7 The storm is coming: This matter has nothing to do with the saints
"The queen has arrived!" A sharp sound of communication crossed the air above the silent inner hall, as if the condensed air was also torn into pieces, Shangguan Yi's hand holding the pen couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a small piece of ink quickly soaked into the fiber of the edict paper.
Empress Wu stepped on an even step, slowly entering, the golden hairpin on her head made a small sound in the swaying, her dress was not very gorgeous, the makeup on her face was even lighter, and she didn't even deliberately cover up the faint lines at the corners of her eyes, this woman was obviously no longer young, but she had a graceful demeanor that was difficult for a woman in her prime to achieve.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" She looked at Li Zhi calmly, with a weird smile in her eyebrows.
"Mei Niang, you, you, why are you here......" Li Zhi was a little nervous, he knew that she would come, but he still hesitated slightly.
Empress Wu smiled and set her eyes on Shangguan Yi: "It turns out that Shangguan Qing's family is also here, and it is really rare to have the opportunity to see the literary brilliance of the Qing family." Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, it is really a coincidence that the concubine came today. As he spoke, he walked towards Shangguan Yi, and his pace was still unhurried.
Shangguan Yi bowed his head and saluted, the moment Empress Wu entered the hall, he understood that this was a dead end, if the saint was really wasted, he should have sent someone to control it, this palace was full of the eyes and ears of Empress Wu, and before the ink of the edict dried, she had already gotten the news.
"The minister has seen the queen's mother."
"Very good, Shangguan Qingjia, you have good words and bones, and you are really like a person." Empress Wu took away the unfinished edict from the desk and commented on it carefully, "As for the content, this is not like your usual style, the rhetoric is not beautiful enough, and the battle is not neat enough, it is because of the lack of confidence......
"Mei Niang......" Li Zhi wanted to say something, but he wanted to stop, sighed, and turned his back.
Wang Fusheng was about to step forward to serve, but was repelled by a squinting gaze from Empress Wu. She slowly rolled up the edict and paced to Li Zhi's side.
"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know what the sin is, but as Shangguan Qing's family said, she has disappointed the people of the world to the extreme." Without waiting for Li Zhi to answer, he said to himself, "Your Majesty is in poor health, your concubine is worried about state affairs, and she helps Your Majesty to govern the government and government, no matter how big or small, you dare not slack off in the slightest, could it be that this is what you call 'arbitrary behavior'?" The concubine is a female streamer, and she has long been overwhelmed by such a burden, so she is grateful to Your Majesty for your understanding, and takes this opportunity to remove the burden of a thousand gold on her shoulders. Your Majesty understands the heart of the concubine, and can't help but let the concubine recall the time of the Ganye Temple, when His Majesty promised the concubine to live for life, but fortunately, the concubine did not take it seriously, so as not to be jealous of His Majesty to this day for not keeping his promise......"
"Mei Niang, things are not what you think." Li Zhi shook his head, turned around, covered his heart, and looked like he couldn't complain.
Seeing that his expression was extremely entangled and painful, Shangguan Yi became more and more relieved, the king wanted the minister to die, and the minister had to die, such a simple truth, why bother to be puzzled, so he took a step forward and said coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty, it is all the ministers who are instigated by it." β
Empress Wu laughed, her eyes covered with a layer of smoke, "Shangguanyi, the emperor is not so easy to fool." β
When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and deliberately lowered his face, "Has the queen forgotten all about the past?" Is it all my fault? What can I do if I'm haunted? β
"What happened in the past?" Empress Wu asked sharply, with a look of disdain, "I don't know which one and which one the saint is referring to?" When Queen Wang murdered my daughter, Concubine Xiao Shu used the curse technique...... The concubine body is just imprisoning the two of them, but the one who has the intention to kill is the saint you, Wang Fusheng, don't you say? β
Wang Fusheng had no choice but to hang his head and not answer.
This almost acquiescing attitude made Empress Wu secretly proud, with a complicated smile on her face, "Could it be that Your Majesty pities the death of Mrs. Wei?" Helan Xiang Xiaoyu died, she was the niece of the concubine, the concubine was very sad, and she had already punished the two brothers...... Could it be that Your Majesty only has the Helan clan in his heart? You must know that the sacrifice was originally given to the concubine, and she died in place of the concubine, so is Your Majesty more happy to see the concubine die? If the death of the concubine can be exchanged for a fresh life of the Helan family, the concubine is naturally willing, and the concubine believes that she can also take care of the saint for several days, give birth to children for His Majesty, share weal and woe with His Majesty, and help His Majesty to take care of the affairs of the court in an orderly manner...... "She has a little pretentious feeling of "concubine body", you must know that she has always spoken casually with Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was choked by these words, only to feel panicked in his heart, he just wanted to cut off Shangguan Yi's troubles, but there were twists and turns, today's words of the martial arts queen were prickly, to the point, the old wounds and new pains gathered in his heart, and he couldn't bear it for a while, "Mei Niang, how can they compare with you?" Why do you hold a grudge against them? If I didn't have you in my heart, how could I have indulged and indulged back thenβ"
"Your Majesty is angry. Peace of mind, everything can be solved. Wang Fusheng finally spoke, ostensibly to persuade him, but his intention was to cut off Li Zhi's words.
