For seven or eight days, Li Zhen was busy with Di Renjie's funeral. As the son-in-law and the leading figure of the Di family, he had to take on more affairs. It was not until the first seven that he was freed from the complicated funeral affairs and took a long breath.

That morning, Li Zhen sat in a small temporary study room reading. Since the first seven years passed, they all removed their mourning clothes and gradually returned to normal life. During this period, Li Zhen took his family to live in Di Mansion, with an independent yard and two-story building. Although it was a little crowded than his home, it was the children's grandfather who passed away after all. No one complained about these inconveniences in life.

At this time, the door opened, and Di Yan walked in with a bowl of ginseng tea. Although they had removed the mourning clothes, they were still wearing plain clothes without any bright colors. The death of his father made Di Yan lose weight significantly, and his eyebrows were depressed, but her husband's efforts made her very grateful. In her opinion, her husband also lost a lot of weight.

"Husband, drink a bowl of ginseng tea!"

The tea bowl was a little hot, Di Yan quickly put the bowl on the table. She looked at the very narrow temporary study room again and said to Li Zhen apologetically: "It's really embarrassing you to stay in such a small place."

Li Zhen held her hand, pulled her into his arms, and smiled and said, "For me, the study room is just a place to rest, not to study and learn. It is useless to be such a big place. Besides, we will go home tomorrow, and work hard for the last night!"

Di Yan put her face on her husband's chest and whispered: "Thank you so much for these naive things."

"Don't say this, everyone is working hard. I think you work ten times harder than me. You are busy inside and out, and you also have to take care of the children."

"I didn't care much about the children. It was mainly because Qingyu was taking care of them. In fact, she was very tired, but she never complained and silently took responsibility. I owe her this time."

Speaking of this, Di Yan asked again with a smile: "Do you have to go to court tomorrow?"

"Yes! The first seventh is over. Today I have another day of rest. I should be busy tomorrow. There are a lot of things on the Qianqi Camp and I have to start a normal life."

At this time, the voice of his daughter Li Hui came from the room, "Is Dad here?"

Li Hui is six years old this year, very sensible and cute, and has always been Li Zhen's beloved. Di Yan quickly stood up from her husband and smiled at the door, "What did Huier ask for her father?"

"Mom is here too! Er Mom said there was something very important, and she asked her father to go to the inner hall. I saw Aunt Wang crying."

Li Zhen was stunned. The Aunt Wang mentioned by his daughter was Yao Xi's wife Wang, and Wang Qingyu's clan girl. Li Zhen felt something was wrong in his heart and quickly stood up and said, "Go and see!"

He and Di Yan quickly walked towards the inner hall. As soon as he reached the door of the inner hall, Wang Qingyu came up, pulled Li Zhen aside, and whispered: "Mr., what happened to Yao Xi?"

"What happened?" Li Zhen asked nervously.

"I heard from the clan girl that a poison was tested in the medicine that the emperor drank in the palace, and this medicine was tormented by Yao Xi himself. Now Yao Xi has been arrested and is ready to be severely punished."

Li Zhen immediately understood that it must be Zhang who was taking revenge on him. He first framed Yao Xi, and finally pointed the finger at him. They would definitely use torture to force Yao Xi to confess because they were instructed by him.

Li Zhen realized that the matter was serious, so he pondered for a moment and said to Wang Qingyu: "Please comfort your sister first, I'll find a way to save people."

He said to Di Yan again: "Live in Di Mansion for the time being, don't move back, it's safer here, so be vigilant."

Di Yan gritted her teeth in hatred and said, "As long as they dare to come, see how I kill them."

Li Zhen had no time to joke anymore, so he turned around and left Di's mansion, and ran to the imperial city with several personal soldiers. Soon, he came to Mingtang and came to Shangguan Wan'er's official room. He said to a eunuch at the door: "Report to Shangguan's servant for me and said I have something urgent to look for her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Wan'er's voice came from the room, "Come in! No need to inform me."

Li Zhen hurriedly walked into Shangguan Wan'er's official room. Shangguan Wan'er seemed to know that he was coming, and pointed to the seat next to her with the pen in her hand, "Please sit down!"

As time passed, their relationship had long been as dull as water. Shangguan Wan'er had never considered taking Li Zhen for herself, and Li Zhen no longer relied on Shangguan Wan'er. However, this time, Li Zhen did come to Shangguan Wan'er for help. Although Princess Taiping could also help, Li Zhen knew that if he found Princess Taiping, things would get worse.

? Guan Wan'er put down her pen and smiled calmly: "You are here for Yao Xi!"

"Sheren already knows?"

"How could I not know? The palace has been confused about this matter and said that as long as two accomplices are confessed, they can be exempted from crime. As a result, these eunuchs and palace maids who are ignorant of the world are biting people. Now at least no less than a hundred people have been arrested."

"How is Yao Xi?"

"He was locked in the black prison of the Escort Province, and he probably wouldn't have a better life."

Li Zhen said coldly: "This is Er Zhang taking revenge on me!"

"revenge?"

Shangguan Wan'er snorted disdainfully, "You beat Zhang Changyi so badly, do you think they will not take revenge? I tell you that they not only want to revenge you, but also want to kill you. Once the charge of regicide is put on, your whole family will not be able to escape this disaster. Li Zhen, you are already on the edge of the cliff."

