"Are you not sick?"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde pointed to his heart and said.

"I'm sick, but it's a mental illness!"

"Your Majesty's refusal to acknowledge the eldest grandson has forced him to flee to the Turks. This troubles me greatly..."

"well!"

"How could I not feel pain in my heart?"

At this point, Li Shimin handed the report from the Western Regions to Yuchi Jingde.

"Look at this! The apprentices you've trained are expanding the territory of the Western Turks..."

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde hurriedly picked up the reports and began to read them. However, compared to Li Shimin's gloom, he was all smiles as he read them.

"As expected of my disciple, you have truly brought me honor!"

"To capture three cities in three days—that's a military genius, let alone in the Turkic Khaganate! Hahaha!"

"Huh!"

"The Western Turkic Khan is quite generous. He directly appointed our disciple as Shida Khan and also rewarded him with 50,000 yurts of herders!"

"The princes of our Great Tang Dynasty only have fiefdoms of one or two thousand households, which is not even a fraction of what others have..."

Li Shimin was so angry upon hearing this that he rolled his eyes.

"I can give him the world, but can the Western Turkic Khan do the same?"

Upon hearing His Majesty's words, Yuchi Jingde dared not praise the Western Turks any further and quickly complimented His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty, when do you plan to invite your eldest grandson back?"

"I sent people to invite him a long time ago, but there has been no news. I suspect that someone is doing something wrong and deliberately delaying, which is why I haven't been able to bring Li Jue back to me yet!"

"oh……"

"Then what does Your Majesty wish to do..."

"I intend to send you as an envoy to the Western Turks to bring that grandson back to me!"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde immediately jumped off the bed, knelt on one knee, and clasped his hands in a salute to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your trust and bring back the eldest grandson!"

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Yuchi Jingde's performance, and then pulled Sizi over and said.

"The rhinoceros will go too!"

"Your mission is ostensibly to bring back a fugitive from the Tang Dynasty, but in reality, you're inviting back your eldest grandson!"

"You must ensure the life of our eldest grandson, and we must never let the Turks know his true identity!"

"promise!"

"And it must be done quickly. I fear that if we delay any longer, the Western Turks will become a major threat to the Tang Dynasty..."

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde blinked, wondering if this was the real reason why His Majesty was so eager to bring back his eldest grandson.
