That night, Wu Zetian finished the imperial meal, so he took four palace maids and two little eunuchs to the imperial garden, and naturally followed Dugu Lantai by his side.

The weather at night is still very cool, at this time Wu Zetian is wearing a phoenix crown, wearing a red mink fur coat, this coat is still a gift from the Tubo Kingdom to the Tang Dynasty last year, its well-made, atmospheric and beautiful, and her temperament is perfectly integrated, it can be called a perfect match!

In the Imperial Garden, Wu Zetian sat at the top of the pavilion, holding a small copper hand stove in the shape of a ball in both hands. The four palace maids behind him stood still with the palace lanterns, ready to serve at any time. Two little eunuchs, one standing outside the pavilion and the other outside the arched gate of the imperial garden, probably guarding the outside to prevent outsiders from disturbing them.

The next position was accompanied by Dugu Lantai, who was originally not qualified to sit with Wu Zetian as Dugu Lantai's guard, but he just sat there, what does this mean? It is obvious that Wu Zetian dotes and loves Dugu Lantai!

Due to the cold weather, the snow has not completely melted, and the original garden full of flowers, rockeries, lakes, small bridges, and strange rocks and rocks has also been completely covered by the sudden heavy snow, and the beauty of the past is no longer visible. However, it turned out that there were a few not very random plum blossoms in the corner of the wall, but they were particularly bright at this time, Wu Zetian looked at the plum blossoms in a daze, and unconsciously passed a long time.

Suddenly, a bird landed on the plum tree and chirped, only to wake up Wu Zetian, who had entered the gods.

Wu Zetian turned his head to look at Dugu Lantai and sighed: "Hey! I'm getting older, and I'm a little absorbed in thinking about things." ”

Dugu Lantai said with a smile: "The queen of heaven has a peerless appearance, eternal youth, and is as domineering as a dragon!

Wu Zetian was overjoyed when he heard this, glared at Dugu Lantai and said, "You can speak." ”

Wu Zetian said: "Lantai, do you think I'm a good person or a bad person?"

Dugu Lantai was stunned, he didn't expect Wu Zetian to ask such a question.

Dugu Lantai thought for a while and said: "No matter what others think, you are a good queen in Lantai's heart and in the hearts of the people of the world, and I believe that you will also be a good emperor in the future." ”

Now, Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne and becoming the emperor is a foregone conclusion, and it is not a secret, there is nothing to taboo, so Dugu Lantai said so.

Wu Zetian said: "But there are still many people in the world who don't think so!"

Dugu Lantai said: "As the saying goes, 'how can you be as good as you want, but you want to be worthy of your heart!' how can you get the appreciation of others for everything, Lantai feels that the merits and demerits should be left to future generations to comment, and you can only be worthy of heaven and earth! ”

Wu Zetian's eyes lit up, and his heart was shocked by Dugu Lantai's words, and the stone that had been pressed in his heart for a long time seemed to have been removed all at once, and he suddenly felt extremely relaxed.

As her power grew bigger and her status became higher and higher, she had more and more problems to consider, and sometimes she couldn't sleep all night, and now she was woken up by Dugu Lantai's words.

"Yes, what do you do with so much, as long as you are worthy of all the people in the world, let them say whatever you want!" Wu Zetian said in his heart.

Wu Zetian looked at Dugu Lantai and felt a lot of emotion, she liked this child very much since she saw Dugu Lantai for the first time, and when she saw him, Wu Zetian would have an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

He is handsome, intelligent, both civil and military, and temperamental! But the most important thing is his identity: the Dugu family!

This is the real reason why Wu Zetian loves him very much, because Wu Zetian's mother is also from a super gate valve family, so the famous "Hongnong Yang Family"!

Moreover, the Dugu family and the Yang family have been married for generations, and their bloodlines are already very close to each other to a certain extent.

In modern history, there were three amazing women in the Dugu family at the same time, because their family came out of three Dugu queens, they were: Empress Mingjing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, that is, the eldest daughter of Dugu Nobu, married Yuwentai's eldest son Yuwenyu, who was the Ming Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. There is also Empress Wenwen of Sui, the seventh daughter of Dugu Xin, who married Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian. The last is Empress Tang Yuanzhen, the fourth daughter of Dugu Xin, and the mother of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. They were born to the same father, which caused quite a stir in the world at the time.

The three women of the Dugu family are also admired by Wu Zetian very much.

And just now, Dugu Lantai was able to say such insightful words, which really impressed her. She said secretly in her heart: "Looking at the young leaders in today's major families, whether it is literature or martial arts, only Dugu Lantai is the first!"

Wu Zetian laughed and said: "Okay, good! It is worthy of being the son of the unicorn of the Dugu family, and it is worthy of being the disciple taught by the five of them, and one sentence swept away the haze in my heart, which is really impressive, I find that I like you more and more now." With such insight at a young age, your future is limitless!"

Dugu Lantai hurriedly said: "The queen of heaven raises love, Lantai is just a little smart, with the wisdom of the queen of heaven, although you are in the game, it won't take long to figure it out." ”

Wu Zetian said: "Well, having said that, but now it is a critical moment, you are still reminding you quite timely, although you and I are very different in age and identity, but we can also be each other's confidants or forgetful friends, hey! I don't have many friends in my life, and the only ones who can really let go of all identities and talk sincerely are your master master Phoenix and the fifth master Shangguan Wan'er, and the two of them are also strange women in this world, in private, we are each other's confidants, and we have nothing to talk about, and now there is another you, I am very relieved!" Wu Zetian looked quite excited.

Dugu Lantai was stunned, stood up and said a little nervously: "Thank you, Lantai is flattered." ”

Wu Zetian said again: "Your mother and my mother are both from the 'Hongnong Yang family', and the two of them are still sisters, in terms of generation, you should call me my sister for life." Am I right?"

Dugu Lantai said: "That's true. ”

Wu Zetian said: "So, you don't need to be too restrained in front of me, don't be nervous, sit down." ”

Dugu Lantai sat down again, the two talked a lot again, and seeing that it was getting late, Wu Zetian asked, "Lantai, do you think this assassin will come tonight?"

Dugu Lantai immediately looked up at the dark sky, except for a round of dim moonlight, nothing else could be seen, indicating that the weather was indeed not very good tonight, so the "Astrology" taught by the fourth master Li Chunfeng could not be used. But he didn't give up, and then he looked at the branches of a few willows in the garden, and the thin willow branches were gently swaying with the breeze, although the amplitude was not very large, but it showed that there was a wind tonight.

The corners of Dugu Lantai's mouth curled slightly, then closed his eyes, carefully felt the direction of the wind around him, the speed of the wind, and the changes of the wind together, and used the Taoist mystic technique "The Art of Wind Jian" taught by the third master Yuan Tiangang to calculate the good luck and evil tonight.

After just a cup of tea, Dugu Lantai opened his eyes and smiled at Wu Zetian and said, "The assassins will come tonight, and they will not come back, and none of them will be able to escape!"
