The night of Chinese New Year's Eve did not disperse until late at night, when the gate was closed, all the disciples stayed in the martial arts hall, and Li Zhen walked home with Jiuzhi and Zhang Li, although he drank a few more glasses, he was in good spirits tonight, and it was the most pleasant Chinese New Year's Eve in recent years.

"Lao Li, it's a pity that Xiao Xi didn't come. ”

"There's no way to do that, being a royal doctor in the palace is like that, others rest, they're busy. ”

"That's it, originally you just let him be a temporary imperial doctor for a few days, but this kid is addicted, think about seeing the palace maid every day, kneading and pinching, I am willing to do it!"

Listening to the wine chise, the three of them laughed together.

Walking into the gate, they saw Li Quan digging something in the yard with a hoe, the three of them were curious, and they came up together, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Li Quan ignored them, but buried a pair of her husband's broken shoes in the freshly dug soil pit, and Jiuzhi scratched his head and said abruptly: "My mother was like this on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, I asked her why she buried my broken shoes, and she said that I would be an official in this way." ”

Li Zhen smiled: "My pair of white-rimmed boots seem to be worn out, are they also buried?"

"I've buried it for you, just under the peach tree in your yard. ”

Li Quan said angrily: "I put two small packets by the well in your yard, one is twenty-seven pockmarked seeds, and the other is twenty-seven small beans, and you remember to throw them into the well when you pass by." ”

"Why is that?"

"Plague!" Li Quan replied to him stiffly.

"Sister, you seem to be a little unhappy. ”

Li Zhen looked at the eldest sister's face and asked cautiously, "Hasn't my brother-in-law come back yet?"

"He'd better die outside and not come back. ”

Li Quan picked up the hoe, turned around and left, at this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves and wheels outside, and then someone knocked on the door, "Please open the door, Mr. Cao is back." ”

Li Quan hurriedly ran over to open the door, and Li Zhen also walked to the door, only to see a servant walking in with a drunken Cao Wen, "Madam, Mr. Cao only drank three glasses of wine, and he was drunk like this." ”

Li Quan frowned, she knew that her husband was very shallow, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support Cao Wen, and then a young woman's voice came from behind her, "I'm sorry, we didn't take care of it." ”

Everyone was followed by a richly dressed young woman, she had a pretty face, combed high cloud temples, and the jewels on her head were shining, she stepped forward and saluted, "I didn't expect Mr. Cao to be drunk, my father asked me to send him back, I have my father's gold medal, I can open the door." ”

Li Quan knows this woman, it is Wu Sansi's daughter Wu Dingxiang, last time Cao Wen was frightened by a leopard, she also came, although Li Quan felt a little uncomfortable, felt that this martial girl was too enthusiastic, but people said very clearly, it takes a gold medal to open the door, she hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Thank you Miss Wu!"

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Wu Dingxiang saluted, smiled at Li Zhen and nodded, turned around and got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove away.

At this time, the housekeeper Uncle Lin came out and helped Li Quan help Cao Wen into the inner courtyard, and Li Zhen also returned to his east courtyard......

Outside the Fengyi Hall, the imperial doctor Shen Nanmu took his apprentice Yao Xi and hurriedly walked up the steps to the emperor's dormitory, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, originally not Shen Nanmu was on duty, but Shangguan Wan'er trained him and ordered him to be on duty tonight.

Shen Nanmu remembered what Shangguan Wan'er had said to him a few days ago, and he was really a little nervous in his heart, what would happen tonight? He was a little expectant in his heart, but he was also very nervous.

He walked quickly to Wu Zetian's bedroom, turned back to his apprentice Yao Xi and instructed, "You just wait for me here, I will call you if there is something." ”

"Yes!"

Yao Xi stood at the door with the medicine box and waited, at this time, Shangguan Wan'er happened to walk out of the room, glanced at Shen Nanmu, and said with a smile: "The Holy Lord is waiting for you in the room, you have to serve well." ”

"Humble duty understands!"

Shen Nanmu walked in with a massage bag, the room was exceptionally warm, filled with a faint fragrance, there were eight palace maids standing next to a big hibiscus tent, Wu Zetian was lying on an unusually soft bed, covered with a thin brocade quilt, her eyes were half-closed, as if she was waiting for something.

At this time, Shen Nanmu washed his hands, dried them with a soft cloth, knelt down in front of the bed, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Weichen came to massage Your Majesty." ”

Wu Zetian half-narrowed his phoenix eyes, looked at him deeply, and said with a meaningful smile: "Disturb Imperial Doctor Shen's rest, I am sore today, you can pinch me well." ”

"Yes!"

Shen Nanmu rolled up his sleeves and put his hands into the quilt, his body shook slightly, his face suddenly warmed up, he hurriedly lowered his head, and carefully pinched Wu Zetian's body, Wu Zetian squinted and enjoyed his kind of meticulous gentleness that men rarely have, she was tired of Xue Huaiyi's rudeness, at this time she preferred Shen Nanmu's thoughtfulness and carefulness.

After a while, Wu Zetian's eyes slowly became hot, her charming eyes glanced at Shen Nanmu warmly, and a jade hand gently clasped his wrist.

"Your Majesty. Down!" Shen Nanmu said in a trembling voice.

The two palace maids walked quickly behind Shen Nanmu, brushed the ground, and pulled up the thick curtain......

Yao Xi was pacing back and forth outside the dormitory, patiently waiting for the master to come out, at this time, a eunuch walked out quickly and handed a piece of jade to Yao Xi, "Yao Shaolang, your master asked you to send this piece of jade to the master." ”

Yao Xi was shocked, took the jade and asked, "Isn't my master coming out?"

