In the second year of Shangyuan (675 AD), Li Xian, the king of Liyong, was the crown prince and granted amnesty to the world.

In this way, Li Xian became the crown prince as he wished. can be different from the situation he expected to be appreciated by his parents and respected by hundreds of officials, and his ascension to the throne was premised on the death of his brother. In the atmosphere of grief up and down, no one congratulated him, but from time to time someone cast strange eyes, as if he was a murderer. The first to bear the brunt is the queen Wu Mei and Ming Chongyan.

He still remembered that Ming Chongyan once said in the court that his elder brother and two younger brothers had the image of an emperor, but he didn't mention himself. Now that he has become the crown prince, he is only one step away from the emperor, but he does not dare to swagger to ridicule Ming Chongyan. Because what he saw from the several eye encounters with Ming Chongyan was a message that made him extremely terrifying, the kind of horror that "it was only a matter of time before he killed you".

Li Xianzhan moved to the East Palace with trepidation, and the first thing he did was to send people around to find Tang Ying. He had never been so awake to find his long-cherished crown prince swaying on the edge of a cliff. Without Tang Ying, he couldn't even sleep well.

While he was looking for Tang Ying, the demon team led by Tang Ying and Di Renjie was also surrounding Chang'an. Ming Chongyan's puppet army gradually shrank towards Chang'an, as if to convey the message of "come to Chang'an to fight to the death".

On their way back to Chang'an, they heard the news of Prince Li Hong's death, and she had no doubt that it was related to Ming Chongyan. In March, the emperor's plan to abdicate the throne to Wu Mei failed, and the crown prince died in April.

Because he knows very well, all the people she cherishes are in Chang'an. He will do whatever it takes to threaten their lives so that she has to go back to the palace.

Di Renjie listened to Tang Ying's analysis and disagreed with her decision to go back. He believes that this is equivalent to being under house arrest, and if he wants to escape, he may cause more trouble. But Tang Ying insisted on going back. To her, the world is important, but Li Zhi, Wu Mei and their children are the people she values the most.

Li Chunfeng's suicide note said that he spent his whole life carrying the rise and fall of the world on his shoulders, and it was only when he died that he realized the regret of being cocooned and self-bound, and she was unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the past. What's more, the biggest threat in the world is in the palace, and she can't escape it no matter what.

So, they arranged for Qingyun Daochang and others to continue to collect information on monster activities around Chang'an, and they and Di Renjie went straight to the East Palace to find the crown prince Li Xian to meet.

This time, Tang Ying did not hide his whereabouts, but swaggered into Chang'an City. From the guards guarding the city to the gate guards of the imperial city, there are Wu Mei, Ming Chongyan, and the eyeliner of various forces in the court. The news of her return spread throughout Chang'an, even before she entered the imperial city.

Where she goes first is very important, whether it is the Imperial City Hanyuan Palace or the Prince's East Palace, it will affect the division of the political pattern. From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, she secretly campaigned for the emperor's abdication, which had already been silently praised by officials in Chang'an officialdom. Although nominally Hao Chujun took the lead, the organizers were undoubtedly Tang Ying and Di Renjie.

This abdication turmoil ended with the defeat of Wu Mei and Ming Chongyan, which rekindled hope for the royalists and shaped the legendary image of Tang Ying. Some of them were timid and even thought that if Tang Ying took the lead one day, then they would immediately join Tang Ying's camp.

So today's Tang Ying's choice is very crucial. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were secretly watching her movements, hundreds of ears listening to her choices. Of course, everyone has their own estimates.

Half of the people thought that she would go directly to Li Zhi and get a concubine title to fight against Wu Mei. When the time comes, after the whole court unanimously impeaches Wu, there will naturally be nothing to do with Ming Chongyan.

The other half of the people think that she will choose Li Xian directly, and these two are more compatible in terms of age. And as Li Zhi's trusted son and favored woman, he may immediately abdicate and let Li Xian ascend the throne directly. In this way, Wu Mei became the queen mother and retired directly from the throne. It seems that this ending is softer and more feasible. Even, Li Xian himself thinks so.

However, the reality surprised all **. Tang Ying went directly to find Wu Mei. It's just that it's not about taking refuge, it's about going to negotiate the last one.

Because of the white fire in Wu Mei's body, Tang Ying has always believed that Wu Mei will not be made a puppet by Ming Chongyan. And what she has done recently has become more and more violent and unsentimental, making Tang Ying a little confused whether she made her own choice.

She couldn't be more familiar with the road to the harem. This has always been the place where she and Wu Mei fought side by side. Since thirty years ago, when she pretended to be an oracle to tell Wu Mei how to return to the palace, this splendid palace has become a battlefield for them to share honor and disgrace.

Concubine Xiao Shu, Queen Wang, vine and people, demons and monsters have been eliminated by her and Li Chunfeng; Mrs. Helan, Helan Minyue, these brief episodes have also disappeared. She knows best the blood and tears that Wu Mei has paid on this road, but she can't believe that the once kind and forgiving woman has become the current Queen of Shura.

"The emperor is above, today Wu Mei was rescued by Tang Ying and escaped, and she is willing to marry her as sisters with different surnames. In the future, we will support all the way and share the blessings. ”

The vows of the past are still in my ears. At that time, Wu Mei knew how to be grateful.

Therefore, she would rather believe that these were all manipulated by Ming Chongyan, and she would rather give Wu Mei another chance.

Come to the Imperial Study. Wu Mei, who is over half a hundred years old, is wearing a bright yellow palace dress and a phoenix crown and sitting on the dragon chair, like a real emperor.

Tang Ying greeted her, no longer looking forward to the brilliance, but full of resolute eyes, and walked into the hall step by step.

"You're back. Ah Ying. Wu Mei had an illusory smile on her face, and there was a coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away.

Tang Ying stared at her for a long time, then looked around again, and asked, "Ming Chongyan is not here?" ”

Wu Mei smiled and said in a lover's tone, "He? I heard that you are back, and I deliberately set aside a chance for us to meet alone, so that we can catch up. ”

Indeed, there was not a trace of death in the entire imperial study. It seems that Ming Chongyan is really relieved to leave. Tempting Wu Mei with a hidden white fire, she still didn't have any abnormalities, it really didn't look like she was possessed.

Seeing that Tang Ying had been observing herself with a strained face, Wu Mei suddenly laughed, "Ah Ying." You still suspect that I am possessed, do you? In fact, if you think about it, Chongyan can say anything to you, so why borrow my mouth? ”

Tang Ying opened his mouth in disbelief, "So, you haven't been possessed by him?" Did you make your own decisions? ”

Wu Mei nodded proudly, "Of course." ”

Tang Ying asked: "Do you know anything about him wantonly creating a puppet army around Chang'an?" ”

Wu Mei slowly raised her eyes, "I haven't seen a single puppet army, but I heard that you instigated the ministers to oppose the emperor's abdication to me, right?" ”

Tang Ying bit her lip and nodded. Wu Mei asked, "Ah Ying." Wasn't you the one who encouraged me to be a queen in the first place? You have also seen the situation of the emperor, isn't it the best choice for me to be the empress? ”

Tang Ying raised his neck and said, "I don't object to you, as long as you drive Ming Chongyan out of the court and leave it to me!" ”

"Why?" Wu Mei stood up and said condescendingly: "He is my confidant......" She paused, and smiled ambiguously, "It's also my heart." ”
