"I also deeply regret it. ”

Princess Taiping stretched out her voice, and did not hide the dissatisfaction in her heart, "I can completely understand your father's hatred of that woman, but there are many ways to fight, and using assassination to solve the problem is undoubtedly inferior, frankly speaking, this matter has already implicated me, and the saint is likely to suspect that it was my hand, how can you let me explain it to the saint?"

Shangguan Wan'er's return to her hometown to worship her ancestors was extremely secretive, it was Princess Taiping who leaked it to Wu Furong, and Princess Taiping knew about the assassination before she was alive, but she didn't stop it at all, but instead revealed Shangguan Wan'er's whereabouts to them, undoubtedly secretly encouraging them to do it.

But once the assassination failed, she began to accuse the Wu family of implicating her, Wu Furong didn't understand Princess Taiping's thoughts, she benefited from success, and the Wu family took responsibility for failure, which made Wu Furong very dissatisfied.

But now she has a request for Princess Taiping, and she didn't dare to express her anger in her heart, so she quickly explained: "Father also realized that there was something wrong with sending someone to assassinate, but the matter has already happened, we can only try to make up for it afterwards, in case of something, my father is also willing to take responsibility, and will never affect Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Willing to take responsibility?"

Princess Taiping snorted, "Can your father afford this responsibility? He is now the one who bears the guilt, once Li Zhen finds out that your father did this, do you think the Holy Lord will spare your father? Furong, if I guess correctly, it was Wu Sansi who leaked something to you!"

Wu Furong nodded silently, and said in a low voice: "The third uncle found my father a few days ago and gave me the letter between me and Xue Huaiyi, which moved my father very much, and the third uncle also said that the relics case was actually planned by Shangguan Wan'er behind the scenes, which made my father extremely angry. ”

"So your father decided to assassinate that woman?"

Princess Taiping was extremely dissatisfied: "Wu Sansi first used Xiao En Xiaohui to win over your father, and then led your father's hatred to that woman, do you think he is good-hearted? He deliberately lured your father to do stupid things, and finally let your father not be robbed, this is his purpose!"

Wu Furong looked back and thought about it again, and couldn't help but feel a horror in her heart, Wu Sansi and her father have always been enemies, how could he be so kind to clear up the relationship with Xue Huaiyi for himself, if her and Xue Huaiyi's letter is publicized, it is nothing more than her own guilt, but it has nothing to do with her father.

But Wu Sansi lured his father to assassinate Shangguan Wan'er, but it was a major crime that made his father fall into a catastrophe, Wu Sansi's scheming was so deep, and his intentions were so vicious, she and his father didn't realize it.

Wu Furong suddenly panicked, if Wu Sansi had any evidence of the assassination case and took the opportunity to sue his father to the saint, I am afraid that his father would really be in danger this time.

Now their only hope is that Princess Taiping can help her father, at this moment, Wu Furong can't care about the hatred of Princess Taiping in her heart, and hurriedly begged bitterly: "I beg the princess to help my father, great kindness, our father and daughter will be remembered." ”

The corners of Princess Taiping's mouth showed an imperceptible smile, she was waiting for this moment, she had already guessed Wu Sansi's plan, but she kept it silent.

On the one hand, of course, she also hopes that Wu Chengsi will get rid of that woman, on the other hand, she is also waiting for Wu Chengsi to fall into the trap dug by Wu Sansi, and then she will come to the rescue, so that Wu Chengsi will be willing to become her lackey, not a so-called ally, and she can also take the opportunity to hold Wu Chengsi's financial, manpower, and material resources firmly in her own hands.

In this assassination case, whether it is successful or not, she Li Lingyue is the winner.

Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows slightly, and said unhurriedly: "This matter is really not easy to do, but I will try my best to help your father, of course, I also need your cooperation, Furong, do you understand what I mean?"

Wu Furong nodded helplessly, and Princess Taiping immediately said: "First of all, I want to disband the Wu family generals, or merge them into my Taiping Mansion, you can go back and discuss this matter with your father first!"

Although Shangguan Wan'er's assassination was very secretive, and Shangguan Wan'er did not publicize it, this matter began to spread quietly in Luoyang officialdom under the impetus of people with good intentions.

Many officials only learned that Shangguan Sheren was not in Shendu, and they also knew that Shangguan Sheren had encountered assassins on the way back to their hometown.

In the morning, not long after the court meeting ended, Su Wei rushed into Li Dezhao's official room like a gust of wind, and shouted urgently: "Li Xiang, have you heard about the assassination of Shangguan Sheren?"

Li Dezhao had just been appointed by Wu Zetian as the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination, and his mind was on the imperial examination, and he seemed uneasy, until Su Wei said it for the second time, and Li Dezhao should come over.

"What did you say? Who assassinated Shangguan Sheren?"

"I don't know who assassinated it, but a lot of people are talking about the assassination, and I'm afraid it's true. ”

Li Dezhao's brows furrowed, he is a veteran of officialdom, and he knows that assassination is a taboo in officialdom, once this matter is known by the saint, I am afraid that the saint will never spare it.

Li Dezhao said worriedly: "I'm afraid this matter will cause an uproar again." ”

Just as Li Dezhao was worried, this matter quickly reached Wu Zetian's ears, she was first very shocked in her heart, and then she was furious, and immediately issued an order to order Cheng Lai Junchen in the imperial history to fully investigate the matter.

