Chapter 208
Wu Meiniang was full of despair, she lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly: "Master Li, why do you think my sister is like this? Although my father has trained me more, he has never treated my sister badly. My sister didn't let go of what she should learn.

My sister blamed her father for marrying her into the Helan family, but she didn't know how much I envied her. If I could, I would rather be the one who married into the Helan family.Does my sister really think that it is a good thing to come to the palace to be a concubine for a dying old man?The disasters I have encountered are beyond her imagination,
It is not an exaggeration to say that a narrow escape is not an exaggeration. If nothing else is said, my sister would never be able to survive the punishment in the Department of Punishment. If she had come here instead, she would have died in this palace a long time ago.I think I have never been sorry for my sister. It is understandable that she wants to find a good husband. With my current status, even if

My sister is remarried, and I can also find her a son of a family, so that the other family will respectfully support her and her two children, and live the rest of her life comfortably.If we can get along in a different place, I am willing to marry a son of an aristocratic family, and we will be a couple for the rest of our lives.There is a choice, who wants
Living a life of extreme anxiety in this cannibalistic harem?People in the world only see me as superior and the mother of a country, but they don't know what kind of life I will live in the future, and if I am not careful, I will step into death.Li Zhi is a lover, he is the most merciful towards beauties, but he is also a ruthless person.

Husband and wife have been kind for a hundred days, but when he turned his face, he was more ruthless than anyone else. Look at what happened to Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu?If I can't handle my sister's affairs well, the Queen Wang's today will be my tomorrow. "

There was no change on Li Xiruo's face when he heard the words. In Li Xiruo's heart, family affection is an indifferent thing.Isn't the betrayal of loved ones normal?Not long after she was born, she was sold by her parents to a neighbor's house as a child bride. Later, when the neighbor was about to be sold to that dirty place by herself, she asked her biological parents to save her.

The results of it?
She still remembers the indifferent eyes of her parents and brothers, as if she was not born by them at all, not to mention helping herself, not even a word of comfort, only saying that she was sold to someone else's house, she is someone else's, they can't control it , Let her settle down and don't make trouble.

Those are the biological parents who gave birth to her, and her own brother, who is a compatriot from the same mother, isn't that the way to treat herself?So Li Xiruo felt that it was not surprising that Wu Shunniang could do such a thing. The most disgusting thing in the world has always been the human heart.

It is precisely because of this that Li Xiruo, a practitioner of Taoism, has never had the slightest bit of compassion, but only cares about her master, and she only cares about people who are good to herself.

"People's hearts have always been like this, so you don't have to be too sad." Li Xiruo sighed slightly.

Wu Meiniang raised her eyes, looked at Li Xiruo's expressionless face, and remembered how Li Xiruo was so sad when Li Chunfeng passed away, vomiting blood from her heart, without the slightest will to survive.

If she hadn't seen Li Xiruo's appearance at the time, she would definitely think that Li Xiruo was cold-hearted and ruthless when she saw Li Xiruo at this time. It can be seen that Li Xiruo knew Li Xiruo only after seeing Li Xiruo at that time She is really a person with deep love and righteousness, but her love and her righteousness are all divided.

Empress Wu calmed down from the sad atmosphere, and suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Xiruo's thoughts. The most disgusting thing in this world is the human heart. You never know what other people are thinking. Why waste your energy on this guy.

Empress Wu was a ruthless person, but when she thought about it, she became even more ruthless, and said to Li Xiruo: "What Master Li said is true." It's just that after thinking about Li Xiruo's character, she treated Li Xiruo a little more. Very sincerely, such a person is worth paying.

The two chatted for a while, Empress Wu gave Li Xiruo a lot of rare medicinal materials and gold and silver treasures, and asked the maids around her to send Li Xiruo out, and when she reappeared, it was the empress with a gentle smile .

After experiencing Wu Shunniang's incident, Empress Wu also saw clearly that she is no longer based on Li Zhi's favor, Li Zhi's love is too changeable.Wu Shunniang's little calculations can make Li Zhi divorce her heart, and almost follow in the footsteps of Queen Wang. Such a person is simply unreliable.

Empress Wu understood that all she could rely on at this time was the power in her hands, and she was the only one with great power. When it reached the point where Li Zhi had to be scruples, Li Zhi dared not think about abolishing the empress easily.

Wasn't it the same when the king and queen were abolished?If it wasn't for the fact that he finally won over Xu Jingzong and others, and let him pull up a faction that belongs to him and Li Zhi to fight against the veterans such as Changsun Wuji, how could Li Zhi successfully abolish the empress.

So Empress Wu began to face up to the power in her hands, and began to secretly summon Xu Jingzong and others, asking them to help her eradicate dissidents, cultivate a group of officials who were only loyal to herself, and encouraged Li Zhi to make the two of them the emperor and queen, so as to exalt herself The status of the government allows everyone to admit that they can listen to politics.

