Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Princess Taiping cried suddenly, but she still had a very sad expression, raised her eyes and looked at her mother and said indignantly: "I am my mother's flesh and blood, but since I am an independent adult, my heart will be different!" My mother has such evil feelings for me, if it is spread, what face will I have to survive in the world! What kind of disgust I am, my mother still persecuts me to this day! ”

Wu Zetian smiled after hearing this, but there was a slight remorse in his tone: "After all, in previous years, I gave you too much indulgence and doting, so that you still feel that you can be exempt from punishment by cunning." But now, even if your mother has a heart, she is powerless. When will you, this lady, understand that after getting out of this embrace, there is no affection in the world that can indulge your nonsense! ”

"Grandma thinks I'm messing around? You grew up in this deep palace, and the four walls you saw, do you know how anxious the situation is? The fourth brother was in a hurry, and if it weren't for my advice, he wouldn't know how to deal with the chaos. I'm doing this for ......"

Princess Taiping still argued to herself, but Wu Zetian shouted angrily: "Shut up!" You really think that your mother is too old and deaf to be bullied! How much risk am I taking to see you now? If you weren't torn out of your own flesh and blood, I was tired of my long life before I came forward to see you? You have to be cunning and cover up, squandering a little bit of life! ”

"Things may be chaotic, but they will not be, they will not be...... Mother, you are willing to speak out, and you will not disobey your will, as long as he can exercise restraint......"

Princess Taiping saw that her mother's liver was really moving, and she couldn't help but be timid for a while, and her tone was weakened: "The world has been torn so far, and my mother is not without responsibility. The third brother has been adrift all the year round, after all, it is a big disaster, and I can't bear to see the sect family bleed again, only the fourth brother himself, and there is no capacity to accommodate it. If someone robs the third brother into Chang'an, the battle for the wall is close at hand......"

Wu Zetian closed his eyes and shook his hand, looking impatient, unwilling to listen to Princess Taiping anymore: "Your mother does have disobedient behavior, but it's not that you and others can look down on it!" How deep have you experienced the dangers in people's hearts? Your brother and sister are ignorant, clumsy and clumsy, and explain a few things, and you do it seriously. ”

"Mother, please speak!"

After Princess Taiping heard this, she didn't dare to make any more trouble? Hurry up and straighten your posture? Said solemnly.

"Princess Yong sent a gift to Xijing with a three-grade ceremony, and the old minister Pei Judao was ordered to chase after her, and her grief was the same as Liu Yanjing. Pei Yan chased after him? Don't be too beautiful and leave a glimmer of life for your fourth brother. King Lu granted the history of Shaanzhou Thorn. How many piles to do? The soldiers of Xijing can not pass Tongguan, so you can mess around. ”

When Princess Taiping heard this order, the corners of her mouth flashed with a hint of self-deprecation: "So my brother and I? In the eyes of my mother, I am such an obscene choice? Sure we can't make it. Is there only your grandson in the world? Is it the natural choice to be able to support big things? ”

"What's so big about this? Is it true that Shenzhi is stronger than you? Otherwise, your mother would not have fallen into this situation. All your thoughts and thoughts are in my womb? I wish I could be surprised, but unfortunately it is just a pity. I have been difficult to hope for a long time in the world, and before leaving, I hope to win the people I entrust, and Huangquan can avoid a little shame when I see my husband. He gave me a trust, and although he experienced ups and downs, he still wanted to praise and live up to his trust. ”

When Wu Zetian said this, he sighed abruptly, lowered his eyes and looked at Princess Taiping again, his mood was still complicated, and continued: "Don't be overly focused on the inward, if you have a confidant, make the faction merge the state, and the critical time can save your life." ”

Princess Taiping was silent after hearing this, and only after a while did she speak: "I can answer the matter of the next thing to my grandmother and try my best to make it happen." But King Lu stabbed Shaanzhou, this is really embarrassing, the fourth brother will never allow it, and the courtiers will not agree. ”

"You can't do this kind of trivial thing, how can you brothers and sisters have the courage to make big plans? Before setting up a business, think about defeat first, do you really want to blindly force yourself into a state of death, and there is no way to retreat? ”

Wu Zetian sneered when he heard this.

Princess Taiping was angry, and couldn't help but sneer: "Doesn't Mother think that your good grandson can do great things?" Why do you want to pave the way back to the east for him so clearly? Could it be that Ah Mu is still worried that his return will be blocked and it will be difficult for him to enter Dugi? ”

"I'm not worried about Shenzhi, it's you! I'm worried that you will not be able to end up the situation, and the Xijing Jiajia will not be able to save you! ”

Wu Zetian sighed and said helplessly: "The way back from caution is accessible, and Yu Chaoqing is also a shock." King Lu is the leader of the history of the Shaanzhou assassination, and it is also a warning to you, once the court is so restless that it will take its position, no matter what the situation is, immediately stop and leave the capital, and it will be a disaster to stay! ”

"My mother always talks about misfortune, but I can't see the cause of the disaster! Internal and external ministers, the old dynasty has been tamed for a long time, and the soldiers in the north and south are all under control, even if the court is in turmoil for a while, it will not be immediately declared with swords. But if there is no prohibition on entering and exiting cautiously, this is the real danger that makes people feel restless and anxious to solve. Such an arrangement will only make the situation more tense and not conducive to the balance between internal and external! ”

Although Princess Taiping values her mother's advice, she doesn't just blindly follow it, but still doesn't lose her own opinions and opinions.