Li Zhen was speechless. He knew that Shangguan Wan'er was telling the truth. When Di Renjie passed away, he was already incompatible with Er Zhang. If Er Zhang did not kill him, he would definitely kill Er Zhang in the future. He was busy with Di Renjie's funeral these days and did not care about this matter, but the storm came quietly.

"Does the servant think the emperor will kill me?" Li Zhen asked again after a moment of silence.

"It's hard to say that the emperor's mind is ever-changing. Sometimes she will cover up you and scold Er Zhang for you, but sometimes she will listen to whatever Er Zhang says. It's so confused that it's incredible. It depends on your luck, but... Judging from the current situation, your luck may not be very good this time."

"Can you help me this time?" Li Zhen asked again.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at him quietly for a moment, with a smile on her face, and asked bluntly: "If I say I want to go to bed as a condition, would you agree?"

Li Zhen was speechless for a while, and finally shook his head. Shangguan Wan'er's face immediately became gloomy and said coldly: "I know you won't agree, but if I help you, what's the benefit of me?"

Li Zhen replied calmly: "I will save my life at the critical moment. I mean some time in the future."

Shangguan Wan'er laughed, shook her head and said, "It's too empty, I can't accept it!"

"What do you want?"

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes showed a hint of sadness and she whispered: "Actually, I just want to relive my old dream with you, but I don't want to force you, okay! I will help you this time, don't have any conditions, after all, you saved my life back then."

Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "No matter whether you want to accept it or not, I will not leave you behind in the future. I am a nostalgic person. I will repay you for the kindness my lover has given me back then."

After saying that, Li Zhen stood up and bowed, turned around and left quickly. Shangguan Wan'er looked at his departure back, and the sadness in her eyes became even stronger. After a while, she whispered to herself, "I have not been born, but I am old when you are born."

Although Shangguan Wan'er promised to help Li Zhen help him this time, she did not expect that as the impact of Di Renjie's death gradually weakened, the emperor's severe punishment for the Zhang brothers became increasingly weak, and he favored the Zhang brothers as much as before, so Li Zhen was very sad this time.

The key is Yao Xi. Can he withstand the torture of Emperor Wu Yizong, but what if he resists it? Emperor Wu Yizong easily asked him to put his handprints on his seal, so letting Yao Xi get rid of his crime is the top priority. Shangguan Wan'er thought about it and decided to talk to the emperor.

The death of Di Renjie made Wu Zetian feel guilty and dissatisfied with Zhang Changzong. However, a few days later, because Zhang Changzong was more obedient, Wu Zetian was furious. She favored Zhang Changzong as usual. Even Zhang Changzong refused to worship Di Renjie. Wu Zetian finally accommodated him and no longer forced him.

The poisoning case in the palace this time made Wu Zetian extremely angry and issued a strict investigation, so that the palace was in chaos and she did not give in. Even if she killed hundreds of people, she would find the murderer behind the scenes.

In the bedroom, the eunuch Xia Zhongzheng carefully reported the progress of the poisoning case to Wu Zetian.

"Your Majesty, you have basically confirmed that the imperial physician Yao Xi is the biggest suspect in poisoning, and it is said that he has admitted to poisoning and only wants to die."

"Is it Doctor Yao?"

Wu Zetian frowned. She liked the massage Yao Xi gave her the most. The accuracy of the acupoints and the strength was neither light nor heavy. Every time she finished the massage, it made her feel relaxed. His skills were no less than Shen Nanmiao back then. When she heard that Yao Xi was poisoning, she immediately felt a little uncomfortable. If Yao Xi had it, who would massage her in the future?

And... if he wants to kill himself, it will be easy. Is it necessary to poison him?

"Can it be sure it's him?" Wu Zetian asked with some displeasure.

Xia Zhong was extremely slick. He would never take the matter to himself. He hurriedly said: "The old slave just asked the Prince of Hanoi who was in charge of the case. He said that Doctor Yao had pleaded guilty."

"Is it a slander?" Wu Zetian said coldly. She knew very well that Wu Yizong's methods were even better than Lai Junchen back then.

"I really don't know how to investigate this case."

"Go and find Wu Yizong for me!"

"Yes, I obey the order!" Xia Zhong ran towards Yingtianmen in a panic.

At this time, Shangguan Wan'er quietly appeared beside Wu Zetian. This was her privilege. Seeing that Wu Zetian didn't need any report, she had always been like this for decades, she asked softly: "Are your Majesty still angry about the poisoning case?"

Wu Zetian nodded in depressed mood, "I just received the report from General Manager Xia. It was actually poisoned by Doctor Yao. "

Shangguan Wan'er was secretly happy. She knew the emperor very well. As long as the emperor was confused, there would be hope for this matter to be resolved. She pretended to be surprised and said, "No! How could it be Doctor Yao? Is it necessary for him to poison?"

"I also feel very confused. He can contact me the closest to me. If he wants to harm me, he can do it with his eyes closed. If I can't even trust the imperial doctor, who else can I believe? But he has admitted it, which makes me feel very difficult."