Wu Zetian stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, and said to Lai Junchen with a gloomy face: "If this matter is a rumor, find the person who spread the rumor for me, if this matter is true, I will find the murderer and punish him severely!"

Lai Junchen hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen obeys the order!"

He saluted and hurriedly retired, Wu Zetian's anger was still not gone, although Xue Huaiyi was also reckless, but after all, he was born in the market, and Wu Zetian did not really regard him as a courtier, so he designed to murder Shangguan Wan'er, although Wu Zetian was angry, but in the end he did not pursue it.

But this time there was an assassination case against Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Zetian was angry, but also very uneasy in her heart, she knew that it was her failure to investigate the assassination of Dongjiao that caused today's evil consequences, if she tolerated it again this time, it would be difficult to give Shangguan Wan'er an explanation.

Wu Zetian asked Wu Youxu to find him again, and ordered him: "You can take a thousand guards to Shaanxi County to escort Shangguan back to Beijing, and no more accidents are allowed!"

"Obey!" Wu Youxu saluted, then exited the imperial study and rushed to assemble the guards

Two days later, Shangguan Wan'er returned to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, under the strict escort of a large number of guards, and at this time, there were still two days before the much-anticipated Chunqiu imperial examination, and all kinds of news about the imperial examination had spread all over Luoyang, and the news of her assassination was diluted.

Shangguan Wan'er learned from Wu Youxu that the news of her assassination had spread in the government and the opposition, which really made her unhappy, she wanted to deal with this matter in a low-key manner, and didn't want to complicate this matter, but Lin wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, and someone wanted to disturb this pool of water.

Shangguan Wan'er pondered all the way and was silent, and when she entered the palace gate, she ordered someone to find Li Zhen over, and at this time, the relationship between her and Li Zhen became superior and subordinate again.

"Commander Li, I want to discuss the assassination with you, you go to my official room for a while, I will go to see the saint, and then come back and talk to you in detail. ”

Li Zhen nodded silently, "Obey the order!"

Shangguan Wan'er looked at him deeply, and when she wanted to speak, she smiled and said, "You go first! I'll talk to you later." ”

Li Zhen saluted, turned around and hurriedly went to Shangguan Wan'er's official room, not long after, Shangguan Wan'er came to Wu Zetian's imperial study, and a eunuch hurriedly went in to report, and after a while, the eunuch came out and smiled at Shangguan Wan'er: "The saint let the people in!"

Shangguan Wan'er slowly walked into the imperial study, only to see the Tang Empress Wu Zetian standing in front of the window with her hands in her hands, she hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Wan'er see Your Majesty!"

"You're finally back!"

Wu Zetian's face showed a heartfelt smile, she walked back to her seat and sat down, pointing to the mountains of scrolls next to her and said with a smile: "These need to be ordered, Taiping really wants to share my worries, but I still insist on waiting for you to come back." ”

Shangguan Wan'er's heart jumped, what the saint meant was that Princess Taiping wanted to take the opportunity to fight for her own right to make the edict, but was rejected by the saint, she was very moved in her heart, and hurriedly saluted again: "Thank you for your majesty's trust in Wan'er, Wan'er will go all out to solve problems for your majesty." ”

"Well, I'm used to you, and I'll have them sent to your office later, but there's something else I'd like to ask you. ”

Wu Zetian's gaze became fierce, and he looked at Shangguan Wan'er deeply, "I heard that you were stabbed, what's going on?"

In a small town about forty miles away from Shaanxi County, Wan'er and her mother stayed in the town overnight, but an assassin sneaked into the inn in advance and suddenly assassinated, thanks to the sacrifice of Commander Li's life, Wan'er escaped the catastrophe. ”

"Did Li Zhen save you again?" Wu Zetian asked meaningfully.

"Exactly, because he didn't bring many guards, he personally protected Wan'er all the way. ”

Wu Zetian smiled, she understood the meaning of Shangguan Wan'er's personal reference, it seems that this Li Zhen is indeed Wan'er's person, no wonder he can stand aside when Wan'er is putting on makeup.

"He always makes meritorious deeds, so how can I reward him?"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to reward him this time, let Wan'er repay his life-saving kindness to Wan'er!"

Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er often fall in love with mother and daughter, and sometimes they sympathize with each other like confidants, and they talk more casually and frankly between them, Shangguan Wan'er rejected Wu Zetian's kindness, Wu Zetian didn't feel offended, she just smiled and put the matter down.

"However, I must investigate this matter thoroughly, I will never tolerate the recurrence of the assassination of important officials of the imperial court, it is a matter of stability of the imperial court, and I will not tolerate the assassins again. ”

Wu Zetian's statement was expected by Shangguan Wan'er, and someone deliberately spread the news of his assassination, just to force the saint to strictly investigate the matter, this is definitely not to protect his own interests, but someone wants to take advantage of this matter to make trouble.

Shangguan Wan'er pondered for a moment and asked, "I wonder who His Majesty plans to send to investigate this case?"

"I have decided to let Lai Junchen take over this case, I hope Wan'er can cooperate with him and find out the real murderer behind the assassin, I will never spare it again!"

Shangguan Wan'er's heart suddenly swelled with a trace of unease, and the saint actually sent Junchen to investigate the case
