Chapter 91: Recovering from a Serious Illness (Seeking Monthly Pass)
This pork bone soup was a fat pig that I killed last night. It was made by its cylindrical bones. In order to ensure the deliciousness of the broth, there were almost no condiments except a little white salt.
The pork bones were simmered over a night of slow heat and emitted a strong meaty aroma.
Bowls of bone soup were served. Outside the banquet hall, eunuchs were carefully trying the poison with silver needles, and then they were sent to each of them.
Li Shimin sat upright in front of the table, looking down slightly, and the rich fragrance scattered around him, but saw that the bone soup was full of color and fragrance, which was no different from the soup I had drunk before. The only difference was that the ingredients here were pork bones rather than mutton.
But... As soon as he saw the big bone in the soup, Li Shimin suddenly thought of his son's leg bones. For a moment, he became a little moved and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Empress Changsun, who was sitting on one side, was also depressed. Li Shimin cheered up and deliberately smiled and said, "This soup looks good."
Empress Changsun knew Li Shimin's thoughts and knew that His Majesty deliberately changed the subject, but she just hoped that she would be more at ease. She also forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty is saying."
Although they are all good, none of the people in this hall are willing to use their chopsticks.
Everyone is worried, not to mention... they really have no interest in pork.
Seeing this, Li Shimin said majesticly: "What's wrong! Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day. I came here with you to have fun with you... All of you drink while it's hot."
Even though he said that, no one moved.
Of course, there is actually an exception. Among the people, Chen Zhengtai scooped the soup and drank leisurely with a bowl!
Speaking of which, since he came to the Tang Dynasty, he hasn't drunk pork bone soup for more than half a year. When he tastes it now, it really feels delicious!
It was still the same recipe and the same taste. In front of the food, he had no time to care about so many rules and ate the meat unscrupulously.
I have to say that the meat is fresh and tender, so fragrant and delicious!
Li Shimin looked sideways and saw Chen Zhengtai drinking the soup with enjoyment on his face. He was stunned!
Does this disciple of mine have such a strong taste? He actually eats so deliciously?
Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore, and looked around and everyone looked at Chen Zhengtai in horror.
Why……
I guess all the ministers are complaining about Chen Zhengtai in their hearts!
Li Shimin turned his gaze to Changsun Wuji who was sitting at the lower head.
"Why don't the Qing family drink?"
Changsun Wuji had no expression on his face, but he felt a little frustrated. He felt nauseous when he thought of the pork, and he was afraid that he would eat it. He lost his composure in front of the emperor. He did not taste as heavy as Chen Zhengtai, so he said without hesitation: "I am always thinking about the prince's condition and have no appetite."
Li Shimin's eyebrows sank and looked at the others again, and saw everyone saying, "Yes, so are me..."
Li Shimin sighed.
Queen Changsun couldn't help but cry at this moment. When she mentioned the prince, she couldn't help but think of her sad things.
But at this moment, an eunuch hurried in.
Li Shimin was in a very bad mood, but when he saw the eunuch so unruly, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Bold..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The eunuch was frightened, but he seemed to have encountered an urgent matter and didn't care much about it. He interrupted Li Shimin's words: "Your Majesty... the Crown Prince is coming down."
The prince is here...
These words were like thunder, which immediately caused an uproar.
The prince is recuperating now, how could he leave easily and suffer from the hardships of the boat and the car?
When Empress Changsun heard this, she suddenly rose up. Li Shimin's face turned pale: "He is still recovering from his injuries, how dare he act like this?"
The ministers below were already talking.
Empress Changsun was thinking about her son and had already left for the banquet.
Li Shimin hurriedly chased after him.
The ministers had no intention of eating this bone soup and followed them one after another.
When I went out and looked out, I saw a group of people coming in a carriage.
Li Shimin's face darkened, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry: "It's already this time, I haven't remembered the lesson yet, and I'm still so chaotic."
The ministers looked at each other...
Empress Changsun said worriedly: "Hurry, hurry, where is Doctor Wang?"
In a short while, Doctor Wang arrived.
He is the imperial physician in the palace and is responsible for smelling the incense. Now His Majesty and the Empress are going to leave the palace for meals, so he comes with him, which is very reasonable.
In fact, Doctor Wang had known the situation and was already heartbroken. When he arrived in front of Empress Changsun, he said in a moving manner: "Empress, you have been hurt for a hundred days, let alone... or break your feet? In just over a month, Your Highness is so unwilling to care about his body. This... this...oh... I am just afraid that there will be a big disaster. Your Highness is just lame now. If you don't pay attention to your cultivation, you will be afraid that your life will be in danger."
When Empress Changsun heard this, she almost fainted. Although she was a mother in charge of the world, she was a mother after all. When she heard that it endangered her son's life, she became more worried and hurriedly said, "Doctor Wang must take care of her carefully..."
