Chapter 330 Entering the game personally
Li Longji brought the imperial physician Wang Bing to the Prince Shou's Mansion. He talked with Zhang Mujin and others in the hall and asked Wang Bing to take Yang Yuhuan's pulse.

Yang Yuhuan was lying on the bed, with her face covered by a veil.

Wang Bing felt Yang Yuhuan's pulse and saw that she was wearing a veil. He said, "Princess, when treating a patient, one must observe, listen, ask and feel. I dare to ask you to take off your veil."

Yang Yuhuan said: "It's a bit inconvenient for me."

Wang Bing said: "If I have diagnosed the pulse incorrectly, I am afraid I cannot explain it to the Saint. I can only report the truth to the Saint."

Yang Yuhuan hesitated for a moment and took off her veil.

Wang Bing glanced at Yang Yuhuan's expression and asked, "What's wrong with you, Princess?"

Yang Yuhuan, who was lying on the bed, said, "I feel very depressed."

Wang Bing said: "The princess is not seriously ill. She must be worried about His Royal Highness Shou Wang. I will prescribe a medicine for her to relieve her qi. Please relax and she will recover in a few days."

Yang Yuhuan said, "Thank you, Doctor Wang."

"It is my duty." Wang Bing wrote a prescription, took his leave and went to report to Li Longji.

When Li Longji saw Wang Bing, he asked, "How is Princess Shou's health?"

Wang Bing said, "He is in good health. I guess he is worried about His Royal Highness Prince Shou."

"Worried about Shibalang?" Li Longji seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Heng went out to fight in the battlefields more than once or twice. Compared with the past, this time Li Heng was only in Tongguan, a hundred miles away, which was the closest to Yang Yuhuan. So would Yang Yuhuan still have to worry about getting sick?
Li Longji's suspicion deepened. He stood up and left, and came to the outside of Prince Shou's mansion and asked, "Does the Princess Shou look like she has had a rheumatoid arthritis?"

Wang Bing said, "Princess Shou's skin is as smooth as cream and as tender as water. It doesn't look like she has ever had a rheumatoid arthritis."

Li Longji was furious, but he forced himself to calm down and gritted his teeth and said, "He deserves death! He deserves death!"

After all, walk away.

……

As soon as Li Longji left, Concubine Wu Hui walked in, found Yang Yuhuan, and said, "Yuhuan, Concubine Mei sent a message that the emperor suspected that Ying'er was plotting a rebellion. You should be more careful in the capital."

Yang Yuhuan said, "The Saint has just been here, and Doctor Wang has also come to see me."

Zhang Mujin, who was standing by, was shocked when she heard this and said, "With Doctor Wang's medical skills, he can tell right away that my sister has never had wind sores."

"What?" Concubine Wu Hui stood up in shock and asked, "You have never had wind sores?"

Yang Yuhuan was unusually calm and said, "I dare not hide it from my mother. I have never had it before."

Concubine Wu Hui was lost in thought, looking at Yang Yuhuan's stunningly beautiful face. After a while, she figured out the reason and said, "Perhaps Ying'er just wanted to protect you, but to the saint, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor and also a suspicion of plotting something illegal."

Yang Yuhuan said, "I know my crime." Concubine Wu Huifei waved her hand to show that she didn't care, and thought, "Ying'er is now stationed in Tongguan, with powerful troops under his command. Before taking away Ying'er's military power, the saint will not take action against you, but he will send people to monitor you. After taking away Ying'er's military power, he will deal with you together. Now that the saint has not sent anyone to monitor you, you should escape quickly."

Yang Yuhuan pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "If I flee now, I will force you to rebel and become a disloyal and unfilial person. How can you pacify the world and save the people from danger? How will the glorious history books evaluate you?"

Concubine Wu Hui looked at Yang Yuhuan, dumbfounded, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Yang Yuhuan smiled and said, "I am so lucky to have met you. I have been in love with you for eighteen years. My life is complete. Even if I have to give up my life in Chang'an, I will not let you be labeled as unfaithful and unfilial."

Wu Huifei was stunned for a while, then said, "You stayed in Chang'an just to wait for Heng'er to come back and die together. You escape and send the news to Heng'er, so that you still have a chance to survive."

Yang Yuhuan shook her head and said with a smile: "With your wisdom and intelligence, even a saint cannot take away his power."

"If that's the case, why would you sacrifice your life in vain?" Concubine Wu Huifei was confused for a moment, but then she understood Yang Yuhuan's intention and said in shock, "You want the saint to kill you, so that the world will know that Ying'er had no choice but to do it, and give Ying'er a chance to clear the emperor's side. Do you want to use your life to clear Ying'er of the charge of disloyalty and unfilial piety?"

Yang Yuhuan nodded and said, "I made this decision a long, long time ago. This is the last thing I can do for you, my dear."

Yang Yuhuan knew very well that Li Longji was power-hungry. No matter how great Li Heng's achievements were, he would not take the initiative to hand over power to Li Heng. He would only be on guard against Li Heng. Therefore, no matter whether Li Heng won or lost in suppressing the rebellion, their family could only either sit and wait for death or go for it.

She also knew that Li Longji was very fond of the art of balancing and micro-manipulation. With the Tang Dynasty in Li Longji's hands, the rebellion would be difficult to quell in a short period of time and would only drag more people into the water.

During these years she has been at the frontier, experiencing the cruelty of war all the time. She has seen countless soldiers go and never come back, countless parents lose their children, countless wives lose their husbands, and countless children lose their fathers. She stayed behind to provide relief to the soldiers' families, saw bodies being sent back one after another, and heard mournful cries echoing day and night... So, if possible, she hopes to control the war to a minimum.

She had followed Li Heng for so many years, and she knew that Li Heng could have kept his troops in place, waiting for the world to become more chaotic, and then control Li Longji, but he had to come back to guard Tongguan.

First, Li Heng's mother and siblings were all in Chang'an. If Li Heng didn't come, his relatives would be under double threat from Li Longji and the rebels.

Second, Chang'an is the heart of the Tang Dynasty. If Chang'an is lost, the four barbarians who were finally subdued will rebel again and go to war against the Tang Dynasty. The power of the rebels will become greater, and the difficulty of unifying the world will escalate. More soldiers and civilians will die in this purgatory.

Third, once Chang'an is lost, the emperor will flee, the crown prince will act as regent, and local princes will harbor ulterior motives. The Tang Dynasty will then be completely torn apart, and there will be more problems to solve. Therefore, it is best to keep all the key figures in Chang'an, throw them all into one pot, and resolve the conflicts right there in the city of Chang'an.

However, she felt that Li Heng still had another concern, which was how to explain his disloyalty and unfilial behavior to the world.

Therefore, she was willing to use her own life to give Li Heng an excuse.

For Li Heng, for the overall situation of the world, and for countless lives, she felt it was worth it.

Wu Huifei didn't think as deeply as Yang Yuhuan, and asked, "Does Ying'er know about this?"

Yang Yuhuan shook her head and said, "If he knew, he would never send me to Chang'an."

Wu Huifei asked: "Do you want him to live in pain for the rest of his life?"

"It won't take half a lifetime." Yang Yuhuan smiled. "My dear husband is both virtuous and talented, he is good at both civil and military affairs, handsome and handsome, and there are so many women in the Tang Dynasty. He will marry a better princess. After a few years, this matter will fade away. I only hope... he can occasionally remember me, no, not me, but your humble concubine."
