Chapter 53: Lives Threatened

Wu Mei didn't know why he was depressed, so she had to write on her own: If Li Chunfeng wins the bet with Yuan Tiangang, in addition to being the number one in the world, he can also get the blessings of the emperor and the empress for him and Tang Ying. If you lose, you will never be allowed to set foot in Chang'an, and you will only write a product of official surrender and still occupy your original position.

Regarding Li Chunfeng's negative attitude, this decision can really be regarded as inclusive, which can fully reflect Wu Mei's determination to reuse him. However, Li Chunfeng did not have the slightest desire to defeat Yuan Tiangang, but was a little yearning for leaving Chang'an.

He thought that Tang Ying was only seventeen years old, and if he didn't have him, he could have found another son-in-law. So he took the holy decree, didn't look at it, and only begged Wu Mei: "Can the queen give me that hosta?" Wu Mei hurriedly sent someone to send it to him. He took it and rubbed it carefully. That's right, this hairpin is indeed the one she wears most often.

He carefully received the hairpin in his arms, and saluted again: "Please take care of her." As he spoke, he walked out of the hall.

Wu Mei couldn't bear it when she saw him look so depressed. She stopped Li Chunfeng, "You set off a week later than Yuan Tiangang, and you are already at a disadvantage, I can tell you which direction he is going, so you ......"

Li Chunfeng turned around abruptly and interrupted her with half anger: "Who does the queen think of me?" ”

Wu Mei was silent, watching him walk out of the Manna Hall quickly, and for some reason she was a little reluctant.

When Li Chunfeng left the Taiji Palace, Tang Ying finally set off from Xishan to return to the palace. If Li Chunfeng comes back directly, the two may still meet on the road. It's a pity that Li Chunfeng thought that he didn't know when he would leave Chang'an and whether he could come back, so he came to his place of work and explained the work to his colleagues.

No one thought that Li Taishi would probably not come back, they just thought that he was an old fool, and they were all kind and perfunctory and didn't take it seriously.

By the time he left Chang'an City, it was already dusk. Tang Ying had already returned to Zhaoqing Palace.

Wu Mei hoped that Tang Ying could persuade Li Chunfeng, and finally decided to have a showdown with her, so as soon as she came back, she was called to the Manna Hall by the palace maid. Tang Ying knew that Wu Mei was in a hurry to summon him, and he didn't care about being frustrated, so he immediately got up and rushed over.

Wait for the two to meet. Wu Mei first asked her to sit down, and then said straight to the point: "Shadow." I called Li Chunfeng and Li Taishi into the palace to meet today, do you know what is going on? ”

Tang Ying was shocked, and his face turned red suddenly.

Wu Mei looked at her appearance and was a little more sure in her heart, so she patted her shoulder with a pleasant face and said, "Don't worry, I already know about you and Li Taishi." ”

Tang Ying also pretended to be stupid and said, "I...... How could we ......"

Wu Mei smiled and shook her head, "Ying'er, do you know that I also have my own intelligence network. Li Chunfeng originally predicted the prophecy of 'Heroine Chang', how could I let it go? So whether it's him or Yuan Tiangang, I've sent someone to monitor it. ”

Tang Ying's face turned even redder, she wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only pull her skirt in a tangled way. Wu Mei said again: "Considering his specialness, it's understandable that you don't tell me." If it weren't for Helan Minzhi coming to me to make trouble some time ago, I wouldn't be ready to find out from you. ”

"What is Helan Minzhi looking for you?" Tang Ying shouted. She felt that it must be nothing good to have something to do with Helan Minzhi.

Wu Mei told Helan Minzhi everything she had told her, and at the same time, she also implied that with Helan Minzhi's ability, it was impossible to know so many things. Only friends who have been with Li Chunfeng for many years can know the details of his cultivation. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she believed that Tang Ying could already think of Yuan Tiangang.

