Although he invisibly established such a big enemy as the Wu family, Zhang Yi was not particularly worried.

There are two reasons, first of all, this is the modern Tang Dynasty, not the ancient Tang Dynasty, the rule of law is greater than the rule of man, the power of the cabinet is above the king, no matter how arrogant the samurai is, it is impossible to bypass the law enforcement agencies to deal with Zhang Yi;

Secondly, after Zhang Yi was a loyal martyr, the Tang Dynasty was founded for one hundred and twenty years, especially during the reign of Taizong, he has been expanding outward by force, fighting many wars, and countless soldiers have died in battle, and in order to take care of the widows and children of these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, Taizong ordered the cabinet to formulate a law specifically to protect the families of loyal soldiers.

As for the identity of the Tang Dynasty, it is a "burden" for Zhang Yi.

Not to mention that Li Bao'er has automatically given up the title of princess after marrying him, the concubine is just a polite title on the lips of others, even if he is a genuine concubine, with the current vulnerable situation of the Li Tang royal family, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to expect the Li Tang royal family to support him.

Even if this matter is not handled well, it may affect the Li Tang royal family, if Zhang Yi murders the son of the Wu steward, who knows if he was instructed by Li Xian to kill the Wu family to vent his anger?

This kind of thing doesn't even need evidence, just the suspicion is enough.

So now Zhang Yi not only has to think about how to clean himself up, but also to prevent others from taking advantage of this matter to splash dirty water on the heads of the Li Tang royal family.

Just when Zhang Yi was trying to figure out a way, his wife Li Bao'er, who had only met twice, was also busy with this matter, and she couldn't return to China immediately when she was studying music in the United States, so she could only call China for help.

Now there are only two people who can speak in front of Empress Wu and influence Empress Wu's decision to a certain extent, except for the relatives of the Wu family, and coincidentally, both of them are women.

Li Bao'er's first thought was her aunt Princess Taiping, but unfortunately the phone called, and the female officer who answered the phone told Li Bao'er that Princess Taiping had been unwell for the past two days, and had fallen asleep after taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, so Li Bao'er would call again another day.

What kind of physical discomfort is clearly a disguise, Princess Taiping made it clear that she didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Putting down the phone, Li Bao'er gritted her teeth and dialed another person's phone.

This time, the phone was answered without ringing twice, and it was answered by myself.

"Bao'er, call me so late, is something wrong?"

"Aunt Shangguan, I ......" Li Bao'er's nose was sour, on the one hand, she was disappointed in her aunt, Princess Taiping, and on the other hand, she had to ask for help from the person she liked the most, and all the words she wanted to say for a while were blocked in her throat, and she couldn't say anything.

Shangguan Wan'er on the other end of the phone was so smart that she immediately guessed the meaning of Li Bao'er's phone call.

"Okay, Bao'er, I know what's going on, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."

As the most trusted female official around Empress Wu, Shangguan Wan'er promised to help, so there was nothing to worry about in this matter, but after putting down the phone, Li Bao'er was always a little uneasy in her heart, and even she couldn't understand why she had such emotions.

Considering the relationship between Shangguan Wan'er and her father Li Xian, Li Bao'er could only comfort herself that she was fine, and Shangguan Wan'er could not harm their family.

Early the next morning, Shangguan Wan'er accompanied Empress Wu for a walk in the Imperial Garden, and Empress Wu asked about Zhang Yi.

Shangguan Wan'er reported the truth and told Empress Wu word for word about the phone call she had with Li Bao'er yesterday.

After hearing this, Empress Wu nodded and said, "Bao'er actually called you, it's hard to worry about this child!" ”

These words sound casual, but the meaning behind them made Shangguan Wan'er secretly frightened, her mobile phone was really monitored by the people of the Empress Wu, if she didn't explain honestly just now, the Empress Wu might have reacted differently at this moment.

Even after following Empress Wu for almost twenty years, Shangguan Wan'er didn't dare to say that she could completely guess Empress Wu's thoughts, including this time. What she did before was actually gambling, but now it seems that she won the bet, and as for the benefits, she naturally gained the trust of the Empress Wu in this matter.

"Tell me what you think."

"Didn't the Queen Mother always hope that Bao'er could marry Chongxun? I think this is an opportunity. ”

Empress Wu turned her head to look at Shangguan Wan'er, with a look of approval on her face.

Shangguan Wan'er and Li Xian's "entanglement" Empress Wu was clear in her heart, so Shangguan Wan'er must be on Li Xian's side in this matter, but Shangguan Wan'er was very smart, she didn't speak directly for Li Xian, but pulled Wu's relatives in, which was exactly what Empress Wu wanted.

Encouraged by this, Shangguan Wan'er immediately had the confidence to speak.

"There are a lot of strange things about this matter, even if Zhang Yizhi didn't kill the son of the martial housekeeper, but the person did die because of him, he should always have to bear some responsibility, plus his marriage with Bao'er was originally in name only, as long as he is willing to reconcile with Bao'er, the Queen Mother can issue a decree to exempt him from responsibility, which can be regarded as the whole royal benevolence to him."

According to Shangguan Wan'er's meaning, there was no need to consult Zhang Yizhi in this matter, as long as Li Bao'er agreed, but this time she guessed the wrong mind of Empress Wu.

Of course, Empress Wu won't care about a small person like Zhang Yizhi, she cares about the world's comments on this matter.

The more domineering the person, the more unwilling to leave a domineering impression, Empress Wu is such a person, she wants to force Li Bao'er and Zhang Yizhi to divorce, but she hopes that both parties will show a conscious and voluntary posture, so as to prove that her decision is absolutely correct.

Li Bao'er has been forced to make a choice before, that time she rejected the "kindness" of the martial queen, although the situation is different this time, the martial queen believes that Li Bao'er will definitely compromise, but this compromise makes the martial queen have no sense of achievement, what she wants is that Li Bao'er is willing to marry Wu Chongxun, not forced to marry Wu Chongxun helplessly.

How to make Li Bao'er willing, then you can only start with Zhang Yizhi.

With the support of the palace maid, she took two steps forward, and the Empress Wu already had a decision in her heart.

"After all, Zhang Yizhi is a loyal martyr, his father saved Xian'er's life, Yu royal has a great favor, originally wrapped in a child to marry him, this favor has been repaid, now that something like this happens, if he is willing to take the initiative to leave, even if my royal family owes him a favor, as long as this favor is there, he has any requirements in the future, the royal family will try to meet him."

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her eyebrows and praised: "The Queen Mother is merciful!" ”

Empress Wu thought for a while, and added: "Don't fake others in this matter, you go to Jinghu Villa in person, wait for Zhang Yizhi to make a decision, and then tell Bao'er that it's not too late." ”
