Chapter 1000: As Deep as the Sea

Seeing the armor knife flying head-on, but Wu Zetian was in a rage, if he dodged, it would inevitably anger the empress even more, Shangguan Wan'er didn't dare to move, she could only kneel upright, seeing the armor knife and her body, she subconsciously closed her eyes.

The knife is not big, it is used to cut paper, but the sharp tip of the knife stabbed Wan'er, and the center of her eyebrows still hurt, and the knife was smashing on her forehead and eyebrows, and the knife fell to the ground, and the blood also fell down.

"Whose child is it?"

Wu Zetiansen's cold voice came, Wan'er closed her eyes tightly, only to feel the blood slowly flowing down and spread to her mouth, she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

She would never say the name Yang Fan, not to mention that she still had a glimmer of hope, but to say that she could only take Yang Fan's life, and she and her children would not be spared. She, who has always valued her name above her life, can give up her life or her name for the sake of her man and her children.

Wu Zetian looked at Fu Qingqing coldly, and the informant hurriedly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Minister...... I don't know. ”

Wu Zetian raised his chin slightly and asked, "The child in her womb has been a few months old?" ”

Fu Qingqing said: "According to the sage's orders, Yang Yi, the assistant teacher of Tai Hospital, has already given Shangguan the number to be prepared, saying that it is ...... It's been seven months. ”

"Seven months? Haha! I'm really old, my old eyes are dizzy, you're by my side, I'm pregnant for seven months, and I don't even notice it......"

Wu Zetian sneered for a long time, slightly locked his brows, and began to think. Fu Qingqing looked at his face and quickly reminded: "Probably...... It was the period one month after the saint returned to Kyoto from Sanyonomiya. ”

"Hmmm......"

Wu Zetian's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he asked in a deep voice: "Since then, Wan'er has stayed outside the palace for a total of several times, and who do you often associate with?" ”

If you want to sue someone in front of the emperor, how can you be trustworthy, you must be fully prepared. Fu Qingqing was really ready, she glanced at Shangguan Wan'er timidly, but still mustered up the courage, took out a codex from her sleeve, and tiptoed it to Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian opened the codex viciously, looked at it at a glance, and was stunned: "Wu Sansi, Zhang Tongxiu, Zhang Changqi, Gao Jian, Zhang Shuo, Cui Xiang, Cui Li, Cui Di, ......"

In the days when Wan'er stayed outside the palace and did not return, she mostly drank and feasted with these people, most of whom were talented people in the world, and Wan'er presided over the History Museum and the Hanlin Academy. It's normal to associate with these talented people, so Wu Zetian has never had any suspicions, and now it seems that her lover must be one of them.

Wu Zetian pondered for a long time, waved his hand, and said to Fu Qingqing: "Stand down!" ”

"Whoa!"

Fu Qingqing agreed. He bowed down and was about to leave the temple gate. subconsciously glanced at Wan'er again. looked at Wu Zetian again, and suddenly found that two murderous eyes were staring at her coldly.

Fu Qingqing was stunned, and when Dingqing looked again, he saw a woman standing on both sides of the curtain. One is Lan Yiqing and the other is Gao Ying. The two of them looked at her with a rather unkind gaze, and there was a faint murderous aura. Seeing her looking at her, the two women invariably twitched the corners of their mouths, extremely disdainful.

Fu Qingqing knew that these two daughters were also Wan'er's henchmen. can even be called a good sister, Fu Qingqing couldn't help but smile bitterly secretly: "Sister Wan'er, if you let me be this wicked person, there will be many people in the harem who don't want to see me." ”

Wu Zetian held the codex, paced slowly in the hall for a while, sat down after going back to the imperial case, and saw Shangguan Wan'er still kneeling on the ground, her upper body was straight, the red blood on her face and the snow-white skin reflected each other, she was a little shocked, and her heart suddenly softened.

The emperor is lonely, Wan'er has served her since she was fourteen years old, and she has been by her side longer than anyone else in this world, how can she not have a little affection in her heart. Wu Zetian suppressed the fire in his heart and asked slowly, "You tell me, who is the father of this child?" ”

Wan'er lowered her head lightly and said in a low voice, "Back to the saint, Wan'er...... Wan'er doesn't know! ”

The anger that Wu Zetian had just suppressed suddenly came out again, she slapped the royal case hard, got up angrily, and shouted: "Bastard! You still dare to deceive me today, don't you know? You ......"

