In fact, Li Zhi had a queen before she married Wu Meiniang, but the queen's personality and temper were completely different from Li Zhi's. Li Zhi himself is an indecisive person, but Queen Wang Can didn't help him solve the problem of Li Zhi. Besides, Queen Wang is too dignified, so it is difficult for her and Li Zhi to bring out the best in each other. At first, Li Zhi turned his attention to Xiao Shufei, because Xiao Shufei had a lively personality. Li Zhi can feel that his nature can be brought into play here in Xiao Shufei. However, apart from his lively personality, Xiao Shufei can't help Li Zhi politically, so it is inevitable that Li Zhi will get bored with Xiao Shufei for a long time.
At this moment, Wu Meiniang walked into Li Zhi's heart. When Wu Meiniang first entered the palace, he was just a little genius around Li Shimin. When Li Shimin was seriously ill, Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi served beside Li Shimin together, and they lived in harmony. After Li Shimin's death, Wu Meiniang was sent to Ganye Temple to become a monk. Although Li Zhi was reluctant to give up, he was still busy with the funeral of his late emperor. After he ascended the throne, there were many women around him, so he forgot about Wu Meiniang.
By chance, Li Zhi went to Ganye Temple to burn incense and met Wu Meiniang, and their feelings quickly warmed up. Queen Wang was not angry when she learned about it. She was eager to find someone to help her deal with Xiao Shufei, so at her mother's suggestion, she took Wu Meiniang to the palace. However, the Queen Wang never imagined that she would shoot herself in the foot. After Wu Meiniang gave birth to a child, her position in the palace rose, and then Wu Meiniang tricked Li Zhi into getting rid of the queen and Xiao Shufei. In fact, the reason why Li Zhi listened to Wu Meiniang was mainly because Wu Meiniang could help Li Zhi in life and politics, and Li Zhi was very dependent on Wu Meiniang, so he followed Wu Meiniang's advice and killed the Queen and Xiao Shufei.
