Chapter 43: Crazy Li Shimin
"Aunt, there is still room for improvement..."

Li Xiang couldn't bear to see his aunt sad, so he tried to persuade her.

"Where do you come from?"

A teardrop of Li Shimin rolled out of his eye socket, flowed down his cheek to the right side of his beard, and stayed there for a long time without falling off.

The scene made Li Xiang think divergently, and he thought of Tom Cat with drops of milk hanging on his whiskers.

Sun Simiao really couldn't bear to see the father and daughter crying, so he said: "I have been traveling for many years. I once saw a fragment of the "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" by the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing. It said, 'Cough and nausea are caused by breathing and cannot be slept, Xiaoqinglong Decoction is the main treatment.' In my opinion, this may be a prescription for treating qi diseases."

"Where is this book now!" Li Shimin's aura suddenly changed.

The general Tian Ce who fought his way out of the sea of ​​blood and corpses, the emperor who ruled the world, made Li Xiang shudder involuntarily.

"The teachers in Jiangnan kept the book secret and did not pass it on." Sun Simiao was not shaken by Li Shimin's momentum. "But your Majesty, don't worry. The prince summoned me to Chang'an because of the two princesses and your Majesty's illness. He has sent the East Palace guards to Jiangnan to buy it."

“That’s brilliant…”

Li Shimin's expression softened. He was sentimental and good at making associations. But he was not suspicious. After all, Li Chengqian... to be honest, he was not worthy of his suspicion. Even before Li Chengqian rebelled, Li Shimin had never suspected him and even visited him in the East Palace.

What he thought was that Li Chengqian invited Master Sun to Chang'an because of his sister's illness.

How bad can a person who loves his sister be?
Then I thought of Gao Ming...was it also for him?
Well... you are kind enough to be filial.

Although he thought so, Li Shimin could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Li Xiang was tying the token around his waist, and suddenly he saw the jade pendant next to the token.

"Where did you get this jade pendant?"

Old Li, who is a daughter-slave, recognized the origin of the jade pendant immediately.

"Replying to Grandfather, the day before yesterday, my grandson and I went to Aunt Changle's house. Aunt Changle praised my grandson a lot and gave him this jade pendant. She also told me to go to her house often to listen to her teachings..."

Li Xiang spoke honestly without any concealment.

When Li Shimin heard this, he nodded slightly.

"Since it is a gift from the elders, you should accept it. You kid, I didn't expect that Li Zhi would admire you so much... What else did your aunt Changle say?"

"She also said that she missed her mother a little, and wanted to go to the East Palace to visit her in the next few days, and by the way, she wanted to have a reunion dinner with her grandfather and grandfather."

Li Xiang is like Xiao Cui, telling the truth.

Thinking of how Li Chengqian loved his sister and was filial to him, Li Shimin said, "In that case, I will accept Changle's request."

"Uncle, you should let Dr. Sun check your health." Li Xiang reminded him that the topic was somewhat off topic.

"Oh."

Li Shimin immediately turned to Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao walked forward, but did not rush to check Li Shimin's pulse. Instead, he sniffed around Li Shimin and asked with a frown, "Your Majesty, are you wearing incense?"

"Haha, it's the finest ambergris." Li Shimin didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but raised his sleeves somewhat conceitedly.

"Your Majesty, please do not use incense anymore." Sun Simiao sighed and said, "I have concluded in recent years that people with respiratory diseases should not smell the scent of incense, and should avoid contact with flowers, dust and other things that can trigger respiratory diseases."

"So that's it!" Li Shimin suddenly realized, and he immediately said to Wang De: "Wang De, go and get ready, change my clothes!"

Old Li, who was a daughter-slave, left in a hurry and came back with a new set of clothes. On the way, he reminded Wang De again that he was not allowed to use perfume on his clothes in the future.

When he came back, Sun Simiao explained to him the dietary taboos for patients with hypertension again, and took out the taboos he had copied long ago, but gave them to Li Mingda instead of Li Shimin.

"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely advise Aye to take care of his health." Li Mingda smiled softly.

Li Shimin came closer and looked at the paper in Li Mingda's hand. As he looked at it, a mask of pain appeared on his face.

Can't drink alcohol, can't eat fatty meat, this, this, this...what's the point of living? !

"Real man, look at this..."

Li Shimin wanted to persuade him again, but unexpectedly, Li Xiang and Li Mingda looked at each other and said in unison: "Aweng (Aye), please follow the doctor's advice!"

"You guys...ah..." Li Shimin sighed and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, I agree."

Li Shimin, who was held by the two little guys, had no choice but to reluctantly say that he would follow the doctor's advice.

That night, Li Shimin faced a table full of boiled dishes and thought it was nothing special.

I have been eating a lot of meat and fish, so it is refreshing to eat some vegetables occasionally.

"Look, it's just being a vegetarian, what's so difficult about that?"

Li Shimin said to Li Mingda with a look of pride on his face, and glanced at Li Xiang complacently.

No matter how high his position or how old he is, a man is always a teenager at heart. Li Xiang was a little helpless about Lao Li's childish side, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

On the second night, Li Shimin was still able to eat vegetarian food, but by noon on the third day, his eyes were almost green.

"Your Majesty? What's wrong with you?"

In the afternoon, Changsun Wuji, who had just entered the palace, looked at Li Shimin, whose eyes were a little dull, and asked with concern.

"I want to eat meat……"

Li Shimin was muttering to himself.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Changsun Wuji waved his hand in front of Li Shimin.

"I want to eat meat……"

Li Shimin was still muttering.

"His Majesty!"

This time, Changsun Wuji increased the volume a little, which brought Li Shimin back to his senses.

"Oh, it's the auxiliary machine..."

Li Shimin let out a breath and finally came to his senses.

"What's wrong with you?"

Changsun Wuji asked with concern.

"What did you eat for lunch?"

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji, did not answer his question, and asked first.

"Uh, just lunch at home."

Changsun Wuji didn't know what Li Shimin meant by asking this question. He went into the palace just to talk about Princess Changle's entry into the palace.

"Is there roast meat? Or stew?"

Li Shimin looked up and asked.

"Your Majesty, there is roasted meat, a dish of stewed mutton, a dish of steamed fish, and a few quails."

Changsun Wuji seemed to be savoring the delicious food and even reached out to touch his round belly.

"Drinking?"

Li Shimin asked again.

"I drank a little wine from the Western Regions."

Changsun Wuji answered truthfully.

"Do you know what I had for lunch?"

Li Shimin smiled and asked.

"Um, you should have had lunch with Sizi at noon, right? It was very sumptuous?"

Changsun Wuji didn't know what Li Shimin meant.

"Hehehehahaha..."

Li Shimin smiled grimly: "Boiled vegetables! I have been eating them for three whole days! I want to eat meat!"

"Are you fasting?" Changsun Wuji asked tentatively.

Li Shimin showed a bloodthirsty smile.

Changsun Wuji saw that the situation was not good, and immediately said: "My daughter-in-law came to the palace today and said that she wanted to have dinner with you and the prince..."

Dinner?

Li Shimin immediately grasped the key point.

go! must go!
The prince doesn't have any rheumatism, so he must be different from me. He doesn't need to eat these damn vegetarian dishes!
Old Li has never been so eager to see Li Chengqian as he is now.

Just eat a few more bites of roasted meat at night, and be sure to eat the lamb part...
