Chapter 208: The Will to Survive
Many of the people who came to Taishi Ling's Mansion to mourn witnessed Li Xiruo fainting in front of the spirit with a mouthful of blood vomiting in front of the spirit, and when Li Zhi sent the imperial doctor to come to diagnose and treat, the imperial doctor said that Li Xiruo himself was not unwell, but he was too sad and had no business, so he refused to wake up.
To put it bluntly, she doesn't want to live anymore. This can make Li Zhi anxious, he has not forgotten his father's dying entrustment, his father said that if this Li Xi is his life talisman, if he keeps Li Xiruo, he can ensure that he will not fall in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he is likely to not be able to keep this Li Tang world.
But if Li Xi doesn't want to live anymore, what can he do? And Li Xiruo was overly sad because of her master's death and didn't want to live, he didn't have the ability to let her master come back to life.
Li Zhi was anxious and found Empress Wu to help come up with ideas, and it just so happened that Empress Wu also didn't want Li Xiruo to die, so Empress Wu found her personal palace maid to visit Li Xiruo, and kept saying in the ear of the unconscious Li Xiruo day and night how Li Chunfeng almost killed Empress Wu back then.
Later, how did she humiliate Empress Wu, who viciously poisoned Li Chunfeng. Now that Li Chunfeng is dead, the only apprentice who can support him is also dead, Queen Wu no longer has to worry about anything, and then she just needs to find a reason to secretly dig up Li Chunfeng and whip the corpse.
He also said that in this Tang Dynasty, it may be difficult to find a master of Xuanmen like the Li family, but those evil cultivators are still easy to find, anyway, the Li family is dead, and they are not afraid of their revenge. Empress Wu found a few evil cultivators and tried to trap Li Chunfeng's soul in the corpse, whip the corpse day and night, and torture him, but there was no way.
Li Xiruo finally had the will to survive after listening to such words for a few days, just as Empress Wu thought, Li Xiruo has no nostalgia for this world, the only thing she cares about is the master, she must not allow the master to suffer such humiliation and torture after death.
Because Li Xiruo has the will to survive, although she has a lot of blood and a lot of damage to her body, but in the end, she has saved her life, and then she just needs to slowly cultivate.
She herself is an alchemist, what kind of good medicine can't be refined, when it comes to the medicine to nourish the body, the medicine prescribed by the doctor in the Tai Hospital is not on the same level as the one in her hand.
Li Xiruo's health gradually improved, Li Zhi was overjoyed, and he praised Queen Wu even more. Empress Wu not only has a charming and moving face, a competitive belly, but also a smart brain, comparable to her father's living brain.
This made Li Zhi more and more dependent on Empress Wu and more and more favored. Different from the pampering and arrogance of other concubines, even if Empress Wu is now under one person, above ten thousand people, holding heavy power, she is still obedient to Li Zhi, virtuous and gentle, which makes Li Zhi love Empress Wu even more, and began to grace Empress Wu's family.
Just as the fortune teller Taoist thought back then, Empress Wu's two elder brothers relied on Empress Wu's official fortune to prosper, and even Empress Wu's mother and widow sister were also crowned Mrs. Guo because of Empress Wu.
The first thing Li Xiruo did after recuperating was to convey the news to Empress Wu that she was willing to assist her, and the only requirement was that Empress Wu would end her life, and she would not be disrespectful to Master Li Xiruo, and she would not have any thoughts of revenge.
The reason why Empress Wu can become the only female emperor in history is that her open-mindedness is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, let alone women, that is, there are few emperors in history who can compare.
can get the help of a general like Li Xiruo, who can be called a plug-in, what if Li Chunfeng's grievances were let go, Queen Wu herself is not a scheming philistine, so she happily agreed to Li Xiruo's conditions.
In order to protect the peace of the master after his death, Li Xiruo reinvigorated, and while going out of the mountain to assist the future empress, he used the power in the empress's hands to search for various rare medicinal materials and continue to study the refining of the elixir of life.
Li Xiruo never thought that after she agreed to assist Empress Wu, she saw Empress Wu's charming sister when she entered the palace for the first time, and at the first sight of that beauty, Li Xiruo was stunned in her heart, she knew that this person was destined to have a short life.
Empress Wu knew very well in her heart that Emperor Taizong was able to successfully conquer the world and sit on the throne, and Li Chunfeng's assistance was indispensable during the period. Xuanmen Taoist priests don't just tell fortunes and draw talismans.
The real Taoist priest, all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought are must-read, and the literature and ink in the stomach are no worse than those ministers in the court, and they are definitely better. Li Xiruo, a genius descendant who is said to be several times more talented than Li Chunfeng, is not very old, but it is definitely not much worse than his master.
