"Queen, regardless of Wu Zhaoyi, this time let's talk about yourself first. I hope you can reflect on yourself and admit your mistakes! Li Zhi suppressed his anger and asked.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Wu Mei's child was not killed by the concubine, and the concubine dared to swear to the sky, if she lied, she would not die well! Does that Wu Mei dare to swear? Queen Wang said angrily.

"Everything is evidence-based, swearing is useless!"

"Hmph, it's really useless, when the concubine took Wu Mei into the palace, she swore to heaven that if she betrayed the concubine in the future, she would repay her child!" Queen Wang sneered: "The present world is now retribution, Wu Mei deceived the heavens, and the people and gods are angry, so the child born before the month old died early, which is really retribution!" Your Majesty, you really have to remind Wu Mei, don't take God seriously, how good Hong'er was when she was born, and now, she has become a medicine jar at a young age, can she still live a long life? ”

"Bastard!" Li Zhi was furious, Queen Wang was startled, and hurriedly knelt down, Li Zhi was so angry that his whole body trembled, and said: "Evil woman! Even if the princess is not murdered by you, in front of me, you dare to curse the prince and princess, how arrogant is behind it! ”

"Your Majesty, the fact that the concubine said is not an intentional curse!" The queen straightened her neck in defense.

"What about Zhong'er, timid and afraid, how do you know that he can sit firmly in the position of the Son of Heaven?" Li Zhi asked rhetorically.

Queen Wang stood up abruptly and shouted in a scream: "Your Majesty, how can you compare Zhong'er with Hong'er, whose origin is unknown, with Wu Mei!" Your Majesty, there are rumors inside and outside the palace that Hong'er is the son of a wild monk, not a dragon fetus! ”

"I. I'll kill you! Li Zhi was furious, and took a few steps forward and grabbed Queen Wang's neck.

"Your Majesty, your words are contrary to your ears!"

"You are stupid!"

"Your Majesty. Don't, don't! Mrs. Wei Guo, who had been hiding next to her and didn't dare to show her head, rushed out and pulled the two apart with great effort, Li Zhi was so angry that her face turned pale, and her eyes were full of disgust when she looked at Queen Wang, such a woman only had her own interests in her eyes, and she had no fraternity at all. I don't understand the reason at all, I really shouldn't have made her a queen in the first place!

"Wei, you don't teach the queen well. Instead, let her speak disrespectfully, which is a loss of morality, what kind of crime should she be guilty of! Li Zhi asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the new funeral of the queen's father. Just forgive her once. The queen has been pampered since childhood. It's all the fault of her parents, and if she has no backer in the future, the queen will naturally restrain herself. Your Majesty, they all say that you have a good heart, why can't you raise your hand to your wife? Mrs. Wei couldn't stop crying.

Queen Wang was also stunned, she didn't know the news of her father's death, and she couldn't help crying with a sad expression.

Li Zhi snorted. Turned around and went out, and finally held back the words of the wasted queen. Just walked out of the main hall. Seeing Concubine Xiao Shu who was peeking at the excitement, she didn't shy away from it, she stepped forward with a smile, and said after giving a salute: "Your Majesty, the queen's temperament is not overnight, why bother arguing with her?" ”

Concubine Xiao Shufei is obviously gloating, and compared with the gentle and virtuous Wu Mei, who always says good things for others, Li Zhiqi does not fight in one place, the more she looks at Concubine Xiao, the more hateful she becomes, especially the fact that she pries her son Li Sujie as the prince is even more intolerable.

"Concubine Shu, the new funeral of the national abbot, you are showy and smiling, what is your intention?" Li Zhi asked coldly.

Concubine Xiao Shu's delicate body trembled, came back to her senses, and hurriedly said: "The concubine doesn't know, I hope Your Majesty will forgive her sins!" ”

"Concubine Shu, on the day of the incident, some people said that you had been to Menglanxuan." Li Zhi put his hands behind his back and said without looking at her.

Concubine Xiao Shu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her face turned pale with fright, and she knelt down in a hurry, and said in a wailing voice: "Your Majesty, it must be Wu Mei's fox spirit chewing her tongue behind her back!" Your Majesty must not believe her! ”

"It's not Wu Zhaoyi who said it."

"That's the stepmother, Your Majesty, you all know that the two of them are in the same group, and what they covet is the queen's position!" Concubine Xiao Shu didn't choose to speak, and when she saw Li Zhi's cold eyes, she closed her mouth more interestingly than the queen.

But it was too late, Li Zhi was ruthless, and said: "Concubine Shu caused trouble in the court, played right and wrong, and even instigated the prince and the prince to be discordant, separated the friendship between the queen and the concubine, and immediately removed the title and entered the cold palace!" ”

Concubine Xiao Shu was completely stunned, crying and begging for mercy, the emperor who was angry and had a heart was ruthless at this time, and Li Zhi didn't look back, completely ignoring that Concubine Xiao Shu had already given birth to three children for him.

Too high status and too much power will make men and women in the world lose their nature, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu are like this, getting carried away and acting arbitrarily. Li Zhi changed from the king of Jin to the crown prince, and became a monarch in a few years, the young emperor, no kind of rich and handsome can compare to him, maybe happiness came too suddenly, so that the queen and Xiao Shufei's arrogance reached the peak, forgetting to converge, let alone precipitation, and finally went to the road of no return.

Because of the sudden death of Empress Wang's father, Li Zhi temporarily dispelled the idea of abolishing the queen, and because of the lack of evidence of Empress Wang's murder and the fact that there was Concubine Xiao Shu, the guilty sheep, the guards surrounding the main hall were withdrawn, and it seemed that they had regained their freedom.

