The night was already a little deep, the wind was not strong, but it was a little cool on the body, especially after drinking, as soon as the wind blew, Li Hong couldn't help but shiver, his nose itched, and a sneeze couldn't hold back and broke out.

"Your Highness, the night is cold, please add some clothes."

Wang Dequan just served Li Hong and got off the soft rut, and when he saw that Li Hong was cold, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly took off his robe, and wanted to add it to Li Hong.

"No need, it's okay."

Although Li Hong admired Wang Dequan's loyalty, he did not accept his kindness, smiled and stretched out his hand to block, and said casually, but the footsteps kept going up the steps and went to the hall, the footsteps were extremely relaxed, obviously in a very good mood, of course, this good mood was not because of Li Xian's wedding, but because of the happiness of the current situation in his hands - since Gaozong gave power before the month, Li Hong has been the official regent, and the affairs of the big and small are only self-determined, and there is no need to go through the review of the Empress Wu, all the zaifu are all in their hearts, and the younger brothers surrender, Everything went smoothly, and there was no sense of restraint at all, and Li Hong had plenty of reasons to be excited.

"Your Highness, take the steps carefully."

When Wang Dequan saw that Li Hong's footsteps were a little floating, he didn't dare to slack off, he didn't care about putting on the robe that he had taken off again, and hurriedly caught up with Li Hong, stretched out his hand, and reminded him carelessly.

"Well, Lone is happy today, I'm afraid I can't sleep, so I'll go to the study to change some folds, so you don't have to wait, you can go and rest."

Li Hong let Wang Dequan be courteous, slowly walked up the steps, and suddenly remembered that Li Xian was afraid that he was in the midst of "enjoying happiness" at this time, and his heart was hot, and he had the heart to call Lin Yi to come to meet, but he was worried that there would be many people, so he stood still, waved his hand to the people around him, and commanded in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes, slaves and maidservants obey His Highness's orders."

Although all the attendants followed Li Hong to Li Xian's wedding banquet, they were only spectators, and the banquet was naturally not the turn of everyone to enjoy.

"It's good to sit alone, and then go and invite Mr. Lin here."

As soon as he entered the study, Li Hong didn't wait to sit down, and he was a little impatient to tell Wang Dequan to invite Lin Yi to come and meet.

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

Wang Dequan is the most confidant in front of Li Hong, and he knows the ambiguous relationship between Lin Yi and the prince, although he doesn't agree with it, he doesn't dare to say anything, so he can only answer in a hurry and summon Lin Yi without mentioning it.

"Grandpa Chen, what are you doing here? Lone did not summon Yuer! ”

Soon after Wang Dequan went, there was a sudden sound of rather mixed footsteps outside the door of the study, Li Hong only knew that it was not Lin Yi as soon as he heard it, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he raised his eyes to look over, but saw that it was Chen Dayong, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, who led several small eunuchs out of the screen, his heart sank, his face instantly drooped, and he unceremoniously reprimanded.

"Your Highness and other people are afraid that they won't be able to come, the long night is lonely, the old slave is afraid that His Highness will hurt himself after drinking, so he specially prepared some sobering soup and asked His Highness to give him a face."

Chen Dayong is a confidant sent to the East Palace by the Empress Wu, his mission is to monitor the prince, and the relationship between the prince is naturally extremely poor, in previous years, Li Hong had scruples, and did not dare to take Chen Dayong, but since the regency of Li Hong, Chen Dayong's life has been sad, although he still has the official title of the head of the East Palace, but he was sent by Li Hong to the clean room, and he managed the work of pouring the toilet, which can be said to be extremely humiliating.

"Presumptuous, bold slave, dare to talk to this palace like this, come on!"

As soon as he heard Chen Da say this unkindly, Li Hong's heart instantly sank to the bottom, but he refused to give in, slapped the table, yelled, and tried to summon the guards on duty outside.

"Your Highness is calling someone, don't bother."

Chen Dayong didn't care about Li Hong's anger at all, glanced at Li Hong with pity, said disdainfully, and then, with a clap of his hands, two little eunuchs dragged Wang Dequan, who was already unknown to life and death, from outside, and threw Wang Dequan in front of Li Hong.

"Wait, wait...... Good dog thief, dare to treat orphans like this, bastard things, are you going to rebel? ”

As soon as he saw Wang Dequan fall in front of him, Li Hongden was anxious, and hurriedly leaned over to take Wang Dequan's snort, only to find that Wang Dequan was already dead, his heart was shocked, he jumped up suddenly, pointed at Chen Dayong, and scolded angrily.

"Your Highness has drunk too much, why don't you wait for Your Highness to sober up!"

Chen Dayong ignored Li Hong's madness at all, waved his hand, and gave the order lightly.

"No!"