In her opinion, sending King Yong's family to Xijing is indeed a plan to appease. Raising Pei Judao, the father-in-law who was filial to the emperor, to the same level as Liu Yanjing, the national father-in-law, can also make Xingtai less vocal in the next operation of the imperial court. Pei Yan's deeds are obvious in the abolition, and without honor, he can also let Shi Liu calm down a little, and don't focus on dangerous schemes.

However, if the capital of the gods is to the west, and the roads are under the control of Xingtai, the door of the court is wide open, which will only further intensify the atmosphere of confrontation with Xingtai, and is not conducive to the balance situation she envisioned.

In the final analysis, her mother gave such instructions, but she only looked down on her, and devoted herself to the grandson she valued, which naturally made Princess Taiping a little angry.

"The emperor will agree, you don't even have a deep understanding of what your brother thinks, it's rare that you have the courage to make the times trickle."

Seeing that Princess Taiping was still vibrant, Wu Zetian sighed again.

Princess Taiping didn't believe it when she heard this, but after thinking about it for a while, her face changed, and she said in a trembling voice: "Mother wants to relieve Zuo Yulin Wei and guard Shangyang Palace?" ”

Wu Zetian nodded: "Your brother is afraid of me like a tiger, if he can fully control my safety and life, he will never refuse." ”

Hearing her mother's words, tears suddenly welled up in Princess Taiping's eyes, this time it was really true feelings and not pretentiousness, she wiped a handful of tears from the corners of her eyes and said angrily: "Brother promises, I don't agree!" My mother's safety is not anyone's chip bet! Is it worthy? Mother, you have been shrewd all your life, can't you see that kid still complains about you chasing down your second brother? He doesn't deserve it! He is really eloquent, so he will kill the untamed people of the sect family cleanly, but he doesn't want to knock on the door for him with my mother's life! ”

Seeing that Princess Taiping reacted so excitedly, the corners of Wu Zetian's mouth trembled, he lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his eyes that were a little sour and took a deep breath: "Your mother's order Xu Sheji is fierce for half her life, and she is not a lonely and unknown guest in the world. This is my blessing, and I deserve a retribution. It's not worth it to be cautious, and I'll talk about it in the next year, but now, it's my own willingness, and I won't do the rest. ”

When Princess Taiping heard this, her pretty face was still like frost, and she wiped away the tears on her face, still stubborn: "King Lu can assassinate Shaanzhou, but Shangyang Palace must be guarded by me!" The fourth brother has a short plan, a little complicated, and he is sleepy, and he can't take care of his mother! I'll stay in Shangyang Palace tomorrow, since you don't care about your life, just make a name for me! ”

"The Manchu Dynasty is about to liquidate your mother, and you live with me intimately, I'm afraid it's against your will, right?"

Wu Zetian smiled after hearing this.

"I live with my mother, who can complain about me? It's just to add some verbal disputes, and since I have entered the world and danced, it is not expected to be easy. It's one thing to resent my mother, but let me see my mother's poor habitat, I can't bear it! In the first half of my life, my mother sheltered me, and for many years after that, I still relied on mother and daughter for life! My mother, don't be left alone! ”

When Princess Taiping said this, she stood up from the ground, looked at her mother and said, "Mother, rest in the palace, I will enter the palace to explain this matter to the fourth brother." If he insists on not allowing it, then he will no longer be my brother! My mother is disappointed, I will pay him back a thousand times! ”

Watching Princess Taiping hurry out of the palace, Wu Zetian also sighed: "In the old days, I would never have thought that I would be like a folk woman, old and controlled by my children, and I couldn't help myself. ”

After a little emotion, she said to Shangguan Wan'er who was standing on the side: "Go and invite Princess Yong to come over, they have been separated for a long time, and they have to see each other again." But once I went, I didn't know if I could see a few people alive, a short parting word, and a little comfort. ”

Shangguan Wan'er nodded yes after hearing this, but before leaving the hall, she said: "The concubine has arranged for her mother to be in the workshop a few days ago, and the accumulation of private self for many years in the ban can be enough to support herself for the rest of her life." Since then, I have lived in the workshop and prayed for His Majesty for a long time......"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er's tone was a little choked, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she held out a volume with both hands: "Your Majesty's daily life, all the usual details, are recorded here, and those who come to serve the people, Your Majesty can ask them to read carefully, no, no, no, ......no."

When Wu Zetian heard this, he was also a little sad, raised his hand to take the scroll, opened it to read it for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "You lady is as careful as a hair, and I don't even realize that I have recorded so much, it turns out that you are such a demanding person who is cumbersome." ”

She lowered her head and muttered for a moment, but still spoke: "Don't stay in Shendu, go to Xijing." After leaving the palace, they are civilians, and the flashiness of the past is erased. There is really a desperate poverty, so that there is nowhere to redress. ”

"The concubine's oath is in front of her, and she will never break it."

Shangguan Wan'er knocked on the ground and cried sadly.

Wu Zetian bent down and patted the back of his neck, and said with a smile: "I know that you are shrewd and cautious, and you have a preface, and you will not violate it." Go, live with peace of mind, the old things are not enough to remember for a long time, and I will no longer give you things. If you go out of this door, you will be born again. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

Shangguan Wan'er buried her head in Wu Zetian's knees, crying silently for a while.
