Wu Mei was almost frightened, her feet were weak and dizzy, and Yuan Ziyan had to help her aside.

Hey, people have weaknesses, for example, Wu Mei is afraid of cats, which is something that can't be explained. Although Li Zhi's physical fitness is not as strong as that of his brothers, he is also a martial arts practitioner after all, and he knocked the cat aside with a few punches and kicks.

The cat settled down and let out an even more poignant chirp, taking this opportunity, Li Zhi hurriedly left with Wu Mei. However, the cat seemed to be crazy, and jumped into the air again, pounced on the back of Li Zhi's head with teeth and claws.

Wu Mei was shocked, pushed Li Zhi away suddenly, trembling her body to block the front, and the cat's eyes showed a greedy look, and the air turned around strangely, scratching towards Wu Mei's face.

Wu Mei's heart was cold at that time, and she closed her eyes heavily, but she felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing, Yuan Ziyan tapped her toes, caught the cat at an incredible speed, and held it in her arms.

The cat seemed to be quiet, curled up in Yuan Ziyan's arms and meowed. And Wu Mei was so frightened that her lips turned purple and her chest was stuffy, she didn't forget to worry about Li Zhi's safety, but she couldn't say a word, she fell backwards and fainted.

Hearing the exclamations, the guards had already rushed over from all directions, and Li Zhi was furious with Wu Mei, who had fainted to death, and immediately ordered the cat to be killed. The poor cat could not withstand the attack of the stick, and after a few dozen strokes, it had become a puddle of mud, and the blood soaked into the land of the back court.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial doctor arrived to treat Wu Mei, and then a large team of people sent Wu Mei back to Meng Lanxuan.

When many people write that Wu Zetian is afraid of cats, they will always make some renderings intentionally or unintentionally. The implication is that such a strong woman has nothing to fear, but it is just a curse of Xiao Shufei's wishful thinking.

It's just that no one is perfect. It's not a shame to be afraid of cats, and there's nothing to avoid.

When the courtiers learned about what happened in the Imperial Garden, most of them turned their noses up at this, thinking that Wu Mei was using the topic to play, and even suspected of being pretentious, in order to make His Majesty pity him.

In the eyes of many people, a cat is cute. It's not a big wolf dog, fierce and terrible, as for fainting with fright? And it is also righteous and awe-inspiring in front of His Majesty. Wu Mei is really exaggerated, do you think this is to block arrows or flying knives?

However, Wu Mei was really frightened, with a high fever that did not go away, and she was talking nonsense. Frightened. It took ten days to gradually recover, but the person also lost a lot of weight, his face was haggard, and he had no energy.

Li Zhi's heart seemed to be broken, and he came to visit Wu Mei every day, and the sister Mei in his mind was resourceful, quiet and tranquil. All in all, it has never worried Li Zhi. In other words, she didn't cause him any trouble, and she was a woman who only knew how to give.

It is said in organizational behavior that people who are too perfect have no friends, and it is precisely those who have high overall quality and some minor problems who are the most popular. Wu Mei undoubtedly got the best angle in Li Zhi's heart, which made Li Zhi's love for her unstoppable.

"Sister Mei, that cat has been executed. I have also decreed that no cats are allowed in the palace, and you will not be harmed in the future. Li Zhi said emotionally.

"Wu Mei can be favored by His Majesty in this life, and if she dies immediately, she will also smile at Jiuquan." Wu Mei was very moved.

"I don't allow you to say such depressing words, you and I will be a long-term husband and wife, and we will grow old." Li Zhi hugged Wu Mei into his arms and sighed: "In the past, when the queen mother first married Li Fu, the uncle built a swordsmanship competition with his father, and the uncle forced each other step by step, and the father was also young and vigorous at that time, and finally became angry and pulled the bow and shot arrows at each other. At that time, the queen mother was wearing a new wedding dress and blocked in front of her father, so she didn't make a big mistake. If the queen mother is the blessed star of my father, you are the best gift from God to me. ”

"Hehe, what Empress Wende blocked was the arrows that killed between brothers, and Wu Mei was just blocking a brute, how could it be compared to Empress Wende?" Wu Mei couldn't help but laugh.

"Actually, I often rejoice, and the friendship between you and me is comparable to that of my father and queen mother." Li Zhimei said with a bit of swaggering childishness, which is something that people who are accustomed to the majesty of the Son of Heaven have never seen.

Wu Mei couldn't help laughing, and the haze of the day was swept away. knew that he didn't help take care of the government these days, and his stepmother was tired, so he got up and insisted on working.

Li Zhi saw it in his eyes, full of happiness, with such a good wife, what more could a husband ask for!

At the same time, Li Zhi also noticed that the cat's origin was extraordinary, it was a little familiar, and it seemed that it had undergone special training and was extremely sensitive to Wu Mei. So Li Zhi secretly ordered someone to investigate, and the results soon came out, the cat was Concubine Xiao Shufei's pet, and with the master living in the cold palace, it was inevitable that the coat color was not as bright as before, and it was no wonder that everyone was difficult to identify at first.

And the next news made Li Zhi very angry, that is, there were strange rags in Concubine Xiao's cold palace, and when the guards went to check, Concubine Xiao Shufei looked very frightened, and even wanted to swallow these strips of cloth, and then they were taken down.

