Seven years, Sun Jieyu and her daughter Li Qinglian, the princess of Jinchi, who were once favored by Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong, have been relegated to Lanzhou Palace for seven years, Li Zhi has forgotten their mother and daughter, and has never summoned them in the past seven years, and has never called their mother and daughter back to Chang'an for reunion during the New Year, and has never even seen a letter. Sun Jieyu felt that her best youth had passed, and Li Zhi was afraid of Wu Zetian like a tiger, and she was afraid that she would never call their mother and daughter back to Chang'an in her life. There are only two reasons that have supported her to live over the years, the first is to wait for Li Zhi's health to improve, no longer hand over the affairs of the military state to Wu Zetian to deal with, no longer dare to recall her because of fear of Wu Zetian, and the second is to raise her daughter. Seven years have passed, she is desperate for Li Zhi, her daughter is sixteen years old, and when she grows up, she has no worries.

One night, in the dead of night, Sun Jieyu put on the most beautiful palace clothes, smiled sadly at the moon in the bronze mirror, took out a white silk and hung it on the beam, tied the dead knot, stood on the stool, and was about to hang the beam to commit suicide, when a loud "bang" pierced the sky, and the guards on duty at the Lanzhou Palace didn't know what was going on, so they rushed to the place of the accident and shouted to surround the scene. Outside the house, the night sky was lit up as bright as day by torches. Sun Jieyu was frightened, she didn't stand firm on her feet, she fell down from the stool, and let out an exclamation involuntarily, what surprised her was that she didn't fall heavily to the ground, breaking her head and bleeding, but fell on a man's body, Sun Jieyu looked at it, this was a young and handsome strange man, I don't know where he came from.

Sun Jieyu was afraid of being charged with "adultery tongjian", she didn't care, but she couldn't affect her daughter and her mother's family, so she hurriedly got up from the strange man, not only did not thank the life-saving benefactor, but also asked angrily and loudly: "Who are you, what do you want to do when you sneak into the dormitory of this palace?" Aren't you afraid of exterminating the Nine Clans? ”

Li Qinglian had already slept and slept very deeply, but the movement in the next room was too loud, she was still woken up, and hurriedly got up from the bed, got dressed, and went out of the house to understand the situation.

Xu Qing heard the sound of footsteps and human voices outside the house, and was anxious to stand up and respond. It turned out that Xu Qing did not immediately return to Liangzhou (now Wuwei, Gansu) after recruiting Zhao Tuozhi, but inspected the horse gang, dart bureau, inn, money village and store opened by Shuguang Group in Lanzhou, and did not have time to visit Lanzhou City during the day, so he traveled to Lanzhou City at night, and was attracted by the poignant sound of the piano from the Lanzhou Palace, and wanted to see what the person who played the piano looked like. Xu Qing was unwilling to take such a big risk, only saw the back of a beautiful woman, so she followed behind the palace beauty, and when she entered the house, she dipped her fingers in a mouthful of saliva to learn costume TV series, pierced the window paper and peeked, and saw a thirty stunning palace beauty moving a stool and tying a long white silk to the beam, intending to hang herself. Xu Qing knew what "palace" meant, it was a palace built by the emperor in a city outside the capital, concubines, palace maids, eunuchs, and guards were all available, and when the emperor went to a certain place to play or inspect subordinate officials or observe the people's feelings, he stayed in the palace and was served by the concubines who stayed in the palace. Trespassing into the palace is a capital crime, sneaking into the palace late at night, will be mistaken by the emperor for wanting to rape his woman, not only is it a capital crime, but also the nine clans will be exterminated.

Just now, at the moment of crisis, Xu Qing broke through the window and shot Bai Aya, but Bai Aya didn't break it, but she startled the palace beauty and fell off the stool. Xu Qing caught the fallen beauty, and was taken by the beauty to fall down, Xu Qing's skin was thick and he let himself be below, and the beauty fell on it. Although Xu Qing has a life-saving grace for Sun Jieyu, but sneaking into Sun Jieyu's dormitory late at night is also a capital crime, Xu Qing was worried that the guards of the Lanzhou Palace would arrest him, so he was anxious to stand up and said to Sun Jieyu: "You get up quickly, you can't tell if you see us together." Sun Jieyu was so frightened that she quickly got up from Xu Qing, sorted out her clothes, and couldn't care about scolding Xu Qing anymore.

Xu Qing taught Sun Jieyu to say: "Don't open the door, go to the window and shout to the people outside, just say that you are in a bad mood, break the window, and everyone go back to sleep." After speaking, Xu Qing tore off the white silk hanging on the beam, and then took the white silk and hid behind the door.

