From the first day of Wu Zetian's establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The East Palace is a sensitive and eventful place.

After the return of Li Xian, the king of Luling, he was made the crown prince and lived in the East Palace.

I can't live in fear.

On weekdays, I don't dare to make friends with anyone at all, and the East Palace has always been very deserted.

But half a month ago, the prince Li Xian, who has always been like a mouse and a cat fear, actually developed a rat gall.

entered the palace to raise a matter to Emperor Zetian, saying that he wanted to celebrate the birthday of the crown princess.

Emperor Zetian actually agreed.

After the permission, Li Xian returned to the East Palace.

Not only couldn't believe it, but his legs were still trembling,

For this, he was severely ridiculed by the crown princess, saying that he was a frightened bird without courage and strategy.

The prince was shocked and asked.

"Do you expect His Majesty to agree?

The crown princess said four words:

"Your Majesty is seriously ill."

......

So today's East Palace, the guests are like carp and lively.

The ministers' carriages were constantly coming and going.

Specially for the Crown Princess to celebrate the Crown Princess's birthday.

In order to avoid suspicion, many ministers only sent their wives to congratulate them, which makes sense from the perspective of etiquette.

But there are also many ministers who came in person, and the drunkards did not mean to drink, they all had the courage to come close to the prince.

has always been rich and dangerous, although the prince is currently in a weak position, but it is precisely because of this that it is even more "strange and livable".

If it really comes to the day when the crown prince ascends the throne as the emperor, I am afraid it will be too late.

Therefore, this princess's birthday banquet is like a big gamble.

Some people jumped into the jam with all their net worth and wanted to make a life-and-death gamble.

Some have to come because of their feelings, and when they come, they just watch the excitement, and they won't bet a penny.

Of course, there will be some people who not only come with a large amount of gambling money, but also plan in their hearts to take the entire casino for themselves.

For example, Wu Chenghe.

For example, Wu Chenghe.

Another example, Princess Taiping.

The appearance of Princess Taiping was greatly unexpected by most people.

As soon as Princess Taiping got out of the carriage, the crown princess hurriedly greeted her in person.

"The crown princess greeted her personally, and the palace was panicked."

Princess Taiping gave a generous salute.

"Princess Taiping is here, and the East Palace is shining."

The crown princess was secretly overjoyed in her heart, this was really unexpected!

Princess Taiping is not simple, the princess knows very well in her heart.

Immediately afterwards, another unexpected person appeared, Zhang Yizhi!

Zhang Yizhi is the face of the Emperor Zetian, and he has long been made public.

In other words, he is also the spokesperson of Emperor Zetian in the court now!

The situation in the East Palace.

Suddenly it became very subtle, very nervous.

Fortunately, all of us are people who have seen the world and pay attention to etiquette.

Even if the killing intent in his heart was already boiling, there was only a smile on his face.

Except for congratulating the crown princess on her birthday, nothing else is discussed.

Therefore, the atmosphere at the banquet was quite harmonious. At least on the surface.

The crown princess is certainly the central figure.

Accompanied by the crown prince, she kept accepting toasts and thanking the guests, and thanked them very earnestly.

Princess Taiping served the banquet, watching the princess's appearance and laughter, and infinite contempt and sympathy rose in her heart.

The reason for the disdain is that the crown princess is really a bad lord with too great ambition and too poor ability.

But she still thinks that Wen Taowu is omnipotent.

Sympathy is because the East Palace is really weak at the moment, and the crown princess is anxious to let the prince get up.

Everyone wants to win over everyone and everyone wants to tie up, which is why there is an embarrassing situation where Wu Chenghe, Zhang Yizhi and Princess Taiping are on the same scene today, and it is not difficult to see the sad situation of the East Palace.

But politics has always been a matter of life and death, and no one has ever been able to really do it without being offended.

Therefore, the embarrassment in front of you can easily turn into a big disaster, and it is even easier to hurt the innocent.

Don't forget, there's also a Zetian Emperor on it!

Thinking of this, a chill flashed in Princess Taiping's eyes.

Heaven is evil, and it is still violated; and thou shalt not live.

