Zichen Palace.

Wu Liangfu stood respectfully beside him, while Li Zhi, who was supposed to be in poor health, had a ruddy face and sat on the couch with Empress Wu without any illness.

After a moment, Li Zhi looked at the fold in his hand and asked.

"How's going on over there?"

"Back to Your Majesty, no one in the political hall continues to come to ask for a meeting, it is said that Prime Minister Xu has sent someone to the East Palace to inquire, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is closed, and now several ministers have sent people to Honglu Temple to find out the facts!"

Wu Liangfu's voice carried a hint of schadenfreude.

Obviously, he is not optimistic about the measures made by Xu Jingzong, and if he thinks about it, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the courage to completely ban Honglu Temple, how can he care about the criticism of the Political Affairs Hall?

"What about Dali Temple?"

Li Zhi didn't have the slightest smile on his face, but a trace of worry flashed, and he continued to ask.

"There is no movement in Dali Temple, but this morning, Di Sicheng led people to search up and down Honglu Temple, but it is not clear whether there is an old slave found, but since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believes in him so much, he must not return empty-handed!"

This time, Wu Liangfu put away the smile on his face and replied respectfully.

It's just that he couldn't help but look up and secretly look at the emperor's expression......

"Mei Niang, do you say that within three days, Hong'er will really be able to find out the truth of the matter?"

Looking at the secret letter presented by Li Hong last night in his hand, Li Zhi's face was not very good-looking.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, rest assured, Hong'er has always had a steady temperament, this time to make such a big fuss, it must be certain, but the concubine is more concerned about another matter......"

Unlike Li Zhi, Empress Wu's face was very relaxed, as if she didn't care about Li Hong's ban on Honglu Temple.

It's just that when the last sentence was spoken, a trace of fierceness suddenly flashed on Empress Wu's face.

"You mean yesterday's assassination?"

Li Zhi's eyes also narrowed, and his expression suddenly became a little colder.

Although after yesterday's assassination, Li Hong immediately banned Honglu Temple to prevent the spread of news, but you must know that not all the people present at that time were Li Hong's people, and Yan Shansi would definitely report it to Li Zhi as soon as possible for such a big incident as the assassination of the eldest son of the Turks.

What's more, Li Hong didn't think about hiding this matter from Li Zhi, the reason why he blocked the news was just because he didn't want to make a storm in the city.

"Well, the concubine underestimated this Turkic enemy chieftain this time, but I didn't expect that even Xian'er was played with by him, but I'm afraid that now Xian'er still thinks that he is just cooperating with him to clear his suspicions, and he doesn't realize that he has become a sharp blade for him to kill people with a knife!"

Empress Wu's voice was a little cold, and there was also a bit of hatred for iron and steel.

However, only those who know the Empress Wu will know that this is a manifestation of her true anger, I am afraid that this time Ashina Fu Nian really made a mistake.

This queen mother, what she hates most in her life is that others dare to use her son......

"Xian'er was indeed taken advantage of this time, but Hong'er didn't do it properly enough, banning such a thing as Honglu Temple, and not discussing it with me in advance, even if I can read him forgivingly, one or two, but when it comes to the court meeting two days later, the courtiers will not be silent on this matter!

At that time, even if he finds out the case, I'm afraid this bold hat will not be able to escape! ”

Li Zhi's voice was a little angry, and at the same time a little worried.

Indeed, this matter is really too big, Honglu Temple is one of the nine temples after all, even if it is banned on the grounds of investigating the case, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the courtiers in the end.

What's more, I don't know how sure Li Hong is, and he can investigate the case clearly, so how can Li Zhi not worry?

"Well, Your Majesty's mention of this reminds the concubine that it is a difficult thing for this courtier to criticize, if you don't control it a little, I'm afraid that when you can't wait for the court meeting, Xu Xiang and a few of them won't be able to hold on!"

Empress Wu's brows furrowed slightly, and she spoke softly.

Now that this matter has spread out, it is inevitable that the East Palace will be impeached by the courtiers, although Li Hong has also been impeached a lot in the past, but this time it is different, after all, this time there is real evidence.

Li Hong's East Palace is still guarding the gate of Honglu Temple, and no one is allowed to enter or leave except for the personnel investigating the case in Dali Temple......

In this way, even if it takes three days, I am afraid that the impeachment in the political hall will be piled up, and even if Xu Jingzong and others don't want to enter the palace to inquire about this matter, they will have to come, after all, the prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, and since he has the dignity of a hundred officials, he naturally has to take some responsibility.

After a pause, Empress Wu turned to Wu Liangfu and said.

"In this way, Wu Liangfu, you immediately go to pass the decree, reappoint Shangguan Wan'er as the personal female official of the five grades, and serve the palace, remember, this will should be sent to the political hall first, let Xu Xiang cover the big seal of the province of Shangxia, and then stamp the seal of His Majesty and the phoenix seal of the palace!"

"Obey the will of the mother!"

Wu Liangfu bowed slightly, but he took the order and left.

However, Li Zhi was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he understood what Empress Wu meant......

…………

Yongwang's Mansion.

"What do you say? Say it again! ”

Li Xian's face was extremely gloomy, and he couldn't see that he was still proudly mocking the ignorance of the East Palace just now.

"Back to Your Highness, news has just come that Your Majesty ordered Shangguan Wan'er, who was not in the court, to be reappointed as the personal female official of the queen's mother!"

The little guy below was trembling under Li Xian's terrible tone, but he still held on to reply.

"You go down first!"

The man in Tsing Yi on the side didn't look surprised, but waved his hand calmly and said comfortingly.

"Lord Wang, calm down!"

"Sir, what does this will mean?

It's just the identity of a sinner, and the recovery will be restored, but who doesn't know that Shangguan Wan'er was confiscated into the court in order to help the East Palace, and now she is promoted again, and she has used such a big battle, I heard that the will is also covered with the three major seals of the province and the father and the queen mother, which is not a good sign! ”

Li Xian calmed down, but his expression couldn't help but be a little more anxious, and he couldn't stop worrying in his tone.

However, the man in Tsing Yi still had a calm and calm look, and said slowly.

"Your Majesty's will at this moment is naturally to share the pressure for the East Palace!"

"Shangguan Wan'er is just a female official, to put it bluntly, the matter of the harem, as long as the queen's mother passes on an edict, why bother to move the people so much, but the prince must know that the East Palace is the East Palace after all, and sending the edict to the political hall is nothing more than to announce to the hundred officials that the status of the East Palace is stable, so that they don't move when they hear the wind and fall into the ground!"

The man in Tsing Yi shook the folding fan gently, but his voice became slightly serious.

Seeing that Li Xian's face suddenly became a little ugly, the man in Tsing Yi chuckled lightly and spoke.

"Don't worry, although Your Majesty and Niangniang are like this, but the ban on Honglu Temple is not a trivial matter after all, and the court discussion of hundreds of officials can only be suppressed slightly at most, and when it comes to the court meeting, even if it is Your Majesty and Niangniang, I am afraid that it will not be able to protect His Royal Highness the Prince.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still can't come up with an explanation that satisfies everyone, then His Highness has a good opportunity......" (To be continued.) )