Although the origin of the strange man is unknown, but anyway, he saved Sun Jieyu's life just now, and would rather fall himself than let Sun Jieyu fall in pain, Sun Jieyu can't hurt her life-saving benefactor and lose her life, and the matter is big, it is not good for her, Wu Zetian will definitely take advantage of the topic to play and kill her daughter and her mother's family.

Sun Jieyu walked to the window and asked the guards, palace maids, eunuchs and Li Qinglian who rushed over to go back to sleep. Li Qinglian felt that her mother's behavior was abnormal, and insisted that her mother open the door. Sun Jieyu refused to open the door, saying that she didn't want to explain to Li Qinglian at night, and would explain to her tomorrow morning. Li Qinglian has always listened to her mother's words, and saw that her mother's expression was as usual, except for the broken window, there was no other abnormal situation, so she had to go back to the room and continue to sleep.

After everyone retreated, Sun Jieyu stood by the window and asked Xu Qing in a calm tone as much as possible: "Who are you, what do you want to do when you sneak into my dormitory?" ”

"It's so beautiful! Fairy sister? Xu Qing only had time to carefully appreciate Sun Jieyu's beauty at this time, she was too nervous just now, she didn't look at Sun Jieyu carefully, she only felt dizzy, her mind was blank, she couldn't find the right words to describe Sun Jieyu's beauty, her facial features were delicate and irrepromising, her skin was smooth and delicate, worthy of "blowing and breaking", "ice muscle and jade bones", her beauty was like a peony placed among the flowers, making Qunfang jealous, and like the moon shining in the night sky, attracting the attention of thousands of people, other beauties compared to her, as dim as stars. She is dressed in white, her body is light, her shoulders are slashed, her waist is like a su, "竦 (sǒng) light body stands with a crane, if she will fly but does not fly", people stand there without moving, but there is a feeling of floating like a fairy; She is demure and graceful, exuding a fresh breath all over her body, like a lotus flower standing on the blue waves.

Sun Jieyu felt angry, and repeated what she just said angrily, she looked very beautiful when she was angry, Xu Qing was stunned again, and said secretly in her heart, "How come the women I met through are more beautiful than the other, compared with them, the film and television stars of the time and space I live in are not worthy of being maids for them!" Am I mistaken, this is not Earth, it's an alien planet? ”

Sun Jieyu couldn't help her life-saving benefactor, so she returned to her normal tone and said, "Do you have flowers on my face, why are you staring at me like this?" Xu Qing woke up like a dream and replied: "I am an astrologer, I calculated that you committed suicide by hanging a beam tonight, and I can't bear to die like this, I don't hesitate to lose my longevity, disobey the mandate of heaven, and save your life in time, you should thank me, don't talk to me in the tone of interrogating prisoners." ”

Sun Jieyu was shocked, there were many monks and Taoist priests who could divinate and tell fortunes in the Tang Dynasty, the ancient profession of astrologer who flourished before the Han Dynasty had declined in the Tang Dynasty, and the number was only a handful, the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism and implemented the divine authority of the monarch, the Son of Heaven is the son of the Emperor of Heaven, and is ordered by the heavens to rule the views of all the people in the world, and the implementation of the policy of fooling the people, the emperors of the Han Dynasty and later dynasties are opposed to the study of astrology and celestial bodies, so as not to conclude that Ziweixing is not the emperor star, and the emperor is not the son of the emperor. However, astrologers were not extinct in the Tang Dynasty, a few of them were hidden in the people, and most of them were recruited by the emperor to have several purposes, the first was to prevent the words of the astrologers from spreading to the people and demagoguery, and secondly, when natural phenomena such as stone falling, solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, comets, and meteor showers occurred, the astrologers would explain and eliminate the panic of the people, third, predict where there would be the emperor's spirit, and eliminate potential enemies in time, and fourth, predict the good luck and evil of war, and the ancient emperors would have to do it before the departure of a large war army. will ask astrologers to predict good luck and bad luck. Astrologers are respected, from emperors, princes and generals, to ordinary people, they all respect astrologers and believe in their predictions and explanations. This young astrologer did not hesitate to sacrifice Yang Shou, but also acted against the sky to save Sun Jieyu's life.

Sun Jieyu was shocked, but also very moved, sighed, and said: "I have nothing to love in my life, and I am just a walking corpse when I live. ”

Xu Qing was secretly shocked in her heart, this woman's heart for death was so firm, she was afraid that she would not die this time, and she would seek death next time, so she asked: "You are young and beautiful, what is there that you can't see, why do you have to look for a short sight?" ”

"Are you sent by the emperor to save me?"

"No, I am a folk astrologer, not an astrologer raised by the emperor."

"And who are you? Don't you know that sneaking into the palace of the emperor's concubine late at night is to be exterminated by the Nine Clans? ”

"I know."

