The peonies in the Eastern Palace must be blooming in April. He still remembered this time last year, when she had just married into the Eastern Palace. Would there be even the slightest breeze there? The weather in Qianzhou, where he was now, was unbearably hot.
Li Chengqian sighed and limped into a tavern.
"Something interesting happened in Chang'an yesterday. A demon tried to assassinate the Crown Prince! Then the Crown Prince smeared his blood on her, and she immediately vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a length of bamboo!" a man said. At first, Li Chengqian paid no attention. "But for some reason, Prince Wu went mad and insisted on marrying that bamboo. A mere stalk of bamboo became Prince Wu's consort, Lady Xiao..."
"Clatter!" The wine cup slipped from Li Chengqian's hand. His face went deathly pale. "Was her name Xiao Jiangli?"
"Huh? How did you know?" The man studied him. "Prince Wu even said to the bamboo, 'Without you, Chang'an would no longer be Chang'an'... I say Prince Wu must be mad!"
He trembled uncontrollably, as if someone had hollowed out his heart.
Without you, Chang'an would no longer be Chang'an. A Li, how could it be any different for me?
In the nineteenth year of the Zhenguan era, Li Chengqian died of illness in Qianzhou. Emperor Taizong grieved and suspended court, then buried him with the honors due a duke.
