In the second year of the dew, it was the time of the scorching summer, the cicadas were restless during the day, the frogs were chirping at night, there was no trace of wind, and even the branches of the trees lost their former vitality and hung listlessly.

Empress Wu did not go to the summer, not even the palace near Taiye Pond, still living in Qingning Palace, the maid Chunying persuaded more than once: "Niangniang, this day is abnormally hot, you still go to Hanliang Hall to raise." ”

Empress Wu faced the bronze mirror, and took down the golden hairpin that was originally inserted horizontally and changed it to an oblique insertion, so that she had a satisfactory color, "Chunying, your name is called I suddenly remembered that I once had a maid named Xia He." ”

Chun Ying's face suddenly turned pale: "What did Niang Niang ask her to do?" A person who doesn't know the current affairs-" She wanted to say "slut", but in front of Empress Wu, it was not her turn to be so arrogant.

Empress Wu laughed dryly: "Yes, there are never a few people in this palace who don't know the current affairs, they think that Xia He is just unlucky, but they don't know that she has served me for many years...... From Zhaoyi to the queen, even the name was chosen by me personally. ”

Chun Ying's heart is beating the drum, the words of the Empress Wu are obvious hints, it is a fact that she relies on the identity of the Empress Wu's personal maid in the palace to fake the tiger, at this time, it is indispensable to have a weak heart, so she is particularly low eyebrows, "The slaves and maids are all sheltering Niangniang, they should not be self-righteous, if they take luck as a token, it is really funny!" After speaking, he picked up the fan and shook it gently beside the martial queen.

Empress Wu didn't feel hot, but when she glanced at the sun outside, she still tightened her eyebrows, "If you really have a few catties and a few taels, it's nothing to think of yourself." What I don't like is the kind of person who looks at people who shouldn't be watched, who moves their minds that shouldn't be moved, and who still wants to fight with me. ”

"Damn it!" Chun Ying suddenly realized that when the palace maid Xia He reached the age of leaving the palace, Empress Wu remembered the friendship between master and servant for many years, and gave her marriage, not wanting Xia He to refuse to marry, and selfishly wanted to get close to Li Hong, a young man who was the prince, and violated the majesty of Empress Wu, and was sentenced to capital punishment and no bones. It is no accident that this old thing has been brought up today, and what the Empress Wu is referring to is really obvious. She felt a false alarm, and quietly pressed her heart, thinking that it was a good opportunity to add fuel to the fire, and she must not miss it, so she made a straight face and pretended to be objective and fair, "You must know that one day you are the slave of the queen of heaven, and you should be the only one in your life...... It is time to make an example of those who refuse to keep to themselves. ”

Empress Wu heard her speak eloquently, and deliberately scared her with words: "Who are you talking about?" In my opinion, you are the same as them, I just don't bother to deal with the matter between you and King Xiang, and I haven't seen you secretly communicate with any guards and generals, why do you just stare at a few men from the Li family and don't let go? ”

Chun Ying didn't expect to dig a big pit with her own hands, and suddenly opened her mouth to stammer, and she was shocked into a cold sweat on a hot day, her knees were weak, and the fan in her hand also fell, and she said in fear: "The slave is guilty, please forgive the mother!" ”

Empress Wu didn't blink his eyes too lazy, "Look at your unproductive appearance, if you dare to do it, you must dare to do it, you have to learn from Wan'er hard." ”

Chun Ying couldn't determine the intentions of the martial queen, so she had to bow her head timidly and say yes.

"But, tell me, how to punish her? Reward merit, punish crime, I have always been a clear distinction between public and private. Empress Wu said again.

Haruka raised her head, terrified, "Me? Let me say"

"For such a big matter, why don't you summon the people of Lin She into the palace to discuss together? The slave is an elm pimple, and if she can't speak well, she can't get things done. "She learned to be obedient and used tricks to get away with it.

