Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Chapter 631: Deep Feelings

Under the corridor outside the Lizheng Hall, the cold winter wind cut across Li Chengqian's cheeks like a knife, but he was completely unaware.

His eyes were always fixed on the closed carved door.

He stopped from time to time, frowned, listened attentively to the movements in the hall, and prayed silently in his heart that Su Zhi's mood would improve.

After an unknown amount of time, the palace door creaked open, and Little Peach Red rushed out like a happy little bird, her face filled with unprecedented joy, her eyes smiling into crescents, and she shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, the Queen is smiling, Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian turned around abruptly, a glimmer of hope instantly lit up in his eyes, and his originally gloomy face also brightened up.

He strode forward and asked anxiously, "How is it? Have you put on the wig for the queen?"

Xiao Taohong even stood on tiptoe unconsciously.

"Your Majesty! It's on! Your Majesty is the same as before! Your Majesty!"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks.

Xiao Taohong grew up with Su Zhi since childhood. They are like sisters, and the happy times they spent together seem to be just yesterday.

Seeing Su Zhi becoming increasingly thinner and less radiant due to illness, Xiao Taohong felt extremely distressed.

Now seeing Su Zhi smiling again, the excitement in her heart made her unable to control her emotions any longer.

"Okay, then I'll go in and take a look."

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil.

At this moment, Su Zhi was sitting quietly in front of a carved bronze mirror, looking at herself in the mirror with somewhat empty eyes.

Since she fell ill, her hair has been falling out in clumps. Every morning when she wakes up, her pillow is covered with fallen hair, which makes her feel extremely helpless.

Since then, she has shut herself off from others and refused to see anyone.

Even when her father Su Tan and his daughter Li Jingyi came to visit her with great concern, she hardened her heart and repeatedly turned them away.

Apart from the caring little Taohong, she would sometimes subconsciously avoid Li Chengqian. She was afraid to see the pity and heartache in their eyes, and she hoped that what would remain in their memory would always be the smiling self.

Li Chengqian walked gently behind Su Zhi. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently stroked her black and smooth wig, which fell on his fingertips like a waterfall.

His voice was low and gentle, and he spoke slowly with love: "Lingxi'er, you are so beautiful. You are as stunning as when I first saw you. You are so beautiful."

That voice contained beautiful memories of their meeting and knowing each other in their youth. Every affectionate look and every sweet laugh emerged one by one in these gentle words.

Su Zhi looked quietly at Li Chengqian behind her through the bronze mirror, with complex emotions surging in her eyes, including touching, nostalgic, and a hint of unspeakable guilt.

"Brother Qian, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Her voice was apologetic.

Li Chengqian lowered his head slightly, making his face level with Su Zhi's. He looked directly into her eyes with a fiery gaze and said seriously, "What are you talking about? In this world, there is no reason for a wife to cause trouble for her husband."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Don't be afraid, Lingxi'er. You and I will be recorded in history books together. From now on, we will be together forever."

"I will have your name recorded in the annals of history, and I will also have my mother's name recorded in the annals of history."

"From now on, the Han system will be restored, and women's names can also be recorded in history books."

Hearing this, Su Zhi's body stiffened slightly, then she slowly turned around, raised her head, and fixed her eyes on Li Chengqian.

She understood too well the profound meaning behind this action.

Since the Han Dynasty, for thousands of years, women's names have almost disappeared in history books. Even Empress Zhangsun, who was favored by Emperor Taizong, only appeared in history books with her surname and the honorific title of empress.

But now, her brother-in-law broke this thousand-year-old tradition for her.

This is not only love for her, but also a challenge to tradition. This deep affection makes the guilt in Su Zhi's heart surge like a surging tide.

Once upon a time, she hoped to walk through the long years hand in hand with him and see the flowers bloom and fall in the world, but now fate is so cruel. She feels that her life is disappearing bit by bit, and the time they spend together may be coming to an end, which makes her reluctant.

"Brother Qian, I'm a little scared."

There was a slight tremor in her voice. This fear was the fear of unknown death, the reluctance to leave her lover, and the unwillingness to accept the fickleness of fate.

Li Chengqian gently embraced her in his arms without hesitation, his arms tightly around her.

"Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be with you."

He patted Su Zhi's back gently.

"Yier misses you so much. Can I bring Yier to see you tomorrow? My father-in-law and mother-in-law are also very worried about you. Can I call them together tomorrow?"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Su Zhi's eyes became hot and tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded vigorously and said softly, "Okay."

Thinking back to when she had repeatedly refused her family's visits, she felt remorseful.

In fact, doesn't she also miss her daughter and her parents?

It was just her inferiority complex about the change in her appearance that made her refuse again and again.

Now, with this wig, she seems to have regained some courage and wants to hug those she loves again.

She longed to hug her daughter again and feel that warm little body. She missed her parents' concerned eyes and the warm times when the family sat together.

"Lingxi'er, don't be afraid. Our You'er will be back soon. When the time comes, our family will be reunited. This year, let's have a reunion dinner together. Tomorrow, maybe our Tang Dynasty will have many talented people again. By then, maybe someone can cure your illness."

Li Chengqian whispered softly in Su Zhi's ear, his words expressing his expectations for the future.

"Can it really be cured, Brother Qian?"

Su Zhi looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

Li Chengqian nodded.

"It can be cured. My Great Tang is full of talented people. With all the talents in the world, is it possible that we cannot cure my queen?"

"It will definitely get better. This year, you take a rest, and I will cook for myself and help myself."

"Also, I'll invite more people over this year to liven things up."

"I'm also calling back Qingque and Zhinu this year, as well as the envoys from the capital and my students."

"Let them come to the palace for dinner, so that we can have a reunion together and my queen can get better soon."
