Not long after, Zhao Qiuniang came in a hurry on horseback, she turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to Li Zhen's official room, seeing Li Zhen sighing in the room, she was surprised in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "General, what happened?"

"Close the door!"

Zhao Qiuniang hurriedly closed the door, came to Li Zhen's side, and looked at him, "What happened?"

Li Zhen was depressed in his heart, and he really wanted to find someone to talk to, the eldest sister was not there, Zhao Qiuniang was undoubtedly the best person to talk to, he smiled bitterly, and briefly said that Wu Zetian had summoned him, but he hid a relationship between him and Shangguan Wan'er.

Zhao Qiuniang was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, this was the most unbelievable thing she had ever heard, she couldn't help but want to laugh, and couldn't help laughing: "It's no wonder, your heroic appearance when riding a horse and shooting arrows is really attractive to women, even I am tempted, let alone a female emperor." ”

Li Zhen's face flushed, "Eldest sister, don't be joking, I'm dying of sorrow, give me an idea, how to avoid this catastrophe." ”

Zhao Qiuniang heard him call her eldest sister, and she felt warm in her heart, she thought about it and smiled: "You can find someone from the official house to help, I think she should have a way." ”

Li Zhen shook his head, "She has no choice!"

"Then find Gao Fujun and listen to his advice?"

Li Zhen sighed, "It's that he came to me to enter the palace, if he has a way, he will tell me halfway, so that he won't keep a bitter face, it's useless to find anyone now, unless I go to Aunt Gongsun and ask her to give me a dose of medicine, so that the female emperor will die for me from now on, but I don't want to take that kind of medicine." ”

"Even if you want to take medicine, my master will not agree, she will not offend the female emperor. ”

Zhao Qiuniang knew that the master's heart for fame and fortune was so heavy, how could he help Li Zhen deal with the Son of Heaven, and the reverse was about the same, she thought about it and said: "Otherwise, under the pretext of arresting Wu Chenghei, I will leave Luoyang for a few days temporarily, and then look back at the situation." ”

Although this method can only hide for a while, Li Zhen can't think of any other way for a while, so he can only do this first, and then think of a way, but it really can't work, so he took Di Yan and left.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen immediately said to Zhao Qiuniang: "Gather a hundred brothers first, and I will go out of Beijing overnight." ”

After the internal guard officially became an army, it had its own military camp, including Lu Jin and Zhang Li all moved to the barracks, Zhao Qiuniang did not move to the barracks because she was in charge of two hundred hidden guards, at this time there were only ten soldiers on duty in the official office of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, the number was far from enough, and the hidden guards could not be easily used, so they could only wait patiently for the arrival of the soldiers in the barracks.

At this time, it was almost the third watch, there was silence in Luoyang City, only located in the internal guard and external office of Quanshanfang, it was busy, and the lights were not extinguished, although Li Zhen was anxious, he couldn't wait to fly out of Luoyang, and the farther away from Wu Zetian, the better, but he also knew that he couldn't set off too much movement, and he couldn't cause unnecessary suspicion among many people.

It wasn't until the fourth watch that the hundred internal guard soldiers stationed in Xiyuan finally hurried under the leadership of Captain Yang Honglie, Li Zhen also changed into a suit of armor and walked quickly towards the compound, Zhao Qiuniang asked him in a low voice: "Don't you tell Ah Yan?"

Li Zhen stopped, he actually forgot Di Yan, but after only a moment of contemplation, Li Zhen still shook his head, took out a letter and handed it to Zhao Qiuniang, "Please send someone to Chang'an and give this letter to my eldest sister." ”

Zhao Qiuniang took the letter and nodded silently, "Don't worry! I will send someone to deliver the letter today." ”

But just as Li Zhen was about to lead a hundred soldiers out of the official office, a carriage came from a distance and stopped in front of the gate of the Internal Guard and External Office, and a middle-aged man who looked like a butler jumped out of the carriage, holding a letter in his hand, and ran quickly up the steps, and his reckless behavior was immediately stopped by the two internal guard soldiers.

