At the beginning of March of the first year of Tianzhu, a series of foggy and widely implicated cases in Luoyang, the eastern capital, were finally settled.

Lijingmen captured the personal guards of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, in Shanglinfang, and learned from the letters that the case implicated twelve Li clan relatives such as Li Xun, the Duke of Huaiyang.

Some time ago, Wu Yanxiu and Wu Yizong, who were holding their tails, took advantage of the situation to call out to hit the sky, add oil and vinegar to climb the melon vines, and the bloody wind and blood rain were all over Luoyang, but in a few days, the jade of the Li family was missing a few pages, fortunately, Gaozu Li Yuan and Taizong Li Shimin are both dragon and horse spirits, and their descendants are flourishing, and they can withstand the ravages of wind and rain, otherwise, by now, the old Li family is afraid that it will have long been extinct.

There are still aftermaths of this incident, the new Dali Temple Secretary Di Renjie, with a belly of fire, went to the recital, and severely impeached Hou Sizhi of Lijingmen, disrupted the judiciary, embezzled legal power, and acted recklessly.

Empress Wu issued an order, Shen Hou Sizhi, and gave money and silk mansion as a wedding ceremony, one mile and one away, and the position was obvious.

It's been a month, and Quan Ce finally came out of the prison on the third floor of the basement, with a pale face, looking up at the sun in the sky, the sun is dazzling, and it is so amiable and lovely.

Taichu Palace, Xianju Palace, Empress Wu is wearing a golden phoenix robe, the upper skirt is thin and transparent, the crimson cherub on the chest is high and raised, between the two clumps of powder, the tempting ravine is bottomless, pacing in the main hall, holding a painting in his hand to look, look at the painting, and then look at himself, occasionally stretch out his hand to measure twice, his face is very uncertain, Shangguan Wan'er is on the side, his expression is mixed with sadness and joy.

"Guilty minister Quan Ce, meet the queen of heaven" Quan Ce knelt down, without an official robe on his body, or during his imprisonment, the brocade clothes provided by Lijingmen were very different from his usual dressing style, with bright colors, embroidery textures all over, and exaggerated tightly.

"Get up, do you remember this painting?" Empress Wu's voice was gentle and steady, not like she was summoning the criminals, nor did she mention the charges and crimes, and asked as usual.

Quan Ce was in a trance for a moment, raised his head slightly, and only saw the corner below, and recognized the Shengshi plump buttocks, it was the picture he painted above the neck is the martial queen, and below the neck is Bingbing's full-body sketch, and his heart was slightly shocked, when this painting was missing, he was very worried for a while, but he didn't expect that in the hands of the martial queen, "The criminal remembers that the criminal has no intention of blasphemy......"

"Hugh wants to say more, have you ever seen such a figure?" The martial queen was impatient and broke down.

Quan Ce choked and spoke decisively without conscience, "The criminal has never seen it, it's just a wild imagination and a smear."

"Hmph" Empress Wu snorted coldly, put the painting aside, Shi Shiran sat on the couch, and glanced at him, "Your appearance, Taiping saw it, I'm afraid I will be happy, and it will not be in vain for her to pull you...... I'm not stupid, if I open my mind at one or three o'clock in the evening, I won't bother to leave you with dignity."

"The sinner bows to thank the queen of heaven," Quan Ce kowtowed.

Empress Wu stared at the back of his head for a long time, then left the couch and walked in front of him, "I have two places for you, go to Lintai to repair books, or go to Beiya to lead the troops, choose"

"The criminal minister is willing to repair the book" The right policy hiccup did not hit one, and immediately chose to be quiet, he needed to be silent for a while, always making wind and rain in front of the courtiers, and constantly appearing, it was really not a fortunate thing, this fraud incident, although it was finally confirmed that it was only his hypothesis, the Li royal family's patience with him was still there, but if he continued to toss like this, and the martial queen sang and danced, and the hypothetical idea came true, then it was really a belly and back enemy.

Empress Wu smiled coldly, raised her foot and kicked him on the shoulder, the force was not small, and he kicked him over, "What is not motivated, there is no responsibility, it is difficult to become a big tool, I won't let you get your wish, get down"

Quan Ce got up and slowly exited the door, Empress Wu buried her head in the case, and glanced to the left, Shangguan Wan'er has been with Empress Wu for 13 years, and she has long been familiar with everything about her, so she immediately got up and went out of the palace with Quan Ce.

