A feast comes to nothing and ends as quickly as it comes.
In the first confrontation, Li Zhi lost, not because he was incompetent, but because he couldn't refute what happened between him and Wu Zhao.
A few more months passed.
Because Wu Zhao was pregnant with a dragon, he was named Zhaoyi and gave birth to a son, named Li Hong.
Out of joy, Li Zhi placed Wu Zhao in the place where his mother once lived, the Li Zheng Palace.
But the good times did not last long. In the fourth year of Yonghui's reign, Wu Zhao, who had gone through many twists and turns and was favored, gave birth to another daughter, which hindered his luck and had to be taken care of.
Out of good intentions, Li Zhi ordered Wu Shun, Wu Zhao's sister, whose husband had died, to be brought into the palace.
Wu Zhao originally thought that he could come in to take care of her sister, so he agreed.
But I never thought that she was indeed taken care of, and even Li Zhi was taken care of by her! The one who takes care of him is called a person who stays out all night, and the one who takes care of him is called a helpless person!
Unlike Empress Wang, Wu Zhao didn't cry when she noticed this incident, and acted as usual, as if she didn't know anything.
Today, it was drizzling outside the house. Wu Zhao endured his physical discomfort and wanted to go out to look for Li Zhi, who had not seen him for several days.
When she came outside the main hall where Li Zhi worked, as a martial arts practitioner, she could hear subtle sounds dozens of meters away with a little concentration. At this time, she heard Li Zhi's shout from inside.
"Can you stop crying! I'm already annoyed enough!"
Wu Shun cried a little: "Mei Niang has been sarcastic to me these days and wants to drive me away. You said that my sister should serve her like a slave, but she turns her back on you at any time!"
Li Zhi sighed, feeling helpless.
"How can you blame her? I had a few drinks and did something like that with you. I'm sorry for her."
When Wu Mei outside the door heard this, she was slightly startled at first, and then murderous intent flashed in her eyes. However, after hearing the sorry words, she felt somewhat comforted. After all, she had just given birth to a child, and the emperor went out to have fun. Not normal?
Wu Shun said a little unhappy: "Whether it's right or wrong, she can't kick me out like this, can she?"
Li Zhi said calmly: "She is not in good health, so just listen to her and go out for a few days."
Wu Shun bit his lip and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying frankly that she wants to drive me away. Don't you dare to refute? Then she..."
"shut up!"
Li Zhi suddenly shouted loudly, which aroused his dissatisfaction.
"I am the current Holy Emperor, and I am limited by others. How can I be controlled by a concubine?"
Wu Shun was startled by the sudden voice. He did not dare to speak and could only cry silently.
Wu Mei's expression outside the door changed again and again.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It turns out that in his heart, I am just a concubine. It seems that I am no different from Xiao Shufei and the others... Am I wrong?"
Just when he was feeling sad, a eunuch carrying hot tea suddenly came over from a distance.
The moment he saw Wu Mei, he knew something and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Wu Zhaoyi is here!"
As the roar spread, the crying in the room suddenly stopped.
Wu Mei glanced at the eunuch coldly. The eunuch felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast. His legs could not help but tremble, and his throat was rolling and he did not dare to raise his head.
As Wu Mei entered slowly, Li Zhi immediately greeted her.
"Mei Niang, why did you come out? Are you feeling well?"
Seeing Li Zhi's worried face as if nothing had happened before, Wu Mei nodded: "It's okay, it's just that I feel bored waiting around all the time, so I went out for a walk."
After Wu Mei finished speaking, she looked around the room. When she saw a table, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Wu Shun was hiding behind him, but how could he hide this hiding trick from her?
"Mei Niang, can you walk now? The medicine Doctor Liu gave you is really good."
Li Zhi wanted to change the topic, but Wu Mei glanced at Li Zhi, with a slight smile on her face, and followed him and said:
"Yes, no matter what, Divine Doctor Liu is also the apprentice of Divine Doctor Sun, so naturally he won't be bad."
After the two chatted for a long time, she was sent back by Li Zhi himself.
Although this incident affected her mood, Wu Zhao could still bear it, but not long after, bad news suddenly came, which made her almost collapse.
Her newly born little daughter died!
Wu Zhao felt heartbroken, as her own flesh and blood disappeared in front of her eyes, causing her to faint many times.
After a series of investigations, the most suspicious person was Queen Wang, because this was the person who left her daughter in the end.
No one has any evidence for this, and even Li Zhi can't do anything about Queen Wang. What can he do even if he believes it?
The person standing behind Queen Wang was Changsun Wuji. More than half of the ministers said that they could not speak nonsense without evidence.
In this regard, Queen Wang said nothing because there was no evidence to prove that it was her, an outsider, or that she died of natural causes.
But this Liangzi, the two of them planted it directly!
Although Li Zhi felt uncomfortable after this incident, what was even more uncomfortable was that his control over government affairs was getting weaker and weaker.
He could learn something, but his heart was not in a good mood!
Yonghui five years.
Li Zhi endured it for another year, and finally felt too frustrated. He wanted to follow his father's example and go out incognito for private visits. He also accompanied Wu Zhao to relax, so that she would not be troubled by her child.
Although many disasters occurred in the past five years, luckily there was enough food and any damage could be quickly repaired.
Li Zhi and Wu Zhao came to the foot of a mountain outside a house.
"Mei Niang, please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."
Li Zhi gave an order, but before he could go up, Wu Zhao reached out and held him.
"I have never been to Yuan Tiangang's home, why can't you take me with you?"
Li Zhi looked embarrassed: "It's not that I don't want to take you, it's just... Mei Niang is obedient, I will be back soon."
After saying that, Wu Zhao had no choice but to nod, let go of Li Zhi, and let him walk up alone.
Looking at Li Zhi's retreating figure, Wu Zhao felt a little hesitant.
She asked herself what was she pursuing?
Is it to let my mother live a good life, or to be rich and well-clothed?
Or unforgettable love? Or is it now that the position of queen that she pursues will dominate the world?
Looking at the pavilion in the distance, she suddenly envied Li Yunxiao.
Although he was not in the court, he was valued by two generations of emperors. Even Changsun Wuji, who was in power, did not want to provoke him.
And what is the Xuantian Sect behind her?
Although there are many things that have helped her over the years, she can basically solve them by herself. Instead, she has to find a way to help them become officials in the court.
Snapped!
Wu Zhao suddenly slapped himself.
More than ten years of solitude in the cold palace made her understand what it means to be as deep as the sea and the sky should not be called, and the earth should not work. She wants power!
Don't let anyone bully your rights!
Ever since she came in, she has been swimming against the current. If she does not advance, she will retreat. If she cannot obtain the highest position in the world, she will be eliminated sooner or later!