The eunuch glanced at him with a strange smile, "Don't ask so much, your master is going to stay here tonight, go quickly!"

After all, Yao Xi had been in the palace for some time, and he understood a lot of things, so he hurriedly squeezed the jade tightly, and walked quickly outside the palace with the medicine box.

The night of Chinese New Year's Eve is destined to be a night when many people cannot sleep, and in the White Horse Temple, twenty miles east of Luoyang, the sacred capital, a ten-zhang tall lamp tree stands on the earthen mountain behind the White Horse Temple, with brilliant lights and bright light wheels, which are clearly visible dozens of miles away.

Xue Huaiyi was dressed in a golden silk robe, wearing a Pilu crown on his head, holding a golden staff and standing under the lamp tree, his eyes staring coldly at Luoyang City in the distance, he had planned to return to Luoyang today, make amends to Wu Zetianping, and spend Chinese New Year's Eve with her*, they spend Chinese New Year's Eve like this every year.

But he never imagined that just as he was about to go out at noon, he got an urgent message from Luoyang, and his henchman, Wang Hongyi, who served the imperial history, was dismissed and investigated for the crime of bullying the king, and at the same time, the saint issued an order to blame him for not strictly controlling the monks and removed him from the post of general of the right guard.

This was like a blow to the head, knocking Xue Huaiyi unconscious, he couldn't imagine that things would become so strict, so he couldn't help but panic.

Frankly speaking, Xue Huaiyi is not a slow person, but habit is a bad thing, for so many years, he has long been accustomed to the connivance of the Holy Lord to him, used to doing whatever he wants, and he has done things that are ten times stricter than Wei Shi's plan, and he has not been punished in any way.

So when Weish's plan was exposed, he didn't take it seriously, but instead sent hundreds of warrior monks to intercept the gold shipped from Songnanguan, which was his wealth, how could it fall into someone else's pocket? He was also accustomed to the Holy Lord being angry with him for this, and then summoned him back to serve him in a few days.

When habit blinded his vigilance, he naturally became sluggish.

It wasn't until he learned that he had been dismissed from the post of general of the right guard, that he finally woke up to the fact that Weish's plan was by no means a trivial matter, and the saint had begun to distrust him, and the monks of the White Horse Temple were rampant and domineering outside, and they had been like this for many years, but this time not only did someone publicly kill his thirty Hu monks, but he was also demoted because of this.

Realizing that something was wrong, Xue Huaiyi began to panic, he was a little at a loss now, would he be even more humiliated if he went back in such a hurry?

In order to attract the attention of the saint, he specially lit a hundred-foot-high lamp tree on Chinese New Year's Eve, standing on the Ming Hall, the saint should be able to see, so will she suddenly miss herself and take herself back?

At least Xue Huaiyi had such expectations, but he never dreamed that at this time, his female emperor was already sleeping in bed with other men.

"Master, the night is cold and the wind is cold, let's go back to the temple first!" Xue Huaiyi's confidant disciple Meiji persuaded in a low voice.

Xue Huaiyi has long been tired of women, he is now interested in the little monk with clear eyebrows, he raised twelve handsome little monks, he was nicknamed the twelve Vajra protectors, this Meiji little monk is one of them, he is deeply favored, and he almost obeys his words.

Xue Huaiyi was also so cold that his legs were shivering, he was right to think about it, if the holy decree came to summon him, he would also go to the temple, Xue Huaiyi nodded, and walked towards the temple under the mountain surrounded by all the monks.

Xue Huaiyi lives in the Buddha Palace is located in the middle of the White Horse Temple, covers an area of more than 200 acres, is completely built in accordance with the appearance of the Yaoguang Palace, the palace is magnificent, the eaves and corners of the pillars and beams are all coated with gold powder, it is gorgeous and dazzling in the sun, the brilliance is dazzling, the pavilions around are exquisitely shaped, the lake is swaying, and the green trees are shady.

The exquisite and luxurious furnishings in the palace are even better than the palace, and the money and treasures that Wu Zetian has rewarded Xue Huaiyi for many years are piled up.

Usually with a little leisure, Xue Huaiyi would always take his twelve protectors to fool around in the treasure pile, but although today was Chinese New Year's Eve, he was not in the mood.

In the meditation room, Xue Huaiyi paced back and forth with his hands in his hands, the sky was getting dark, and there was no news of any holy oracle on the road, and he almost had no hope.

The question now is, how can he save this situation, he is willing to apologize and confess his guilt, and he is willing to give up his position as the head of Longyou Dao, but the key is what should he do?

Should he return to the palace or wait for the Holy Lord's summons?

"Abbot, I think—"

Meiji, who was standing on the sidelines, said very implicitly, "We should find out where the enemy is first, and who can help us?"

Meiji's common name is Li Ming, he was originally a scholar, he has read a lot of books, he is not as vulgar as other little monks, and he also understands things better, so he is deeply favored by Xue Huaiyi.

He reminded Xue Huaiyi in one sentence, yes, who is his enemy?

His enemy, of course, is Shangguan Wan'er, who has always wanted to get rid of himself and then quickly, and the assassination of the winter hunt has formed a deep enmity between them that is difficult to reconcile.

But Xue Huaiyi suddenly appeared, and the people he thought could help him, such as Lai Junchen, Princess Taiping, Wu Sansi, etc., seemed to remain silent.

He walked slowly to the window and stared at the bright lights and trees on the hill for a long time.

"Can't sit still!"

At this moment, Xue Huaiyi made up his mind, he couldn't be silent because of this, he had to do something, he had to let Shangguan Wan'er know that it was not so easy to deal with him Xue Huaiyi.

Xue Huaiyi thought of a person at this time, and he quickly thought in his mind, should he just take this person under the knife?
