Chapter 20: Cut off your father's wings first (seeking follow-up reading)
As if noting Li Xiang's surprise, Li Chengqian said with a smile, "This is Chengxin's elder sister Ruyi, who was just sent here by the King of Han."
Li Xiang was shocked. Oh no! He had forgotten about this bastard, Li Yuanchang, the King of Han, who was so evil that he had pus oozing from his feet!
Li Xiang had no doubts about Li Chengqian's orientation.
Those who like effeminate men don't have problems with their sexual orientation, after all, effeminate men all look like women. Moreover, Li Chengqian's feelings for Chengxin are more because Chengxin understands him.
This Ruyi... is a woman, so there is no need to expect Li Shimin to be furious.
After all, it is normal for the prince to favor a woman behind closed doors.
But the question is, is this woman... an informant of the King of Han? Or is she just a tool to persuade Li Chengqian?
Damn, my head hurts...
Li Xiang bowed to Ruyi, not knowing how to address him.
Ruyi stood up and returned the greeting to Li Xiang... Well, at least she saved face.
Originally, Li Xiang wanted to wait two days before talking about Sun Simiao's matter, but the King of Han once again colluded with Li Chengqian, which made him feel anxious.
No matter what, we have to get rid of these assassins around Li Chengqian first!
According to historical inertia, even if Li Chengqian did not assassinate Zhang Xuansu and Yu Zhining, he would have sent his assassins to assassinate Li Tai.
Thinking of his father's evil deeds, Li Xiang felt dizzy.
We must not let him have this opportunity! Li Xiang thought viciously while sucking his teeth.
He said to Li Chengqian: "Father, I want to borrow two people for use."
"Who is it?" Li Chengqian asked calmly.
"Zhang Sizheng, and Hegan Chengji!" Li Xiang pointed out their names.
Hearing the names of these two people, Li Chengqian sat up straight instantly.
There is no other reason. These two people are the leaders of the death squad raised by Li Chengqian, and they are the two people he relies on the most.
He looked straight at Li Xiang, and after a while he asked slowly, "What do you want them to do?"
Li Xiang was silent for a moment, then pretended to be shy and asked, "Aye, do you still remember Aunt Jinyang?"
"Sizi..."
When Li Chengqian heard Li Mingda's name, his expression softened suddenly.
This little angel-like sister is the apple of their family's eye.
"Aunt Jinyang is suffering from respiratory disease, so I want Hegan to escort them to find Dr. Sun and bring him to Chang'an to treat Aunt Jinyang."
Li Xiang's voice was sincere.
This was his first step. He would first send out Zhang Sizheng and Hegan Chengji, the two leaders of the death squad, and temporarily isolate some of his father's right-hand men.
Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Xiang'er is so filial, and I already know it. However, in the second year of Zhenguan, Dr. Sun came to the palace to treat your grandmother, but unfortunately he was helpless..."
Li Xiang said: "It's a different time. At that time, Dr. Sun couldn't cure it, but I can't guarantee that he hasn't collected a cure in these years..."
hiss……
That makes sense!
Medical skills, like culture, are both knowledge that improves over time. Diseases that were incurable at the beginning may not be incurable now...
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian stood up suddenly. He paced a few steps in front of the chair, clenched his fist and pounded his other hand twice, then he said with finality: "Someone! Go and invite Zhang Sizheng and Hegan Chengji!"
Since it was related to his sister's health, Li Chengqian used the word "please" for the first time.
He wanted to grab even a glimmer of hope.
Having already lost his mother, Li Chengqian did not want to lose his sister. After a while, Zhang Sizheng and Hegan Chengji came to Mingde Hall.
"Your Highness! Are you going to take action?"
The two of them looked excited. Could it be that His Highness had finally made up his mind to get rid of King Wei?
Li Xiang: …
It was indeed the right choice to send these two people away...
"No, there are more important things for you to do!"
Li Chengqian sat back in his seat and looked at the two expectant people with a sharp gaze: "Do you know Dr. Sun?"
"Excuse me... Your Highness, are you talking about Sun Simiao?" The two looked at each other and asked.
"Correct!"
Li Chengqian continued, "My sister Jinyang is suffering from a serious illness and can only be cured by Divine Doctor Sun, so I want you two to lead people to find Divine Doctor Sun!"
"Your Highness has given an order, how dare we disobey!"
The two of them responded at the same time. After a while, Zhang Sizheng asked hesitantly, "It's just... Your Highness's safety..."
"I am alone in the East Palace, how can there be any danger!" Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "As long as we can find Dr. Sun, I will have fulfilled my wish."
"Thank you two guards for your hard work in finding Divine Doctor Sun. This is not just for Aunt Jinyang, but also for my father."
Li Xiang said to the two guards at the side: "I think Dr. Sun can cure father's leg disease!"
If he hadn't said it, Li Chengqian wouldn't have realized it. After hearing his words, hope also ignited in Li Chengqian's eyes.
His self-abandonment over the years might have been due to his lameness. Now that there was hope of curing his leg, how could he not be concerned?
"Xiang'er is right. Thank you for your continued attention!" Li Chengqian said seriously.
Since we are talking about the master's legs, the two of them will naturally take the lead.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness! We will definitely find Divine Doctor Sun!"
After the two of them left, Li Chengqian said to Li Xiang with an excited look: "If it weren't for what Xiang'er said, I wouldn't have thought that Dr. Sun could cure legs, ah..."
Li Chengqian couldn't help getting excited whenever he thought about regaining his original nimbleness.
Li Xiang smiled secretly, thinking that I can actually cure your disease, I also had this disease in my previous life...
In his previous life, Li Xiang also broke his leg like Li Chengqian. Since then, he started to suffer from gout in one leg. Whenever he ate something high in purine, he would feel pain that night.
But the ancients did not pay attention to this, and after so many years, it would be strange if the legs did not become lame.
However, he said that this kind of medical advice is useless and it only works if it is suggested by Sun Simiao.
As for Princess Jinyang and Princess Changle... they could only leave it to fate. He could not guarantee whether Sun Simiao could diagnose and treat them, so he could only take it one step at a time.
"It is my duty as a child to share my father's worries!" Li Xiang had a righteous look on his face.
But he was sighing in his heart, if it wasn't for the fact that he was demoted to Qianzhou, and for the throne, no one would bother to help you.
According to historical records, the original body lived to be 72 years old, so his physical condition was guaranteed. But at the same time, the problem came. If Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, longevity would not be a good thing for the Li family.
After all, although Wu Zetian was not good at foreign wars, she was extremely professional in reducing the population burden of the Li family.
In order to avoid being killed, he had no choice but to launch a charge towards the throne.
The father and son exchanged a few more words, and Li Chengqian began to see the guests off impatiently.
"Go and pay your respects to your mother. I have things to do. You still have to go to Lizheng Palace tomorrow to listen to your grandfather's instructions. Go and rest early."
