseas, he does understand that his nephew is definitely a very smart person. Since he chose to develop overseas

. Then there must be his reasons, so for Li Min's matter, Yang Xian showed his support in every aspect, and even handed over all the Jingwei into his hands. This kind of unconditional trust naturally made Li Min

Yang Jian also became closer.

But it was precisely this kind of person who made Li Min feel very close to him. In the end, he still couldn't get rid of the entanglement of the disease. He just let go when Li Min's overseas plan was just starting. This naturally made Li Min feel extremely sad.

Grief-stricken, since receiving the letter, he locked himself in the study room and sat there alone, motionless.

Although the people around Li Min didn't know what happened, they all knew that his prince had a habit of shutting himself up in the study room when he encountered something difficult to solve, until he thought of a solution.

Will come out. And no one is allowed to disturb me during this period, not even Wen'er and Hua'er.

But today's situation is a bit special. Wen'er and Hua'er saw Li Min's face full of pain after receiving the letter, and since he locked himself in the study in the morning, there has been no movement inside, and until now

It’s almost the third watch, and Li Min hasn’t come out yet, nor has he

They asked people to prepare food. Thinking that His Highness had not eaten two meals, Wen'er and Hua'er outside were naturally very distressed, but they did not dare to rush in. In the end, in desperation, Hua'er thought of something

He immediately took Wen'er to a side hall of the palace.

"You all don't dare to go in, how can I dare to go in?" Jin Shengman twirled her hair and said lazily. She got drunk in the back garden this morning and slept until now. If it weren't for Wen

If Er and Hua'er came to see her, they would probably sleep until tomorrow morning.

"Ren Jin, His Highness has locked himself in the study for almost a whole day. He has not eaten lunch or dinner, and has not even drank. If this continues, I'm afraid his body will not be able to bear it." Wen'er was anxious.

came down.

"Yes, although His Highness would lock himself in the study to think about things in the past, he has never been like this. He was locked up for seven or eight hours at a time, and he didn't even eat. If he continues like this, he will be in trouble.

People like me can't stand it, so please go and have a look!" Hua'er also said anxiously.

Hearing the requests of these two girls, Jin Shengman was also a little worried. After all, Li Min was also her husband, and she was the only one with Li Min now. If there was really something wrong with Li Min's health, I'm afraid she

Life was not easy either.

Thinking of this, Jin Shengman sighed helplessly, stood up and said, "Okay, take me to see it!"

Hearing Jin Shengman's agreement, Wen'er and Hua'er were both relieved. Although they were Li Min's personal maids, they had low status after all, and there were some things they couldn't do. Although Jin Shengman didn't have the same relationship with Li Min,

That's great, but after all, she is from Han, and she is also the Queen of Silla. If she comes forward, even if she disturbs Li Min, there will definitely be no problem.

Jin Shengman had just woken up from drunkenness, and his head still felt a little heavy. He was too lazy to wear any formal clothes, so he put on a fur and followed Wen'er and the others to Li Min's room. Although there were many guards standing outside, there were many guards in the study.

But it was very dark, with dim lights reflecting on the windows. I couldn't tell what Li Min was doing inside?

Jin Shengman walked to the door of the study and asked Wen'er and Hua'er to guard the door. He went up and knocked on the door himself, but heard Li Min inside saying in a very tired voice: "I'm fine, you don't want to

Come and disturb me!"

If it was Wen'er and Hua'er who knocked on the door, they probably wouldn't dare to knock again, but Jin Shengman was different from them. After hearing Li Min's words, instead of leaving, he opened the door and walked in.

Li Min was sitting behind the desk with a sad face, and there were even tears on his face. He didn't expect anyone to dare to come in, so when he saw Jin Shengman, he was stunned at first, and then turned from sadness to anger: "Who let you in?

Yes, get out!"

Jin Shengman didn't expect that Li Min would shed tears, and her expression was blank at the moment. However, she soon regained her composure and turned a deaf ear to Li Min's words. She closed the door first, then gently walked over and sat next to Li Min.

"Is your Highness sad?" he asked.

Li Min saw that Jin Shengman didn't listen to him at all, but he didn't chase people away again. Instead, he snorted and turned away, ignoring Jin Shengman's words. And Jin Shengman had long been used to Li Min.

Min was not angry at Li Min's cold attitude towards him. He leaned over and took a closer look at the letter in Li Min's hand, and soon understood what was going on.

"Your Highness, the dead cannot be resurrected, so you should take good care of yourself!" Jin Shengman sighed. She didn't expect that Li Min had such an affectionate side and was so sad because of the death of her uncle.

Locking herself in the study without eating or drinking was completely opposite to the cold and cruel His Highness King Qi in her heart.

At this time, Li Min also discovered that Jin Shengman was reading the letter in his hand. He immediately snorted again with great dissatisfaction, then put the letter away and said: "If it weren't for your Silla and Baekje affairs, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.

I will leave Chang'an in such a hurry. If I don't leave Chang'an, I can still spend more time with my uncle, but now we are separated by Yin and Yang, and we will never see each other again!"

Li Min's words can be said to be strong words, or they can be said to be out of anger. After all, Silla and Baekje didn't invite you. If it weren't for Li Min, maybe both countries would be fine, and they wouldn't be as ruined as they are now.

Already.

As the Queen of Silla, Jin Shengman was naturally very angry at Li Min's words, but she also knew that these were Li Min's angry words, so she quickly calmed down her anger and changed the subject: "Your Highness, since uncle

It’s already passed away, so it’s no longer useful to talk about it. It’s better to think about the next thing.”

"What's next?" Li Min changed his attention upon hearing this, and at the same time his mind became clearer.

When Jin Shengman saw that Li Min had fallen into the trap, he deliberately showed a sad expression and said: "Husband, since my uncle is the former Sui prince, he must be buried with his grandfather, and my grandfather's mausoleum is in Yangzhou, so my uncle's coffin must also be buried together."

Sent there for burial, and

Your Highness, you are in Dengzhou, and His Highness the King of Wu is in Shanghai, so my uncle’s funeral procession will definitely take the waterway, passing through Dengzhou and entering the sea, and then arriving in Yangzhou. In this way, both Your Highness and the King of Wu can greet my uncle on the road.

Coffin, let’s go to Yangzhou together then.”

Jin Shengman's analysis is reasonable. After all, Yang Jian has a special status and does not have many relatives. As Li Min and Li Ke are nephews, they naturally have to attend his funeral. In addition, if they want to go to Yangzhou from Chang'an, they have to take the waterway.

It is also faster. Li Min and Li Ke can also meet the funeral procession on the road, so Li Min may have to go back to Dengzhou.

After Jin Shengman's reminder, Li Min also thought of this. Now is not the time to grieve, he must first settle the three Hanzhous he captured, and then rush back to Dengzhou immediately to wait for the funeral procession of Yang Xian.

Come, and then rush to Yangzhou together, but I don’t know who is in the funeral procession this time. I think my grandmother and Cai’er will definitely come, and my aunt Princess Nanyang should be there too. As for my mother, Concubine Yang, I don’t know if my father, Li Shimin, will come.

Will they be released?

Thinking of this, Li Min finally cheered up. Jin Shengman next to him also noticed the changes in Li Min. He was relieved and immediately had some simple meals prepared. After all, Li Min hadn't eaten anything all day, and he

In the next few days, we have to deal with matters in Baekje as soon as possible, so we can't do it without taking good care of our health.

Li Min didn't have any appetite at first, but after Jin Shengman's persuasion, he finally had to eat some. But under the dim light, Li Min couldn't help but look at Jin Shengman who was gently carrying vegetables for him.
