This news spread before Wu Zetian could block it, and for a moment all court officials were raised. Everyone who knew the news knew that there would be great trouble in the court next.

Wu Zetian was furious, and she really couldn't accept it. Less than two months after Li Zhi's death, her youngest son Li Dan also passed away due to illness. She didn't believe that Li Dan passed away due to illness, so she summoned Chen Yi at the first time and interrogated him viciously.

"Chen Yi, tell me, is the death of the King of Xiang has something to do with you? Did you send someone to attack?" Wu Zetian's eyes flashed with a cold light that Chen Yi had never seen before, as if it could penetrate people's hearts!

Chen Yi was not surprised that Wu Zetian would ask this. When he heard that Li Dan died, he expected that Wu Zetian would ask this. He was already prepared. He looked at Wu Zetian with vicious eyes and replied without panic at all: "Greeting on the queen mother, this matter has nothing to do with me. The Queen Mother of the King of Xiang had told you a month ago to make the worst plan. In fact, I felt it was not very good at that time! The King of Xiang was in an emergency and the disease was dangerous. If it weren't for the special medicines provided by me, it might have been gone... Queen Mother, the King of Xiang is like this now, I can only express regret! In terms of disease treatment, it is often impossible to do it!"

Li Dan's death was indeed the cause of the disease, and Chen Yi dared to make a pity to the sky.

Now that Li Dan died of serious illness, he was suspected by Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian suspected that it was his tampering. Chen Yi was naturally full of grievances and told Wu Zetian many of the symptoms of Li Dan's illness in person, saying that he and the imperial physician had done their best to treat the King of Xiang. It was just that the King of Xiang had been too hard for the past few months, and his physical condition was not good, he could not afford to get sick, and suffered multiple infections. The best medicines did not work. This was the final result.

"Okay, I believe what you said!" Wu Zetian said in a faint tone, but his eyes revealed a coldness.

Chen Yi looked at Wu Zetian without any evasion, and said without fear: "Empress, I can swear to this matter. I have not done any measures to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is really seriously ill and died of illness. If the Queen does not believe it, someone can dissect the King of King's body and see if the organs in his body are poisoned or exhausted!"

Chen Yi's words made Wu Zetian angry and touched her, but it seemed that she believed what Chen Yi said in an instant, and did not ask anything more. She just said in a faint tone: "Zi Ying. I am not distrustful of you, but I am just sad that Yu Dan'er's sudden death from illness, and I feel a little confused in my heart. I just want to call you to ask. Since you said that, I believe what you said!"

Chen Yi wanted to explain something, but Wu Zetian waved his hand to let him retreat. Chen Yi felt uncomfortable after knowing that Wu Zetian lost her son. She would do this anyway. She no longer argued. When the gang invited Wu Zetian to make a fuss, she retreated. After returning, he also ordered his subordinates to take good care of themselves, and always monitor every move in Chang'an City, and tell him any movement. At the same time, he sent out most of his subordinates, as well as the people who had received from Murong Nuo Hobo and Princess Honghua, so as not to be caught off guard when he was in trouble.

If an extraordinary situation really occurs and the lives of his and his family are threatened, Chen Yi feels that he will probably take extraordinary measures and do something against the will of heaven!

Of course, Wu Zetian did not completely believe what Chen Yi said. Li Zhi, Li Hong and Li Xian's situation is enough to show that if Chen Yi wants to do something bad, it will make people unable to see the clues and cause a person to die. There will be no traces. She immediately sent someone to investigate the cause of Li Dan. Because she knew the methods and means of Chen Yi's use of medicine, Wu Zetian personally instructed the person who investigated the cause of Li Dan's death to investigate.

However, the results of the investigation made Wu Zetian feel helpless. Li Dan really died of serious illness and was unable to cure. There was no other abnormality.

The reason for his death is of course different from that of Li Hong and Li Xian. He died of severe failure of multiple organs in his body due to the virus affecting the heart. This is the conclusion that Wu Zetian personally selected several investigative officials to investigate the results. The result was like this. She had to accept it, but she still had a thorn in her heart, always suspected that Chen Yi had done something wrong in it. Due to Li Dan's death, the gap between the two further deepened.

However, because of the effects of those drugs with special effects, Wu Zetian still relies on Chen Yi emotionally. At least when the two of them were alone, Wu Zetian could get rid of all their worries and devote themselves to her. However, as she grew older, Wu Zetian's body inevitably aging and her attractiveness to Chen Yi greatly decreased. In addition, the gap between the two of them in the past two years, even if they had passionate behavior, their level of investment could not be compared with previous years. Of course, it was mainly because Chen Yi could not fully devote himself. Because Wu Zetian had no other lover, the only one who could relieve her body was Chen Yi. When the two had a secret love, they still asked for it to their hearts.

