Li Zhi's voice suddenly sounded, making Mei Niang get up in shock, and turned her head to look at him in amazement, but her expression was panicked and uneasy that she had never felt before:

"Governing ...... Jiro? ”

"I already knew."

Li Zhi held his hands on his shoulders and motioned to the Qingming brothers who were following him, stay where he was and not move, and with a light glance, he retreated from Yuru......

Only then did he calmly walk up to her and reach out to hug her tightly: "I already knew. From the moment you entered the palace, I knew it. ”

Her body is really cold, so cold. asked Li Zhi to subconsciously, hug tightly, and hug again.

“…… Why? ”

Mei Niang snuggled in his arms and asked in a daze:

"Why? How would you know? ”

"Would you feel better if I told you why?" Li Zhi pressed his lips to her ear and whispered softly.

Mixed with a warm breath and a familiar fragrance, this kind of breath passed from her ears and from his arms to her body little by little, making her cold body because of the blood flow backwards, little by little, warm again.

She took a deep breath, hesitated, with some uneasiness and some relief, slowly hugged his warm body, and after a while, she asked softly: "Since you already know, why don't you tell me?" ”

"If I had told you, I would have known what they had done to you...... Does it make you feel better? Li Zhi asked softly: "Mei Niang, will you feel better?" ”

Mei Niang closed her eyes, didn't say anything for a long time, and suddenly buried her face in his arms, so that the tears from the corners of her eyes seeped into his shoulders little by little.

"You're not going to feel good."

Li Zhi said calmly: "No matter what, they are your own brothers, brothers. You're not going to feel good. ”

Mei Niang closed her eyes and was speechless for a long time.

"So ......"

Li Zhi tightened his arms tightly, rubbed her in his arms, and couldn't wait to melt into his bones and blood: "So I know, there are some things that you don't have to say, I should do it too." ”

Mei Niang didn't say anything, but she didn't say anything for a long time, snuggled in his arms, and cried silently.

……

Wake up the next morning.

On the phoenix couch in the Great Treasure Hall.

Li Zhi looked at Mei Niang in his arms sleeping quietly, the sun shrouded her face, quiet and silent like a child, his heart was soft for a while, he leaned down, kissed her forehead gently, and then straightened up, looked ahead, and asked softly about the graceful figure outside the yarn:

"You know what you've done, right?"

“…… Lord ...... The sin deserves death. ”

What came in was Yuru's silent voice.

"You do deserve to die. But she is not willing to let you die, so I will not let you die. Li Zhi looked calmly ahead, and continued to say softly: "But I want to know one thing, this matter, if you can return well, this matter may not have a chance to turn around." ”

"If you can ask for forgiveness from the Lord and Niangniang, it will be like a broken bone, and you will not give up."

As if a little new green sprout had sprouted, Yuru's voice revealed some hope. The eyes that looked at him and Mei Niang through the gauze also lit up again.

"Have the people who spread rumors back then really cleaned up? Except for the stupid brothers. Li Zhi asked lightly.

Yuru nodded: "Indeed, there is no half left." The first emperor once repeatedly instructed Yuru that this matter is not trivial, no matter what, it must be completely extinct, and it must not be left as a scourge in the future and ruin the ......"

She stopped, but Li Zhi nodded and said:

"Yes. If so, it seems to be the actions of my father. After all, no matter what, he had already made up his mind at that time to leave Mei Niang with me. And he also knows that no matter what, I must make Mei Niang my woman, my only wife, the queen of the Tang Dynasty. So naturally, he also knows that once Mei Niang is really touched by these rumors, it will never be possible to clear the stigma in the future. And I ...... Naturally, it will also suffer. ”

Li Zhi nodded: "Well, I was worried about it before, after all, it was my father, no matter what, he would not give these things a chance and ruin me." It seems that there is no one in this world who knows about this except you. Right? ”

Yuru was stunned and said lightly: "No...... Isn't it? Lord, don't you know? ”

Li Zhi's face suddenly turned pale: "...... Uncle! ”

"yes...... Uncle Yuan, such a thing, naturally he also knows...... But the Lord need not be worried. From the very beginning, Uncle Yuan saw that there was something strange in this matter.

After all, Uncle Yuan knows the mother's temperament. What's more, when the mother entered the palace, it was personally ordered by Uncle Yuan. The matter of entering the palace for a physical examination is also revealed to the world.

That's why he was so eager to take the mother and daughter into the house.

Yuru once heard Wei Shentong mention it by chance, saying that Uncle Yuan said that the reason why the mother and daughter were able to enter the Changsun Mansion was to make a bet with them, and secondly, to ensure that they would not spoil this big event-

Although the mother is innocent, the world knows about being selected into the palace as a talented person. But after all, over the years, Niangniang has suffered a lot of stigma. The human heart is unpredictable.

