It's just that after Wu Meiniang returned to the palace, she was no longer the innocent girl who had made him remember for many years, although he was disappointed, he still remembered the good memories of his youth, and still loved Wu Meiniang.

And the young and bright Helan Minyue reminded him of the shadow he left in his heart when he was young, he couldn't help but get closer, and he couldn't help but be greedy. And Helan Minyue also admired herself like the girl back then, which made him feel that the whole person was rejuvenated and returned to the period of youth and love.

It is said that young love is the most unforgettable, and he is immersed in that unforgettable heart at this time. And Empress Wu ruined his unforgettable heart, how could he not be sad and angry.

He is not a fool, and if he is a fool, it is impossible to stand out among the brothers, take the crown prince and ascend the throne as the emperor. If it was a fool, it would be impossible for a fool to use Wu Meiniang's ingenuity to suppress the old foxes in the court, and successfully get rid of the embarrassment of the puppet.

The only thing he has remembered in his heart over the years is the mother and daughter of Wu Shunniang and Helan Minyue, not only because these two are outstanding, but also because this is Queen Wu's own sister and niece, he didn't expect that Queen Wu's so-called virtuous generosity is that even her own sister can start.

It simply refreshed his cognition of Empress Wu in his heart, in the past, no matter how jealous Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were, they just tortured her, humiliated and humiliated her, and they didn't see anyone directly poison her to death.

Li Zhi suddenly felt that he never really knew the person next to him, that smart and resolute, gentle and virtuous woman may be just an illusion at all, just the way she pretended to be in front of him?

If this is the case, then could he have misunderstood Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu in the first place? In his impression, even if Queen Wang is forgotten, Concubine Xiao Shuke has always been an arrogant rectum, how could she secretly kill Wu Meiniang's daughter?

Once a person has doubts about another person, he will constantly reflect on this person's past and analyze all her things. The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and he unconsciously walked to the cold palace where Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were imprisoned.

This can surprise Li Zhi a lot, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei were tortured almost inhuman, no matter how you look at it, it is not the appearance that he once knew, although he has never seen a beggar, but at this time, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei are almost the same as the beggar woman described in the mouths of others.

Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were also his women, one was his wife, and the other was a woman he had pampered for many years, even if they were beaten into the cold palace, how could they be so bullied? This made Li Zhi's whole face darken.

Concubine Xiao Shu and Queen Wang have suffered for many years, and finally saw Li Zhi, it was really miserable and sad to cry, especially Concubine Xiao Shu, who was already a coquettish master, at this time, she was even more miserable like grasping the last straw, which softened Li Zhi's crying heart and promised to find a way to let them out of the cold palace.

Not long after Li Zhi came here, Empress Wu received the news over there. Originally, Queen Wu humiliated these two people and avenged the past revenge, but she was not ready to kill these two people. But these two are so restless and want to come out to fight with themselves, then it's no wonder she is ruthless.

Li Zhi was still thinking about how to bypass Empress Wu and release Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu out of the cold palace, after all, Empress Wang was the queen of the main palace in the past, and she was the crown princess personally chosen by Emperor Taizong for her, the future queen, and the mother of a country.

If Queen Wang comes out, what kind of concubine will she be named and live under Queen Wu? Or let Empress Wu give way, and she will be the queen again? No matter what it was, it was not good news for Empress Wu, and he believed that Empress Wu would not allow such a thing to happen.

Before he could come up with a countermeasure, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu died in the cold palace over there. Li Zhi was furious when he heard the news, and summoned Shangguan Yi to abolish the queen in impulse and resentment, but unfortunately the abolished edict was only half written, and it was intercepted by Empress Wu, who rushed over.

Empress Wu smiled as gently and softly as before, she gently picked up the half-written edict, looked at the content as if inadvertently, and said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty wants to abolish the concubine?" ”

Empress Wu obviously smiled very gently, but Li Zhi was stunned by such a smile and shuddered, the more he understood Empress Wu, the more he knew the ruthlessness of this woman, as long as it was in her way, even if it was her own sister, she could poison her without hesitation, and her brother could be directly pulled out and cut.

Such a woman, when she knows that she is going to be abolished, does she still have a way to live? Now the palace has long been in the hands of Empress Wu, otherwise it would not have been two days before Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu died.

What's more, now that most of the power in the court is in the hands of Empress Wu, if this edict is sent out today, Empress Wu may not have anything to do, but now that the edict has been intercepted, he has no doubt that he insists on abolishing it today, and Empress Wu will let herself die here in order to clear the obstacles.

