This sudden scene stunned everyone present, even the usually carefree Li Jue was momentarily taken aback.

Although he wasn't particularly fond of his fourth uncle, Li Tai, he had grown to like this incredibly intelligent yet honest and lovable man after spending time with him.

Therefore, he very much did not want Li Tai to become the first person in the Tang Dynasty to sacrifice himself for gunpowder.

"Fourth Uncle!"

Li Jue rushed to Li Tai, picked him up from the ground, and shook him repeatedly.

After a moment of stunned silence, Li Shimin rushed over and forcibly snatched Li Tai from Li Jue's hands. But when he saw blood flowing continuously from Li Tai's ears and nostrils, he immediately lost his composure.

"Imperial Physician!"

"Your Majesty, we left in such a hurry that we didn't bring the imperial physicians with us..."

"Then hurry up and prepare the carriage to take Qingque back to the palace to treat her injuries!"

Li Shimin's cry for "treatment" was filled with despair. Anyone with eyes could see that Li Tai was barely breathing.

But Li Shimin was unwilling to accept this fact. He had already seen one person with black hair pass away, and he was absolutely unwilling to see a second one pass away.

“Grandpa…”

"Shut up!"

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for this piece of junk you concocted, your fourth uncle wouldn't have died..."

Seeing that Li Er was like a mad lion, Li Jue could only wisely shut up.

Li Shimin picked up Li Tai, boarded the carriage, and sped towards the palace. Ahead of him were cavalrymen from the Hundred Cavalry Division, who rushed to the palace to summon the imperial physicians.

Therefore, as soon as Li Tai's carriage arrived at the palace gate, several imperial physicians rushed over immediately.

The imperial physician first took Li Tai's pulse at the palace gate. Seeing that Li Tai was not dead, he hurriedly took him to the Imperial Hospital for treatment.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Wei is seriously injured. I'm afraid we'll need to use acupuncture to release the stagnant blood from his body!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get Qingque treated right away!"

"promise!"

Before long, the imperial physician took out a row of gold needles and pricked Li Tai's acupoints a few times.

Seeing the increasing amount of blood flowing from his nose and ears, Li Shimin was so angry that he jumped up and down and cursed.

"Do you even know how to heal? If you kill my Azure Sparrow, I'll make you all pay with your lives!"

"Your Majesty, we are currently treating our injuries!"

Just as Li Shimin was roaring angrily, Sun Simiao arrived in a hurry at Li Jue's urging.

When the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy saw that the Immortal Sun had arrived, they quickly gave up their seats.

When Li Shimin met Sun Simiao, his tone softened considerably.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Sun!"

Sun Simiao felt Li Tai's pulse, then flipped his eyelids over, and said in an annoyed tone.

"Don't worry, you won't die!"

Upon hearing Sun Simiao's words, the entire Imperial Medical Academy breathed a sigh of relief, and even Li Shimin's expression was no longer as grim as it had been at the beginning.

"Dr. Sun, I just performed acupuncture on Prince Wei to allow the blood clots in his skull to drain out through his ears and nose..."

Sun Simiao nodded upon hearing this.

"You did the right thing!"

"Such internal injuries should be treated by bloodletting immediately to prevent blood clots from remaining in the brain!"

Upon seeing that the divine physician Sun was standing up for him, the imperial physician immediately gave Li Shimin a provocative look.

Li Shimin had no time to pay attention to him; his mind was completely focused on Li Tai, who was lying in the hospital bed.

"Master Sun, how long will it take for my Azure Sparrow to wake up?"

Sun Simiao pondered for a moment upon hearing this and then replied.

"It's unlikely to be effective within one or two hours; it will take at least several hours to recover."

"Judging from the current weather, it will probably be afternoon at the earliest!"

"Oh oh oh..."

"Oh, by the way, why did Master Sun arrive so quickly?"

Sun Simiao rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

"What else could it be? Of course, it's because your grandson kidnapped him!"

"My eldest grandson?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin secretly regretted his earlier reprimand of Li Jue.

After all, this matter had little to do with Li Jue, and Li Jue had repeatedly advised Li Tai to be careful.

Where is Li Jue?

"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson did not enter the palace with Master Sun; it is said that he has been waiting outside the palace..."

Li Shimin frowned slightly upon hearing this, somewhat dissatisfied with Li Jue's performance.

I only scolded him a few times, how dare he hold a grudge?

Sun Simiao, being an old and shrewd man, could not possibly fail to see through Li Shimin's thoughts, and immediately explained on behalf of his junior brother.

"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson may be feeling guilty, which is why he is embarrassed to enter the palace."

"But he was more worried about His Highness Prince Wei than anyone else, and he stayed at the palace gate, just wanting to know about his fourth uncle's injuries as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin let out a long sigh.

"These past two months, the uncle and nephew have really been having a good time together..."

"Master Sun, are you sure there's nothing wrong with my Azure Sparrow?"

Sun Simiao smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"His Highness Prince Wei was truly blessed by the gods and Buddhas this time. If his nose and ears hadn't bled a little less, he might be dead by now..."

"oh?"

"What does this mean?"

"Your Majesty may not know this, but once a blood vessel in the human body ruptures, the blood must find a place to go. It will either flow out through the seven orifices or flow erratically within the body and brain."

"His Highness Prince Wei was incredibly lucky. The moment he was injured, his disordered blood and qi burst through his nostrils and ears, causing the raging blood to flow out, which is how he managed to survive!"

"Oh oh oh..."

"So, my Azure Sparrow Bloodletting was the right choice?"

"certainly!"

"Actually, these principles were all taught to me by my eldest grandson. It's really a bit like showing off my limited skills in front of His Majesty, hahaha!"
