Li Jue must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise my position as heir apparent will be in jeopardy!
But how do I kill him?
Why don't we ask Sister Wu?
The only person Li Zhi trusted was Wu Meiniang, but Wu Meiniang was disliked by the emperor because of the horse-taming incident, and she has been imprisoned in the Yeting Palace for several months now.
How can I meet Sister Wu?
Li Zhi pondered this in his heart, but still hadn't made up his mind even after returning to Chang'an. However, just as he parted ways with his father and returned to the Eastern Palace, he suddenly saw a note on his desk.
"At midnight tonight, the east gate of the Yeting Palace will be open!"
Li Zhi immediately recognized Wu Jie's handwriting and carefully tucked the note into his sleeve, then secretly looked forward to the arrival of night.
At midnight, at the east corner gate of the Yeting Palace.
Wu Zetian had already bribed the guards and walked out of the side gate wearing a black cloak. Just as she was looking around blankly, she saw a carriage slowly approaching. When the carriage stopped at her feet, she decisively boarded it.
"Child slave, save me!"
"Sister Wu, I'm barely able to protect myself right now!"
"Is it because of the eldest grandson?"
"yes!"
"Today, my father asked me if I could be buried in Jiuzong Mountain. It seems that my father no longer intends to pass the throne to me!"
Wu Meiniang nodded secretly upon hearing this. As long as the two of them shared a common crisis, she was not afraid that Li Zhi would not be willing to help her.
"Your Highness is absolutely right. My being neglected by His Majesty this time is also related to that grandson Li Jue!"
"If we can't get rid of this bastard, neither of us will have a good life!"
"May I ask, Sister Wu, how should we get rid of him?"
"Assassination, poisoning?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Meiniang immediately shook her head.
"no!"
"These methods are too risky. Even if they succeed, your life will be in danger!"
"Sister Wu, Changsun Dan gave me a suggestion: to use the power of the Silla people to incite them to assassinate Li Jue and then frame Goguryeo for it!"
Wu Meiniang sneered upon hearing this.
"This is not a method that Changsun Dan could have come up with; it is most likely a scheme devised by his father, Changsun Wuji!"
"This method is indeed good, but I'm afraid the Silla people won't fall for it!"
"After all, assassinating the prince is a major event, and the small kingdom of Silla probably cannot afford it!"
Li Zhi's eyes lit up with excitement when he heard this.
"Sister Wu is absolutely right. Changsun Dan originally planned to assassinate him today, but unexpectedly, things went wrong with the Silla people!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Meiniang waved her hand and said.
"Let's abandon this plan!"
"Let's start with His Majesty and make him dislike Li Jue..."
"How do we do it?"
"Do as I say..."