And after piecing it together, everyone was surprised to find that it was a portrait, which is what modern people call a big head sticker, which is Wu Zhaoyi!

In other words, Concubine Xiao Shu hated Wu Zhaoyi and trained the cat to go to Wu Zhaoyi for revenge, the purpose was to break the appearance.

When Li Zhi learned the truth, he was furious, such a vicious woman, he had loved her for so many years. And Concubine Xiao Shufei did not repent and deserved to be executed.

"Come on, Xiao Shi, cane death!" Li Zhi said with red eyes and gritted teeth.

Then Wu Mei, who learned the news, hurriedly came, fell to her knees with a pop, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, please let your Majesty let Concubine Xiao Shu go!" ”

"I have removed her title, how can there be any concubine!" Li Zhi is angry.

"Your Majesty, although the Xiao family is hateful, it is nothing more than a few curses on the concubines, and the sin will not lead to death. What's more, the Xiao family has not yet given birth to three princes and princesses before His Majesty, and his contribution is indispensable, if the children learn about their mother's fate in the future, won't they resent His Majesty and the concubines? Wu Mei said with uneasy tears.

Li Zhi sighed, helped Wu Mei up, and said helplessly: "Sister Mei, you have also been in the palace for many years, don't you know the coldness of this palace?" If I were afraid of retaliation in the future, I wouldn't have killed anyone. It's hard for the Son of Heaven to be, and I don't feel like myself anymore. ”

"Your Majesty."

"Sister Mei, don't be afraid, with me, no one will harm you."

"But Wu Mei still feels that His Majesty is ruthless, the Xiao family has followed His Majesty for many years, for me, you can ask for her life, if Wu Mei makes a mistake in the future, or if a new person enters the palace, will Your Majesty treat me like this?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "I am not a faint king, I know who is sincere to me, which is hypocritical, what I want is not a woman who fights for power, but a good wife who sings and sings like the people." ”

"But Shaw?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Xiao family is dead, what should I do with the body?" It was already late, and when the guards came to report, Li Zhi was inevitably moved, and his heart was empty.

"Acting King Li Sujie made a weak crown early and rushed to the fief to take office at the age of tomorrow." Li Zhi thought about it, turned his back, tried his best to suppress the desolation in his heart, and said: "Acting King Li Sujie, his body is weak, and he doesn't have to go back to the palace to visit every year after taking office. ”

"Your Majesty, how should the Xiao family's future affairs be arranged?" The guard asked cautiously.

"Wu Zhaoyi can dispose of it!" Li Zhi said and walked straight to the back room, and no one saw that he was already in tears.

"Funeral according to the rites of talent." Wu Mei said lightly, and the guards immediately went down to do so.

The family affection of the emperor's family is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and they all say that because there are many children, they can't take care of it, so that some princes and princesses lead to a desolate end. But the author doesn't think so, just like a school teacher, dozens of people in each class, and may manage many classes, why can they have a few names, the Son of Heaven is a combination of excellent genes, why can't he even remember his most twenty or thirty children?

This also highlights the disadvantages of feudal society, one is prosperous, one is lost, Xiao died tragically, most of his family and descendants will be resentful, and the princess is powerful, and the prince can take the opportunity to rebel, but after all, it is related by blood, and it cannot be executed, but it should be restricted.

Li Zhi's worries are also right, the two sons-in-law and son were more or less involved in the rebellion, and they did not end well, this is a later story, not to mention it for the time being.

Concubine Xiao Shu's voice and smile seemed to be right in front of her, and under the earth-shattering reversal, she ended up being killed by a cane, and the people in the palace were silent, knowing that this was because of Wu Mei, and they were afraid of her death.

Yes!

Queen Wang woke up from the nightmare screaming, her head was full of sweat, and Mrs. Wei Guo hurried over and asked with concern, "Daughter, what's wrong?" ”

"Mother! I'm afraid, I'm afraid! Empress Wang shrank in the arms of Mrs. Wei and said in a trembling voice: "I dreamed of Concubine Xiao Shu, her flesh and blood were blurred, and her limbs were broken, so she was not miserable!" ”

Mrs. Wei Guo shed tears, rubbed her daughter's hair, and said sadly: "Daughter, what you dreamed of may be Concubine Xiao Shu." Concubine Xiao Shufei was resentful and cursed non-stop, it is said that she was beaten to death after being beaten alive thousands of times, her limbs were broken, and when she collected the body, her face was blurred, and her teeth were ...... all over the ground."

Yes!

Queen Wang screamed again, and in the corner of the bed, wrapped in the quilt and trembling: "Mother, please don't say any more!" ”

"Daughter, escaping is not the way! Concubine Shu's three children don't seem to be long-lived people, and sooner or later they will die at the hands of the ruthless Wu Zhaoyi. If you don't plan for yourself, you won't be better than Concubine Xiao Shu in the future! Mrs. Wei said loudly.

"Concubine Xiao Shu is vicious, Your Majesty will not treat me like this! I didn't harm Wu Zhaoyi, I didn't kill her child, maybe, maybe it was really Concubine Xiao Shufei who killed her! No, no, I'm going to see Your Majesty, I'm going to face the saint and cry out for injustice! The queen was so flustered that she didn't care about putting on her shoes, so she ran out with her cloak scattered. (To be continued......)