Wu Zetian pointed at Shangguan Wan'er, and suddenly saw her look of shamelessness, and the voice of scolding couldn't help but stop abruptly, she was stunned for a long time, and then said tentatively: "You...... You can't confirm whose child it is? ”

Wan'er was speechless, and kowtowed with tears: "Sage Shengming, please don't ask the sage again, Wan'er is guilty!" ”

Wu Zetian's legs were weak, and she sat back on the chair all of a sudden, she finally understood, no wonder Wan'er was difficult to speak, it turned out that looking at her who was ice and jade, she was also promiscuous in her private affairs.

Somehow, Wu Zetian suddenly remembered that when the Crane Prison had just been established, Zhang Yizhi selected seven white-skinned and beautiful young men from Beijing to enter the palace.

Wu Zetian's old face was hot, and it was not easy to say anything about scolding Shangguan Wan'er, and at the same time, he felt a little inexplicably relaxed in his heart. Wan'er has served as a central participant for many years and is her indispensable right-hand man, and now she is praised as an internal minister, if she has a lifelong contract with someone, it is difficult for Wu Zetian to guarantee that Wan'er will not become a nail wedged by others by her side.

The role of this nail is not necessarily against her, maybe it is just to think about her every move to cater to her will and flatter, but no one likes to let her every move be well understood.

If Wan'er is just physically and mentally mature, has what she needs, and marries those romantic celebrities overnight and becomes a dewy couple, the problem is not serious.

However, is Wan'er really in private chaos or is it to cover up the truth?

The older Wu Zetian gets, the heavier her suspicion becomes, because of Wan'er's unspeakable shame, she thought of this possibility, but she won't believe everything Wan'er said because of this.

But what should she do? Like a mother whose daughter was raped, angrily confronting those people one by one? When this matter spreads, the royal dignity will be gone, and it is strange that the people do not spread the palace to be obscene.

Wu Zetian knows best how powerful those long-tongued women in the countryside are, thinking that she was thirteen years old back then, but she was just beautiful, brightly dressed, and liked to go out, so I don't know how many people talked about it behind her back, and there were many unbearable rumors. Once this kind of affair leaks the slightest rumor. I really don't know how ugly it is to be rumored.

How to deal with Wan'er is still second, the most important thing is that she wants to find out whether Wan'er is hooked up and has become an eye and ears buried by her side. How do you figure this out without fanfare? This is the key, after all, Wu Zetian has been in power for many years, and reason quickly gained the upper hand, once she distinguishes priorities, she is no longer swayed by emotions.

Wu Zetian pondered for a long time, and his tone gradually softened: "This ...... It's also my fault. You've been with me since you were fourteen. For many years, I have regarded you as a confidant. I even treated it like my own daughter, but I ignored that you have grown into a woman and need a man. ”

Wu Zetian sighed and said, "I don't want to delve into this ridiculous matter. But there is always a way to deal with the aftermath. You should know that if this matter is publicized. It's not just that your name is gone. The dignity of the imperial court will also be gone! ”

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly wiped the blood on her face and looked at Wu Zetian in surprise, she knew that all the preparations she had made could not cause the emperor's heaviest suspicion or cause the emperor's murder, but she didn't expect to get Wu Zetian's forgiveness so easily.

Shangguan Wan'er was pleasantly surprised. He kowtowed again and again: "Thank you for the mercy of the saint, Wan'er is at the mercy of the saint!" ”

Wu Zetian smiled faintly and said, "Seven months, it is indeed not appropriate to beat the child again." But. There are many Chinese medicine holy hands in the Tai Hospital, it should not hurt your body, beat the child, and you can rest for ten days and a half on the grounds of illness, and then you can return to me, and no one will know about it. ”

Shangguan Wan'er's face changed, and she hurriedly shook her head and said, "No! Wan'er couldn't do it, so she begged the saint for mercy, and Wan'er wanted to give birth to the child. ”