"I have an urgent matter to see General Lee, please give him this letter. ”

The guard soldier who stood guard took the letter, "Wait!" he dropped a word and walked quickly through the door.

In the compound, a hundred soldiers had already finished lining up, waiting for their war horses to be brought in, Li Zhen also put on his helmet, at this time, the sentry outside the door hurriedly ran in, "General!" He handed a letter to Li Zhen, "Someone outside the door sent a letter, saying that there is something urgent." ”

Li Zhen took the letter suspiciously, he took out the letter and looked at it, it turned out to be a letter from Princess Taiping, and he immediately asked, "Where is the person?"

"General Huiyu, wait outside the gate!"

Li Zhen walked out of the door quickly, and when the housekeeper outside the door saw Li Zhen come out, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Li Zhen asked, "Your master wants to see me now?"

"Exactly! My master said if the general could move to see her if he had time. ”

Li Zhen looked at the night, the fourth watch had already passed, Princess Taiping wanted to see her at this time, it must be an important thing, and the letter was vague, there seemed to be something unspeakable, pondering for a moment, Li Zhen said: "Okay! I'll go to your mansion immediately." ”

The housekeeper was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go first and inform the princess!"

The carriage went first, Li Zhen walked back to the compound and told Yang Honglie a few words, asking the soldiers to wait for him to come back before leaving, he also turned over and got on the horse, and under the escort of several soldiers, urged the horse to run towards the mansion of Princess Taiping.

Not long after, Li Zhen ran to the door of Princess Taiping's mansion, only to see Princess Taiping's husband Wu Youji waiting at the door, Li Zhen hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and said: "I'm really sorry to disturb the prince's rest so late!"

Wu Youji has a very docile personality, even a little cowardly, afraid of his wife like a tiger, although his wife has worn him countless green hats, but he still has to endure it, and his wife is pregnant with Liujia, from the time calculation, he feels that it may be his own child, and he has been particularly caring for his wife in the past few months.

Maybe it's because of her husband's guilt, or maybe it's to protect the child, since she got pregnant, Princess Taiping has also restrained a lot and no longer messes around with other men, so this period of time is the most harmonious period of their husband and wife.

Wu Youji hurriedly pulled Li Zhen, "Don't say these kind words again, it's us who disturb the general, come with me!"

Wu Youji led Li Zhen to walk quickly to the inner house, and walked into a courtyard, this is Princess Taiping's bedroom, there are two maids standing at the door, Li Zhen suddenly felt that something was wrong, and in the middle of the night, the third watch ran to Princess Taiping's bedroom to do something, and she was accompanied by her husband.

Wu Youji understood Li Zhen's worries, and explained with a smile: "It's okay, because she is physically inconvenient, she can only see you in the bedroom." ”

"Your Highness, what happened?"

"I don't know, but it's something I've been looking forward to for a long time. ”

Wu Youji was overjoyed, patted Li Zhen on the shoulder, and led him into the bedroom.

Princess Taiping was lying on the spring bed in the inner room, surrounded by dozens of maids serving her, although there was a pink hibiscus tent hanging on the bed, but through the thin curtain, Princess Taiping could still be clearly seen.

I saw that she was wearing a loose red silk skirt, her belly was obviously high and bulging, her body was much fatter than before, the silk skirt was tied on her chest, revealing most of her snow-white breasts and a large piece of spring above her breasts.

"General Li, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Princess Taiping's voice did not change, but it was a little more greasy, as if she had too much fat secretion in her body, and it was oozing a little bit.

Li Zhen hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Humble to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"General Li is welcome, please take a seat!"

