Luoyang, the capital of the gods.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or whatever.

As soon as Ye Yuan entered the city, he always felt that under the prosperity of Luoyang, there was a strong sadness.

Shake your head vigorously to shove this unfounded thought out of your mind.

At the same time that Ye Yuan entered the city, in a dark corner outside the palace, two men in black were talking secretly.

One of the men in black said surgingly.

"Di Renjie is coming back!"

The tone was calm, as if it were just a very ordinary message.

But the other man in black was furious, stared at him, and asked coldly.

"Why didn't you kill him?"

"Why kill him?"

"With him, we can all have a day of exposure. Why don't you bury him in Chang'an City with him? ”

"It's a rare opportunity, and it can't be wasted because he's alone!"

"Hmph, preferably so."

The second man in black slapped up, but he couldn't do anything about the other party, and left the secret room angrily.

In the darkness, leaving only an emaciated figure, she suddenly turned around and muttered to herself facing the wall.

"I hunt geese all day long, but I am pecked by geese!"

Behind the wall, another female voice echoed.

"yes, misestimated."

…

Princess Taiping's Mansion.

Yes, there is also a princess mansion in Luoyang, and the layout is almost the same as the one in Chang'an.

Actually, this is a very normal thing.

The disadvantages of Chang'an City, which of the elders are not well aware.

As early as the reign of Li Zhi, the emperor and the holy queen had already begun to show signs of moving the capital.

These elites in the court have naturally begun to lay out a long time ago, and many of the land deeds in Luoyang have been covered by various forces.

Not to mention a small princess's mansion, even the mansions of major princes and nobles, this Luoyang has it.

It's a pity that almost all the major mansions now have no owners, and they all died in the explosion.

And all these belongings were taken away by Wu Zetian, who barely returned a mouthful of blood and renewed his life.

After Ye Yuan came to Luoyang this time, he did not continue to wander, but followed Di Renjie into the palace to meet him.

Actually, if he hadn't sensed that Wu Ling'er was living in the palace now, he wouldn't have come.

After all, he hasn't found a new home yet, so he can't sleep on the street at night.

As for sleeping in an inn, it's not convenient to talk about it.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Ye Yuan saw Wu Zetian on the dragon chair, this young and beautiful woman who was high-spirited in the past, and her complexion was very bad at this time.

Although, her face is covered with thick makeup, she can't see her original skin color clearly, and her hair is all black, but... The colors are somewhat unnatural.

"Asian sorcery?"

Ye Yuan was almost certain that Wu Zetian was really old.

None of that matters, though.

Shifting his gaze, Ye Yuan saw Wu Ling'er sitting next to the dragon chair, she was writing hard.

But even though she was busy, she still raised her head and exchanged glances with Ye Yuan.

For this "eyebrow flirtation", Wu Zetian is high up, and he naturally sees it in his eyes.

She said with a forced smile.

"You two little guys, Ling'er, you go out with Xiaochang and take a rest."

Wu Zetian's voice no longer has the warmth of the past, and there are only endless vicissitudes.

"Yes."

When everyone else left, only Wu Zetian and Di Renjie were left in the hall.

Wu Zetian leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and took a nap, and said casually.

"Huaiying, you and I have been a monarch for so many years, just ask if you have anything you want to ask!"

Di Renjie didn't hesitate, looked at the table next to the dragon chair, and asked.

"Your Majesty has made a decision?"

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Di Renjie to ask this question first, but she still answered truthfully.

"Now the only one who has the ability to help me is Ling'er, come over and see what she has done!"

"Your Majesty, Wechen is offended."

Di Renjie picked up a book of the recital that Wu Ling'er had just annotated, which was about the border war.

The handwriting is neat and majestic, the handling is generous and decent, and the details are also well arranged.

Even if it is handled by him, an old fritter in his seventies, it can't be better.

Wu Ling'er is so young, can she really do it?

Di Renjie couldn't help but flip through the other notes that had been annotated, whether it was people's livelihood or military, it was not bad in all aspects.

It's not at all like a young man's handwriting.

Wu Zetian looked at Di Chubby, who was shocked, and said with a chuckle.

"Scared?"

"Weichen has nothing to say, but if she is really chosen, the people of the world will be hearted..."

Di Renjie still likes Li Tang more, after all, they can be regarded as deep-rooted.

The Wu clan has a shallow foundation, it is just a product of the empress's forcible seedlings, and its strength is extremely weak, and there are many factions in the Wu clan, whether they will support Wu Ling'er is unknown.

What's more, the last Chang'an explosion killed all the powerful vassal kings such as Wu Chenghe.

In this way, there are only two or three big cats and kittens left in the Wu Clan, and the most powerful of them is probably the Ninth Order Peak Master, the mortal limit Wu Youchang.

But how can a Wu Youchang fight against Li Tang's powerful background.

Wu Zetian knew Di Chubby's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I used to think the same way, but Ling'er told me a secret that completely changed my mind."

Di Renjie was puzzled, what secret could make the empress change her mind, and it was about such a big event as the inheritance of the imperial throne.

"What's the secret?"

Wu Zetian's eyes suddenly bloomed with an astonishing light, and he said excitedly.

"It was two days ago, I summoned Ling'er over, firstly, to let her help me deal with government affairs, and secondly, to explain to her that for the sake of the stability of the world, I can only choose her uncle to inherit the throne."

"However, Ling'er told me that in this world, only she can be the emperor and sit firmly in this position."

Di Renjie frowned, dissatisfied with Wu Ling'er's arrogance, but he didn't have a seizure and asked.

"Why?"

Wu Zetian looked at Di Renjie and looked forward to his reaction.

"Because... She has broken through the boundaries of mortals, and without relying on national fortune, she has the power of the immortal realm. ”

"What, this can't be!"

Di Renjie's first thought was that he didn't believe it, since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, no one could rely on himself to ascend to immortality.

Wu Zetian smiled bitterly.

"I didn't believe it at first, until she unscrupulously used the power of immortals, but there was no adverse reaction. And most importantly, she did not borrow the power of national fortune! ”

Di Renjie wanted to refute, what kind of people's hearts in the world, what kind of national fortune can achieve this effect.

But he also knew clearly in his heart that these were useless in front of the real immortals.

Because the immortals in the court will die if they use the power once they exceed the limit.

In this world, there are a few people who do not spare their lives.

Moreover, even if they don't spare their lives, they don't go to the real immortals.

Wu Zetian glanced at the sluggish Di Chubby and continued.

"Moreover, Wu Youchang's little... He also broke through! ”

Di Renjie asked in disbelief.

"Your Majesty means that both of them are?"

"Yes, there will be no fake!"