Once known, the two brothers Wu Shun and Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, in order to compete for the favor and name of their dead biological mother, Xiangli, had deliberately slandered Niangniang and her cousin, that is, Niangniang's little sister, Guo's wife Wu Yi's fiancé in the old years had private ......

Coupled with the early death of Niangniang's little sister, I am afraid that people in the world will really think that Niangniang is ...... It's such an immoral woman.

Therefore, Uncle Yuan has been trying his best to hold the second lady of Rong Han in the palm of his hand all these years. It is precisely because of this that over the years, he has been suppressing the Wu brothers and not teaching them a chance to get ahead-

All this is just to completely eliminate the troubles of this matter?

Lord, don't you know? ”

Li Zhi froze in amazement, turned his head and looked out of the veil in shock-

He knows......

Of course he knew that he knew everything before Mei Niang entered the palace.

Although he was the king of Jin back then, the purpose of secretly investigating this matter was not simple - because at that time, he had never seen Mei Niang, let alone knew what the words were.

Because at that time, he only felt that Wu Meiniang was a usable chess piece.

Because at that time, he just hoped that this beautiful and wise woman named Wu Zhao could lure his father away from the women who indirectly killed his mother after entering the palace......

——

Because at that time, he was just taking advantage of Wu Meiniang and this woman, without any pity, sympathy, or kindness.

So everything about her, he knows it thoroughly.

Because at that time, she was just a chess piece to him.

Since it is a chess piece, he has to ensure that this chess piece can achieve the best function. So he had to know everything about her, and he knew it in great detail.

So he knew everything about what those people in Yingguo's Mansion had done to Mei Niang.

And after the death of Ying Guogong, the only biological father in the world who really loves her, how did Mei Niang die nine times and save her life in such an environment......

He also knows it very well.

So......

Later, he fell in love with her so much, he couldn't hide, and he couldn't escape from falling in love with her.

Because at the beginning, he was ruthless and had no affection for her.

So later, after being emotional, he became infatuated with her, and she was the only one in heaven and earth.

But just like he did with his uncle......

At first, how to trust and depend, how to respect and love, and later, how to dislike and defensive, resentment and contempt.

so much so that he despised it to the point of completely believing that his own uncle would ruin everything he loved the most, just to keep the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in his mind.

So much so that he despised it to the point that he completely ignored all other possibilities, and when he learned that the eldest grandson Wuji, his own uncle, brought the mother and daughter who made his beloved woman, who was in pain all his life and continued to cause her trouble, into the house, his first reaction was to think that he must just be using this mother and daughter to pull down his most beloved woman!

"You mean...... Over the years, my uncle has pinched the mother and daughter in the palm of his hand in order to ...... Mei Niang? ”

Li Zhi asked softly.

And at the same moment, Mei Niang in his arms also turned her back to him and slowly opened her eyes, looking ahead blankly!

"No...... If you say it's for the sake of the mother, it doesn't make sense. It's better to ......" Outside the yarn, Yu, who was wrapped in white gauze on her forehead, subconsciously glanced at Mei Niang, who was held in Li Zhi's arms and turned her back to Mei Niang, who seemed to be asleep, and bit her lower lip, before she said in an almost inaudible voice:

"Rather, he is for the Lord. Because I know that the Lord will definitely not allow such a thing to happen to Niangniang, because I know that the Lord will inevitably purge those people secretly, because I know that such a purge, once it breaks out in the future, it will inevitably attract greater criticism from the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military, and even endanger the hearts of the Lord in the court, and cause a reputation for losing virtue, so ...... He will take the initiative to lock them firmly by his side, ensuring that they will not go out to cause trouble for his mother again. It's just that what Yuming doesn't understand is ......"

Yuming said this, and shook his head: "After so many years, Uncle Yuan has countless opportunities to uproot the mother and daughter, these two banes. But he never did it. This really doesn't look like the style of Uncle Yuan's guild......"

“…… Because he wants to leave them to Mei Niang. ”

Li Zhi was silent for a long time, and suddenly whispered the last sentence, and then he closed his mouth and said no more.

And Mei Niang, who was sleeping with a pillow in his arms, finally closed her eyes slowly and stopped making a sound.

Three days later.

In August of the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi issued an edict again, degrading the sons of the Changsun family and the Liu family, a total of 13 people.

In addition, he was degraded to the Yongzhou Thorn History, Yu Zhining was the Rongzhou Thorn History, and Yu Zhining was demoted to the Yu clan together, a total of nine people.

So far, all the important people above the fifth rank who have been implicated in the case of the eldest grandson Wuji have been demoted from the Beijing Division. And with the sparkling carriage and horses that they left the Beijing car, in the entire Tang Dynasty, the five surnames Qiwang and the members of the Guanlongmen family are no longer the same surname and the same clan.

Every clan disciple and every Guan Long important member is speculating uneasily, next, will the plain hand in the harem that secretly stir up the storm rest on his head?
