In theory, such a thing is not a military and national event. You shouldn't be alarmed by His Majesty the Emperor so late. However, Yongtongqu has a huge impact on Chang'an. Fang Xuanling is sure that within three days, the impact of Chang'an's material transportation will be enough to cause a shortage of materials in Chang'an City. The next step is the soaring prices and panic.

The influence of Chang'an residents is no less than that of wars and other major military events on the border.

Li Chunfeng predicted that Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian would encounter unexpected events, which was kept confidential. Fang Xuanling did not know what His Majesty the Emperor was doing in the palace. So, he, who was loyal to him, put on his clothes and went straight to the palace.

It was 10:30 at night, and it was only one and a half hours left when it was midnight.

Li Shimin originally could go to other places to rest after changing shifts, but he didn't dare to leave the nave and sat on a chair in the middle to rest.

He was closing his eyes to rest when he heard someone whispering outside. It was Wang De. He said, "Master Fang, Your Majesty has something very important today. Let's talk about anything tomorrow."

Li Shimin knew that Fang Xuanling must have had something big happen when he came so late.

What happened today was so weird. Li Shimin was a little angry. He stood up, waved his fists into the air, and said, "Who is it? You have the ability to come to me. What's the ability to be with a woman?!"

Fang Xuanling outside the door was startled and didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor was talking about.

Wang De couldn't explain to him, so he said, "Sir Fang, you can handle anything yourself. Your Majesty is really not suitable to meet you tonight."

At this time, Li Shimin's voice came from inside, saying, "Let Fang Aiqing come in."

"Wait a minute." Li You hurriedly stopped him. He thought of something. It was raining heavily outside, and Fang Xuanling must be covered in cold air. If he came in, it might be a little short of that, which would affect the fate of Empress Changsun.

So he said, "Father, Lord Fang is covered in cold air and cannot come in. You cannot go out. If you have any problems, just talk through the door."

Li Shimin really felt frustrated, but he felt that what Li You said made sense, and he really didn't dare to take risks. So he said, "Aiqing Fang, if you have any problems, you can report them outside."

Although Fang Xuanling felt it was strange, he had to say: "Yes, Your Majesty. I just received a report from the Ministry of Works, Yongtongqu..."

After listening to the report, Li Shimin said, "Fang Aiqing, Yongtong Canal is crucial to the Great Wall. You can immediately arrange someone to investigate the collapse of Yongtong Canal overnight and report to me in the morning court tomorrow."

"I obey the order." Fang Xuanling said goodbye and left.

This is, it is already 11 o'clock.

There is only one hour left, and a major historical event that is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty will undergo fundamental changes.

Li You said nervously: "Father, Erchen go in and see Erchen's mother."

Li Shimin nodded and signaled him to go in.

Li You went in to check the pulse of Queen Changsun and found that her current condition was basically no major problem. He also told Xiao Wanyu not to take a nap and be more careful.

After Li You walked out, he said to Murong Ling: "Ling'er, you go in and stay with your mother. If you have any situation, come out and report it immediately."

Murong Ling also went in.

Time passes so slowly. Now every minute of this, Li You feels it is so long.

Li You was still worried about something unexpected. He walked to the door, and his opponents Wang De and Ma Xuanliang outside said, "Eunuch Wang, General Manager Ma, from now on, even if the sky falls, don't disturb His Majesty again."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang De and Ma Xuanliang replied together.

Eastern Palace.

Li Shimin originally did not believe what Li Chunfeng said, but what happened to Empress Changsun made him have to be careful.

After he returned to the Eastern Palace, he called Cheng Chuliang and others to ask them to be more vigilant.

At this time, he did not sleep, waiting for news about Lizheng Hall.

Tonight, Hou Haitang was serving her bed. She was already in a state of difficulty and fell asleep. Li Chengqian was holding a book called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and watched it randomly, chatting to pass the time.

At this time, the curfew bell rang.

The curfew has now been postponed to midnight, and the bell will be ringed half an hour in advance. It is 11:30.

At this time, Li Shimin said, "You'er, it seems that it's okay." He said this, actually to give himself courage. He was very nervous, worried that something unexpected would happen in the last moment.

Li You comforted him and said, "Father, you are the true emperor! With you waiting here, Erchen's mother will definitely be fine. Li Chunfeng said that the most dangerous thing is today. As long as today is over, Erchen's mother will be safe and sound.

Now the time is coming soon. After midnight, the evil spirit that enveloped the Lizheng Hall will dissipate."

In fact, Li You and Li Shimin have said this several times. He said this now not only to comfort Li Shimin, but also to comfort himself, using this to relieve his nervous mood.

Time passed minute by minute, and there was only the last moment left.

Suddenly, Murong Ling ran out of the inside, and her actions immediately scared Li Shimin and Li You.

They asked in unison, "What's wrong?"

Murong Ling blushed and said embarrassedly: "Father, I want to go there to make it easier. My son can't persuade her, this..."

Empress Changsun is an extremely particular person. Even if she is sick and someone is supported by someone, she will never be convenient in her bedroom.

If she wants to go there, she has to go out and go to the next room to solve the convenience problem. She asked Murong Ling to come out because she wanted Li Shimin, mainly Li You to leave the nave so that she can go out with the convenience.

Although she was just passing through the corridor, it was raining heavily outside and the cold air was so cold that she might not be able to bear the physical condition of Empress Changsun.

"So the last blow is here!" Li Shimin and Li You looked at each other, and were very glad.

Li Youxin said: "Fortunately, I insisted that my father should stay here, otherwise no one would stop Empress Changsun's behavior of respecting and loving self-love."

Li Shimin thought to himself: "Fortunately I insisted on staying here, otherwise, with the character of Guanyin maid, the palace maids would not be able to stop her."

Li Shimin stood up and walked into Empress Changsun's bedroom with great strides...

"Dang, dang, dang..." The midnight bell finally rang.
