[] [This book first release website, Baidu direct search keywords] For seven or eight days in a row, Li Zhen was busy with Di Renjie's funeral, as a son-in-law and the head of the Di family, he had to take on more affairs, and it was not until after the first seven days that he was freed from the complicated funeral affairs and took a long breath.
This morning, Li Zhen sat in a small temporary study to read, because the first seven have passed, they have removed filial piety, and gradually returned to normal life, during this time, Li Zhen and his family live in the Di Mansion, there is an independent courtyard and a two-story building, although it is a little more crowded than his own home, but after all, it is the children's grandfather died, and no one will complain about the inconvenience of these lives.
At this time, the door opened, Di Yan walked in with a bowl of ginseng tea, although the filial piety clothes were removed, but they were still wearing plain clothes, without any bright colors, the death of her father made Di Yan obviously lose weight, and her eyebrows were depressed and uneasy, but her husband's dedication also made her very grateful, in her opinion, her husband also lost a lot of weight.
"Husband, let's drink a bowl of ginseng tea!"
The tea bowl was a little hot, Di Yan hurriedly put the bowl on the table, she looked at the very small temporary study again, and said to Li Zhen apologetically: "It's really embarrassing for you to stay in such a small place." ”
Li Zhen held her hand, pulled her into his arms, and said with a smile: "The study is just a place for me to rest, not to study, it's useless to have such a big place, and we will go home tomorrow, let's work hard for the last night!"
Di Yan put her face on her husband's chest and whispered, "It's really hard for you these days." ”
"Don't say that, everyone is working hard, I think you work ten times harder than me, you have to be busy inside and out, and you have to take care of the children. ”
"I didn't care much about the children, mainly whispering to take care of them, in fact, she was also very tired, but she never complained, silently undertook it, this time I owe her. ”
Speaking of this, Di Yan smiled again and asked, "Is the husband going to the court tomorrow?"
"Yes, the first seven are over, today is another day off, tomorrow should be busy, there are a lot of things backlogged in the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, and we have to start a normal life. ”
At this time, the voice of her daughter Li Hui came from the room, "Is Daddy here?"
Li Hui is six years old this year, very sensible and cute, and has always been Li Zhen's sweetheart, Di Yan hurriedly stood up from her husband, ?
went to the door and smiled: "What is Hui'er looking for Daddy for?"
"Mother is also here! Erniang said that there was something very important and asked her father to go to the inner hall, and I saw Aunt Wang crying. ”
Li Zhen was stunned, the aunt Wang that her daughter said was Yao Xi's wife Wang, and she was also Wang Qingyu's sister, Li Zhen felt a little bad in her heart, and quickly stood up and said, "Go and see!"
He and Di Yan walked quickly to the inner hall together, and as soon as they reached the door of the inner hall, Wang greeted him softly, pulled Li Zhen aside, and said in a low voice: "Fulang, Yao Xi has an accident?"
"What's wrong?"
Li Zhen asked nervously.
"I heard from the clan sister that a poison was detected in the medicine drunk by the saint in the palace, and this medicine was Yao Xi himself tormented, and now Yao Xi has been arrested and is ready to be severely punished. ”
Li Zhen immediately understood that it must be the Zhang family who was taking revenge on himself, first planting the blame on Yao Xi, and finally targeting himself, they would definitely use torture to force Yao Xi to confess that he was instructed by himself.
Li Zhen realized that the matter was serious, and after a little contemplation, he whispered to Wang: "Calm your sister first, and I'll find a way to save people." ”
He said to Di Yan again: "For the time being, live in Di Mansion, don't move back, it's safer here, be vigilant." ”
Di Yan gritted her teeth with hatred and said, "As long as they dare to come, see how I kill them." ”
Li Zhen didn't have time to joke anymore, he turned around and left the Di Mansion, and ran towards the imperial city with a few personal soldiers, and after a while, he came to the Ming Hall, and came to Shangguan Wan'er's official room, and said to a eunuch at the door: "Report to Shangguan Sheren for me, saying that I have something urgent to find her." ”
As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Wan'er's voice came from the room, "Come in! ”
Li Zhen hurriedly walked into Shangguan Wan'er's official room, Shangguan Wan'er seemed to know that he was coming, and pointed to the seat next to him with the pen in his hand, "Please sit down!"
With the passage of time, the relationship between them has long been as dull as water, Shangguan Wan'er has not considered taking Li Zhen for her own use, and Li Zhen no longer relies on Shangguan Wan'er, but this time, Li Zhen did come to Shangguan Wan'er for help, although Princess Taiping can also help with this, but Li Zhen knows that if he finds Princess Taiping, things will get worse.
?
Guan Wan'er put down her pen and smiled unhurriedly: "You are here for Yao Xi's business!"
"Sheren already knows?"
"How could I not know? The palace has been confused about this matter, saying that as long as the two accomplices confess, they can be exonerated, but as a result, these eunuchs and palace maids who are ignorant of the world have all bitten people indiscriminately, and now at least no less than 100 people have been arrested. ”
"How is Yao Xi?"
"He is locked up in a black prison in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is estimated that life will not be easy. ”
Li Zhen said coldly: "This is Erzhang taking revenge on me!"
"Revenge?"
