Li Qingsu did not intend to toss Wei's death, and after a month's punishment, Li Qingsu stopped. However, because of this month's torture, Webster lost more than ten pounds, and she looked several years older, and she was no longer as gorgeous as before, which made it very unfavorable for her to compete with other women for favor. However, after all, Webster followed Li Xian through weal and pain, and spent the most worrying and hardest days with him, in Li Xian's mind, Webster is different, although he still likes to be with beautiful women, but he still spends most of his time with Webster. And Webster quietly made a move, and within a few days, one of the beauties died because of a miscarriage, and it was found that it was the handiwork of another beauty, and the other beauty also ga vr. There were still two beauties left, who seemed to be frightened and did not dare to appear in front of Li Xian again, and Wei pulled Li Xian to his yard every day by discussing his daughter's marriage, and then began to monopolize Li Xian's favor again.

Under Merriam-Webster's arrangement, the marriage dates of the three daughters were decided. Li Qingsu married in the middle of Li Bao'er and Li Xianhui, but compared to these two, her wedding was much simpler, and Li Qingsu gained the sympathy and contempt of many people, but she handled it safely.

On the night of the candles in the cave room, Wei Jie wanted to taste the taste of the county lord, but he didn't eat it, and was fed a mouthful of Gu poison by Li Qingsu.

"In the future, you have to obediently listen to my words and cover for me, otherwise, I will let you die of rotten intestines."

Wei Jie was so frightened that he peed his pants, he actually married a poisonous flower and came back, and it was still highly poisonous! Does my aunt know? I don't know, otherwise I wouldn't have fed people to such a big age.

As a gentleman, in Luoyang, a place like Luoyang where a random brick can be smashed down and four or five nobles can be smashed to death, Wei Jie is very discerning and knows the current affairs Wei Junjie, although he was frightened, he quickly integrated into his role, continued to do the wind and snow outside, and put himself in the position of a servant at home, under Li Qingsu's orders.

However, Li Qingsu didn't embarrass him much, he usually let him play as much as he wanted, only occasionally let him cover for himself, and met many talented and capable people through him.

In front of Li Qingsu sat a man in his forties, looking at Li Qingsu with a scrutinizing gaze. Li Qingsu smiled at the corner of his mouth, calmly letting the man look at him.

After a long time, the man sighed and said, "I seem to see the second Martial Emperor His Majesty. ”

Li Qingsu chuckled: "It is Ji Jiang's blessing to be so evaluated by Lord Song." ”

Ji Jiang, Li Qingsu became the word taken after marriage.

Song Daren's name is Song Jing, and he is known as the four great sages of the Tang Dynasty together with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Yao Chong, which shows his talent and ability. This is the best helper candidate Li Qingsu thought of.

Song Jing said: "The county lord is humble, your bearing and ability are not possessed by the Martial Emperor when he was young. ”

"What about Aunt Taiping? I've heard people say that she is most like the Imperial Grandmother. ”

Song Jing shook her head: "Princess Taiping has the ability and means, but she is too arrogant, and her heart and knowledge are far from being as good as His Majesty the Martial Emperor. ”

"So Aunt Taiping wants to recruit you, and you don't agree?" Li Qingsu asked.

Song Jing: "The minister only has one life, and he can't play family games with the princess." ”

Li Qingsu asked: "Are you so sure that Aunt Taiping will not succeed?" ”

Song Jing: "With the county lord here, Princess Taiping will definitely not succeed." ”

Li Qingsu smiled: "Are you accepting my solicitation?" ”

Song Jing: "The minister doesn't want to have one more worm in his stomach." ”

Li Qingsu smiled: "Because I didn't have any power before, I had to use such unseemly means." But now, unless I can't, I won't use Gu worms to control others anymore. You must know that Gu worms are also difficult to refine. Moreover, the knowledge of the royal person also needs to be practiced more. ”

Song Jing: "Good! If the county lord wants to ascend to that position, some means must be abandoned. Otherwise, other people will also use shady means, and the world will be in chaos. ”

"That's what Lord Song said." Li Qingsu nodded in agreement.

The two talked a lot, Song Jing was impressed by Li Qingsu's insight and bearing, Li Qingsu also admired Song Jing's talent and ability, and the two were very happy to meet this time.

Six years have passed in a blink of an eye, and many things have happened in the past six years, the biggest of which is that Li Xian's son Li Chongrun and Li Xianhui's husband Wu Yanji were dissatisfied with Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Zongchang, and had a grudge with the two, Zhang Yizhi said bad things about Li Chongrun and Wu Yanji in Wu Zetian's ear, Wu Zetian was furious and forced Li Chongrun and Wu Yanji to commit suicide. Princess Yongtai Li Xianhui heard the bad news and died in childbirth.

The beloved son and daughter are dead, how can Li Xian not hate. The fear of Wu Zetian has gradually been replaced by hatred, especially Wei's often blowing wind next to her ear, which makes Li Xian bold, and secretly colludes with those ministers who want to restore the Tang Dynasty, secretly plotting, wanting to kill Erzhang and force Wu Zetian to abdicate.

