Wu Qi wanted to enter the palace to see the old lady, and the only way was through Shangguan Wan'er.

Because now, except for Wu Chenghei, only Shangguan Xiaowan can enter and leave the forbidden garden at will.

Meng Cangsheng had no objection to this.

Although Taiping was the first to drink and woke up Wu Qi, but when he first met a big change, he always had to give him a little time.

Moreover, at this time, Wu Zetian is precisely the most suitable person to explain Wu Qi.

It's just that what Dao Ye didn't expect was that Wu Qi didn't go to seek an explanation when he saw Wu Zetian.

In a way, he was looking for liberation.

......

An hour later, when Wu Laoshi stood in the Liangyi Hall and faced Wu Zetian.

An old man and a young man, the mother and son, who have been separated for more than 20 years, finally meet each other.

I don't know why, whether it's Wu Zetian or Wu Qi, there is a trace of strangeness in my heart.

Wu Zetian, she experienced a mistake for Wu Ning as a parent, and now she is facing Wu Qi's handsome face... But I can't bring up the excitement I once had.

It's also relieved to think about it, in the past ten years, Wu Zetian has always regarded Wu Ning as his son.

The things that Wu Ning did were particularly impressive to Wu Zetian.

It's like a few words, saying that he used force and thought twice to ease the Li and Wu families.

It's like working day and night, writing that box of "Awakening World".

Like, the eyes that are always alienated and faintly resentful.

These past events made it difficult for the old lady to adapt to a sudden change of person.

And Wu Qi, even more so.

Until three days ago, he firmly believed that he was the son of Wu Changlu.

never thought that he would have such a relationship with the Empress of the Great Zhou. Moreover, Her Majesty the Empress also gave birth to the heart of succession.

This scene, for Wu Zetian and Wu Qi, is absurd, but it is an unavoidable fact.

"You... It's coming! ”

Wu Qi bowed, "Minister, I've seen Your Majesty!" ”

Maybe Wu Laoshi should be like Taiping, calling him "Mother Emperor", or calling himself "Erchen".

However, Wu Lao Shi still didn't call out after all.

"Sit.... Sit down and say. ”

The old lady was a little flustered, hurriedly beckoned Wu Qi, and sat down on the chair that had been prepared in the hall a long time ago.

"Kuro.... Have you talked about it with the sub-period? ”

"......" Wu Qi was stunned and looked at the old lady in a daze.

"Kuro..."

"Child Period...."

This was the old lady's instinctive reaction, blurting out.

However, when I heard Wu Qi's ears, it was a different matter.

The old lady called Wu Ning Jiulang and called herself Ziqi.

It shows that in the old lady's subconscious, Wu Ning's status is closer than him.

Actually, it's inevitable.

Although Wu Qi and the old lady are blood relatives, they recognize each other abruptly after all, and they can't react for a while.

Besides, Wu Qi's impression of the old lady in the past was not only handsome, but also handsome, at most adding a little literary brilliance, and she was a sensible and well-behaved baby.

However, what about Wu Ning?

Don't look at Wu Laojiu's arrival in the capital in the past two or three years, he has added a lot of obstacles to Wu Zetian, and even ten years ago, when he was still going down the mountain pass, he rarely did things according to the old lady's wishes.

However, in fact, Wu Zetian and Wu Ning are all the way.

This old man and young man are bulls on the surface, but in the face of major events, they have quite a tacit understanding in the vision of controlling the court situation.

Sometimes, you don't even need to communicate deliberately, just a glance, and the other party can understand what's going on.

This kind of tacit understanding is called heart attract, to put it mildly. To put it mildly, it is a raccoon dog, and he is also a person who does big things.

It can be said that it is an alternative communication, which is far easier to close the distance than superficial conflict.

......

Wu Zetian's failure to check for a while made Wu Lao Shi only slightly stunned.

Not only is there no estrangement in my heart, but I don't know why I feel relaxed.

Maybe for him, this can alleviate some of the guilt he feels about Wu Ning, right?

Answering the old lady's question was also respectful: "Back to Your Majesty, it's not the Ninth Brother who tells you, it's His Royal Highness Taiping.... Woke up the minister. ”

"Taiping?" The old lady was stunned.

Subconsciously asked: "Then you.... You okay? ”

"It's fine. The minister has been... It's okay to accept that. ”

"Well... Good, good, good! ”

The old lady was overjoyed and praised again and again, as if she was very pleased.

As a result, maybe he was overjoyed, and he popped out again: "This Jiulang, it's wrong!" ”

The old lady was full of light and said to Wu Qi: "That day, he told me the truth, and I wanted to recruit you to me at that time, and mother and son recognized each other." ”

"But that old nine!" The old lady looked disgusted, "Looking ahead, I just refuse." ”

"Why, you have too little experience to accept such cruelty."

"How about now? My son, where did he come from to be so weak? Isn't it just as upright and unscathed? ”

"Hahahaha!" At this, the old lady laughed.

"Look, it's not much worse than him Wu Laojiu!"

"......" Wu Laoshi's face turned green.

