When Queen Changsun arrived outside the Ganlu Hall, she heard her husband's suppressed angry sneers coming from inside the hall.
Zhao Kun, who was guarding the entrance of the palace, saw Empress Changsun and was obviously relieved. After receiving Empress Changsun's signal, he turned around and walked quickly inside.
Li Shimin, with a livid face, sat in front of the desk. He scattered several memorials on the desk, and some even flew about ten feet away.
Hearing the footsteps, Li Shimin frowned in displeasure and heard Zhao Kun's report.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is here."
"Well..." After hearing this, Li Shimin rubbed his face, exhaled and stood up.
Soon, he saw the gentle and reassuring face of Queen Changsun, which made Li Shimin, who was extremely upset, feel relieved.
"Guanyin is here, your brother is here."
Queen Changsun glanced at Zhao Kun and saw Zhao Kun quickly walking out of the Manna Hall.
Empress Changsun bent down, picked up the memorials and placed them on the desk.
"My brother has left the palace. Husband, they have made you angry again."
Li Shimin smiled angrily and spread out the memorials that Queen Changsun had just picked up one by one.
"In that book, it is unethical to impeach the crown prince. In this book, it is still unethical to impeach the prince. If you look at this book, it is treacherous to impeach the prince Zhan Shi Yu Zhining..."
"What did the prince do wrong? My dear Guanyin, do you still remember that half a month ago, the prince said that he wanted to build a room for storage at the Dianshan Kitchen in the East Palace."
Empress Changsun nodded with astonishment on her face.
"I remember, my husband, you were talking about big things at that time. You are the prince, and you have to make your own decisions about such small things. Could it be..."
Li Shimin smiled coldly and handed over a memorial he picked up in his hand.
"Look at what Dong Palace Young Master Zhan said about Zhang Xuansu."
Empress Changsun glanced at her twice, and couldn't help but squeeze her eyebrows together, speaking with anger.
"Although Zhang Qing means well, his tone is so harsh, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Cheng Qian is no longer a child, he..."
Just as the couple were whispering, they heard Zhao Kun's voice coming from outside the palace. "I see the Emperor."

Li Shimin and his wife had just stood up when they saw Li Yuan, with an ugly face, quickly entering the Manna Hall.
His eyes swept over Li Shimin and his daughter-in-law, and Li Yuan forced a smile. "My daughter-in-law is here too."
"My son, I have met my father." The couple bowed respectfully to Li Yuan.
After Li Yuan raised his hand for support, his eyes fell on Li Shimin.
"Get up. Today, Liu Zheng will come to Da'an Palace to see me and tell me something, so I came here specially."
"I just want to ask the emperor personally whether he knows that all the civil and military officials in the DPRK have been impeaching and criticizing the prince for being unethical in the past few months?"
Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat, and he thought a lot, but he really didn't expect that his father would actually learn this news from Liu Zhenghui, an old minister of Taiyuan Yuanmou.
"Father... I know this."
Li Yuan took a deep breath and his face darkened.
"Okay, I'll ask you again, what are you going to do with my grandson?"
Li Shimin was stunned by Li Yuan's sudden anger. He didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Fortunately, at this time, Empress Changsun stepped forward, took Li Yuan's arm and whispered.
"Father, please calm down. You must have misunderstood. My husband has no intention of punishing Cheng Qian."
"Father, Chengqian is the eldest son of my son. He has a gentle and kind nature and is quite knowledgeable. How can I blame him when my son feels sorry for him before it is too late?"
"As for the raging discussions among ministers and workers in the court, I have been suppressing it because I don't want Cheng Qian to be wronged."
Seeing Li Shimin in front of him, he was obviously a little excited in his defense. He even picked up the memorials on the table to impeach the prince and stated his thoughts.
The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, who was originally angry, gradually regained his composure.
But within this calmness, there is both a sense of relief and a sense of unspeakable pain.
If it weren't for Li Chengqian, Li Yuan would really not be willing to deal with this son who he disliked.
Even though the relationship was much better than in the past, Li Yuan still felt that he and his son had no topic of conversation.
The cause of everything was naturally the tragic incident in which a person with white hair gave away a person with black hair.
Zhao Kun stood outside the Manlu Palace. There were still a few words coming out of the palace. At this moment, all the people near the palace gate had been driven away by him.
However, the chatter coming from inside still made him feel a little frightened.
"Father...Father?" In Li Yuan's ears, Empress Changsun's somewhat anxious voice came.
He finally came to his senses and reluctantly smiled at his considerate daughter-in-law.
"I'm fine. If that's the case, that's good. Chengqian is a good baby, you...you must cherish it."
"Father, don't worry, he is the son of my son, and my son will naturally protect him." Li Shimin replied categorically.
Li Yuan nodded slightly, stood up slowly, and walked to the moment when he was about to pass by Li Shimin.
His big hand slowly fell on Li Shimin's shoulder, and he spoke in a hoarse voice that was so low that only the two of them could hear it.
"Erlang, I hope you won't let me disappoint you again."
Li Shimin suddenly turned around, looked at his father's staggering footsteps, and bowed down in front of the Manna Palace.
"Father, please believe me, I will never let you down this time."
Li Yuan froze for a moment and did not look back. He just waved his hand and continued walking out.
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan's leaving figure and clenched his hands tightly into fists.
Empress Changsun glanced at her husband worriedly, saw the signaling look from her husband, quickly chased after him, and personally sent Li Yuan out of the Manna Palace.

The next day, at the court meeting, Li Shimin announced that the war chess and sand table presented by the prince and the East Palace official Cheng Chubi had been passed on to Li Jing's army.
Li Jing and the commanders-in-chief of various armies and horses all spoke highly of it, believing that it would be extremely helpful in military affairs.
Therefore, the prince was given a separate courtyard outside the palace, and the official of the East Palace, Cheng Chubi, was given a thousand catties of gold and a hundred pieces of silk and satin as a kind reward.
But even so, the imperial court continued to impeach the prince, which gave Li Shimin an extra headache, but there was nothing he could do about it.
We could only suppress those memorials and ignore them. Five days later, Kong Yingda, the regular servant of the Disciplined Cavalry, and a group of officials presented the memorial to the emperor.
King Li Tai of Wei, who is respectful, benevolent and knowledgeable, asked Your Majesty to take charge of the compilation of "Kuo Di Zhi" by Li Tai.
When Li Shimin heard about it, he happily approved it and ordered Wei King Li Tai to recruit learned people to compile "Kuo Di Zhi".
The news reached the ears of Empress Changsun, and she was immediately confused...
