In the study of Prince Liang's mansion, Li Yan was lying on the chair with a frown. Since Wu Meiniang and the others left, he had been in this position and was considering ways to stop Wu Meiniang from entering the palace. However, after thinking about it, there was no practical solution.

Li Yan even thought about assassination, which was a simple and effective solution. However, for some reason, whenever Li Yan thought of the little girl who combed his hair that day, he was a little repulsive of this simple and effective method. It would be fine if he didn't know him before. Thinking about Wu Zetian in history, he could do it with great since he was a little scheming girl. He even sacrificed everything for his mother and young sister.

When Li Yan thought of attacking this admirable little girl, he was instinctively repelled. Whether you say he was merciful or polite, he was the kindness in nature, but Li Yan couldn't do it anyway.

But since he couldn't kill, Li Yan couldn't think of any effective way. Could it be that he just let Wu Meiniang enter the palace? Although after Wu Meiniang entered the palace, with his familiarity with Wu Meiniang's process of ascending power, he did have many opportunities to penetrate Wu Meiniang into the abyss, but don't forget that there is another saying in this world, which is called "unpredictable in the world, especially the other party is still in the deep palace. No matter how powerful Li Yan is, his influence on the palace is extremely limited, unless...

Li Yan stood up in a chair and walked back and forth in the study several times. His face was very entangled. He thought of a way that could definitely stop Wu Zetian from taking office, but if this method was used, his fate would also turn to an unknown path.

This method is actually very simple, that is, Li Yan ascends the throne himself. As long as he ascends the throne, of course, Wu Zhou will not be reappeared, and the Li royal family will avoid that catastrophe. However, when he thinks of the lofty throne, Li Yan feels first not excitement, but a deep fear, for the supreme position. There are many tragedies in history of father, son, brother, and husband and wife who have been killed? Not to mention it, Li Shimin relied on a Xuanwu Gate Incident, killing his brother, killing his brother and imprisoning his father, and finally took up the throne. With his example, Li Yan's current brothers are not a good deal of fuel. Next, there will be Li You rebellion, Li Chengqian rebellion, and Li Tai will even say the lies of "killing his son and passing his brothers" for the position of prince.

Sequels of tragedy flashed in front of Li Yan's eyes, and countless family affections were trampled under his feet. Li Yan asked himself that he was a person who valued feelings very much. If he had to choose to sit on the throne, but had to abandon all the family affections, love, and even friendships around him, Li Yan felt that he would not have made such a cruel and ruthless decision.

"For a mere Wu Meiniang, it seems that it is not worth my sacrifice?" Li Yan, who was walking back and forth, suddenly stopped and lowered his head and said to himself. Perhaps it was because he was making excuses for himself. Li Yan, who said this, immediately felt much more relaxed on the surface. It would be fine if he could not stop Wu Meiniang from entering the palace this time. At worst, he could find a way in the future. Anyway, as long as nothing unexpected happens, his father Li Shimin will have more than ten years of good life.

"Your Highness, Wen'er has something to report!" At this moment, Wen'er's voice suddenly came from outside the door. After seeing Li Yan in thought, she and Hua'er immediately took the initiative to retreat because they knew that Li Yan did not like to be disturbed by others when considering the problem.

"Well, what's the matter?" Li Yan frowned. Wen'er knew that she didn't like being disturbed when she was thinking, but now she interrupted herself. Obviously, something very important was there.

"Your Highness, Mr. Wang insists on seeing you, saying that there is something important to report. No matter how I persuade you, it is useless. Sister Xijun is not here, so I can only come and ask for instructions." Wen'er replied helplessly. It would be fine if it were other people, but the other party was Wang Zihao, whom His Highness valued very much, and was also Sister Xijun's father. He didn't say anything about him, but he just said that he would report to Your Highness in person.

"Oh? It's so late, what's going on with Zihao?" Li Yan said to himself in confusion, "Wen'er, please invite him to the study room!" Now it was completely dark and the wind was getting up. Li Yan was lazy to change his clothes, so he ordered.

Wen'er agreed outside and went to invite Wang Zihao over. After waiting for a while, the footsteps of the two of them came from outside. Then as soon as the door opened, Wang Zihao, wearing a thin leather robe, walked in. When he saw Li Yan, he immediately saluted: "Zihao has seen Your Highness!"

"Zihao is free, sit down!" Li Yan, who had already sat down again, smiled and reached out to ask him to sit down.

"Thank you Your Highness!" Wang Zihao also knew that Li Yan had a casual personality, and now he let go of him in front of Li Yan.

"It's so late, Zihao even made a special trip. What's so important?" Li Yan asked strangely.

"This..." Wang Zihao looked at Wen'er behind Li Yan, and seemed to not want others to be present.