Li Zhi trembled, and said with a forced smile: "What are you talking about, you and I are husband and wife, how can I be abolished?" It was this official who wrote such an edict on his own initiative, and I was going to punish him for his crimes. ”

Empress Wu raised her eyebrows lightly: "Oh? Is it Lord Shangguan who wants to abolish the concubine, and His Majesty is about to punish him? As he spoke, his eyes fell on Shangguan Yi.

Shangguan Yi's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, he was finally Li Tang Jiangshan, otherwise he would not have been summoned by Li Zhi to the palace to write the edict after the abolition, and besides, he really couldn't get used to this Empress Wu, and Si Chen was just a woman, a woman who had served the first emperor, this kind of person was the mother of a country, it was a shame.

Therefore, when Li Zhi asked him to write the edict of the abolition, he did not hesitate to write it, thinking that since Li Zhi let him write this edict, when Empress Wu and the officials of Empress Wu and Empress Wu wanted to take revenge on him, he thought that Li Zhi would also protect himself.

Otherwise, he did something for him, but he didn't protect himself, who would dare to give him his life in the future? But he never thought that before he could take revenge, as soon as Empress Wu came, he sold himself and withdrew himself to take the blame.

Shangguan Yi couldn't believe his ears, he couldn't believe that Li Zhi would say such a thing, who was he loyal to? Is it really worth it to die for such a person?

Shangguan Yi knew that at this time, both Li Zhi and Empress Wu hoped that their answer would be what Li Zhi said, otherwise the two of them would not be able to get off the stage, and he would not be able to get better.

He took a deep breath and said dejectedly: "Back to the words of the queen's mother, what Your Majesty said is true, and Your Majesty is planning to punish the ministers." ”

Empress Wu raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect this Shangguan Yi to carry the blame so thoroughly, she glanced at Li Zhi, who was relieved beside her, but her face was not very good, sneered, and said to Li Zhi: "Since this is the case, then let the concubine punish his crimes, Your Majesty has been in poor health recently, it is better to rest more." ”

Ignoring Li Zhi, whose face suddenly changed ugly, he said directly: "Passing the decree, Shangguan Yi pretending to pass the holy decree, disrespecting the emperor and queen, and making a decision." ”

Empress Wu knew that Shangguan Yi was taking the blame for Li Zhi, but she still did not hesitate to kill Shangguan Yi, firstly, to set an example for the monkey, so that no one would dare to write any edict to abolish the queen in the future, and secondly, to deter Li Zhi and make him think twice before making a move against him.

Shangguan Yi didn't have any expression on his face, he had expected that he would end up like this, and there was nothing to be sad about. He smiled bitterly, saluted Li Zhi respectfully, and walked out with the guards who captured him after tidying up his appearance.

Li Zhi's face turned white when he saw this series of actions, Shangguan Yi was also one of the ministers of the first emperor, but he was far inferior to the eldest grandson Wuji and others in terms of qualifications and merits, so he was not reused before, and he was not liquidated by Empress Wu.

But since he has the words of the first emperor to trust Gu, he is naturally loyal to Li Zhi, and he will not watch Li Tang be controlled by a woman. Li Zhi saw Shangguanyi's loyalty, so he asked Shangguanyi to write the edict after the abolition, who knew that now this last loyal minister was also killed.

As Shangguan Yi expected, Li Zhi pushed Shangguan Yi out to take the blame, and no one dared to give Li Zhi his life anymore. After Shangguan Yi's death, Li Zhi's life became more and more difficult.

Empress Wu really hates Wu Shunniang's family now, because of the deaths of Wu Shunniang and Helan Minyue, Li Zhi completely separated from her, and the deaths of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu made Li Zhi think about abolishing the queen, and her life now is not as good as before.

Li Zhi is a serious Tang Dynasty emperor, can she still lock Li Zhi up? Therefore, she now has to consolidate the power in her hands, but also appease Li Zhi and ease the relationship with Li Zhi, which makes her very busy, and Li Xiruo is also pulled out to deal with government affairs.

Li Xiruo often walks around the palace because she helps Empress Wu deal with government affairs, and this more movement makes her unexpectedly see the current prince, Li Zhi and Empress Wu's eldest son Li Hong, Li Xiruo's heart can't help but tremble three times the moment she sees Li Hong's face.

Where is this person who is suitable to be a prince, it is almost the same as being a monk, his brain is not enough, he is soft-hearted and benevolent, he is often used by others, and finally died at the hands of his mother.

If Li Xi understands Empress Wu, she is not a murderer, not to mention that the other party is still her own son, unless the other party has done something that touches her bottom line, so that Empress Wu will not kill her anymore.

Li Xiruo shook his head, this is also a poor person, but he can't live long without brains in this palace. She sighed, ready to leave past Li Hong, but she didn't want Li Hong to stop Li Xiruo directly, and opened a clear smile at Li Xiruo: "This fairy girl, why are you sighing?" ”
