Chapter Ninety-Five: A Bland Meeting
In the morning, Di Renjie took over the task of finding Huang Chong, and in the afternoon of the same day, Huang Chong entered the palace under the leadership of the internal guard to see Wu Zetian.
The person who brought Huang Chong into the palace this time was named Huang Shengyan, that is, the former cabinet leader of the Internal Guard Mansion who was still investigating Huang Chong's true identity, although he had a deep resentment against Huang Chong, but Wu Zetian's order, he had to listen to it, so he had a straight face throughout the whole process, looking like a stranger.
Huang Chong didn't know the reason for this, thinking that the internal guards were so stubborn, and he didn't care too much.
Although Wu Zetian would know that he had fallen into Di Renjie's "trap", Di Renjie didn't care about this, he knew Wu Zetian too well, and knew that Wu Zetian would never blame him for this incident, especially at this point in time.
This matter, the sooner it is resolved, the better, Huang Chong was still very hesitant and didn't know whether to enter the palace or not, but he couldn't stand Di Renjie's repeated persuasion, and his heart was crossed, Huang Chong decided to enter the palace and meet his cheap grandmother, the only female emperor in Chinese history - Wu Zetian.
Temple of the Wind.
"Your Majesty, Huang Gongheng brought it, and now outside the palace gate." The female officer Chunxiang walked behind Wu Zetian and said softly.
“……”
Wu Zetian stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery in the distance, this direction was facing the Taigong, as if he hadn't heard Chunxiang's words, just when Chunxiang was about to remind him again, Wu Zetian opened his mouth and said: "Let him come in, you all go down, guard outside the hall, no one is allowed to enter without my order." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chunxiang responded, and she didn't know if it was her illusion, she felt that Wu Zetian's voice was a little strange.
Huang Chong walked to the center of the hall, looked around, and finally put his eyes on the person in front of the window who was carrying him, he had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't know how to speak, and he didn't want to speak, for Wu Zetian, Li Shouxin had some impressions, he had seen it many times when he was a child, and later, he never saw it again.
Huang Chong had thought many times about what would happen to him in the future.
And now, standing here on your own, all options are gone.
As for his true identity, Di Renjie had already checked it before, and on his body, there were two birthmarks, which Wu Zetian told Di Renjie, and he also checked his fingerprints, God knows why there is such an advanced consciousness in this era.
"You, when you grow up, what do you want to do?" Wu Zetian, who was facing Huang Chong with his back, suddenly asked.
Huang Chong looked past Wu Zetian's back, looked out the window, and said, "Kill Ashina Gu Dulu." ”
When Wu Zetian heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he slowly turned around and looked at Huang Chong, the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
“……”
The two of them didn't speak, they just looked at each other, and the short conversation just now was the most conversational content between Li Shouxin and Wu Zetian when he was a child.
Just like now, many adults will ask children "what do you want to do when you grow up", and Wu Zetian is no exception, and he has asked the young Li Shouxin this question several times.
For a period of time, the Turkic Khan Ashina Gu Dulu wreaked havoc on the border, causing heavy losses to the Tang army, and the young Li Shouxin once said to Wu Zetian that when he grew up, he would learn from Xue Rengui, the prince of Pingyang County, recover the border, pacify the Turks, and kill Ashina Gu Dulu, Wu Zetian joked that if Li Shouxin could do it, he would meet a request.
It was a very private conversation, and only the two people in the Guanfeng Hall knew now, because the other insiders, such as Prince Zhang Huai, were all dead.
"Ashina Gu Dulu is dead." Wu Zetian said calmly.
"The Turks have also been pacified." Huang Chong calmly replied that the auspicious khan had promised that he would never invade the Great Zhou in his lifetime, and in a sense, it was indeed "pacified", and in this matter, Huang Chong should be the first to take the lead.
"yes." Wu Zetian stared at Huang Chong and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”
"Live a normal life." Huang Chong looked directly at Wu Zetian, for some reason, Huang Chong was not afraid of Wu Zetian at all, which Huang Chong had not thought of before, maybe Wu Zetian did not look like an emperor now.
"Keep your word, you ......"
"Trustworthy, what a good two words, I hope you can also be trustworthy." Huang Chong interrupted.
"Yes, I promise you."
"Thank you."
After being silent for a while, Wu Zetian asked, "...... you Do you hate me? ”
"Maybe, I just hope you can keep your word." After speaking, Huang Chong turned around and walked towards the door.
Maybe it's because Huang Chong just inherited Li Shouxin's memory at the beginning, and he didn't fully experience it himself; Maybe Huang Chong didn't know how to face it, in short, no matter what the reason, Huang Chong didn't really want to stay here now.
"Shou, Gongheng, will you stay in Luoyang?"
Huang Chong stopped, did not look back, and said: "When will you no longer be the emperor, maybe, I don't like politics, and I don't think Li Xian will like it either." ”
Walking to the door, Huang Chong stopped, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and threw it behind him, and the porcelain bottle rolled right at Wu Zetian's feet.
"I heard Di Gong say that you are not in good health, don't eat one with water before going to bed, don't drink soothing soup again, maybe it can help you, whether you eat it or not, it's poisoned, and it has nothing to do with me." After speaking, Huang Chong opened the door and walked out without hesitation.
“……”
Wu Zetian looked at the porcelain vase on the ground in a daze, two tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks, and then she squatted down and picked up the porcelain vase.
"Your Majesty." Zhou Jianbai didn't know when, appeared behind Wu Zetian, this time Wu Zetian saw Huang Chong, she has been hiding in the shadows, after all, Huang Chong is also a famous master, it is impossible to really let Wu Zetian see him alone.
"How's this grandson of mine?" Wu Zetian suddenly laughed.
"There is the wind of His Majesty, and his strength is probably no longer under the minister." Zhou Jianbai said.
"Oh?" Wu Zetian was a little surprised, although she didn't practice martial arts, but she knew the strength of her personal bodyguard, and there were many people who wanted her to die, and Zhou Jianbai could handle these troubles for her.
"Your Majesty, this medicine?" Zhou Jianbai asked with some concern, looking at Wu Zetian's appearance, it seemed that he was going to take it, as a bodyguard, reason told her that she should be stopped, but her intuition told her that it was useless to stop it.
"At the beginning, the poison of the auspicious Khan, even Di Huaiying couldn't do anything, but he solved it, and also solved the grievances between the two countries, I believe in him." Wu Zetian opened the porcelain bottle and poured out a pill, which did not have a pungent medicinal fragrance, it was a black pill, which was inconspicuous.