If you want to say that the intimacy on the title just now, Wu Lao Shi will endure it. But these few sentences are a bit excessive, right?

Where is the old lady happy that Wu Qi can bear this fact, she is happy that Wu Laojiu looked away.

Grandma's, how did this son's recognition of his mother become the result of the old lady and Wu Laojiu's fighting?

Wu Lao Shi was a little indignant, and smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, he... When he looked away, there were many! ”

"Oh?" The old lady raised her eyebrows, "Tell me about it!" ”

She didn't expect that a few jokes would invisibly shorten the distance between the mother and son.

In fact, the meeting between the two was abrupt.

Wu Qi suddenly knew the truth, and the old lady believed Wu Ning's nonsense, in order to let Wu Qi take over the throne, thinking that it would be a long time before the mother and son could recognize each other.

She hadn't thought it would be so soon, so suddenly.

Therefore, as soon as they met, the two had a little awkward chat.

However, he inadvertently pulled the conversation to Wu Ning, and naturally there was a common language.

As for the weight of Cheng Lao Jiu in the old lady's heart, it is just a joke.

Wu Lao Shi was not only not jealous, but had some feelings that were just right for him, and deliberately led the topic to Wu Ning.

Talking about the ugly things that happened between brothers. There were also low-level mistakes made by Wu Ning, which made Wu Zetian listen to it with relish and laugh again and again.

And Wu Qi has been taking the opportunity to observe Wu Zetian and observe this mother who "fell from the sky".

.....

"Really?" Time flies, and at this time, the old lady's eyes are full of surprise, "He is actually pretending to be a blind man and deceived Qin Miaoniang?" ”

"It's still .... And went to someone's shop to hire an accountant? ”

"Of course it's true." Wu Qi's voice was colorful, "Your Majesty only knows that he wants to marry Qin Miaoniang, and he definitely doesn't know that there is such an oolong past!" ”

The old lady reminisced, "This Wu Laojiu is really okay, he doesn't care about business, but he goes to provoke some beauty." ”

sighed: "I have no ambitions!" ”

Turning his head and saying to Wu Qi: "Don't you learn from him, focus more on business." ”

"Ugh."

Wu Qi is embarrassed, I'm afraid the old lady doesn't know that on the issue of women, Wu Lao Shi dumped Wu Ning for eighty streets, which is more than enough!

Seeing Wu Qi's embarrassment, the old lady smiled indifferently, "I mean that you don't have to go to your heart." ”

smiled as smug as an elder, "The maid next to you ......"

"What's it called... Lan Qing? ”

"Humph!" The old lady snorted lightly, "Just Taiping, this girl has a lot of hearts, keep Lan Qing by your side." It's also to help the harem in the future, which is reasonable. ”

"As for Wan'er...," the old lady muttered, "I have tested Wan'er's heart before, and I have no intention of wielding power when I listen to her words and deeds. ”

"I have also beaten her, don't give birth to this intention. Therefore, if you have a relationship with her, I am still happy to see it. ”

"However, Wan'er is nominally a talented person of the first emperor after all, and she is also older, so she can't be a late!"

"In the future, I will choose a noble girl of a large family to take charge of the harem. For you, too, it helps. ”

"......" Wu Qi was speechless for a while.

That's it.... Got the harem all arranged?

After chatting for so long, Wu Qi probably also had an impression in his heart.

It is not false to say that Wu Laojiu's status in the old lady's heart is not low, but Wu Zetian does regard Wu Qi as his own child.

Between the words, there are mostly admonitions and reminders.

This is like Wu Ning and Wu Qi are both old lady's children, and there is no intimacy. It's just that one is familiar, and the other just picked it up and doesn't know how to get along.

Looking at the old lady's radiant appearance, Wu Qi's heart, which was still a little hesitant, gradually settled.

He came today, not just to talk to the old lady, he ......

"Your Majesty!" Wu Qi said suddenly, "Can the minister ask His Majesty a question?" ”

The old lady was stunned, "You... Just ask! ”

Wu Qi grinned and looked at Wu Zetian admittedly: "Why did Your Majesty want to pass the throne to me?" ”

"Huh?"

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, "Shouldn't it... Should it be you? ”

"How could it be me?" Wu Qi frowned.

"This ......"

Wu Zetian hesitated even more, "Those imperial brothers of yours are not angry!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Wu Qi looked directly at Wu Zetian, "Compared with Brother Jiu, he is not angry!" ”

“！！！！”

Wu Zetian's whole body stiffened again, "He Jiulang.... Kuro than... Not angry? ”

Wu Qi pointed out an indisputable fact, that is:

Whether it's Li Xian, Li Dan, Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, except for one Li Xian, it's really a bit of a wretch, it seems that the others can't be compared with Wu Ning.

After all, what Wu Ning has done for so many years is placed there, and he can compare the others to the stinky ditch.

However, what about Wu Qi?

Wu Qi is not without talent, but Wu Qi's talent has not been revealed.

If it weren't for the night of Wu Chenghe's mutiny, Wu Ning had ulterior motives to let him go out in front of the Sixteen Princes' mansion, and everyone might still think that he was just a playboy who relied on Mu Zijiu to have today.

