The night is getting deeper.

Taiji Palace, in the dormitory of the Lizheng Palace.

Mei Niang sat on the couch and looked at Li Zhi with a slightly pale face, and her heart was not calm - there are some things that really need her to think about it seriously and think about it carefully.

What really matters?

She sat like this until dawn.

Until Li Zhi woke up.

Li Zhi opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Mei Niang who was guarding his side, and he couldn't help but smile with relief. But looking at Mei Niang's haggard look, she couldn't help but frown and sigh slightly.

"Just get some sleep! It's good for a while. ”

Li Zhi got up slowly, sat side by side with Mei Niang on his knees, and said softly.

Mei Niang turned her head to look at him, smiled, but turned her head to look ahead without saying anything, and said lightly for a while: "Jiro knows?" Those things. ”

"I know a lot of things, which one are you talking about?" Li Zhi knew what she wanted to ask, but in the end, it was better for her to say some things herself.

“…… A lot. Like what...... The so-called evidence of rebellion was all concocted by 'him'. Another example...... Those so-called evidences all carry the shadow of Mei Niang, and they always point to Mei Niang and the Lizheng Palace, intentionally or unintentionally. ”

Mei Niang smiled, but the words that could be said were as cold and astringent as winter apricots.

Li Zhi was silent for a long time, got up, washed and dressed under the service of Qing and Minghe, and changed his clothes and crown. And Mei Niang just sat like this, without saying a word.

After a while, Li Zhi straightened himself up, and only then did he straighten his sleeves and answer her lightly without looking back: "Mei Niang, you are good at everything, but you are too used to taking other people's eyes seriously." Don't forget one thing. ”

He stopped and looked back at Mei Niang: "Now you are no longer the palace man Wu Zhao, but the queen Wu clan." Today, I am not a slave of the King of Jin, but Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty. ”

In a word, Mei Niang turned her head in astonishment and looked at him for a long time.

Li Zhi just looked at her calmly, and after a while, he smiled gently, leaned down, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then lowered his eyes to look at her stunned face, and said with a smile: "Don't forget what I said, take a good rest." ”

Then, he stretched out his hand to help her lie on the couch, pulled the corner of the quilt for her, looked at her for a while, and then gently kissed the corner of his lips, then got up, left her with one last gentle smile, and turned away.

Mei Niang lay blankly in the curtain, watching him leave, and then ......

He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep as he had hoped.

- He was right, now she really needs to take a good rest.

Get a good rest.

Outside the hall, Li Zhi, who was slowly walking towards the jade chariot, stopped, turned his head with feeling, looked at the direction of the dormitory and smiled, and then took off his clothes without looking back, sat down, listened to Qinghe chanting to drive, and felt his body sway slightly with the jade chariot that was lifted......

"Qinghe."

Li Zhi whispered, but he didn't avoid Qinghe's ears.

Stepping forward quickly, Qinghe saluted, and heard Li Zhi whisper an order: "Go and spread Di Renjie." ”

"Yes."

"Remember, don't leave the news."

"Yes."

Qinghe bowed his head, and turned around to find someone to give orders.

An hour and a half later, the Taiji Hall of the Taiji Palace, in the Shang Study.

Li Zhi looked at the fold presented by Di Renjie in front of him, and was silent for a while. Then, he looked up at Di Renjie: "Is that all?" ”

"That's all I know at the moment. But even these are enough to conclude that the mastermind behind all this must be 'he'. Di Renjie replied calmly. But the tone and demeanor are not as good as before. There is always a sense of letting go of seeing through everything.

"Mei Niang summoned you to the palace yesterday, and I think you have already shown her this." Li Zhi raised his hand unexpectedly.

Di Renjie lowered his head and said softly: "Although 'he' acts like this, but 'he' ...... after all" At this point, Di Renjie didn't say anything more, just remained silent.

Li Zhi sighed and nodded: "I know your thoughts, and I know your heartache. But despite this, you can still do these things well, just this one thing shows that Mei Niang really didn't mislook at you, and you really deserve her humerus. ”

Di Renjie just smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he didn't explain much.

Li Zhi shook his head: "'He' has been by my side for all these years, and I know 'him's temperament best. These things must be 'he' intent to use the method of using force to make the queen really do it. It can be said that 'he' knows the queen's character deeply, and he is not inferior to 'his' understanding. But the difference is that compared to 'him', I still understand the queen's mood better, and I know better what kind of choices the queen will make. ”

"But this time, Lord, you have to say that what 'he' is doing is a two-way street. If he can provoke the queen to make a move and attract the world's slander, then 'he' will get his wish; if not, then 'he' can also use this method to force the queen to withdraw from the court on her own, and never ask about political affairs, and at the same time, it will be unfavorable to the lord, His Royal Highness the prince, and all the characters in the entire Tang Dynasty situation, all the characters in the ...... Dynasty."

When Di Renjie said this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply: "The so-called old scheming, but that's it." ”

"yes, but that's it. But 'he' counted everything, but only one person was missing. It's you, Huaiying. Li Zhi smiled warmly: "'He' leaked you." This is the biggest failure of 'his' plan. ”

"Minister? What can the minister do? Di Renjie smiled faintly, and there was a bit of bitterness in his smile: "Such a person, such a thing, the minister can do it, but he can't do it." ”

"What you can do is to support orthodoxy for the Tang Dynasty and turn the tide, so it is a great material; What you don't want to do is to be like 'him' and use all your wisdom and strategy against a woman, so it is a great virtue...... The so-called great virtue will be able to show the world and become the pillar of the country. The world is like a house, and the courtiers are like pillars. If from now on, everyone is as upright and selfless as you, Geng Jie is the country...... Where is there the risk of crooked pillars and roof collapse? ”

Li Zhichang laughed, got up, walked with his hands in his hands, stepped down the steps, walked to Di Renjie's side, and smiled confidently: "Huaiying needs to remember." The most clever conspiracy in the world will never be able to defeat Mingluo. The morning sun rises into the sky, and there is no trace of nature. You are in this Tang Dynasty world, and the entire court situation is the rising sun. As long as you figure this out, there will be nothing to do in this game, and it will be difficult for you to fall. ”

Di Renjie looked at Li Zhi worriedly, with a puzzled expression, but also a little moved and relieved.
