How much this dynasty valued a woman's status, I already knew it very well after staying here for such a long time.
If Xiaorou is allowed to follow him without any status, the two of them will have no choice but to hide even if they have a child.
When the time comes, he wants to leave this position to his own son, and does not want other people's sons to inherit the throne.
"Brother Emperor, I have something to tell you."
Li Ke looked at Li Zhi who hurriedly came to the palace to find him, and sighed helplessly.
Why does this man always come to me at random times? He is clearly agitated right now. Is he, a well-fed man, here to show off to himself, a hungry man?
"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I'm very irritable right now. Don't continue to bother me here."
After hearing the very impatient tone of his royal brother, Li Zhi realized that he seemed to have come at the wrong time.
But thinking that since he was already here, it would really be unreasonable to leave with his tail between his legs.
"Brother Imperial, I discovered that my father seemed to have specially trained a pair of secret guards for Mei Niang, and let Mei Niang control them herself. I have discovered some clues in the past two days while getting along with Mei Niang, but I don't know. I know how to deal with this matter, so I thought of attacking and asked you."
After Li Ke heard this, he was immediately shocked.
He never expected that his father could be so confused.
Nowadays even this kind of thing can be done.
If Li Zhi hadn't discovered this kind of thing in advance, he might still be kept in the dark now.
"Does Wu Meiniang know about the fact that you entered the palace? Is it unclear to her now that you discovered that she has a secret guard?"
After Li Zhi heard this, he quickly shook his head.
"Mei Niang doesn't know about this. When she used the secret guard that day, she did it at night when I was asleep."
"At that time, I turned over and realized that there was no one around me, so I got off the bed to look for her. After I found out about this, I didn't tell anyone, and I came to the palace to find you as soon as possible. Make it clear."
After Li Zhi finished saying this, he still couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Imperial, if the final truth about this matter has nothing to do with Mei Niang, or if Mei Niang is willing to hand over all those secret guards to you, can you not use the criminal law and don't arrest her then? Don't. Deal with her, if you want to deal with it, deal with me."
"She is a weak woman who really cannot withstand those tortures. If you feel really uncomfortable at that time, you can take it out on me, and I will accept it."
After Li Ke heard his silly brother say such words, he didn't know how to answer him for a moment.
This kid is really stupid. Some things are just a little bit cool, but I didn't expect him to be an infatuated person.
No wonder the entire Tang Dynasty was ruined in the hands of this brat. It turns out that he is really a love brain.
"I will ask my father about this matter first to confirm whether it is serious before making a decision. Don't be anxious yet."
"If you are in a hurry here and the ministers in the court find out about it, they will force me to resign from the priesthood. Then there is nothing I can do. If this matter is hidden well, I can deal with it privately at that time. If you drop it, it won’t affect Wu Meiniang’s life and safety.”
Li Zhi, who was still worried at first, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
As long as his royal brother is willing to help him, no matter what happens next, he will have a way to solve it.
After sending Li Zhi away, Li Ke immediately took his servants to the courtyard where Li Shimin lived.
"Father, my son and I are confused about something, and I still need my father to help me clear up my doubts."
After Li Shimin heard his son ask such questions, he put down the tea cup in his hand and looked up at him.
"I wonder what your Majesty is puzzled about? If I knew, I would definitely tell you everything."
"Father, did you train a team of secret guards for Wu Meiniang at that time, and all the secret guards were mobilized under her command?"
Li Shimin, who originally seemed calm and composed, immediately became nervous after hearing this.
He never expected that the chess pieces he had laid out earlier would be discovered so quickly.
"This was indeed what I did in the first place, but I trained that team of secret guards for him just so that Wu Meiniang could protect herself."
"Did you know in your heart that the ministers in the court were eyeing Mei Niang covetously when you were the prince?"
"If I don't prepare a pair of secret guards for Mei Niang, if he is killed by those people in secret, I won't be able to accept it myself."
After Li Ke heard his father say such words, he sneered, opened his thin lips slightly, and then asked.
"Don't panic, were you originally afraid of being forced into the palace by us princes and you would have no other choice? That's why you specially trained a pair of secret guards for Wu Meiniang to save you in times of crisis, or was it really just to protect him? safety?"
"If it is really just to protect Wu Meiniang's safety, wouldn't it be enough to have a team of guards follow him all the time? Besides, Wu Meiniang can't leave the palace anyway. Even if someone wants to harm him, they won't do it openly. They will only do it openly. Things like poisoning in the dark are something that the secret guards can't prevent."
"Father, now I can't understand you more and more. Before, I thought you sincerely wanted to step down from this position, and then give this position to me. After all, you did stupid things before. There are really too many, and as a result, it seems that you did not sincerely want to give this position to me when you abdicated."
"Having Zhi'er take Wu Meiniang out of the palace must be part of your plan, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so determined to let people leave. If you had been a little firmer at that time, I would have kept the people for you. In the palace, Father, do you think so?"
"Now I finally understand why Wu Meiniang looked so worried at that time. It turned out that she was afraid that your plot would be discovered. I just feel chilled by it. The father he fell in love with now actually plots against him as well. I got up, I really don’t know…”
