The next morning, the two brothers entered the palace together, and Xue Shao settled the eldest brother in Zuo Fengchenwei's official office to entertain him, and then personally entered the palace to report.

A court meeting is being held in the Hanyuan Palace, of course, it is presided over by Wu Zetian. Xue Shao could only go to the courtyard next to the Xuanzheng Palace, find the personal secretary of the queen of heaven to ask the queen of heaven about her itinerary today, and "make an appointment" to meet.

The Chambers are places dedicated to the management and distribution of documents sent by various states and counties, such as an archives bureau or document mailroom. In the past, it was inconspicuous here, but after Wu Zetian came to the court, all the female officials were selected to work here, and the twists and turns of the various yamen exchanges had to pass through the hands of these female officials before they could be handed over to Wu Zetian's hands, and these female officials were Wu Zetian's henchmen, and the status of the service court was particularly important - which pieces could reach the heavens as soon as possible, and which pieces would be postponed indefinitely or even mud cows into the sea, all in the hands of the female officials!

was originally just a female official in charge of harem affairs, but she became a group of upstarts in the court. Among them, the most conspicuous is of course Shangguan Wan'er, who is sixteen years old, captivating the country and the city, and is brilliant and astute.

It is also the person Xue Shao is looking forward to meeting here now.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the Jin Wuwei sergeant guarding the door stopped Xue Shao from entering.

"Who is it and what is the matter?" The sergeant asked Xue Shao coldly.

Jin Wuwei was responsible for the daily security and martial law in the southern ya, the palace and the city of Chang'an, and his functions were between the forbidden army and the government soldiers.

"I have something important to ask to see the diva." Xue Shao said.

"What are you doing when you want to see the queen of heaven?" The sergeant glanced up and down at the Huadian embroidered uniform on Xue Shao's body, and still said unceremoniously, "Since you are a person who is Fengchenwei, you should know the rules of the Dao." Either go to the court meeting, or wait for the queen of heaven to go to the court meeting and then go to the imperial study to ask for a meeting. ”

Xue Shao held back his temper and said calmly: "I just want to inform the queen's attendants first, and ask them to arrange an audience according to the queen's itinerary." If it is too late to make arrangements, important things will be delayed. ”

"Less nonsense, let's go!" The sergeant was unkind.

Xue Shao twisted his brows, and his soft-spoken face was like this in the palace, and it was easy to hit the wall and suffer a cold reception everywhere. Each yamen has its own rules for doing things, and those who meet good accommodation are lucky, and those who pick up chicken feathers as arrows can only consider themselves unlucky!

Unable to argue with a pawn in public, Xue Shao glanced at him coldly and was about to try his luck outside the imperial study to find the queen's attendant, when a person came out of it, and his voice was very sharp and high-pitched, "Yo, this is not General Xue!" ”

Xue Shao looked back and saw that a short, arched-backed, ugly-looking man was walking towards him, still wearing a Mingguang armor that didn't fit so well, just like the appearance of Bi Ma Wen's new official wearing an official uniform when he took office, and his appearance was quite funny.

Zuo Jin Wuwei Zuo Lang General, Wu Yizong.

"It turned out to be General Wu, fortunately!" Xue Shao arched his hand, thinking to himself, how could Wu Yizong be here? The pawn didn't let me in, could it be because he was inside?

"General Xue, why did you come here?" Wu Yizong said with a smile. But his smile was a little cold, which made Xue Shaodu mistakenly think that he was actually crying.

"I have some things I want to ask the Queen of Heaven, but I can't wait for the Queen of Heaven to go down, so I want to ask the Queen's close attendants to pass it on my behalf." Xue Shao said, "But this courtyard doesn't seem to be so easy to enter." ”

Wu Yizong kicked the pawn next to him, "Bastard things, General Xue dares to stop them!" ”

"Subordinates know their mistakes!" The pawn hurriedly begged for mercy.