Li Dan's death eventually resulted in the execution of several imperial physicians who diagnosed and treated him, and the staff of many servants in the Prince's Mansion came to an end. However, many people understood that the aftermath of this matter was still unfinished, and there would definitely be some people involved in this matter in the future.

------------

Three months after Li Zhi's mourning period, the mourning was eliminated in the palace.

Because Qianling, like Zhaoling, built a mountain tomb and hollowed out Liangshan, the project was huge and took several years to build it. Therefore, a few years ago, when Li Zhi was in poor health, he did not start secret construction. Li Zhi died and could be buried.

After Li Zhi's body was buried, the mourning was removed from the palace. At this time, Li Dan had also been buried with his father, near Liangshan.

Wu Zetian also gave him a grand funeral to his youngest son. The cemetery was built very magnificently, and it was even famous for its tomb. It was actually the taste of a tomb. The court gave Li Dan the title of "Crown Prince Yide".

However, the posthumous title of "Crown Prince Yide" was proposed by Emperor Li Xian himself, and Wu Zetian had no objection to this.

It can also be said that when Li Xian ascended the throne and became the queen, the only thing he made the decision was to posthumously give to his younger brother.

He did this very wisely, at least he was recognized by most court officials. Of course, it was not Li Xian's decision alone, but he dared to make this decision after several people's influence.

Li Dan's death eliminated the biggest burden in Li Xian's heart. He couldn't worry much. When discussing things with his queen, his tone was different. Even many impulses that were deliberately suppressed were raised again, and he was a little ready to move.

Li Dan's death made Wei's mood relax several times, but this woman's mood was obviously much calmer than Li Xian. She also advised Li Xian from time to time to strive for stability in everything, not to be impatient, and to take everything slowly, so as not to encounter setbacks again.

Li Xian temporarily followed Wei's advice and continued to endure it.

After the mourning was eliminated in the palace, Wu Zetian was also freed from the mourning state.

Without Chen Yi's surprise, Wu Zetian immediately took a decisive move after taking down the mourning in the palace. She said that the emperor is not familiar with the court affairs and she would personally guide Li Xian to handle the court affairs. How to guide him? That is, all the memorials are handed over to her for review, and Li Xian reads them. After each memorial is reviewed, she will hand them over to Li Xian to read and explain in detail why this is done.

Of course, Li Xian could only agree timidly, saying that he would seriously learn how to deal with the affairs of the court, but he still did not dare to express his opinions. Li Xian had no opinions, and did not dare to review the memorials completely independently, and gave independent replies to the opinions of the court officials. Wu Zetian naturally handled all the affairs of the court on behalf of Li Xian.

The power in the hands of the six auxiliary ministers was greatly eliminated. It can be said that the situation in the court has returned to before Li Zhi's death, and there is not much difference. The only difference is that Li Xian is sitting in the court, not Wu Zetian behind the curtain.

Because Li Xian ascended the throne and became emperor, Wu Zetian no longer had the right to listen to the court behind the curtain, at least she had no reason to do this now.

After Wu Zetian formally administered the government, he immediately announced some measures he had formulated. Of course, these measures were issued to the world through the edict of Emperor Li Xian. The imperial edict issued by the court announced that the status of the royal family kings such as Li Yuanjia, the governor of Zezhou, Li Yuanying, and the governor of Liangzhou, Li Yuanying, were respected, and the three ministers were added to comfort him. Other royal family kings also had different levels of rewards.

After Xuan comforted the children of the royal family, the court sent General Wang Guo, General Ling Gu Zhitong, General Yang Xuanjian, General Yang Niu Gu, and General Guo Qizong of the Right Qianniu Guard to join the four major governors of Bingzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou, to guard the government and the elite troops organized were also on the highest alert state to avoid chaos after the death of the previous emperor and the emperor ascended the throne.

The garrisons in various places were at the highest alert state after Li Zhi died. After Wu Zetian intervened again, she only raised the security level a little and comforted the royal family.

At this time, there were many children of the royal family, including: King Han Li Yuanjia, King Teng Li Yuanying, King Huo Li Yuangui, King Lu Li Lingsu, King Yue Li Zhen, King Guo Li Feng, etc., with a total of nearly twenty. In the case of Li Shimin or Li Zhi ascended the throne, the children of the royal family had all acted indiscriminately. Wu Zetian naturally remembered the lessons of the past. In order to avoid chaos in the world, he first comforted these people and prepared to gradually reduce their real power and let them only hold idle positions with name.

This was what he followed Chen Yi's advice and took it as he had such concerns in his heart.

However, before Wu Zetian could breathe a sigh of relief, the court officials had not recovered from the confusion brought about by Wu Zetian's intervention in the government again.