Doctor Wang nodded: "Don't worry, Empress, I am quite accomplished in bone injuries. As long as no one is around you, you will definitely protect your highness's life."
When he talked about the troubles, he had some ideas and his eyes couldn't help but look at Chen Zhengtai in a vague manner.
Chen Zhengtai glared at his eyes, Wo r, what are you doing with glaring at me? His Majesty is the one who has the surgery.
In fact, Chen Zhengtai is also worried now. After all, he doesn't know whether the operation is effective. Of course... For him, the worst result is that the prince is still lame. He is worried now that if the prince is committed suicide and something happens, he will really be implicated. God, it's not that he is the Chen family of Mengjin. Is it still too late to curry favor with Li Zhi?
Under the sad eyes of everyone, the carriage and horse were already in front of him.
The Imperial Master Wang rushed to the carriage and said first: "Your Highness, don't mess around. When your highness is at stake, please return to the East Palace to recuperate quickly..."
At this time, the curtain of the car had been opened, and Princess Sui'an first looked out!
She thought that the first person to greet Chen Zhengtai, but when she saw that it was Doctor Wang, she was immediately disappointed.
Immediately, Princess Sui'an got off the car.
Li Chengqian seemed to have said something to Princess Sui'an, but saw that Li Chengqian also leaned out.
Princess Sui'an immediately supported him.
Doctor Wang was almost so angry that he fainted.
It would be fine if you don’t take care of your highness, but why do you still want to go to the fields? This is crazy, crazy... I’m so afraid of the doctor, and the prince’s prince has no treatment.
Empress Changsun and Li Shimin not far away seemed to see Li Chengqian's intentions, their faces suddenly changed, and they hurriedly stepped forward.
But it's too late.
Li Chengqian had already got out of the car. He was on the ground and his body was still supported by Princess Sui'an. At this time, he suddenly saw the sunlight and saw the familiar scenery of Erpigou, his eyes couldn't help but feel a sense of indescribable joy.
This place is like your own home. The East Palace is not a home. The East Palace is like a cage. Only here... can you be free and unrestrained.
"Chengqian..."
Li Chengqian heard the exclamation of his mother in his ears.
Li Chengqian seemed to be unaware of it.
He gritted his teeth and gave Princess Sui'an a wink. Princess Sui'an understood and took a step back quietly.
In everyone's eyes, such behavior is almost like everyone seeing a child walking on the edge of a cliff with his own eyes, as if the next moment, the child will fall into the abyss.
Everyone's heart seemed to jump out...
Li Chengqian stood still.
He felt his injured foot heavy as if it was filled with lead.
But... my feet were pressed against the ground, and my whole body was still standing steadily in the wind.
Empress Changsun was almost suffocating when she watched the scene.
Li Chengqian closed his eyes, slowly lifted his feet, and took the first step.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, who were originally rushing to arrive, suddenly stopped at this moment.
They seemed to be suddenly fixed, and their bodies were motionless and looked at everything in front of them.
The ministers behind them all showed incredible appearances.
Aren't you lame? Could it be...
This lame leg is still... can it be repaired?
After taking the first step, Li Chengqian felt a pain in his injured foot, but... he still gritted his teeth and took the second step.
Immediately afterwards, the third step, the fourth step...
Step by step... I walked a little staggeringly.
However... everyone looked at him intently, but he could feel that the steps of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were not like signs of lameness, but just like an ordinary leg bone injury.
Li Shimin stood still, just like petrification.
Empress Changsun's sob mixed with unbelievable emotions and finally called out: "My son..."
"My son... I have met my father... I have met my mother..."
A true smile appeared on Li Chengqian's lips. He wanted to try to salute, but as soon as his body tilted, Princess Sui'an on the side immediately supported him.
Doctor Wang, who was beside him, suddenly seemed to be struck by thunder.
Suddenly... he felt that all his knowledge and knowledge about orthopedics had been handed over to medical books and to his deceased master decades ago.
He wanted to shout a few words, Your Highness the Crown Prince... You can't do this, but now... his Adam's apple rolls, and he can't even say a word, and he only looks as if dead.
Empress Changsun rushed forward with a quick step, holding Li Chengqian in her arms, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
He couldn't help but feel wronged: "You really don't know what happened. You have such a leg injury, why dare you move around?"
Li Chengqian said: "Mother, my son's leg injury is probably healed. Now it is just a need to recover. My senior brother said that if you can go to the ground occasionally and take a few steps at this time, it will be beneficial to your legs and feet. This is called...rehabilitation...yes, it is rehabilitation."
Empress Changsun realized her incompetence and then returned to her dignity and asked in confusion: "Senior Brother?"
But the next moment, Empress Changsun remembered who Li Chengqian’s senior brother was.
She immediately said, "Chen Zhengtai, come."