Tang Ying thought that Wu Mei was looking for her about this matter, so she immediately knelt on her knees and said sincerely: "Mei Niang." While you may not be able to understand our year-old romance, I don't want to explain it too much. For so many years, I have never begged you for anything, I just ask you not to blame Li Chunfeng. I swear to God, we don't have the slightest idea against you. Even if Li Chunfeng was still prejudiced against you before, it has changed in recent years. For our sake, do not chastise him. ”

Wu Mei hurriedly picked her up, and said a little angrily: "Who do you think of me as?" Hurry up, you and I are sisters who are married to Jinlan, let's talk about sharing joys and sorrows. What's more, I can't see the change in Li Taishi's attitude? Rest assured, I have absolutely no intention of holding you accountable. On the other hand, if you had told me earlier, I might have thought of a way for you to stay together! ”

Tang Ying burst into tears with excitement when she heard this, "Really? Mei Niang, do you agree with us being together? ”

Wu Mei blinked, "Of course, what's wrong with this?" But don't tell the emperor yet, I'm afraid he will find it difficult to accept. ”

"Hmmm! I would never tell him. Tang Ying was so happy that he didn't know what to say, "Ah! Mei Niang, I'm so happy, did you call me here to talk about this? ”

Wu Mei's smile slowly faded, she squeezed Tang Ying's hand and said, "This is just one of them, and there is another tricky one." ”

Then, she told Yuan Tiangang's proposal to compete with Li Chunfeng to find a mausoleum site, Li Chunfeng first refused and then inexplicably agreed. In this matter, she did not add the slightest amount of oil and vinegar, and she said to Tang Ying: "I originally wanted to call you, but who knew that you were not in the palace." ”

Tang Ying nodded slowly while thinking, "You guessed right, I went out to find him." We had a fight the other day and thought we should go back today. ”

"Quarrel?" Wu Mei thought of Li Chunfeng's appearance when she heard that Tang Ying was not there, and asked thoughtfully: "Ying'er, is your quarrel very serious?" After he heard that you were gone, he was silent for a long time, and he walked away from me about your hosta. Then he changed his previous attitude of refusal and agreed to Yuan Tiangang's challenge. However, it doesn't seem to be actively responding......"

Tang Ying stood up anxiously and urged: "Then, tell me what he said?" ”

Wu Mei recalled: "He asked me to take good care of you. Ah, I just now understand what that means! ”

Tang Ying shook his arm and said, "Say it quickly, say it quickly!" ”

Wu Mei frowned, stared at her and said, "If I guess correctly, he is very likely to voluntarily lose the game and leave Chang'an from now on." ”

Tang Ying stomped his feet, "You, how can you let him open such conditions?" ”

Wu Mei hurriedly said: "I only said that the official surrendered to a product, but I didn't mention the matter of leaving Chang'an." That's his own wish! Otherwise, I guess you're arguing badly. Tell me what you're fighting about. ”

Tang Ying was a little masterless, she wiped her tears and said, "It's not because of that Yuan Tiangang......"

Before she could say a word, Wang Fusheng's voice suddenly came from outside the hall, "Yu Niangniang, it's not good, it's not good!" The emperor is not good! ”

Wu Mei was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly walked to the door and asked loudly, "What's wrong?" Hurry up! ”

Tang Ying also hurriedly wiped away his tears and followed him. He breathlessly said, "Go back to ...... Back to the mother. After dinner today, the emperor suddenly screamed, 'It's cold, it's cold' and collapsed to the ground. I ordered him to be carried to the bed and covered with a quilt. It wasn't long before he said it was hot and so uncomfortable that he even scratched his clothes. The doctors said that they had never seen such a strange disease, so the old slave came to ask Niangniang! ”

Wu Mei and Tang Ying glanced at each other, and Tang Ying shook his head and said that he didn't know what was strange. So, while she asked someone to go to Si Tianjian to invite the heavenly officials, she took Tang Ying and rushed towards Zhaoqing Palace.
