Princess Taiping traveled day and night, and returned to Beijing quickly, but she was still one step too late.

Just the day before she returned to the capital, Wu Zetianxing ascended the throne ceremony, changed the name of the country to "Zhou", and officially became a generation of empresses.

The holy queen of the Tang Dynasty finally became the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

......

After returning to Beijing, the first thing Taiping did was of course to enter the palace to meet and congratulate his mother.

However, as soon as she entered the palace, Her Royal Highness the princess couldn't help but be stunned.

She didn't expect that not only Wu Zetian was here, but also Li Dan, the king of Yu, Wu Chenghei, and Wu Sansi, the king of Liang, were all in the palace.

"You're back!"

Wu Zetian said lightly, with no joy or sorrow on his face.

This made Princess Taiping even more puzzled, shouldn't her mother be happy when she first became a treasure? Why don't you see a smile?

"Taiping, please meet His Majesty the Holy Martial God Emperor."

"The return date is delayed, and my daughter is dead!"

"Hmm." Wu Zetian responded, "The road is changeable, I don't blame you." ”

"Step aside, and you can listen too!"

Taiping: "......"

What to listen to? Could it be that when the new emperor was first established, something big happened?

But why did you deliberately let me sit in on it?

Taiping was full of doubts and quietly stepped aside.

Taking advantage of this, she glanced at the few people present again.

Li Dan's face was bitter, as if he was in a hurry.

Wu Sansi was an old god, he closed his eyes and didn't say anything, and he couldn't see any clues at all.

It's Wu Chenghe......

At this time, Wu Chenghe's face was full of sadness, and there were three points of resentment, and his face was the most unkind.

......

Hehe, Wu Chenghe's face can be good.

At the beginning, he was the one who looked forward to Wu Zetian's accession to the throne the most, but now that the old lady has really become the emperor, he is also the most disappointed person!!

Li Dan gave way, and although he was crowned the prime minister, he still lived in the East Palace.

Li Xian got rid of the name of the abolished emperor and also made the king of Chu.

Li Xian even went so far as to jump directly from Shuren to King Wei.

Even his brother Wu Sansi became the king of Liang, but he Wu Chenghei was not as good as Wu Sansi, and he only crowned a king of Yu who was neither high nor low.

This is too far from Wu Chenghe's expectations, he is the heir of the martial family! It's a man who is inspired to inherit the unification!!

But now, it seems...... The crown prince is getting farther and farther away from him.

If everyone's position in Wu Zetian's heart is determined according to the level of the throne, then Li Dan, Li Xian, Li Xian, and even Wu Sansi are all ranked ahead of him.

How could Wu Chengji be happy?

Moreover, I don't know why, every time I think of the throne and who the heir after the old lady will be, Wu Chenghei can't help but think of the figure in Fangzhou - Wu Ning!

Not long ago, he learned a truth, a shocking secret that he couldn't accept:

Wu Ning, the prince who has been incognito and has been hiding among the people for sixteen years......

He is still alive, he is still alive in the sight of Mrs. Wu, and he is quite favored.

This made Wu Chenghe's idea of the throne even more gloomy.

"Heir!"

Wu Chengsi was thinking about it, and Wu Zetian's soft voice pulled Wu Chengsi back.

"The minister is here."

"Taiping, let's talk to her about the ins and outs first!"

"Yes."

"What's wrong?" Princess Taiping looked dazed, and naturally looked at Wu Chenghe.

I saw Wu Chengsi take a deep breath, "A few days ago, Chengsi received a secret report. ”

"What secret?"

"Helan Minzhi is still alive!" Wu Chengsi said in a deep voice, "And in Fangzhou, it is the owner of the inn where Her Royal Highness the princess lives!" ”

"This ......"

Princess Taiping's face turned white with a brush.

The first reaction was to look at Wu Zetian, but the old lady couldn't give her any useful information now, and still looked at everyone expressionlessly.

"How is this possible?"

Princess Taiping forcibly calmed herself.

"Where did you get the news from my brother? But don't make something out of nothing, there is someone who has a heart to deal with the mystery set up by his mother's accession to the throne, right? ”

"That's what Cheng Hei thought at first." Wu Chengsi echoed, "Therefore, I didn't dare to play until Your Majesty ascended the throne, for fear of disrupting the great cause of ascending the throne." ”

"I don't dare to ignore it these days, so I can only investigate secretly and find that it is not untrue."

"In addition, I went to Fangzhou last year, and I had a relationship with the ugly man who was looking for Cuiju. Thinking back to the beginning, although the person's appearance was ruined, his body shape and movements were indeed somewhat similar to Minzhi back then. ”

"Therefore, as soon as Your Majesty's ceremony is completed, the heir will no longer dare to hide it and play it truthfully."

Wu Chengsi had obviously prepared his rhetoric a long time ago, and it was clear and irrefutable.

Taiping's heart sank, never expecting that he would face such a situation as soon as he returned to Beijing.

Glancing at Wu Zetian, he knew that the old lady couldn't express her position at this time, so she left herself, probably trying to use her mouth to mediate.

I had to put on a look of surprise and muttered, "So, Brother Min...... Not dead? ”

On the side, Li Dan took over the conversation, and his face was also stunned, "The world is impermanent, it's been sixteen years this time, right?" ”

Wu Sansi heard this, and then teased, "King Xiang is afraid that he has made a mistake, right?" Punish the eldest brother of Minzhi, it was nine years ago! ”

Smile playfully, "Sixteen years ago? Could it be that King Xiang is talking about the lost child in the palace? ”

"This ......" Li Dan was speechless for a while, but he did not deny it or admit it.

"What are you doing!?" Princess Taiping shouted, "How many years has my mother repented about what happened back then?" Isn't that enough? Why do you have to mention it again? ”

"This...."Wu Sansi said bitterly, "The princess is not strange, this king actually doesn't want to mention it, it's really..."

"You and I really know that there is a sixteen-year-old boy in Xuncui Curie, so we can't help but think about it."

"Besides." Wu Sansi secretly glanced at Wu Zetian, "Besides, that young man.... It seems to be exactly the ninth. ”

"......" is irrefutable.

Ranked ninth, if Wu Ning had not been in exile, then he would indeed be ninth among Gaozong's many sons.

"Your Majesty!"

Wu Sansi saw that Taiping didn't speak, arched forward, and faced Wu Zetian.

"According to the minister's opinion, whether it is true or not, the ugly man should be arrested first, don't forget to ......"

"Helan Minzhi still has several charges on his back!"

"Uh-huh!?" Old Lady Wu's expression finally changed, and she glared at Wu Sansi viciously, and it was fleeting.

Then he regained his composure and continued to speak.

The old lady was actually very surprised, she didn't expect that the first problem she faced on the first day of her ascension to the throne was actually this incident.

She wondered who would leak the news?

......

"It's a bit too much." Wu Chengsi followed Wu Sansi's words and took over the conversation.

"When Min Zhi was sentenced to justice, my aunt was also forced by the heavy pressure of the court, so she couldn't do it. Now that Minzhi's appearance is ruined, no one can recognize him, so why should our own family be so serious? ”

"According to the Heir's Opinion....."

took a step forward and asked Wu Zetian tentatively.

"Why don't you send someone to bring Minzhi back? How to deal with it in the end, it's better to think in the long run! ”

Wu Zetian: "......"

The old lady still didn't speak, but after listening to Wu Chenghe's words, her expression changed.

Heart: Take it back..... It doesn't seem bad either......

At least that bastard boy is under his nose, saving him from provoking any merchant woman and losing the face of his ancestors.

......