As soon as Chen Da's voice fell, several little eunuchs rushed up, regardless of the fact that Li Hong was pressed down on a few sons, and Li Hong was unable to move with his hands and feet, and a little eunuch holding a wine pot rushed forward, and pushed the spout of the pot hard against Li Hong's teeth, and the handle of the pot was slanted, and the wine inside was poured into Li Hong's mouth.

"Wait, wait, well, be a lonely ghost and spare it, hmm, spare it, don't spare it, hmm, it's too ......"

Li Hong's body has always been weak, and under the pressure of the four little eunuchs, he didn't even have the strength to struggle, and he was forced to be poured a stomach full of wine, and his muscles were so painful that his muscles burst out, and he cursed vaguely in his mouth, but unfortunately he didn't scold for long, and he couldn't breathe anymore in one breath, and a stream of black blood drooped down the corners of his mouth, and his hands and feet twitched a few times, and he died.

"Your Highness is already a stinger."

After Li Hong stopped struggling, a little eunuch stretched out his hand to test Li Hong's snort, and seeing that there was no longer the slightest breath in and out, he hurriedly stood up, bowed to Chen Dayong, and hurried to report.

"Well, clean up this place!"

Chen Dayong did not fully believe the little eunuch's report, but personally leaned over and put a hand on Li Hong's wrist, and saw that Li Hong had no pulse, so he stood up with satisfaction, smiled coldly, dropped an order, turned around, and hurried out of the study and rushed in the direction of the training gate......

The time is coming to an end, the night is already very deep, Wan Lai is silent, the huge imperial city in addition to the Wuyun Palace, has been a piece of death, in the main bedroom of the Qianyuan Palace, because of a few more drinks and sleepy Gaozong has already been sleeping and snoring, since he does not know that the original sleeping Empress Wu has already quietly left, of course, the Empress Wu has not gone far, the person is still in the palace, but in the front hall.

Qianyuan Hall as the main hall of the harem, its front hall is quite open, if it looks like the day, it has a majestic style, but if it is a dead night, people stay in it, it is inevitable that there is some frightening emptiness, but then the Empress Wu does not care at all, or is not in the mood to pay attention to such a little palpitating black, sitting alone silently on the dragon bed, waiting quietly, not moving, just like a clay carved wood sculpture.

"Puff, puff, puff......"

A slightly messy footsteps suddenly sounded at the dark temple gate, and the originally expressionless Empress Wu instantly raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were as sharp as knives and swept towards the temple door, with a faint hint of nervousness and anticipation between her eyebrows.

"Yu Niangniang, everything has been done."

The person who came in from outside the hall was Chen Dayong, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, and when he saw the fierce eyes of the martial queen, Chen Dayong couldn't help but panic, and his body trembled involuntarily, but he didn't dare to have the slightest slackness, sped up his pace and grabbed the front pier, bowed down, lowered his head, and whispered.

"Well, let's get started."

Although Chen Dayong didn't say clearly that the matter had been done, Empress Wu obviously understood the meaning inside, his face turned slightly pale in an instant, and even though he returned to normal, he did not give an order immediately, but sat silently for a moment, and then exhaled lightly and commanded without a trace of emotion.

"Yes, the old slave obeys."

Chen Dayong obviously felt the chill emanating from Empress Wu's body, and the trembling of his body couldn't be stopped, but the response in his mouth was not slow at all.

"Smack, smack."

As soon as Chen Dayong left, the martial queen, who was originally sitting still, stood up suddenly, clapped his hands together, and made two crisp sounds, and then saw a black shadow appear on the uninhabited hall like a ghost, with the help of the light of the only lamp branch burning in the front pier, it could be vaguely seen that this person was Sun Quanfu, the young eunuch of the inner chamber.

"Go!"

Empress Wu quietly glanced at Sun Quanfu, who was standing with his hands down, and squeezed out two words from his teeth.

"No."

Sun Quanfu clenched his fists and responded neatly, his body only flickered, and the person had melted into the darkness.

"Hong'er, don't blame your mother for being ruthless, you brought it all on yourself, and your mother can't help it."

After Sun Quanfu went, Empress Wu did not leave in a hurry, but stood silently on the front pier, staring at the direction of the East Palace with both eyes, muttering in his mouth, there were faint tears flashing in the phoenix's eyes, but after all, he did not cry, and when he turned his gaze to the direction of the Wuyun Hall on the west side, it was already a solemn killing machine......

Yin Shi Zhengpai, the night is deep, it is the best time of the day to sleep, the entire imperial city has been immersed in sleep, even Li Xian, who has tossed all night in the Wuyun Palace, is already tired of falling asleep, no way, even if Li Xian is an iron character, under the gentle waiting of the second daughter, it has to turn into juice, "seven times in one night" is not so good, especially when the wine is high, physical exhaustion is inevitable, however, Li Xian did not completely sleep to death, a knock on the bedroom door just sounded, Li Xian's eyes suddenly opened......
