Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 25 Princess Changle’s speculation!
at the same time.

Changle Palace.

Taking advantage of the night, Li Shimin came to see his daughter Changle.

This is also his routine these days.

He would come to see her every night, hoping to see some improvement in his daughter's condition. Then he would go to bed with Empress Changsun. When Empress Changsun mentioned Changle again, he would say something good to her.

But these days, nothing good happens...
The condition is getting worse and worse.

There is no possibility or hope of improvement.

tonight,

Li Shimin was extremely sad. In addition to the blow of Changle's terminal illness, he suffered another blow today: the disappearance of Xiao Sizi.

Coming to see Changle in a depressed mood, Changle, who was already meticulous, discovered at the first moment that something was wrong with her father.

"Father, something happened?"

Changle asked with a pale face.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile: "It's okay, what else can the emperor do, father..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Princess Changle's rolling eyes.

"Don't be ridiculous, Father. You know you can't hide it from me."

Princess Changle seemed very confident.

She also had the capital to be confident. As Li Shimin's most beloved daughter, she had not only seen the majestic Li Shimin, but also often seen the embarrassed Li Shimin.

In the eyes of officials and even the people of the world, Li Shimin was an invincible general of heavenly strategy, and nothing in the world could stump him.

He is invincible and is also the patron saint of the Tang Dynasty.

The most perfect person in the world today is only Li Shimin!

This is how most people see Li Shimin.

Li Shimin...is certainly perfect.

Can….
As long as you are human, you will have shortcomings and will have times of loss.

The same was true of Li Shimin.

Princess Changle had seen Li Shimin like this many times.

This also made Princess Changle realize that her father was not only a unique man in the world, but also a man who could feel sad and heartbroken.

He...is also one of the common people.

This is Princess Changle’s opinion.

So whenever Li Shimin was sad, Princess Changle would come forward to comfort him. She understood Li Shimin better than anyone else!

Therefore,
She could now easily tell whether her father was happy or sad.

"Changle, you, I can't hide anything from you."

Li Shimin laughed, then sighed and said, "There is something that I don't know whether I should tell your mother."

"Your mother, as you know, has been exhausted recently because of your affairs. If she knew what happened today, then she...Father, I don't know how she would collapse."

"Logically, you should keep it a secret from her, but emotionally, Father thinks you should tell your mother. Now, Father doesn't know what to do."

Princess Changle glanced at him, thoughtfully: "Is it related to Xiao Sizi?"

Li Shimin was stunned.

Princess Changle laughed when she saw this.

She is the eldest princess of the empire and also an extremely famous woman in the empire, famous for her beauty.

In the past, her smile was extremely charming and as beautiful as a flower.

But now that she is suffering from a terminal illness, this smile is full of fatigue and desolation.

No longer the same as before.

"Father, I just made a guess, but I didn't expect that I would get it right."

"It's really related to that little girl Xiao Sizi. She has been running around and causing trouble because of me recently, giving you two a headache."

"Did I make any mistakes today? Hmm~ Come to think of it, why didn't Xiao Sizi come to see me tonight? Did you punish me to face the wall and reflect on my mistakes?"

Princess Changle kept speculating. Little Sizi often caused trouble, which gave Li Shimin a headache, but he didn't dare to tell Empress Changsun, especially at this critical moment.

This had happened several times before, and Princess Changle thought it would be the same this time.

But looking at Li Shimin's increasingly calm expression, something seemed to be wrong.

Can't help but,
Princess Changle's expression also turned serious.

Just as she was about to continue asking, the Jinwu Guards walked in.

"Your Majesty, urgent news!"

The Jinwu Guards looked hurried.

Li Shimin said casually: "Speak!"

But the Jinwu Guards did not say anything, they just stood there quietly.

Li Shimin seemed to realize something and his eyes flickered.

"Changle, Father will be out for a while."

Li Shimin spoke with a smile.

"Ah."

Princess Changle nodded uneasily.

She was still wondering what had happened to Xiao Sizi that made her father so solemn.

Li Shimin walked out.

"Tell me, what new discoveries have you made in the ancient tomb?"

Li Shimin asked.

Changle is one of his own family members, and he had never hidden things from Changle before.

These Jinwu Guards also knew about it, but they didn't dare to say it in front of Changle tonight. It could only be about the ancient tomb!

Because Li Shimin had instructed that the matter should not be publicized anywhere except by him for the time being!

"Your Majesty, a bronze door has appeared in the ancient tomb! And there is a warning from the First Emperor!"

The Jinwu Guards looked solemn.

Li Shimin heard this and his eyes widened in an instant, "What! There is a hidden world in the ancient tomb? And it is related to the First Emperor?"

"Could it be... that this is really the place where the immortal who guards the mausoleum of the Meng family is sleeping? Wait, the warning of the First Emperor, what did the First Emperor say?"

Li Shimin asked hurriedly.

The Jinwu Guard took a deep breath and spoke word by word: "This is where the master is sleeping! All the people of the Great Qin, except the Meng family, are not allowed to disturb! Those who violate this will be killed without mercy!"

Li Shimin's pupils shrank.

Jinwuwei thought for a moment and continued, "Opening this bronze door once caused the entire ancient tomb to shake. The things inside the bronze door are definitely not simple. Now Commander Li has entered with several brothers and the two members of the Meng family."

Li Shimin's voice trembled slightly: "Have they come out yet?"

"not yet."

"How long have you been in there?"

"Almost half an hour. Originally, I wanted to report this to you as soon as possible, but seeing that you and His Highness Changle were talking happily, I did not disturb you. But just now, the brothers over there said that the ancient tomb was shaking again. I felt that this matter could not be delayed, so I came to report it to you."

Hearing this, Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "I understand. When you return, continue to pay attention to the ancient tomb. If Li Junxian hasn't come out before sunrise tomorrow, let Cheng Chumo take over the responsibility and arrange the next step of the search."

The Jinwu Guards bowed and said, "I obey your orders!"

He retreated quickly.

After he left, Li Shimin stared blankly in the direction of the ancient tomb, his voice trembling: "The teacher of Zulong... the one mentioned in some unofficial history, could it be... that he is really real?"

Although there was some evidence in front of him, Li Shimin remained skeptical until he met the real person.

This is what he should do in this position.

He was an emperor who had to receive files from all over the country every day that required his approval. Among them were many fictitious projects that required money from the court.

If we didn’t remain skeptical and believed in everything, the Tang Dynasty would have perished long ago!