Of course, these are no longer comparable to before, the prince was left in the East Palace, and his academic life was personally taken care of by Li Zhi. Everyone understands that the emperor is very busy, so Li Zhong's diet and daily life are taken care of by Wu Zhaoyi.

Wu Mei, who lost her beloved daughter, became more and more haggard, so Yuan Ziyan also intended to let her have more contact with these princes and princesses to release her mother's love. Therefore, Wu Mei took care of Li Zhong quite carefully, and personally instructed him in his studies, and the prince's masters, including Wu Wang Li Ke, admitted that the prince's progress was huge.

After the morning of this day, Liu Zheng, whose eyes were deep-set, found Yuan Ziyan, first gave a deep salute, and then bowed his head. Yuan Ziyan was unmoved, and said lightly: "Liu Xiang, you are the elder brother in terms of age, and the etiquette will be waived." If it is for the queen to intercede, I also hope that you will not open your mouth. ”

Liu Zheng sighed heavily, and said dejectedly: "The queen can have today's ending, it is already Your Majesty and the national teacher who have opened up the net, and Liu Zheng does not dare to talk more." ”

"And what are you here for?" Yuan Ziyan asked.

"Master of the National Teacher, I, Liu Zheng, am deeply favored by the emperor, I am sincerely afraid, busy day and night, and I have no choice but to make little achievements. only hated his mediocre qualifications, and failed the emperor, His Majesty and the national teacher. Liu Zheng said sadly and shed tears.

"Liu Xiang, everyone's eyes are bright, you work hard for state affairs, and even rarely participate in the marriage of your children, Your Majesty knows it in your heart. Don't be afraid about the queen anymore! Yuan Ziyan couldn't bear it, a person with half-white hair, such a pitiful appearance, anyone would be moved.

"The national teacher is Mingjian, it's just that the queen is arrogant and unrepentant, and my sister can't listen to persuasion, and blindly complains for the queen, if it goes on like this, I really don't know what the consequences will be. It's not Liu Zheng's selfishness, it's just that there are hundreds of people in the family, I am already a person buried in the loess, if the family does not deal with it properly, I will not be blind! It is said that the national teacher has the ability to predict the future, but I ask the national teacher to show me a clear way, Liu Zheng burns incense and worships the Buddha to pray for the blessing of the national teacher, I am grateful! After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he shook his head several times.

A generation of prime ministers, when they are down, they are just like this, and Yuan Ziyan's heart is full of infinite sentimentality. Seeing that although Liu Zheng was usually a little cowardly, and there was no obvious fault in other major matters, Yuan Ziyan thought for a while and asked, "Liu Xiang, if you are asked to give up your phase, are you willing?" ”

"What does the national teacher mean?"

"The rights and wrongs in this palace are just the beginning, and the bloody storm is still to come. Stay away from right and wrong, save your life, advance by retreating, and know your own gains and losses. Yuan Ziyan said.

Liu Zheng suddenly realized, and thanked Yuan Ziyan again with tears in his eyes. A few days later, Li Zhi received Liu Zheng's resignation and wanted to return to his hometown. Li Zhi did not agree, after all, Liu Zheng has a lot of credit, and his resignation for no reason will arouse the suspicion of the courtiers.

Then Liu Zheng made up his mind, and said that he had a problem with talking in his dreams, and if he took on a heavy responsibility, it would be difficult to ensure that he would not be heard by people with ulterior motives one day, and he would leak military secrets. Liu Zheng also said that he never had sex with his wife and concubine, precisely because of this taboo.

Whispering leaks, this is repaid, is it convicted or not convicted if something happens? And it's hard to prove whether it's a dream or not.

Li Zhi had no choice but to compromise, but thinking of his merits, he still asked Liu Zheng to be the assassin of Suizhou, and he was treated with the same minister. Yoo is grateful, and for him, this is undoubtedly the best ending.

After getting permission, Liu Zheng rushed to take office with a family non-stop, although the majesty was not as good as before, but to be able to keep one side, no longer afraid of tomorrow's changes, and to be able to sleep well is wealth.

Empress Wang lost her good sister Xiao Shufei to discuss ideas, and Mrs. Wei lost her younger brother Liu Zheng, and the pillar of the family was gone, and the mother and daughter fell into a huge panic for the first time.

"Daughter, I heard that Concubine Xiao Shu was tortured after being beaten into the cold palace, and some people even slapped her face every day." Mrs. Wei said worriedly.

"What? How can Concubine Xiao Shufei say that she is also the biological mother of King Yong and the two princesses, how dare these lowly palace people start? The queen couldn't believe her ears.

"It's not, usually these minions are jealous of their masters, with this opportunity, who doesn't step on their feet? Poor Concubine Xiao Shu, she has turned white for a few days, curses Wu Mei every day, not only is she slapped, but she even has to be filled with dumb medicine! ”

"Ahh Queen Wang covered her ears in horror, shook her head and said, "Mother, don't say it, I don't want to listen!" ”

Mrs. Wei Guo pulled her daughter's hand down and said fiercely: "I miss your father, in order to save your status and life, I will not hesitate to commit suicide in the hospital bed!" But His Majesty listened to the slander and treated Concubine Xiao Shu like this, daughter, if you don't act, I'm afraid that the next person will be you! ”

"No, no, Your Majesty won't do this to me!"

"How not? Now that Wu Mei is covering the sky with one hand in the back court, maybe one day His Majesty will forget you! Mrs. Wei Guo gritted her teeth and said. (To be continued......)
