After hearing this, Li Chengqian looked at Empress Changsun who had a deep look in her eyes, half-smiling but not smiling, and smiled sheepishly.
"The kid knows that he can't hide it from his mother. Yes, fortunately, the kid listened to Brother Chu Bi's words before and made preparations early, otherwise..."
Upon hearing Cheng Sanlang's name, Queen Changsun couldn't help shaking her head and laughing out loud.
"That's right. When Cheng Sanlang is the only one who takes advantage, others want to make him suffer, haha..."
"Only your father and your grandfather can control him a little, but the others can."
After hearing his mother's comments, Li Chengqian couldn't help but grin and nodded in agreement.
Looking at Li Chengqian, Queen Changsun explained with a very cautious expression.
"You are a kind and honest gentleman. Fortunately, you have people like Cheng Sanlang by your side to give you advice.
If something is unresolved and Cheng Sanlang is not by your side, you can still come to look for your mother, do you understand?"
Li Chengqian looked at his mother who looked serious in front of him. Although he didn't know why his mother's tone suddenly changed, he still nodded in agreement honestly.
"It's a good thing that you are prepared in advance, but the burning of the "Datang Pharmacopoeia" at this time not only affects the compilation of the Pharmacopoeia in the East Palace.
If it is done improperly, you may even be implicated, do you understand?"
"???" Li Chengqian looked at his mother who had a very serious expression in confusion, somewhat confused as to what he meant.
Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Empress Changsun calmed down and said.
"If there is a minister who impeaches you, he has other motives and burns himself the "Datang Pharmacopoeia" in order to make Your Majesty vent his anger on others..."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyes widened in an exaggerated way, with a look of astonishment on his face.
However, just because Li Chengqian has a kind-hearted nature, it does not mean that he is not smart and he reacted instantly.
If someone is really making trouble like this, it's really hard to say, especially since there are many ministers in the court who are at odds with him.
It is even possible that they will use this reason as a weapon to attack themselves. As the saying goes, everyone speaks for themselves...
Seeing Li Chengqian's sinking expression, Empress Changsun shook Li Chengqian's arm and woke him up.
"If you go to see your father later, remember to report the truth and don't hide anything. Do you understand?"
After hearing her mother's cautious advice, she thought of what Brother Chu Bi had said before she came.
Li Chengqian nodded solemnly. "Okay, kid, remember, um... mother and kid go to see father together?"
"No, Mom still has some things to think about. You can go alone. Don't worry, that's your father. He will definitely be on your side."
Li Chengqian stood up, bowed respectfully to his mother, and hurried away.
Empress Changsun looked at the background of Li Chengqian's departure and couldn't help but sigh softly.
As a mother, she certainly wanted to be by her son's side, but Empress Changsun knew very well that it would be inappropriate for her and Cheng Qian to meet her husband.
Although there are some things that cannot be said, Empress Changsun knows very well that she also hopes to avoid changes like the Yang family in the previous dynasty.
In order to prevent father and son from being suspicious, and to make her husband feel that they were a family, Empress Changsun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there is Xiao Sizi, the interpreter, to share some of the pressure for him. If this girl gets married in the future, she will have to be allowed to walk around the palace more.

"Chengqian, why are you here? Come to my father quickly."
Seeing Li Chengqian walking quickly and greeting him politely, Li Shimin gently waved his hand to signal him to sit down.
Seeing the urgent note on the desk, I couldn't help but sigh again.
"Father, what troubles have you encountered?" Before Li Chengqian could speak, he saw his father's frown and asked with concern.
"The Wei River in Guanzhong Huazhou burst its banks, and the affected area accounts for one-third of Huazhou."
"My father has just ordered the three provinces and six ministries to step up their efforts to deal with this matter. However, as a result, Chang'an's grain reserves will have to be used up a lot."
Having said this, Li Shimin couldn't help but muttered in pain.
"I'm afraid that this year, as a father, I will be like the food-seeking emperor that Mr. Cheng calls him again."
After hearing his father's self-deprecating words, Li Chengqian's expression became ferocious and twisted, and he finally managed to control himself.
Xuanji couldn't help but feel a little sad. He had originally wanted to take his father's place on the eastward tour and jump to Luoyang to have some fun with Brother Chu Bi.
Unexpectedly, my father was already thinking about traveling eastward.
It seemed that he could only stay alone and cold in Chang'an City, watching helplessly as the whole family rushed to Dongdu in search of food.
Seeing Li Chengqian's gloomy and lost look, Li Shimin, who might have been mistaken, personally gave Li Chengqian a cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea that could clear the liver, improve eyesight, and maintain health.
"Well, there is nothing I can do about it. If I don't leave, Guanzhong will definitely see a sharp rise in food prices due to lack of food. By then..."
"What my father said is absolutely true. My father is willing to be a food hunter in order to alleviate the suffering of the common people in Guanzhong..."
Looking at this kind and honest eldest son, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little guilty. This year, he was afraid that he would have to be thrown into Chang'an again to continue to supervise the country.
In fact, the so-called supervising the country is just a name. After all, after he left, almost all the civil and military officials left with him.
It means that the political center of the Tang Dynasty has been transferred. Chengqian stayed here to supervise the country. In fact, it means that the capital of the Tang Dynasty is here.
"Okay, okay, Chengqian, why did you come to find your father?"
Li Chengqian followed his mother's instructions and bowed respectfully to his father before answering.
"Father, I came here to apologize. Just now there was a fire in the Chongren Hall in the East Palace."
"...Did it hurt anyone's life?" Li Shimin frowned slightly and asked with concern. "How about my daughter-in-law and my darling grandson?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and explained carefully, without hurting anyone.
However, about one-third of the manuscripts and materials of the "Datang Pharmacopoeia" retained in the East Palace were damaged.
What is gratifying is that the "Datang Pharmacopoeia" is in triplicate. Only the set in the East Palace was damaged, and the other two sets were intact.
"There was a fire during the day..." Li Shimin's expression hardly changed, except for a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Has anyone found out who did it?"
Li Chengqian hung his head with shame on his face. "My son has been searching for a long time, but he has not been able to find out who set the fire."
"There was a fire in the East Palace, and the manuscript of the Pharmacopoeia of the Tang Dynasty was damaged. It was because of the child's lax control, and it almost..."
Li Shimin raised his hand and waved, motioning for Li Chengqian to sit closer.
"Okay, sit down, come on, talk to your father about what's going on..."
