Chapter Twenty-Nine: Offending the Empress
Qin Shaoyou wanted to refuse, but Shangguan Wan'er didn't give him a chance to refuse, put his hands behind his back, and took the lead.
Qin Shaoyou thought about it, but he became bolder, he was a big man, why be afraid!
Hurriedly followed Shangguan Wan'er over, and when she arrived outside the palace, she had already prepared a car, but there was no car specially prepared for Qin Shaoyou, so she had no choice but to squeeze with Shangguan Wan'er.
The two of them were in the incense car together, and Qin Shaoyou was sitting dangerously, looking like Liu Xia Hui.
But Shangguan Wan'er was holding her hands and closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.
Qin Shaoyou saw her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and knew that she hadn't really fallen asleep, most likely observing herself carefully, Qin Shaoyou simply said: "Don't pretend, Miss Shangguan, let's study the prince." β
Shangguan Wan'er opened her eyes and pouted, "What are you studying?" β
Qin Shaoyou said dissatisfiedly: "You asked me to go to Huaiyuanyi, I should always let me know what happened, right?" What kind of prince is seriously ill, there are as many princes as dogs in this Luoyang City, what kind of prince still needs to be visited by His Majesty in person? β
Shangguan Wan'er said lazily: "This prince is not surnamed Li, but a Persian prince." β
It turned out to be an international friend...... Qin Shaoyou suddenly realized.
Shangguan Wan'er continued: "This person was originally the grandson of the king of Persia, but because his father was convicted, he finally fled to Luoyang. He also hopes that our Da Zhou can lend troops to him, saying that the king is stupid and incompetent, and his uncle is not a real Persian clan, but born to a concubine, but he is clever and has won the position of the prince, so he wants to borrow troops to fight back to Persia and regain the society that should belong to their father and son. β
Qin Shaoyou smiled, international friends seemed a little naΓ―ve, borrowing troops to ......
Shangguan Wan'er showed a worried look and said: "Originally, His Majesty didn't value him, but just let Huaiyuanyi keep it in captivity, and he couldn't waste a few mouthfuls of food anyway, but just a few months ago, news came that the king of Persia died, and his uncle was supposed to ascend the throne, but he was opposed by the countrymen, causing a rebellion, and the rebels welcomed his father to the throne as king, and in a blink of an eye, this prince His Royal Highness actually became the prince, and it is said that the envoy of the Persian country has set out to welcome back the crown prince and reunite with the new Persian king......
Qin Shaoyou was dumbfounded, so complicated, this low-level international friend, in the blink of an eye, became a baby bump, even if he didn't know much about the internal situation of Persia, but he also knew that this prince must have become the legal heir of Persia now, and Persia is now in its prime, the eastern border, and even the border with the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, this grandson is about to make a fortune.
And for the Great Zhou, since Wu Zetian ascended the throne, in fact, the situation is not optimistic, there are some clans and local rebellions, although they have been suppressed, but many clans and feudal officials are all with their own ghosts, the Turks and Tubo who fled to the west launched a war with the Great Zhou two years ago, it is estimated that they want to take advantage of the chaos, presumably for Wu Zetian at this time, if he can maintain good relations with Persia, it is extremely important.
And it's no wonder...... His Royal Highness the prince is seriously ill, if he dies in Luoyang, who can say clearly about this matter, if there are Tubo or Western Turks at this time to provoke the relationship between Persia and the Great Zhou, at that time, I am afraid that the Anxi Protectorate will be unpeaceful again, and once the imperial court gathers heavy troops to maintain the stability of the Western Regions, some internal clans, as well as the forces that support the Li family, will they let go of this opportunity?
Qin Shaoyou suddenly realized, it is good to have read the book, and suddenly pondered, and actually found that a big fart can cause such terrible consequences, Wu Zetian of course understands the key to this, so he suddenly drove to Huaiyuanyi, it doesn't matter whether His Royal Highness the prince is dead or alive, in other words, you are good to die or not, but don't die in Luoyang.
Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Qin Shaoyou deeply, and saw that Qin Shaoyou sometimes frowned, sometimes biting his fingers and groaning, she knew that Qin Shaoyou seemed to have figured out the joint, and she couldn't help but think in her heart: "This guy first completely defeated the Zhou family, and then even had the value of being used by His Majesty, it seems that it is not luck, but ......" But what, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes rolled and thought of a word: "Cunning!" Qin Shaoyou, it's really not a thing! β
After a short time, Huaiyuanyi arrived.
