Wu Mei slowly stroked her stomach and said, "Zhongyuan was in danger that day, and an immortal helped me resolve the crisis. Since then, Concubine Xiao Shufei has not been able to come out of the palace, and the queen's side is also very quiet. It just so happened that my mother brought my sister to see me, and that was how it happened. She paused, and suddenly a bright light flashed in her eyes, "Shadow." Could it be that the immortal who came to save me is your master? ”

Tang Ying let out a vague "um". Wu Mei asked sincerely: "This immortal didn't even show his face, how can I repay him?" Tang Yingxin said: "Li Chunfeng is already embarrassed enough to help you, and if you take your benefits, won't you force him to death?" Although he thought this in his heart, he said, "My master has always only known about eliminating demons, and he has not cared about the mundane world. So, there is no need to reciprocate. Wu Mei sighed a few times and stopped mentioning this matter.

The days seem to be back on track. Since Li Chunfeng faced up to his intentions, his correspondence with Tang Ying has become more and more frequent, and the care in the letters has gradually increased. Tang Ying didn't expect that once he pierced this layer of window paper, he would see a completely different him. Even, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she deliberately took her out of the palace to admire the moon, although there was no further contact, but the tenderness and sweetness are also worth reminiscing for a long time.

Since Mrs. Helan came, the emperor ran more to the Zhaoqing Palace in his spare time. At first, Tang Ying was a little embarrassed to meet him, but after a long time, he got used to it. It's just that he hasn't slowed down, and he always smiles a little unnaturally when he looks at her. She was afraid of the revival of her old feelings, so she had to avoid him as much as possible.

The time soon came to winter, and Tang Ying practiced the cultivation method on "Bai Zetu", and his control of Bai Huo went to a new level. Wu Mei's movements have gradually become inconvenient, and she chats with Mrs. Helan and Tang Ying every day. Tang Ying secretly went to the vicinity of Shujing Hall a few times at night, and her demonic spirit and blood were much weaker, but she never saw Concubine Xiao Shufei's face, and she didn't know if she was still brewing any conspiracy.

After the New Year, it was the sixth year of Yonghui (655 AD), that is, the year when Wu Mei was canonized as the queen. When she thought of the bloodshed and turbulence of this year, her heart was difficult to settle.

I didn't think that the boredom here had not disappeared, and the family would add chaos again. Lord Tang, who had never expressed concern for the life of Tang Ying Palace, suddenly asked the palace people to spread the word, saying that he would take Tang Ying home to get married, and learn the way of female celebrity and housekeeping in advance.

Tang Ying panicked when he heard this. Although she is far from the age where she can get married, in this era, the fate of her parents is greater than heaven.

Tang Ying immediately found Wu Mei and begged: "Ying'er has been with you for so many years, and I have never asked for anything, today I beg you to tell my grandmother, just say that I have died in the palace and can't go back." ”

Wu Mei saw her sad face, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry. It's not a big deal, but it's a bit of a hassle. Your father is a ruler, and he cannot give him some money, if I claim that you are dead. He might have to go to the palace to verify it. ”

Although Tang Ying expected that he would not really care about his life and death, he would inevitably use the topic to play to become an official and become a knight. Thinking of his face, Tang Ying was even more eager to sever this relationship.

Wu Mei patted her hand and said, "Actually, it's not difficult. You go to the emperor in person, as long as he opens his golden mouth, and then give you a beautiful funeral, which not only breaks your worries, but also saves your father. Wouldn't it be better? ”

Tang Ying hadn't been in contact with the emperor for a few days, and it sounded a little difficult, Wu Mei said again: "I'll help you talk about it first, but Bixia can't help you ask you personally." ”

Tang Ying nodded, and asked again: "Mei Niang, don't you think I'm unfilial?" ”

Wu Mei pursed her lips and smiled, "When I went to pick you up in the palace, someone had already told me about your father's face." I haven't heard him visit you in all these years because he misses you. This time, eighty percent of the dignitaries are going to send you there. She said with some indignation, "Since you are even willing to be the emperor, let alone other men." I will definitely support you as long as you want to. ”

Tang Ying was surprised that her thinking was so modern, so she nodded busily. Wu Mei thought for a while and asked: "It's just that you have no father and no mother from now on, what if you want to marry someone else in the future?" When she said this, her face suddenly appeared, "I am confused, and you will be my sister in the future!" I'm your mother's family. ”

Tang Ying was moved to tears, holding Wu Mei's arm and not letting go. For Li Chunfeng, it's all worth it. Even if she doesn't have a name, she doesn't care!

The next day, Tang Ying heard Wu Mei say that she had told the emperor. But the emperor did not summon her immediately. After another two days, suddenly the prince next to the emperor invited her to go to the Ganlu Palace, she didn't dare to slack off, she was busy with makeup, and went to face the saint.

Autumn is crisp and the weather is fine. The princess begged Haode and said, "Miss Tang seems to have grown a lot taller!" Tang Ying also sighed according to his meaning: "Yes, when you carried me out of the car, I was so tall." Seeing that she was small, she was quite acquainted, and he looked at her even more, and said nothing more with joy.

When he arrived at the Ganlu Palace, Li Zhi was sitting in front of the large bookcase to correct the recital, and when he saw her coming, he asked her to study ink for herself, without mentioning her request at all.

She was a little apprehensive at first, but then calmed down, thinking that even if she returned home, she could pretend to kill herself, and then sneak back to the palace. Even if you can't go back to the palace, you can take your grandfather Lang to the end of the world. Although it is also endless, it is better than just letting her marry.

Thinking of this, she was no longer in a hurry, her mood was relaxed, and her hands grinded faster. As soon as she figured it out, Li Zhi stopped his pen and looked at her with a smile: "Shadow, what are you thinking in your little head?" ”

Tang Ying hurriedly knelt down, "Qi Qi Bixia, I don't want to marry casually, I don't want them to arrange my fate." So please also bixia fulfillment. ”

Li Zhiqi said: "How can there be people in the world who do not obey the mandate of heaven? Even the emperor above me will inevitably weigh compromise, why can't you? ”

Tang Ying craned his neck and said, "Because the greater the power, the greater the responsibility!" I'm a weak woman with no rights or desires, I just want to live my life according to my own heart. ”

Li Zhi said: "There are still a lot of crooked reasoning, aren't you afraid that the world will say that you are not filial?" If it were placed in modern society, she might still have a little concern, but in the Tang Dynasty, she didn't become a historical celebrity, so she was an insignificant little girl, what was she afraid of?

Tang Ying tilted his head and asked: "If I fake my death, there is no one like me in the world, what am I afraid of?" ”

Li Zhi stared into her eyes, "If I don't help you, you will kill yourself too, right?" Tang Ying nodded affirmatively, "There's always a way to make them think I'm dead." It is not known whether they will flee elsewhere. ”

"Alright, alright! You are not allowed to go anywhere, just stay with me in this big cage. Li Zhi put the brush on the pen stand, rubbed his temples, put his hands on the bookcase, and said helplessly: "I can tell you in advance that it was Di Renjie, the grandson of Di Gong, who came to ask for marriage." You don't know him, but I've heard of him. To be honest, this is one of the few people I feel worthy of you. Don't you regret it? ”
