Cuiwei's palace was covered with plain white silk, and Princess Pingyang rode to the palace gate. Looking at the white in front of her, her nose felt sore. Although she knew about Li Shimin's illness a few days ago, Li Shimin's health was not very good during this period, so she didn't care. However, last night, she suddenly received news that Li Shimin was seriously ill, which made her panic.

Because of the Xuanwu Gate incident, Princess Pingyang never forgave Li Shimin, the younger brother. Even the siblings and brothers had not met for many years. Even if Li Shimin went to Li Xiu's house in person, she avoided him, which made Li Shimin very helpless and later gradually died of this heart.

However, although Princess Pingyang did not forgive Li Shimin, she was Li Shimin's elder sister after all, and the two grew up together and had a very strong relationship. Of course, it was because of the deep relationship that caused Li Shimin to kill their elder brother Li Jiancheng, Princess Pingyang could not forgive him anyway, which made the siblings and brothers not have any contact for nearly thirty years.

However, as the saying goes, the deeper the hatred, the deeper the love. Although Princess Pingyang hated Li Shimin, she actually cared about him very much. So when she learned that he was critically ill, she felt like she was struck by lightning and even wanted to come and see Li Shimin again for the last time. But just as she was about to leave, she thought of Li Jiancheng, the eldest brother who died tragically at the hands of Li Shimin, which made her hesitate a little. As a result, in this hesitation, she delayed until Li Shimin's death.

When Princess Pingyang heard the news of Li Shimin's death, she finally couldn't help it anymore and immediately sent someone to fly to Cuiwei Palace. However, when she saw the Cuiwei Palace, which was already covered in plain white, her tears couldn't help but burst out.

Although she knew that Li Shimin had passed away, Princess Pingyang decided to meet him, so she stepped in and was about to go in. However, the guards guarding the gate did not recognize her, so she immediately stopped her and said, "Stop the forbidden area in the palace!"

"Get out of the way, I'm going to visit my younger brother!" Princess Pingyang was immersed in grief and immediately ordered coldly. She came alone, and all the guards were left behind by her. No one followed her at this time, and naturally no one could prove her identity.

The guards at the palace gate were stunned when they heard this, thinking that this was Cuiwei Palace, how could anyone come here to find their younger brother? However, although they didn't know Princess Pingyang, they also saw that this lady was graceful and was definitely not an ordinary woman, so they didn't dare to be presumptuous. They were about to persuade the other party to leave with kind words.

But at this moment, an old eunuch came out from the palace gate. When he saw Princess Pingyang, he immediately ran forward excitedly and said, "I will see Your Highness the Princess!"

Princess Pingyang was stunned when she saw this old eunuch. She felt that the other person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember the other person's name. She frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Zhao Qin, who is also an old man from Tiance Mansion. He has met the princess with His Majesty. Before His Majesty passed away, he ordered me to stay in front of the palace gate and said that the princess might come!" This old eunuch Zhao Qin saluted to Princess Pingyang again. At the end of the conversation, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little red.

"He...he guessed that I was coming?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but shed tears again when she heard Zhao Qin's answer. She thought that she should give up if she refused to meet Li Shimin for the past 30 years, but she didn't expect that she would still remember herself at the end, and even guessed that she would come.

"Your Majesty woke up for a while yesterday afternoon, but did not summon anyone. Instead, he forced himself to write a letter to the princess, and then told me that if the princess comes, I will hand over this letter to you, and I will keep waiting at the palace gate and wait for the princess!" Zhao Qin said again at this time.

"Let me lead the way and take me to see my third brother!" Princess Pingyang ordered again. After so many years, she finally called out the title "third brother".

Zhao Qin hurriedly agreed, and then personally led Princess Pingyang into Cuiwei Palace. The guards guarding the gate finally knew Princess Pingyang's identity. They bowed and looked extremely respectful. After all, the lady in front of her was not only His Royal Highness of the Tang Dynasty, but also was once a female general with great military achievements. Even after so many years, Princess Pingyang's reputation was still circulated in the army.

At that moment, Princess Pingyang walked through the two palaces in front and finally came to Li Shimin's bedroom Hanfeng Hall. Li Shimin died here yesterday and his body had not been transported to the Tingling Hall of Tai Chi Palace. So when Princess Pingyang came here, she saw Li Shimin lying on the bed at a glance.

I saw Li Shimin wearing the crown of an emperor at this time, but his face was gray and his cheeks were deeply sunken. Although his hair and beard were combed very neatly, they were snow-white, looking like an old man in his seventies or eighties. However, Li Shimin's real age was less than 60 years old.

"Third brother~" Seeing Li Shimin's remains, Princess Pingyang finally couldn't help crying. She walked a few steps to Li Shimin's bed, reached out to hold his cold palm and cried. After all, the brother-in-law's love was deep, and even if there were many grudges in the past, it disappeared with Li Shimin's death.

Zhao Qin is an old man around Li Shimin and one of the most powerful eunuchs in the inner palace. However, even so, he actually has no right to get close to Li Shimin's body. However, he received Li Shimin's instructions in advance so that he could bring Princess Pingyang in. When he saw Princess Pingyang crying, he did not dare to persuade him, but stood quietly aside and waited.

After a while, Princess Pingyang finally stopped crying and turned her head to Zhao Qin and said, "Where is the letter I have given to me by my third brother?"

"It's in the jade box next to Your Majesty's pillow!" Zhao Qin pointed to Li Shimin's bedside and said.

Princess Pingyang turned her head and saw a jade box. She immediately reached out and took it to open it. As a result, a letter inside was revealed, with four big words "Three Sisters' Kids" written on it. However, although the handwriting was written by Li Shimin, the font was somewhat deformed, which made Princess Pingyang, who was proficient in calligraphy, see at a glance that when Li Shimin wrote these words, his body was extremely weak, and it became very difficult to hold the pen.

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, Princess Pingyang's eyes became blurred again. After a while, she wiped away her tears. Just as she was about to open the letter, she suddenly saw Li Xiu quickly walking in from outside the hall. It turned out that he knew that Princess Pingyang was here when he returned home, so he rushed over immediately, but he happened to see Princess Pingyang being about to open the letter.
