Gao Shilian knew very well that the little prince's trick this time was too subtle.

Now he has changed from active to passive, forcing a prince to commit suicide. What a heinous crime this is.

Even if he has the Queen's support behind him, Li Shimin will not take his life.

Moreover, the Changsun family would not watch his Gao Shilian family being destroyed.

But his reputation among the people and even scholars has been discredited.

He could fully imagine how the people would denounce him, and some unofficial biographies written by folk scholars would definitely add fuel to the fire and make it look like an unjust case.

What's more, such a big event will definitely be recorded in the annals of history. This is an unavoidable fact.

It's hard to say how future generations will comment and how Gao Shilian will be reviled.

Now he can only rely on the queen to come forward and turn this matter into a minor one and eliminate the impact.

Gao Xingcheng looked at his much older father and couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken. The Gao family now relies on his father for support.

Although he now has an official position, he has not yet entered the core of power.

Gao Shilian asked him to marry Princess Dongyang to marry the royal family and preserve the family business.

"Aye, don't think so much. This matter will definitely be solved. Then go and beg the Queen."

Gao Xingxing comforted.

"Alas~~~" Gao Shilian sighed deeply and said nothing more.

After Princess Dongyang entered the palace, she went straight to the Zhengdian Hall. Just now, Gao Shicheng told her that her father, Gao Shilian, was sick from anger.

Let him go to the queen for help and send an imperial doctor.

When she arrived at the Li Zheng Hall, she didn't expect that Li Shimin was here, but she had already arrived and had no choice but to go in.

"See Aye, Mother."

"Dongyang is here, no need to be polite. Do you have anything to do with your mother?" Li Shimin asked.

"Aye, I came here to ask my mother to send an imperial doctor to Gaofu. Duke Shen fell ill." Dongyang answered truthfully.

"Falling sick? Didn't you already fall ill before?" Li Shimin asked knowingly.

Dongyang was helpless after hearing this. He was pretending before, but this time it seems to be true.

But marrying a chicken, marrying a dog, following a dog, this is her fate. She is very different from Gao Jingcheng.

At the time of the marriage, Gao Jingcheng was already in his thirties, while Dongyang was only a teenager at the time. However, for the sake of marriage, Dongyang was still surrendered to Gao Jingcheng by Li Shimin.

Although Gao Shilian was the uncle of Empress Changsun and Gao Xingyi was the cousin of Empress Changsun, they still did not change the reality.

"Go back to Aye, this time the condition has worsened again." Princess Dongyang could only reply like this.

Queen Changsun asked with a worried look:

"So what's going on now?"

After all, the two brothers and sisters, the eldest grandson, were raised by Gao Shilian since they were young. Whether it is family affection or repayment of kindness, the eldest grandson should care about them.

"It's not sure yet. I heard that he was unconscious, so he asked me to go into the palace and ask my mother to send an imperial doctor over to take a look." Princess Dongyang said.

"Come here, please order the Imperial Medical Office to send two imperial doctors to follow Dongyang to Duke Shen's Mansion." Li Shimin immediately ordered.

"Thank you Aye." Princess Dongyang hurriedly thanked her.

After Princess Dongyang left, Queen Changsun asked worriedly:

"Erlang, my uncle is seriously ill, and I plan to go over to visit him. What do you think?"

"It should be so, but Guanyin, I think it's better to go tomorrow. Let Shen Guogong have a good night's rest." Li Shimin comforted with a smile.

"Hey, why did you suddenly become seriously ill?" Empress Changsun sighed.

"In my opinion, Duke Shen must have read today's newspapers and learned about the rumors from the outside world." When he said this, Li Shimin's expression became unhappy.

If Lao Shi hadn't been so cunning and it had been any other son, Gao Shilian would have succeeded this time.

This old man didn't give him any face, he was still his son no matter what.

"Erlang, this matter is too big, it's best to calm it down as soon as possible." Queen Changsun said again.

"Well, I will take care of it of course, Maid Guanyin. Since you didn't interfere from the beginning this time, you shouldn't interfere in the future.

This time, Duke Shen did indeed go too far. Lao Shi is still my son and the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

He actually used such despicable methods to deal with a seventeen-year-old child, which was really a bit bullying.

It would be good to teach him a lesson. "Li Shimin explained his point of view and also warned Queen Changsun to leave it alone.

"Erlang, don't worry, I won't interfere. My uncle is kind to me in nurturing me, and Shen'er is kind to me in saving my life.

I just didn't expect that the matter would be so big. I thought it was just an ordinary conflict between the two families.

Sigh~~~ I just hope this matter can be settled as soon as possible. "Queen Changsun sighed again.

She had no choice but to help each other. She originally thought that the two families were fighting each other, but she didn't expect that it would develop into this.

Empress Sun knew very well that Gao Shilian pretended to be ill. Although she did not participate in politics,

But he still has the political sense he should have, otherwise he wouldn't be Li Shimin's good wife.

Li Shimin nodded and said nothing more.

He felt that he had to teach the Gao family a lesson in this matter, otherwise, if everyone would do this in the future, what would be the royal family's face?

"How is Shen'er doing now? Why don't I go and see Shen'er too." Queen Changsun said at this time.

"No need, you are his mother. This is against the rules. Besides, I have already gone to see her. It's nothing serious." Li Shimin said.

After Li Shimin came back, he didn't tell anyone about Li Shen's fake suicide by drowning himself in the river. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Queen Changsun was frightened when she found out about this. She kept asking how Li Shimin was doing, but Li Shimin just said that he had gone to see him and that he was fine now and was recuperating.

Therefore, Queen Changsun has always been uneasy, which makes Li Shimin very satisfied.

But what surprised Li Shimin was Concubine Wei's attitude.

When Li Shimin came to Concubine Wei's Daji Hall and wanted to comfort Concubine Wei, Concubine Wei was very calm.

This made Li Shimin very puzzled. His son committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and he acted like nothing happened.

In the end, Li Shimin couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked the questions in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Lao Shi committed suicide, why are you so calm? Are you sure that Lao Shi will be fine?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask was whether you two had already passed the Qi beforehand.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I knew in advance, it's that I knew Shen'er." Concubine Wei first stated that she was not conspiring with her son.

"Why is that?" Li Shimin asked.

"Because I know that Shen'er will not commit suicide, and his money has not been spent yet.

If one day Prince Ji's palace has no money, no acre of land, only four walls to live in, and nothing to grow, then there is no doubt that Shen'er will really commit suicide at that time.

Now I am sure that Shen'er will not. Concubine Wei Gui replied with certainty, "It's better to know a son than his mother." Concubine Wei Gui knew about Li Shen's urinary properties since she was a child.

Five words to describe it - lazy, greedy and slippery.
