"Thank you, Master, for help." Wu Meiniang knelt on the ground and learned that it was the master who took action this time and cured Li Chunfeng, which allowed her to escape from the West Palace. She was extremely grateful.

Lin Yi chuckled and said, "I didn't help much, it was all good things your master did."

Wu Meiniang looked at her master with even more gratitude. In her heart, the master who taught her since childhood was no different from her relatives.

Ning Keke snorted and said, "Then Li Chunfeng is not an honest person. He deserves to be accused of 'defeating Empress Changsun' and ending up like this."

Wu Meiniang was silent. Although she had gained freedom, after this incident, she realized that it was not enough to be just the emperor's favor. Because in one sentence, did Li Chunfeng lock her up in the West Palace?

Ning Keke suddenly asked, "Mei Niang, do you know what the women in the palace need most now?"

Wu Meiniang was even more silent. If it were before, she would naturally answer that the women in the palace needed the most was the "imperial favor", but now the views have changed. Despite this, she still didn't understand what the women in the palace needed the most?

Lin Yi and Ning Keke didn't understand all this. Wu Meiniang needed to understand it herself. In the future, she would eventually become the Empress Wu Zetian.

In this palace, whether it is a man or a woman, what she needs most is naturally power and supreme power. However, most women dare not covet the supreme imperial power. However, Wu Meiniang and Wu Zetian dared.

Wu Meiniang is worthy of being Ning Keke's apprentice since childhood. Gradually, she understood what women in the palace needed the most. Her ambition also began to emerge...

Although she has ambition, it is hard for a woman to get the supreme power. Not to mention her, she is as noble as the crown prince Li Chengqian, because she covets that supreme power, she will end up in a miserable end?

Thanks to Ning Keke's teachings, Wu Meiniang is also an actionist. Since she has this idea, she naturally needs to start implementing it. Although it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, she has to give it a try after all, right?

Finally, she set her sight on King Li Zhi of Jin.

Since she entered the palace and met King Li Zhi by chance, she has had a good relationship over the years. She is now a veteran, so how can she not understand that Li Zhi, a young man, has a different relationship with herself?

Wu Meiniang had a bold idea, which was to invest her future in Li Zhi... As Li Shimin's woman, her idea was unethical and bold.

But because of the West Palace incident, Wu Meiniang no longer had a girlish love fantasy about Li Shimin. She was a bold man, so she made this decision secretly.

But investing her future in Li Zhi also requires step by step. First, it is to help Li Zhi ascend the throne and wait a hundred years later to inherit the throne.

After the death of Crown Prince Li Chengqian, the most popular person for the position of Crown Prince Li Tai is King Wei.

Li Tai is Li Shimin's fourth son and the second son of Empress Changsun.

As the second son of Empress Changsun of the "Guanyin Maid", Li Shimin was very fond of him, even more favored than Prince Chengqian. He was the most favored kings.

King Li Tai of Wei was in charge of the military commander of Xiangzhou, Wei, Li, Wei, Ming, Xing and Bei. However, Li Shimin was reluctant to leave his beloved son to leave his fiefdom, but even issued an edict at one time, wanting his beloved son to move into the Wude Hall to live.

Emperor Taizong of Tang favored Li Tai in every way and often took him around for pleasure. Even if he didn't see him in just one day, he would send a white falcon named "General" he raised to deliver the letter. The wild geese traveled back and forth several times within a day.

As we all know, Li Tai is "large waist and abdomen" and is a fat man. However, when Li Shimin saw his beloved son's round appearance, he was not worried that if he was too fat, it would affect his figure. Instead, he felt that his son would have to work hard when he went to court like this. In his heart, he was particularly allowed to take a sedan chair to the court. Such favor was almost unprecedented.

There was even one time when someone reported to Li Shimin that the ministers of the third rank and above in the court, such as Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, etc., did not respect Li Tai enough and took the opportunity to slander them.

When Li Shimin heard that his beloved son was wronged, he was furious and immediately summoned the ministers to the palace to question him harshly. Fang Xuanling and others were so scared that they dared not speak. Only Wei Zheng stubbornly argued with reason. In the end, Li Shimin admitted that he had indeed forgotten his public love because of his personal love.

Even Li Tai's eldest son Li Xin was loved by Li Shimin because of his father. He was taken to the palace to raise when he was four years old. As the saying goes, like a father, like a son. Li Xin was very well-behaved and clever at a young age. Empress Changsun once asked him that he had just come here to live, but he immediately put his hands on his back and said, "I am very happy that my grandson is lucky to live in the palace."

Empress Changsun was both surprised and happy when she heard this. Not only did she personally named him "Xin", but she also raised her grandson like her own son. As a result, Li Xin was able to often play with her uncle Li Zhi, who was about the same age. The relationship between the uncle and nephew was extraordinary.

Emperor Taizong of Tang's favor for Li Tai, which was beyond the etiquette, surprised the civil and military officials of the court. Therefore, after Prince Li Chengqian was demoted, the call for King Li Tai of Wei ascended the position of crown prince was also the highest.

However, Wu Meiniang and King Li Tai of Wei are not on the same boat at all. Once Li Shimin becomes the throne a hundred years later, Li Tai ascends the throne, and her life in the palace will be over.

Wu Meiniang knew very well that even if she gave birth to a child for Li Shimin, the child would not be able to ascend the throne in the future.

The only ones Li Shimin loved were Empress Changsun, the three sons left by the "Guanyin Maid". Crown Prince Li Chengqian, King Wei Li Tai, and King Jin Li Zhi.

Therefore, after the prince Chengqian committed a crime of corruption, he was just demoted to a commoner and did not die. This is true for King Li Tai of Wei to be so favored. The former King of Jin Li Zhi suddenly became ill, and Li Shimin was so anxious.

Only the three sons left by Empress Changsun were regarded by Li Shimin as their true heirs. Even if Wu Meiniang gave birth to children for Li Shimin, it was useless.

What's more, the elder brother of Empress Changsun, Changsun Wuji, was the prime minister of the current dynasty and had great power. Changsun Wuji would only support his nephew and ascend the throne. The sons of the other concubines were useless after all.