Shangguan Wan'er snorted disdainfully, "You beat Zhang Changyi so badly, do you think they won't retaliate? Let me tell you, they not only want to take revenge on you, but also want to put you to death, once you are charged with killing the king, your whole family will not be able to escape this catastrophe, Li Zhen, you are already on the edge of the cliff." ”
Li Zhen was silent, he knew that Shangguan Wan'er was telling the truth, Di Renjie died, he was already at odds with Erzhang, if Erzhang didn't kill him, he would kill Erzhang in the future, he was busy with Di Renjie's funeral these days, and he didn't care about it, but the storm was quietly coming.
"Do you think the saint will kill me?"
After a moment of silence, Li Zhen asked again.
"It's hard to say, the saint's mind is ever-changing, sometimes she will shield you and reprimand Erzhang for you, but sometimes, she will listen to what Erzhang says, and it is incredibly confused, it depends on your luck, but...... Judging by the current situation, your luck may not be too good this time. ”
"Can you help me this time?"
Li Zhen asked again.
Shangguan Wan'er looked at him quietly for a moment, with a smile on her face, and asked bluntly, "If I say that I want to use sex as a condition, will you agree?"
Li Zhen was speechless for a while, and finally shook his head, Shangguan Wan'er's face immediately became gloomy, and he said coldly: "I know you won't agree, but if I help you, what good will I have?"
Li Zhen replied calmly: "I will save people's lives at a critical time, I mean sometime in the future." ”
Shangguan Wan'er laughed, shook her head and said, "It's too vain, I can't accept it!"
"What do you want?"
Shangguan Wan'er's eyes showed a trace of sadness, and she said in a low voice: "Actually, I just want to relive the old dream with you, but I don't want to force you, okay! I will help you this time, without any conditions, after all, you saved my life back then." ”
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Whether you want to accept it or not, I will not leave you in the future, I, Li Zhen, am a person who misses the old love, and I will repay you for the kindness that people gave me back then." ”
After speaking, Li Zhen stood up and gave a salute, turned around and walked away quickly, Shangguan Wan'er looked at his departing back, the sadness in her eyes became even stronger, and it took a while for her to whisper to herself, "I was born before you were born, and I am old when you were born."
Although Shangguan Wan'er promised to help Li Zhen help him this time, she didn't expect that as the impact of Di Renjie's death slowly weakened, the saint's severe punishment of the Zhang brothers became weaker and weaker, and he loved the Zhang brothers as before, so it was difficult for Li Zhen to pass this time.
The key is Yao Xi, whether he can resist Wu Yizong's torture, but what can he do, Wu Yizong is easy for him to draw a fingerprint on his fingerprint, so letting Yao Xi get away with the crime is the top priority, Shangguan Wan'er thought about it and decided to talk to the saint.
Di Renjie's death made Wu Zetian feel guilty and dissatisfied with Zhang Changzong, but a few days later, because Zhang Changzong redoubled his service, Wu Zetian was angry, and she loved Zhang Changzong as usual, and even Zhang Changzong resisted the decree not to worship Di Renjie, Wu Zetian finally accommodated him and was no longer reluctant.
The poisoning case that happened in the palace this time made Wu Zetian extremely angry, and ordered a strict investigation, so that there was a lot of trouble in the palace, and she did not give in, even if she killed hundreds of people, she also found out the murderer behind the scenes.
In the dormitory, the chamberlain Xia Zhong was carefully reporting the progress of the poisoning case to Wu Zetian.
"Your Majesty, it is basically certain that the imperial doctor Yao Xi is suspected of poisoning, and it is said that he has admitted to poisoning and only wants to die. ”
"Is it Imperial Doctor Yao?"
Wu Zetian frowned, she liked Yao Xi's massage to herself the most, the acupuncture points were accurate, the force was not light or heavy, every time she finished the massage, she was relaxed, his skills were no less than Shen Nanmu back then, I heard that Yao Xi was poisoned, she immediately felt a little uncomfortable, if Yao Xi had, then who would massage herself in the future?
And...... If he wants to kill himself, it is so easy, is it necessary to poison him?
"Is it sure of him?"
Wu Zetian asked with some displeasure.
Xia Zhong was extremely slippery, he would definitely not take the matter on himself, he hurriedly said: "The old slave just went to ask the king of Hanoi who was in charge of this case, and he said that Imperial Doctor Yao had confessed. ”
"Is it a trick?"
Wu Zetian said coldly, she knew very well that Wu Yizong's methods were better than those of Lai Junchen back then.
"This. How to try the case, the old slave really doesn't know. ”
"Go and get Wu Yizong for me!"
"Yes, the old slave obeys!"
Xia Zhong panicked and ran towards Ying Tianmen.
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er quietly appeared beside Wu Zetian, this is her prerogative, seeing that Wu Zetian does not need any retribution, as has been the case for decades, she asked softly: "Is Your Majesty still angry about the poisoning case?"
Wu Zetian nodded sullenly, "I just got a report from Chief Manager Xia, and it was actually Imperial Doctor Yao who poisoned me, which really puzzled me. ”
Shangguan Wan'er was secretly happy, she knew the saint very well, as long as the saint was in doubt, then there was hope that this matter would be resolved, she pretended to be surprised and said: "No, how could it be Imperial Doctor Yao, is it necessary for him to poison?"
"I also feel very puzzled, he can get the closest contact with me, if he wants to harm me, he can do it with his eyes closed, if I can't even trust the imperial doctor, who else can I trust? ”
Shangguan Wan'er suddenly knelt down, and Wu Zetian was startled, "Wan'er, who are you?"