"Lin Erniang is about to spread her wings and fly high, what am I still doing with her? Moreover, she has a deep relationship with Wan'er's master and apprentice, and she must be protected in many ways. Why should I bother with that idleness? Empress Wu smiled and slapped her shoulder with her backhand, "Get up, it's cool to kneel, isn't it?" ”

Chun Ying hurriedly got up, rubbed her shoulders for Empress Wu, and said while rubbing: "What Niangniang is worried about." Wan'er is smart and talented, but unfortunately she still can't pass the level of the word 'love', and the slave and maid also sigh for her. ”

"It seems that I am dizzy and misunderstand you." Empress Wu's words were endless, "I thought you didn't deal with each other, and I was worried that you wouldn't be able to do things for me wholeheartedly." ”

"Where's the mother?" Chun Ying immediately denied it, very resolutely, "Shangguan Nu Shi is proud of her talents, although it is difficult to get close in private, but we are all Niangniang's slaves after all, for Niangniang to drive, at this point, all of us are working together." ”

Empress Wu twisted her head slightly: "Don't expect someone more talented than you to be more humble than you, even if it is like that on the face, people have another idea in their hearts." ”

Chun Ying was very convinced, and looked like she was being taught.

"Niangniang, what are you going to do with Wan'er?" She asked.

"It's not about disposal, everything depends on her creation, and she is about to soar." Empress Wu changed her tone and statement, which made Chun Ying more and more unable to guess the mystery. was full of suspicion, and heard Empress Wu say: "You go and find Wan'er, I have an errand for her." ”

Chun Ying got the order, didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to pass Wan'er.

In the government affairs hall, Wan'er's affairs have not been busy recently, but she seems to be a little idle, and the documents she handled have been turned around in the hands of several elders, and there have been no major changes, so she has a lot of worries. The only one who is worried is the closed prince Li Xian, she has seen him a few times in public, he is still thin and straight, and his bearing is noble, but the hidden worry that others are difficult to perceive seems to be more profound, and she even faintly saw a mysterious light in his familiar eyes, and this mysterious intuition made Wan'er feel strongly uneasy.

"Shangguan Wan'er!" Don't look at Chun Ying's attitude towards Wan'er in front of the Empress Wu is both affectionate and respectful, but when they meet secretly, it is not the same thing at all, she shouted very unceremoniously.

Wan'er was annoyed by this voice, and replied expressionlessly: "Chun Ying, what's the matter with you?" I'm on business, and I don't have the strength to talk to you. ”

Chun Ying was not to be outdone, and snorted coldly: "Don't think that I want to talk to you, I am afraid of you." If it weren't for the queen of heaven ordering me to come, I wouldn't want to be in the same room with you. ”

Hearing her say nondescript, Wan'er laughed dumbly.

This laugh stimulated Chun Ying's sensitive nerves, and she was dissatisfied: "What are you laughing at!" I've got it, and you'll weigh it yourself. Suddenly thinking of Wan'er's worrying situation, she changed her smug face, and picked up a piece of hemp paper on the desk with two fingers, "It's a pity, I'm afraid that I will never see the unique handwriting of Shangguan Nushi in the imperial decree again." ”

For the summons of the Empress Wu, Wan'er is mentally prepared at any time, as for Chunying's cynicism, she ignored it even more, and replied a few words: "That's natural, the conversion of handwriting is the current fashion, cursive has no new meaning, the seal is original, although I prefer to line grass, but the system is still good in regular script, thank you for reminding!" ”

Chun Ying was so angry that her teeth were itching, and it was not easy to attack, so she stomped her feet and said, "Whatever you want, clever words, fresh and benevolent." ”

Wan'er was happy: "It turns out that you also read the Analects." ”

Chun Ying was stunned, turned her head and left.

In fact, Wan'er didn't mean to make fun of Chun Ying, she didn't see Chun Ying as a fellow practitioner, but she didn't mean to deliberately slander and despise her. Chun Ying's obsession and fanaticism with Li Dan, the king of the prime minister, she saw it in her eyes and felt deeply.

Under the scorching sun, Wan'er hurried to see the Empress Wu.

Empress Wu sat in the shade, drinking chilled plum juice and tasting fresh melons and fruits dipped in fine sugar. Seeing Wan'er coming, he waved his clothes at her slightly, very kindly, "Wan'er, come here." ”

Wan'er saluted and stood solemnly in front of Empress Wu.