At this moment, the crown princess and the crown prince had already arrived at the banquet of Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping hurriedly got up and toasted, and then motioned for the crown princess to step aside and said in a low voice.

"Please change your clothes."

The voice was not loud or small, just enough for the prince and a few people next to him to hear.

These people all turned a blind eye......

The crown princess not only doubted him, but was also secretly happy.

Princess Taiping is taking the initiative to get close to me!

So in front of everyone's eyes, the crown princess and Princess Taiping disappeared together on the banquet.

Many people secretly exclaimed in their hearts: The crown princess, she really dared to die with one hand!

Wu Chengsi and Zhang Yizhi's eyes were even brighter, and they avoided the table and went to discuss in private.

What are your plans?!

In fact, Princess Taiping called the crown princess out, and she really didn't plan to have any special plots.

After changing clothes, Princess Taiping excused herself that she was too drunk and a little dizzy, and wanted to find a place to rest for a while.

As the proprietor, the crown princess was interested in making friends, so she stayed behind and sat down in the courtyard with Princess Taiping.

Just a short chat with parents.

But after all, the crown princess was thinking about the full house, and after sitting for a while, she invited Princess Taiping to go back with her.

Princess Taiping said that her head was even more dizzy, and she just wanted to stay here alone to rest.

The crown princess was in a dilemma, so she had to stay here and continue to chat with Princess Taiping.

Nearly half an hour passed.

Princess Taiping felt that the heat was almost over, and returned to the banquet with the crown princess.

The moment she entered the house at the corner, Princess Taiping felt it clearly.

Almost everyone in the room looked at her, and the scene was abruptly quiet for a few minutes.

Princess Taiping was calm and calm, and raised her eyes to look at Zhang Yizhi.

Inexplicably smiled at him.

Almost all the guests in the room saw this smile.

Zhang Yizhi's heart tightened, why did the demon woman laugh at me?

……

Could it be that you have just set up a plot to kill me?!

After the banquet dispersed, Zhang Yizhi's first one left the banquet and rushed to the palace in a car.

......

Li Xingzhou was indeed a little interested by Mrs. Cui's words, frowned, and asked.

"You're saying someone is going to kill Li Hunyang?"

"That's right!"

"How so?"

Mrs. Cui not only did not answer, but smiled and whispered.

"I have helped Shanhou many times, but Shanhou has not repaid me at all, and only let the slave family do things for you for free?"

"Shut up! What qualifications do you have to bargain with my family? ”

Li Baishi became more and more annoyed and said angrily.

"You are a sinner's daughter, a sinner's wife, and now you can move freely is the greatest gift that Shanhou has given you, you need to know enough!"

"Right now, you'd better know everything."

"If you dare to be coquettish and bargain, I will ....... with a knife"

"Uh...... I mean, girls don't have to be so angry! ”

Mrs. Choi was obviously frightened.

She has always had a hand in dealing with men, but in the face of a female man like Li Baishi, it is obviously ...... No more!

"Li Baishi must not be rude. If Mrs. Cui has anything to say, she might as well say it at once. ”

Li Xingzhou secretly laughed at himself, Li Baishi's rush is at the right time, I want to be mad.

But being mad at someone like Mrs. Cui is really a bit of a loss of identity for me!

Mrs. Cui had no choice but to tell the truth......

"Marquis Shan, maybe you know Wu Youyi, but you don't know that Zhao family."

"The two of them have been husband and wife for ten years, and they are all the way to each other."

"Wu Youyi is certainly unscrupulous and vicious, but that Zhao seems to be kind, but in fact she is more ruthless and spicy than Wu Youyi, the king of Jian'an, and she is also extremely good at disguise."

"Wu Youyi once told me that sometimes he was a little scared, afraid that he would be killed by the Zhao family as soon as he fell asleep."

After listening to this, Li Xingzhou thought for himself and said that the Zhao family had scheming and did not need Mrs. Cui to add certification.

On that day, she only whispered in the ear of Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi, which completely changed the position of Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi.

But whether the Zhao family is vicious or not, it is very likely that Mrs. Cui planted it out of jealousy.