Huaiyuanyi is affiliated to Honglu Temple, which is an institution of Honglu Temple to entertain international friends.
And it occupies a large area, after all, this is the Great Zhou, it is the continuation of the Tang Dynasty, there are more international friends than dogs, if Qin Shaoyou is looking for a high tower and drops a hammer from above, the probability of international friends being stoned to death is only not less than one percent, of course, Qin Shaoyou is a quality person, he is at most spitting under the tower. He categorically refused to do anything that hurt heaven and reason.
There were many guards outside the door, and I saw the dragon stopped in front of the door from afar, these guards saw that it was Shangguan Wan'er, and they didn't dare to stop it, Shangguan Wan'er was in front, Qin Shaoyou followed her step by step, and soon passed through countless heavy instrument doors and corner towers, and heard the voice of reprimand from afar: "As the secretary of Honglu Temple, you are in charge of all the things that return to righteousness and barbarians, and all the kings, envoys and ministers are all arranged and taken care of by you, why did you come to this situation?" Lu Sheng, are you guilty? β
Following this voice, Shangguan Wan'er had already entered an attic, and Qin Shaoyou also followed.
In this small hall, Wu Zetian dressed up and looked graceful and generous, but today, her pretty face with pink delicacy implied murderous intent, which had almost paralyzed an official under her feet.
"Your Majesty, Prince Balus is worried about his homeland, and he is sick with sorrow......"
"Enough!" Wu Zetian brushed his sleeves and sneered: "I took you as my heart and entrusted you with big things, what do you have to quibble about now?" β
"Death to the minister." Dali Temple Qing Lu Sheng looked miserable.
Wu Zetian's eyes only flicked slightly, and he saw Shangguan Wan'er and Qin Shaoyou who came upstairs, she was angry, she didn't pay attention to the two, but fell on a long couch in the building.
The curtains on the couch have been rolled up, and there is a person sleeping on it, with a high nose and deep eyes, and at first glance he is a man with colored eyes.
Sitting in front of the couch was a royal doctor, who held the pulse of this man with his hand and stared silently.
Obviously, this benevolent brother has been sitting like this for a long time, and it is also obvious that he can't come up with a plan for diagnosis, and even more obviously, he must be very scared in his heart, for fear that he will come up and say that he can't do anything, and Wu Zetian will definitely chop him up and feed him to the dogs, so ...... He continued, probably hoping that time would stop, and that his life would best last forever in this second.
Wu Zetian had already paced to the front of the couch, looking at the dying prince of Persia, and his embroidered eyebrows were locked deeper.
This person is extremely important to Wu Zetian, he is not only related to the stability of the entire Western Regions, but also to the stability of the throne, but now, Wu Zetian has found that although he is rich all over the world and has thousands of miles in his hands, there is nothing he can do.
Qin Shaoyou glanced at the unlucky guy of Dali Siqing, then looked at Wu Zetian, and then looked at the face of the man with colored eyes from a distance, and couldn't help but be suspicious, so he couldn't help but take a few steps forward, continue to observe, and unconsciously, his steps took a few steps forward.
Then, everyone was stunned, this guy who didn't know which wild way came was actually bold, his eyes were staring at the prince, his steps kept moving forward, and he was only an inch away from Wu Zetian's back, Qin Shaoyou realized something.
Wu Zetian sensed something and turned around suddenly. found that a bold guy was close at hand, and his eyes were relative at such a close distance, which made Wu Zetian a little surprised.
And Qin Shaoyou was also startled, he had already smelled the faint body fragrance on Wu Zetian's body, mixed with the unknown rouge breath, and then, he saw Wu Zetian's pair of razor-like eyes sweeping towards him, which was a kind of shame and anger that the Son of Heaven showed after his majesty was violated.
This...... Is it a taboo?
Qin Shaoyou was drenched in a cold sweat, but gradually, when Wu Zetian saw him, the sharpness in his eyes finally softened a little.
Belch...... Qin Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his impression in front of Wu Zetian was that of a nerd, a stupid nerd, a little confused, he must still be able to understand, if he was replaced by someone else, would he be pulled out to feed the dog?
But...... The scene was very embarrassing, everyone didn't dare to come out, and Wu Zetian's gaze was still stern, Qin Shaoyou's body seemed to be frozen, he decided to liven up the atmosphere, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this prince, your Royal Highness, hungry ......"
