Tang Ying was taken back to the East Palace by Li Xian, and it didn't take long for him to wake up. But she didn't want to open her eyes, so she covered her head and desperately immersed herself in a trance that was half asleep and half awake.

Here, her Li Chunfeng always walked towards her from the light, but he disappeared before she could see his face clearly.

Ming Chongyan has no news, and Li Xian has less worries. He was in a very good mood, not only found the best doctor to treat Tang Ying, but also served food and water himself, taking care of her as his own princess.

He did personally send someone to deal with the wreckage of the puppet in Pingkangfang, and asked someone to let out the rumors that he had stabbed the demon in Pingkangfang and returned triumphantly. For a time, in the hearts of the people of Chang'an, the "prince" was regarded as a hero. Ming Chongyan's name does not appear in the whole story, but the appearance and demeanor described in it are well understood.

Tang Ying didn't mention what he said to him before, about returning to Qianling to cross. In the past, the reason why she was able to decide to leave everything in this world and try to return to the twenty-first century was because she thought that Li Chunfeng was dead.

But Li Chunfeng appeared again at this time, unprecedentedly clear, although she was sucked into the yin and yang space, but after all, she had come out of that space, and it was not ruled out that he might come back. The question is, when. Although she ages very slowly, she is always a mortal, what if it is good if it is a hundred and eighty years, what if it never comes out?

After a month, Ming Chongyan did not come back. Although Wu Mei was a little depressed when she heard the rumors spread by Li Xian, her political skills did not completely rely on Ming Chongyan, so she could still deal with it easily. In the first year of Yifeng (676 AD), Li Xian proposed to let Di Renjie be promoted to Dali Temple, he knew that Tang Ying and Di Renjie's friendship was good, and he would spare no effort to please her, and at the same time, it would be better if he could win over a person with both ability and political integrity to be his henchman.

Wu Mei secretly laughed at Li Xian's naivety in her heart, but happily agreed to his proposal. First of all, in the absence of Ming Chongyan, it is best not to be too eager to tear up his face with the prince and Tang Ying; On the other hand, she will have the opportunity to go to Luoyang in the future, and how she influenced Li Chunfeng at the beginning, she will have the confidence to take Di Renjie under her command.

However, she was over fifty years old, and without Ming Chongyan to help her deal with trivial matters, she soon felt powerless. At this time, she met Shangguan Wan'er, who was demoted to slavery in the court. She saw in the eyes of a young girl who had appeared in front of her with her heart and mind the same ambition as when she was young.

Maybe it was Shangguan Wan'er's shrewdness and intelligence that moved her, or maybe she wanted to remember Ming Chongyan from the mode of always having jackals by her side, and maybe Shangguan Wan'er reminded her of Tang Ying. In short, no one expected that when she lost such a top master as Ming Chongyan, she would find a girl who had just become an adult, and she was also a girl with whom she had a great enmity to be her confidant.

But she did. Since she joined hands with Ming Chongyan, she seems to be gradually getting rid of the shackles of the world. If it was Tang Ying who inspired her, she could be the queen of the world. Then, it was Ming Chongyan's paranoia that planted her ambition to be a real emperor!

said that women can't go to court, so she just sits on the dragon seat. said that women can't be officials, she prefers to be promoted. She always kept in mind the Ning energy that Ming Chongyan conveyed to her, and she wanted to fight to the end with all the people in the world who refused to surrender to her!

Shangguan Wan'er is smart, she knows that Lu Dao is mixed with Wu Mei's side, if she takes the opportunity to kill Wu Mei, although she will have revenge, then she will be finished. He is more than forty years younger than Wu Mei, why did he ruin his life like this? Isn't fourteen years of slavery enough?

So she accepted Wu Mei's invitation without hesitation. However, she didn't expect that the first test that Wu Mei gave her was to leave a mark on her delicate face. Beauty can be said to be everything to a woman in the deep palace, and Wu Mei certainly understands this truth. But there is Concubine Xiao Shu in front, Helan Minyue in the back, and Tang Ying who is as beautiful as a fairy.