Li Baishi sneered, and turned his head, not bothering to refute and reprimand this Mrs. Cui.

scolded in my heart: Tell right and wrong, boring woman!

"This case has been understood, and the relevant people have been handed over to Lin Shihong to take away, and I just can't take care of it if I want to."

Li Xingzhou said lightly.

"Still, thank you to Mrs. Cui for telling me this. If it's okay, Mrs. Cui can go back now. ”

"Finished?"

Mrs. Cui sneered.

"I don't think so!"

"What do you mean?"

"A hundred-legged worm, dead but not stiff."

Mrs. Choi said.

"Don't underestimate Li Hunyang too much."

"What do you mean by this upside down?"

Li Xingzhou scolded a little annoyed.

"After a while, I said that the Zhao family was ruthless and would kill Li Hunyang."

"After a while, he said that this matter has not yet been understood, and Li Hunyang still has a follow-up move?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is there a conflict between the two?"

Mrs. Cui argued-for-tat.

"Li Hunyang has a back move, but the Zhao family won't let him use this back move, that's what it means!"

Li Xingzhou frowned.

"Li Hunying, what else can he do?"

"Marquis Shan, you boast of being wise in vain, you haven't thought about it, what will happen if Lin Shihong and Li Hunyang collude?"

Mrs. Choi said.

Li Xingzhou's heart was shocked!

Li Baishi was also stunned.

"How is this possible?"

"Why can't it be?"

Mrs. Choi retorted.

"Hidden Pavilion!"

Li Xingzhou couldn't help frowning.

"You know so many things?"

Mrs. Choi smiled and reached into her bandeau breast.

Almost the whole thing is exposed.

.......

The princess entered the palace alone.

Before that, she hadn't seen her mother for a long time.

How long exactly?

Princess Taiping almost forgot about it. Maybe a month or two, maybe more than 100 days, and it seems to be as long as half a year.

During this time, not only Princess Taiping, but almost all the civil and military ministers rarely saw Her Majesty the Empress.

She has been hiding in the deep palace with her illness, just like the old age of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.

The difference is that Emperor Gaozong still had a queen of heaven and a group of trusted prime ministers to run state affairs for him.

Today, above the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are only two milky children with undried faces and teeth and claws.

Many people believe that the Eye Nation is facing a huge crisis.

In case the empress really dies in the harem, who else can know except Erzhang?

Think about it in a more sinister place, if the two dogs have the audacity to kill the empress.

And then he himself stole power in the name of the empress.

And what should I do?

Therefore, Princess Taiping entered the palace today to pay New Year's greetings, in addition to fulfilling etiquette, there is also an important political purpose.

Before entering the palace, she had already had a secret conversation with Prime Minister Renjie.

Even the worst has been prepared.

If the empress fails to show up today, a mutiny on the side of the "Qing monarch" is inevitable.

Princess Taiping dressed in court costume, and Yongrong walked on the dragon tail road of the Vientiane Divine Palace.

At the end of Longwei Road, there were many people standing, except for the empress's henchmen and close attendants.

Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Changzong and Wu Chengsi are all there.

Princess Taiping paid special attention to the thousand-horse general who was wearing a military uniform and leading a thousand horsemen to guard the Vientiane Shrine.

It's Wu Heizong.

"Weichen Zhang Yizhi, on the order of Emperor Zetian, is here to welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping!"

Zhang Yizhi was the first to rush forward to greet him.

The others followed suit.

"There is labor."

Princess Taiping smiled politely.

"Where is the Emperor of Heaven?"

"His Majesty the Emperor Zetian is in the room, waiting for His Highness for a long time."

Zhang Yizhi looked very humble and replied seriously.

Princess Taiping didn't say anything more, and walked towards the hall.

"Your Highness, slow down!" sheet

Yi Zhi suddenly stretched out his hand to stop it.

"What?"

Princess Taiping tried to be as calm as possible.

"Then the Emperor of Heaven personally decreed that it is inconvenient to go out when I am infected with the cold, and it is not appropriate to contact others so as not to infect the disease."

