Wei Tuan'er cautiously lowered his head and stood in front of Wu Zetian, and he didn't dare to come out.

Wu Zetian's face was gloomy, her chest rose and fell, obviously she was not lightly angry.

Shangguan Wan'er knew Wu Zetian's thoughts, but it was not easy to persuade him at the moment. With her understanding of Wu Zetian, if she persuades now, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

However, Wu Zetian is not as good as he was back then, at the age of more than seventy, if he is angry, this is not what Shangguan Wan'er wants to see.

Shangguan Wan'er rolled her eyes, and said to Wu Zetian with a smile: "Your Majesty has just summoned Wulang and Liulang to come to perform, presumably they will arrive soon, you see......"

After listening to Shangguan Wan'er's words, Wu Zetian did not speak, but his face eased a little.

Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and stopped talking with interest.

Wu Zetian exhaled deeply, as if he wanted to dissipate all the gloom in his heart. She waved her hand at Wei Tuan'er: "Okay, you go down first!" It's in your belly! ”

"Slaves obey!" While Wei Tuan'er replied in a panic, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, how could Wei Tuan'er, who has always been in the deep palace, not understand this truth. What's more, although the old lady in front of her is old, her fangs are still sharp, much more powerful than a tiger, and she is no worse than other kings when it comes to being ruthless. She really wanted to go crazy under the rage, and her life would be ruined.

Thanks to Shangguan Wan'er's timely mediation, this can be regarded as escaping. Thinking of this, Wei Tuan'er threw a grateful glance at Shangguan Wan'er the moment he turned around.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly to Wei Tuan'er and motioned for her to leave quickly.

After Wei Tuan'er left, Wu Zetian was silent for a long time, sighed and asked, "Wan'er, what do you think about this?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er knew that Wu Zetian was very conflicted in her heart, and the more this was the case, the more difficult it was for her to express her position easily. However, Wu Zetian asked, and she couldn't do it if she didn't speak.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, in fact, the matter of Wan Guojun has been clearly stated by Lu Xiaoxian when he saw him last time, it depends on what the situation is now?" ”

After Shangguan Wan'er reminded her like this, Lu Xiaoxian's words seemed to sound in Wu Zetian's ears again: "Your Majesty, this is the same as the cooking heat, if the fire is small, you can cook for a while, if the fire is big, you have to hurry out of the pot, if it is already paste, you can only abandon it." At the same time, for the sake of safety, you can send someone to the remote places to find out what the heat is like, and then make a decision whether to continue cooking, remove the pot or discard. ”

Wu Zetian lowered his head and muttered to himself: "It's true that this pot of rice is mushy, but you can't let me pour it!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er wasted no time in saying: "Your Majesty, you only need to make up your mind about such a thing, and someone will pour this pot of leftovers for you!" ”

Wu Zetian raised his head and looked at Shangguan Wan'er: "You mean the fake Lu Xiaoxian's hand?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly and did not speak.

Wu Zetian was silent for a while, stretched his waist, as if talking to himself, and as if he said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Resign yourself to fate, let it go, I'm too lazy to care about this!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er heard that Wu Zetian's words were tantamount to acquiescing to her suggestion.

……

"Princess Taiping's Mansion guest secretary Wei Xianyun!"

Lu Xiaoxian looked down at the invitation card in his hand and looked at it very carefully.

After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Steward Liu: "He personally sent the invitation?" ”

"It's not!" Steward Liu replied softly, "It's a descendant of Princess Taiping's Mansion, and he said that it was sent for Mr. Wei!" ”

Mr. Wei?

A figure flashed from Lu Xiaoxian's mind in an instant: That day, Wu Zetian held a poetry tasting meeting in Xiangshan Temple, and the man in Tsing Yi standing behind Princess Taiping.

It should be him, except for him, Lu Xiaoxian really couldn't imagine that there would be someone in Princess Taiping's Mansion who would invite him to the banquet. However, he only had a one-sided relationship with the man in Tsing Yi, and he didn't even say a word, why would the other party invite him?

Originally, Lu Xiaoxian was full of curiosity about the man in Tsing Yi, but now that the other party took the initiative to invite, of course he would not refuse.

Wei Xianyun invited Lu Xiaoxian to the banquet, and the place he chose turned out to be the autumn wind, obviously showing favor to him.

It was early in the morning, and it was still early before the dinner, so Lu Xiaoxian took the invitation into his arms, said hello to Steward Liu, and walked out of Zhang's mansion.

Lu Xiaoxian put his hands behind his back, and walked aimlessly while thinking about Wei Xianyun's treat. The other party is the same as himself, he eats the bowl of rice, but he is the housekeeper of the Zhang brothers, and Wei Xianyun is the guest of the Taiping Princess's Mansion, what kind of scene will this first meeting be.

"Master Lu!" Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Xiaoxian heard a voice coming.

Lu Xiaoxian looked at it, it turned out to be Yang Si, looking at him with a smile.

"Brother Yang, it's such a coincidence, we haven't seen each other for a while!" Lu Xiaoxian's face showed joy.

Although Yang Si is a eunuch, Lu Xiaoxian has a good impression of him, not only because he has helped Lu Xiaoxian, but more importantly, Lu Xiaoxian likes his bold, straightforward and unpretentious temperament. Getting along with Yang Si, Lu Xiaoxian will not feel tired at all.

