Li Zhi came to the back garden and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Where are the tulips that I have worked so hard and carefully to cultivate?

How come it has become like this.

"Ryan, tell me what's going on?"

Li Zhi grimaced and stared at the eunuch beside him, his eyes full of anger.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I don't know what the situation is. Is it... a flower-picking thief?"

Ruian was also stunned. He was fine yesterday, so how could he be like this today?

The most important thing is that Li Zhi sent people to take care of this place, and no one else can come. Why is it gone?

"The flower-picking thief? How dare you think about it? Let me find out who he is."

Li Zhi kicked Ruian. He was a flower-picking thief, not a master of flower-picking. The palace was heavily guarded, but it was so easy for someone to get in. He shouldn't be the emperor anymore.

Ruian nodded quickly and ordered someone to investigate the theft of the tulips.

When Wu Zetian came outside the Imperial Garden, she was stunned when she saw the tulips in a mess.

This Tulip Li Zhi is such a treasure, who is so bold as to dare to attack the emperor's heart?

"His Majesty."

"Meiniang is here."

Looking at Wu Zetian, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile sadly.

Everything he thought about was shattered. There were no flowers in front of the flowers and under the moon. What a big deal.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just wanted to give you a flower before the moon, but I didn't expect it to happen, haha."

Li Zhi shook his head, his eyes full of bitterness.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter. As long as your Majesty gives it, Mei Niang will like it."

Wu Meiniang comforted Li Zhi, and then pulled him to sit on the stone bench.

After sitting down, Li Zhi took out the jade bottle of perfume from his arms and said to Wu Zetian: "Mei Niang, this is a gift I carefully selected for you. I think only you are worthy of it."

As Li Zhi said this, he opened the perfume cap, and the fragrance of peonies poured out instantly.

Wu Zetian took a sniff and raised her eyebrows. The smell was so strong.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

"This is called perfume, let me help you."

Li Zhi smiled slightly, dropped some on Wu Zetian's hand, and gently helped her rub it away.

Wu Zetian looked at the focused Li Zhi and couldn't help but be fascinated.

"Meiniang, thank you for your gift."

Wu Zetian held the jade bottle of perfume in her hand, with red clouds flying on her face, looking shy. Under the moonlight, Li Zhi was also a little intoxicated.

"Mei Niang, how can there be no moon without wine? Have a taste of the fine wine I just got."

Opening the cap of the jade liquid bottle, the aroma of wine filled the air instantly. Wu Zetian was also excited when she smelled this smell. The aroma of wine was so strong that she had never seen it before.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Zhi helped the two of them pour a glass for each of them, and drank it all in one gulp after clinking the glasses.

"What a good wine. Compared with this wine, the treasures in the palace are like water. I don't know where your majesty got them."

After drinking a glass of wine, Wu Zetian experienced a feeling she had never experienced before. There was a hint of sweetness in the spiciness, and then there was the fragrance of grains. It was so delicious.

"Yes, this wine is really worthy of the name Yuye."

Li Zhi also laughed loudly, which made Wu Zetian satisfied, and the nine hundred guans were not wasted.

"His Majesty."

While Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were singing to the moon, Ruian slowly came over.

"The person who caused the tulips has been found, it's just...just..."

Ruian couldn't continue talking and looked at Li Zhi feeling depressed.

"Tell me, who dares to touch my tulips?"

When he heard that the murderer had been found, Li Zhi's anger suddenly rose.

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ruian was about to cry. After searching and searching, the crown prince was finally found. What the hell is this?

"Hong'er?"

"Prince?"

Li Zhi was dumbfounded and Wu Zetian was confused. How could it be his son?

Was it a mistake?

"That's right, even the prince, I didn't believe it at first. I only dared to report to His Majesty after asking for verification from many sources."

Ruian knelt directly in front of the two of them, not knowing what to do.

"Bring me that traitor. I want to see him immediately."

Li Zhi was angry, and the naughty child brought harm to him. This was a great shame, a great shame, and a great humiliation.

Ruian nodded, and immediately led people to the palace, and brought Li Hong, who had just fallen asleep, to Li Zhi.

Looking at the tulip massacre in front of him, Li Hong trembled for a while, trembling and said politely: "Father, the emperor, mother."

"Hong'er, my father asked you, did you make these tulips?" Li Zhi looked at Li Hong and asked him with a tigerish face.

"Father, it's not me, it's really not me."

Sure enough, when Li Zhi asked about Tulip, Li Hong shuddered and quickly denied it.

"Hong'er, come to your father."

"Father...Father, Hong'er is scared and I want to go to bed."

Li Hong realized something was wrong, so he turned around and ran away. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that Li Zhi would beat him to death.

"You little bastard, you still dare to run?"

Li Zhi grabbed Li Hong's clothes and lifted him up.

"Father, it's really not me."

"Even now, you still dare to speak harshly."

Seeing that the other party was still making excuses, Li Zhi instantly became furious.

He held Li Hong down with one hand and slapped the other person's buttocks with the other hand.

"Father, I was wrong. Stop fighting. It was Changsun Yan who asked me to do it."

"Father, Hong'er hurts."

Li Hong begged Li Zhi for mercy with tears in his eyes.

With Li Hong's appearance, Li Zhi's hand in the air also slowed down. After all, he was his own son. What if he was broken?

Seeing Li Zhi's soft heart, Li Hong's eyes showed a hint of pride.

My father is soft-hearted, so he can escape this disaster.

I'm so smart.

Just when Li Hong thought he was fine, his expression was all seen by Wu Zetian on the side.

"His Majesty."

Wu Zetian frowned and shouted.

"Mei Niang, don't stop me. You must let this bastard know what his mistake is today, otherwise he will dare to demolish my Tai Chi Palace."

Li Zhi glanced at Wu Zetian and told her not to protect Li Hong.

"Your Majesty, I think Hong'er is indeed too naughty. He should be educated properly, otherwise I will not dare to use this in the future."

Wu Zetian glanced at Li Hong, last time it was about Xuanhua Tower, this time it was about Imperial Garden, how could her son be played like a fool?

Thinking about her daughter Li Yanran, and then looking at Li Hong, Wu Zetian was so angry that she couldn't help but feel angry.

Looking at the wooden stick handed over by Wu Zetian, Li Zhi was dumbfounded, and Li Hong was also dumbfounded.

Mom, what are you doing?

Doesn’t it mean a loving mother and a strict father?

He has seen his strict father, but where is his loving mother?