Wu Zetian's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "You can't even determine who the child's father is, what do you want this child to do?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er sobbed: "Sage, no matter who his father is, it is the minister's own flesh and blood!" ”

Wu Zetian said unhappily: "Confused! If you are allowed to give birth to a child peacefully, how can you hide it from the eyes and ears of the world, I have the intention to forgive your crimes, and you don't want to get an inch. ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The minister would rather add to his own sin, even if he is demoted to a palace slave by the saint, and only asks the saint to let the minister give birth to the child." ”

Wu Zetian flicked his sleeves and said: "Pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

"Nope! Sage, Wan'er please! ”

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly walked a few steps, knelt in front of the imperial case, and hissed: "Sage! Wan'er is instructed and cared for by the saint, and the saint is both a king and a mother in Wan'er's heart, and her kindness is like a mountain! The saint's words didn't dare to disobey, but this child is the blood and blood of the minister, and the flesh and blood of the minister's heart, if the saint wants to execute this child, the minister will hate you for the rest of his life! ”

I'm afraid that no one in this world has ever said such a thing to Wu Zetian, at least never in her impression, she looked at Wan'er with a very strange gaze, and said in a deep voice: "By my side, under you alone, above ten thousand people, would you rather give up everything I gave you, just to keep this fetus?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er raised her head and said firmly: "The minister has come to the world to go this way, and he also wants to be a woman and a mother!" Seek the fulfillment of the saints! ”

Shangguan Wan'er kowtowed to the ground, and never got up again, Wu Zetian squinted his old eyes and looked at her quietly, his face was ancient and waveless, like a cold pool that has not been transformed for thousands of years. After a while, Wu Zecai said: "If you want to keep this fetus, your glory, wealth, power, status, everything must be given up, for the sake of the dignity of the royal family, including your freedom!" I can allow you to give birth to a child, but you will be imprisoned and isolated from the rest of the world, and will you? ”

Shangguan Wan'er heard that there was still room for maneuver, as long as she kept her child, where would she have a lot of scruples, and kowtowed again and again: "The saint is merciful, Wan'er is willing to accept it!" ”

Wu Zetian stared at Shangguan Wan'er, his gaze gradually softened. She has never taken family affection seriously, so she can't understand this kind of person who can abandon everything for the sake of her children: "It's just a mass of unborn flesh, not even a living person!" ”

In her mind, if someone ventures to pursue Shangguan Wan'er, the purpose must be the power in her hands, otherwise there are many beautiful women, who would take such a big risk to have an affair with the people around the emperor? And Wan'er is the same, if she has a different heart and covets the power she has given her, how can she give up this opportunity she has given her?

Therefore, Wu Zetian's seemingly tolerant words have already been assassinated, if Wan'er accepts her suggestion easily, then Wan'er must be allowed to die, even if she kills the wrong person. Now Wan'er is willing to give up everything in order to give birth to a child, but Wu Zetian believes that she is harmless to herself.

Somehow, Wu Zetian suddenly remembered his eldest daughter, it was when Yonghui was in the fifth year, that cute baby like a pink ball, in the blink of an eye, almost fifty years have passed, she thought that she had long forgotten the daughter who would never grow up again, but now the image of that daughter appeared clearly in her mind, turning her anger into a clean one.

After being silent for a long time, Wu Zetian sounded leisurely in the main hall with some empty voices: "Wan'er, the will!" Officially announced to the world that I will move the capital to Chang'an this year! Waiting for Shangguan Wan'er to go to Chang'an first, she will prepare for the relocation of the capital with Fengchen Cheng and Zhang Changzong! ”

Shangguan Wan'er raised her head in surprise. Wu Zetian continued: "Gao Ying, Lan Yiqing! ”

The two internal guards who had been standing by the curtain bowed down and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"The two of you escort Wan'er to Chang'an, and ask Zhang Changzong to arrange a secret and safe place to settle her."

Shangguan Wan'er understood, and kowtowed with great joy: "Wan'er, thank you for the kindness of the saint!" ”

Wu Zetian grabbed the dragon head crutch and left the imperial case, and when she walked to Shangguan Wan'er's side, she paused the dragon head crutch on the ground, and walked away without saying a word.
