Li Chen made a lot of noise in the middle of the night, and Wu Zetian and Li Zhi were both alarmed.

Wu Zetian hugged Li Chen in his arms and called her nickname softly, "Chen'er, A-Niang is here." ”

But Li Chen only opened his eyes slightly and glanced at her, his gaze dull and confused.

The palace maid next to her said, "The maid had a younger brother when she was a child, and he was also a little princess, and then before dawn—" The palace maid paused, and then murmured: "Later, the old man of the neighbor's house said that the younger brother was afraid and was evil, and then he should have asked a Taoist chief to come and see." ”

Wu Zetian hated these strange things the most, and when he heard the words of the palace maid, he was furious, "You dare to bewitch the crowd, come and drag me out with a rod and beat me a hundred times!" ”

Li Zhi sat next to Wu Zetian and looked at Li Chen, whose little face was burned red.

Before one thing is over, another thing is coming.

Mrs. Wei was poisoned, and now Li Chen is inexplicably ill, and the emperor, who was already very sad and sad, couldn't help but wonder if there was a problem with the feng shui of this Taiji Palace.

He took one of Li Chen's hands and put it in his palm, and the soft palm was placed in his palm, which looked so small and so fragile.

Li Zhi listened to the imperial doctor talk about Li Chen's condition.

The imperial doctor meant that the little princess was young, and she had just returned from Mount Tai for a long time, and it was inevitable that she would be a little unbearable, and she probably had nightmares at night and was frightened, so she would be like this, and when he prescribed a few doses of medicine to the little princess, she should be able to reduce the fever.

However, tossing until dawn, Li Chen still burned to a mess.

Li Zhi was so angry that he almost kicked the imperial doctor, "Rice bucket!" Don't hurry up and take the medicine again! ”

In fact, this really can't be blamed on the imperial doctor, no matter how much Li Chen is an adult in her heart, she is just the body of a three-year-old child, the child's body is weak, and it is easy to get sick if she doesn't pay attention to it, even Li Chen herself doesn't know how she can have a fever inexplicably, burning her dizzy, thinking it is reality when she dreams, and thinking she is dreaming when she wakes up.

Li Chen burned in a daze, shouting to his mother in a daze, Wu Zetian had no choice but to take Li Chen with him, Mrs. Wei's bones were not cold, many things needed to be dealt with, Helan Minzhi entered the palace to mourn.

Li Zhi talked about the cause of Mrs. Wei's death, and his voice was hoarse because of sadness several times, "It's only to blame Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun for being ruthless, and the queen didn't notice it for a while, so she was so tired that Mrs. Wei Guo died." After the Criminal Department found out about the matter, Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun were executed. ”

Helan Minzhi stood aside, crying bitterly but not speaking.

The death of his sister made Helan Minzhi sad, because of Wu Zetian, his mother was named Mrs. Korea and took him and his sister into the palace together. After Li Zhi pampered his mother, he grew older and was sent to his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Yang, Rongguo. The mother was short-lived, and died soon after being favored by Li Zhi, and her sister was good at singing and dancing beautifully, and after being favored by Li Zhi, she was named Mrs. Wei.

My sister often talked to him about this elegant and gentle king, but rarely mentioned Empress Wu Zetian.

Although the queen is an aunt, but the queen has never liked her sister, last year's trip to Mount Tai, the queen insisted on leaving her sister in Chang'an.

Now that Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun have been executed, the king seems to think that is the truth.

And he also inherited the title of the queen's father, Duke Zhou Guogong, and these glory and wealth can be taken away by the queen with a word.

He has lost the only relative in the world, how can he not cherish his life and rashly express his conjecture without any evidence?

After Helan Minzhi left, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi said in amazement: "Lord, Minzhi actually suspected that the concubine poisoned Helan. ”

Li Zhi reached out and grabbed her shoulders and sighed, "He is just sad in his heart, not really suspicious of you." ”

Li Chen's whole person was originally dizzy, but at this time, he understood their words, and couldn't help but open his eyes and glance at Wu Zetian.

Li Zhi turned around, looked at her red little face, bent down to help her tuck the thin quilt on her body, and his face was solemn: "Why haven't you seen it yet?" ”

Wu Zetian was also worried.

Li Zhi said: "I remember that when Xian'er was born, his health was not good, so you made him a disciple of Master Xuanzang, and then his health was better, and now he is also very good. You once told me that the teacher of Thanksgiving Temple is quite profound, so it is better to let Yongchang worship her as a teacher, maybe you can help her through this difficulty. ”

Wu Zetian said: "Mrs. Shi is a person who has attained the Tao, and Mei Niang was enlightened by her a lot in Ganye Temple that day, and if Yongchang can worship her as a teacher, it is also a good thing." ”

Li Chen heard his parents' conversation and wanted to open his eyes again, but he couldn't open them this time, so he had to close his eyes and hum.

Wu Zetian heard her movement and hurriedly leaned over, "Yongchang? ”

"No, no, I don't want it."

This was the first thing Li Chen said after he fell asleep with a fever, and when Wu Zetian heard it, he almost shed tears. She carefully hugged Li Chen, "What does Yongchang want?" ”

"No, don't apprentice, don't become a monk." Li Chen rested his head on Wu Zetian's shoulder, closed his eyes tightly and muttered.

When Li Zhi and Wu Zetian heard this, they couldn't help but feel distressed and funny.

