The people rushed over and shouted, "Father."

"Dan'er ......"

"Xiangwang ......"

After a while, Longji helped Li Dan to sit on the ground, and Sister Xiu clicked a few times on Li Dan's chest, and Li Dan slowly woke up and shouted urgently, "Monster, monster......

Longji hurriedly said, "Father, don't be afraid, it's okay, the monster has been beaten away."

Li Dan looked to the side and said in surprise, "The monster ran away? Did you really run away?"

Longji hurriedly said, "Well, don't be afraid, the monster was beaten away by us and will never come back."

Li Dan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, it's good to go, it's good to go."

Seeing that Li Dan was calm, Longji hurriedly said, "Father, my mother is her...... She's really ...... by monsters."

Li Dan said bitterly, "Your mother, she...... She was killed by a monster in prison, and her father was useless, and she didn't protect your mother, blame me, blame me...... and she was in pain.

Longji suddenly collapsed to the ground, and said urgently, "How did my mother die? Why did they kill her? Why?"

Li Dan said bitterly: "It's my father who is bad, it's my father who hurt your mother......

Longji said bitterly, "Father, ......."

Wu Zetian felt pain in his heart and persuaded: "Longji, don't force Dan'er, it's all to blame, that demon Yulan hates me, in order to take revenge on me, she wants to kill Dan'er, and your mother wants to save your father, so ...... That's why I fell victim to the evil hand."

Longji said hatefully, "It's this jade fox again......

At this time, he saw the general leading people to carry the soldiers from behind, bowed down and said, "Report to the emperor, Captain Gao has found it."

Seeing that Lux was in a coma and a large pool of blood between his crotch, Longji was shocked and hurriedly said, "Big brother, what's wrong with my eldest brother?"

The general hesitated and hurriedly said, "Captain Gaodu, he ...... He was hit with a brass hammer...... I hit the bottom and bled a lot......

The sky will not dawn, outside a palace in the Luoyang Imperial Palace in the capital

Longji, Meiren, Wu Zetian, Wu Zhong, Li Dan, Princess Taiping, Zhang Cambodia, Xiaoyu and others gathered at the door waiting for the news inside, looking very anxious.

Longji walked back and forth, and said urgently, "Why hasn't you come out for so long?"

The beauty persuaded, "Don't worry, with Sister Xiu and Qingnu inside, Lux should be fine."

Longji was worried, "But the Imperial Doctor said that he was worried about his life, and they have been in for so long, what happened? Really."

At this time, I saw the door squeak open, and two palace maids came out with a basin of water stained red with blood.

Everyone was shocked, and Wu Zetian hurriedly said, "It's out."

Seeing Sister Xiu, Qingnu and a few imperial doctors coming out, Longji hurriedly said, "How is it? How is he?"

Sister Xiu said, "Don't worry, Lux is not in danger of his life now."

Longji was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "That's good, that's good...... What's wrong? It's not life-threatening, how can you ...... What?"

Sister Xiu and Qingnu looked at each other, embarrassed for a while, and didn't know what to say, Longji hurriedly said, "What's wrong? What are you? Lord Zhu, what the hell is going on?"

Imperial Physician Zhu hesitated slightly, bowed down and said, "Back to the county king, although Gao Duwei is not in danger of his life, but because of the serious injury, I am afraid that he will ...... in the future I can't do anything." The crowd was shocked.

After a while, everyone dispersed, and in the room, Lux was lying on the bed covered with a quilt and fell asleep, his face was pale, and Longji sat on the edge of the bed and held Lux hand, feeling sad.

The beauty stood next to her, hesitated, stretched out her hand to support Longji's shoulder, and persuaded, "Longji, don't be too sad."

Longji looked at Lux and said bitterly, "Big brother, how can you be ...... like this" shook his head painfully.

In the morning, the main hall of the palace in Luoyang, the capital

In the hall, the ministers stood in line, while Wu Sansi looked a little panicked, and his soul was not guarded, Wu Zetian slowly walked up to the throne with the support of Gonggong Hong, and turned to look below.

All the ministers shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Kneeling down.

Wu Zetian looked at everyone, slowly sat down and nodded, "Zhongqing."

Flat."

The ministers hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Emperor." Standing up and looking up, he saw that although Wu Zetian was wearing a yellow robe, he felt a lot older overnight, full of silver hair, shocked, and looked at each other.