"Today's palace meeting will stop at the end of the day, and the princess, prince and others will greet you outside the palace gate."

Zhang Yizhi said.

Princess Taiping's heart twisted, could it be that my mother really had an accident?!

"Your Highness, you might as well say hello loudly outside the palace gate, and the Emperor will hear it."

Zhang Yizhi continued.

"Weichen will also transfer the gifts brought by His Royal Highness to Emperor Zetian."

Princess Taiping was silent for a moment.

"What if this palace insists on seeing Emperor Zetian?"

"Then the Emperor of Heaven has issued an edict, and Weichen has the responsibility to persuade him."

Zhang Yizhi replied.

"If this palace doesn't listen to you, what should I do?"

Princess Taiping said again.

Zhang Yizhi smiled bitterly, but turned his face sideways and gestured to Wu Sizong and the others who were standing on the side with his eyes.

Whispered.

"Weichen is also acting on orders, and please don't embarrass Your Highness."

"How dare you threaten Hongu?"

Princess Taiping sneered and raised her hand to point at Wu Heizong.

"Get out of the way!"

Wu Sizong stood with his waist crossed in a military uniform, his face expressionless and his eyes did not squint, unmoved.

Princess Taiping stroked her sleeves angrily and walked inward with her feet raised.

Wu Sizong stepped forward to stop him, and the armor soldiers behind him also stepped forward.

stood in a row and blocked the entire palace gate entrance.

"Bold!"

Princess Taiping shouted angrily.

"For more than 20 years, no one has dared to stop the palace from entering and exiting the forbidden center! You're tired of all of them! ”

Wu Sizong and the others still stood still.

All of them are like mud puppets, dead or alive just don't give way.

At this time, Wu Chengsi stepped forward and whispered.

"Your Highness is angry. Why the tension? ”

"Since the Emperor of Heaven has a decree, we should follow it."

"Shall I wait?"

Princess Taiping snorted.

"Wu Chenghei, what qualifications do you have to compare with this palace? Shall I wait? - Such words are also worthy of you to say?! ”

Wu Chengsi's expression froze, and he swallowed a sullen breath and stepped aside.

Skimming his face and putting on a cold-eyed expression, he didn't say anything more.

"Wait a minute, listen up. Today, Princess Taiping must meet His Majesty the Emperor Zetian. I will bear any consequences. Princess Taiping said loudly.

"Whoever dares to stop me, I will kill him."

When everyone heard this, they shrugged and changed color.

Princess Taiping strode forward.

Wu Sizong and the others retreated step by step.

Zhang Changzong shouted.

"Stop her!"

Who dares to stop me! "Princess Taiping is really angry now.

Stretching out his hand, Wu Sizong, who was close at hand, pulled out the saber from his waist.

No sooner had the knife come out of its sheath than a deep and majestic voice came from within.

"Taiping, rude!"

Princess Taiping was stunned and stunned.

"Inside the Danqi, how can you be allowed to collide with the guards and dance with swords? - Don't retreat yet! ”

That's right, that's the mother's voice. Princess Taiping could never have heard it wrong.

"Bang Dang"

With a bang, Princess Taiping threw the knife on the ground, and the person also fell to his knees.

"That's it, forgive your innocence."

Wu Zetian's voice still came, only listening to her.

"I already know your intentions for coming here. It's just that I'm cold, so it's inconvenient to see you. ”

"That's the end of today's business. You go back first! ”

"Yes...... Sons and daughters retire! ”

Princess Taiping stood up.

turned around and glanced coldly at Zhang Yizhi, Wu Chengsi and others who were present.

Step by step, he walked down the dragon tail road.

She held her head up and her chest up, and walked unhurriedly.

She felt that the eyes of everyone behind her were like cold swords.

Pressed against his back.

She felt even more that today was the Emperor of Heaven.

is no longer the mother who would hold her and put her to sleep.

Tears blurred his eyes.

Her gait was still graceful, but her expression was dejected.

She was moaning shallowly......

"The Emperor of Heaven is the Emperor of Zetian, and the mother is the mother."

"They are no longer the same person."

"Li Xingzhou, come back quickly!"
