Chapter 39: The Empress's Sin
Wang Hai hesitated for a moment and looked at Old Madam Wang, but she didn't react at all. Wang Hai had to grit his teeth and nodded. Those people knew that Wang Hai was motioning to continue, so they took another step closer to Feiyun.
Seeing that these people ignored his warnings, Feiyun couldn't help but be furious, and immediately took out a folding fan from his waist and made a gesture in front of those people. Suddenly there was a burst of dust, and a clear mark appeared on the ground.
Feiyun glanced at everyone and said coldly, "If anyone crosses this line, I won't show mercy!" Then he said to Mrs. Wang: "Senior, don't force me! ”
Old Madam Wang said: "It's getting late, and it's inconvenient for us to stay guests, so we just want you to leave as soon as possible!" Didn't mean to hurt you! ”
At this time, a strong man stepped over the trace, but Feiyun heard where the person was, and he didn't know where he was, but just opened the folding fan and slammed it behind him. A strong wind burst out, and the man immediately took a few steps backwards and fell to the ground. The rest of the people were so frightened that they did not dare to go any further.
Old Madam Wang was also taken aback, she didn't expect Feiyun's body to turn and still easily knock down the strong man. She didn't know that this was still Feiyun's mercy, and she didn't use all her strength.
Old Madam Wang and Wang Hai originally wanted to attack Feiyun suddenly when Feiyun turned around, in order to restrain him in one fell swoop. Even if you can't subdue Feiyun, you can still seize the opportunity.
Seeing that the plan had failed, Mrs. Wang had to wave her hand to stop everyone, and said coldly, "What do you want?" Do you have to take this slut away? ”
Feiyun clearly wanted to take Wu Zetian away, but this old lady Wang was afraid that she would stop her desperately, so she said: "Senior, junior didn't say that he wanted to take away Mrs. Li. The junior has already said that you will protect her safety, as long as you promise not to harm her life and tarnish her innocence! ”
Old Madam Wang snorted and sneered, "Do you want us to worship her?" Liu Qing shook his head and said, "The junior knows that you have a grudge, and you will not be polite to her." As long as you don't go too far, I won't interfere! ”
Old Madam Wang couldn't help but look at Feiyun in surprise, and said with some confusion: "Presumably you heard our conversation with her just now, and you also know our grudge against her. Do you think it's too much for us to ask her to bow down and atone for her sins? ”
Feiyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Although the junior heard something, he didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't make a judgment. ”
Mrs. Wang asked, "If you knew the reason and thought that the slut was indeed guilty, what would you do?" ”
Feiyun pondered for a while and said, "If this is indeed the case, the junior will try to persuade her to bow down and apologize." Feiyun didn't care about Wu Zetian's face, he only cared about her life and death. If Wu Zetian killed someone's relatives for no reason, he should also bow down and atone for his sins.
Old Madam Wang and Wang Hai both stared at Feiyun with wide eyes, obviously Feiyun's words were beyond their imagination. They thought that even if Feiyun thought that Wu Zetian was guilty, they would try their best to protect him, but they didn't expect him to agree to the request to bow down and atone for his sins.
Wang Hai naturally didn't believe Feiyun's words, maybe it was just perfunctory, so he asked: "Lin Shaoxia, do you think our request is not too much?" ”
Feiyun was not interested in the feud between them, and did not want to ask. But the situation in front of him forced him to figure out the reason, otherwise it would be difficult for this matter to be good.
Feiyun thought for a moment and said, "I mean, if it's true that she has done something hurtful, I will persuade her." If you slander her, you will naturally not be able to accept it. ”
Old Madam Wang felt that Feiyun's attitude was very serious, not like she was perfunctory, and her face softened, so she said to Wang Hai: "Hai'er, go and bring the slut here!" ”
Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Grandma, this can't be done." If he has other plans, then it's trouble! We can't and don't have to take that risk! ”
Mrs. Wang said: "I believe that the three heroes of Xiaoxiang are not vain in their reputation. We have so many people here, but we are afraid of him alone, doesn't it make people laugh? If it was just our unilateral statement, this Lin Shaoxia might not believe it. The presence of a slut allows him not to have doubts. Lin Shaoxia, what do you say? ”
Feiyun immediately said: "The seniors are reasonable. Juniors can promise you that I will not do anything to you for no reason until things are clear! ”
Since Old Madam Wang wanted to make things clear, Feiyun didn't need to rush to save Wu Zetian. He hoped to settle their enmity in a peaceful way. Although the possibility is very small, Feiyun can only try to try.
Wang Hai listened to the words of Old Lady Wang and Feiyun, although he was still a little reluctant, he still went to bring Wu Zetian over. However, he stood closely by Wu Zetian's side so that he could control Wu Zetian at any time.
Feiyun looked at Wu Zetian, and when she saw that she was about to speak again, she hurriedly said, "Mrs. Li, don't talk yet." You also heard what we just said, so I won't say more. I'll listen to this old lady Wang now, and then I'll listen to you. Wu Zetian had no choice but to keep silent.
Old Madam Wang also ignored Wu Zetian, but pointed at the spirit card and said to Feiyun: "Lin Shaoxia, do you know who the person is written on this spirit card?" ”
Feiyun looked at the spirit card with six big characters written on it: "The Divine Position of the First Queen". Naturally, he didn't know, so he shook his head.
