The Ziwei Palace at night is deep and mysterious, Wan'er's residence is just a small courtyard near the West Palace, and there is only a small bed in the warm pavilion, as well as a palace lamp that has been lit all the time.

Wan'er lies on the bed, her eyes staring at the palace lamp, in the dark night, everything is silent, Fluttershy is talking to Leader Xu outside, Leader Xu slowly enters the warm pavilion, Wan'er tries to sit up from the bed but is stopped by her hand.

"Don't move! I've been suffering from you these days! I knew that Keju was so guilty, I should have asked the queen not to let you participate, but now it's okay, you've been suffering these days, and the internal guards feel distressed when they look at it! Chief Xu said that she was quite old, and her words were serious and long-hearted, which made people feel extremely moved.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled lightly, shook her head and said: "Actually, Keju is very good, Yue Shilang and others all know the truth that 'plum blossom fragrance comes from the cold', what is the matter if I am bitter, everyone is bitter?" ”

Leader Xu smiled and said, "I know that Shangguan is a strong person, and I will definitely press you to win this Keju competition!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er smiled again and said, "Chief, there must be something wrong with you coming to me at night, right?" What do you have to do, but it doesn't matter, Wan'er can do it, and if she can't do it, she will do it for you, okay? ”

Leader Xu was slightly stunned, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Waiting for the edict, in fact, there is nothing wrong!" It's just that today in the Guanfeng Palace, I witnessed the meeting between Di Guolao and the Queen of Heaven, and my mood couldn't be calm for a long time, and I couldn't sleep at night, so I thought about saying a few words to the edict! ”

"Oh? Di Guo's old soldier is at home, did he come to see the queen today? Shangguan Wan'er said.

Chief Xu sighed lightly and said: "Wait for the edict, the recent turmoil in the capital, and the palace is even more noisy, in this case, everyone in the Manchu Dynasty is in danger, and even if Di Guolao is really sick, it will be difficult to recuperate with peace of mind!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly and didn't speak, the relationship between her and Xu Chihuang was actually not close, Xu Chihuang was Wu Zetian's confidant, and she couldn't help but be vigilant and careful when the two talked about these sensitive issues.

Chief Xu sighed for a while and said, "Several of our prime ministers have put their lives on this juju, do you know about the edict?" ”

"Ah......" Shangguan Wan'er exclaimed, a gleam flashed in her eyes: "Why did Leader Xu say that?" Wan'er really doesn't know about this, and hopes that the leader can speak out......"

Xu Chihuang even told Shangguan Wan'er all the feedback that Di Renjie had asked Wu Zetian to be a lobbyist, and then Di Renjie persuaded Li Zhaode and others to tell Shangguan Wan'er everything as it was, Shangguan Wan'er's face turned white in shock, and she sat up from the bed and said, "This ...... This...... Why is that? Why is that......"

Li Zhaode, Cen Changqian and several other prime ministers Shangguan Wan'er are the most familiar, and they have a lot of contact and dealings with Shangguan Wan'er on weekdays, Shangguan Wan'er has learned a lot from them, and they usually pay tribute to them with teacher courtesy.

Now they actually put their lives on the next Keju competition between the Neiwei Keju Army and the Princess Mansion Keju Army, which ...... It's unbelievable.

Xu Chihuang said: "Wait for the edict, don't be excited, listen to me tell you carefully!" Li Xiang and Cen Xiang both talk about the will of heaven, isn't it the will of heaven to win or lose? The queen of heaven believes in Buddhism, Buddhism talks about fate, isn't the victory or defeat of Keju also fate? Therefore, the Keju battle between the internal guard Keju Army and the princess's mansion has become a battle of fate, hey, this is really unexpected! ”

Shangguan Wan'er stared at the palace lantern in a daze, and she said for a long time: "Chief, Wan'er understands what you mean!" Rest assured, Li Xiang and Cen Xiang are all gentlemen, all are pillars of the country, Wan'er treats them as my teacher, this time Wan'er will definitely go all out in the Keju competition and do her best, hoping to win the princess's mansion Juju army! ”

Shangguan Wan'er said this, but the sadness on her face could no longer be dissolved. She's always been a Keju just a game, even if she participates in Kemari, it's because of her strong temperament.

In addition, she also knows one thing, that is, Wu Zetian's temperament is the same as strong, as long as it is a douju, the internal guard Keju army must not be ashamed, otherwise the queen of heaven will not be happy, so Wan'er practiced Keju hard and went into battle in person, so she wanted to further stabilize her position in Wu Zetian's heart.

But now Shangguan Wan'er felt extremely heavy in her heart, because she thought that a Keju match was related to the lives of several prime ministers, and she had heard that Wu Zetian had long regarded this Keju as the opportunity for the final showdown, and there must be more unexpected changes in the future, if the Neiwei Keju Army was defeated......

Xu Chihuang said: "Shangguan waits for the edict, you rest early, I want to talk to you and chat with you on this trip, I told you about it, I feel a lot more comfortable in my heart, and I will retire first!" ”

After Xu Chihuang finished speaking, she slowly retreated, Shangguan Wan'er stared at the palace lantern, and she was so stupid that she even forgot to greet Fluttershy to send her off.

Xu Chihuang is gone, where can Shangguan Wan'er still sleep? Lying on the bed, her eyes were as wide as brass bells, and her mind was full of thoughts and thoughts of many people and things.

She especially thought about her Shangguan family, which was also the prime minister's family back then, Wan'er's grandfather Shangguan Yi was a celebrity under the throne of Gaozong, and at that time he was convicted for offending the queen of heaven, so the whole family was killed, and Wan'er was also submerged into the court.

In the secluded court, Shangguan Wan'er refused to admit defeat since she was a child, and she endured humiliation and worked hard until she was discovered and cultivated by Wu Zetian, this process is undoubtedly painful, she can come to this day, and her contribution to today's status is also huge!

This is due to her own efforts, luck, and she was fortunate to meet the teacher to help her. Otherwise, she doesn't know what she would be now!

In a place like Yeyouting, Shangguan Wan'er now looks at her peers back then, many of them have died in humiliation, and most of those who did not die have become walking dead, and she often shuddes when she sees these people.

Therefore, when she sleeps, she lights a palace lamp most of the time, because she often wakes up in the middle of the night in nightmares, and if it is dark, she will be afraid and afraid, and then she can no longer sleep!

Just like today, her mind was completely confused now, she found that she was completely powerless about everything in front of her, she was very frightened, very helpless, because she didn't dare to imagine what would happen next, and at this moment, she was accompanied by at least one palace lamp, the dim light flickered in the darkness, illuminating only a palm-sized piece of the world.
