"Husband~" Princess Pingyang, who was about to open the letter, couldn't help but turn red when she saw Li Xiu, and tears kept flowing. After Li Shimin passed away, one more relative was missing.

Li Xiu also understood the pain in his wife's heart. He walked up quickly and gently supported her and said softly: "Your Majesty is walking peacefully, you don't have to be too sad. And I, Jin'er, Luo'er and others are with you, so you must take care of yourself!"

Faced with her husband's comfort, Princess Pingyang nodded. She had been crying for so long just now, and the grief in her heart was almost vented. In addition, she was not a woman who likes to cry, so she quickly stopped her tears this time.

"Is this a letter left to you by Your Majesty?" At this time, Li Xiu also discovered the letter in Princess Pingyang's hand and couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I haven't read it yet. My husband is here, let's watch it together!" Princess Pingyang nodded immediately. After saying that, she reached out to open the envelope and then pulled out the letter paper. As a result, when she saw the content on the letter, Princess Pingyang's nose felt sore and tears couldn't stop flowing out again.

Li Xiu sighed secretly when he saw the content on the letter, and saw that only the three words "I'm sorry" were written on the letter. Maybe others might not understand the meaning of these three words, but Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang both understood very well that this was Li Shimin apologizing for the Xuanwu Gate incident thirty years ago.

Speaking of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, although Li Shimin always felt that the person he was most sorry for was Princess Pingyang, the two siblings were very stubborn. Princess Pingyang refused to forgive him, and Li Shimin never said "I'm sorry" to his sister. As a result, the stalemate lasted for nearly thirty years, but he did not expect that Li Shimin bowed his head to Princess Pingyang to apologize at the last moment.

Looking at the three simple words on the letter, Princess Pingyang shed tears for a while, and finally stopped crying under Li Xiu's persuasion. However, Princess Pingyang had just stopped crying, but Li Zhi came back from Tai Chi Palace. It turned out that he wanted to keep a spirit for Li Shimin. As a result, when aunts and nephews met, they cried again, which made Li Xiu have no choice.

In the end, Li Zhi saw that Li Xiu was exhausted, so he advised Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu to go back and rest, but he still wanted to stay here to keep a guard for Li Shimin. In addition, some royal families also came here. The next day they would escort Li Shimin's body back to Chang'an together.

After returning home, Li Xiu felt exhausted. After all, he had hardly slept much in the past two or three days. In addition, he was no longer young anymore, and his body's recovery was far less than that of a young man. He didn't feel anything when he was busy outside before, but as soon as he returned home, he immediately felt sore all over. Yuechan personally served him to take a bath, but just halfway through the shower, Li Xiu fell asleep in the bath. When he woke up again, it was already the next morning.

However, even after a night of rest, Li Xiu still felt that the fatigue on his body had not been eliminated. However, he still needed to deal with Li Shimin's funeral. So after forcing breakfast, he also took a carriage to Cuiwei Palace again, and then presided over the transportation of Li Shimin's body to the Tingling Hall of Tai Chi Palace, and was officially buried three days later.

After the first seven years passed, princes from all over the country also rushed to Chang'an. Speaking of which, when Li Yuan died, Li Shimin did not call his brothers to Chang'an, mainly because he was not in a proper position. Although he later held the throne, he was still a little guilty after all, but Li Zhi did not have this concern. After all, he was a legitimate prince, and he also wanted to hold a grand funeral for his father, so princes from all walks of life were also recalled to Chang'an.

Among them, Li Taili was the closest, and was also the first prince to arrive in Chang'an. He was demoted to a commoner because of his failure to fight for the throne, but a few years later, Li Shimin still couldn't bear it, so he appointed Li Tai as King Pu again, with his fief in Henan and not far from Luoyang, so he was the first to arrive in Chang'an.

Li Zhi did not feel aggrieved about Li Tai's brother because of what happened back then. He also considered that Li Tai, Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji had bad relationships, so he went to greet him in person. As a result, the two brothers hugged their heads and cried after meeting. Then Li Tai stayed in front of Li Shimin's spirit for three days without eating or drinking, but finally fainted from strength to strength. Such filial piety is not in vain.

In addition, Li Xiu also met Li Tai several times in front of the spirit, but found that Li Tai was much thinner than before, and his face was not very healthy. It seemed that his failure to compete for the throne had a great blow to him. Even if Li Shimin restored his title to Prince, he could not get him out of the shadow of failure.

Then other princes rushed to Chang'an, and the last one to come to Chang'an was Li Chengqian. He was demoted to the distant Quzhou, twice as far away as Li Ke's Yangzhou, so when he arrived in Chang'an, Li Shimin was about to be buried, but Li Chengqian finally arrived.

Li Zhi did not favor one and the other, and also welcomed Li Chengqian in person. This time Li Xiu accompanied him personally. When he saw Li Chengqian, he found that he was darker and thinner than before, but his whole body was very full, which was in a strong contrast with Li Tai before.

Compared to Li Zhi, Li Chengqian was very restrained in his feelings. Although he was very sad, he still gave Li Zhi a courtesy and then came to see Li Xiu again. The teachers and students had not seen each other for many years. Now when they met again, they found that the other party had changed a lot, especially Li Xiu was old and some white hair appeared on his head, which made Li Chengqian sigh.

Then Li Zhi personally sent Li Chengqian to the Spirit Hall. When the other brothers and sisters saw Li Chengqian, they all came forward to salute, but Li Tai was still a little unable to let go. In the end, Li Chengqian took the initiative to say hello to Li Tai. After chatting for a few words, they were also a little sad.

However, although Li Chengqian could control his feelings, he couldn't help crying when he came to Li Shimin's spirit. Although he had hated Li Shimin, the grudges of the past had long disappeared with the wind. Now he is just a son who cried for his deceased father. In the end, Li Xiu and Li Zhi personally persuaded him, which made Li Chengqian stop crying.

With the arrival of Li Chengqian, Li Shimin's funeral finally reached the last and most solemn step, which was to bury. The day of burial had long been selected by the Imperial Heaven Supervision, and Zhaoling was also prepared, because Li Shimin had a lasting wish to bury with Empress Changsun, so the door of the tomb had also been opened.
