Chapter 33 As long as Dr. Sun comes to Chang'an, everything will be fine

Since the brother and sister wanted to have some private conversation, and Li Chengqian would always talk about Li Shimin every time he came, Changsun Wuji and others did not plan to stay in this room.

After all, it’s best not to listen to the nonsense words of saints if possible.

"This is your nephew Li Xiang." Li Chengqian took Li Xiang's collar from behind and dragged him to Li Lizhi's bedside with some satisfaction: "Xiang'er, doesn't your aunt remember you?"

"What does he remember? My elder brother is just teasing the child." Li Lizhi smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes, and the whole room was suddenly full of light. "The last time I saw Xiang'er, he was less than two years old."

"Nephew Li Xiang, meeting aunt!"

Li Xiang knelt on the ground and bowed without saying a word.

"This child..."

Li Lizhi was so amused that she couldn't help but smile and asked Li Xiang to stand up.

"I've also heard about Xiang'er's recent affairs," Li Lizhi looked at Li Xiang with a dreamy glow in her eyes. She said in a gentle voice, "He is kind, filial, resolute, strong and brave, and he is quite like your grandfather."

Hey, dear aunt, please praise me more...

Li Xiang scratched his head happily and said he dared not.

"Huh, he's just like Aye, isn't he just like me?" Li Chengqian was jealous.

"Yeah, he looks like my elder brother too." Li Lizhi chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

After some more laughter and jokes, Li Chengqian got to the point.

"Lizhi, I..."

Seeing the hesitation in Li Chengqian's eyes, Li Lizhi gently encouraged him: "Brother, what difficulties have you encountered?"

"No, no, it's just that Xiang'er talked to me today..."

Li Chengqian sighed and repeated what Li Xiang had said before.

"Is it true, as Xiang'er said, that Saint... Aye just wanted to compensate Wei... Um, Qingque?"

Li Lizhi was stunned when she heard what he said.

For many years, almost since five or six years ago, when her elder brother came to visit her, he no longer called him "Aye" or "Qingque", but only referred to him as the cold saint and King Wei. She wanted to bridge the rift between her relatives, but she was powerless to do so.

Who would have thought that just a few words from his nephew Li Xiang would cause such a drastic change in his elder brother?

Yes, only when you raise children will you understand how difficult it is for parents. Only by putting yourself in their shoes can you get the most correct answer.

Glancing at Li Xiang approvingly, Li Lizhi said gently, "Brother, you have already made up your mind, haven't you?"

"No, I..."

Li Chengqian stood up and took a deep breath.

How can the grievances of so many years be resolved in an instant?
"But, but I am the prince, I am the son that my mother loves the most..."

"But the second brother is also the child of Aye and Aniang..." Li Lizhi sighed and said, "When Aniang was alive, in order to prevent the eldest brother from worrying, she even took the initiative to distance herself from the second brother and advised Aye to treat him equally. For this reason, the sadness in the second brother's heart is just like the sadness in the eldest brother now..."

"he……"

Li Chengqian wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.

Yes, it’s just that Aye prefers Qingque, so he is so suspicious...

What about Qingque, who was actively alienated by A Niang? How sad must he be?

Whenever he thought about his mother actively distancing herself from him, Li Chengqian felt as if the sky was falling.

He was silent for a while before he said in a hoarse voice: "I, I understand..."

"Brother, I miss my sister-in-law."

Li Lizhi tugged at Li Chengqian's sleeve, with a sly look in her eyes: "I want to go to the East Palace to visit my sister-in-law in a few days, and have a meal with Aye, Zhinu and Sizi. What do you think?"

She deliberately did not mention Li Tai. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. The most important thing at the moment is to repair the relationship between Li Chengqian and Li Shimin. As for Li Tai, he can be put aside for a while.

"Hmm..." Li Chengqian agreed in a sullen voice. "With us here, you can have a heart-to-heart talk with your father-in-law." Li Lizhi said softly.

When he heard that he was going to have a heart-to-heart talk with Li Shimin, the ancestral arrogance of the Li family suddenly surged to Li Chengqian's mind.

"I don't..."

"Brother!"

Li Lizhi grabbed Li Chengqian's hand and started coughing violently again due to her emotional excitement.

Li Xiang immediately stepped forward and patted his aunt gently on the back to help her calm down.

It took Li Lizhi a long time to recover, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Brother, just consider it as fulfilling my sister's last wish..."

"I don't want to be ashamed to face my mother when I see her..."

"You, you'll be fine! Lizhi!"

Li Chengqian panicked: "I promise you, I promise you! I have sent someone to find Dr. Sun! When Dr. Sun comes to Chang'an, everything will be fine!"

Seeing the hope in Li Chengqian's eyes, Li Lizhi swallowed back what she wanted to say.

If Dr. Sun had a good solution for respiratory diseases, why would my mother have passed away so early?

She wiped her tears and said softly, "In a few days, when I feel better, I will go to the palace to visit my sister-in-law."

"Yes." Even if Li Chengqian wanted to refuse now, it was impossible. He could only bite the bullet and accept it.

He then said, "Lizhi, you are not feeling well, so go to bed early. Xiang'er and I will not disturb you."

Finally, he added: "I will consider what you said carefully."

"Yeah." Li Lizhi smiled softly and reached out to take off a jade pendant from her waist.

She took Li Xiang's hand and placed the jade pendant in his hand.

The jade pendant was warm and moist, but Li Lizhi's hands were a little cold.

"This is the jade pendant that your grandfather gave me. Now I give it to you..."

As she spoke, Li Lizhi reached out and gently stroked Li Xiang's head: "If you have free time, come to my aunt's house often."

There is another extended meaning that she did not say, which is that she wanted to bring Li Xiang to show off more in front of Changsun Wuji and win some support.

Whether you support Li Chengqian or Li Xiang.

"Thank you, aunt!"

Of course Li Xiang understood what Li Lizhi meant, and he bowed again.

Li Xiang was grateful from the bottom of his heart for his aunt's protection.

What a great teammate!

At the same time, he also sighed in his heart, how did this dad...with so many great teammates standing around him, come to this point today?
I don’t understand. Okay, I really don’t understand.

When Li Chengqian took Li Xiang away, Li Lizhi leaned on the bed, tears streaming down her face.

She remembered the morning of the ninth year of Wude when her parents went to Xuanwu Gate together to risk their lives, leaving the three siblings alone at home.

When the Prince of Qin's mansion was surrounded, she and Li Tai were so scared that they huddled in a corner and cried.

The eldest brother Li Chengqian, who was only eight or nine years old at the time, was wearing ill-fitting armor and dragging a long sword in his hand. He stood trembling in front of them, comforting her and the second brother Li Tai not to be afraid, as he, the eldest brother, would protect them.

But she clearly saw that her elder brother's body was shaking more violently than hers, but he still stood resolutely in front of them in order to protect them.

The brother-sister relationship was so good back then, why did it end up like this today...