Empress Wu had seen Li Xiruo's combat effectiveness when she was still a talented person, this little girl who was only in her early teens back then, just a few years after receiving from the farmhouse, she was able to almost send the entire Wang family to the opposite side of the royal family with one mouth, this wit is definitely not bad for ordinary strategists.
Therefore, Empress Wu planned to take a good look at Li Xiruo and change the bad impression left by threatening Li Xiruo when Li Xiruo was unconscious. But I didn't want Li Xiruo to have a dignified look on her face after seeing her sister.
How smart Queen Wu is, she figured out the joints with a turn of her eyes, waved away all the people in her palace, and asked her sister to go out for a walk by the way, saying that she had something to communicate with Lord Li alone.
Wu Shunniang didn't think too much, Rourou turned towards Li Xiruo, and followed the palace maids out. Li Xiruo sighed deeply when she saw this, and suddenly felt that this Wu Shunniang was not unjustly dead, she was too greedy, people died for money, birds died for food, and she could only blame herself if she died.
Empress Wu still had a soft and gentle smile on her face after her sister went out: "Lord Li, but what's wrong with my sister?" Please let me know. This palace and my sister have been close since childhood, and I can't bear to have any accidents with my sister. ”
Li Xiruo looked at the gentle-smiling Empress Wu, and was silent for a long time, and only when the smile on Empress Wu's face was about to be unbearable did she speak: "Sister Ling will meet ...... in the future Your Majesty has an affair ......"
Empress Wu's face changed suddenly when she heard this, there have been no fewer women around Li Zhi over the years, and those women did not pose much threat to her, which could not only show her virtuous generosity, but also give her time to deal with the government, she did not have much opinion.
She will not let those women give birth to children, and after a while, she will take the initiative to replace Li Zhi with a few young and beautiful women, and dispose of the previous batch, so that Li Zhi will not notice anything and show his virtue even more.
But she would never let her own sister do that kind of thing to entrap Li Zhi, let alone dispose of her own sister, so there is only one possibility for her sister to have an affair with Li Zhi, and her sister posted it herself.
Empress Wu's always smiling face couldn't help but be gloomy anymore, and the nails on her hands were almost bleeding from her palms, that was her own sister! How could she? How can it? How can she be worthy of herself?
My sister-in-law died a few years after marrying into the Helan family, and the Helan family thought it was her sister Kefu, and her life in her husband's family was not easy. If he hadn't brought a son and a daughter, maybe he would have been buried by his brother-in-law.
She thought of the sisterhood she had grown up with since she was a child, and she couldn't bear her sister to live a life of being treated harshly in her husband's house, so she found a reason to help her watch the children and took her sister and her sister's children to the palace, so that she no longer had to be bullied by her husband's family.
But what did your kindness get in exchange? It turned out to be a husband who coveted herself? She wanted to open her mouth to refute a few words, wanting to say that her sister is not such a person, and her sister would not do such a thing to be sorry for herself, but looking at Li Xiruo on the other side, who was cold and expressionless, she swallowed all her words back.
She believes that Li Xiruo's character will not be untrustworthy, since she said so, that is something she can be sure of.
Empress Wu gently closed her eyes, released her clenched fist, and exhaled: "Thank you, Lord Li, Lord Li's kindness, this palace will remember it." Master Li, I will ask the people below to step up their search for the medicinal materials needed for alchemy. ”
Li Xiruo shook his head, who has been called a lonely person since ancient times has family affection at all? This future empress looks lucky, the emperor of heaven, how lucky. But how many people know the sadness behind her, if it were herself, she would rather not have the position of the emperor than the fate of these six relatives.
"Niangniang is polite, since Weichen has agreed to assist Niangniang, he will naturally fulfill his responsibilities."
Empress Wu suppressed the pain and resentment in her heart, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw Li Xiruo who was speaking, and Li Xiruo's expression was very serious, so that everyone could see that she said this from the bottom of her heart.
Empress Wu also suddenly understood that although this talented young Taishi Ling is cold and indifferent to irrelevant people, she does what she says, she promises you that she will do her best, she is not without heart, but she only cares about people close to her.
Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on Empress Wu's face, since she knew that Li Xiruo was such a person, she knew how to treat Li Xiruo. Exchange sincerity for sincerity, I believe that one day, Li Xiruo will help himself from the bottom of his heart, instead of exchanging interests.
After Li Xiruo left, Empress Wu's face became gloomy again, and after thinking about it again, she still couldn't bear to do anything to her own sister, but just talked to her sister once, saying that it was not suitable for her to stay in the palace all the time, so it was better to send her out to live with their mother.
But Wu Shunniang didn't want to say anything, only said that her sister had suffered so much in the palace, and now she had to review and review the folds every day, and she had to serve the emperor, how could she have time to take care of the children? She really can't let go if she doesn't stay to take care of the children.
If something happens to the child and Wu Meiniang becomes a childless queen, then there will be less dependence in the future, and she must help her sister in the palace.
