"good!"

Li Zhi immediately began copying it down, but when it came to Li Zhong's birthday, his pen involuntarily stopped.

"Born in the twelfth year of the Zhenguan era?"

"Li Jue was also born in the twelfth year of the Zhenguan era, right?"

Wu Meiniang waited at Ganlu Gate for a long time, and was getting impatient, before she finally saw Li Zhi appear in her line of sight.

"How about it?"

"Have you checked that person's file?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi immediately handed the copied file to Wu Zetian, who was stunned upon taking a look.

"Isn't His Majesty's reward for this person far too generous?"

"They actually bestowed all of Princess Changsha's properties in Xianyang upon this person."

Li Zhi, hearing this, gave a helpless reminder.

"Sister Wu, don't rush to look at the reward list, let's check this person's age first!"

"ah!"

Is this person only eight years old?

Born in the twelfth year of the Zhenguan era?

Li Zhi nodded heavily upon hearing this.

"Sister Wu, you might be right. This person really could be the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty—Li Jue!"

"oh?"

"Sister Wu may not know, but Li Jue was also born in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, which matches this Li Zhong perfectly."

"Moreover, the character '冢' (zhǒng) also has a story behind it."

"In his early years, Father often said that the eldest son of the Crown Prince was the legitimate heir of the Li family, thereby indicating that he had no intention of deposing the eldest son in favor of the younger one."

"This person is named Li Zhong, and it's highly likely that he's related to this statement!"

"this……"

Wu Meiniang was also surprised to hear this, after all, she had only guessed at first and did not know so much inside information.

"Your Highness, you are in danger!"

"Although I do not know Your Majesty's exact thoughts, I can tell from Your Majesty's frequent visits to Xianyang that Your Majesty is very fond of this child!"

"Moreover, this child is not much older than you, and you are only a few years older than him. Once this child gains His Majesty's favor, he could very well threaten your position as crown prince!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi panicked immediately and grabbed Wu Jie's hand without regard for his status.

"Sister Wu, save me!"

"I absolutely cannot be crippled! If I'm crippled, I'll only have one way out: death! Waaaaah!"

Wu Meiniang was also flustered when she heard this.

"How...how can I help you..."

"I am but a lowly concubine, and His Majesty has not favored me for many days..."

"No, no, no, Sister Wu is so smart, she'll definitely have a way!"

After Li Zhi reminded her like this, Wu Zetian realized that she still had a brain, and a very intelligent one at that.

"Wait a minute, let me think..."

After some thought, Wu Zetian actually came up with a solution.

"I've got it!"

"His Majesty is most concerned about Princess Jinyang's illness. If you can gather all the best doctors in the country to Chang'an and let them treat Princess Jinyang, His Majesty will surely be delighted!"

"this……"

Li Zhi looked bitter upon hearing this, for he knew all the efforts his father had made over the years to cure Si Zi's illness.

"Sister Wu, you don't know, but Father Emperor has already invited renowned doctors from all over the country..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zetian kicked Li Zhi in exasperation.

"Are you stupid?!"

“Your father is your father, and you are you. You are Princess Jinyang’s brother. It is only natural and humane for an older brother to care for his younger sister!”

"Moreover, this matter is not about treating illness, but about caring for one's brothers!"

"Even if you can't cure Sizi, at least you've proven to His Majesty that you, as her older brother, still care about your sister..."

Li Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"I see!"

"Whether it can be cured or not is not important; what matters most is my attitude towards Sizi!"

Wu Meiniang smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.

"That's right!"

"As long as you show your concern for Princess Jinyang, His Majesty will surely be very pleased!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Sister Wu. I will immediately order someone to issue a notice to the Crown Prince's Sect and summon renowned physicians from all over the country to the capital to treat Si Zi's illness!"
