I don't know how long it took, the candle was lit again, Shangguan Wan'er tidied up her messy head, her face was still red, she pulled Li Zhen to sit down, poured him another cup of tea, sat next to him, directly pillowed her head on his shoulder, breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, and whispered in his ear and laughed: "You are so powerful, once she tastes it, it is estimated that she will not let go (you) anymore." ”

Li Zhen was in a very distressed mood, he put his hands in his head, and said very depressedly: "Then what do you say, I don't want to be her male pet." ”

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flowed, and she said to him softly: "I thought she had forgotten you, but I didn't expect that she had never forgotten, her personal palace maid told me that she had taken a fancy to you as early as the last autumn hunt, and it was only because of me that she didn't attack you, and recently Shen Nanmu had an accident, she was physically and mentally lonely, and she began to be tempted by you again, otherwise how could she give you the Royal Villa." ”

Li Zhen nodded, "I feel it too." ”

Shangguan Wan'er stroked her face and said softly: "I can only protect you for a while, and I may not be able to protect you in the future, the best way is for you to get married quickly! After all, she is a person who wants face, and she will not touch Di Xiangguo's son-in-law, but it is estimated that you will fall out of favor." ”

"I don't care, if it were possible, I would rather not have this official position and flee back to Dunhuang directly. ”

"Stop saying such stupid things!"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and smiled: "Listen to me, marry Miss Di early! ”

Li Zhen didn't expect her to persuade him to marry Di Yan, he couldn't suppress his feelings in his heart, he took her into his arms, and whispered: "You can marry me too!"

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes burst out with a complicated look, and after a while, she gently pushed Li Zhen away, stood up and walked slowly to the window, she stared at the bright moon outside the window, and whispered: "Ah Zhen, I like you very much, if I were an ordinary woman, I would definitely marry you, but I have to tell you the truth, between you and power, I love the latter more, without you, I will still live well, but without power, I can't live a day, do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Li Zhen nodded and said, "I'm also very happy that you can be so honest." ”

Shangguan Wan'er sighed again, "The Holy Lord once asked me to marry Wu Sansi, but I told her that I would not marry again in my life, so she no longer forced me, if I marry you, she will not let me go first, and she will not let you go." ”

At this moment, the voice of the maid Xiao'e came from outside the door, "Master, Gonggong Ma has come to pass the word and asked General Li to go to the imperial study to see him." ”

Li Zhen was stunned, could it be that Wu Zetian still refused to let himself go? He looked at Shangguan Wan'er worriedly, and Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Don't worry! She is not in the mood today, she should be looking for you to have something right." ”

Li Zhen stood up, stepped forward and took Shangguan Wan'er into her arms, kissed her on the red lips, turned around and left Shangguan Wan'er's courtroom, Shangguan Wan'er looked at him with fascination and walked away, and after a while, she sighed lowly.

Li Zhen followed the eunuch to the Zhenguan Hall in a nervous mood, although Shangguan Wan'er told him that Wu Zetian was no longer in the mood, but the gentleman's heart was unpredictable, especially the mood of the old woman was even more unpredictable, if Wu Zetian was not interested in herself tonight, then what did she summon herself to do?

But the matter has come to this point, it is impossible for him to break out of Yingtianmen again, so he has to follow the eunuch to the front of the imperial study, and the eunuch waved his hand to stop him, "General Li wait, wait for our family to go in and report to the saint." ”

The eunuch walked into the imperial study, and came out for a moment and said to Li Zhen: "General Li, the Holy Lord has announced that you are here!"

Li Zhen pressed the tension in his heart and walked into the imperial study, compared with the dim candlelight in Shangguan Wan'er's room, Wu Zetian's imperial study was extremely bright, even a little dazzling, so that Li Zhen saw Wu Sansi standing against the wall at a glance, only to see Wu Sansi's face pale, his expression trembling, bowing his head and not saying a word, and he turned a blind eye to his entry.

