Chapter 2532 I made up my mind and started to help Li Chengqian
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun returned to Wencheng Hall again, and the couple sat facing each other.
On the table, the candle flames flickered, and the steam on the iron stove sizzled softly.
Zhao Kun and Hu Shanggong both stood quietly at the entrance of the palace, looking solemnly at the His Majesty and the Queen who were sitting opposite each other.
Zhao Kun couldn't help but whispered to Hu Shanggong, "Hu Shanggong, how long have you and the empress been here?"
Hu Shanggong didn't hide anything, he sighed softly and explained in a low voice.
"It's been a long time, and my queen has heard everything that should be heard."
Zhao Kun couldn't help but smacked his mouth. It was really embarrassing this time.
Li Shimin opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to explain it. After all, he didn't know how much his beloved wife Guanyin, who was now expressionless, understood.
Fortunately, Queen Changsun, who has always been very good at controlling her emotions, took the initiative to speak.
"I know that my husband always makes plans before taking action when doing things. From my point of view, my husband's actions today are clearly intentional..."
Li Shimin let out a long sigh, looked at Queen Changsun, and explained patiently.
"Well, I did do it intentionally for my husband, but I didn't really want Cheng Qian to do that."
Empress Changsun just raised her eyebrows slightly, waiting for her husband's next explanation.
"Guanyin Maid, you must also know that Cheng Qian has experienced many twists and turns in his growth, but his ambition is very strong. This makes me happy, but also makes me worry."
"Being humble and broad-minded are essential qualities for an emperor.
However, it lacks thunderous means and sharp edge, which is Chengqian's shortcoming."
"My husband is getting older and older, how long can he be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Husband!" Empress Changsun's face changed slightly and she called out in a low voice.
"Don't worry, my husband can still support me now, but if something happens to my husband.
Guanyin, do you think Prince Yi can handle the next situation?"
Empress Changsun looked blankly at her husband in front of her, watching him continue to talk.
Queen Changsun is naturally very aware of the weaknesses of her eldest son Cheng Qian, not to mention the more dangerous court.
Even the East Palace, which is like a fence, is now difficult for the prince to control. This is the most worrying thing.
Although the prince may have wanted to avoid suspicion, Empress Changsun was actually a little worried.
The husband is getting older and older, and when the time comes, the person who ascends the throne and controls the power of the Tang Dynasty will be the prince.
If the prince lacks the means to be courteous to his husband, he is afraid that he will really cause a stir when he ascends the throne. If he is not careful, no one can tell what the consequences will be.
"I almost blamed my husband by mistake..."
Empress Changsun took the initiative to move to Li Shimin's side, caressing his increasingly silvery temples, feeling distressed.
Li Shimin held his wife's delicate hand and showed a relieved smile.
"It's my husband's fault. If I had known, Maid Guanyin, that you could understand my feelings, I shouldn't have hidden it from you in the first place."
"My husband wants to see how far he can go, if he is too lenient.
Then it would be better for my husband to clear some thorns for him as soon as possible, and hope that when he sits in this position in the future, it will be smoother."
Empress Changsun snuggled into her husband's arms, patted her husband's back gently, and nodded slightly.
At this moment, she still didn't understand that her husband, who was getting older, had probably made up his mind and started to help Li Chengqian.
Also, since the previous dynasty, no prince has been able to safely succeed to the throne.
My husband hopes that Li Chengqian, a kindhearted prince with a gentle nature and broad mind, can safely take on this important task.
"Husband, if this happens, I'm afraid it will be very painful for you, husband..."
"What I do is for the whole world. What I do is that our Tang Dynasty can carry on the past and open up the future, and prosper for eternity."
Empress Changsun looked blankly into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart...
#####
Li Chengqian was sitting in the carriage, and the two short beards on his face that were originally fluttering seemed to have drooped down just like his depressed mood.
Sitting blankly in the swaying carriage, my father's words today were echoing in my mind.
In addition, the repeated exchanges between him and Li You in the imperial villa made his mind a mess.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." At this moment, Ning Zhong's cautious voice came from outside the carriage.
Li Chengqian seemed to have been summoned back to his soul, and his eyes finally slowly focused on Ning Zhong, who had opened the car curtain in front of him.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the East Palace. The guard at the palace gate said that Yu Zhanshi, Taibao Xiao Cheng and General Fang are still in the palace at this moment, waiting to see you."
At this moment, Li Chengqian, who was originally dull-eyed, seemed to have had a tube of chicken blood injected into his buttocks, and his whole body suddenly became energetic again.
"Brother Chu Bi is here too? Come on, come on, where are they? Take Gu over there quickly."
Li Chengqian jumped out of the carriage happily and gave instructions repeatedly.

"Three twos and a three... Hey, Yu Zhan, can you please stop being so distracted? It's time for you to play your cards."
After Cheng Chubi took the photo of one-on-three, he saw Yu Zhanshi holding a bamboo sign with dull eyes, and couldn't help but remind him.
"Oh...it's my turn, right? I'll explode."
"???" Cheng Chubi's eyes suddenly bulged to the extreme. Looking at the cards that Yu Zhanshi had dropped on the card table, he suddenly felt bad.
"Yu Zhanshi, what are you doing? We are peasants, and Fang Erlang is the landlord, okay? I only have one card left, and you are actually blowing me up?"
Fang Jun on the side almost burst into laughter, but when he saw Brother Chu Bi looking extremely angry, he wisely controlled his expression and shook his head to express that he couldn't afford it.
"...You didn't remind me. If you get out, you'll get out. I'll be six."
"A seven."
"...Go!" Cheng Chubi looked at the remaining seven in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said viciously. His grandma couldn't survive this day.
Obviously, he has calculated well, and Fang Xiaoer, the landlord, definitely does not have a bomb. As long as he can get by with three people and one, he can take care of Fang Xiaoer.
As a result, this distracted poor peasant ruined his well-calculated poker game.
In the end, Fang Jun smiled evilly and laid down a long series of straights, then one-on-one, and then a small three, which ended the hand perfectly.
Cheng Chubi, who was in great pain, looked up to the sky and sighed. Such a good card was actually messed up by his comrades, and it was doubled once.
Yu Zhining, who realized that he had ruined a good situation by playing cards, also smiled awkwardly.
"Okay, okay, brother Chu Bi, what a big deal, it's just one game..."
"Only one round? You just played at least five wrong cards, okay?"