So, how did Wu Zetian know that Wu Qihui was more capable of taking over the throne than Li Xian and Li Dan?

It doesn't make sense.

The only explanation is that Wu Ning said he could do it!

Wu Ning said that Wu Qi could take the throne, and said that he could pass the throne to Wu Lao Shi.

Then the old lady believed.

And it's all listening, all believing. even did not hesitate to let Wu Ning give it a go, and directed this big scene to put Wu Chengsi on the throne and turned 360 bends to help Wu Laoshi up.

Here's the crux of the matter.

This is also the reason why Wu Lao Shi was quite concerned about the old lady's impression of Wu Ning as soon as he came in.

How much does Wu Laojiu have in the old lady's mind? In order to establish the reserve, without any investigation or consideration, the matter will be decided.

It can be said that the old lady is the successor chosen by the ears, not the eyes.

"It's just.... It's just...."Wu Zetian was confused by Wu Lao Shi's question, "It's Jiu Lang who said, your talent is not inferior to him, but you can take on a big responsibility." ”

"I'll just..."

"Besides...... "In the end, he was already helpless, "Besides, this throne was originally meant to be given to Jiulang." Now that he is no longer qualified, it will naturally be for you!"

The old lady wants to scold her mother, who taught these two brothers? One is that he doesn't want the throne in his hands, and the other is to ask directly in front of her, why give it to me? Am I eligible?

She'd never seen anything like it.

"So....." After listening to Wu Zetian's explanation, Wu Qi was even more relieved, "So, it was Brother Jiu who made His Majesty make a decision?" ”

“！！！！！”

Wu Zetian was suddenly startled, and finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

At this time, Wu Qi's calm and firm voice sounded in the hall again.

"The minister asks again, why must it be me, the lord of the world and the successor of the imperial power? Couldn't it be someone else? ”

Wu Zetian: "......"

......

————————————

An hour later.

"No! You kid, you're too presumptuous! ”

......

"Your Majesty! No, Mother! The retainer will always be your child, and the retainer will always be by the side of the mother. But..."

"There are some things that you can't argue, let's talk about it from the heart!"

......

"No way!" Wu Zetian frowned, his old eyes were dull, as if he was experiencing the biggest decision in his life.

"No....."

"Or ...... Do you want me to think about it again? ”

......

"Good!" Wu Qi bowed and saluted, "When it's almost dusk, Erchen.... Retire! ”

There are some things that need to be given to the old lady a little time.

....

Wu Qi got out of the palace, and as soon as he got on Suzaku Street, he saw Wu Ning, as well as the brothers of the Wu family, waiting for him at the gate of the imperial city.

Wu Lao Shi's first reaction was to dodge, but he finally held back and moved crampedly in front of Wu Ning.

"Brother Jiu...."

"......" Wu Ning pursed his lips and smiled.

It's not bad, at least Wu Lao Shi can still stand now, which means that he can get through.

"Don't say anything, listen to me."

Glancing at the Wu family brothers, just now, Wu Ning had already replaced Wu Qi to show all the truth to the brothers.

As for the result, the result is that all the brothers are standing here.

"Listen to me."

Wu Ning stepped forward: "Yu Li! ”

"I, Wu Laojiu, am your stand-in, and I have borne so many years of suffering for you, and the lives of more than 400 people in the mountain pass have also died because of you, and you Wu Qi is the root of all this!"

"I should hate you, take revenge on you, and even kill you!"

"So ......"

When Wu Ning said this, he threw a punch with all his might, hitting Wu Qi's stomach.

Oh!!

Wu Lao Shi snorted, and immediately felt a painful bow into a shrimp, but when he looked at Wu Lao Jiu's eyes, he was a little relieved.

This punch is what he deserves.

And Wu Lao Ba, Lao Eleven, Seventh Brother and others, before Wu Qi straightened up, they stared at the scarlet eyes.

There are all kinds of examples, and they all follow Wu Laoshi's stomach, that is, they are ruthless.

Depend on!!

Wu Qi scolded secretly.

Originally, the incident started by him, and everyone beat him to death, and they couldn't relieve their anger.

Wu Lao Shi is also mentally prepared, even if everyone doesn't blame him, he wants to smoke himself by himself.

However, I really know when I greet you that this is.... It hurts!

Wu Lao Shi directly held his stomach and shrank to the ground, screaming, and did not forget to pop out a sentence in the interval:

"Forget about the process, let's talk about the point!"

"The point?"

Wu Ning smiled and squatted down, "The point is, compared to those hatreds, those grievances, and those unwillingness, I can't forget the past when everyone fished barefoot in the ditch down the mountain pass." ”

"I can't forget the hard days of fishing for brown rice in a pot, and I can't forget the unbearable feeling of being chased by the ancestor Jun all over the place."

"I can't forget it, we are brothers who came over in the wind and rain!"

"So, Yu Qing ......"

As he spoke, Wu Ning stretched out a hand to Wu Qi, who fell to the ground.

At the same time, there are also Wu Lao Ba and Lao Eleven......

All the Wu brothers, strong arms!

......