Li Zhi pondered for a long time, and ordered in a low voice: "Let's ask someone to take a look at the Taoist of the Sanqing Palace." ”

When Li Yuan Taiyuan raised troops, he needed the myth of the emperor, so he claimed to be a descendant of Lao Tzu. Li Zhi thinks that no matter whether it is a pipe chief or a master, he must always try it, maybe Li Chen's illness can really be cured?

So, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian not only invited the Taoist of Sanqing Palace, but also the master of Ganye Temple.

The Taoist chief said that Li Chen was haunted by a powerful ghost and asked for his life, and he had to do three days and three nights of ritual to drive the evil ghost away.

Mrs. Shi said that Li Chen had this calamity in her life, and ordered 7749 ever-bright lamps to pray for her to continue her life.

Li Zhi was sad about his lover's death and worried about his daughter's illness on the other, he was simply exhausted, and his headache was faintly showing signs of committing a crime.

After tossing for several days, Li Chen's fever finally subsided and his condition improved.

Taiping was afraid that the sick sister would be lonely, so she went to Li Chen's bed every day and said, "The weather outside is good, my third brother and I went to catch crickets, and said that I saw a little sister who looked similar to you in the garden, and I turned around and asked my mother to bring her to play with you." Later, Wu Zetian innocently brought a little girl named Shangguan Wan'er, who was only one year older than Li Chen.

Maternal grandmother Mrs. Rongguo of the Yang family also came to the palace to see Li Chen, hugged her heart and soul and shouted for a long time, and brought her a pair of peace locks that could flash blindness, saying that she had found a Taoist monk who had opened the light, and put on a ghost and could not get close.

And the palace maids and Liu Xin beside Li Chen, because of Li Chen's illness, were all punished by Wu Zetian and went to the court to work as coolies.

Later, Liu Xin returned to the princess courtyard because of Li Chen's intercession.

The master of Ganye Temple was called into the palace by Wu Zetian again, and the master looked at Li Chen's lively appearance, and said with a smile to Wu Zetian that Ganye Temple wanted to build a Bodhisattva in the back mountain, so that the world could worship and enjoy the incense.

Wu Zetian said that in the name of Princess Yongchang, build a Bodhisattva.

Shi Tai smiled and said Amitabha, the Bodhisattva will definitely bless the little princess from now on safe and healthy, and there will be nothing to do for ten thousand years.

After another month of tossing like this, Li Chen's illness has completely recovered.

Li Chen ran to find Li Zhi, and a few days after she fell ill, Li Zhi also had a headache, and now she is recuperating, and the political affairs of the DPRK and China are handed over to her mother Wu Zetian to deal with.

Li Zhi's complexion is not bad, but his spirit is a little weak, but he can still hold Li Chen.

He retreated left and right, hugged Li Chen and walked out, "I heard that the lotus flowers have bloomed now, Aya will take you to see the lotus flowers." ”

The June breeze was mixed with the fragrance of lotus flowers, and the father and daughter sat side by side on the edge of the lotus pond.

Li Chen looked at his father and felt that his father had become much more gloomy than before, and his brows were locked. So she raised her hand and rubbed her father's tightly knit brow.

Li Zhi held her little hand and suddenly asked, "Yongchang, do you want Sister Helan?" ”

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

Li Zhi sighed, and his voice was low: "But my father misses her." ”

It is said that Mrs. Wei was unlucky, inadvertently became the queen's scapegoat, and was poisoned by Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun.

But even if they gave Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun the courage to do so, they didn't dare to poison Wu Zetian. They no longer want to admit it, and they also know in their hearts that the martial arts family still needs to rely on Wu Zetian, even if they want to poison Wu Zetian, they will not be as stupid as a pig and want to poison their own food.

Li Zhi understands this truth, and Li Chen also understands it.

The truth about the poisoning of Mrs. Wei is an open secret.

But so what?

No matter how Mrs. Wei is, can she be more weighty than Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu back then?

Wu Zetian dealt with his rivals and never relented.

I heard that Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were killed by Wu Zetian after chopping off their hands and feet and throwing them into a wine vt. Now that Mrs. Wei Guo has been poisoned, it is also a kind of luck to be able to keep a whole corpse.

The matter between Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu was acquiesced by Li Zhi back then, and Wu Zetian's plan to kill Mrs. Wei Guo was not known in advance, and it did not mean that he would abolish his queen because of this.

Although Li Chen didn't like Mrs. Wei Guo, he also felt that she died a resentful death. However, when she heard Li Zhi say that she missed Mrs. Wei Guo, she felt that Mrs. Wei Guo's death was self-inflicted.

Wu Zetian's ruthlessness in quietly removing the thorn in his eye is worrying, Mrs. Wei is not upset in her duties, she wants to be a concubine, and even wants the position of the queen, what is it that is not looking for death?

It's just that Li Chen never thought that Mrs. Wei Guo, who could only find some trouble for her and block her heart, would die so in vain under power.

Li Zhi looked at the lotus flowers in the lotus pond, and said abruptly: "Yongchang, my father is sorry for Mrs. Wei Guo. ”

Li Chen looked at his father with a lot of feelings in his heart.

Imperial couples always have more power and calculations than civil couples, and even the hard-won warmth sometimes feels that there must be a plan behind it.

The father is also quite pitiful, and the guilt and longing in his heart can only be said to his ignorant daughter.