The beautiful woman is a thorn in Wu Mei's heart.

The most distinctive thing about Shangguan Wan'er is that she can distinguish what is the most important. In this harem, Wu Mei is the most important, not any man. She made up her mind, picked up the brand herself, and branded herself as a slave in the center of her brow. But she didn't think it was ugly at all, and won Wu Mei's appreciation with her confident demeanor. Facts have proved that many years later, this flower-like mark has been imitated by many young ladies in Chang'an, and has become a symbol of beauty. As a result, she won Wu Mei's trust in one fell swoop, and in the second year of Yifeng (677 AD), she became a legitimate female official in the harem.

Nearly two years have passed in the open and secret battles of the court. Tang Ying's body injury was healed unconsciously, but the root of the disease in his heart fell. Although she is dressed up by the palace maid every day, she always lacks a bit of brilliance in her eyes.

Li Xian sat more and more firmly in the position of the crown prince, and the invincible character that had been suppressed by Ming Chongyan gradually became prominent. repeatedly hinted to Tang Ying about getting married, but she refused. Because Li Xian had always mistakenly thought that Tang Ying said that he would get married after getting rid of Ming Chongyan, at this time, she was considered to be a rebel, and he also had a knot in his heart, although he also decided that she was the best candidate for the concubine, but he also slowly snubbed her and began to linger in the flowers.

Tang Ying ignored all of this. She spends all her time remembering Li Chunfeng. She raised countless carrier pigeons in the palace, and asked Qingyun and others about Li Chunfeng's news. Li Xian's other aides thought that this kind of behavior would make Wu Mei think that he was forming a party for personal gain, and asked him to persuade Tang Ying to restrain himself. But he was afraid that if Tang Ying didn't send a letter, she would fly out of the palace wall by herself.

After weighing it again and again, he still endured it and continued to let Tang Ying go. endure and endure, and the knots in my heart are getting more and more.

Finally one day, he got drunk and broke into Tang Ying's bedroom. He felt that he had done enough, and that he should receive his work. Unexpectedly, she kicked her out, and sat in the courtyard with a white fire ring for a night, becoming a laughing stock in the palace.

The next day, Tang Ying didn't say a word, left the East Palace and went straight to the emperor's bedroom. At this point, Li Xian lost face, and the relationship between the two also fell to the freezing point.

When Tang Ying imprisoned himself in the inner world and couldn't come out, there were people staring at every move of the East Palace.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was in her prime, saw the opportunity and often went to Li Xian on the pretext of transmitting official documents. At this time, Li Xian is no longer the lonely prince who has no power and no power before, so naturally he will not treat her as Tang Ying begging her to speak well in front of the Empress Wu. In addition, with Tang Ying Zhuyu in front, everything about Shangguan is not so attractive.

But Shangguan Wan'er is a smart person, she did not show the flattery of this arrogant prince from the beginning, but put on a businesslike face, asking Li Xian to look up to her. Then, with his good literacy and the ability to explore his heart, he narrowed the distance between Li Xian and her little by little.

It didn't take long for Li Xian to have such a smart and understanding girl in his heart.

As for Shangguan Wan'er, she told Wu Mei that she was spying on Li Xian, and she repeatedly expressed her appreciation and support for Li Xian, which really played the power trick to the extreme.

These are all leftovers of Wu Mei's play, and she sees it in her eyes, and is willing to rely on Shangguan to disrupt the enemy's camp. And Li Xian didn't think about it so much, he only saw Shangguan's pitiful background, and he was already thinking about how to save this poor girl from the clutches of his mother.

If things continue like this, maybe Tang Ying will spend the rest of his life in the cycle of "boating in the Taiye Pond and watching the falling flowers under the trees". But in the dark, God has already arranged everything.

At the end of this year, the man who disappeared without a trace actually returned.