"Your Highness, my maid is guarding outside and will not let others get close to you!" Wen'er was also very smart. When she saw Wang Zihao's eyes, she immediately took the initiative. Li Yan nodded and watched Wen'er go out to bring the door with her. Then she turned to look at Wang Zihao.

Seeing Wen'er go out and hearing footsteps outside walk into the distance, Wang Zihao suddenly stood up, stepped forward a few steps and knelt on the ground, whispering in a serious face: "Your Highness, the next words of my subordinates involve Princess Liang, so I would like to ask Your Highness to forgive me!"

Li Yan was startled by Wang Zihao's actions, but when he heard his words, he was stunned. Princess Liang? Isn't that Xiao Wenxin whom he is about to marry? Wang Zihao and she are just two people who can't fight together even if they are eight. What will involve Xiao Wenxin?

"If you have something to say, don't you know my temper?" Li Yan said in a deep voice. Although he could not guess what was going on, from Wang Zihao's expression and tone, Li Yan suddenly felt that what the other party was going to say was definitely not a simple thing.

"Your Highness, this matter..." Wang Zihao certainly knew Li Yan's temper, but this fact was too serious, and he didn't know what Li Yan would react after he knew about this matter. Therefore, he was still a little worried.

"Zihao, you are my most trusted subordinate. Do you have to think about it even if you talk to me?" Li Yan's face darkened and he said with some displeasure.

When Wang Zihao heard the words "most trust", his face changed slightly and said with shame: "Your Highness, this matter is related to the life experience of Princess Liang, so his subordinates are so cautious. I hope your highness forgives his crime!"

"Wenxin's life experience? What does it mean?" Li Yan was shocked. He thought it was a business matter, but he never expected that Wang Zihao would say this.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have received reliable information in the past two days. Princess Liang should not be the biological granddaughter of Duke Song, nor the biological daughter of the second son Xiao Cuo Xiao!" When Wang Zihao said this, his hand hidden in his sleeve gently touched a jasper ring on his left hand.

"What~" Li Yan screamed in shock, stepped forward and grabbed Wang Zihao's collar with an incredible expression on his face. Looking at Li Yan's vicious gaze, Wang Zihao seemed extremely calm and looked at Li Yan calmly.

"Are you sure?" Li Yan asked, squeezed out three words from his throat.

"Your Highness, although I don't know the true origin of Miss Xiao, I am very sure that she is not the biological granddaughter of Duke Song. I have a file from more than ten years ago in my hand, which clearly records this incident. Unfortunately, I discovered it by chance today." Wang Zihao said at the end, his face was a little regretful.

Hearing Wang Zihao's words, Li Yan suddenly calmed down, let go of his collar with his hands, and took a few steps away, but his eyes were still staring at the other party. After a while, he asked calmly: "Zihao, who are you? How could you know such a secret thing? And what is the file you mentioned?"

Although Li Yan was very calm on the surface, his mind was almost crazy. It would be fine if Wu Meiniang entered the palace and couldn't stop him. Now he heard that Xiao Wenxin, who was about to marry, was not Xiao Yu's biological granddaughter, and seeing Wang Zihao's appearance, he didn't seem to be lying. If this matter was true, then did Xiao Yu know about this? If he knew, then what was his purpose of marrying Xiao Wenxin to him? If he didn't know, then who was Xiao Wenxin's father? And Wang Zihao, a mere businessman, knew such a secret matter? I guess even my father, Li Shimin, wouldn't have agreed to marry Xiao Wenxin of unknown origin to him...

One by one, a few questions hovered in Li Yan's mind, making him feel like he was almost collapsed, but he also knew that the key to all these problems was Wang Zihao, so he pretended to be calm and asked.

"Your Highness, do you really don't know?" Wang Zihao did not answer Li Yan's question directly, but raised his hand with a smile, as if he was inadvertently revealing the jasper ring on his hand, just for Li Yan to see...

Wen'er outside the study room had been waiting for a long time. The cold wind in October was already quite fierce. Her little face and limbs quickly lost consciousness. However, she knew that His Highness and Mr. Wang were discussing very important matters, so she kept guarding outside the door and did not dare to disturb her. She waited until the third day, and Li Yan walked out of the study room with Wang Zihao, but at this time Li Yan looked relaxed, while Wang Zihao's expression seemed even more respectful.

"Zihao, I already know what you said, but I hope no third person will know except you and me!" Li Yan had a smile on his face, but the tone in his words was very firm.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have destroyed the files, and there will definitely be no third person to know." Wang Zihao bowed and replied.

"Well, okay, you can have someone do the thing I told you. If it is done well, I will have something very important to you in the future!" Li Yan glanced at Wang Zihao. If he was really trustworthy and the secrets he just said were true, then he would have a good helper in the future. With this helper, his troubles today seemed to be impossible to solve?!~!
