Tang Dynasty: Consort Wu? Your Majesty, please address her as the Crown Prince's Consort.

Li Yuan, standing to the side, was speechless for a moment when he saw Yang Zaixing's actions.

If you go to someone with a knife, do you think they won't run away?

I'd run away too!

He immediately waved his hand helplessly and said:

"Master Sun and I are old acquaintances. Quickly untie him; he won't run away!"

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Yang Zaixing showed a skeptical expression, his eyes filled with doubt as he looked at Li Yuan!

Upon seeing this, Li Yuan was immediately displeased.

"What do you mean, brat? Does my word not carry weight here in the Eastern Palace?"

Seeing Li Yuan's discomposure, Yang Zaixing nodded honestly.

This completely broke Li Yuan's defenses.

No?

You little brat, you don't give me any face at all!

I am, after all, the retired emperor!

Wu Zetian, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but put her hand to her forehead when she saw this scene.

Yang Zaixing has been at the East Palace for some time now, and this guy only listens to the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince; he doesn't listen to anyone else.

Even if His Majesty himself came, it wouldn't make a difference, let alone the retired emperor.

Just then, Li Chengqian, lying on the bed, spoke:

"Zaixing, untie Master Sun!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Yang Zaixing immediately accepted the order and untied the hemp rope binding Sun Simiao without hesitation.

After his conversation with his grandfather, the Emperor, Li Chengqian could roughly guess who this venerable old man was.

His surname is Sun. He is a Taoist priest who can also treat illnesses. He even knows the Emperor.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, only Sun Simiao, who was later revered as the King of Medicine, was able to achieve this.

Once the ropes binding him were untied, Sun Simiao immediately dusted off the dust and snorted coldly.

Even Li Yuan, who was standing to the side, glanced at Yang Zaixing with annoyance, but the latter simply ignored him.

Looking at the two old men with sullen expressions, Li Chengqian was somewhat amused and exasperated.

Look at the mess this has made.

He quickly spoke up:

Grandfather, Master Sun, please forgive me. Zaixing was just worried about my safety.

Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, Sun Simiao immediately bowed and said:

"Your Highness, you flatter me. This humble subject would not dare!"

Li Yuan, however, turned his head away with an arrogant expression, and said with a hint of jealousy:

"Heh! Your guard is quite loyal, even my words don't carry any weight!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian gave a somewhat awkward dry laugh.

Just then, Wu Zetian, standing to the side, spoke up somewhat anxiously:

"Master Sun, why don't you examine His Highness first?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan realized that his beloved grandson was still injured!

He slapped his forehead and quickly pulled Sun Simiao aside, saying:

"Yes, yes, yes! Master Sun, quickly take a look at my precious grandson; he's badly injured!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao nodded and said:

"Your Majesty, please do not worry, this humble subject will certainly do his utmost!"

As he spoke, he walked lightly to Li Chengqian and placed three fingers on Li Chengqian's pulse.

Li Chengqian looked at the historically famous old man in front of him with great curiosity!

He had initially appeared relaxed, but as time went on, Sun Simiao's brows began to furrow.

Upon witnessing this scene, Li Yuan and Wu Zetian's hearts sank to the bottom.

"Master Sun? How is he?"

Li Yuan, standing to the side, looked somewhat anxious, and even Wu Zetian looked at him with anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao slowly withdrew his hand, then sighed and shook his head gently.

Upon seeing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!

"Is it really that serious? I think he only suffered some external injuries. Even if it's a fracture, it can be set, right?!"

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Sun Simiao looked at him with a bewildered expression and said:

"What does the Emperor Emeritus mean by this? I didn't say His Highness the Crown Prince was in trouble!"

This time, Li Yuan was dumbfounded.

"Then why are you shaking your head and sighing?"

Seeing Li Yuan's expression, Sun Simiao couldn't help but laugh and say:

"What I mean by shaking my head is that His Highness the Crown Prince is fine. He can recover after his broken bones are set and he has been recuperating for a while."

The sigh was because His Highness the Crown Prince was in such good health. His recovery speed seemed to be several times that of ordinary people. Even though I have been practicing medicine for many years, I have never seen such a physique. It is truly enviable!

If he weren't His Highness the Crown Prince, I would have liked to take him away for research!

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian was so frightened that he shrank further into the quilt.

Holy crap?

This old man actually lusts after his body!

Upon hearing Sun Simiao's explanation, Li Yuan immediately puffed out his beard and glared, saying:

"You damned old Taoist! You almost scared me to death! How can you treat a patient like this?"

Sun Simiao looked completely innocent upon seeing this.

"I didn't say anything! Your Majesty, please don't wrong me!"

Although Sun Simiao was infuriating, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Li Chengqian was alright.

He still believed in Sun Simiao's medical skills; if he said it was nothing, then it really was nothing.

Next, Sun Simiao reattached Li Chengqian's broken leg, then wrote some medicine and gave Wu Zetian some instructions.

Li Chengqian warmly invited Yang Zaixing to arrange for Sun Simiao to stay at the Eastern Palace. Sun Simiao did not refuse Li Chengqian's overtures.

After everyone left, only Li Chengqian and Li Yuan remained in the room.

Seeing Li Chengqian wrapped up like a dumpling by Sun Simiao, Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh:

"Hahaha! You've finally met your match, haven't you? Now you're finally behaving yourself, aren't you?"

Seeing his imperial grandfather teasing him mercilessly, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Grandpa! Am I not his biological son? How can you mock your own grandson like that?"

However, Li Yuan spoke with an indifferent expression:

"It's alright! That old man Sun Simiao said you're fine, so you're definitely fine. Why should I worry unnecessarily?"

Hey! What you said is absolutely right.

After the grandfather and grandson joked around for a while, Li Yuan spoke with a serious expression:

"This matter isn't over yet. What's your opinion on your warhorse?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian shrugged with a relaxed expression and said:

"There are only two possibilities: either it's a powerful family, or it's Qingque!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but open his mouth, his voice slightly hoarse as he spoke:

"What would you do if it were Qingque?"

Li Yuan's voice trembled slightly when he asked the question.

Although he liked Li Chengqian very much, Qingque was, after all, his grandson, and he did not want the tragedy of brothers killing each other to be repeated among his grandchildren.

Seeing the somewhat nervous look on the old man's face, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He smiled and said:

"Then I'll arrest him, beat his ass until it's bruised, and lock him up in the Prince of Wei's mansion until he dies!"

Seeing Li Chengqian's fierce expression, Li Yuan actually breathed a sigh of relief!
