Emperor Zetian Great Sage, this is the honorific title that Li Xian personally gave to Wu Cao when he ascended the throne, and at this moment, the woman who was lying peacefully in the golden silk nan wooden coffin has lost all the aura she once had, and has regained her early name.

After changing the emperor's name, he was buried with Gaozong as the queen. This was Wu Cao's last life when he was dying. And no matter how much embarrassment and disgrace he had with his mother during his lifetime, Li Xian would not fail to agree to this innocuous request. Yes, he changed his honorific title to the Great Holy Empress of Zetian, boycotted the dynasty for three days, mourned the whole country, and knelt down in front of the spirit to send Wu Cao on his last journey, which won everyone's praise and praise.

And Tao Yao, dressed in a white coarse linen dress, knelt quietly in a group of mourning and weeping women, her lowered eyes were red, and she looked as white as snow without makeup, but she looked a little sad. But in fact, she just used the pungent spices specially blended by Hongfu to make herself have a little tears, but how sad she really was, but she didn't know. Wu Cao is eighty-two years old this year, even if she is placed in the people, it is also a real joy and mourning, not to mention how magnificent her life is, that ordinary women can't catch up with it for a few lifetimes, and finally leaving can be regarded as no regrets, which is enough to break all cause and effect.

There is no doubt that this woman is a qualified emperor, a lord who cares about the world and is worthy of the people, but for her family, she is by no means a qualified wife, mother and elder. Even Tao Yao herself can't say with a clear conscience that she has no grievances against Wu Cao. After all, if it weren't for the great-grandmother's initial suspicions, she wouldn't have been the target of so many people's eyes in the first place. Originally, she should have had a simple life of her own, not like now, except for the secret edict left by Wu Cao, there was nothing left.

Obviously, Tao Yao is not the only one with the same complex thoughts. Therefore, even if the wailing was all over at this time, most of the people in front of the spirit had strange faces and distorted expressions. Fortunately, the people in the palace are all born plays, with the cover of the handkerchief and the assistance of various foreign objects, they also cry one by one, creating a scene of filial piety and virtuous grandchildren, and they look at Tao Yaowu sighing to themselves.

"Why, after being in the palace for so long, are you still not used to the hypocrisy here?" A whispering voice sounded faintly in her ears, causing Tao Yao to subconsciously turn half of her face sideways to look, but it turned out to be Princess Taiping, who was dressed in plain clothes.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, why are you ......" Tao Yao couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes. Because half an hour ago, Princess Taiping, who was kneeling at the front, fainted due to excessive grief, and at this time she should be resting in the side hall, how could she appear here for no reason, and kneel beside her without incident?

"That mother and daughter are so unsightly, I don't have the patience to be with them." didn't look at her, Princess Taiping's lips didn't even squirm much, and her low but calm voice pierced through the hustle and bustle around her, and came into Tao Yao's ears very clearly: "It's not convenient to talk here, you can find an opportunity to come to the side hall to see me in a while." As she spoke, she didn't wait for Tao Yao to respond, she quietly got up and blended into the team of palace people on the side, and soon disappeared without a trace.

It's also a shame that her current identity is too embarrassing, so she was arranged to kneel in the corner, and at the time of the funeral, everyone was dressed in white clothes and white dresses, and even the hairstyle outfit was almost the same, otherwise she would have attracted attention no matter how careful she was. Tao Yao sighed helplessly, but glanced at Wei and Princess Anle, who were crying bitterly at the front of the crowd. Seeing that they were all immersed in the roles they played and couldn't extricate themselves, and had no time to take care of anything else, she saw the opportunity to find a vacancy, and sneaked out like Princess Taiping when the palace people came in to add incense.

"Whew-" only to avoid a corner where no one was around, Tao Yao let out a long sigh of relief. I have to say that there are too many people in the hall, and the smell of burning incense and candles is too strong. Princess Taiping's move turned out to be a rare timely rain.

"Are you going to see her?" A deliberately lowered male voice sounded coldly behind him, and Tao Yao's hair stood on end in an instant, and he turned around and retreated a few steps before he would stand firm. After looking closely, I found that the person turned out to be Gao Xianzhi, with a layer of white filial piety clothes draped over the black power suit, which looked no different from the ordinary guards in the palace.

"Brother Huaijin." Trying her best to calm her heartbeat, Tao Yao's voice was still trembling with uncontrollable trembling, and she was really a little frightened: "Why are you here?" I heard that Uncle Gao has left the palace. ”

"I haven't been able to see you since I said goodbye last time, so I'm not very relieved, so I deliberately stayed for a while." Gao Xianzhi's black eyes were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom, perhaps because he had been honing too much in the army recently, compared with before, the aura of the noble son who was as warm as jade on his body had faded a lot, and instead of it, it was an iron-blooded cold as a knife. Although he deliberately restrained a lot in front of Tao Yao, it still gave people a different feeling. Subconsciously reached out to help, he didn't expect her reaction to be so big: "I'm sorry, didn't I scare you?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just unprepared for a while, a little surprised." The corners of his mouth pulled an unnatural arc, Tao Yao thought about the question he just had, and the smile on his lips became even lighter: "Her Royal Highness the princess fainted because she was too hurt, I'll just go and take a look, it's nothing." ”

Sensing the coldness and alienation between her words, Gao Xianzhi's hand holding her arm tightened subconsciously, and the words of explanation had already blurted out: "Xiao'er, I didn't mean to stare at you, I just ...... Just worry that you're going to get hurt. ”

Princess Taiping is who she is, she is a big conspirator who has been rolling in the splendid Qiluo pile since she was a child, and in her, He Zeng has half a bit of sincerity and sincerity. He was just afraid that the old things would happen again, that Tao Yao would be used as a tool again, and that she would be annihilated in the silent dumping, so he desperately didn't want her to get too close to those people. However, judging from the last situation, Yao'er obviously misunderstood, he went back and thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't let go, so he took this opportunity to venture in, waiting to tell her to understand.