Mrs. Wang told Feiyun that this former empress was Emperor Gaozong's empress Wang, her sister-in-law, that is, the sister of Mrs. Wang's husband.
When Emperor Taizong died, Wu Zetian was a talented person who served Taizong, but at that time her name was Wu Meiniang. Because Wu Meiniang did not give birth to a boy and a girl, she was sent to Ganye Temple as a nun.
Seeing that Wu Meiniang was still very young and smart, Queen Wang took her back to the palace from Ganye Temple. Queen Wang knew that Gaozong and Wu Meiniang had a personal relationship before, but she still praised Wu Meiniang in front of Gaozong. Wu Meiniang was even more favored and soon promoted to Zhaoyi.
Wu Meiniang did not want to repay the kindness of Queen Wang, but instead tried to seize the position of queen. Not long after Wu Meiniang gave birth to her daughter, Queen Wang came to visit her. After the two had spoken for a while, the queen got up and left.
Wu Meiniang strangled her daughter to death after Queen Wang left. She then cried to Gaozong that it was the queen who strangled her daughter. She also said that Queen Wang was jealous of Wu Meiniang because she did not give birth to children.
Gaozong was confused by Wu Meiniang's rhetoric, and was furious, and immediately abolished the queen and sent the queen into the cold palace. Wu Meiniang became the queen and was in power.
Soon after, Gaozong remembered the old feelings and wanted to release the queen from the cold palace. When Wu Meiniang learned about it, she killed Queen Wang very cruelly. Then exiled the family of Empress Wang to Lingnan, and it was at that time that Mrs. Wang was forced to leave the capital.
For more than 40 years, Mrs. Wang's husband could not get used to the harsh environment in the south, and he was depressed and died early. Fortunately, Mrs. Wang's son was still young at that time and needed to be taken care of, otherwise Mrs. Wang would have followed her husband.
Mrs. Wang's son died of illness when he was in his twenties, leaving Mrs. Wang with a grandson who was just over two years old, Wang Hai. Mrs. Wang thinks that all her misfortunes are caused by Wu Zetian, and she hates Wu Zetian to the core, and always wants to seek revenge on Wu Zetian.
Mrs. Wang took care of the children while practicing martial arts diligently. Although she has achieved great success in martial arts, she has never encountered a suitable opportunity. Until recently, she got the news that Wu Zetian was going to tour Jingzhou in advance, and thought that the opportunity had come.
After careful arrangement, Wang Hai finally succeeded in robbing Wu Zetian to the cave. In the past few days, Mrs. Wang has forced Wu Zetian to kneel in front of the queen's spirit card to atone for her sins. Wu Zetian naturally refused, so Mrs. Wang ordered someone to hold Wu Zetian and kneel to atone for her sins.
When Mrs. Wang said this, she stopped and asked Feiyun: "Lin Shaoxia, do you think the old body wants her to kneel down to atone for her sins, is it wrong?" ”
Feiyun listened just now while observing Wu Zetian's expression. He saw that Wu Zetian didn't have a particularly angry look, but when Mrs. Wang said that she strangled her daughter to death, his face was slightly guilty, but he quickly returned to normal.
Feiyun didn't answer Old Madam Wang immediately, but asked Wu Zetian: "Mrs. Li, did this Old Madam Wang say that she wronged you?" ”
Wu Zetian thought for a moment and replied proudly: "Lin Shaoxia, the process she said is roughly not bad. However, there are some details, how can she, an outsider, know the inside story. She was just guessing privately, not the truth. ”
。 Feiyun was a little confused about Wu Zetian's attitude, and asked again: "What did she say wrong?" Wu Zetian said: "She accused me of strangling her daughter, which is simply nonsense. How could I kill my daughter with my own hands, the tiger poison does not eat children, am I so ruthless? ”
Mrs. Wang shouted: "Decades have passed, and you still don't admit it? Then I ask you, who killed your daughter? Is it really a queen? Why did the queen do this? At that time, the crown prince was the adopted son of the queen, and you gave birth to a princess, and there was no threat to the queen, so why did she do this? ”
Wu Zetian said: "As for whether it is your sister-in-law, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, she was the only one who came to my bedroom at that time, not her, who could it be?" Although Wu Zetian regarded Queen Wang as a murderer, he did not directly say that Queen Wang was the murderer.
Feiyun thought to herself that she might be afraid of completely angering the other party, so she left room to speak. However, it is really difficult to determine this matter, and if no one sees it with their own eyes, it is difficult to determine who the murderer is. Since I didn't find out at the time, it's even more difficult now!
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was about to go over and beat Wu Zetian. Feiyun hurriedly stopped her and said, "Senior, please don't be impatient. I think there's something strange about this! Please wait until I'm done, okay? ”
Seeing that Feiyun didn't seem to believe Wu Zetian's words, Old Madam Wang barely suppressed her anger and restrained her figure. She wanted to see what Feiyun would do next!
Feiyun glanced at Wu Zetian and asked, "This old lady said that you killed Queen Wang, but is there such a thing?" ”