Li Zhen's heart hanging in the air suddenly fell, he actually had a good impression of Wu Sansi for the first time, how opportune it was for Wu Sansi to appear in the imperial study at this time.

Li Zhen then saw Wu Zetian again, and the expression on Wu Zetian's face made him further disheartened, only to see Wu Zetian's face full of anger, pacing back and forth with his hands in his hands, Li Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Weichen Li Zhen see Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian ignored him, she angrily said to Gao Yanfu at the door: "This news must be tightly sealed, and anyone who dares to talk about this matter in the palace will be executed!"

"The old slave obeys!"

Gao Yanfu saluted and immediately retreated, and Wu Zetian said to Li Zhen: "General Li, please get up!"

Wu Zetian originally planned to be fortunate to come to Li Zhen tonight, there is a resting place in her imperial study, sometimes she deals with court affairs too late, and her body is tired, she spends the night directly in the imperial study, so once Li Zhen enters the imperial study tonight, it can only leave tomorrow morning, or even noon.

But just now, that is, when Li Zhen followed Gao Yanfu into the imperial city, Shangguan Wan'er urgently reported a news to her, Wu Chengsi in Guangzhou was just a stand-in, the real Wu Chengsi had disappeared, and it was likely that he had absconded back to the capital.

Although Wu Sansi denied that he didn't know, Wu Zetian, who was carried away by anger, still scolded Wu Sansi fiercely, at this time Li Zhen had entered the imperial study, Wu Zetian was still angry, and pointed at Wu Sansi angrily and reprimanded: "When will you give me a little bit of anger, all of you are stupid and incompetent, all of you are masters of drinking and drinking, but you can't do any serious things, how can I trust you and hand over the big things to you, if you don't manage the family well, you will also roll me to Guangzhou!"

Wu Sansi was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, in fact, he was also very aggrieved in his heart, what did Wu Chengsi do if he absconded back to him, if he knew that Wu Chengsi had fled back, he would not let Wu Chengsi go first, and still use the saint to scold him?

Although she was aggrieved in her heart, Wu Sansi didn't dare to explain, so she had to be scolded, at this time Wu Zetian was also a little tired, she sat down tiredly, and glanced at Li Zhen, she was expecting to wait for Li Zhen to come over, and specially bathed in incense, but at this time she was in a bad mood, and she was no longer interested, so she summoned Li Zhen over, but there were other arrangements.

"General Li, Wu Chengsi is no longer in Guangzhou, do you know?"

Li Zhen's heart jumped, how could he not know that he and Di Yan also saw Wu Chengsi last night, he bit his lip, secretly warned himself not to show his mouth, bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know!"

"You shouldn't know either, but I suspect that he is already lurking in the capital, so you find him out for me and arrest him to see me!"

Li Zhen seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, as long as there was a task, he could leave the capital, and he hurriedly responded: "Weichen will definitely not let Your Majesty down." ”

At this time, Wu Zetian felt physically and mentally exhausted, and she waved her hand, "You all stand down! ”

Li Zhen and Wu Sansi hurriedly retreated, and at this time, Wu Zetian suddenly shouted in a low voice: "General Li!"

Li Zhen's heart jumped violently, he stopped, but he didn't dare to raise his head, Wu Zetian slowly stepped forward, reached out and picked up his chin, a pair of phoenix eyes stared at him for a moment, and slowly approached him, Li Zhen felt the heat of her body, his muscles tensed all over his body, becoming stiffer than wood, Wu Zetian actually kissed him on the face, like an old hen giggled, "Are you nervous?"

Li Zhen nodded, and Wu Zetian's brows furrowed slightly, "Have you drunk?"