"You know you're going to come and save me? Why are you so good to me, we have never met. ”

"As long as you don't say this, no one will know, I won't be punished by the Nine Clans, I took such a big risk to save you, and I also damaged Yangshou, you won't take revenge, right?"

"No, I can tell the difference."

"Why are you looking for a short meeting?"

Sun Jieyu came from it with sorrow, and brought out the bitter water and disk in her stomach, hoping that the astrologer could give her guidance.

"I was drafted into the palace as a palace maid at the age of twelve, because of my outstanding appearance, I can sing and dance, at the age of sixteen I got the emperor's favor and was named a talented person, and at the age of seventeen, I gave birth to my daughter Li Qinglian, the princess of Jinchi, and was named Jieyu second only to Gui, Xian, Shu, and De. Originally, everything was beautiful for me, but since Wu Zetian became the queen, everything has changed, and Wu Zetian almost killed all the concubines favored by the emperor in order to dominate the emperor, either openly or secretly. My parents are ordinary farmers, just my one daughter, no one in my mother's family is an official, I am gentle and kind by nature, I have no quarrel with the world, and all the concubines of the Houguan live in peace, and I also have great respect for Wu Zetian. I took the initiative to ask the emperor to accompany the queen more and less with me, plus I didn't have a son, so Wu Zetian let me go. After the emperor died of his favorite concubines in the palace one by one, or was executed by the queen Wu Zetian, he knew that Wu Zetian could not tolerate his favorite concubines, and built several palaces outside Chang'an, and relegated his favorite concubines to live in the palace for various reasons that were not reasons. I didn't expect that it would be seven years, there was no news, I was locked up in the palace, it was like being in prison, it was really boring to live, my daughter is sixteen years old this year, she has grown up, I no longer worry about her, I can leave with peace of mind. ”

Xu Qing snorted: "Wu Zetian is so vicious, it's just crazy!" Such a person can still get away with it and act as a blessing, which is simply unreasonable! ”

Sun Jieyu met a bosom friend, with a smile on her face, and said happily: "You are Wu Zetian's enemy?" ”

Xu Qing said: "Not at present, but it will be in the future." ”

Sun Jieyu said: "Why did Engong say this? ”

Xu Qingdao: "In order to consolidate her power and status, Wu Zetian will kill tens of thousands of people, and kill many loyal ministers and good generals that she does not like, causing the Li Tang royal family and Wu Zetian's martial nephews to fight among themselves, consuming national strength, and half of the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty will be lost in her hands." All the descendants of China are the enemies of Wu Zetian, a selfish and murderous female devil. ”

At present, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi is not dead, Wu Ze has only carried out cleansing and poisoning in the harem, and killed the two ministers of Tang Taizong when he was dying, Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, in the court, as well as Shangguan Yi, who plotted to abolish the position of Empress Wu Zetian, killed hundreds of people, not to the extent of tens of thousands of madness.

Sun Jieyu was stunned, and said after a while: "You said that Wu Zetian will become a female demon who killed tens of thousands of people and cut off half of the Tang Dynasty's troubles?" ”

Xu Qing said: "I hate Wu Zetian very much, so I couldn't help but say a few more words, and I leaked all the heavenly secrets to you." You must keep this secret, even your daughter can't tell it, if Wu Zetian's eyes know, she will definitely say that you are lying to confuse the public, break your body into thousands of pieces, and punish your nine clans. ”

Sun Jieyu said: "Don't worry, I will be tight-lipped." Since you can predict the future, can you help me predict whether there is any hope for my future? When will I get through to the end? ”

Xu Qingdao: "If I tell you that there is no future, do you still want to find a short time?" ”

Sun Jieyu said: "I think so." ”

Xu Qing said: "Your fate is to die tonight, but I saved you against the will of heaven, and changed your fate, you will definitely be able to live to the age of eighty in good health and happiness, but I believe that Wu Zetian must have planted eyeliner next to you, your behavior tonight is so strange, Wu Zetian will definitely send someone to investigate you." There are many cool officials around Wu Zetian, who are bold and reckless in order to ask for merit and rewards, and use all kinds of cruel and inhumane torture to force criminal suspects to admit their guilt. So this place you just can't stay any longer. You go and wake up your daughter, you wait for me here, I'll gather people, all dressed in black and masked, I claim to be someone sent by the queen, please go to Chang'an overnight, your mother and daughter just follow me. ”

"Well, I'll listen to you." Sun Jieyu was obedient, she believed that what Xu Qing said was true, with her understanding of Wu Zetian, Lanzhou Xinggong was afraid that in addition to their mother and daughter, more than 100 other people were Wu Zetian's eyeliner, and it was not a pity to die, but she couldn't affect her daughter.