"Don't be so restrained! I called you today to say something considerate, and if you do that, I will not be able to speak. Empress Wu's tone sounded warm and drowsy.

"Thanks to the wrong love of the mother, the slave is flattered." Wan'er gave another salute.

Empress Wu took her hand and said softly: "I have always valued you and placed high hopes on you, so I often look stern...... Like your mother, I don't want to see you go astray......"

Wan'er knew in her heart that Empress Wu suddenly mentioned her mother, which was not a good sign.

She whirled around and said: "The slave is stupid, and she can't understand the hard work of the mother, she is really guilty, and she is ashamed of herself!" ”

Empress Wu smiled: "What a stupid child!" Sit down, and I'll have someone bring you syrup. ”

"The slave and maid are disrespectful, and they deserve it." Wan'er sat down on the side of the martial arts queen according to her words, and such an honor made her feel like a man's back, and she barely pressed her heart to wait for her.

Her alert and vigilant military queen never doubted, so she still spoke with a smile: "Wan'er, I am surprised and relieved that you can keep your distance from the prince, but does this mean that you have completely figured it out?" ”

Wan'er pretended to hesitate and replied: "The prince abandons the slave and maid like a shoe, and the slave and maid naturally have to be ashamed and brave, otherwise it is a trivial matter to be ashamed, and it is a great crime to shame the mother." ”

Empress Wu squinted her eyes slightly: "This sun is so strong!" ”

Wan'er raised her sleeves to block: "Niangniang, the sun has turned, do you want to change a place to enjoy the coolness?" ”

"I'm too troublesome, so that's it." Although Empress Wu said this, she beckoned someone to put the account.

This high curtain completely cut off the light and heat, but Wan'er's anxiety did not subside at all. She got up slowly and knelt down: "Niangniang, please speak." ”

Empress Wu sighed and made a helpless expression: "Okay! Sometimes I wish you could be blunt. There seemed to be a sullen breath rising in his chest, and he slowly spit out of his mouth, "I have conclusive evidence, my own son, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, secretly invited people to buy people's hearts, raised dead soldiers, assembled forbidden troops, and even secretly hid weapons...... He's finally going to do a good job to his mother! I always thought that he had the same gentleness as his father and brother, and now it seems that he is much more bold, maybe this is where he is like me, and where I can't tolerate it...... You say, as a mother, as a queen, what should I do? Should I worry about the relationship between mother and son, or the way of a king? Don't say that their country has nothing to do with me, the world has seen it all these years, and I am supporting it! said that I covered the sky with one hand, and that was also for their Li family's social protection from the wind and rain! ”

The words were indignant, Wan'er couldn't refute it, and looked at the most common bluestone bricks in the palace in a daze, and finally understood that Li Xian was trying his best to avoid her during this time, and embarked on a road of loneliness and danger. He didn't see her, there was always a reason, but she misinterpreted and neglected, and now the big mistake has been made, and there is no way to regret it.

Wan'er's forehead smacked heavily on the green brick: "Niangniang, please send, the slave is willing to be loyal to you." ”

Empress Wu was quite surprised: "I originally expected that you would be difficult to let go, and you would need to struggle for a long time. ”

"In the face of right and wrong, the slave and maid dare not hide their selfishness, so please give the order of the mother and let the slave and maid go to the East Palace to verify." Wan'er almost rushed to say, she knew very well that this person who went to the East Palace had to be her, and if she was replaced by those cool officials who were reused by the Empress Wu, everything would become unimaginable.

"Let me think about it." Things went too smoothly, and Empress Wu hesitated.

"Please make a decision immediately, otherwise the opportunity will be delayed, once the prince is aware, changes are inevitable, and I am afraid that there will be endless troubles." Wan'er's face was awe-inspiring, and her mood was extremely sad, but she condensed all her emotions like frost, "I have an old relationship with the prince, he must be unguarded against me, at this time, gentle words are better than swords, guns, swords, and halberds, please don't hesitate, and give the slave a chance to atone for her sins!" She knocked on the brick again.

The martial queen settled down, and the jaw head agreed. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find? Amway One or search for Hot/Degree/Net/Article "Remember to remove "/"Otherwise you won't be able to search", here is a young lady to help you find books and accompany you to chat!