"Tonight, the internal guard celebrates the expansion of the army, and Weichen drinks a little more. ”

"No wonder I was full of wine, and it seemed that there was a little bit of fat powder. ”

Where did Li Zhen dare to say that he had just come out of Shangguan Wan'er, and hurriedly explained: "There are orchids waiting during the banquet. ”

Wu Zetian was about to ask someone to take him to bathe, but she remembered Wu Chenghe's incident again, and her heart suddenly became bored, and the trace of sexuality that had just risen faded again, so she waved her hand and said, "Go! Don't go to drink these days, don't go to find women, do things for me." ”

Li Zhen was suddenly relieved, and hurriedly retreated, as soon as he left the imperial study, he ran wildly outside the palace, and several palace maids couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh when they saw him looking embarrassed.

Li Zhen ran down the steps in one breath before he stopped, bent over and let out a long breath, at this time, Wu Sansi's laughter came from the side, "General Li, congratulations!"

Li Zhen turned around, only to see Wu Sansi slowly walking out from the shadow next to him, with a smile on his face, it is estimated that he heard a little wind, and he wanted to please himself, Li Zhen felt a burst of disgust in his heart, and said coldly: "I don't understand what the prince means, how can I be happy?"

"What a pity! It happens that the saint is in a bad mood today, so you didn't experience the taste of pie falling from the world, it is estimated that General Li will know tomorrow, and I want to congratulate General Li in advance. ”

"The prince thinks too much. ”

Li Zhen didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, and walked quickly in the direction of Yingtianmen, Wu Sansi hurriedly followed him, and said in a low voice: "I don't know where General Li is going to start? ”

"I don't know, let's send someone around first!"

Wu Sansi said again: "If General Li finds out his whereabouts, can you tell me first?"

Li Zhen stopped and glanced at Wu Sansi, "If the prince has something to say, he will say it clearly." ”

"Then I'll say it bluntly, Wu Chengsi assassinated the general several times, he was extremely disrespectful to me, he once sent someone to assassinate me, he is the common enemy of the two of us, it is better for us to join forces to deal with him, and not give him a chance to turn the tables. ”

Li Zhen pondered, "Is what the prince said serious?"

"No jokes. ”

"Then the prince, please give me a token, so that I don't worry that the prince will not believe in his words. ”

Of course, Wu Sansi will not write any written guarantees, he is actually an extremely cunning person, and cooperating with Li Zhen to deal with Wu Chengsi is just a temporary idea for him, or just an excuse for him, because he learned that the saint has taken a fancy to Li Zhen, and just now, he heard with his own ears that the saint wanted Li Zhen to stay, so he thought about how to ease the contradiction between them, lest Li Zhen hold a grudge.

So joining forces to deal with Wu Chengsi is the best opportunity, Wu Sansi flattered Li Zhen eagerly, immediately took off the jade pendant from his waist, presented it to Li Zhen with both hands, and said with a smile: "Take this jade pendant as a token to show my sincerity." ”

Li Zhen snatched the jade pendant, turned around and walked away, Wu Sansi looked at Li Zhen walking away, and was envious in his heart, if he was not the nephew of the saint, how good it would be.

Li Zhen borrowed one from the internal security office, galloped all the way, and rushed back to the internal security and external office after a short time, he turned over and dismounted, walked into the gate quickly, and shouted: "Someone!"

Several soldiers on duty rushed one after another, and Li Zhen ordered them: "Go and find General Zhao Lang, saying that there is an urgent mission!"

Several soldiers rushed away, and at this time, Li Pan, the captain on duty, also heard the news, and when he saw that Li Zhen was impatient, he asked in surprise: "General, what happened?"

"Nothing, urgent assignment. ”

Li Zhen walked into his official room in a distraught manner, pacing back and forth in the room, he remembered what Wu Zetian had told him, tell him not to drink in the past two days, and not to look for women, obviously, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he will be in a catastrophe, what should he do?

Li Zhen stood in front of the window with his hands down, looking at the heavy night sky, he couldn't help but sigh, maybe marrying Di Yan was the best way, but it would be a month or two at the earliest, and it would be too late.