In the first year of Shenlong, the eighty-two-year-old Wu Zetian was seriously ill, and everyone could see that Wu Zetian was going to die. Many people are starting to get moving...

"Princess Cheng'an, Your Majesty invites you to come to the palace to see you." A man in black suddenly appeared in front of Li Qingsu. Now, Li Qingsu's position has been promoted from the lord of Xinping to the princess of Cheng'an.

"Princess, don't go." His subordinates stared at the man in black vigilantly and stopped Li Qingsu.

Li Qingsu smiled slightly: "Summoned by the imperial grandmother, how can this palace not go?" Don't worry, if you dare to enter the palace, you will naturally have the ability to come back safely from the palace. ”

You must know that one-third of the people in the palace are her people now, and if she really annoys Wu Zetian, she can also get out of the way.

"Princess, please." The man in black led the way, let Li Qingsu get into a carriage that looked very simple, and sent Li Qingsu into the palace.

Li Qingsu came to Wu Zetian's dormitory and saw Wu Zetian, who was seriously ill in bed, but did not see her first assistant Shangguan Wan'er, nor did she see the second Zhang brothers.

"Sit down." Wu Zetian spoke.

Li Qingsu walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, and Ren Wu Zetian's sharp gaze looked at her from top to bottom.

"From the first time you accompanied your father into the palace to see me, I noticed you." Wu Zetian spoke.

Li Qingsu was surprised, she didn't expect Wu Zetian to notice her at that time, she was a small transparent existence in the eyes of most people at that time.

Wu Zetian continued, solving Li Qingsu's doubts: "Although you were very quiet at that time, and you looked as nervous and scared as everyone else on the surface, your saluting movements were very standard, and you have always been very polite, which is in stark contrast to the audacity of the two sisters, Li Bao'er and Li Xianhui. ”

"I see, I was exposed to your eyes so early." Li Qingsu was stunned.

"No, you weren't exposed either. At that time, I just thought you were more interesting, and I didn't bother to put too much thought into you, but I forgot about it in an instant. After all, you weren't able to get me to pay attention at that time. "Wu Zetian said.

"Then when did the imperial grandmother pay attention to her niece?" Li Qingsu asked curiously.

"Song Jing is your man, right?" Wu Zetian asked rhetorically.

Li Qingsu nodded: "You noticed me because of Song Jing?" ”

"Not bad." Wu Zetian said, "Song Jing was originally a capable minister I cultivated to Taiping. In addition to Song Jing, Yao Chong, Cui Xuanwei and others are all the team I arranged for Taiping, if Taiping can subdue them, even if I kill a few more old ministers and punish a few more people from the Li royal family, I will make Taiping a princess. It's a pity that Taiping was spoiled too much, too arrogant and too ignorant of the heavens and the earth, and instead of taking himself for his own use, he offended many people. ”

"I see." Li Qingsu understood, because Song Jing was a person who was favored by Wu Zetian, and he naturally had Wu Zetian's people around him, and all his actions to win over Song Jing fell into Wu Zetian's eyes. However, she didn't regret her move to win over Song Jing, not to mention that Song Jing's talent and ability were worth her risk, and she didn't think that Wu Zetian would be angry because of her efforts to win over Song Jing.

Sure enough, Wu Zetian was not angry, and said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, I am not angry with you, I am very happy, among my descendants, there is finally one like me." Many people say that Taiping is like me, but in fact, Taiping is more like her father. She likes to enjoy more than doing practical things, if she really makes Taiping the emperor, she is afraid that she will become a faint monarch who only knows how to enjoy. ”

"Many of my descendants have ambitions, but they don't have the ability to do so. Like Na Webster, she is very ambitious, but she has no ability or vision, she only values immediate interests, and if she takes the position, there will be a turmoil. Her daughter Li Bao'er, like her, is something that can't be put on the table. ”

Li Qingsu: "You have already chosen my father to be the crown prince, my father loves Wei so much, it is inevitable that she will ascend the throne." ”

Wu Zetian sighed: "No way, I'm old." Taiping can't do that position, your father has the support of those old ministers, and he is friendly with the martial family, after I leave, he can take refuge in the martial family, and I have to choose him. If I didn't have you, I would definitely regret it, but now with you, you won't let the country be harmed by Webster, right? ”

Wu Zetian said very firmly, which made Li Qingsu feel a little unhappy in his heart, and asked his younger brother with some sarcasm: "So, do you want to abolish my father's crown prince and pass the throne directly to me?" ”

Wu Zetian smiled: "Your father has long been involved with those old ministers who are interested in the Li Dynasty, even if I write an edict to pass on the throne to you, they will not recognize it." Besides, I don't think it's a good time for you to take over. Just experienced a queen taking control of the world, at least give these big men a little time to take a break. ”

Li Qingsu actually thought the same way, she didn't think that Wu Zetian would seize the throne as soon as he died. In this battle for the throne, there are still people involved, such as her uncle Li Dan's third son Li Longji, it is said that this person's ability and bearing are very extraordinary, and he is not a person who is willing to be subservient. Besides, there is also her good aunt, Princess Taiping