Wu Zetian glanced at everyone and said, "You must think it's strange, why does my hair look so white overnight, and I don't even know me?"

The ministers were taken aback, Zhang Cambodia thought for a while, stepped forward and bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, the aging of the human body is a natural phenomenon, and no one can stop it, even the emperor, I'm afraid it is no exception, but no matter how old you are, the emperor, you are still the emperor of our Great Zhou, the king of a country."

The ministers hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, yes......

"Yes, yes......"

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Zhang Qing's family is really good at talking, but ah, how do I think, some people don't think so in their hearts, and they always think about murdering me in their hearts."

The ministers were shocked, but they couldn't help but look at Wu Sansi, Wu Sansi was shocked, hurriedly took off his official hat and knelt on the ground, and hurriedly said: "The minister is guilty, the minister deserves ten thousand deaths, and the crimes deserve ten thousand deaths."

Wu Zetian looked at Wu Sansi coldly, and said coldly, "Guilty? Don't think that if you pretend to be pitiful like this, I won't kill you, you colluded with demons to bring harm to the court, you really deserve death."

Wu Sansi was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty."

Wu Zetian looked at everyone and sighed, "Zhang Qingjia, what do you think I should do with this chaotic minister and thief?"

Zhang Cambodia looked at Wu Sansi, thought for a while, bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the king of Wei colluded with demons and harmed the court, and the crime is unforgivable, and he should be beheaded."

Wu Sansi was so shocked that he cried anxiously: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty."

Zhang Cambodia hesitated and said: "However, last night in the operation to rescue the emperor, King Wei was able to distinguish right from wrong, turn back in time, and order the forbidden army not to help each other, avoiding a big killing, which shows that he has a heart of repentance, and he has indeed made meritorious contributions, and he can redeem his merits."

Wu Zetian was surprised: "Will the merit be atoned?"

Zhang Cambodia said: "But the crime committed by the King of Wei is very great, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, and the emperor can deal with it at will without harming the life of the King of Wei."

All the ministers nodded yes, Wu Zetian thought for a while and nodded, "Well, okay, then as Zhang Qingjia said, come here."

Wu San was startled, and several forbidden soldiers walked into the door and bowed down and said, "Here."

Wu Zetian ordered: "From today onwards, Wu Sansi, the king of Wei, will be removed from all titles and official positions, demoted to a commoner, imprisoned in a heavenly prison, and will be sent down."

Several of the forbidden soldiers bowed and said, "Yes." Carrying Wu Sansi to the door.

Wu Sansi was overjoyed, and shouted from afar: "Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie for his grace not to kill, Emperor Xie."

Wu Zetian watched Wu Sansi retreat, sighed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen."

The ministers were startled, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The ministers are here."

Wu Zetian said with emotion: "During the days when I was imprisoned by the monster, although the monster tortured me to the point that life was worse than death, and it was very painful, but in my heart, it was rare to have such a pure and sober life......

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty ......."

Wu Zetian stopped and said, "You guys have finished listening to me...... Especially Concubine De, she used her life to teach me a very important lesson, so that I understood some of the meaning of life." c

The ministers were amazed and said, "Meaning?"

Wu Zetian smiled and nodded, "Yes, Concubine De could not have died, but in order to protect King Xiang, she would rather die by herself...... This kind of family affection, this kind of deep love between husband and wife, makes me very moved...... Since I ascended the throne, it should have been a full sixteen years, and I have been the emperor for a long time, but in these sixteen years, in addition to power, what have I gained? You say, 'What have I gained?'"

All the ministers were gloomy for a while, and Wu Zetian continued: "In the past sixteen years, I have firmly grasped the power, but I have lost my family affection, the children and relatives around me, they are

Fearing me, staying away from me, and even being deeply hurt by me, I really don't have more to gain than I lose...... If I had the opportunity to choose again, I would never choose this filthy power again......

The ministers were startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty......"

Wu Zetian said bitterly: "Fortunately, although I have committed a great sin, but my children, Prince Xian, Xiang Wang Dan, Taiping, and my good emperor Sun Longji, etc., they all still treat me as their relatives, their mothers, grandmothers, and you, and give me a little thin face to the dying and dying man, when I am your emperor, the emperor of this Great Zhou...... This is very gratifying to me, really gratifying...... After this incident, I have completely figured it out and thought it through...... I have decided to abdicate, return this throne to the Li family, return it to Li Tang, and live a few years of idle clouds and wild cranes."

