Empress Changsun was critically ill! When Li Xiu received this news, he felt a "buzzing" sound in his mind, and then he rushed to the inner house to tell Princess Pingyang about this. Although Princess Pingyang and Li Shimin have not reconciled, the relationship between her and Empress Changsun is still very deep. This is mainly because Empress Changsun has always wanted to resolve the conflict between Princess Pingyang and Li Shimin. Although she has not succeeded, she has established a deep relationship with Princess Pingyang.

Princess Pingyang was originally teaching her younger son Li Luo to study. Although the little guy was still young, Princess Pingyang's tutoring was very strict, so she started reading for him since she was a child. For example, now the mother and son are reading the "Three Character Classic" copied by Li Xiu from later generations. Of course, he often deleted it. For example, some things that had not happened in history were hidden by him.

However, even if there is a part of it, the Three Character Classic is still very suitable as an enlightenment textbook for children. Now, not only are new school buildings used, but other private schools, even palaces and nobles have taught the Three Character Classic to enlightened children. Of course, with the spread of the Three Character Classic, Li Xiu has gained a lot of fame, but to the point where he is now, he no longer cares about these literary names.

"My wife, what happened to the queen!" Li Xiu strode over and told her about Empress Changsun's critical illness. In fact, he had just received the news, and the news only said that Empress Changsun was critically ill. As for how she was critically ill? What is the situation now? Li Xiu also knew nothing.

"What!" Princess Pingyang was shocked when she heard the bad news. Then she handed Li Luo to the wet nurse and eagerly grabbed Li Xiu's hand, "The queen's illness was not already recovering, and I had seen her a few days ago. At that time, she also said that she felt much better, why did she get critically ill?"

"I don't know this. The news just came from the palace. I plan to go to the palace now. Do you want to go together?" Li Xiu said anxiously at this time. Although Empress Changsun is not Li Shimin, as a **, if she dies, it will also have a great impact on the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention that Empress Changsun is not an ordinary queen. Among the queens of all dynasties, her influence on the court can definitely be ranked among the top ten, so her death will only have a greater impact on the court.

"Okay, I'll go into the palace with you!" Princess Pingyang almost immediately made a decision, and asked the wet nurse to take Li Luo away. Before she could even change her clothes, she followed Li Xiu onto the carriage and rushed to the palace.

Originally, Li Xiu thought that Li Shimin would temporarily block the news. After all, Empress Changsun was sick again and again, and she had been on the verge of life and death several times before, so there was no need to make it known to everyone in the world immediately. Maybe after diagnosis and treatment, Empress Changsun could be pulled back from the line of life and death.

But what Li Xiu did not expect was that when his carriage first arrived at the imperial city, there were already many carriages blocked at the gate of the imperial city. It seemed that all the ministers who received the news came, but because there were too many cars, they blocked the city gate for a while, which made Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang on the carriage very anxious. Finally, Li Xiu simply asked someone to go around to the west side of the imperial city and enter the imperial city from another gate.

There is also a city wall between the imperial city and Tai Chi Palace. Changle Gate and Guangyun Gate can enter and exit in the middle, but ordinary officials cannot enter the palace gate at all, so they are waiting outside the palace gate now. However, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang took a carriage and entered the Tai Chi Palace directly through Guangyun Gate, and then headed straight to Liangyi Hall.

Liangyi Hall is where Li Shimin handles government affairs, but behind Liangyi Hall, there are two hall gates, namely Zhuming Gate and Liangyi Gate. There is a cross street in the middle of the two hall gates, which is also the dividing line between Li Shimin's handling of government affairs and accommodation.

When the carriage arrived in front of Zhu Ming Gate, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang also got off the carriage. Because further forward was the emperor's bedroom, any carriage was absolutely forbidden to enter, so the two could only walk on foot. The bedroom was also divided into two parts, with Yongxiang as the boundary, and to the south was the emperor's bedroom, which was where Li Shimin rested. Among them, Ganlu Hall was here, and to the south of Yongxiang was the back bedroom, which was where the empress and concubines lived. The Lizheng Hall where the Empress Changsun lived was also in this area.

As a man, even if he was trusted by Li Shimin, he could only reach the Emperor's Bedroom and could not pass Yongxiang at all, because no man was allowed to enter the back bedroom north of Yongxiang. This was the rule set by Empress Changsun himself. Even if Changsun Wuji wanted to visit his sister, he had to wait until Empress Changsun left the back bedroom before he could meet. After the prince was ten years old, he had to move out of the palace. Usually, he could only go to the palace to visit his mother on a specific day.

When Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang came to Yongxiang, they found that Changsun Wuji had been waiting here, and his face was full of anxiety. Li Xiu hurriedly stepped forward and inquired: "Brother Wuji, what is the Queen's condition? What do the imperial doctors say?"

"I don't know either. No man is allowed to enter the back bedroom, so my wife went in to visit her first. There is no news yet, so I am anxious to wait!" Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed. His eyes were red when he spoke. Although he was very scheming, he still loved his sister who had grown up with him since childhood, and was not much worse than Li Xiu's love for Qi Niang.

"Husband, since you can't get in, I'll go in and take a look first, and I'll send you news as soon as possible!" Princess Pingyang also walked forward and said, and after saying that, nodded slightly at Changsun Wuji, then stepped through Yongxiang and entered the area behind the back bedroom.

"Thank you, Princess!" Seeing Princess Pingyang leave, Changsun Wuji reacted and hurriedly thanked Princess Pingyang's back. He and Li Shimin grew up together, and naturally they were old acquaintances with Princess Pingyang.

"Brother Wuji, I remember that the queen's condition has improved since last year. How could it become so serious for no reason?" Li Xiu asked again at this time. After all, Changsun Wuji came earlier than him and was well-informed, so he might know more.

Sure enough, when Changsun Wuji heard this question, he showed a little annoyed look on his face: "I don't know much about other things, but according to the information I found out, the queen seemed to have suddenly become ill in the East Palace!"

"East Palace? Could it be that... this matter is related to Chengqian?" Li Xiu couldn't help but look dark when he heard this, and he muttered to himself in a low voice.
