There was no panic on Changsun Wugou's face, instead she looked very calm.

"Your Majesty, how could I know such a thing? I am just an ordinary woman in the palace! I can't even control my own son. How can I look at the three realms and the Tang Dynasty? If Your Majesty thinks that what those officials said is right! You can send troops to Changsun clan, and I will never say a word."

Li Shimin's expression froze, and he kept his mouth shut without saying a word.

Changsun Wugou's tactic of retreating to advance really hit his sore spot.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has just enjoyed a little peace, how can we rashly resort to war?

Rather than calling the Queen today to comfort her, he actually wanted to control Changsun through the Queen's hand.

Unfortunately, the queen was not fooled at all! On the contrary, she outwitted him and the prince beat the Taoist priest severely! He knew that the Taoist priest was fortune-telling for Changsun Wugou, but he still beat him so hard!

When the Taoist priest died, the entire Changsun clan must have had some complaints about the queen.

"Empress, the prince is still immature! He does things without considering the consequences, but you and I are not children. We are not practitioners either, so we must not act recklessly!"

Li Shimin stood up and said, "Today, I know that you are resentful! After all, that Purple Gold Taoist was indeed very disrespectful. But have you ever thought that what Purple Gold Taoist did might have been instructed by someone behind him?"

Emperor Li Shimin spoke slowly and steadily. His eyes were full of dignity. But deep inside, he hid a deep emotion that was hard to let go.

Zhangsun Wugou, who had been with Li Shimin for many years, knew immediately that if this matter did not come to a conclusion, this ambitious emperor would probably make a decisive decision and would not give Li Shimin a chance to suffer the consequences.

"Your Majesty, I understand that the actions of the Purple Gold Taoist are most likely related to the great god behind it. It is precisely because of this that I want to bring the author of the immortal book Records of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality into the royal camp. After all, this person will surely achieve great things in the future! But... now it seems that I am anxious."

Zhangsun Wugou was very smart, and her words were three-tenths true and seven-tenths false. Even Li Shimin, the emperor, could not refute it too much. After all, the Zhangsun family became noble because of Zhangsun Wugou, and now they are royal relatives.

Could it be that this is not considered royal family?

More importantly, Empress Changsun saw this as a way to win glory for the human race and the Tang Dynasty! Considering the future, no matter what the result is, the starting point is excellent.

As an emperor, if you are intolerant and continue to pursue the matter, you will inevitably be criticized.

Li Shimin nodded gently and said with emotion: "Even though the queen is in the deep palace, she still cares about the people and has never been decadent or lazy. This alone makes me very happy."

Zhangsun Wugou felt a little relieved and smiled again. He walked forward to support Li Shimin and sat back on the dragon throne. The tension in the hall, which was originally quite tense... and even had a tit-for-tat tone, quietly dissipated.

"Your Majesty, although I have lived in the palace for a long time, I still know a little about what happened in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, there are several young men in the Changsun family who have the ambition to do great things! Therefore, I was soft-hearted for a moment and gave some extra help."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "The young people of the Changsun family, who are limited by their small population, are favored by the Queen! They seem to be very outstanding... In this case, why not let them enter the East Palace and handle some tedious matters for the Crown Prince, so that they don't have to bother you every day."

As Li Shimin said this, he had already picked up the brush in front of the case and wrote a draft in Feibai style, waiting for the follow-up conversation to be over! These young people from the Changsun family were also tied to Li Chengqian's East Palace chariot.

Changsun Wugou looked at the gorgeous font, but he felt no more appreciation in his heart, only a deep sense of heaviness.

Li Shimin tilted his head slightly and saw the dissatisfaction on Changsun Wugou's face, but he ignored it and spoke to himself.

"This time, the action taken by Taoist Zijin may cause some troubles! Although I have asked many ministers to keep this matter a secret, there is always a wall that can penetrate the air. In the eyes of some people, this is a great opportunity."

Empress Changsun was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of coldness immediately appeared on her face.

"Your Majesty... Are you saying that someone wants to take advantage of this incident to attack the Crown Prince?"

Li Shimin pretended that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly stood up.

"Queen, you don't have to worry! I was just saying that... Moreover, Li Chengqian's current cultivation level ranks among the many immortal cultivators in Chang'an City! He is definitely capable of protecting himself. Moreover, I have secretly placed experts to protect the East Palace and the government offices that the Crown Prince often visits! This is just to be on the safe side, Queen, don't worry too much."

As Li Chengqian's biological mother, how could Empress Changsun not be anxious?

In the eyes of Empress Changsun, as a member of the Changsun clan, she still had to consider the Changsun family. Moreover, the Changsun family would become even stronger and larger in the future, which would definitely be of great help to Li Chengqian.

But... as the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against a thief in your own home.

No wonder Li Shimin came to talk to me about this matter!

It turns out that behind this, the purpose of the Changsun family is probably not just to disrupt the situation and fish in troubled waters! It is also very likely that they have secretly surrendered to the heaven or Buddhism, otherwise...why would they let such a domineering person enter the palace, causing the situation to evolve to this point.

So when Empress Changsun thought of this, she felt a chill in her heart.

If Li Chengqian was really assassinated, then his mother, the crown prince, would have become the mastermind behind the assassination!

In the eyes of future generations, I am afraid that the name of this virtuous queen mother will become a synonym for jealousy and hatred! And she will be cursed for thousands of generations.

"Queen, please go back to the palace and rest! I still have some important things to do!" Li Shimin saw that Empress Zhangsun was in doubt and misgivings, so he immediately stopped talking!

This was only half of the words, not the whole story... Naturally, this made Empress Changsun even more worried.

Unconsciously, they had already walked out of the large palace behind the imperial study. At the door, the imperial teacher Yuan Tiangang and others received a call from the eunuch. They all greeted the queen and stepped into the palace gate.

It was not until this time that Empress Changsun came back to her senses! Seeing Yuan Tiangang's disciples being left outside the hall! Suddenly, her heart moved, and she called out.

"Little Taoist priest, please come over here... I have something to ask you."

This little Taoist priest had red lips and white teeth, and was about sixteen or seventeen years old! He came to the queen a few meters away and paid homage respectfully!