When Empress Wu began to listen to the government, and there were constant objections from the courtiers below, Empress Wu invited Li Xiruo, the Taishi Ling, to stand beside her, and asked Li Xiruo to express that it was her destiny to listen to politics. Where to go.

Li Xiruo's statement caused an uproar in the court. The veterans who are still alive here have fought the world with Emperor Taizong. They also have a certain understanding of Li Chunfeng. They know that Li Chunfeng is most loyal to Emperor Taizong. Don't do anything bad for that.

And most of them have heard about the fact that Empress Wu gave Li Chunfeng a gift and was ridiculed and kicked out of Taishiling's mansion. No one thought that Li Xiruo, Li Chunfeng's most valued direct disciple, Li Tang's life-saving talisman in Emperor Taizong's will actually He took refuge in Empress Wu.

An old minister directly stood up and accused Li Xiruo of such a traitorous behavior with heartache. Li Xiruo asked coldly, "Dare to ask this lord, why can't the empress listen to the government?"

The old official said angrily: "How can a rooster serve as the morning? How can she, a woman, participate in court affairs?"

Li Xiruo's indifferent gaze was filled with sarcasm: "I am also a woman."

The old minister looked at Li Xiruo in astonishment, and for a moment didn't know how to speak.

Li Xiruo ignored him lazily, and said with a cold face: "Master only said that you should not do things that will hinder Li Tang's world. The empress listens to the government and helps your majesty. It is beneficial and harmless. If you are a woman, you can only stay in the backyard of the harem. Master would not have me as a disciple."

This old-fashioned thing is really interesting. Are you uncomfortable when you say things that look down on women to a woman?Sure enough, after Li Xiruo finished speaking, the old-fashioned face blushed, and he didn't say any other rebuttals in a daze.

Li Xiruo's face was condensed, and Empress Wu beside her had a gentle smile, forming a strange scene, but the two of them cooperated so well that the officials standing below shivered.

Who doesn't know that Tai Shiling has the ability to turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain, and he can destroy your whole family without anyone noticing. If you offended Empress Wu before, Empress Wu would have to find you a crime Only then can she deal with you, and with Li Xiruo's help, she can destroy you without even finding any charges.

Someone wanted to persuade Li Xiruo not to help the tyrant, but Li Xiruo's face was almost covered, how dare you look down on women?The courtiers didn't know how to speak, and began to curse the dead Li Chunfeng in their hearts, why didn't they accept a male disciple.

Apart from the people in the inner palace and the courtiers outside, Empress Wu could use no one else. In order to seize the power in her hands as soon as possible, Empress Wu invited Li Xiruo to live in the palace, and specially arranged for him to live in the palace. A hall of Taishiling was built in the middle of the palace.

Li Zhi has no objection to this, Li Xiruo is the person he wants to win over, and he is also happy to be close to his Li family.Since then, Li Xiruo has become Empress Wu's right-hand man, assisting Empress Wu and Li Zhi in handling court affairs.

I have to say that Li Xiruo's talent and Li Chunfeng's knowledge are both first-class. Although Li Xiruo is not very old, he can really compare with those veteran court officials in handling court affairs. Empress Wu believes that , After getting to know each other for a while, if Li Xiruo is given a chancellor, she will be able to accept it.

All the officials in the court were stunned when they learned that Tai Shiling no longer practiced alchemy behind closed doors, but actually entered the court and served as half of the prime minister.Anyone who has a little friendship with Li Chunfeng knows what kind of temperament these two masters and apprentices are. This Empress Wu actually has the ability to ask Li Xiruo to go out of the customs to work for her, which shows how powerful her methods are.

Li Xiruo followed Empress Wu and watched indifferently as Empress Wu used bloody and cruel methods to suppress and slaughter those families and people who refused to accept her, without making any comments. Although she has not experienced political struggles, she also knows that The truth of success and death, since ancient times, which emperor has been in power without bloody hands?

As long as these killings are not done by her own hands and her merits are not damaged, she will be lazy.His master is a genuinely benevolent person. If someone is in danger, no matter whether he knows him or not, he will try his best to help them.

But I don't have that kind of heart, and I don't know that Master Quanxia knows, so will I be disappointed in myself?Thinking of Master, Li Xiruo's expression darkened, and Empress Wu promised herself to give herself the Zhu Yanguo that Xu Jingzong asked someone to offer to her for research.

Thinking that the vermilion fruit recorded in the ancient books is likely to be a compound of longevity medicine, her previous depression was swept away. As long as she can find the formula and know that this medicine is really useful, then she will devote all her efforts to find this medicine. , she believes that if she can find one, she can find the second one.

What she didn't expect was that Zhu Yanguo actually attracted that person. Although she dealt with that person herself, she was always uneasy. Whenever she thought of that person, she felt that she had done something that should not be done.