Wu Yizong kicked the pawn twice, arched his hand to Xue Shao and said with a smile: "The subordinates are not sensible, General Xue don't blame - please!" ”

"Thank you!" Xue Shao returned the salute without saying much, and walked in directly.

Wu Yizong stared at Xue Shao's back, took a sip of saliva, and patted the pawn's shoulder again, "I've wronged you, and there will be a reward for turning back." ”

Xue Shao entered the courtyard and a eunuch came forward to question, and Xue Shao said that he was looking for Shangguan Wan'er. The eunuch didn't ask much, and directly took Xue Shao to an official office, and said, "General, this is the official office of the official office, please!" ”

"Si Yan?" Xue Shao couldn't help but smile, she hadn't seen her for two days, and she was promoted.

The door of the official office was closed, and Xue Shao knocked on the door.

"Nobody will be seen, something will happen later!" Shangguan Wan'er's voice came out from inside, quite powerful.

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood when he heard her voice, so he knocked on the door again, "Miss Shangguan, Xue Shao asks to see you." ”

"It's Xue Gongzi! …… I'm sorry, but please wait! ”

After a while, Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward to open the door, smiled and bowed to Xue Shao, "I don't know it's Xue Gongzi, please forgive me!" ”

Xue Shao's fiery eyes swept across her face, and she immediately twisted her brows, "Can I come in?" ”

"Please!"

In Shangguan Wan'er's official office, there are mountains of folds and files, but they don't seem to be messy at all. There is also a celadon vase next to the bookcase, which contains three February peach blossoms, which are fragrant and elegant, adding a little charm and vitality and aura to this case.

Shangguan Wan'er personally brought Xue Shao a couch, Xue Shao didn't sit down, and glanced at the door with no outsiders, Xue Shao said, "Why are you crying?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er was slightly stunned, quickly wiped her eyelids, and said with a forced smile: "It's nothing...... What's the matter with Xue Gongzi? ”

"My business is, why are you crying?" Xue Shao furrowed his brows.

"Xue Gongzi, it's really nothing!" Shangguan Wan'er said.

Xue Shao said indifferently: "Am I being nosy?" ”

"......" Shangguan Wan'er turned sideways to avoid Xue Shao's eyes, shook her head slightly, and said, "Childe, Wan'er is a person who lives in the inner court, and it is normal for her to be wronged occasionally. It's normal to hide and wipe a tear or two from time to time. ”

Xue Shao frowned, "Just because you have survived in the inner court for so many years, you have long cultivated the wisdom and tenacity that ordinary people do not have, so what can make you hide and cry is definitely not an ordinary grievance!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er turned sideways to Xue Shao, Yufeng had an obvious ups and downs, she took a deep breath, her voice became cold and distant, "Master Xue, if you don't have official business to say, please forgive Wan'er for not being able to accompany her for the time being." ”

"Okay......" Xue Shaoluo smiled and said, "My brother Xue Yi, the assassin of Jeju, has arrived in Beijing by the Holy Decree, and is waiting for the official office of Zuo Fengchen Weiben, please meet him." ”

"Wan'er will arrange it well, and won't let Xue Junhou wait for a long ......time," Shangguan Wan'er said in a businesslike tone, her voice very low.

"Thank you, farewell." Xue Shao arched his hand, turned around and walked out.

"Childe......" Shangguan Wan'er whispered behind him.

Xue Shao turned around, "Is there anything else wrong with Si Yan?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er turned around and faced Xue Shao, her tears had already reached her eyes, obviously she was pressing and holding back strongly, the corners of her mouth rose and she smiled and arched her hand to Xue Shao, "Please...... Good walk. ”

Xue Shao did not respond and continued to walk forward.

Shangguan Wan'er's two lines of tears flowed down her eyes.

Xue Shao walked to the door and stopped, stretched out his hand to cover the door, and walked towards Shangguan Wan'er reflexively.