"How can it be such a coincidence! I'm here for you! Yang Si blinked, as if he had something to say.

"Came to me?" Lu Xiaoxian didn't bother for a while.

"Master Lu, can you take a step to speak?" Yang Si's behavior was somewhat abnormal.

Lu Xiaoxian nodded and followed Yang Si to a secluded place.

"Brother Yang, what the hell is going on, it's so mysterious!"

Yang Si glanced left and right, and whispered in Lu Xiaoxian's ear: "Shangguan Shanggong asked me to pass on a message to you, Your Majesty has already moved to kill Wan Guojun, and the rest is up to you!" ”

"Huh?" When Lu Xiaoxian heard this, he was stunned.

"Grandma's! This birdman is not a good thing, he should have died a long time ago, and he should have died early and was reborn! Yang Si said hatefully.

What Wan Guojun did in Panzhou, Yang Si witnessed it with his own eyes, and he once wrote a secret letter to Wu Zetian to report it truthfully, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Yang Si knew that Wan Guojun was favored in front of His Majesty, and he would have nothing to do with him for a while, and he had to endure it. Now, His Majesty has a murderous intent towards Wan Guojun, then he will definitely die, Yang Si is of course happy.

Looking at Lu Xiaoxian's solemn expression, Yang Si was stunned and said: "Lu Gongzi, don't you want the life of Wan Guojun, he was a victim of you at the beginning, and now the opportunity is in front of you, why are you afraid again?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian shook his head: "Brother Yang, this matter is not as simple as you think!" ”

Yang Si was puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! Your Majesty wants Wan Guojun's life, and it takes so many twists and turns to do just one sentence? Lu Xiaoxian said slowly, "People who used to be more difficult than Wan Guojun."

There are too many, under His Majesty's thunderous means, how can there be anything good, why do you need to fake the hands of others? ”

Yang Si nodded slightly, it seemed that Lu Xiaoxian's words were very reasonable.

"Besides! Even if Your Majesty wants to borrow a knife to kill people, there are more people available, why did you choose me? ”

"Maybe Your Majesty inadvertently remembered you!" Yang Si guessed.

"Impossible!" Lu Xiaoxian said categorically, "This matter is not trivial, Your Majesty must have thought it through!" ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

Lu Xiaoxian muttered: "I have to think about it carefully, in case this is Your Majesty testing you and me, once we act recklessly, the consequences will not be good!" ”

Hearing Lu Xiaoxian's words, Yang Si's face suddenly turned pale.

Wu Zetian hates ministers the most, although Yang Si is not a minister in the court, but he is a member of the Tianji Pavilion, and he can be regarded as Wu Zetian's confidant.

Yang Si never thought that Wan Guojun's matter would be a deliberate temptation by His Majesty, if it was really like what Lu Xiaoxian said, Yang Si would definitely die without a place to be buried.

"Lu Gongzi, then you have to let Wan Guojun go?" Yang Si asked in a trembling voice.

"Spare him?" Lu Xiaoxian shook his head, "No! You're right, this is a good opportunity, and you can't let him go! ”

After a pause, Lu Xiaoxian said again: "Brother Yang, you go back and tell Shangguan Shanggong, I will ponder this matter again, not only to get rid of Wan Guojun, but also not to set himself on fire, I have to think of a foolproof strategy!" Let Shangguan Shanggong wait patiently for my news! ”

"Okay!" Yang Si agreed and left in a hurry.

After listening to Yang Si's story, Shangguan Wan'er didn't squeak for a long time.

Yang Si asked cautiously: "Shangguan Shanggong, is it that Lu Gongzi is too worried?" Your Majesty didn't mean that at all? ”

"He's right, whether Your Majesty has such a mind or not, self-protection comes first!" Shangguan Wan'er sighed: "From this point of view, Lu Gongzi is better than me!" ”

Yang Si looked at Shangguan Wan'er in a daze, and was surprised in his heart.

Shangguan Wan'er grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she has seen too many deceits, and her intelligence and resourcefulness are well known. Because of this, Shangguan Wan'er has always been conceited. Hearing her admit that Lu Xiaoxian was stronger than her, this was something Yang Si didn't expect.

……

The autumn wind broke through the second floor, and in the deepest and larger private room, only two people sat down.

Lu Xiaoxian really didn't guess wrong, Wei Xianyun was the man in Tsing Yi behind Princess Taiping that day.

"Lu Xiaoxian has seen Mr. Wei!" Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Wei Xianyun and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei knows that I am the owner of the autumn wind, but he chose to treat me here, isn't it obvious that he wants to take advantage of me?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian's way of greeting was beyond Wei Xianyun's expectations, but he remained silent and asked with a smile: "What does Lu Gongzi mean by this, Wei listens!" ”

"If someone comes to your house, sir, and invites you to dinner at your house, will you be able to eat as the host?"

Lu Xiaoxian's words seemed a bit far-fetched, but Wei Xianyun couldn't refute it.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "So, I'll invite you to this meal!" ”

Wei Xianyun was about to speak, but saw Lu Xiaoxian waving his hand and said, "Mr. Wei doesn't need to be polite, just if you owe me, you will make up for it next time!" ”

Wei Xianyun knew that if he said anything more, he would definitely fall behind, so he had to readily agree.