Without his wife's instructions, Wu Youji preemptively brought Li Zhen an embroidery pier, Li Zhen felt strange in his heart, but he still sat down on the embroidery pier, and Princess Taiping said to everyone again: "You all retreat, husband, you also retreat, let me and General Li say a few words alone." ”

The maids retreated one after another, although Wu Youji was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to disobey his wife's order, so he had to retreat stupidly, and at this time only Princess Taiping and Li Zhen were left in the room.

Princess Taiping looked at Li Zhen for a moment, then suddenly pursed her lips and asked with a smile: "Are you like following Shen Nanmu, escaping from Luoyang overnight and leaving the world from now on?"

Li Zhen came to her senses at this time, she must have gotten the news from the palace and knew so clearly, but what was she looking for herself so late? Could it be that she wanted to teach herself how to serve her mother? Looking at the large piece of spring light exposed by her body, and lying on the bed in a sultry posture, Li Zhen couldn't help but think for a while.

He replied casually: "The princess said that she laughed, and she was going to secretly track down a person at the behest of His Majesty." ”

"I know, you're going to check on Wu Chenghei, you might as well go find his former manor, maybe he is hiding inside, he should be with Wu Furong. ”

Li Zhen couldn't help but secretly admire Princess Taiping's sharp thinking, and he guessed correctly, he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, for your prompt!"

Princess Taiping gently stroked her stomach, glanced at Li Zhen ambiguously, and asked casually, "Li Zhen, about you and my mother? Do you want me to congratulate you, or do you want me to sympathize with you?"

"It's better to sympathize with me!" Li Zhen said with a wry smile.

Princess Taiping laughed and said in a greasy voice: "But how many people dream but can't, and you don't want to, your glory and wealth, your career, let's put it this way! As long as you stay in the palace tonight, tomorrow you will be General Li, aren't you tempted?"

"I hope to become General Li, but it's better to get it by military merit. ”

"Ambitious, but stupid, okay! How about we make a deal?"

Li Zhen's heart jumped, and he asked in a deep voice, "May I ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, what is the deal?"

Princess Taiping smiled faintly, "It's the result you want, I can persuade my mother to give up on you, the whole world, maybe only I can convince my mother, are you willing?"

How could Li Zhen not be willing, he also realized that only Princess Taiping could persuade Wu Zetian, but Princess Taiping was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she might not be able to afford her favor, Li Zhen was silent for a moment and asked, "What conditions?"

Princess Taiping squinted and laughed, she gently pulled up her skirt, revealing her two snow-white thighs, and looked at Li Zhen with a teasing gaze, as if asking Li Zhen if she understood what she meant, Li Zhen's face suddenly turned red, and her eyes moved to the ground.

Princess Taiping looked at Li Zhen without blinking, "General Li, are you tempted?"

"Your Highness's body—" Li Zhen hinted at her.

Princess Taiping put down her skirt again and said lightly: "Of course I know my body, in fact, I just want to ask, that woman can attract you, what about me, how am I compared to her?"

Li Zhen sighed secretly in his heart, the fighting spirit of Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er spread to him, he didn't dare to offend Princess Taiping at this time, so he had to answer against his will: "The princess is young and beautiful, how can Li Zhen not be tempted, but Li Zhen has a last resort, please forgive the princess!"

Li Zhen's answer made Princess Taiping very satisfied, and she smiled coquettishly: "Okay! I remember your words, General Li, my condition is very simple, I want you to eliminate my prejudice in your heart from now on, and regard me as a woman who is willing to help you and has kindness to you, is this condition okay?"

"Your Highness can help me with this, I am naturally grateful to Her Royal Highness the princess in my heart, where will there be any prejudices!"

Princess Taiping nodded, "On this condition, you can go! By the way, let my husband come in, I'm a little tired." ”

"Princess, I'm afraid that tomorrow night, the Holy Lord will—" Li Zhen reminded her again.

"Don't worry, I will enter the palace at noon tomorrow and persuade my mother. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your great kindness!"

Li Zhen saluted and slowly retreated, Princess Taiping looked at him and left, and laughed softly, how could she not want this favor.
