Chapter 206: Rise

Li Xiruo is indeed as Wu Zhaoyi thinks, she is indeed a cold person, she will not meddle in her affairs and help people who she doesn't care about, but Wu Zhaoyi is different, she is a person of destiny, but her own master has intervened in the fate of this person of destiny, she doesn't care.

She saved Wu Zhaoyi and helped Wu Zhaoyi, but she didn't want to waste too much energy on this person, she knew that Master's lifespan was short, and she had to refine the elixir of life in a limited number of days, so that Master and herself would be together forever.

It was not easy for her to have a home, and it was not easy for her to have such a good master, and she didn't want the master to leave. She didn't dare to imagine that when the master left, she would be left alone in heaven and earth, lonely, what was the point of her living?

Compared with the master, fame and fortune are not worth mentioning at all, as long as the master can be kept, even if it is in exchange for the throne, she is also willing, and it is better to be an emperor than to be able to stay by the master's side and be a well-behaved and obedient little disciple.

At first, she thought that the master would buy her just like the one who used her as a child daughter-in-law, and she also took a fancy to her usefulness, and wanted to use her to do something in the future, but unfortunately this is not the case, she has been with the master for so many years, and the master treats her better than her own daughter.

He didn't have any requirements for her, didn't ask for anything in return, and even everything he did was paving the way for his future little disciples after his death, it was really not enough to put himself in the palm of his hand.

In fact, Li Xiruo is a child who lacks love in her bones, the first person in her life who is good to her, so that she covets this warmth, once she is touched, she is no longer willing to let go, and even becomes an obsession.

In the following days, Wu Zhaoyi gave birth to her and Li Zhi's eldest son, so her mother was more expensive than her son, and she really had a place in the harem. It's a pity that Li Zhi's exclusive favor for her hindered the eyes of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, and these two really hated Wu Zhaoyi.

These two people are used to being arrogant and domineering in the harem, Queen Wang is not liked by Li Zhi because of her upright temperament, she has been suppressed by Concubine Xiao Shu for a long time, and she is somewhat restrained, but Concubine Xiao Shu is not that restrained, before Wu Zhaoyi returned to the palace, she has always been the most favored concubine by Li Zhi's side.

Li Zhi was very fond of her, so that she suppressed the queen all the year round, which made her arrogant and domineering in the harem a habit, and she didn't take Wu Zhaoyi in her eyes at all, and if she had nothing to do, she would find trouble with Wu Zhaoyi, verbally insult, or punish the palace people around Wu Zhaoyi.

What kind of person is Wu Zhaoyi, naturally she will not let Concubine Xiao Shubai bully. On the surface, she was well-behaved and submissive, but every time Wu Zhaoyi was harassed and bullied by Concubine Xiao Shu, Li Zhi could happen to meet or know.

At first, Li Zhi only lightly revealed, after all, she was a woman she had spoiled for many years, and those feelings were not fake, and Li Zhi didn't want to embarrass Concubine Xiao Shu too much, but warned her not to go too far with Wu Zhaoyi.

And Wu Zhaoyi will also be a person, and he will always stand up at this time and say that he is fine, it is his own fault, it is he who accidentally collided with Xiao Shufei, his position is lower than Xiao Shufei, and Xiao Shufei should teach herself a lesson.

But the more Wu Zhaoyi is like this, the more Li Zhi feels sorry for Wu Zhaoyi. He really likes Wu Zhaoyi, the kind of love at first sight, goodbye and love, otherwise he would not have risked the world's disapproval to take his father's woman into the palace, for which he was attacked and annihilated by ministers.

Concubine Xiao Shu relied on Li Zhi's love for many years, and when Wu Zhaoyi showed weakness, she arrogantly said that she didn't do anything, and she couldn't teach a little Zhaoyi a lesson from a high-ranking concubine? What's more, she is just a woman from that kind of background, what did she scold wrong?

As everyone knows, this is Wu Zhaoyi's weakness, and it is also Li Zhi's. What man likes to have a green on his head? His own woman was once owned by his father, is there anything worth showing off?

Li Zhi had a dislike for Concubine Xiao Shu for the first time, and the number of times he went to Concubine Xiao Shufei's palace naturally decreased. In the past, when Li Zhi was unhappy, there was also such a situation, but Li Zhi liked Xiao Shufei's beauty and beauty very much, usually Xiao Shufei was coquettish and had a temper, and the two of them passed.

But this time is different, Concubine Xiao Shu already poked Li Zhi's lung tube, but Li Zhi's heart is now on Wu Zhaoyi's body. With Wu Zhaoyi's gentle persuasion and comparison, Li Zhi's dissatisfaction with Concubine Xiao Shu naturally increased.

But Concubine Xiao Shu didn't know it, she felt that Li Zhi loved her, she had loved her for so many years, even if she was occasionally blinded by the fox spirit, she still loved herself in her heart, as long as the fox spirit was gone, Li Zhi would love her again as before.

So Concubine Xiao Shufei humiliated Wu Zhaoyi more and more, and she was also snubbed, and even Queen Wang, who was more neglected than Concubine Xiao Shu, would step on her feet at this time, making Wu Zhaoyi's life even more sad. didn't know that they were like this, which made Li Zhi feel even more sorry for Wu Zhaoyi.

Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei both knew about Wu Zhaoyi and Li Zhi, although he would also maintain it, but after all, one was the queen and the other was the concubine, he couldn't do too much, and he couldn't stay by Wu Zhaoyi's side all the time.

Wu Zhaoyi is also a gentle and virtuous lady, who thinks about everything for her own sake, and never complains to herself. Even if she learned from other places that she was being bullied, when she asked her, she only replied softly: "Your Majesty, it is a great honor for a concubine to serve by your side and give birth to children for you. I really don't want you to dislike the Wang family and the Xiao family for the sake of your concubines. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he was not only distressed by Wu Zhaoyi's intelligence, but also angry at his own incompetence. Since Li Zhi ascended the throne, he has been in a semi-puppet state, and the affairs of the DPRK and China are controlled by the old ministers and families of the DPRK and China everywhere.

He was only a young emperor, and neither his prestige nor connections were far enough to deter the courtiers, so he could only rely on a series of connections left by his father to keep the throne. For example, the queen's maiden family, the Wang family, the concubine's maiden family, the Xiao family, and her uncle's family, the Sun family.

And he enjoys the support of these people at the same time has to be controlled by them, he is actually an emperor who does not have much right to speak, once he encounters a major event, the courtiers admonish, he said that it doesn't count at all, this is what makes him the most aggrieved.

Li Zhi is the son of Li Shimin, he also has ambitions, and he also hopes that one day he will be like his father and emperor, and he will say everything in the court, so that all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will submit, instead of listening to the opinions of those old ministers first no matter what he says now.

So while Li Zhi pampered Wu Zhaoyi, he also regarded Wu Zhaoyi as a sign of rebellion against the family and the old ministers, the more you don't let me pamper Wu Zhaoyi, the more I want to pamper me. What about your daughters who are noble, I just don't like them, even if I don't touch them, can you still tie me to their bed?

Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu naturally also discovered Li Zhi's disgust and alienation from them, becoming more and more disgusted and estranged. They don't look for problems from themselves, and naturally think that Wu Zhaoyi's fox tricks have made His Majesty alienate them.

So, Queen Wang began to join forces with Concubine Xiao Shu to deal with Wu Zhaoyi, and almost tossed Wu Zhaoyi's life, if she wasn't a person of destiny, maybe under all kinds of dark means, her life would have been confessed.

This time, Wu Zhaoyi also hated Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, but unlike these two, she could bear it, no matter how much she hated these two people in her heart, she didn't show it at all on her face, and she still looked like a well-behaved and supple smile, as if she really regarded the two as good sisters.

When Li Xiruo entered the palace again, he was shocked to find that the faces of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei had changed, and there was a dead air on their faces, and if they continued like this, they were afraid that they would not live long, and Wu Zhaoyi's face was not only a little stronger than the emperor's purple qi, but also the phoenix qi.

How long has it been, a queen, a concubine, about to be killed? Can you say that she is worthy of being the future empress? This combat power is really not ordinary tough! Li Xiruo was dumbfounded, looked at Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu with sympathetic eyes, and stiffly greeted Wu Zhaoyi and left.

To be honest, since she knew Wu Zhaoyi's fierce combat effectiveness, she didn't want to have anything to do with Wu Zhaoyi, and she didn't see Wu Zhaoyi's thunderous monthly gifts.

She really felt that she was only suitable for alchemy and cultivation of immortals, palace fights and political fights or something, she felt that with her own brain, I was afraid that she would not live long before she would be greatly killed by the empress, so it was better not to participate in these battles.

Here, Li Xiruo ignored the gift given by Wu Zhaoyi, although Wu Zhaoyi was displeased, she didn't show much anger, because there were things that made her even more angry.

Since Wu Zhaoyi's daughter was "killed" by Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, Li Zhi had the intention of abolishing the queen and changing Wu Zhaoyi to be the queen. It's a pity that the old minister didn't agree with Wu Zhaoyi to live or die, and that was also very ugly.

What Wu Zhaoyi is the woman of the first emperor, or has she been a nun, she is not innocent, how can this kind of person be worthy of being a queen? Moreover, they firmly believe that Queen Wang was wronged, even if she was not wronged, the Wang family was not the queen, and Wu Zhaoyi could not be appointed as the queen.

Even if Li Zhi and Wu Zhaoyi don't like it in their hearts, there is no way, those old ministers are all people who really control the government, even Li Zhi, the emperor, is just an emperor who has no right to speak, and he has to listen to these old ministers for such things in the future.

Li Zhi and Wu Zhaoyi gave gifts to the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and other important ministers of the court three times and twice, and these important ministers of the court all directly returned the salute, and did not give Li Zhi face to the emperor at all, and it was difficult to hear anything about Wu Zhaoyi.

Wu Zhaoyi thought that he was a tolerant person, and persuaded Li Zhi to go to the eldest grandson Wuji's house to visit and give gifts with him, but who knew that he was directly humiliated and driven out, which made Wu Zhaoyi completely hate the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang and others.