The ministers were shocked, and a minister hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this must not be, absolutely not, Your Majesty."

The ministers hurriedly chimed in: "Your Majesty, don't ...... the Emperor."

Wu Zetian stopped and said, "You don't need to say much, I have made up my mind."

The ministers were startled, looked at each other, Wu Zetian slowly stood up, held the hand of Gong Hong on the side, looked around, then turned to look at the throne, stroked it, and said gloomily: "This seat, I have been sitting for a long time, tired, and tired, it's time to change people." As he spoke, he staggered to the back with the help of Gonggong Hong.

The ministers watched Wu Zetian walk away, looked at each other, and hurriedly knelt down the mountain and shouted, "Congratulations to the emperor...... Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

In the morning, the mourning hall of the Xiangwang Mansion in Luoyang, the capital

The coffin of the princess is placed in the mourning hall, and the huge white inscription in the mourning hall is particularly eye-catching and dazzling, and the monks on both sides are knocking on the wooden fish, reciting the scriptures, and the Sanskrit sound is bursting.

Li Dan, Longji, Beauty, Xiaoyu and Dai Xiao knelt on the side and burned the paper, choked in a low voice, with a sad expression, Xiaozhi stood on the side to accompany them, and Sister Xiu and Qingnu stood on the side wearing white flowers with gloomy expressions.

At this time, he saw the official at the door shouting, "A guest has arrived."

Heng'an Wang and his wife came in slowly, walked to the spirit, took the incense handed over by the housekeeper and bowed three times, handed it back to the housekeeper and plugged it in, and walked in front of Li Dan and Longji.

King Heng'an advised: "In-laws, virtuous sons-in-law, people cannot be resurrected after death, please mourn."

Mrs. Wu advised the beauty, "Don't be too sad, pay attention to your body."

Li Dan and Longji couldn't help but nod their heads, but the beauty couldn't help but fall into the princess's arms and choked up, "Mother."

Mrs. Wu hugged the beauty and comforted, "Don't be sad, don't be sad." But I couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears......

At this time, I saw a voice outside shouting, "The emperor has arrived."

Everyone was startled and hurriedly looked outside, but saw Princess Taiping and Gonggong Hong slowly walking in with Wu Zetian.

Everyone hurriedly greeted him, knelt down and saluted, "Knock to see the emperor."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Get up, get up quickly."

Everyone hurriedly said, "Thank you, Emperor."

Li Dan was surprised, "Mother Emperor, why are you here?"

Wu Zetian glanced at the Lingtang and said, "I came to see Concubine De, send Concubine De, and give Concubine De incense."

Everyone was shocked, and Li Dan hurriedly said, "Mother Emperor, this ...... Madame, she is your daughter-in-law, how can you incense her?"

King Hengan persuaded: "Your Majesty, this emperor gives incense to his courtiers, and his mother-in-law gives incense to his daughter-in-law, which is not in accordance with the rules."

Wu Zetian was dissatisfied: "Unruly? The rules are set by people, so naturally you can change it, I can say yes, don't stop me, give me incense."

Everyone was stunned, the housekeeper hesitated with the incense, and Gonggong Hong hurriedly said, "What are you still doing in a daze, bring it quickly."

The butler was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." Hurriedly respectfully handed the three sticks of incense to Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian took the incense, stepped forward, held the incense and bowed three times, and said silently: "Concubine De, they say that I am the emperor, you are a courtier, I can't worship you, I'm afraid you can't stand it...... However, I said that you can afford it, I respect you very much, you value love and righteousness, you are a rare good daughter-in-law, you have taught me a lot, made me think a lot of things clearly, and from this point of view, you are not just my daughter-in-law

, is my teacher, so, I worship these three times, you can afford it...... I have come to see you for the last time, and I hope you will forgive me for my previous offenses and ascend to Bliss sooner." As he spoke, he bowed down and bowed three times, and then handed the incense to the butler on the side to help him insert it.

Li Dan hurriedly said, "Mother Emperor......"

Wu Zetian turned to look at everyone and comforted: "Dan'er, I feel very sad and sorry for the death of Concubine De, but the deceased is gone, and your life will go on.