Shangguan Wan'er was taken aback, and quickly turned around, waving her sleeves to wipe her tears.

Xue Shao walked half a step behind her and stopped, "Tell me, what happened?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, still just waving her sleeves and wiping her tears.

"Is it Wu Yizong?" Xue Shao's voice sank slightly, and he imagined in his heart that the decrepit man of Wu Yizong had done something wrong to Shangguan Wan'er, and he couldn't help but feel sick and angry.

Shangguan Wan'er still shook her head with her back to Xue Shao, hesitated, and then she took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Xue Shao.

Xue Shao took it and saw that it was two poems, the handwriting was beautiful and beautiful, the poetry style was soft and graceful, obviously a woman's love poem to her favorite man, the affection was vague and subtle, full of the youthful feelings of a girl who was just beginning to bloom.

"This is a poem you wrote to the former crown prince Li Xian before?" Xue Shao asked.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "The ...... that Wu Yizong brought from Fang Cai"

"Where did he get it?" Xue Shao frowned, probably knowing what was going on with Lu Dao.

"I don't know what to do." Shangguan Wan'er said, "Wu Yizong just came to send an invitation, and these two poems are sandwiched between the invitations. ”

"Whose advice? What kind of advice? Xue Shao asked.

"Liang Guogong, Wu Sansi." Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath, with a hint of tremor in her voice, "He asked me to attend the Qushui Liuzhen, Poetry and Wine Party he held at home. ”

Hearing this, Xue Shao couldn't understand anymore. Wu Sansi threatened Shangguan Wan'er to have something to do with Li Xian, and wanted to put Shangguan Wan'er "unspoken rules." ”

"Would you like to go?" Xue Shao said.

"If you want to go, why is Wan'er like this?" Shangguan Wan'er said, "Liang Guogong is the nephew of the Queen of Heaven, although Wan'er is also valued by the Queen of Heaven, but after all, she can't compete with her relatives. In the final analysis, the Queen of Heaven and Liang Guogong are a family, and Wan'er is just a slave or a plaything. No matter what Liang Guogong wants Wan'er to do, even if the queen of heaven knows the truth, he will not blame him deeply. Wan'er ...... What can I do? ”

Xue Shao listened to her words, obviously with the intention of asking for help.

Even if she doesn't ask for help, how can she let someone like Wu Sansi get involved with Shangguan Wan'er?!

Xue Shao stretched out a hand and gently put it on Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder.

Shangguan Wan'er's body trembled slightly, stood still, and did not hide.

"You're right, the Queen of Heaven and Wu Sansi are a family. No one cares what the master wants to do with the slaves and maids in the house. Xue Shao said, "But there is one person who can definitely help you." ”

"Childe is saying...... Her Royal Highness the Princess? Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly shook her head, "No, no!" If the queen of heaven knows about Wan'er and the former prince, maybe she will be punished together with Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Xue Shao gently patted Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder and said, "You and I are friends in the world, and the girl has helped me many times." Xue, it's time to reciprocate. ”

"Childe ......" Shangguan Wan'er said softly, "No matter whether you can really help Wan'er or not, with your words, Wan'er is enough to comfort her life!" ”

"Give me the advice!" Xue Shao let go of his hand and said.

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, then walked to the table and took out a copy of the invitation. Xue Shao spread it out and took a look, and Wu Sansi asked Shangguan Wan'er to come to his mansion at noon tomorrow to participate in the poetry and wine meeting.

"Farewell." Xue Shao took the invitation and bowed his hand and prepared to leave.

"Childe!" Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly called.

"Anything else?"

Shangguan Wan'er's teary eyes were not dry, her eyes were red, and she said quickly: "This matter can be big or small, and it is quite dangerous, so the son should leave it alone!" I think I'm just a slave after all......"

"I'm done!" Xue Shao smiled slightly, opened the door and strode out.