Quan Ce slowed down and walked side by side with Shangguan Wan'er, sensing the indescribable poignant emotions surrounding her, she didn't speak, and Quan Ce didn't speak.

The two walked silently through the Taichu Palace, and came to the door of Chongguang, Quan Ce paused, and looked at her sideways, "Wan'er, to survive in the world, everything is idle, our greatest comfort to each other is that today, we are all still alive, may you be grateful and happy with me"

He didn't know why she was low, but he knew that people like them who were struggling to survive were not qualified to be low for too long.

Two lines of tears slipped from Shangguan Wan'er's full cheeks, she stared at him stupidly, pursed her red lips that kept shaking, and showed a smile with difficulty, "Da Lang, the queen of heaven gave Wan'er a foreign house, in Sigong Fang, adjacent to Shanglin Fang, Da Lang remember to come as a guest"

Quan Ce's heart shook suddenly, as smart as him, how could he not understand the sound of the strings, he and Shangguan Wan'er were burdened with the debts of their birth, the only difference is that one is a man and the other is a woman, no matter what the era, there is always a place for a woman, one more scar than a man, the Empress Wu gave her a house, probably also explained to her, indulge her body and mind for fun, this kind of order erosion thing, seems absurd, but inadvertently cut off the possibility of Shangguan Wan'er marrying a lover, she is a supporter of the court and the opposition Shilin, in the future, she will probably only have a blasphemous heart, and no longer have the intention of respecting.

In this way, the Empress Wu can use her with confidence, which is the same as throwing Quan Ce into prison to grind the eagle.

Quan Ce stretched out his hand, pulled her hand, and let go gently, he couldn't speak, whatever he said, it was just superfluous.

Quan Ce gave up, Shangguan Wan'er took the blessing gift, the two looked peaceful, meticulous, looked at each other and smiled, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction.

On the square outside the palace gate, Princess Yiyang, Princess Gao'an, Fu Hui and Wang Hui, Zheng Zheng, Lu Zhaoyin and Cui Rong, relatives and friends learned the news, they all came to greet him, Princess Gao'an hugged him in her arms and howled loudly.

Quan Ce carefully soothed, his eyes wandered, he greeted everyone one by one, and when he saw the Jedi and Shazha Fu, he nodded lightly, and he could only repay the sacrifice made for him by living a good life.

The group returned to the mansion, crossed the charcoal brazier, and Princess Gao'an opened up Zhang Luo, changed her clothes and bathed in incense.

A feast was arranged that night, relatives and friends gathered together to wash the dust for Quan Ce, the guests were like clouds, Princess Taiping and Wu Youji came together, brought the order of the Empress Wu, and made Quan Ce the young eunuch of Lintai, the general of Zuo Yu Linwei of the school, and the palace of Su Wei.

Everyone has different expressions, Lintai is the original secretary and supervisor, the responsibility is to be in charge of the scriptures and books, proofreading the text, in order to prepare for the inspection of the consultant, is a cold yamen, Lintai young eunuch from the four products, not high or low, it seems that the power policy into the cold palace, but there is a military attache title, Zuo Yu Lin Wei General is the palace general, and a thousand horses side by side, the general in charge of the imperial guard squad supplement, similar to the minister of the guard, and seems to be entrusted to the power policy, which is mysterious, quite thoughtful.

Quan Ce calmly accepted the order, and respectfully invited Princess Taiping and his wife to take a seat, and the banquet was lively as before.

Late at night, in the study.

Quan Ce listened carefully to the Jedi and others to explain the actions before and after the wordless tablet.

"Geometric damage?" Quan Ce asked softly.

"Sixteen people died, dozens were injured, and the eight horses went to the second, and only three people remained," the Jedi vocal cords choked.

Quan Ce was silent for a long time, and then asked, "Where did she go?" ”

Quan Zhong knew who he was asking, "Go back to Songshan"

"It's okay" Quan Ce nodded, turned to look at Yunu, "In the future, you will be by her side to listen to orders"
