"Father...!"

In Xuanzheng Hall, Li Hong knelt in front of Li Zhi, tears kept falling: "Please go and see the queen of mother, she really can't do it."

"Class..." Li Zhi was stunned: "What's wrong with Mei Niang?"

"The imperial doctor said that the queen mother is already terminally ill, and it may be too late...!" As he said that, Li Hong knelt on the ground and kowtowed and shouted: "Father, please go and take a look at the queen mother..."

"Why is this happening..." In an instant, Li Zhi also felt a little shocked. Why couldn't she do it?

You should know that Li Zhi had feelings for Wu Zetian. There was never an emperor in history. Just like Li Zhi was against Wu Zetian, this was not the condescending favor of the traitorous concubine, but a kind of holy love...

If Wu Zetian did not do it himself, Li Zhi would not have done it.

Some people say that Li Zhi appointed Wu Zetian as his queen to deal with the Changsun Party. Yes, he had this purpose, but there were so many women in the world. He chose the most difficult one, his father's woman Wu Zetian. And if he only had political purposes, then the Changsun Queen would not trust Wu Zetian so much, but he did not. He continued to trust and continued to use it. He gave him everything he could give to Wu Zetian.

You should know that after Wu Meiniang entered the central palace, Li Zhi had almost no other women, and Li Zhi became more and more over-the-top. He gave him special favor and gave Wu Zetian power, even let her go together, even promoted her to the queen of heaven, and even allowed him to be called the two saints together in charge of the world.

This is love... But Wu Zetian did not cherish it. Li Zhi and Wu Mei worked together to defeat Changsun Wuji and regain power.

However, it was only more than a year before he could carefully taste the taste of taking over the court, the greatest misfortune in his life came to him without saying anything.

He is sick.

What made Li Zhi feel painful was that this was not an ordinary cold or fever, but a very serious wind disease.

The so-called wind disease is what is commonly known as stroke, which is a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and is also a family genetic disease of the Li Tang royal family. The main cause of the death of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was this wind disease.

Wind disease is a chronic disease that is basically impossible to cure. It can only be treated with long-term medication. Moreover, patients cannot be overworked and must be meticulous for many years of care.

This is undoubtedly a major blow to Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, who had just regained power and was determined to revive the court.

What made Li Zhi even more depressed was that as soon as he became ill, his symptoms seemed to appear more serious.

It is said in history that "wind is dizzy and heavy head, and the eyes cannot see", which means dizziness and headache. The qi and blood stasis in the brain compresses the visual nerves, which leads to severe vision decline and even intermittent blindness.

The year after the onset of the disease, Li Zhi was only 33 years old. He was originally an energetic age, but this damn genetic disease made him look 30 years old all of a sudden. Li Zhi was very distressed about this, but he was helpless.

Whenever all officials reported the matter, Li Zhi, who was unable to do so, had to let Empress Wu attend the court and assist him in ruling government affairs.

Her natural intelligence and quick response, combined with her profound literary and historical literacy, natural enthusiasm and high understanding of politics, all of this makes her seem calm and at ease when dealing with government affairs.

Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi was very satisfied with the queen's performance. From then on, Empress Wu began to naturally share the highest power of the empire with her husband.

It was from this moment that Li Zhi's power began to lose little by little.

Since suffering from wind disease, Emperor Gaozong's health has never improved, so the opportunity for Empress Wu to interfere in politics has increased, and her political ambitions have continued to expand.

Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi found sadly that Wu Mei, who "betrayed her body and endured humiliation and obeyed the will of the best" no longer existed, and was replaced by a woman with a desire for power from head to toe.

Not only did this woman no longer obey him and respect him, she instead undermined him step by step, and even surpassed him!

In addition to sadness, Li Zhi felt a strong anger.

Everything is exactly the same as Changsun Wuji back then.

No, it is even better than Changsun Wuji back then!

In this way, Emperor Gaozong's anger towards Empress Wu became stronger and stronger day by day.

Fortunately, Li Zhi in this space has his fifth brother, so Li You came forward and directly suppressed Wu Zetian. With Li You and Wu Zetian, what Li Zhi felt from Li You was that his fifth brother would be centered on himself no matter what he did.

No matter how powerful the power is, his fifth brother will not exceed the rules. After seeing through the false benevolence and righteous people in the court, Li Zhi still feels that his fifth brother is the person he cares most about in this world, so Li Zhi will unconditionally trust his fifth brother.

But now Wu Meiniang is about to die.

In an instant, Li Zhi remembered the poem: Seeing Zhu Chengbi's thoughts full of thoughts, haggard and fragmented, remembering you. I don't believe that I often cried and unboxed to check the pomegranate skirt.

The general meaning of the poem is: I am in a mess and in a trance, and I regard the red as green. Why am I so haggard? It is because I think of you all day long. If you don’t believe that I cry silently because I miss you every day, open the box and look at my red pomegranate skirt, which is covered with my mottled tears. This poem is written with sincerity. It is said that after the great poet Li Bai saw it, he couldn’t help but feel relieved.

And this poem was written by Wu Zetian to Li Zhi.

"Father, please see your mother..." At this time, Li Hong kowtowed down. After a while, Li Hong's head turned red. When Li Zhi saw Li Hong's appearance, he hurriedly walked down and helped Li Hong up.

"Father..." Li Hong cried heartbrokenly.

At this time, Li Zhi sighed helplessly and said, "Okay... I will see your mother for your sake, and go... to the cold palace!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Li Hong was very happy.

Soon, Li Zhi set up a cold palace and the news that the emperor was going to the cold palace soon reached Wu Meiniang's ears. Wu Meiniang was so happy at this time that his son was still powerful enough, so he invited the emperor. According to Wu Zetian's idea, as long as Li Zhi could come to the cold palace, Wu Zetian could come out again.

After a while, Li Zhi came to the cold palace. The so-called cold palace is not a cold palace. The concubine who was thrown into the cold palace was basically abandoned and lived in a fixed and remote place.

In the beautiful houses of the palace, in fact, most of the concubines in real history were living in remote palaces, and there was no fixed place. Wu Zetian's cold palace was not broken, but no one was approaching.

A sound of the emperor's arrival sounded, and Wu Zetian's mouth raised a curve slightly.
