Chapter 2047 Sacrifice
Li Shen discovered that Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei were even thinner than Li Shimin.
He estimated that if this continued, his aunt and biological mother would probably die before his father.
"Mother, even if Aye is sick, you can't not eat. But You also needs to eat.
Otherwise, who will take care of Aye?"
Li Shen was really defeated by these two mothers. What Li Shen couldn't understand the most was how these two people could not eat.
It’s okay to skip a meal, but if you don’t eat for a day, you will feel unbearable hunger. At this time, even if the sky falls, Li Shen has to eat.
How could these two mothers resist not eating?
"Shen'er, the Queen and I have served your father for decades. Now your father is getting weaker day by day. If anything unexpected happens,
The Queen and I are also prepared to continue to serve you, Grandpa. You must be more sensible and assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Meng Jiang is right beside you, and Dao Wu is at the border, so you should take good care of her."
Concubine Wei wiped the corners of her eyes and gave instructions to her son.
"Wait! What do you mean, mother? Aye is fine."
Oh my god, it turns out that my mother and the queen are going to be buried with my father. Isn't it a bit too early for them to tell me about their funeral arrangements now?
"If what your mother said is true, I have already discussed it with your mother. We cannot let your father be alone. You must have someone to serve you."
Empress Chang Sun said from the side.
"Have you discussed it?" Li Shen was even more surprised. His mother was only in her fifties. There was no need for her to be buried so early.
Besides, my mother has children. If you let my mother be buried with you, aren't you afraid that I will rebel?
Seeing that her son looked a little unhappy, Concubine Wei immediately spoke to comfort him:
"Shen'er, this is your mother's own will. I have followed your father for decades and am now over fifty years old. If that day ever comes, I will follow your majesty."
"Okay, mother, that day will never come. Now that I'm back, I won't let that day come now."
Li Shen knew that his mother was a very traditional and polite woman, and had once been a lady from a wealthy family.
My mother is actually capable of doing such a thing as being buried alive.
Throughout history, there has been a tradition of burying emperors with their dead, but those who were buried were those without offspring. Otherwise, wouldn't the princes in various places have risen up and established themselves as kings?
But in this period, burying people with the dead is no longer encouraged. Even his grandfather Li Yuan was not buried with the dead.
"What do you mean, Shen'er?" Empress Changsun heard the hidden meaning in Li Shen's words.
"Mother, mother, I will do my best to cure Aye's illness, so you can rest assured." Li Shen comforted.
"Do you have a cure?" Concubine Wei became excited.
"Well, not sure, but it should be okay, probably." Li Shen nodded.
"Really?" Hearing Li Shen say this, the two stood up in surprise.
"Really? So, mother and mother, please take care of yourselves. Otherwise, why don't you ask someone to prepare some food? I haven't had any food during the long journey, and I'm a little hungry."
Li Shen touched his belly.
"Okay, okay, someone prepare the meal immediately. My son is hungry." Empress Changsun was overjoyed and gave orders outside.
Then he pulled Li Shen to sit down and said, "Shen'er, you don't know that your father hasn't eaten in the past few days. He only ate some porridge and drank some water. His body is getting weaker day by day."
"No, I think Aye is very energetic, look how he beat me."
Li Shen turned around and lifted up his clothes to let the two mothers see his lower back.
When they looked, they saw indeed stripes of red.
"Did your father hit you?" Both of them were a little surprised. They visited Li Shimin every day and they still remembered clearly how Li Shimin lay weakly on the bed.
Why is Li Shen different after he came back? He has so much strength to beat his son. He doesn't seem to be sick.
"It was my father who beat me. My eldest brother saw it. Mother, you have to stand up for me." Li Shen felt so aggrieved.
"Okay, you must have made His Majesty angry again, otherwise why would he hit you?" Concubine Wei scolded.
Concubine Wei was no longer as listless as before. Li Shen seemed to be a magic medicine. After he came back, everyone began to become energetic.
There is still some time before Sun Simiao and others arrive, so Li Shen plans to chat with the two mothers and give them some advice.
But he suddenly smelled a fragrance.
Li Shen looked around and saw smoke rising not far away, as if someone was offering incense to the Buddha.
Li Shen's eyes suddenly turned, and a plan came to his mind:
"Mother, I need some preparations to treat Aye."
"What preparations?" Upon hearing about the preparations to treat His Majesty, Empress Chang Sun became serious.
"I need to offer sacrifices. After listening to my eldest brother's story, I feel that my grandfather's illness is strange, so I want to burn incense and pray to the heavens.
I hope that God can bless my father and let him live safely and recover soon. What does my mother think? "
Li Shen spoke very seriously.
"Okay, I'll ask the servants to prepare it. I wonder if there is anything else you need besides the sacrificial supplies?"
Queen Changsun nodded.
"Just the things for sacrifice are enough. The altar can be placed at the entrance of Hanfeng Palace." Li Shen replied.
After Empress Changsun gave the order, she started chatting with Li Shen again, mainly asking Li Shen what method he would use and how confident he was.
Soon the servant came to report that the altar was ready.
Li Shen then brought Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei to Hanfeng Palace.
Li Shen first looked at the altar and found that the three were ready. At this time, Li Chengqian and Wang De also came out and saw Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei bowing.
"Tenth brother, what are you going to do..."
"Pray for Aye." Li Shen said, then he came to the altar alone, picked up a stick of incense and lit it in the fire beside him.
Then raise your hands above your head.
"Let my uncle get well soon." After saying that, he inserted a bunch of incense into the incense burner.
"......"
The queen, Concubine Wei, Li Chengqian and Wang De were all stunned. What was going on? Is this also called praying for blessings?
Seeing Li Shen coming back, Li Chengqian hurriedly asked:
"End?"
"It's over." Li Shen nodded.
"Is that all?" Li Chengqian couldn't help but open his mouth when he got the answer.
"What? Isn't this pious enough?" Li Shen replied calmly.
"You haven't read the eulogy yet?" Li Chengqian was about to collapse. Wasn't this too much of a joke? Even Concubine Wei couldn't stand it anymore.
"Shen'er, shouldn't you be more pious? This is not a joke."
"Well, I sincerely hope that Aye will recover soon.
Okay, let’s go in and see Aye.”
Upon hearing this, Li Shen turned around, clasped his fists towards the sky, and said something casually.
(Today I decided to change the network and install another one. If one doesn’t work, I can use another one.)
